Ancient prism star.
Central continent, core area.
Federal City No. 7, in the lightless zone.
Located in a bar in the heart of the area.
This is the 32nd tavern built by Wildfire Tavern on this planet, and it is also the only tavern in this No. 7 city.
Now, after more than three years of hard work and development, the Wildfire Tavern has initially completed the construction of the tavern in the Central Continent on this planet.
All of this is not only due to the strong adaptability and expansion capabilities of the Covenant Wildfire Department, but also thanks to a group of "underground workers" led by the tunnel worm Xiaolan who diligently dug tunnels between various cities.
In the past few years, although the star master Zhang Xiaoman has never been here, the "tunnel worm plan" he had set was successfully implemented.
Centered on the city in the passage area where the World Tree branch base is located, radiating expansion began outwards, and a large number of underground passages were excavated.
Through the innate racial ability of the Nydus Worms, these passages are very hard after being solidified. Even if a large-yield nuclear bomb is detonated in the city above, the rock formations here will still be as hard as iron and will not be damaged by the shock at all.
This was once the biggest headache for humans on this planet, but now it has become the key to saving people.
In order to improve work efficiency, the Covenant sold ways to sign contracts with Nydus Worms at a low price in the Wildfire Tavern.
Through this simple contract, bounty hunters with dark spiritual power can capture their own Nydus Insects, and then add a certain amount of spirituality to them by feeding them spirit fruits, and finally use the contract to capture them. Subdue your own spiritual beast.
Of course, this process is very cumbersome. Not only do you need to be a real Dark Soul user, but you also need to have enough points to redeem and learn contract spells.
After learning all this, you still need to find an adult Nydus Worm that is alive and uninfected. Finally, after a period of spiritual fruit cultivation and emotional cultivation, you can subdue it as your own spiritual beast through the power of the contract.
Basically, in the entire wildfire department, there are only a handful of people who can meet the above conditions.
For these bounty hunters, just the first step of becoming a Darkling is already very rare, not to mention the following conditions.
However, the harsh conditions bring higher returns and benefits.
If they can capture a Nydus Worm as their spiritual beast, then this team will gain a continuous and stable source of points contribution and income.
Simply using Nydus Worms to dig underground tunnels, the team can harvest funds and point rewards based on the length of their excavation.
It can be said that as long as they harvest a Nydus Worm, even if they do nothing on this planet in the future, as long as they let the Nydus Worms dig tunnels, their income will surpass that of many of their peers.
This is a long-term and stable investment with an amazing rate of return, attracting the attention of countless bounty hunters.
Unfortunately, due to the strict conditions, the number of Nydus Worms registered so far has not exceeded twenty.
Part of the reason for this is also related to the increasingly scarce number of wild Nydus worms on this planet.
After the arrival of the Scarlet Sun, the original ecological chain of the planet was completely broken, and there were basically no normal wild animals in the land and shallow sea areas.
The animals were either affected by the scarlet light and turned into horrific aberrations, or they lost the ability to survive due to the destruction of the ecological chain.
Only in the underground world and the seabed where light radiation cannot reach will wild creatures survive and silently continue the ecological history of this planet.
Fortunately, the deep seabed is an area isolated from the land after all. It can be said that it has its own unique ecological chain and is less affected.
But Nydus Worms are different. Although they usually live underground, they always have to return to the surface.
And under such circumstances, once it returns to the ground, it will be contaminated by the scarlet light and become an irrational aberration.
Coupled with related issues such as food sources, the Nydus Worms, which have always been known for their survivability on the Ancient Length Planet and were a huge headache for the federal government, are now on the road to extinction.
Counting Xiao Lan captured by Zhang Xiaoman, the nineteen existing Nydus Worms are almost the last wild Nydus Worms found by the Covenant in the detectable area.
Each of these bugs is a treasure.
They are not only the treasures of the bounty hunter team to which they belong, but also the precious assets of the entire Star Alliance and even the survivors of the entire Ancient Leng Star. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are "ball treasures".
Now, with the help of these ball treasures, the Star Alliance has generally connected the entire Central Continent area.
Although it is not possible to divide it into every small urban area, large areas and cities in the Central Continent usually have such an underground passage.
This place, located in the seventh city in the core area of the Federation Central Continent, was one of the most prosperous cities in the Federation. It was naturally connected to the underground passage from the Star Alliance.
In City No. 7, in the Wildfire Tavern, a dozen figures were sitting scattered.
They kept a certain distance from each other and were roughly divided into four groups, which seemed to be four bounty hunter teams.
Unlike the first Wildfire Tavern established on the Ancient Leng Planet three years ago, almost all the bounty hunters here are survivors from this planet.
As the Wildfire Tavern expands, more and more survivors learn of its existence through the Light of Hope array in the sky.
Now everyone knows that on this planet, if you really can't survive, you may still be able to try your luck at the Wildfire Tavern.
The Wildfire Tavern is an organization affiliated with the Covenant Wildfire Department. It is responsible for gathering participating survivors on the planet and can guide them to the location of the Yggdrasil base.
At the same time, if you can complete the tasks here, then with the rewards you get from the tasks, you may be able to live a better life here.
For the ancient people who have lived in this era for several years, there is nothing more tempting than survival.
Some survivors entered the World Tree base through the Wildfire Tavern, which caused the originally idle living environment in the base to become crowded.
In the end, the World Tree base could no longer accommodate new survivors. Before further expansion was completed, others could only stay in the lightless zone outside the base, or stay in the original city.
As a result, the remaining survivors can only seek new sources of supplies through the Wildfire Tavern.
They have been able to survive in such a doomsday environment until now. It can be said that each of them has two brushes. This specialty can be reflected in the combat effectiveness of the Chinese people, and can also be reflected in sufficient vigilance and survival experience.
In order to obtain more supplies, these survivors joined the Wildfire Tavern one after another, became a bounty hunter, and began to accept tasks in exchange for points and rewards.
Therefore, in every survivor gathering area, the number of people in the Wildfire Tavern can be said to be the largest in the area.
The Anonymous Zone was originally known as the black market. Now after the establishment of the Wildfire Tavern, people began to gather here spontaneously. With the tavern as the center, a unique set of doomsday markets was established. Through barter, Ways to exchange materials.
Maybe it's because the Wildfire Tavern in City No. 7 has just been established not long ago and has not been discovered by the survivors yet, so compared to the Taverns in other cities, it seems too deserted.
At this moment in the tavern, a group of survivors who had just become bounty hunters for a few days were still carefully analyzing the mission and planning to find the beginning of their hunting careers.
The clothes these people wear are almost the same as those of survivors in other cities. They are almost all made of light fiber jackets and various rusty metal pieces. They do not look like a planet with a higher level of civilization than the Aqua Blue Star. The planet is full of strong cyberpunk style.
While these people were looking for their mission, they secretly focused their attention on a man in silver-white clothing in the middle of the tavern, as if they had made an appointment.
The man was sitting there alone, drinking the Langc wine, a specialty of the Aphotic Zone, without saying a word, as if he was waiting for someone.
"Hey, Yagao, have you heard? This man is a bounty hunter from another city. He seems to be the awakener of the Star Alliance. He looks very powerful."
"The Awakeners of the Star Alliance? Oh, that alien civilization that claims to want to save our world? I know this. I heard that they opened the Wildfire Tavern."
"Haha, save the world... God knows if they brought this apocalyptic disaster. The so-called saving the world is probably a way to rule our planet..."
"Yeah, I've seen a lot of science fiction movies before. The aliens in them used this method to invade us. They first destroyed us with biological and chemical weapons, and then kept us in captivity in the name of salvation. , and finally let us squeeze out the last bit of value we have left while working hard for them..."
"..."
On the surrounding tables, several survivors were discussing something in low voices.
It can be seen from their words that these people don't seem to be interested in the arrival of the Covenant, and there is no trace of the gratitude and excitement that the victims feel when they see the rescuers.
This situation is actually the norm on this planet.
After all, the appearance of the Covenant was too coincidental. Not long after the doomsday broke out, a group of aliens descended on the planet, saying they wanted to save the people here. This storyline looked like a conspiracy.
Previously, in many other urban areas, taverns encountered a lot of similar suspicion when they were first established.
But as time goes by, everyone's dissatisfaction gradually subsides. At least on the surface, few people will continue to say similar things.
After all, the Wildfire Tavern has really given them the living supplies they need. Even if they still have doubts about the Covenant in their hearts, they will definitely not say it out loud. Misfortune comes from the mouth. For them, survival is the first priority now. level goals.
However, the tavern in City No. 7 has just been established, and the trust of nearby survivors in it is still at a relatively low level. Most people are still in the wait-and-see stage, and the number of bounty hunters is pitifully small.
"Shh, keep your voice down! I heard that those awakened ones are physically stronger than the genetic warriors. Be careful not to let him hear it!"
At the wine table, a middle-aged man quickly interrupted his companion's complaints.
"Tch, just listen. They invaded our planet and turned our home into this. My wife and children have also turned into monsters that are neither humans nor ghosts. I can't fight them. No! Anyway, I don’t want to live anymore!”
Some people couldn't help but raise their voices.
His companion hurriedly covered his mouth, looked at the man sitting in the middle with a panicked look, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other man didn't seem to have any reaction.
"Mel! You don't want your life!"
The middle-aged man gave him a sharp look.
"You don't want to live anymore. We haven't lived enough. If you want to die, don't drag us down! You should have seen what happened to the guys who came here to make trouble before!"
As soon as he said these words, the other people's expressions changed as if they had thought of something terrible, and then they fell silent collectively.
Even the person who complained the loudest at the beginning didn't dare to say anything more, but still lowered his head and muttered something softly.
"Look, the clothes he is wearing should be the Corona suit, right? I heard people say that this kind of clothes has strong light-blocking properties. As long as you put it on, you can leave this damn aphotic zone. I’m going on an adventure in the wild, and those red lights are useless even if they shine on me!”
"That seems to be the case. I've also heard about it, but now the Corona suit is originally a military material, and the city's reserves are limited. Coupled with this damn doomsday, the black market has already fetched a sky-high price. We can't even think about it. , I’m afraid I won’t be able to afford it in this life.”
"Tch, what do you want about the Corona suit? Even if I give you that thing on the ship, do you think you won't have to die after going out to the aphotic zone and reaching the wild? You know the mutant beasts there, right? The human-turned-Sava Ludo is so difficult to deal with, do you want to go against Savarudo transformed by those mutant beasts?"
A basin of cold water was poured down, making everyone feel a little downcast.
"Hey? Wait a minute! Look here!"
At this time, a person suddenly moved a small red book in his hand to the middle of the wine table, pointed to an area above and said:
"Look here! There are rewards for the Corona suit here! We only need... 60 points, and we can redeem it for a Corona suit!"
