As night fell, taking advantage of the little afterglow, Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng led the team back.
According to the map provided by the system, they traveled throughout the territory and roughly figured out where each area was.
It must be said that after walking through, they were obviously more familiar with the environment around the territory.
I also kind of understand why Bayer asked them to go through it again.
As soon as they arrived at the territory, they noticed the difference in the territory today.
There was a group of soldiers, about 10 people, standing at the door and on the city wall, obviously on guard duty.
Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng instantly understood that these were 20 newly recruited soldiers for the territory. Are they being used right after they were recruited?
This resolute speed made both of them think of Bayer.
Among them, Zhou Zhengping and the others also saw many familiar faces, all of whom were actively hunting in the territory these days. It was not surprising that they could become new soldiers.
There are a few of them, they obviously just came to the territory today.
Among them is Cao Jingshan.
Seeing that their attention was on him, Cao Jingshan said: "When I saw that soldiers were being recruited, I signed up and gave it a try. Unexpectedly, I was recruited."
"This is your own ability. Work hard from now on and make our territory better together." Li Xingteng quickly encouraged.
"Well, it's very good here." Cao Jingshan said seriously.
Not only because the people of Hope Village will rescue them and punish the bad guys, but also because Hope Village gives these people hope.
"After the territory released a recruitment advertisement in the afternoon, many low-level people went to build roads. One of them lost his arm. He just wanted to give it a try. As a result, he was selected because of his strength. His entire My energy and spirit are all different.”
"There are also several women who have lost their families. They are all assigned to the canteen. Those with cooking skills can be chefs, while those without skills are responsible for managing the sanitation of the kitchen. They all have corresponding wages. At least in the territory, they can rely on Survive on your own.”
"And you, the first batch of residents, are also willing to take us out for hunting and gathering. Everyone is saying that after the rainy day is over, we can go out in groups. Those with lower levels closer to the territory can also Go collect.”
"Weapons and equipment are all available here, and the prices are very low."
"..."
Cao Jingshan recounted everything he saw in Hope Village this afternoon, "These may seem ordinary to you, but in the territory we were in before, everyone had a difficult life. You are really lucky. , you can encounter such a territory from the beginning.”
He doesn't care if there is a lord in this territory now.
He only knew that this territory was worth fighting for.
So, he stood here.
Most of the people who came today have the same idea as him. After experiencing hardship, they will know how to cherish it.
Everyone listened with an inexplicable emotion in their hearts.
After they entered Hope Village, it was quite difficult along the way. Now they realize that there are others more difficult than them. Suddenly they feel that they are quite lucky.
Seeing the changing expressions of everyone, Cao Jingshan said quickly: "I'm sorry, I'm verbose, but when I saw you, I thought of that experience during the day. At that time, I didn't think of this place as a place where I could live for a long time. I didn't expect that it would change in an instant. ”
"It's okay." Li Xingteng and his party shook their heads. They were also very happy to see the new survivors integrating into their territory so quickly, adding new strength to the territory.
"I won't disturb you anymore, just go in quickly! Mr. Bayer is waiting for you!" Cao Jingshan quickly reminded.
"Um."
Without saying anything more, the group continued into the territory.
As soon as they entered the territory, they saw several conspicuous stone paths on the originally vast lawn. The end of each stone path was connected to each building. When they stepped on it, they also felt a sense of solidity. .
The heavy rain is still falling, and it is no longer silent, but there is a ticking sound when it collides with the stones, which gives a special sense of healing.
There was also a canteen not far away. Even though they were standing far away, they noticed that it was really lively there, and people were still moving towards it.
"Hurry up, if you go late, you won't be able to eat fried pork!"
"I can't eat stir-fried pork or anything else. Anyway, it's just a slightly normal meal."
"Your requirements are really low."
"I eat tasteless barbecue and soup every day, what else can you ask for?"
"We really have no shortage of ingredients, but what we lack is seasonings."
"Hey, there are more and more people now, and there will be more and more things."
"I heard that they will be served in different styles tomorrow."
"..."
Watching and listening, there is a sense of happiness like fireworks in the world. The dozens of people who joined today have made the territory more popular.
At this moment, Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng truly realized that the territory had really changed unknowingly.
However, it gets better!
Everyone has gradually abandoned the past and begun to integrate into the new life of the doomsday game world.
Afterwards, Bayer and others were quickly spotted among the lively crowd.
After all, it was dinner time, and everyone put down what they were doing. Those who went home went home, and those who went to the cafeteria went to the cafeteria. Compared with the leisure of others, Yu Ziming and his party, who continued to pave the stone road, stood out.
Especially these people, who were looking longingly at the canteen, but still did not dare to stop the movements in their hands.
"Are they so good?" Li Xingteng felt a little incredible.
"Maybe Mr. Bayer is too powerful." Zhou Zhengping pointed out the core at a glance.
He was right too.
After getting tired from work in the afternoon, Yu Ziming thought about running away when Bayer was alone, but in the end, he beat dozens of them one by one and cleaned them up to pieces.
Bayer is like a big devil in their eyes, and they don't dare to act rashly.
Bayer, who was monitoring them, also noticed the return of Li Xingteng and the others. After they approached, he asked directly: "You are back? How are things going?"
"We all took note of it, and we also discussed the road to be built on the way..." Li Xingteng reported quickly and actively. From the short time they got together with each other, and the slight changes in the territory, they knew that this was a man who acted vigorously and resolutely. Naturally, I don’t dare to delay.
Bayer opened the map of the territory and listened to their words. He had already mapped the locations in his mind, and then made some comments on their route, "This section of your route is too close to the rocky forest and the road is too flat, which is not conducive to concealment." , take a detour.”
"Then we will be close to the Cloud Forest. There are more monsters there and they appear frequently."
"The ones operating on the periphery are only low-level monsters. It is really an opportunity for residents to exercise. Although the road is built for transportation convenience, the wartime status must also be considered." Bayer reminded.
When Bayer said this, the two people immediately remembered the territorial war, nodded quickly, and revised the plan.
Just like this, I revised and modified along the way, and a new road was planned.
After making the decision, Bayer looked at Yu Ziming and his party, "You can go back to prison."
Yu Ziming: "We can do it for a while longer."
"The experience points you have gained in building roads are enough for you to lose in prison. Get some rest early, you still have tasks tomorrow." Bayer said expressionlessly.
It was also at this time that Yu Ziming and others noticed that their experience points had actually increased a lot.
When they looked at Bayer, their eyes changed instantly. They were really being pinched.
Then he left obediently.
After sending them away, Bayer looked at the two men and continued, "The territory has recruited 20 new soldiers, who were selected by me personally. I transferred them all to archers, and they are under my control for the time being. As for you, take over When you come down to the military camp, I will also give you specific training. Starting tomorrow, you will listen to me, are there any questions?"
"No."
"Then you can go back and have a good rest today. There is no need for you to keep vigil. Come and report to me tomorrow morning."
"yes."
After saying that, Bayer left.
Afterwards, Li Xingteng looked at the group of people behind him and said directly: "Since you can rest tonight, you can move around freely!"
"Okay." A group of people listened and immediately cheered and ran to the canteen.
Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng were the only ones left walking slowly on the stone road.
"The changes in the territory every day are visible to the naked eye." Li Xingteng looked around and sighed involuntarily. At this time, his heart was filled with joy. Seeing him growing up, he felt really different.
"Yes! I still remember how shabby it looked on the first day I came here." Zhou Zhengping couldn't help but smile as he thought about his shock when he saw the territory being built.
"I still remember it. Thinking about it now, there are only a few days until the end of the game, but looking back, it seems like a long, long time."
"It's because he has experienced too many things." Zhou Zhengping looked back on the past few days and found that it was really difficult. Fortunately, he has now survived the most difficult initial period.
"But it's all over. What we have to focus on is the future." Li Xingteng continued.
Facing this unknown world, their next journey will be difficult, and they still need to work hard to improve their strength.
"Yeah." Zhou Zhengping nodded.
"The territory is still very knowledgeable, and the number of soldiers has been expanded again! There is also an additional commander-in-chief of the military camp. Under his leadership, it will definitely get better and better," Li Xingteng couldn't help but say while thinking about Bayer. , "But one thing, I suddenly have a question, do you think the system or... the lord controls the territory and NPCs?"
Zhou Zhengping's heart skipped a beat as he listened, "Why do you ask that?"
"As far as we know, people from other territories have lords in their territories, and the NPC Diana also said so." Li Xingteng responded, "I always feel that this territory should have a lord."
"But when our family of three came here, the territory already existed, and no one has come forward so far. You don't think it's one of us, do you?" Zhou Zhengping calmly brought the family of three in.
Li Xingteng listened and said directly: "I believe you are not. I was just wondering, if so, who could it be?"
Zhou Zhengping listened and paused, "Now that you know it, do you have any other ideas?"
Li Xingteng shook his head, "No, I have no idea. I had it before, but in the past few days, I found that if there is really a lord controlling the situation, then I will definitely not be able to compare with him. At least I can't do what he does." Well, I’m just suddenly grateful.”
"In this case, why bother guessing who the lord is?" Zhou Zhengping said directly.
Li Xingteng smiled and touched Zhou Zhengping's shoulder, "Well, I don't want to think about it anymore. We just need to follow the rhythm of the territory. I have a hunch that our territory will be very strong."
"What's the point of being strong? It would be great if I could have a chance to develop well. I'm just afraid of being remembered by others."
"Since territorial war is unavoidable, if they dare to come, they will fight one by one or a pair of pairs. We are united as one." Li Xingteng said confidently.
Zhou Zhengping chuckled, "Yes!"
The territory has developed to this point, and after gathering all the current information, he is still somewhat confident.
At this time, the two people chatting did not know that there was a lord who was browsing the challengeable territories with a casual look. In his opinion, those who were ranked behind him were all weaklings, let alone those who were so far behind.
Just thinking that he could gain resources from the opponent's territory after the challenge, he didn't choose too far back.
Finally, my eyes focused on the word "hope".
Hope, ha! See how he turns it into despair.
