Apocalypse Lord

Chapter 56: a new Year

Views:

Back to the town, the fresh fish is sent to the restaurant, and the shrimp and crab are brought back to the stone house.

Spicy shrimp, boiled shrimp, steamed crab, stir-fried crab... A table full of various dishes.

Yunling features slits in the windows so that the fragrance can waft to the neighbors.

come! Hurt each other!

Take a bite of spicy prawns, which are rich in spicy flavor and firm in texture.

Have a bite of boiled shrimp, full of umami, sweet and tender.

Take another bite of the steamed crab, the crab meat is plump and delicious, and your lips and teeth will be fragrant after eating.

Yunling was enjoying his meal, and suddenly found the smell of spicy squid whiskers, charcoal grilled lamb chops, grilled gluten, and grilled pork belly coming from the stone house next door.

Yun Ling: It seems that someone has smelled the fragrance of shrimp and crab.

**

The power of the people is great. After staying in the territory for a few days, more delicacies were developed.

"Selling soju! Freshly brewed soju. One sip will make your body feel good, and your troubles will disappear!"

"Special soy sauce, 30 copper coins per bottle. Quantity is limited, while stocks last, come and buy if you want!"

"Lotus leaf rice, fragrant lotus leaf rice! A pack of 20 copper coins!"

That lotus leaf rice is made by wrapping glutinous rice, meat filling and beans in lotus leaf. The lotus leaves are green, and the rice grains are soft and fragrant, attracting passers-by to look back frequently.

Some people set up a small pot to put meat and boil lard.

The lard is packed into the crock and gradually condenses into a white solid. This oil is very fragrant, even if it is directly bibimbap, you can eat three bowls.

After the oil is boiled, there is still some oil residue left in the pot. It tastes fragrant and crispy, like a snack.

The people who boil the lard seem to be in good condition. After taking out the oil residue and putting it in a bowl, they sprinkle white sugar on it. Then pick up the oil residue with chopsticks and eat it with relish.

For a time, the aroma of the oil residue became more intense, and the saliva of others was drooling with envy.

Qiaoqiao and Granny Qian are life players and are not good at fighting. After deciding to kill the pig, the two of them specially invited someone to help.

The foreign helper picked up the knife and fell, and the domestic pig fell to the ground immediately, exploding the ingredients all over the place.

Qiaoqiao went in and out, busy moving materials back to the house. Grandma Qian picked three pieces of pork with skin and started to make braised pork.

Grandma Qian is an old craftsman who has been cooking for forty or fifty years.

Qiaoqiao is an almighty senior high school student. After tinkering with salt, he also tinkers with sugar and soy sauce.

The materials are complete, and mother-in-law Qian can naturally give full play to her skills.

"It's so fragrant." Zhang Fan and others who came to help Qiaoqiao were helping Qiaoqiao carry it, and when they smelled the meat, they couldn't move.

Extending his neck and looking around, he saw that the pork belly was fat and thin, and the color was red, which looked particularly attractive.

"Gudu."

"Gudu."

The team members secretly swallowed their saliva, pretended not to look sideways, but looked uncontrollably, and glanced straight into the pot.

"Can you be a bit more promising?" Zhang Fan's words were full of disgust.

Players: Then don't look at it!

Zhang Fan's brain: I think so too.

Zhang Fan's eyes: I don't allow it.

"Are you all busy? Come and eat." Granny Qian greeted.

As soon as the words fell, everyone rushed out and filled themselves with a bowl of rice. Drizzle with the braised broth, and then put the meat into the bowl to serve with rice, the taste is simply amazing!

Some people were so happy that they were about to cry, "Eating and drinking, it's like a Chinese New Year."

Not far away, the hawkers' shouts were intertwined, "Maltose! Fragrant maltose!"

"Delicious and beautiful candy man, only 5 copper coins!"

"Selling candied haws, delicious candied haws!"

In the corner, the carpenters and carpenters took the time to make some gadgets and gave them free toys for children.

Qiao Qiao walked out of the room and happened to have a panoramic view of the surrounding scene, and couldn't help but agree, "I also feel like a New Year's Eve."

[Player "Yang Xu" requested to add "Yang Zetao" as a friend. 】

The system displays, [The distance is too far, please try later. 】

"Is it still too far apart?" Yang Xu slowly exhaled.

From the very beginning of the game, he was lucky to find Lingyun Camp and meet reliable teammates. So far, the game has been smooth sailing, no worries about food and clothing. Now that the house has been bought, the only regret is that the family does not know where they are...

The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is to type in the names of my family members and try to contact them.

However, the answer of the dog than the system is always, [The distance is too far, please try later. 】

By the way, there was a different answer before. The request to add a friend was sent successfully, but a stranger with the same name and surname was added. After chatting for a few seconds, it was deleted.

"Hope they're all right." Yang Xu was worried and tried to enter the names of other relatives.

It stands to reason that the system will reply again, [The distance is too far, please try later. 】

Unexpectedly, after the input, the system replied, [Add friend request has been sent, waiting for the other party's reply. 】

[By request of the other party, both parties can send a message to talk. 】

Without waiting for Yang Xu to think about what to say, he hurriedly asked Convenience, "Is that Yang Yang?"

Yang Xu was shocked.

Yangyang is his nickname, only the family knows it. Could it be... Did you find it right this time? !

Yang Xu: "Yes."

Yang Xu: "Where are you? I'll find you."

Yang Xu: "Let's meet and talk."

The other party was obviously very excited and said incoherently, "Yangyang, I'm a mother! The territory I stayed in before was not very good. I changed seven or eight in a row, and I just arrived in Lingyun Town recently."

"Probably you can only add friends if you stay in the same territory."

"I'll be waiting for you by the guard priest A, come quickly."

Really connected!

Yang Xu was shivering with excitement, and his clothes could not be buttoned.

My heart was pounding and I couldn't calm down. He simply put on a scarf indiscriminately, twisted the buttons of his clothes, and then ran out of the wooden house.

**

First, someone was hired to dig a well and build a fountain, and then someone was hired to make a fishing boat. Wouldn't it look suspicious? Yun Ling kept muttering in his heart.

Enter the mission hall and see-

[Recruit girlfriend, 20 copper coins/day, provide dinner, interested parties can contact Deng Caijun. 】

[Hire a tailor to customize clothing as required. Those who are interested can contact Shen Yue. 】

[Recruit coolies, collect with the group, and gain five or five points. Those who are interested can contact Cai Yuntian. 】

[Hire workers to build villas, the price is negotiable, those who are interested can contact Jia Jin. 】

[Hire special talents to help dig the basement, the price is negotiable, those who are interested can contact Jia Jin. 】

What's suspicious? More weird guys than her.

White was worried.

Yun Ling felt relieved, looked calm, and released a new recruitment notice in the name of the player, [Hire will build fishing boats, 50 copper coins / day, for breakfast, lunch and dinner, if you are interested, you can contact Yun Ling. 】

**

Five days passed in a flash.

No one contacted her.

Yunling began to consider the feasibility of unlocking the dock again.

But it can't be rushed. Buildings cannot be upgraded to level 3 temporarily, territories cannot be upgraded to cities temporarily, and there are no extra building slots available.

While thinking about it, I found a new NPC.

Level: 5

Attributes: Strength 4, Agility 4, Stamina 8, Intelligence 10, Spirit 12.

Combat skills: A-level dispel, B-level treatment.

Life Skills: None.

Seeing that the level is quite high and the skills are suitable, Yunling clicks to hire easily.

"I would like to serve you, my lord." Pastor E was respectful.

"What's the use of dispersing?" Yun Ling asked.

"It can dispel negative conditions." Pastor Five replied, "A-level dispels can dispel most negative conditions."

"for example?"

"burning, poisoning, dizziness, heat stroke, cold..."

Can you catch a cold? Yun Ling was inexplicably surprised.

You know, the first reaction of residents when they get sick is to seek treatment from a priest. Who knows that after the treatment, the negative state is still there, and the mental state is still not good.

Only then did the residents give up their struggles, ate the food to ward off the cold, and honestly recuperated as required, and finally recovered their health.

So what does this guy say now? Priests can heal, but what they need is not "healing" skills, but "dispelling" skills

Yun Ling thought for a while, "You come with me."

She instructed an NPC to take off their winter clothes and go out. She was so cold that she came back when she was ill. Then she turned to look at Pastor E, "Take care."

"Dispel." Priest Wu casts the skill.

In the next second, the complexion of the sick NPC improved significantly, and the negative state was completely eliminated.

"It turns out that curing a disease is so simple..." Yun Ling was speechless, and at the same time somehow felt that it was a bit of a waste to use all the game materials that had been hoarded for a long time to make winter clothes.

**

Happy times are always short. After living in the house for 20 days, we finally ushered in the day of reopening.

Day 120.

Residents talked a lot, "Tomorrow is Safe Day, it's time to go out and do activities."

"Hey, I have enough food, enough firewood, and Mrs. Tang's stove is so warm, I can't bear to go out."

"The cat has been around for a winter, and everyone has become lazy. When it comes to Christmas Day, you have to do more work anyway, so that you can support your family."

In the expectation of everyone, the 121st day came quietly.

It's just that the text in the upper right corner is still, "121st day, winter, disaster day."

"Why is it still a disaster day?" The residents were shocked. "Is the game wrong? After 20 disaster days, it is clearly the turn of the day!"

One person asked quietly, "...Who told you that there will be a peaceful day after the 20-day disaster day?"

The person being questioned was taken aback and stammered, "Spring and summer are both 20 disaster days!"

The man sneered, "That doesn't prevent the 30 disaster days in winter."

All the residents were silent, unable to argue.

The game has never said that winter is 20 disaster days plus 10 safe days, and they arbitrarily speculate based on past experience.

Now I guess wrong... Naturally, I have to take the corresponding responsibility.

"I hoard food and firewood, but I hoard it according to 20 disaster days." A player said, his face turned green, "In another 10 days, how will I live?"

Some people whispered, "I knew that the winter disaster day would last more than 20 days, and I would not rest in the territory before."

"It's better now, eat all that can be eaten, use up all that can be used, and not even have a few copper coins left..."

"My friend went out as usual in the winter in the cold wind. He once reminded me that if the resources outside are no longer refreshed, the monsters will go to hibernate."

The more they talked, the more panicked they became, and their hearts were wowed.

When their eyes met, they didn't care about talking, and ran home one after another to put on cold protection equipment. When you are ready, take the time to explore and collect.

On the other hand, Pang Yu, who gritted his teeth and overcame many difficulties and insisted on going out in winter, has not only paid off his debts, but has also hoarded a lot of food and firewood at home, as well as a small sum of money in his hand.

"Without far-sightedness, there must be near-term worries." He was deeply concerned and could not rest. After saying hello to his wife, he went out with the group again.

"Why do I feel that I can't relax while playing this game?" The wife muttered while doing manual work, "If you relax a little bit, the advantages accumulated in the early stage will be lost..."

**

On the one hand, the residents of Lingyun Town are extremely unfortunate. The autumn was so comfortable that the grain reserves were abundant, and the first 20 days of winter were completely nested in the territory for the winter. When the food is exhausted, it is quite uncomfortable to go out in the cold wind.

On the other hand, the residents of Lingyun Town are extremely lucky. There is no shortage of winter clothes, no shortage of cold food, and you can go out at any time if you want to go out.

More importantly, because most of the residents live in the territory and the surrounding resources are abundant, they can be collected without leaving the territory too far.

Once you catch a cold or get sick, you can go home to recuperate and drink ginger soup to recover. If you are in a hurry, you can directly ask Priest V to dispel the negative state.

This winter has taken too many people away, and even dozens of system territories have been breached.

It is a blessing to be able to survive.

"I knew that the spicy chicken game is not so easy to let players pass the level." Yun Ling looked at the pile of game materials in the warehouse, and felt a sense of security.

She became more and more convinced that stockpiling was the right thing to do.

**

After the 121st day, the original collection team came over to ask, "Have you resumed work?"

"Can you re-employ and work with the regiment?"

"What kind of work clothes do you provide when you go out?"

Yun Ling replied one by one, "You can come back anytime you want. As usual, gather in advance, collect with the group, hand in the harvest, provide meals every day, and pay in copper coins. Only one cotton coat is provided for work clothes, and the rest will be taken care of by yourself."

"One cotton-padded coat is too little! You will get sick!" Someone couldn't help frowning.

Yun Ling said, "Then wear more clothes yourself."

She is kind enough to provide basic work clothes.

The man was silent, and a fierce struggle unfolded in his mind.

At this time, another player came over, "Boss, I'm here to tell you that I won't be collecting with the group in the future."

Yun Ling was slightly surprised and asked one more question, "What's wrong?"

It was a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl. At this moment, she was smiling, revealing pointed little tiger teeth. "Not long ago, I went out every day to collect and collect firewood, and made a small fortune. I will buy some equipment in the future and plan to do it myself."

"This is a good thing." Seeing that the other party was wearing four pieces of cold protection equipment, Yun Ling smiled with relief, "I wish you the best of luck."

"Thank you boss." The girl thanked her and left happily.

Seeing that someone was doing so well after leaving the team, the person who had been tangled before gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, "I'm not going to do it anymore!"

In the winter, I got a lot of high-quality NPCs, and the team is getting bigger and bigger. Yun Ling didn't care about losing a few players.

She casually sent blessings, "Good luck to you."

Go, stay, stay, plus those who didn't show up at all and lost contact for no reason, in the end there were only 14 people in the original collection team of 30 people.

Yun Ling glanced at him and waved his hand, "Let's go."

**

"It's spring, and it's going to rain again." Zhou Qi said solemnly at the team meeting.

"Taking advantage of the good weather recently, the combat team hurry up to fight monsters and get materials."

"Aunt Lin, Uncle Wu, and Grandpa Zheng are in charge of making rain gear, and try to make as many hats and hoods as possible. The more the better."

Zhou Qi ordered in an orderly manner and made arrangements one by one.

The deputy head of the delegation had a different opinion. "I think it is better to wait for the situation to become clear before taking action. Last year's rainy season does not mean that this year is also the rainy season."

What's more, the rain gear was still available last year, and there may not be too many people who need to buy or add new equipment.

"If you are preempted by others, it will be too late!" Zhou Qi was decisive, "Listen to me and do it like this."

The head of the head is so determined, the deputy head can't say anything else. He was as silent as a sculpture, not speaking again.

So it's settled.

**

For some, this winter has been extraordinarily long.

Fortunately, for the residents of Lingyun Town, although life is hard, it can go on anyway.

On the 131st day, winter finally ended. The temperature quickly warmed up, and the text in the upper right corner read, "Spring, disaster day."

In fact, the rain in spring is also annoying, but compared with winter, it is nothing.

Early in the morning, just as Yun Ling woke up, he received a system message.

[The xx village was breached. 】

[The xx village was breached. 】

[The town of xx was breached. 】

[Congratulations to the player for successfully spending the first year. 】

[You get a customs clearance prompt. 】

【Live until you can't live anymore. 】

"... The first year? Clearance tips?" Yun Ling felt ripples in his heart.

Does this mean that as long as you keep going long enough, the end of the apocalypse game will come to an end

"After 130 days of waiting, I finally heard good news."

Yun Ling lifted the quilt and prepared to get up to face a new challenge.

**

After the recruitment notice was issued, Yun Ling waited for more than ten days without waiting for a professional counterpart.

Only one person asked tentatively, "Do you mind that the proportion of the boat is slightly out of balance, and there is a slight possibility of capsize?"

Yun Ling, "…"

Yun Ling: "I don't mind."

The boat capsized, what about the people above! All the NPC elites were carefully selected and cultivated by her!

Take a step back, what if she is also on board when the boat capsizes! !

The other party was actually a little disappointed, "That's it."

Yun Ling thought to himself, fortunately that person was not in front of him. If you don't get angry, you might beat the other party.

This morning, Yun Ling took off his cold protection equipment and led the team out as usual.

After walking for seven or eight minutes, the ground trembled slightly, and there was a sound of running in the distance.

Yun Ling was startled and shouted loudly, "Go back to the territory!!"

The NPC resolutely executed the order and retreated without hesitation.

The players of the collection team are unknown, so they retreat first.

After a while, a large group of iron-backed rhinos appeared in everyone's sight. Look at the dense crowd, there are at least fifty or sixty.

The player's complexion changed, and without being urged by others, he used his milk-feeding energy to run to the territory.

As soon as Yun Ling and his party returned to Lingyun Town, they saw in the other direction that the guards in charge of the territory had already fought with a group of tauren.

"Spring is restless, monsters are besieging the city?" Yun Ling's mind turned quickly, "If it can't be defended, will the territory be breached?"

Thinking of this, her heart tightened and she reminded everyone, "Prepare to fight!"

I haven't seen a little monster in the winter, and the fighting players are thinking about it.

Now that the monster is taking the initiative to send it to the door, what is there to hesitate? Arrows, flames, frost, stones, and wind blades vented out, sending the most sincere greetings to the little monsters.

So Yun Ling was a little inattentive, and saw the residents shouting "Everyone is responsible for defending the camp", and then struggled to grab the blame.

Because the firepower is too fierce, melee players dare not step out of the territory, for fear of being accidentally injured.

Yun Ling, "…"

Okay, the territory is fine.

The monster fell to the ground, and the dropped items exploded on the ground. White light and blue light flicker alternately, which looks very charming.

Seeing that all the mobs were killed, the remote players were overjoyed and quickly walked out of the territory to pick up the spoils.

Someone picked it up and muttered, "The system has finally made a comeback. Knowing that after a winter, players are short of food and clothing, and have no money on hand. As soon as the spring begins, they hurriedly send monsters over to send meat, money and equipment."

After picking up the dropped items, the residents just returned to the territory when they saw a group of antelopes from the east and dozens of stone heads from the north, all rushing towards Lingyun Town.

"Another monster attacked the territory?" One person was stunned.

Some people are worried, "The frequency of attacks is so intensive that there is no way to go out and collect."

Yun Ling told his subordinates, "Control the rhythm, alternate long-range and short-range attacks, and don't let the mage use up the blue."

"Yes." The NPC responded solemnly.

As soon as the players communicated, the east side was quickly occupied by Yunling, the south side was in charge of Leng Bai and Mo Qi's team, the west side was watched by Zhou Qi and other teams, and the north side was handed over to the system guards and solo players.

Zhou Qi's heart throbbed when he thought of the rain gear that would be useless after making it. It happened that there was a tree demon in the distance, and he said with a cold face, "Kill me!"

Because it is a familiar team and has cooperated many times, everyone spontaneously divided the west into three areas, each fighting for each other.

Because each area is in charge of the same team, and the members are exempt from damage, the melee players finally dare to step out of the territory and fight monsters.

In an instant, players and mobs battled into a ball, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

**

South.

Several team captains looked bad, "You better remember what you said."

"There are so many monsters, a team can't eat it." Leng Bai calmly and calmly, with an indifferent expression, "Unite and occupy the south. Everyone takes turns hunting, each team guards for an hour, and rests for the rest of the time. This is good for everyone. it is good."

Of course, other team captains knew that doing so would be beneficial to them, otherwise they would not agree.

The warning at this time was just to remind Leng Bai not to play tricks.

Seeing that he was quite honest, he stopped talking. Everyone took the time to rest and waited for their turn.

**

East.

There are as many as fifty-eight NPCs in the army, and they cooperate with each other tacitly, and advance and retreat moderately.

It is worth mentioning that Yun Ling has consciously cultivated several super experts. A-level and S-level skills are mixed, and equipment is mixed with blue and purple equipment.

So these people hurt extremely high, and every time they made a shot, the monster would kill and injure a lot.

Seeing that the monsters are clearing so fast, there are single players who want to come and pick up the bargain.

Who knows that these people have no sense of cooperation at all, and when they see non-team members being attacked, they don't know how to help.

Not only that, the little monsters seemed to realize that he was easy to bully, and they came over to besiege him one after another.

The single player was in a hurry and had to return to the territory.

There are assassin players who want to grab monsters because of high damage, good equipment, and fast speed. However, as soon as he made his move, he was surrounded by NPCs. Those eyes are colder than looking at monsters.

The assassin shuddered, laughing more ugly than crying, "I, I'm just helping you out, not rushing to kill."

The NPC gave the man a gloomy look, but said nothing.

Assassin no longer dared to shoot, and ran to other areas in a flash.

After going back and forth, the east side was completely occupied by the NPC army, and others could no longer get involved.

Pang Yu watched the monsters come rushing in, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, "I can't get out of the territory, I can't collect it, how can I live in the future?"

Yun Ling sincerely suggested, "Let's be an archer instead. If you are in the territory, stand up for output, if you are lucky, you might be able to kill one or two mobs."

Pang Yu, "..."

It's so hard to live.
