Day 312.
You Qingwen bought several pieces of new equipment for the team members and took them out to level up.
Someone kept muttering, "Didn't our regiment reclaim a hundred pieces of farmland? Why do we have to go out and work hard? Is it not good to stay in the territory and retire comfortably?"
You Qingwen asked back, "With the style of the game in the past, will you be able to pass the level easily?"
The man froze for a moment, speechless.
"I always feel that the game won't end easily." You Qingwen's face was solemn, "Take advantage of the time now to level up and increase your physical strength, so that you can adapt to changes without change."
Zheng Mingyue nodded, "I think so too."
Since the head of the group and the deputy head of the group have said so, the members no longer object.
A soldier is wearing a fire feather cloak, a murloc belt around his waist, and boots on his feet. At this moment, he is full of energy and in high spirits. "As long as you can pass the level, this is a game! Let's play with your hands and feet, don't be restrained."
The female mage next to her muttered to herself, "I've never played a game to the point where I feel sick... The apocalypse has been done."
There was a hint of helplessness and despair in the words.
You Qingwen coughed lightly, "There are still two seasons of autumn and winter, everyone, stick to it. Think about the ice, think about the hot pot, and think about the happy fat house life."
The members were refreshed and felt greatly encouraged.
Seeing them cheering up, Zheng Mingyue chose a direction and strode away.
Speechless all the way.
For a full fifty minutes, except for the trees and grass, no crops were seen along the way.
You Qingwen said with a heavy heart, "No wonder everyone said that there was a serious shortage of food in the autumn of the third year. Before going out, I thought they were deliberately exaggerating."
After I came out, I found out that the facts were not exaggerated at all, and the situation was even more severe than what they described.
"I can't see the resource point, and the locusts are gone, where should I go next?" You Qingwen thought.
"Look over there!" There was a sudden exclamation from the team.
You Qingwen was slightly startled. Looking at the situation, I saw dense locusts surrounding the bushes. In the blink of an eye, the berries were eaten up.
"No wonder I couldn't find food, it turned out to be eaten by locusts!" The members scolded.
"Raise vigilance and prepare for battle." Zheng Mingyue said solemnly.
Locusts quickly notice the player's presence.
After eating all the scum from the bushes, they rushed towards the player in a swarm.
"It's just right." You Qingwen held up her staff, "Poisonous fog."
As soon as the voice fell, a large dark green poisonous mist appeared on the only way.
Poison Mist is an A-level skill, coupled with You Qingwen's first-class equipment, her attack power is super high. The locust fluttered in it for a few seconds, and immediately fell to the ground and died.
Five seconds later, the poisonous fog disappeared, and the locusts continued to charge forward.
You Qingwen glanced roughly and knew that there were at least two or three hundred.
"Meteor shower!"
"All arrows fired at once!"
"The field of polar ice."
Group attack skills are constantly thrown.
The soldier saw the opportunity, smiled, raised his shield and rushed into the locust swarm.
The fire was shining, and the locusts around them were damaged by fire spells and died one after another.
The warrior waved his shield and smashed away the mobs that threw himself at the equipment. After several attacks, the effect of the Murloc Belt is triggered. A wave emerges, attacking mobs, causing water spell damage to locusts.
After a few minutes, the fight was over.
The soldier looked at the skyrocketing experience and felt extremely relieved, "Cool!"
You Qingwen raised her eyes and asked, "How much has the durability of the equipment decreased?"
The soldier was stunned for a moment, and quickly checked. After seeing the numbers on the panel, his face turned pale, "The durability of the fire feather cloak is 63/70, the durability of the murloc belt is 66/70, and the durability of the boots is 68/70."
You know, the equipment was just bought yesterday, but it is brand new. Who would have guessed that there was a fight today, and the durability dropped...
"Sure enough, the locusts are extremely difficult to deal with and consume a lot of equipment." Zheng Mingyue had long expected.
He walked over to the dropped items and sorted them as he picked them up. "Copper coins, sweet potato seeds, rice seeds, white equipment... berries? Sorghum noodles?"
"How can killing locusts drop ingredients?!" Zheng Mingyue was inexplicably surprised.
Recalling the scene before the confrontation, You Qingwen guessed, "Could it be the crops that were eaten before? After killing the locusts, there is a certain chance that they will drop?"
"It's possible." Zheng Mingyue picked up all the dropped items and found that he harvested a total of 8 berries, 5 sorghum noodles, and 3 rice.
Although it's not much, it's an income.
"Let's go, continue to brush monsters and upgrade." Zheng Mingyue waved his hand, and the team set off again, heading for the distance.
**In addition to the Fire Feather Cloak, Murloc Belt, Boots, and Ice Banner, there are actually other items/equipment that can play a similar role.
for example--
[Name: Cold Iron Armor (Equipment)]
Quality: Rare
Durability: 70/70
Wearing effect: Stamina +10.
Special effect: Deals 3 points of ice spell damage to surrounding enemies every second.
The equipment is made of cold iron ore, and the output is not high.
Another example-
[Name: Black Iron Rod (equipment)]
Quality: Rare
Durability: 70/70
Wear effect: Strength +12.
Special effect: When attacking, there is a 30% chance to trigger the C-level group attack skill "Sweep".
The black iron rod is made of black iron ore, and the yield is lower.
Equipment is rare, materials are scarce, and it stands to reason that the finished product will not be too high. However, a variety of recipes and blueprints were put into battle, and the total amount of equipment/props produced in the end was not large.
In this way, the problem of the locust plague will be solved.
Yun Ling looked at the various products on the shelves of the system store, and felt a sense of pride.
Just then, several messages jumped out.
[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: Big boss, help in Jianghu! ! 】
[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: There is a shortage of life-skilled talents here, there are materials and no equipment, help! 】
Yun Ling replied calmly, "Old rules, you provide the materials, I will provide the skills, and the finished product will be divided into half."
[F City - Xintong Town - Zhao Xintong: No problem! 】
[F City - Xintong Town - Zhao Xintong: What materials do the bosses need? Just make a list for me. 】
Yun Ling: "Wait a minute."
She put together the required materials and sent them to the other party.
[F City - Xintong Town - Zhao Xintong: Received. 】
[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: I will check the inventory right away! 】
Yun Ling was about to close the panel, but the other party sent another message.
[F City - Xintong Town - Zhao Xintong: By the way, does Lingyun City have a water-type master? The one with the C-level "water polo" skill? 】
Yun Ling was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Xintong didn't say a word, and showed the attributes of the equipment.
【Name: Sapphire Ring (Equipment)】
Quality: Rare
Durability: 70/70
Wear effect: Intelligence +10.
Special effect: When attacking, there is a 40% chance to convert the C-level single attack skill "Water Polo" into the C-level group attack skill "Wave".
[F City - Xintong Town - Zhao Xintong: Sapphire and blueprints caught by fishing boats. 】
[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: Unfortunately, Xintong Town doesn’t have that many water-type NPC mages, so the equipment can’t be used. 】
[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: Let’s exchange if the boss needs it. 】
Yun Ling: "Change it."
"One for one, you can exchange any equipment."
"Lingyun City not only has water-type NPC mages, but also water-type players, so they won't be useless."
[F City - Xintong Town - Zhao Xintong: That's good, I'll arrange for people to do it. 】
Yunling said again, "My fishing boat has also caught sapphire, but I haven't drawn the blueprint. I'll give you the sapphire later, I'll give you the material, you give the technique, and the finished product is half and half."
[F City - Xintong Town - Zhao Xintong: ! ! ! 】
[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: Didn't the boss draw the drawings? 】
[F City - Xintong Town - Zhao Xintong: It doesn't matter! Having me here is equivalent to brushing the drawings! 】
[F City - Xintong Town - Zhao Xintong: What a good day today! Finally got a chance to take care of the big guy! 】
Looking at the messages, Yun Ling unconsciously revealed a smile.

field.
Lu Chuan strolled through the woods.
"Chacha." A strange sound came from a distance.
Lu Chuan turned around and found a large swarm of locusts coming towards him.
He calmly took out three ice flags from his brown leather backpack and planted them in the font of "pin" beside him.
Because the flag-planting locations are relatively close, the attack range overlaps.
Lu Chuan stood in the overlapping area, took out the burst arrow from the orange quiver, and shot calmly.
With a loud bang, more than twenty locusts fell.
The arrow was taken and shot again, and there was another loud noise, and more than twenty locusts died.
The third time he took out the burst arrow, the locust swarm had already flown in front of him and surrounded Lu Chuan.
When it was too late, then too fast, a white light flashed on the flag of the Frost Ice. The next second, there was a layer of frost on the locust, and it was obviously damaged by ice spells.
Some mobs take damage more than once. Before approaching the player, he fell to the ground after running out of blood.
Lu Chuan held the burst arrow and waited patiently for a while. When the HP drops significantly, he shoots special-effect arrows at the places with the most monsters.
In an instant, more than 30 locusts fell, and their blood volume rose sharply. At the same time, many locusts were injured by ice spells and fell to the ground silently.
The battle ended very quickly. A minute later, five or six hundred locusts were wiped out.
[Congratulations to the player for upgrading. 】
[You get 3 free attributes, which can be assigned at will. 】
The system prompts to jump out in time.
"Unfortunately, once the Frost Flag is planted, it cannot be taken out. Otherwise, walking with the Frost Flag and brushing monsters will definitely increase the level very quickly." Lu Chuan sighed secretly.
While thinking about it, he vaguely heard a strange "chacha" sound.
Stopping for a long look, only to find another wave of locusts attacked.
As soon as the battle was over, it was attacked again. For ordinary players, it is not only troublesome, but also very dangerous.
However, Lu Chuan was not surprised but delighted, "It's just right!"
After brushing the monsters twice, the props were finally not in vain.
**
Day 313.
Early in the morning, Yunling received news from players in other territories in S City.
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: Take a look at the materials on the list. 】
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: Fire Crow Feather*32, Ice Silkworm Ice Silk*26, Flame Lion Leather*6, Murloc Yarn*14, Cold Iron Ore*24, Mysterious Iron Ore*18. 】
Yun Ling checked them one by one and found that the number of items was correct, so he agreed to the transaction.
The exchange is complete.
【Linden Tree Town-He Rui: Your offer is really cruel... 】
[Lingden Town-He Rui: Ask for two materials, only give one piece of equipment, and the net profit is 100%. 】
Yunling: "Technology monopoly is just so awesome."
Yun Ling: "Buy and sell freely, never force it."
Yun Ling: "If it's too expensive, you can find someone else."
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: Besides you, where do I know other senior life players! 】
[Linden Tree Town - He Rui: Make good use of the materials and be sure to clear the customs. 】
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: I think I am contributing to all mankind. 】
Yun Ling laughed, "Okay."
The conversation here just ended, and someone else came to look for it over there.
[Osmanthus Town - Ding Wenxuan: The friendly army of Osmanthus Town can't hold it anymore! Ask for support, ask for support! 】
Yun Ling told him bluntly, "Don't save it, just die calmly."
【Osmanthus Town - Ding Wenxuan:… 】
Yun Ling: "The game is cleared, time goes back, and then I will be a hero again."
Yun Ling: "Since you can't hold it, then don't hold on."
[Osmanthus Town - Ding Wenxuan: You are cold, you are ruthless, you are unreasonable! 】
Yun Ling: "I want to prepare strategic materials for the team, the more the better. There are no items that can be taken out to help the rest of the players, none of them."
"Want simple bandages, high-quality bandages, recovery food, purple rare equipment? Yes, exchange the materials."
"There is no such thing as a free lunch."
Reach the clearance conditions, rewind time, and restore everything to before the game started. So what's the hesitation? Of course, it is to concentrate strength and strengthen the defense of Lingyun City.
Other players toss with them, anyway, no matter whether they are alive or dead, they will be fine after the game is over.
Therefore, Yun Ling refused simply and did not feel guilty at all.
[Osmanthus Town - Ding Wenxuan: Actually, I just roared twice. If you can get the materials, you will be deceived, and if you can't be deceived, you will be deceived. 】
[Osmanthus Town - Ding Wenxuan: You are so hard-hearted, it seems that there is no hope. 】
[Osmanthus Town - Ding Wenxuan: Forget it, the list will be sent to you, and we will trade normally. 】
Yun Ling, "…"
Until now, most of the surviving players have some special skills. For example, the one in front of him is particularly shameless.
**
Teams with high levels, strong strength, and well-funded teams go out as usual, while players with low levels and weak strength stay in the territory honestly.
They sowed seeds near Lingyun City, and then sent special personnel to guard them, hoping that the crops would be harvested and the food problem would be solved.
One day, two days, three days passed, and the seed grew vigorously without encountering any danger.
Members take turns resting, guarding, and fishing in the sea, barely making ends meet.
On the 316th day, the fifth day of the seed sowing, a swarm of locusts kept approaching the territory.
"Enemy attack!!" The player shouted loudly, while throwing skills for throwing skills and throwing arrows for arrows.
The territorial guards spotted the enemy and walked quickly to the battle site to help.
Some living players have average fighting skills, but have long-range skills, and they also follow skills and help output.
In the blink of an eye, the locusts were wiped out, and the dead couldn't die again.
The crop planting team was overjoyed and couldn't help thanking him, "Thank you, thank you for your help!"
A passer-by mage picked up the drops, with a look of thought in his eyes, "Lead the locusts to the vicinity of Lingyun City, let's hide in the territory and output, so it's very convenient to fight monsters! It's safe, you can pick up the drops, and Opportunity to harvest game material."
Hiding in the territory to put skills? They know the job well! The residents' eyes lit up and their minds moved.
**
In a corner of the territory, a team of twenty people is working hard to excavate.
[You are trying to reclaim farmland in Lingyun City xxx, xxx coordinates. 】
【Would you like to pay 300 copper coins for land ownership? 】
[Note: After the farmland is reclaimed, players can farm without paying taxes. 】
The head of the regiment clicked "Yes" without hesitation.
Then he turned around and solemnly promised, "The farmland will be purchased by everyone with funds raised, and it is considered as the team's shared property. It is currently in my name. When the crops are harvested in the future, I will ask Aunt Zhao to prepare three meals a day for everyone to eat together."
Hearing this, the members didn't care, "Everyone sees how the head of the regiment behaves on weekdays. Knowing that you can trust it, there is nothing to worry about!"
"Hey, just a game. As long as the advanced players survive, it doesn't matter if we die."
"They are all brothers who have experienced the test of life and death, and no one will doubt their own brothers if they doubt them."
"It is said that we will share the blessings and share the difficulties. We will either live until the end of the game, or we will starve to death together. Whoever sneaks is the dog!"
The members were laughing and giggling, not caring at all.
The head of the regiment was hot, "Then keep digging!"
"I have inquired about it. In previous years, on the harvest day in autumn, the crops could mature in 5 days. This year, on the disaster day, it will take 10 days to harvest a crop."
"Since it's not in good time, we can only buy more fields. At least 30 fields must be reclaimed to support the entire team."
The members responded, "Okay! Let's start working!"
**
Day 317.
[Lingyun City has 1,000 farmland. 】
[The farmland in the territory has reached the upper limit and cannot continue to be cultivated. 】
"The number of buildings of another type has reached the upper limit." Yun Ling was beaming and closed the news.
Ever since they learned that the doomsday natural disaster is just a game, the residents' mentality has been many times better than before. Equipment, props, items, and materials are no longer hoarded desperately. Occasionally, there are extras that will be taken out and sold at stalls.
On the other hand, when the summer is over, mountain streams and streams reappear outside the territory, and drinking water is no longer a problem.
Coupled with the brainstorming of everyone, sowing seeds outside the territory, attracting locusts to approach the territory, and then besieging, for a time, the residents' small life was quite nourishing. There is no need to worry about food and clothing, and there are new equipment replacements.
"Autumn is over, and there is only one last winter left."
Residents look forward to it day by day, and finally one day, winter is coming.
**
Day 341.
Last night, Yun Ling was full of expectations and had trouble falling asleep. The next day, just after eight o'clock in the morning, she woke up leisurely and couldn't wait to check the new reminder as soon as she opened her eyes.
[Congratulations to the players for successfully passing the third year of autumn. 】
[You get a customs clearance prompt. 】
[Keep the safe zone and eliminate all the mutant ants in the city, the game ends early. (Currently kills 0/10000)]
Yun Ling, "…"
Yun Ling, "???"
She was stunned, unable to return to her senses for a long time.
In the next second, a red dot appears on the map in the lower right corner, representing the enemy's trail.
At this time, the red dots are all over the S city, and the dispersion is quite balanced.
In a daze, the red dot moved slowly. Looking at the direction of their progress, it is clear that they are going to the four surviving territories of S City!
"Is the last season a showdown of species? If humans want to survive, they must eliminate mutant ants?" Yun Ling quickly calmed down and began to analyze.
However, before he had time to think about it, he was bombarded with news.
[F City - Xintong Town - Zhao Xintong: There is only one safe area left in Xintong Town in F City! All red dots on the map are moving towards the territory! 】
[F City - Xintong Town - Zhao Xintong: Day, what do you want to do with the game? 】
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: Are you awake? See the system prompt? 】
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: The nearest mutant ants have arrived in Linden Tree Town and are currently fighting with the territory guards. 】
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: According to observations, the mutant ants move very fast and attack very high, like the top assassin-type BOSS. 】
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: However, it has high defense and thick blood, making it extremely difficult to deal with. Territorial guards plus players, more than 30 people can barely suppress it. 】
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: The response of the mutant ants is too fast! Many attacks were dodged, and few were hit. 】
After the news was interrupted, He Rui seemed to join the battle, too busy to find time.
After about five minutes, the news of Linden Tree Town came again.
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: The mutant ants were killed and dropped nothing. Territorial personnel are unharmed, shield HP -700. 】
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: It's so difficult to deal with each other alone, what if we attack together. 】
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: By the way, how is Lingyun City? Can you keep it? ! 】
Clearance conditions - At the end of the third year, the number of surviving territories in any service area is ≥1, and the number of surviving players is ≥100.
When the clearance conditions are reached, time goes back in time, and everything is restored to before the game started.
So He Rui didn't care whether the players in Linden Tree Town were dead or alive, and whether the territory was breached. He only cared about the status quo of Lingyun City.
Lingyun City is here, and the customs clearance is expected, and everyone will be fine.
Lingyun City is broken, there is no hope of customs clearance, and all human beings must perish.
During the interruption of the news, Yun Ling got up quickly and walked to the border of the territory to check the situation.
On the map in the lower right corner, there are already red dots approaching Lingyun City.
Outside the territory, mutant ants are attacking the shield.
It wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes that Yun Ling understood what "moving speed is extremely fast".
The mutant ants pulled out the afterimage and wandered around the outside of the protective cover.
The archer tried to take aim, but as soon as the arrow was released, the target was no longer in place. In the end, they could only shoot indiscriminately with their eyes closed.
At this time, "Auto Tracking" began to show its power.
While the others were aiming with a sullen face, the archer Geng just had to keep his head down and shoot the arrows. After the arrow is fired, the system automatically pursues and hits almost 100%.
Yun Ling glanced at it and made a decisive decision, "Use group attack skills!"
Single attack is easy to dodge, but group attack skills are not so easy.
As soon as these words came out, all the NPCs immediately followed suit.
After a little hesitation, the player saw that the mutant ants were hit by countless skills and died on the spot—the NPC hired by Yunling not only had high attributes, good skills, but also very sophisticated equipment. These people are super powerful, even more powerful than the surviving players. Once let go to attack, of course the mutant ants can't escape.
When the battle is over, the panel displays, [Keep the safe zone and eliminate all the mutant ants in the city, the game ends early. (Currently kills 2/10000)]
As He Rui said, the mutant ants died and nothing fell.
Messages jumped out one after another, almost swiping the screen.
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: How is Lingyun City? Reply when available. 】
[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: What the hell! 10,000 BOSSes have come one after another to besiege Xintong Town, and this will definitely be the end! 】
[Osmanthus Town - Ding Wenxuan: I've seen a ghost! 】
[Osmanthus Town - Ding Wenxuan: I thought it would be Eternal Night + Ice Age in winter, but I didn't expect it to be warm winter + mutant ants raid. 】
[Osmanthus Town - Ding Wenxuan: As long as the force value is lower and the number of players is smaller, it can't stand it! 】
[Osmanthus Town - Ding Wenxuan: Every day! The dog game just wants the player to die! 】
[Osmanthus Town - Ding Wenxuan: Not much nonsense, we will try our best to delay the time and do everything we can to kill the ants. Lingyun City hold on! 】
Yun Ling replied to He Rui, "We are fighting. The longer other territories persist, the less pressure on Lingyun City."
Reply to Zhao Xintong, "The four safety zones in City S are also very tricky."
Replying to Ding Wenxuan, "Hold on, the longer the better."
Before the message could be answered, the new mutant ants arrived, and without saying a word, began to attack the territory shield.
