Wang Chenglong was very depressed because the novel he wrote was once again on the market. Although he said he was living in the apocalypse, he still wrote an apocalyptic-themed novel. Although his collection was good, he actually didn't have many subscriptions.
Most of the reasons for this are that readers are reading pirated versions. Since the emergence of pirated novel websites on Doomsday Table, very few people are actually willing to spend money to read books on the genuine Doomsday Table novel website.
During this time, because I came to the Wolf Warrior Base, the novel stopped updating for two days, and immediately there were a lot less subscriptions and rewards. After his uncle Zhan Lang died, Wang Chenglong went to another base to defect.
He has written hundreds of thousands of words in this novel. If all readers follow his collection and read the original version, he can live a carefree life. But it is precisely because 90% or even 95% of readers choose to read pirated copies that his savings are getting less and less. If this continues, he will most likely have to give up writing and go into the wild. Hunting zombies.
It may be that his writing is not good, but whether his writing is good or not has nothing to do with whether he can see it and do it. This is just like eating in a restaurant. If the food is not delicious, people can not eat it, but no matter whether it is delicious or not, they have to spend money.
But reading novels is different. Many of his readers chose to read pirated versions, and then went to genuine websites to scold him for his poor writing.
This made Wang Chenglong very depressed. Even if the writing is not good, there are so many good-looking novels on the apocalypse list, so any one of them will not work. If the author's writing is good, you can reward it and vote for it, but if it's not good, he just wastes his time in cursing in the comment area, which makes Wang Chenglong very uncomfortable.
After putting down the doomsday watch, Wang Chenglong loaded the luggage on the bed into the doomsday watch's storage space, then went out to his car. Driving the car, Wang Chenglong drove towards the Beishan base.
Because his uncle Zhan Lang is dead, the Wolf Warrior Base is now leaderless, and Qing'an City has also declared war on Tianqi City at this time. If you continue to stay at the Wolf Warrior Base, your safety will not be guaranteed at all.
Tianlong Base is not allowed to go. This declaration of war is because Yang Tianlong of Tianlong Base offended Qing'an City. And if Qing'an City comes to have a war, the first thing that will bear the brunt is the attack on Tianlong Base. Now that a large number of people in Tianlong Base are fleeing, there is no one who is willing to take the initiative to defect.
The Tianqi base is the largest base in Tianqi City, and it must be the main target of the opponent. Wang Chenglong is an author, he is not stupid, and he can still analyze such basic situations.
Among the remaining four bases in Tianheng Mountain, Wang Chenglong chose Beishan Base as his target.
Because among the four major bases, Beishan Base has made the biggest move recently. After the reorganization and expansion of the wall, the area of Beishan base has almost doubled. And I heard that the Beishan base just changed its leader two months ago. When he first took office, the leader distributed a lot of weapons to the guards of the base.
Not only that, the guards at the Beishan base have a very high income. Compared with other bases, the salary is enviable. This illustrates a problem, that is, Lin Feng, the leader of Beishan Base, is very rich.
Comparing them with each other, Beishan Base is the safest. Even Wang Chenglong knows that no matter how strong the Beishan Base is, it cannot be a match for Qing'an City, but so far it is still a more suitable place to defect to.
Most of the wars between cities only target the base leadership, and have little impact on the people. Judging from the current situation, the area and living environment of Beishan Base are better than those of the other three bases.
Fortunately, the Tianlong Base is not very far from the Beishan Base, and the zombies on the roads have been basically eliminated in the last few years. Wang Chenglong drove his car and arrived at the gate of Beishan Base a few hours later.
Due to Qing'an City's declaration of war, the inspection procedures for entering the Beishan base are more complicated. But after an hour of queuing, Wang Chenglong still entered the base.
While entering the base, the guards at the base also handed Wang Chenglong a leaflet.
Parking the car on the side of the road, Wang Chenglong opened the flyer and read the text on it.
"Do you want to be a strong person? Do you want to be the envy of others? Do you want to have countless wealth? Please join the Beishan Base Practitioners Club... "
On the flyer was an advertisement that said it could make people strong. Although it is not written how to do it, the meaning is that as long as you join the cultivators club, you can become a strong man and get a lot of wealth.
Most importantly, it is written at the bottom of the leaflet that registration is not limited to practitioners or ordinary people.
This piece of information immediately attracted Wang Chenglong. He was a cultivator himself, but his level was too low. And if you want to follow what the flyer says, it can make people strong, which is what Wang Chenglong really wants.
Most of his current readers watch pirated copies, and the actual income they receive is not enough for him to live on. Now that there is such an opportunity, Wang Chenglong wants to give it a try.
According to the address on the flyer and through the map of the Doomsday Table, Wang Chenglong drove towards the registration office.
The registration office was an indoor gymnasium. When Wang Chenglong came outside the gymnasium, he saw countless people queuing up here with flyers. They always saw the contents on the flyers and wanted to become strong.
After getting off the car, Wang Chenglong also took a photo of the back of the team. An hour later, it was finally his turn.
There was only a table in front of him, with a pile of papers on it, and a guard-looking person behind the table.
"Fill out this form."
The guard looked up at Wang Chenglong, handed over a piece of paper, and said.
Wang Chenglong saw the result paper. There were only three sentences written on it, and then all the spaces behind it were empty.
"Are you willing to throw away your life at any time for Beishan Base? Are you willing to always obey the leadership of the leader of Beishan Base? Are you willing to carry out the leader's orders without hesitation?"
There are only these three sentences on the note. In addition, there is a place to fill in your name.
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Chenglong typed three pairs on it and signed his name.
Now Wang Chenglong has no relatives and friends, and his savings are getting less and less. Now he has no other ability and can only choose to seek refuge at Beishan Base.
As for these three options, they are nothing more than wanting to be loyal to Beishan Base. But if he could become stronger and gain a lot of wealth as the flyer said, then it wouldn't be a bad idea to be loyal to the Beishan base and its leader.
Most people in the apocalypse have taken refuge in bases, and they must obey their orders wherever they are at the base. In Wang Chenglong's view, this loyalty is normal. After all, if you follow what the flyer says, why should someone give you these things for free, and loyalty is the most basic.
"go in!"
Seeing the note handed over by Wang Chenglong, the guard pointed behind him and said.
Looking in the direction pointed by the guard, that was the entrance to the gymnasium.
Wang Chenglong saw that some people did not pass, but walked outside. It seems that not everyone wants to be loyal to Beishan Base, Wang Chenglong thought to himself.
It is okay to say that you are loyal to the base verbally, but what is written on the note is that you will lose your life for Beishan Base at any time. Statements are the most important thing for people in the apocalypse. No one wants to hang their head on someone else's belt.
Entering the gymnasium and passing through a passage, Wang Chenglong came to a large room.
There were more than ten people in the room, and judging from the energy fluctuations on their bodies, each one was much stronger than him.
Wang Chenglong carefully noticed that these people were holding an iron rod in their hands.
"The time limit is three minutes. If you can't stand it anymore, stop and you will be disqualified."
After the middle-aged man sitting on the chair at the front said something, ten people holding iron rods surrounded him.
not good!
Seeing this scene, Wang Chenglong thought to himself, this is obviously the rhythm of beating someone.
Bang bang bang!
Before Wang Chenglong could react, the iron rods of several people around him fell on him.
A strong sense of pain came from his body. These people were all practitioners with a higher level than him. When the other party exerted force, Wang Chenglong felt hot all over his body.
If you want to give up, you will only be able to stay at your current level. I don’t know how long it will take before I want to improve. Now that you have decided to come to Beishan Base to seek refuge, you must stick to it.
Enduring the intense pain in his body, Wang Chenglong secretly warned himself that he must persevere.
As time passed, Wang Chenglong kept trying to dodge everyone's attacks, but because there were too many people, the iron rods kept falling on Wang Chenglong.
I don’t know how much time passed, but finally Wang Chenglong’s eyes darkened and he fainted.
When he woke up, Wang Chenglong found himself lying on a wooden bed. When he sat up from the bed, he saw many people beside him, some of them were awake, and some of them had their eyes closed. But their conditions were all the same, with bruises on their noses and swollen faces.
Could it be said that they were all beaten with iron bars? Looking at these people, Wang Chenglong thought to himself.
After a quick look, there were nearly fifty people in this room. They vary in age, and most of them are already awake. I just didn't know where this was, so I sat on the bed and didn't dare to move.
"Come out and gather!"
At this time, a man walked in from the door, looked at everyone, and said loudly.
And as this Shinobi walked in, there were several other people. These people carried buckets in their hands, and came to the people who were still lying on the bed. They poured a ladle of cold water down, and those people also woke up faintly.
When he came outside, Wang Chenglong found that it was a hall with many people inside. He roughly counted about a thousand people.
At the front of the hall, there is a high platform with a row of seats on it. But now it's empty and no one is sitting on it.
After about ten minutes, people came out of their rooms one after another. Wang Chenglong saw that most of these people had bruises and swollen faces. They must have experienced group fights.
At this moment, all the lights in the hall turned on, and then a group of people walked out from the back and sat down in the seats in front of the stage.
Seeing someone sitting down on the high platform in front, everyone present stopped talking. They were just discussing the situation of being beaten before, but now they saw someone coming on stage, these people all shut their mouths.
"I am Lin Feng, the leader of Beishan Base."
A young man in the middle of the stage spoke first, and his voice spread into the hall through the speakers on both sides of the hall.
However, this young man's words suddenly made the scene lively.
No one expected that Lin Feng, the leader of Beishan Base, would come. Everyone has heard of the name Lin Feng, but few people have seen Lin Feng.
Now seeing the leader of the base sitting in front, how could these people not be excited.
"The purpose of distributing leaflets this time is to add some strength to the base. What I am telling you here is that everything written on the leaflets is true."
After a pause, Lin Feng continued.
Hearing Lin Feng personally say that everything in the flyer was true, the place suddenly burst into flames.
The leaflet says it can make people strong. People were skeptical at first, but the leaflets were sent out by guards at Beishan Base, so they couldn't be liars.
But now that they heard Lin Feng, the leader of Beishan Base, personally confirmed that the content on the flyer was true, these people suddenly became excited.
Everyone wants to be a strong person, and strength is the most important thing in the apocalypse. If they could become strong, they might be willing to do anything.
"But if you want to be a strong person, you must completely obey me. I don't want to see the situation where I get an advantage and don't want to deal with it."
Looking at the excited people below, Lin Feng said with a smile.
After listening to Lin Feng's words, Wang Chenglong below nodded secretly. What Lin Feng said is right, there is no such thing as pie in the sky. When you get something, you will have to pay accordingly. No one will give benefits to others in vain, unless they are fools.
But what Wang Chenglong still doesn't understand is how Lin Feng can make people stronger. In this apocalyptic world, everyone hopes to become stronger, but this is indeed extremely difficult. Moreover, the cultivators themselves are destined, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to become strong.
"I think everyone is doubting how to become a strong man. But I promise here, I swear in the name of the leader of Beishan Base, as long as you can swear allegiance to me and Beishan Base, my promise is that I will never Breaking a promise.”
After scanning the crowd below, Lin Feng continued.
"But just swearing this is not enough. Everyone knows that this is not binding at all. But I have a way to prove who really wants to gain great strength."
Lin Feng took out something from the Doomsday Table and continued.
"This is a bottle of poison, and the antidote needs to be taken regularly. If anyone wants to gain powerful abilities, drink it. I promise that I will never break my promise."
After saying that, Lin Feng looked at everyone in the audience.
