The deserted island floats silently in the void.
The precise area of this land is approximately 18,722.11 square kilometers, 3/5 of which is surrounded by mountains, and the middle area is 2/5 of a semi-desert environment. Zhang Mu counted the assets left by the Green Alliance, including 5,000 robots, 1 second-generation magic engine mothership, 40 sub-ships, 20 battleships, 15 collection ships, and 15 reconnaissance ships. Although they are all special ships and use magic engines, they are very rare in the mainland, but outside the region, they can only be regarded as a backward generation of warships.
In addition, there were 5 large boxes of forage seeds, 500 blue-eyed rabbit embryos, and 500 golden-horned ox embryos. Forage was very cheap, so they gave a lot of it, enough to plant the entire desert island with forage. Pasture can not only be used as feed for low-level monsters, but can also condition the crystallized land so that better things can be planted in the future.
Spiritual beast grass is a lower-level mortal grass.
Both types of monsters are low-level monsters.
In addition, the Shenwu Great Sage left some construction materials to build basic buildings such as turrets and gravity towers.
When Zhang Mu was planning where to build the tower.
Suddenly, a shout came from a distance.
"King of Underworld!"
Zhang Mu turned around. Although it sounded far away, the other party was actually less than 20 meters away and he was still out of breath.
"what happened!"
This person first put on a breathing device and took several breaths in a row, and then he said out of breath: "We... we met a bug monster in the mountain, and two of us were killed!"
A soldier hurried towards Zhang Mu.
"monster?"
Zhang Mu felt a little surprised. The island was only less than 20,000 square kilometers in total. How could it breed monsters? At this time, the fleet of the Great Sage Shenwu launched, pulling out long tail flames and advancing towards the void in the distance.
"Damn it!" Zhang Mu muttered to himself, "Take me to see it."
The cave where the accident occurred has long been sealed off, and everyone including Leng Yun and Lin Caiyan surrounded the strange Zerg corpse. This guy is four meters long and has twenty pairs of legs. The first pair of legs is sickle-shaped and looks like a pair of deformed arms. It looks like a monster and some kind of intelligent race, which is very puzzling.
Under everyone's gaze, no data was displayed around the monster, let alone any introduction or explanation. The digitalization ability seemed to be less useful in the big world than in the small world. Zhang Mu checked the corpse and found that the monster was naked from head to toe and did not wear any equipment. This was inconsistent with intelligent races, because intelligent races usually equipped themselves with armor, weapons or other props.
"What could this be?"
Zhang Mu frowned, unable to determine what the creature was. Was it a remnant left behind by incomplete removal, or was it a Zerg that had been driven away and escaped back to live while the mainland coalition forces were not paying attention
When everyone was guessing, suddenly, a message echoed in their minds.
"Tip: There is a new mission triggered in [Big World], please check carefully!"
Task!
The connection between the Overlord and the human race has been interrupted for more than a year. Since leaving the Ice Field of Despair, the Overlord has not had any contact with the human race. Unexpectedly, at this juncture, the Overlord's reminder suddenly appeared!
Everyone received the mission information and did not rush to see it. They all looked at Zhang Mu with strange eyes.
Long Hao said with emotion: "Brother, you guessed it right! The destination of the human race is the big world! We did not receive the prompt from the master before, purely because we did not meet the requirements. This is like a game, only after the end of one plot, how can we You can get new tasks and new plots!”
Zhang Mu's personal information template is still valid. Zhang Mu found a new task released by the master.
——
[Task Name]: Clean up the island
[Task content]: Search the island, find the lurking Zerg and eliminate it. Current progress: 1/41411
[Task Nature]: Triggering task.
[Time limit]: 42 hours, 56 minutes and 33 seconds remaining [Success reward]: 10,000 realm coins and 300 phantom tree seeds.
[Failure Punishment]: The Zerg that are not eliminated will go berserk collectively!
——
Dominate the mission!
The master is really issuing tasks!
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to be happy or worried. What was happy was that the master was still paying attention to the human race. If this mysterious, supreme being issues tasks to humans and assists them secretly, humans will be fully capable of developing in the big world.
Everyone knows the Lord too well!
The master is harsh and cruel!
But there is a characteristic!
The Lord never designs a fatal situation. No matter how difficult the task is, there is always a solution. In other words, if the human race continues to follow the guidance of the master, it is expected to develop rapidly. Although it will encounter many dangerous challenges, at least it will have peace of mind.
As for the sadness, I probably feel that the human race is still not free from the control of the master. The master seems to have expected that the human race will come to the big world, foresees every step of the human race, and has control over the lifeblood of the human race at all times. Human beings are too small to compete with the omniscient and omnipotent master. They can only follow the master's guidance. I don't know how many challenges there will be in the future, and I don't know what the fate of the human race will be like in the end.
The fat man screamed, "Hey, how come there are more than 40,000 bugs hidden in a small broken island?"
Lei Ming said: "The master will not make mistakes. He will act according to the mission instructions."
Zhang Mu asked: "How strong is the monster?"
Evil Wing replied: "Not weaker than the strength of the Heavenly Spirit."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
"Our... 10 times the number!" Leng Yun felt a chill at her feet, "This island is simply a worm nest!"
Zhang Mu stood up and said: "Assemble the Eight Departments!"
All 216 strong men in Huangquan have arrived.
Zhang Mu began to give instructions: "Take 400 people from each unit and start searching the caves to find out where the bugs are hiding!" Zhang Mu sent 3,200 people to search for bugs, and the remaining 800 people made other arrangements, "You are responsible for protecting the mother. Ship, protect the robot!"
The eight tribes led three thousand Huangquan warriors to search from different areas. The area was 20,000 square kilometers, not too big, but the three-dimensional space was very huge. Because of the lack of human manpower, the search work was very difficult.
Zhang Mu looked at the calm deserted island, never expecting that there was a huge crisis hidden in it!
The human race has not adapted to the new world environment and does not have sufficiently sophisticated weapons and equipment. 40,000 bugs run rampant at the same time, and the consequences are disastrous. The human race has just settled in the big world, and the master has come so suddenly, which is really unbearable.
"40,000 of them, find them one by one and kill them one by one. The time involved..."
Zhang Mu made some calculations.
The characters are a bit difficult.
"Build the gravity tower first!"
Zhang Mu was personally responsible for protecting the robots. 5,000 robots lined up to move materials out of the spacecraft and began to build gravity towers on the ground. Thousands of robots work efficiently on the spacecraft. In just two hours, the gravity tower begins to take effect, affecting a radius of ten miles. The gravity is adjusted to a level that makes humans feel comfortable. Then, the robot began to build the air tower. Because the materials were all readily available, the whole process was very fast. A large amount of gas was ejected from the tower. Blocked by the gravity field, the air could not escape. The air pressure on the desert island would soon be adjusted to normal levels. .
Finally, construction of turrets and digging of farmland began.
The land on the desert island began to crystallize. The so-called crystal sandification actually means that the soil has not been used for a long time, and too much energy has been deposited in it. Eventually, the soil forms energy crystals, so it looks like crystal-like sand grains.
This kind of soil with excess energy is not ideal for planting. The best way is to dig out the crystallized soil, put it all into the factory, extract and smelt it, and then go through a series of treatments to get new soil again. This process is very troublesome. There is no relevant equipment on the island, so we can only plant grass first. As the grass grows, it can absorb the energy of the crystallized soil. After sowing more than ten times in a row, the soil will be greatly improved.
Pasture has very low soil requirements, grows extremely fast, and can feed monsters. It kills two birds with one stone. Zhang Mu directly chose a piece of land that was not too heavily crystallized, simply plowed it over, and sprinkled the pasture seeds. After only a quarter of an hour, some Young sprouts will appear, and in about 2 hours, the grass will fully sprout.
With such a growth rate, it can be harvested within 30 hours!
It’s truly an extraterrestrial land!
The gravity tower, gas tower, turret, and farmland are all being completed intensively. The human race's initial work seems to be going well. However, there was one thing that made Zhang Mu a little uneasy. There are 40,000 bugs buried in the ground beneath our feet. If they all go wild, the human race will definitely die.
Even without going berserk, hunting down 40,000 insect monsters is by no means an easy task.
The number of humans is too small.
Too many bugs.
Time was given too little.
About the past 12 hours, figures appeared from all directions, and Hachibu returned with the team.
Long Hao was the first one to come back, his expression was not very good, "We searched all over the insect mountain, but we didn't see a single living insect!"
"How can it be?"
Zhang Mu opened the mission prompt and found that there was not a single insect missing among the 40,000 insects. In other words, a team of several thousand people did not kill a single insect for 12 hours. It was impossible to hide a big thing that was several meters long. Thousands of humans had no shortage of elites who were good at reconnaissance and search. It took them half a day to find it, but not even a single bug was found!
Everyone is very tired.
Huang Tian said: "The bugs are probably hiding in the center of the earth. I can't find them even after searching the surface! We can't take this island. It's important to save our lives. Evacuate now!"
Another leader of the Eight Divisions also said: "Yes, 12 hours have passed. Even if we find the location of the bugs now, we can't kill them all. In the end, once the bugs rebel, the entire island will be destroyed. Let's retreat first and leave the island alone."
"let's go!"
"Everyone's life is more important!"
“…”
Zhang Mu frowned, searching blindly was not an option, so he said: "There is still time, don't give up until the final stage. Even if we evacuate now, we can only wander in the void. We don't know where the headquarters of mainland China's strength is. An insect rioted and drove us away. I am afraid that even the Great Sage Shenwu cannot be found, and we will be completely lost!"
Long Hao agreed with Zhang Mu's approach, "What do you think?"
"Everyone is very tired. Let's go back to the warship first and then discuss countermeasures."
Everyone went to the warship to rest.
Zhang Mu asked again: "You have searched every corner of Insect Mountain, but you haven't found a place where insects can be hidden?"
Lei Ming was very sure: "After searching everything, I'm sure the bug is not in the cave."
Zhang Mu crossed his fingers, closed his eyes and began to think. The mainland coalition forces captured the island ten years ago and installed a power device to float the island here from the distant insect world. The island has been searched inside and out. It is unlikely that any fish will slip through the net. Those insects will Where is it hidden
Time passed minute by minute.
One minute every night puts everyone in danger.
This number cannot be cleared in a short time. The human race simply does not have enough manpower. The more bugs are left in the end, the greater the disaster will be when they collectively go berserk. So far, it has been more than half a day, and not even a single bug has been found. This has already caused a serious impact!
Humanity cannot escape this trouble!
