“Ahhh~!”
Atton, who had just absorbed the death energy for an hour, was pressed on the energy emission column by Cheng Shaofeng, and 200 energy points were drawn out of him.
"Huh? It's still like this? Then you should inhale more..."
A total of 700 energy points were squeezed out of the old man today. A player only needs 500 experience points to go from level 1 to level 2, and another 800 experience points to level 3. Atton can contribute enough energy to reach level 3 in two days.
If he could practice more and squeeze more times every day... then the experience value should be higher.
"I didn't expect that you, an old man with a sneaky look, could be so useful."
Atun, who was weak again, said: "Although I am not a living person, you are really not a human being! I have been a necromancer all my life, and after death my soul awakened and became a necromancer. I didn't expect to fall into the hands of a kid like you... How pathetic!"
Cheng Shaofeng: "Don't pretend to be cool. From now on, you should focus on training... Oh, and create your own skills. I won't let you watch the shop. Here, you can get the death breath you want... every day. If you work hard for me, I will definitely give you freedom in the future. Atun, you don't want to die in such a mediocre way, do you?"
The old man Atun was stunned for a moment, then he snorted and sat among the corpses of the plunderers to practice.
"Let me make it clear first, I don't trust you, a cunning man! I just want to make myself stronger and get rid of your bondage as soon as possible!"
Cheng Shaofeng smiled indifferently.
You become stronger
Let's see who gets stronger faster!
I have so many players, and I can’t subdue a little necromancer like you
First coax him into practicing, and then save the experience points for the base.
With experience points, you can make players stronger!
Players can also find more crystal energy for themselves to take off safely.
...
In recent days, more and more players have flocked to Sishan.
Many human settlements were in a state of panic. Their hunters would often see some people fighting the marauders with cold weapons. They would be beaten to the point of spitting blood but would still talk and laugh as if nothing had happened. And the most terrifying thing was... these people could actually beat the marauders.
Even the top hunters in the Four Mountains would not take the initiative to provoke predators if they were not sure, unless their lives were threatened.
As a result, the predators have started to stick together when they go out recently!
At the same time, there are many competitors for hunting mutant creatures in the Four Mountains, especially fierce and cruel creatures like mutant hyenas. Hunters usually avoid them because they are agile and full of radiation and viruses. They will fight to the death when they see people and are easy to get injured.
As a result, the mutant hyena was chased and killed by the newcomers!
They kill whatever they see, causing many hunters to be busy all day without catching any prey.
Although the reduction of predators and mutant hyenas has greatly increased the safety of the people of the Four Mountains, it has also brought severe challenges to the income of the Four Mountains hunters.
By the way, this group of people also has a characteristic, they like to push the corpses of the pillagers around... It looks scary.
The hunters just looked at him from a distance and thought he was a character they couldn't afford to offend.
Today, Zhao Yan, the leader of a small settlement called Zhao Village in Sishan, suddenly had an epiphany.
"Since these people are so powerful... why can't we go and join them? They seem... very polite."
So, they sent out their own hunters to secretly follow several players and found the location of the Scourge base.
Then, visit the home.
Cheng Shaofeng looked at the few... refugees in front of him.
What he was wearing was really a bit shabby, not as good as a Predator leather jacket.
"So... all 53 of you in the colony want to come live with us on this mountain?"
Zhao Yan: "Yes, yes... Your subordinates are too powerful. We want to be attached to you. Just protect us from being invaded by predators and give us food, and we will obey your orders."
The raiders have been acting quite aggressively lately, previously they massacred over 20 people in a human settlement and captured over 60 people. They looked like they were ready to kill anyone, it was horrible, the people in their small settlements simply couldn't defend themselves against such an attack from the raiders.
Relying on the strong is the best choice.
He also heard from the captive person that these powerful humans should all come from the same place.
So, the smart Zhao Yan found this place.
If they are not accepted here, they will find a way to migrate to the vicinity of Yanjing Town.
You can't just wait to die outside.
Cheng Shaofeng looked at the man in front of him and began to think.
Do you want to accept 53 wasteland natives
Wu Jie saw Cheng Shaofeng thinking, and said to Zhao Yan: "Well, you sit here for a while, and we will discuss it..."
"Okay, please believe us, the Zhao family... We will definitely be your most loyal followers. Everyone in the four mountains knows that we, the people of Zhao Village, are the most trustworthy!"
Cheng Shaofeng nodded.
He did know the people of Zhao Village. They all had the surname Zhao and used to be a big family. They didn't know how they ended up in Sishan a few years ago. They found a place to settle down and were self-sufficient. They would occasionally come to Yanjing Town to buy things. Wang Qian and Wang Wan also mentioned this in casual conversation... The hunters in Zhao Village were more loyal and had never stabbed anyone in the back.
Cheng Shaofeng and Wu Jie came to the other side of the base and walked into Cheng Shaofeng's small house.
Wu Jie: "Brother Feng, what do you say? Do you want to take these people in? From what I understand... Zhao Village should have a few guns and a dozen young men who are pretty good at fighting."
Cheng Shaofeng: "If I bring them here... will there be any problems? I'm a little worried that they are not stable and will have some strange reactions with my soldiers..."
It’s hard to imagine what players would do every day if they knew that the people below were friendly forces.
Wu Jie spread his hands: "It depends on what you think. What kind of existence is this base you inherited? What path will it take in the future? Like Yanjing Town... or another Colossus City? Or is it the legendary stable and peaceful world before the war?"
Cheng Shaofeng blinked and thought about Wu Jie's question.
After a while, Cheng Shaofeng decided to let these people enter the shelter of the natural disaster base.
Because he thinks... the humans in this world are actually a force he can use. Due to the language barrier, it is difficult for players to perform some complex tasks. For example, if he plans to build a trade route to Colossus City, he must use the locals of the wasteland.
In addition... the player and he are from the same world, so perhaps the player can also make use of these wasteland natives.
Cheng Shaofeng didn't think too much about how to do it specifically, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with leaving these people... If it really doesn't work, he can just drive them away. With the players around, these 53 people can be dealt with in minutes.
So, Cheng Shaofeng walked over to Zhao Yan and said, "I've thought about it and feel that... humans should help humans. Predators are our common enemy. I'm willing to let you move to the bottom of our base. We'll be at the top of the mountain, and you'll be stationed... halfway up the mountain. If you encounter predators, you can run up to our base, okay?"
Zhao Yan was overjoyed: "That's great! You are such a generous and kind lord! We in Zhao Village are willing to rely on you for protection. We will move in tomorrow!"
Cheng Shaofeng: “Okay!”
Both parties reached an agreement.
The hill where the Scourge Base is located is only 200 meters above sea level and has a limited area, but it is more than enough for 53 people halfway up the mountain. They just need to cut down trees and clear a place to live.
On the top of the mountain, Grandpa Tian, Xiaoxiao and Xuezi chopped trees and dug stones when they had nothing to do. They even found time to smooth the ground with broken stones, making it look very neat. The usable area of the base was more than doubled.
It's a bit like occupying the mountain and becoming the king.
In addition, with the existence of the energy launch column, Cheng Shaofeng is not afraid that these people have bad intentions towards the base. Whoever thinks he is more powerful than the necromancer can come up and try. I will see if I can shoot you or not.
...
On the way back, Zhao Yan looked very strange.
He said to his two confidants, "Did you see the skeletons smashing the ore and burning the boiler on the mountain?"
“Yes.”
"Indeed there are... there are a lot of looters' bodies piled up there."
Zhao Yan's face darkened. "We... were we a little careless. Why is it a little scary now when I think about it? The skeletons working... Wow!"
"hiss!"
The three of them gasped belatedly.
...
While all the players are working hard to upgrade.
At this time, Agent Feng was still following the horseshoe prints, getting closer and closer to the Colossus City.
Today on the road, he used his keen intuition and the gun in his hand... to kill two scavengers with ill intentions, and got some supplies, as well as the coins with sculptures printed on them, the same ones he picked up in the sewer that day.
"So... this is some kind of universal currency?"
He looked at his watch and it was almost 6 o'clock in the evening.
He looked around, found a tall tree, climbed up, and then used the same trick to wrap himself with leaves.
Lying on the tree, I began to think about my direction.
Although he is only level 1, a rifle and a revolver allow him to reach a terrifying level of combat power, far beyond that of normal players.
"The two people I killed today... didn't give me any experience. It seems that the logic of this game doesn't encourage players to kill NPCs. But because it's an open world game, you may encounter various things. Being hunted by NPCs is more common. It feels like everyone who encounters me... wants to kill me, so the game doesn't prohibit players from killing NPCs."
"But killing people does not bring any benefits and may even cause trouble, so try to avoid conflicts with humans as much as possible."
"The food is almost gone... I have to find some food tomorrow, either by hunting or taking the money to find a human camp to buy some."
"If I die, it will be a huge loss. I have run for so long in vain... All my supplies are lost. So from now on, I have to abandon the concept that this is a game. I will pretend that I have traveled to this world and think about how to survive until I find something satisfactory and return to the base."
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
“Very good... The expert mode that can be completed in one life is hardcore enough. I like it.”
