Chapter 159: Stormland
As a person who pursues efficiency, Zhou Xing is very willing to spend money on flight speed.
Nearly three years ago, during the Horseshoe Valley incident, he had sent Yang Sheng, who was in the same group at that time, to make his own meteor talismans, so that they could quickly communicate the news.
After the incident, Zhou Xing purchased the jade talisman making technology of the meteor rune, as well as the spell model and formation model, so that he could make a reusable, semi-permanent meteor jade rune, as well as use the meteor rune array.
Although the effect is not as good as that of the system, it can be regarded as a common technique, otherwise it will cost a lot of money to cut meat with a knife for a long time, and he may not be willing to use it.
The Ark of Doom is engraved with a special meteor rune array, which can burst into acceleration and perform a sprint flight of up to six hours.
After using the drone to kill a wave of Taixu Bird, Zhou Xing ordered the Doom Ark to sprint and accelerate, getting rid of the monitoring of Taixu Palace in one fell swoop, and heading towards the southeast.
After flying for about two days and nights, near noon on the third day, the ark arrived at the Sea of Storms.
It's nicknamed 'Scars of the Sea', and many people know it.
According to legend, the bull ghosts and snake gods who swept this realm with the power of the Immortal Dao once killed the gods of the seven seas here.
Although the Aragami is dead, the monstrous hatred is still accumulating, and the combination of his natural and supernatural powers makes it rain all year round and thunderstorms are continuous, and the living are not allowed to enter.
It is rumored that only those high-level cultivators who are ready to cross the tribulation will come to experience the power of heaven and earth thunder.
Of course, this is really a legend.
The water demon that has been cultivated for tens of thousands of years, when it transforms, it may be possible to come here to feel the thunder, as for the Xuanmen high cultivation, it is to go to the Gangfeng layer to experience the power of the thunder, not to feel the taste of the thunder here.
As for the reason for the formation of this place, it is caused by the collapse of the cave.
The original historical line, more than a hundred years later, the spatial disturbance caused by the collapse of the cave sky finally subsided after tens of thousands of years of energy release, thus revealing the so-called Gu Immortal Island, triggering a good fight among the monks of the world.
And in the end, except for some strange flowers and plants with vintages, there are no immortal weapons and magic secrets found here.
Zhou Xing asked Xiaomeng for a place to settle the refugees.
Xiao Meng pointed here and said: Aren't you good at refining artifacts with the power of heaven and earth? The Ark of Doom just borrowed the power of the storm and thunder to become a treasure raft that could go to the sky and enter the sea, and it lived up to the name of 'Doom'.
So Zhou Xing krypton 30,000 longevity yuan, all of which were exchanged for the 'Heaven and Earth Treasure Talisman', and while crossing the thunder storm, he sacrificed the ark.
This is the first high-grade overall sacrifice after the ark was built.
The process of refining the magic weapon is simple, that is, it is constantly being struck by lightning and poured by torrential rain.
The blackened shell of the ship was scorched by lightning and fell under the heavy rain, and then split and fell again, and finally the large wood that formed the hull of the ship became one and maintained its vigorous vitality at the same time, which is called the 'lightning strike immortal wood'.
Thunder is the cardinal of heaven and earth, and the lightning strikes the immortal wood, which is equivalent to the life of heaven, and only those who become can be called strange treasures.
The refugees in the boat were also fortunate to see the power of heaven and earth outside, which was naturally deliberately arranged by Zhou Xing, just so that these people could be more in awe of him and facilitate their resettlement.
When the ark crosses the storm zone, it sees a land island that resembles the eye of the storm.
This land island was originally a large plain, but with the collapse of the cave and fragmented, the land sank part, and the rest also became scattered, not only there are thousands of kilometers of high-rise, 100 kilometers long fault cliffs, there are also floating islands, below is often a big lake abyss, some floating islands even waterfalls and springs, the scenery is magnificent and beautiful, very Avatar.
According to the information given by Xiaomeng, this land covers an area of 120,000 square kilometers, to be specific, it is equivalent to the sixteen states of Youyun in ancient China on the earth, with a pleasant climate, rich conventional products, and a population of nearly one million, which is naturally enough.
As early as on the way here, the establishment of the future village and town organizational structure has been in full swing.
In the face of an unfamiliar environment, people will instinctively huddle with acquaintances, so many natural villages and towns in the future will be based on the neighborhoods of the past.
In addition, it is not enough to simply hold together, if villages and towns want to gain a foothold and develop, they need practitioners from all walks of life, or form mutual complement cooperation between groups. For example, artisan households, farming villages, planting villages, textile villages, and fixed or mobile markets are a basic small society.
Zhou Xing, on the other hand, played the role of an information provider in the construction of the organization.
During the boarding of the refugees, he asked the puppets to collect basic information about the refugees, which was then processed by the system to become mathematically intuitive and easy to use.
In addition, the previous establishment of the refugee rescue team can actually be regarded as cultivating a group of executors who are accustomed to obeying orders.
In the process of rescue, they have won the trust of the refugees, and their stamina has played an information bridge, so that the village and town organizations can find the people in need in time, negotiate and discuss, and then implement the formation of village and town personnel.
Of course, Zhou Xing couldn't just leave it alone.
For one, a large number of wounded people need more time to recover.
Second, the newly established organization has not yet established sufficient credibility among refugees.
He decided to take a ride in the escort.
So, by drawing lots, according to different numbers, the delegates found the location of their villages and towns on the map prepared by Zhou Xing.
The Ark of Doom flew all the way, and delivered all the way, people and materials, including one to several task forces composed of twenty puppets, depending on the size of the group to be delivered.
The puppet team was not only the original village and town guards, but also the material managers, and auxiliary craftsmen, after all, the initial construction tasks were more heavy.
The task force mainly listens to the orders of the village and town management.
Of course, although these escrows are elected by the people, the prestige and prestige of the foundation does not mean that they are capable, and even if they are capable, they may not necessarily be able to carry out this kind of pioneering construction.
So Zhou Xing used Xiaomeng as a super AI, and Krypton hired him to open a clone and act as the chief administrator, which can be regarded as a safety rope for the refugees.
In addition, Xiao Meng's clone and the auxiliary system formed by the puppets also represent him, the savior immortal.
This is not only the power to calm people's hearts, but also the power to deter Xiaoxiao.
Don't look at all the refugees who have experienced the appraisal of merit and yin virtue before boarding the ship, after such a catastrophe, the loss of relatives abounds, and no one knows if there will be a great change in their hearts.
Zhou Xing also had the experience of losing a loved one, and knew that this pain of losing a loved one could not be delivered in a short period of time.
It is necessary to think about and experience the absence and regret of relatives who have been separated forever in the bits and pieces of life, so that they can truly feel the pain.
In addition, if you start struggling to survive again in a strange land, some people will be discouraged if you can't keep it, and you can't cross the threshold in your heart, and then turn black.
This is where the main point of 'escort for a ride' comes in.
He even had psychological preparation that this generation would be prolific and crazy, and in the coming years, the population would decrease instead of increasing, from more than 900,000 to more than 700,000, and then slowly recover.
But he doesn't plan to be a dad all the time, or something too emperor, he really just gives a ride and helps, and he still throws his hands off, and after completing the initial placement, he will immediately take care of it, at most in the first two or three years, to help raise some grain and straw, enrich some species or something.
For example, there is obviously not enough livestock, but there is a puppet team in terms of tools to assist in production and manufacturing, which is still expected to quickly alleviate demand.
Even if there is a rapid delivery capacity, it still took nearly four days to implement the resettlement work, and it was already ten days later when Zhou Xing returned to the East China Sea again.
For more than half of the people of the East China Sea (those rescued by Zhou Xing, as well as those in the outer areas that were not affected by the catastrophe or were slightly affected, and nine of the thirteen islands that have successfully opened the barrier to the waves), these 10 days have passed more than the major events of the past decade.
The theme has always been survival.
A quarter of them died within the first two days. In other words, when Zhou Xing saved the people of a city in Binh Duong, more than 15 million people had already died directly or indirectly in the disaster.
Even the system doesn't know how many mortals there are in the East China Sea, but it can give rough data, which is more than 120 million.
Half is 60 million, and a quarter is 15 million.
In the next six days, another fifteen million died.
Then the death toll plummeted, and about three million died in the next four days.
In Xiaomeng's words: "The death in the first two days mainly depends on luck."
If you are unlucky, no matter how strong your survival ability is, you can only cry out in vain if you are carried away by the shock wave of the Big Bang or the dead rain or transformed by the power of the shadows.
After six days, look at the comprehensive ability.
Those who are old and frail, those who are too young with poor resistance and lack of care for them, those who give up if their hearts are not up to the mark, and so on, have all been eliminated in these six days.
Four more days is a matter of fate.
Although the deadliest period has passed, life is not hard enough, and there is still a risk of death. ”
The remaining 27 million people are spread over 10 million square kilometres of land (including islands and surrounding seas), an average of two people per square kilometre.
Such a distribution ratio reminded Zhou Xing of Mongolia on Earth, where 45% of the population lives on the capital's 4,704 square kilometers of land, leaving more than one million square kilometers and more than one million people living there......
Zhou Xing stood on the bow of the black iron boat, looking at the world in front of him, and a sense of rustiness arose.
The whole world was a leaden gray, like a cumulonimbus cloud with moderate to heavy rain to fall.
In the high heavens, from time to time there were flashes of lightning, scarlet or poisonous green, which was the characteristic color of the thunder formed by the friction of the dark ash.
The earth is shrouded in haze, with the characteristics of a winter swamp, damp and cold, withered, rotting plant corpses can be seen everywhere, and most of them are still alive and long like the props in horror movies, as if they will be demonized at any time, and some of them are really demons, as if they have been cast the demon talisman of the Netherworld.
Demons are divided into internal demons and external demons. And in this turbid, dense and earth-like environment, there is no clear line between the two.
The catastrophe has created a large number of tragedies and bred enough negative soul power.
And these soul powers, due to the extraordinary characteristics of turbidity, have existed for a longer time, and even undergo abnormal changes, making it easier to give birth to spirits such as fierce ghosts and fierce spirits.
But more of it is absorbed by deformed animals, plants, and even living people and shell corpses, which is the netherworld monster that merges with inner and outer demons.
There is no doubt that in such an environment, mortals have completely fallen prey.
Xiaomeng pointed out that more than 80% of the 27 million people will be killed within a month. The main reason is that the environment is very unfriendly, and there is a lack of food and clean water.
Xiaomeng also pointed out that if you want to search and rescue, then it is limited to half a month, and after half a month, even if you can still save people, it is best not to mix with the previous search and rescue.
Because after half a month, there is basically no food, and those people are still alive, how to do it, it is not difficult to imagine......
Zhou Xing nodded, collected his heavy heart, and asked, "Is there a large-scale life detection and identification technology?" ”
"Don't ask stupid questions, just tell me what your budget is going to be affordable."
Xiao Meng said and said:
"Don't say I didn't remind you, counting the previous consumption of the 'Soul Silence Dao Talisman' and the 'Heavenly Eye Treasure Urn', and the Tianjiao Victory Event, your krypton life limit has exceeded 350,000.
This is already considered to be emotional, and playing with real fire.
After all, when you left the sect, you kept saying that there was a lack of large sums of money in the future, and you couldn't use it lavishly. ”
Zhou Xing sighed and sighed: "I know, but if this person is not saved, my thoughts are not clear, and I will become a demon in the future." ”
"Well, you can do it yourself. Anyway, thanks to God, the strategic purpose has been achieved, and it is nothing more than that he himself does not know. ”
"......" Zhou Xing was speechless.
Indeed, it seems that he can cope with the tricks when he sees the moves, but the hidden cost is also high.
Xie Tianci used the lives of mortals in the East China Sea as a weapon, and it was estimated that it would consume 400,000 yuan of his life, which was indeed successful.
After calming down his mood, he said: "My consumption limit this time is 50,000 yuan. ”
"Fifty thousand...... Well, let's use the talisman technique you've always preferred. You can load the drone with an exploration jade charm to search for the whereabouts of the survivors. ”
"Well, that's it! In addition, I would like to buy a treasure basket of the Fortune Boat. ”……
Soon after, the Tianxing Fortune Boat, which was worth 5,000 yuan and could only exist for nine days, appeared in the heavens and the earth.
Fortune boat, the bottom tip is wide, the head and tail are high, the main feature, big!
When Zhou Xing designed and built his own ark of doom, he referred to the pattern and technology of the Tianxing Fortune Boat to a certain extent.
If Zhou Xing's preference is used, it is naturally more in line with his mind to cross the Ark, but if it is in terms of comprehensive performance, the Tianxing Fortune Boat is still above the Ark.
Now the environment is even worse, and Zhou Xing is a little worried that the Ark of Doom has only been refined for a while, after all, his engineering puppet group is basically used to resettle refugees, and there is only a small team left on hand, which is not enough to give full play to the performance of the Ark.
As a temporary product of template fixation, although there are many details that he is not used to, Tianxing Fu Boat also has many advantages.
In terms of personnel collection and release, the Tianxing Fu Ship naturally does not have a box-type ejection pod and a recovery runway and a special Gnaku specially prepared for drones, but the use of 'Ruyi Rope' is barely usable.
Ruyi rope can be regarded as a low-profile general-purpose version of the bundle fairy rope, it is like a tentacle, whether it is a person or a thing, after winding to deliver, recycle, flexible and even juggling like multiple rope operations.
In terms of control, the lucky boat has a ship spirit, and the lucky boat is equivalent to the body of the ship spirit. He only needs to maintain good communication with the ship spirit, and he can control the entire big ship like an arm.
In terms of accommodation, there is no pigeon building pattern for millions of people, but the Chase shop system that can accommodate five or six hundred thousand people can still be built quickly.
"The last shortcoming is food, and I don't know if the sect can count on the ......" Zhou Xing ordered to the boat spirit, and the lucky boat went to the destination indicated in the rescue letter sent on the day of the rescue, drone + lucky boat, and the second round of disaster relief search and rescue began.
