A new day.

When he walked out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion in the Eighth City District, Meng Yang looked at the bright sky and felt a little dizzy.

"It should be night in another world at this time, right?"

Meng Yang sighed silently, from the casual conversations of some players, he probably already knew that the time of Despair City was roughly similar to the American time of Earth, and for many people in China, it happened to be day and night reversed.

This is a good thing for gamers. After all, many people need to work and go to school during the day, and it is better to have time at night.

Moreover, there is another very important key point in such a time difference between day and night, that is, after the consciousness is summoned into this world by him, the player's original body will fall into a relatively relaxed natural sleep state.

This is a state of separation of the "mind and body", similar to the out-of-body soul and consciousness projection, so it has not been troubled by the life and work of some players because of "staying up late to play games".

On the contrary, it allows old people such as Sun Dashou and Zhou Tong, who are old and sleep less, to get better rest in their bodies. Even some office workers who stay up late with anxiety have improved their spirits to a certain extent after this time.

"I'm also breaking up their time and really using 24 hours."

The corners of Meng Yang's mouth slightly pursed a smile, once he had dreamed that it would be perfect if people could not sleep, and now, he inadvertently realized it, but unfortunately, this beneficiary is not himself.

"It's getting closer and closer to the time when the demon tide erupts, and recently the people on the side of the guards have reported that some of the monsters found around them are in a state of excitement." Meng Yang stood in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the busy players in the square and the street outside, and thought silently in his heart.

"It's better to hurry up and start repairing the outer walls, and then have people carefully check whether there are still some powerful monsters lurking in the entire city of despair."

Meng Yang snorted in a low voice, and glanced back at the City Lord's Mansion behind him, he was now very confident in the talent and strength that the player had shown in the design and construction.

The City Lord's Mansion in the Eighth District is a building with some classical architectural characteristics of the earth, limited by resources and labor costs, and not too fine decoration, but thanks to the guidance of a player under Xu Zhe who is said to have a master's degree in architecture and many years of design experience, the City Lord's Mansion still looks very magnificent.

For the construction of the City Lord's Mansion, Meng Yang didn't have a plan at first, it's not that he really has a lot of high wind and brightness, and if he can have a more comfortable and comfortable environment, of course he will choose a better one.

The main reason is the Desperate City Construction Team, no, it should now be called the Desperate City Construction Department. Since the latest summoning, the overall number of players has been pushed to more than 10,000 people in one fell swoop, although the staffing of the Ministry of Construction has now expanded to nearly 1,000 people, and there are still a large number of ordinary players who will enter the construction team for short-term brick moving work, but after all, it is the responsibility of resting the outer city walls that are dozens of kilometers long and dozens of meters high, and building a city lord's mansion is not a top priority.

However, in the end, Meng Yang agreed to the Ministry of Construction's request to build the City Lord's Mansion, which was the recognition of the rule of the City Lord's Mansion by the aborigines of this world.

In a world with a strong sense of class, a strong regime is undoubtedly more able to give confidence to these natives who are in danger all the time, and to reflect the jurisdiction and rule of this city lord's mansion over the entire city of despair, there is no doubt that a mansion with some cards is needed.

Meng Yang occasionally privately speculated that in some ancient societies, the emperor or the capital carried out large-scale construction at every turn, whether it was also a sense of strengthening authority.

Of course, the current result is not bad, at least a large number of aborigines who have been reincorporated into the orderly rule of the City Lord's Mansion have completely accepted Meng Yang as the City Lord. At the same time, many people from other worlds in the Ministry of Construction, who were carrying out the construction, also gained a good impression on the aborigines.

"Now the first and second districts are left, and the twelve and twenty-third districts are left."

Standing at the door of the City Lord's Mansion, Meng Yang looked at the busy players and aborigines, and kept thinking about the focus of the next step in his heart.

Due to its proximity to the mountains to the east, some metal deposits have been discovered in the first city and the mines of the former Desperate City, among which the much-needed iron ore reserves are not low.

Now the Ministry of Industry has set up several bases there, and has built blast furnaces for ore smelting.

But in terms of security, it is not so guaranteed, and there are quite a few transcendent species wandering around the first and second urban districts. Meng Yang had already thrown some of the players who had awakened the transcendent first order over there and started cleaning up the monsters.

The other is the 12th and 13th districts, and strictly speaking, there is only one 12th district. Due to the backflow of the river, most of the thirteenth urban area has been flooded by the backflow of seawater, and it has become a flooded country.

But Meng Yang still didn't dare to relax his vigilance in these two urban areas, the pattern of the City of Despair was actually a city developed by relying on the city wall of despair, if the demon tide broke out, in addition to dealing with all kinds of monsters outside the city wall of despair, he also had to carefully defend both sides of the city.

In particular, several urban areas near the coast, according to the feedback of some players, in the thirteenth urban area, which has become a swamp, because of the abundance of water and grass, a large number of monsters have gathered there.

"It is imperative that in addition to repairing the walls of despair, we must also defend the surrounding urban districts."

During this time, Meng Yang probably also figured out the situation of the Despair City Wall, the Despair City Wall of the Thirteen Urban Districts, of which the Tenth City Wall was quite badly damaged, and the fifty or sixty-meter-high city wall collapsed almost a kilometer long, becoming the main area for the monster to drive straight into.

In addition, a section of the city wall in the seventh and fourth and fifth districts was extremely damaged, with openings ranging from tens of meters to hundreds of meters, which were caused by the previous six-legged insect monsters and some other large monsters after breaking through head-on.

Thankfully, the Fourth and Fifth districts were not as badly crumbling as they are now when the City of Despair fell, and the main areas were still concentrated in a few other districts. On the contrary, in the recent period, some large monsters have entered and the city walls have been destroyed.

Otherwise, according to the number of six-legged insect monsters in front and the destruction of the extraordinary third-order four-armed lizard people later, the remnant camp of the Eastern Continent in the third city city, even if it is quite powerful, it is impossible to support it until now.

"After repairing the city walls, I may have to consider whether to build the walls of the twelve and thirteen urban districts in the same way, otherwise it may not be easy to resist the sea creatures breaking through from this side."

Regarding these two city walls close to the coast, Meng Yang was still a little unsure of his thoughts.

The main reason for this is that although there are many monsters living in this area, most of them are herbivorous monsters, and they are also the pastures and various forage food sources for the current Desperate City monster mounts.

If these areas are excluded from the city wall plan, when the magic tide breaks out, it may affect the combat power of the monster cavalry in it.

The reason for including Qi is because the terrain is relatively muddy, even if you want to build fortifications on the edge of the coast, it is not so easy, and then the existence of some low-level monsters is likely to affect the safety of the ninth and tenth urban districts after the outbreak of the demon tide.

However, this is not impossible to solve, just design a fortification of the inner and outer cities. Moreover, Wenner's Animal Power Department is now expanding in the number of players below, and many natives are also helping out.

The entire animal power department can now be said to have developed extremely rapidly, among which people like Lu Xin and Ke Yuan have not only entered the transcendent second order in terms of personal strength, but also organized a large number of players to become monster cavalry, and the number of the entire monster cavalry has reached seven or eight hundred.

This force has limited impact on giant monsters above the transcendent third order, but it has considerable deterrent power against a large number of monsters below the transcendent second order.

Fighting as a cavalry at a critical moment will be able to do something that a magic locomotive can't.

After all, the resources consumed by monsters are enough to supply in several urban areas with abundant water and grass, but even if the magic crystal already has two magic crystal mines, this energy still needs to be controlled.

"Huh?"

Just as Meng Yang was thinking about how to deal with the outbreak of the demon tide in several urban districts next, suddenly in his mind, a reminder of summoning elves sounded.

Through the perspective of a player, Meng Yang saw the picture that came back from far away in the first city.

……

The location of the City of Despair is actually a peninsula in the Forgotten Lands.

To the west is the Endless Sea, and to the east is the vast Sand Sea.

The entire long strip of the City of Despair is a ribbon across this small peninsula, and the thirteen districts to the west are adjacent to the sea, because there is a huge freshwater river flowing into the sea on the side of the City of Despair, this section of the sea is basically a freshwater area, which greatly affects and improves the surrounding ecological environment.

The first city in the east of the city of despair is not directly connected to the vast sea of sand, but directly borders a mountain range that stretches for tens of thousands of miles.

This mountain range is called the Broken Life Mountain Range by the exiles of the Eastern Continent, which means that once you cross this mountain range, you will cut off the meaning of life and death.

The Broken Life Mountain Range is in a north-south direction, the mountain range is not wide, about a few tens of kilometers, but the north and south are extremely narrow, steep and towering, completely isolating the forgotten land from the vast sand sea, becoming two worlds.

It is precisely because of the appearance of this mountain range that the Forgotten Land in the west is full of water vapor and lush vegetation, and it has become a place where a large number of monsters and monsters live and gather. However, in the east, because there is no water vapor that can cross the mountains all year round, it forms precipitation, and over time it degenerates into the vast sandy sea and Gobi.

At this moment, it is in the Broken Life Mountain Range bordering the first urban area.

In a canyon with a width of about ten meters, Sun Shuai jumped onto a foothold rock on the narrow mountain wall, and looked at the team of people and horses that suddenly appeared in this canyon like a line of sky, and his eyes showed curiosity.

There were not many of them, about seventy or eighty people, and they all looked miserable, and it was obvious that they had gone through a long journey.

"Brother Sun, who do you think these are?"

Following Sun Shuai was Wang Liao, who was ossified all over his body and looked like a bone monitor lizard.

"I don't know."

Sun Shuai shook his head, "The people of the Eastern Continent of this canyon say that it leads to the vast desert, and their ancestors came along this canyon when they were exiled. ”

Today, Sun Shuai and Wang Liao came out to investigate the terrain and mineral deposits around the Broken Life Mountains, as the head of the Ministry of Industry, in the rapid development of the current situation, solving the problem of resources has always been the number one problem that plagues Sun Shuai.

"Brother Sun, are you saying that these people may be exiles from the Eastern Continent?" Wang Liao asked suspiciously.

"Maybe it's possible." Sun Shuai was a little unsure.

He's been in this world long enough to learn something from some players and Native survivors.

For example, most of the exiles from the Western Continent came here through huge ships through the Endless Sea. The exiles in the Eastern Continent are different, and the exiles in the Eastern Continent started from a steep pass called "Dragon City".

The people in Dragon City will prepare a certain amount of water and food for the exiles, and then drive the exiles out of the pass and into the vast desert, and if anyone returns, they will be killed.

The only way for exiles to survive is to go all the way west, through the vast desert, to the Broken Life Mountains, and then into this canyon of the Broken Life Mountains, to the Forgotten Lands.

Halfway through the exiles can flee in all directions, but tens of thousands of miles of vast desert can no longer be reached except for the City of Despair.

This way tens of thousands of miles of vast desert, halfway will encounter some monster infestation attacks in the desert of life, coupled with the harsh environment, basically most of the exiles died on the road, and there is only one in ten who can really reach the Forgotten Land.

As for the survivors of the Eastern Continent living in the City of Despair, it is also extremely difficult to return to the Eastern Continent.

First of all, you have to cross tens of thousands of miles of vast desert, and then you have to face the trench-like fortifications of Dragon City. When the City of Despair fell before, it was not that no one thought of escaping back to the Eastern Continent, but most of them either died in the desert or finally died under the moat outside Dragon City.

The team that appeared in front of Sun Shuai and the others in front of them looked at the team that seemed to be in a desperate situation, and it looked very similar to the people they knew who had been exiled here in the Eastern Continent.

"So what do we do next?" Wang Liao looked at the miserable people under the First Line of Heaven Canyon, and turned to Sun Shuai and asked again.

"Let's look at it for a while."

Sun Shuai said softly, "This place is too close to our mine to determine the origin of these people, and now the mine is at a critical time." ”

The first urban area continues to be the only iron ore mine on the Broken Life Mountains, and the development efforts have been expanded again.

Several blast furnaces for iron-making were built around the iron ore field, as well as a small industrial park. In Sun Shuai's plan, this will be the main direction of industrial development in the next industrial development of the city of despair.

After all, near the close to the resources, the little minerals stored in the original camp have long been exhausted in the development of one after another. If it weren't for the continuous expansion of the territory, the collection of various iron and metal resources from the original Desperate City, and the re-melting and smelting, projects such as the Magic Locomotive and the Magic Crystal Cannon would have been suspended long ago.

Although in Sun Shuai's heart, he felt that looking at the team of people in front of him who had little strength to walk would not cause much harm to his industrial sub-base, he knew that this world was a real different world, and all kinds of situations could happen.

Everything should be careful.

"Huh?"

Just when Sun Shuai and Wang Liao were standing on the mountain wall at the edge of the sky and observing these people, suddenly in the crowd below, someone seemed to see the two people standing on the mountain wall above, and they let out an exclamation.

The current appearance of the two of them is obviously the appearance of demons and monsters, and this appearance immediately made the people below who were already languishing cheer up again, and looked in the direction where the two of them were.
