Chapter Twenty-Six: The Building of the City
As night fell, the people began to enter the depths of the swamp.
Su Yan held a torch and followed closely behind the elite players of the Fifth Legion, lest he fall behind, and at the same time, he couldn't help but miss his professional ability as a dark Daoist.
The monsters here began to be dominated by zombies and skeletons, obviously much stronger, Su Yan had used insight to check those zombies, the level reached level 20, and the attack power was as high as about 30 points, although the movement was slow, but in this dark swamp, it was easy to launch a surprise attack from the mud, far more threatening than the zombies in those mines.
It is said that many players have been killed in this swamp due to zombie attacks, and even the elite players who have opened the way ahead have also suffered casualties, which has caused many low-level players to start to retreat, especially a large number of life professional players who are not capable of fighting.
However, now that he is in the depths of the swamp, he must pass through a swamp for dozens of miles alone to leave the large army and return to the city, although the monsters along the way have been cleaned up, but who can guarantee that there are no zombies hidden in the mud and puddles, the only thing to do is to follow the elite players in front of him to move deeper into the swamp.
Of course, these troubles are only for low-level players, such as the beauty manager, a strong person after learning that the company has prepared a carriage to Beiyuan City, and then went back to the city alone, with her more than 60 level attributes, it is naturally very easy to deal with these 20-level zombies.
As for Vice President Xu, who had never fought monsters alone, he had already used the excuse of discussing cooperation with the leaders of the Fifth Legion and directly blended into the elite team of the Fifth Legion, and it was the safest among that group of masters.
"Hey, Xiao Su, how much experience have you mixed up today?"
Someone next to him suddenly patted Su Yan on the shoulder, which made Su Yan, who had been in a nervous state, startled, and looked back, but it was an old acquaintance...... The fat man supervisor who brought himself into this game.
"Director, you're there too?" Although the fat man has now resigned to concentrate on the game, Su Yan is still used to calling him the fat man supervisor.
"Of course, how can you not participate in this kind of great time for leveling, today's day of playing is almost enough for me to be promoted to a small half level."
Su Yan quietly used the insight technique on him, and found that this guy was already level 12, remembering that he was a level 10 boxer in the mine at that time, and it took a lot of experience to go from level 10 to 12, obviously he has been practicing frantically recently.
And the equipment on this fat man's body seems to be good, not only wearing a compact set of light armor, but also the fist gloves in his hand are also made of black iron, although it is not a superlative, but it is far better than his own bronze sword, it is estimated that this fat man has made a lot of benefits when he was in the mine.
"I'm so bad at this weapon, I've only got a few thousand experiences." Su Yan shook the bronze sword in his hand that was already stained with mud with some frustration.
"Take your time, the things in this game are so expensive that you don't dare to go out and say hello to people without a net worth of hundreds of millions." The fat man said a little self-deprecatingly, and at the same time handed over a small porcelain vase, and said, "These are a few small pills, which can save a life at a critical moment." ”
Su Yan couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart, although this fat man was a little black-bellied, he was not bad at his employees.
However, he lacked everything at this time, that is, he was not short of medicines, and all kinds of pills in that ring space were calculated by pounds and pounds.
"Stop moving forward and set up camp!" Suddenly an order came from ahead.
Su Yan couldn't help but be stunned: "Why don't you fight?" ”
"Maybe some people are going to quit the game and go to rest and eat." The fat man looked around with a torch, and took the lead in picking a cleaner place to sit down.
Su Yan then remembered that many people did not use the nutritional game pod like himself, and after fighting for a day in a row, it was estimated that they could no longer support it.
"Would you like to eat some of the souvenirs of this swamp?" The fat man smiled and threw out a snake more than two meters long from his bag, which should be a trophy on the road.
In this extremely realistic game, players also need food, but the price of food is not too expensive.
Su Yan also sat down next to the fat man, and couldn't help but be stunned when he watched the fat man skillfully take out salt, grease and other seasonings from the bag.
"The ingredients in this game are far more than in reality, and it is definitely a foodie's paradise, so I also have a profession in the game as a cook." The fat man smiled and skillfully cleaned up the dead snake, and quickly set up a simple barbecue stand.
Sure enough, behind every fat man is an excellent chef!
Su Yan couldn't help crying and laughing, but the snake meat was indeed very fragrant after being grilled, which made people appetizing.
The people around them began to look for a suitable place to rest, and piles of bonfires soon rose in the swamp.
"Hey, what are these people doing...... How did you start cutting down trees. ”
Su Yan followed the prestige, but was surprised to find that the people of the Fifth Legion in front had changed their weapons and started to cut wood.
"The people of New Oriental Construction Branch, hurry up and start working." Vice President Xu's voice suddenly came from the darkness.
Then Su Yan was stunned to see a large group of people nearby begin to pour out various building materials from their respective bags...... Bricks, lime, fine sand, and even doors and windows that had already begun to take shape soon piled up in the clearing.
At the same time, many people have already begun to dig the foundation skillfully.
"This ...... Are you planning to stay here for a long time? Su Yan couldn't help but look stunned, looking at this plane, it definitely didn't look like a temporary rest camp.
It's just that the environment of this dark swamp is definitely not good, not to mention the eerie and terrifying, just the suffocating black fog is unbearable, not to mention that it is surrounded by dark creatures, and it is definitely not a place to travel at home.
"These people are a construction branch set up by the head office in the north, and it is very large, at least five or six hundred people, and they built the houses and walls on the side of the mine." The fat man also frowned and stared at the busy architects with some puzzlement.
"Everyone else is here to help, and let's build the watchtower first." Vice President Xu's voice sounded again, and he began to dispatch the rest of the company's employees.
Due to the fact that the amount of personal strength is very strong in this game world, thousands of catties of stones can be easily carried by one person, and the speed of construction is very fast.
In less than an hour, five stone towers three or four meters high were built, along with the walls between the towers.
The two-metre-high wall, made of masonry and wood, joins the five stone towers to form a complete defensive camp.
When more than a dozen simple houses were built, a forest town began to take shape.
"What is the company doing in this swamp?" Su Yan was quite puzzled by this.
With his cheap uncle's mercenary businessman's personality, he would never do anything at a loss, but he couldn't think of the gain of spending so much energy to build a town in a dark swamp full of monsters.
This dark swamp does not have a fixed output of goods like a mine, and due to the existence of storage space, players do not need to return to the city to replenish supplies even if they continue to go out to level up for a few days, and it is completely impossible to make money by selling medicine here.
When he was puzzled, the fat man with a greasy mouth seemed to think of something, and suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "I understand, the company is going to be here...... Build the city! A big city in its own right! ”
