The skill "Cold-Blooded" of the "Dark Descent" has the effect of increasing the attributes of all allied individuals within the range, similar to Mamie's "Blessing".

Of course, her biggest role is to activate the "Knight" bond effect, which can increase the resilience of all followers.

Tang Hao didn't care about the strength of the individual "ability" now, he needed to activate more and stronger bonds to improve the overall strength of the gathering place.

The "Soul Chain", which resembles the "Warrior" bond, requires five "Warriors" to activate, and Daniel is the only one of his followers who is a "Warrior".

In order to make up this bond, you have to find four other people, but the good news is that the bag of inactive modules provided by Paul has all kinds of bonding modules, so you don't have to worry about the modules at all.

As for why he didn't let the six people under Mu Xi join the gathering place together, it was because Tang Hao thought that in the future, the population of the gathering place would become more and more large.

A gathering place like them, where they don't have to worry about food or clothing and can also send "divine power fragments", is still very attractive to outsiders.

In line with the idea of preferring lack to abundance, Tang Hao will strictly screen the people who will join the gathering place in the future, and his follower quota is only two hundred, which is not something that any cat or dog can mix in.

……

"Bastion".

Many people feel as if there is an undercurrent surging in the city.

The price of flour barley has risen again and again, and it has been sold for two coins per kilogram, and the streets that were once sparsely populated due to the floods have become crowded again.

The central passage is also always bustling with people, with people going to other floors and people coming here every day.

By all accounts, a big change is brewing in the "fortress".

Mamba and the transport team are still running at two points and one line.

Take the suit and boots from the Gathering Place, transport them to the "Fortress" and sell them, then exchange the tokens for Flour Barley and transport them back to the Gathering Place.

On this day, as soon as they left the security checkpoint of the "fortress", they met an acquaintance.

"Britz? Why are you here? Mamba looked at the former worker leader with a tired face and a dirty suit in front of him, and greeted him.

Britz was in a very different state than when he left the gathering place.

He had lost a lot of weight, and he looked like a refugee when he had just arrived at the gathering place after the flood.

Britz opened his mouth and said bitterly to the Mamba, "Chief Mamba, long time no see." ”

Mamba handed him a bottle of water, and waited for Britz to drink well before asking, "What about your people?" Why are these only a few who follow you, and there is an accident during this time? ”

Because of the approach of the dark area, Mamba had to dismiss the group of workers, who had numbered twenty-nine by the time they left.

Such a large team, even if it is not led by "capable people", is a force to be reckoned with.

But in front of Britz, it is obvious that they have had a bad time during this time.

Britz drank a bottle of water, but his stomach growled, and when he saw the flour barley balls handed over by Mamba, although he was a little embarrassed, he did not refuse.

After breaking the barley into several pieces and distributing them to the people behind him, Britz began to eat his own.

It can be seen that those people are his loyal followers.

After eating the flour barley balls, Britz's face finally turned a little bloody, and he told the mamba about his experience after leaving the gathering place.

It turned out that after leaving the gathering place, they followed the map provided by Mamba and came to the "fortress".

That time was their happiest day, although they had worked in the gathering place for so long and didn't get many tokens in their hands, but the suit on their bodies and the boots on their feet were proof of their identity.

But soon, they encountered their first problem, which was how to make money.

After the floods, the price of flour barley has risen, and they now have to go to the gathering place for two meals a day at regular intervals.

What's even worse is that some members who have never seen Huahua World were fooled into the gambling table, and the little tokens in their hands were completely lost.

Looking for a job? The work in the "fortress" is no better than that of the gathering place, as long as you work hard, you will have food and money, and many times you are tired and half dead and can't exchange it for a meal.

It didn't take long for some members to start exchanging their suits and boots for money.

This outfit can be exchanged for at least fifty tokens in the "fortress", and the sudden wealth makes them lose their way and fall into the huge pit of consumption.

Within a month, those who pawned or sold their clothes and shoes were once again plunged into abject poverty, and after that they had nothing to exchange for.

Some members starved to death, some were sold into slavery for money, and many more disappeared into the shadows.

Britz had spent a lot of time and effort trying to keep the team going, but unfortunately he didn't have enough force to restrain them.

It's impossible to convince everyone with just one mouth.

"These brothers and I have been living a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs by helping people carry things."

Britz sighed, "But at least we're alive, though not very decently." ”

He looked up at the Mamba: "Mamba Chief, what happened to the darkness that attacked your gathering place last time?" ”

Mamba nodded and said, "We were lucky enough to drive the darkness away, and now life is okay." ”

"Then ......," Britz said, licking his lips, "do you still need workers there?" ”

Mamba reached out to support him and nodded, "Of course you need to, Britz, you can come back and go back to work at any time if you want." ”

……

Britz and the five men they brought back made the gathering place more staffed, and together with Muxi's men, they dug up the compression blocks to feed the "G-type standard construction formwork", and the machine also returned to its previous production capacity.

In order to better control Britz and them, Tang Hao decided to absorb him into the gathering place.

After a few months of displacement, Britz had lost his ambition and easily agreed to Mamba's proposal.

Tang Hao activated a second-level "Assaulter" module for him with a "warrior" bond, and the module skill "Assault" allowed him to sprint at an incredible speed in a short period of time.

Britz, who obtained the "Divine Power Fragment", was surprised that there really was a "god" in this world, just like Paul and Muxi.

Of course, their beliefs are not as firm as those of the original members of the gathering place, but more just fear.

Their status is also much lower than that of the original members, and as for the distribution of personnel, Paul joins the Lynn family of Catherine and Selena.

Muhi and her men joined the Langer family of Lias, while Britz and his men joined the Grimaud family of Mamba and Bal.
