a new day.

When he walked out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion in the Eighth City, Meng Yang was slightly dizzy looking at the shining sky.

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

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

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

Moreover, this time difference between day and night has a very important key point, that is, after the consciousness is called into this world by him, the player's original body will fall into a more relaxed natural sleep state.

This is a state of separation of "mind and body", similar to the emergence of the soul and the projection of consciousness. Therefore, it has not been troublesome to the lives and work of some players because of "staying up late to play games".

Instead, older people such as Sun Dashou and Zhou Tong, who are getting older and sleep less, get better rest. Even some office workers who are anxious and stay up late have improved their spirits to a certain extent after this period of time.

"I can be considered as breaking up their time and using it, really using 24 hours."

Meng Yang smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth. He once dreamed that it would be perfect if people could not sleep. Now, he has realized it unintentionally. Unfortunately, this beneficiary is not himself.

"The time for the eruption of the Demon Tide is getting closer and closer. Recently, people from the Guards reported that some of the monsters found around were in a more excited state." Meng Yang stood in front of the main gate of the city, looking at the square and streets outside. The busy players thought silently in their hearts.

"We still have to hurry up and start repairing the outer walls, and then let people carefully check whether there are any powerful monsters lurking in the entire desperate city."

Meng Yang whispered and glanced back at the City Lord's Mansion behind him. He is now very confident in the talent and strength the player has shown in design and construction.

The City Lord’s Mansion in the Eighth City District is a building with some classical features of the earth. It is limited by resources and labor costs, and does not have too elaborate decoration. However, thanks to Xu Zhe’s alleged master’s degree in architecture, With the guidance of players with many years of design experience, the City Lord's Mansion that was created still looks a bit grandiose.

Regarding the construction of the City Lord's Mansion, Meng Yang didn't put forward a plan at first. It's not that he is really good-looking and can have a more comfortable and comfortable environment. Of course, he would choose a better one.

The main reason is the construction team of the City of Despair. No, it should be called the Construction Department of the City of Despair. Since the latest call, the overall number of players has been pushed to more than 10,000 in one fell swoop, although the Ministry of Construction has now expanded its staffing to nearly 1,000, 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 to shoulder the heavy task of restoring the outer wall tens of kilometers long and tens of meters high, and building a city lord mansion is not the first task.

However, in the end, Meng Yang agreed to the Ministry of Construction's request for the construction of the City Lord's Mansion. The inner story lies in the recognition of the rule of the City Lord's Mansion by the aborigines of this world.

In a world with a relatively strong class concept, a powerful regime will undoubtedly be more able to give these aboriginals who have been worried all the time, and reflect that the city lord’s government over the entire desperate city will undoubtedly need a taker. Some of the most famous mansions.

Meng Yang occasionally speculated privately that in some ancient societies, the emperor or the capital always carried out large-scale construction projects, whether there was a sense of strengthening authority.

Of course, the current results are not bad, at least the large number of aborigines who have been re-incorporated into the orderly rule of the City Lord's Mansion have completely accepted the City Lord Meng Yang. At the same time, many outsiders from the Ministry of Construction who are undertaking construction have also gained a good impression on the aborigines.

"The only ones that haven't been sorted out yet are the first and second districts, and the twelfth and thirteenth districts."

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

Due to the proximity of the mountains in the east in the first city, some metal deposits and mines in the city of despair have been discovered recently. Among them, iron ore is in urgent need, and the reserves are not low.

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

But in terms of safety, it is not so guaranteed. There are many extraordinary species wandering around the first and second urban areas. Meng Yang had already awakened some of the players who had already awakened to the first rank, and began to clean up the monsters.

The other is the 12th and 13th districts. Strictly speaking, there is actually only one 12th district. Due to the backflow of the river, most of the thirteenth city has been submerged by the backflow of seawater, becoming a land of Zee.

But Meng Yang still did not dare to relax his vigilance in these two urban areas. To put it bluntly, the layout of the City of Despair was actually a city developed by relying on the walls of Despair. Be careful to defend both sides of the city.

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

"The top priority is to not only repair the walls of Despair, but also defend the surrounding urban areas."

During this period of time, Meng Yang probably also figured out the conditions of the Wall of Despair. The walls of Despair in 13 districts, of which the wall of the 10th district was seriously damaged. The 50- to 60-meter-high wall collapsed and became a monster. Long drive straight into the main zone.

There is also a section of the city wall in the seventh city, the fourth city and the fifth city. The damage is extremely serious. There are openings ranging from tens of meters to hundreds of meters. That was after the hexapod insect monster and some other large monsters broke through. The damage caused.

Fortunately for the Fourth and Fifth City Districts, when the City of Despair fell, it did not collapse as badly as it is now. The main areas are still concentrated in several other districts. On the contrary, in the recent period, some large monsters entered and the city wall was destroyed.

Otherwise, according to the number of hexapod insect monsters in front, and the destruction of the extraordinary third-order four-armed lizardmen, the East Continent Remains Camp in the Third City District, even if it is quite powerful, will not be able to support it until now.

"After repairing the city wall, I might have to consider whether to build the city wall in the 12th and 13th districts as well, otherwise marine life may break in from here and it may be difficult to resist."

Regarding the two walls close to the coast, Meng Yang is still a little uncertain about his current thinking.

The main reason is that although there are many monsters living in this area, most of them are herbivorous monsters, and they are also the source of the pastures and various forage foods raised by monsters in the City of Despair.

If these areas are excluded from the city wall plan, when the magic wave erupts, it may affect the combat power of the monster cavalry.

It’s because the terrain is relatively muddy. Even if you want to build fortifications on the edge of the coast, it’s not that easy. Then the existence of some low-level monsters is likely to affect the ninth after the eruption of the magic tide. Security in more than a dozen districts.

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

It can be said that the entire animal power department is developing extremely rapidly. Among them, people like Lu Xin and Ke Yuan have not only reached the extraordinary second-tier personal strength, but also organized a large number of players to become monster cavalry. The total number of monster cavalry is up to now. Also reached seven or eight hundred.

This force has a limited impact on giant monsters above the extraordinary rank three, but it has a considerable deterrent ability against a large number of monsters below the extraordinary rank two.

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

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

"Ok?"

Just as Meng Yang was thinking about how to deal with the eruption of the magic tide in several districts, suddenly a reminder to summon the elves sounded in his mind.

From the perspective of a player, Meng Yang saw the picture that was sent back 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 sea of ​​sand.

The entire long strip of Desperate City is a ribbon that straddles this small peninsula. The 13th city to the west is adjacent to the sea. Because there is a huge Danshui River above the Desperate City, this section of the sea is basically It belongs to a freshwater area, which greatly affects and improves the surrounding ecological environment.

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

This mountain range was called by the exiles of the Eastern Continent as the Broken Mountain Range, which means that as soon as one crosses this mountain range, the meaning of life and death is cut off.

The broken mountain range is north-south, and the mountain range is not too wide, about tens of kilometers, but the north and south poles are narrow and long, steep and towering, completely isolating the forgotten land from the vast sand sea and forming two worlds.

It is precisely because of the appearance of this mountain range that the Forgotten Land to the west is filled with steam and flourishes, becoming a place where a large number of monsters and monsters live. On the east side, because there is no water vapor that can cross the mountains throughout the year, precipitation is formed, which degenerates into a vast sand sea Gobi over time.

At this moment, in the broken mountain range bordering the first city.

In a gorge about ten meters in width, Sun Shuai jumped onto a footing rock on the narrow mountain wall and watched the group of men and horses that suddenly emerged from the gorge that looked like a line of sky. The color of curiosity.

There were not many people in this team, about 70 or 80 people, all of them looked miserable, obviously after a long journey.

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

Next to Sun Shuai was Wang Liao, who was ossified and looked like a skeletal monitor lizard.

"do not know."

Sun Shuai shook his head, "The people on the eastern continent of this canyon said that it leads to the vast desert. Their ancestors were exiled along this canyon."

Today, Sun Shuai and Wang Liao came out to investigate the terrain and mineral deposits around the Broken Mountain Range. As the head of the Ministry of Industry, at such a rapid development rate, solving the problem of resources has always been the number one problem that troubles Sun Shuai. problem.

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

"Maybe it is possible." Sun Shuai was a little uncertain.

He has been in this world long enough, and he probably learned something from some players and aboriginal survivors.

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

The people in the Dragon City will prepare a certain amount of water and food for the exiles, and then drive the exiles out of the pass and drive them into the vast desert. Once someone turns around, kill them.

The only way for the exiles to survive is to walk all the way west, through the vast desert, and then to the Broken Mountain Range, then into the valley of the Broken Mountain Range, to the Forgotten Land.

The exiles on the way can flee in all directions, but the vast desert is tens of thousands of miles away, except for the city of despair, nowhere else can go.

In this vast desert of tens of thousands of miles, some monsters in the desert will be invaded and attacked in the middle of life. Coupled with the extremely harsh environment, basically most of the exiles have died on the road, and can truly reach the forgotten land. The ten does not save one.

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

First of all, he has to cross the vast desert of tens of thousands of miles, and then he has to face the fortifications of the dragon city. When the City of Despair fell before, it was not that no one had thought of fleeing back to the Eastern Continent, but most people either died in the desert, or finally died under the moat outside the Dragon City.

The team that appeared in front of Sun Shuai and the others looked at Wei Yi moving forward. The team that seemed to be in desperate situation looked very similar to the people they knew who had been exiled from the Eastern Continent.

"Then what shall we do next?" Wang Liao looked at the miserable people below the Tianxian Canyon, and then asked Sun Shuai again.

"Let's observe for a while."

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

The first city continues to be the only iron ore field on the Broken Mountain Range, which has once again expanded its development efforts.

Several iron-making blast furnaces and a small industrial park were built around the iron ore field. In Sun Shuai's plan ~lightnovelpub.net~ this will be the main direction of the next industrial development in the City of Despair.

After all, near the place where the resources are close, the minerals stored in the original camp have been exhausted in the course of repeated development. Had it not been for the expansion of the site, the collection of various iron and metal resources from the city of despair, and the re-melting and smelting, projects such as the magic locomotive and the magic crystal cannon would have long been suspended.

Although in Sun Shuai’s heart, he felt that looking at a team of people who had little strength to walk in front of him would not cause much harm to his industrial base, but he knew that this world is a real different world, and there are various situations. It may happen.

Everything is better to be careful.

"what?"

When Sun Shuai and Wang Liao were standing on the mountain wall on the edge of the sky and observing these people, suddenly in the crowd below, someone seemed to have seen the two people standing on the upper mountain wall, and immediately let out an exclamation. .

The current appearance of the two of them is obviously the appearance of a monster and monster. This appearance immediately made the already sluggish people below regain their spirits and looked in the direction of the two.
