"To survive, yes, all ordinary people just want to survive!"

"But some people, after arriving here, begin to indulge in dictatorship and dream of immortality, wanting to leapfrog their life level through the game."

Can you say they're wrong?

With Su Mo no longer seated at the head of the table, the discussions in the meeting room below gradually grew louder.

With Chen Shen presiding, everyone was having a heated discussion about how to gain more benefits and live better after such a natural disaster.

As the cool night breeze blew, Zhong Qingshu suddenly understood Su Mo's level of understanding and what Su Mo was really considering.

"Times have changed. They will never understand, nor will they ever understand, what secrets this wasteland holds."

"What they want, and what they are doing, is nothing more than replicating everything they have done on Earth before!"

"What I want to do is completely destroy these people's dreams, let this wasteland descend into chaos, let the capable rise, and let the incapable step down. Don't try to suppress me with any rules or morals from Earth!"

"As for what will happen in the meantime, let's take it one step at a time!"

Seeing that Zhong Qingshu remained silent, her large eyes fixed on him as if she were seeing him in a new light, Su Mo laughed and stood up.

With the example of Yan Country as a precedent, if we still think about returning to the old tradition of sticking together, then we should be wary.

Su Mo would never entrust his back to these people if he was not in power.

Therefore, under such circumstances, what Su Mo most wants to see is to maintain the status quo!

Human deployment follows a pattern: whenever the death rate exceeds a certain threshold during a disaster, deployments will continue.

Even with the most optimistic outlook, this migration to the New Continent is expected to result in at least 20% to 30% casualties.

In this case, the game will definitely continue to deploy the remaining humans on Earth.

Su Ba Su Ma 54 years old, and there is a high probability that they will become part of the next batch of people targeted after they go to Xindalu.

Once the family is picked up, Su Mo will have no more worries.

Furthermore, with the Hope, a Sub-Legendary ship, carrying the "Food God Bomb" capable of self-destructing with all of humanity, and a mysterious system, if one still tries to remain aloof like an ordinary person, it might backfire in the end, leading to alienation and betrayal from everyone!

Therefore, starting with informing Hope Village tonight, it is the first step for Su Mo to tie everyone to his chariot.

"Alright, I know what you're trying to say, but right now, even though I also want the alien race to die, I would never do it by such means!"

Seeing Zhong Qingshu's hesitant expression, Su Mo paused, then pulled her up and jumped off the roof.

There are spies among humans.

If the alien races also have Game Panel, then if humans know about the disaster, it's equivalent to the alien races knowing about it as well.

However, without a way to deal with the Ocean Alien Race, even sacrificing billions of humans to exchange for them with the Land Alien Race would be futile.

Inside the meeting room, the conversation naturally turned to this very point.

From the initial lifelessness to the current bustling activity, after figuring out what opportunities this disaster could bring to the village, even the most foolish person realized just how important Su Mo's information was!

"Once you've figured it out, let's get started. If you need to borrow any of my tools, just let me know. The second closed beta test for the Hope will continue tomorrow night."

"I will announce the news no later than the day after tomorrow. Until then, this time is the most precious time I can give to Hope Village."

Dealing with this disaster can be both difficult and easy.

The time allotted to the other humans doesn't need to be too long, just three days, enough to ensure both their survival and Hope Village's acquisition of the first market.

Furthermore, with the village having developed to this point, Su Mo no longer needs to personally lead any specific development initiatives.

After a brainstorming session of more than ten minutes in the meeting room, the management team came up with preliminary ideas for the manufacture of disaster relief tools.

All materials have energy absorption properties; the only difference is that some materials absorb more energy than others.

Hope Village needs to do now is to find a material with strong energy absorption capabilities, find a way to quickly mass-produce it, and then be among the first to benefit from the market boom.

As for whether others will join later, after they've had their fill of the first wave, even if they leave, the gains will be enough for Hope Village to digest for a long time.

"Okay, Big Brother Su, I'll take everyone down to work right away."

"This time, I guarantee we've done a fantastic job!"

Watching the management team rush away under Chen Shen's leadership, Su Mo greeted Zhong Qingshu and, taking advantage of the still-dark night, strode towards Iron Stone Mountain.

Although there were many problems in the first test, none of them were fatal.

Whether it's building a second Fire Control Radar or dealing with various errors and digging holes, these are all simple tasks.

Of all the problems, the first one we need to face is how to withstand the first wave of the waterfall's impact with minimal damage.

"If we were to build a Large Ship Hangar, based on the size of the Hope,..."

"Materials are a minor issue; the key problem is time."

Eighty meters long, 21 meters high, and 14 meters wide—building a steel shipyard of that size would be time-consuming and material-intensive.

With current productivity, the earliest the shipyard will be repaired is before the disaster strikes.

If we find problems with the shipyard once we get into the simulation, there will be even less time left to fix it! "We have no choice but to take a different approach and think of another way!"

Looking down from Iron Stone Mountain, one can see the firelight inside Connie's cave Female Lion Man.

With a bold idea surfacing in his mind, Su Mo smiled and quickly "climbed" up the path at the foot of the mountain.

Thump! Thump, thump! "Please come in."

As she surrendered and gradually integrated into life in Hope Village, Connie, the Female Lion Man, also gradually became accustomed to human etiquette.

Before this door is opened, absolutely no human would believe that the person sitting inside is actually a different race.

Having received permission, Su Mo pushed open the wooden door to the cave entrance, startling Connie, who was still sitting inside lost in thought.

"Su Mo, what brings you here!"

"Coo coo."

During the day, after witnessing the horrors of the Hope, Connie Female Lion Man, returned to her village and began to plot.

Even dinner time in the afternoon was missed because he was too engrossed in thinking.

At the beginning, as the two parties in the cooperation, Connie felt that there was a gap in strength between them, but as long as she seized the opportunity, she could quickly use her summoning advantage to level the playing field.

But now, when Connie realizes that even if she were several times stronger than herself, she still couldn't catch up with Su Mo, she's a little confused and even a little panicked.

The key to maintaining a cooperative relationship is the transfer of benefits! Su Mo can provide himself with an excellent living environment, protect him, and lead the lion-man race to prosperity.

But what can I offer Su Mo?

There's only one alien core? Once he figured this out, and realized that any random "wandering bee" could easily take his place, he understood that...

A tremendous sense of crisis had already filled her underdeveloped mind.

So much so that upon seeing Su Mo for the first time, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up from the ground.

"Don't be nervous. I see you haven't eaten yet. How about this, I'll take you out for a late-night snack!"

Hearing the gurgling sounds coming from Connie's belly, Su Mo's smile widened.

After the man and the lion emerged from the cave, they went to the Resource Warehouse and retrieved some beef, seasonings, and a barbecue grill.

With Connie by his side, Su Mo arrived at a large salt-drying platform on the ridge.

From this location and angle, you can get a clear overview of the entire Hope Ship and also see the changes in Hope Village around Iron Stone Mountain.

"I haven't cooked for over ten days, and I never expected my first meal would be barbecue, especially with you!"

After lighting the charcoal fire, sprinkling the beef with seasonings, skewering it, and placing it on the charcoal, Su Mo sat down and stretched.

These seasonings are nothing special.

However, when Psionic Water is added as the main ingredient, it has an inexplicable attraction to all living beings without long-term consumption.

But today, Connie, the Female Lion Man, wasn't paying attention to this. Instead, she was staring absently at the Hope, lost in thought.

Pfft! He pulled out two bottles of beer, unzipped them, placed them on the stone slab in front of the grill, and lay down beside Connie in the Su Mo.

"After seeing the ceremony at Hope Village today, I wonder, didn't your Lion-Man tribe hold a farewell ceremony for you back then?"

After taking a big gulp of pure Tsingtao Pure Draft beer and savoring the burst of malt flavor on his tongue, Su Mo smacked his lips and started the conversation.

As expected, Connie didn't answer. Instead, she imitated Su Mo by picking up the green bottle in front of her and blowing a big gulp.

"Cough cough! This is my first time drinking alcohol, and I never expected it to taste like this. "Connie coughed heavily twice to relieve the strange taste in her mouth.

"A farewell ceremony? No, that's not for us!"

"Anyone who is chosen to go to this world is already dead from the moment they are chosen."

Alcohol can break down people's defenses, and it can also break down the defenses of a Leo.

With the pure milk in hand, Connie started to chatter away, gradually beginning to ramble on.

"You were chosen by lottery? Didn't you want to come to this world?"

"Of course not. This world, filled with slaughter and death, and regularly ravaged by natural disasters, is something no one would want to come to. Every lion-man who gets selected leaves crying and begging for mercy before they go."

"What a spineless person!"

Having learned human language, Connie uses it very well, even mastering idioms. If it weren't for her wild "lion head," you would never guess she was a member of a different race.

"Weren't you chosen too?"

Seeing Connie's mocking tone towards the other lion-men, Su Mo paused, took a sip of wine, and followed up with a question.

"Of course not, I came here voluntarily. Otherwise, how could I, the youngest priestess of my Lion-man race, be drawn to this land forsaken by the gods?" Connie waved her hand proudly.

"I know you're curious about what we, our alien race, are looking for on this land. That's not a problem; I can tell you exactly."

What we're looking for is...

"Godhood Item!"
