Supreme Honor! An Unprecedented Opportunity!
On this wasteland that doesn't belong to me.
Human gatherings are ultimately fleeting, like a flash in the pan.
After two or three days of rest, all the survivors will eventually scatter like stars in the sky into the vast "sea"! But this separation is destined not to be sad, but rather a temporary parting filled with endless emotions!
March 11th, 6:15 PM.
As more and more survivors slowly awoke from their rafts, they received their first share of the fleet's profits.
"Hehe, I got a toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste. This bonus is really good!"
"I'm so envious, I only got a pillowcase."
"The pillowcase isn't good enough? I have a bar of soap here, want to change it?"
"Soap? Why don't you consider sharing it (chuckles)!"
"Get out of here~~~~"
With a wave of his hand, Lu Yongyi opened a thousand Iron Treasure Chest and a thousand Copper Treasure Chest.
Every survivor of the Tundra Fleet received their share, more or less.
Although this amount of money is just a drop in the ocean for these people, it has given them a glimpse of a bright future.
On the deck of the Tundra, several tables were set up.
On nights without disaster, the wasteland is filled with cool breezes.
The three tables of people sat in the open air, chatting about their bright vision for the future and discussing their future development plans.
As the absolute protagonist, Su Mo simply smiled and nodded occasionally as he watched the lively crowd below.
Lu Yongyi stood to the side as an accompaniment, the two of them like lucky cats, simply drinking small amounts of wine and eating the snacks on the table.
"Old Lu, this wine doesn't look like something you'd find in a treasure chest. You didn't get this from somewhere, did you?"
As Su Mo flipped through the bottles on the table, looking at the panda pattern printed on the front, he made a pointed remark.
Meanwhile, on the other side, after hearing his words...
Lu Yongyi scratched his head and grinned sheepishly, "This wine definitely can't be opened. Don't look at me like that, this is Dragon Leader treating you to it!"
Su Mo asked in surprise, "Dragon Leader invited me?"
Lu Yongyi smiled and nodded, "That's right. Even on our Earth, this wine would be considered a top-tier special supply. Only a handful of people can drink it every year. It was only when we first transmigrated that an old cadre had a drinking problem and brought this wine with him. Perhaps the bottle in your hand is the last one we will ever drink in our lives!"
As he slowly savored each sip, Lu Yongyi's face showed endless enjoyment.
Based on his previous status, he wouldn't have been able to afford such good food.
Of course, it's not because this stuff is actually that delicious, but because the meaning it represents makes people feel enlightened.
This is fine wine for truly meritorious elders, and it is also a great affirmation of their contributions.
"There's Dragon Leader didn't tell you, he had other things to tell me!"
Lu Yongyi was taken aback. "How did you know that Dragon Leader had another message for you?"
There was no answer. After Lu Yongyi asked the question, Su Mo simply revealed a faint smile of complete control.
There are less than eighteen hours left before the game updates.
After this short period of time, the game will receive a real-life survival update.
At that time, all humans on the wasteland will be completely cut off from contact and become an isolated island in the ocean.
Even Su Mo, who is seen as having immense influence by everyone, will face the predicament of being out of contact with Hope Village for a period of time.
And this final moment is the game's "farewell" to everyone! In the world chat, countless players are already spontaneously encouraging each other and saying goodbye.
Those who usually spread trash and violent information have all quietly disappeared, replaced by countless survivors sharing their survival experiences over the past few days.
In the regional chat, those old acquaintances who had been chatting for more than two months were also having a reluctant farewell.
No one said it aloud, but everyone knew clearly in their hearts that this parting might be forever!
In such a harsh natural disaster environment, few people are confident that they can survive to the end and wait for the dawn.
Long An Guo is out of the question!
Even though Dragon Flag Shelter is the strongest China Shelter, they still need to hide in the deep sea to develop slowly when in danger.
Other sanctuaries such as Polar Bear, Dawn Sword, and Red Moon are the same.
But before everyone else leaves, in the last bit of time they have left, the only thing they can do is place bets!
As for the entity that placed the bet, it must be the human Su God!
Su Mo had suspected this several days ago, and seeing the bottle of wine on the Tundra only strengthened his belief in it.
"Hey, I was planning to tell you when we parted, but I didn't expect you to guess it already."
"But it was my fault for forgetting. How could you not have guessed it!"
Realizing what had happened, Lu Yongyi secretly drank another glass of wine, a slight smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
Immediately, a square box, roughly the size of a mobile phone, appeared in his hand.
Under the night lights, this thing looked unremarkable. At least, having seen many mystical items, Su Mo immediately recognized that it was definitely not a high-ranking item.
In addition, there's the rough workmanship on the outside and the flashing red dots on it.
It looks exactly like those tracking devices used to track secret agents in modern Hollywood blockbusters.
"For me?"
Lu Yongyi nodded emphatically. "Here you go!"
Then, with great ceremony, he stretched out both hands, placed the box in his hands, and handed it over with both hands!
Such a solemn manner prompted Su Mo to take it without further ado.
"Tsk, it's quite heavy!"
Upon receiving it, Su Mo casually weighed it in his hand and was surprised to find that it weighed more than two pounds.
Given its size, it must have used some unknown Black Technology or some amazing game materials.
Without any hesitation, Su Mo activated the system and analyzed the black box in front of Lu Yongyi.
But as expected, this thing really doesn't have a grade.
Furthermore, the name of the box is very simple on the attribute panel provided by the system, consisting of only three characters.
A communicator! "Su Mo, this wasn't given to you by the Dragon Leader alone, but was unanimously decided and awarded to you by our shared human destiny!"
"And with him came this certificate!"
He took out another item from his Storage Space, just like last time. Seeing Lu Yongyi's serious demeanor, Su Mo was taken aback for a moment, but ultimately took it back into his hand.
This is a greeting card.
It had a bright red cover with a row of large red, gold-embossed characters. "Human Destiny Community?" Muttering this name to himself, Su Mo opened the first page of the card, scanned its contents for a few seconds, and then slowly closed it.
"Giving me such a high position is a way of flattering me to death!"
Lu Yongyi shook his head. "This isn't flattery to kill, this is what you deserve, Su Mo!"
"Because of the lack of information, even though everyone is shouting 'Su God' in the chat channel, for you young people, it must feel like playing a game, right?"
"Without tens of thousands of people coming to drink, without changes in interpersonal relationships, without the attention of several countries, and without the worship of hundreds of millions of people..."
"In this wasteland, you may not realize that your influence has grown significantly."
"Look there!"
As if he had been holding these words in for a long time, Lu Yongyi finished speaking in one breath, and then pointed to the side without making a sound.
Following his direction, Su Mo looked over.
Lu Yongyi's first reference was Zhang Long.
At this moment, Zhang Long was drinking and eating heartily, occasionally boasting and telling dirty jokes to the captains below.
Surprisingly, the moment Su Mo turned his gaze over, Zhang Long immediately revealed a sheepish smile, scratching the back of his head with his greasy hand, looking embarrassed.
Clearly, although Zhang Long appeared to be chatting with the people below, his attention was actually still on Su Mo.
Lu Yongyi's second point refers to the crew members who are serving the food.
The crew member was short and unremarkable in appearance, with several wounds on his arms that had not fully healed and were oozing yellow pus.
He kept his head down and moved quickly among the tables.
But when Su Mo looked over, just like Zhang Long, the crew member immediately raised his head and revealed an "extremely bright" smile.
Although the smile looked somewhat sinister to Su Mo, he knew that it was the crew member doing his best to express goodwill.
Each time Su Mo looked away, Lu Yongyi would point to the next person.
From the captain on deck, to the crew passing by, to the guards, and then to the survivors on the Raft Ferry below.
Whenever Su Mo turned his gaze away, he would see these people casting their goodwill and showing friendly smiles.
Gradually, Su Mo began to understand.
This time he didn't turn his head, and Lu Yongyi didn't point again. The two of them returned to the table and sat down without leaving a trace.
"Su Mo, what I said earlier was my own observation over this period of time, not the opinion of Dragon Leader and the others. I think you should understand what I mean."
"Of course, I'm not saying that what you're doing now is bad, nor am I saying that there will be problems if you continue like this, but since ancient times, whether in China or abroad, our history has always passed down these things."
"Your position has changed, and that's irreversible. Whether you accept it or not, it's no longer subject to your personal will!"
After a pause, the two clinked glasses and took a sip of wine. Lu Yongyi's expression turned serious. "We won't use empty slogans like 'With great power comes great responsibility' to hold you hostage, nor will we pressure you with lofty visions of humanity's future and our tomorrow."
"This Honorary Chairman of the Human Destiny Community, although he has no real power, relies on this communicator in your hand."
"You are qualified, within reasonable limits, to mobilize all the power of humanity to help you accomplish something!"
"This matter, whether it's your personal affair or a common human tragedy, whether it's saving lives or a major war, is unrelated."
"Whenever you encounter a situation where you need our help, simply press the communication button on this communicator and we will come to your rescue!"
Whoosh! Lu Yongyi's words had barely faded when...
In an instant, the previously noisy dinner table became miraculously quiet.
Although Lu Yongyi's voice wasn't loud, with everyone listening intently, they still vaguely sensed the terrifying truth!
Honorary Chairman!
Humanity as a whole is on one thing!
What an incredible gesture! To grant such power to one person!
But at the same time, they immediately realized what was happening.
Indeed, among all of humanity, only Su God, who has twice saved humanity from dire straits, is qualified to enjoy this right.
If it weren't for him, humanity might have already fallen to the mad slaughter of the alien race.
Without him, humanity's future might still be bleak, and we wouldn't have the privilege of Reproduce and Thrive.
Humanity, currently in a state of "poverty," cannot afford tangible rewards like those in a game.
But this promise is the last act of defiance by every wasteland survivor! Will Su God accept it? With tension, all the captains held their breath and looked over.
The next second, after seeing Su Mo's relaxed smile, the deck became lively again.
It was as if the previous silence had never existed! Excellent, this is truly Su God's style!
