The Future Is Full of Promise, and We All Have a Bright Future! (Two-in-One)

If we had to categorize all natural disasters on Earth into Three Six Nine Grades.

So, tsunamis would definitely rank number one in many people's minds!

This disaster brought terrifying consequences.

Not only did the first wave result in a large number of deaths, but buildings also collapsed and were destroyed.

Even more serious are the negative consequences that followed! He jumped out of the car, walked quickly forward, and passed through the procession of villagers.

In front of everyone, Su Mo was the first to exit the game's protection and enter the territory.

The next second, feeling the ground beneath his feet was completely different from before, Su Mo's expression became somewhat solemn.

"Chief, according to the reports from our scouts, almost our territory has been reduced to this state. What's strange is that outside our territory, all the land still retains the appearance of the New Continent."

"There is an invisible dividing line that prevents the disadvantages of our land from expanding outwards, and at the same time, it also prevents outside creatures from spreading in!"

With lightning speed.

The scouts sent out by Hope Village in advance quickly relayed the message back.

Although the game's restrictions prevented them from following the prescribed route, the sights and sounds along the way still gave everyone a jolt.

The entire territory belonging to Hope Village was like a Land Forsaken by Heaven, divided within it.

Judging from this environment, the real competition among all races has not yet begun.

Those who belong to the low-lying area are unknowingly inferior.

It can be said that they lost at the starting line!

However, he squatted down and picked up a handful of soil.

I rubbed it with my hands and watched the white substance keep falling off.

Su Mo, who had been on edge the whole time, breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, it hasn't reached the point of soil liquefaction."

"The land has simply been soaked in seawater for a long time, turning it into Saline-alkali Land!"

Su Mo had no expectations for the undeveloped depression.

Because this place, ever since we first crossed over, has been a terrible sandy and gravelly area, almost barren of vegetation.

It wasn't until the snowfall, the Welfare Disaster, and the multiple blessings from the Source Energy Fruit Tree that this land began to recover some vitality.

But even then, Su Mo still remembered every time he went to the old site of Hope Village.

That is, the time of Candlelight Plain.

Envy will involuntarily show in one's eyes! The low-lying area is terrible! Even after being soaked for more than a month, it is only slightly worse than at the beginning.

It is understandable that even the most resilient terrestrial plants cannot withstand the erosion of salt and the salinization of the soil.

Without adequate nutrition, the hellish scene that everyone initially saw came to be.

But in reality, it can be managed with just a little effort.

This Saline-alkali Land will not only not become a hindrance, but will also greatly improve the quality of the land in the early stages.

Most importantly.

The opportunity for governance is both far away and right before our eyes!

There is still much to be done!

"It's alright. Tell everyone to hurry up and get into the territory to start packing. Anyway, we don't have the conditions to cultivate the land in the early stages, so the land is secondary."

"Most importantly, we need to build enough structures to withstand the Heavy Snowfall as quickly as possible, and figure out exactly who our enemies are."

"Um?"

Surprisingly, after realizing that no one responded to his words for the first time, Su Mo turned his head away.

The next moment, he laughed.

Just like when the workers first went to the Great Northwest to reclaim wasteland.

The people who have always lived on this barren land don't seem to feel anything about it.

But those who came from the fertile soil of the south, after the comparison, were all deeply impacted and remembered it for a lifetime.

As a result, one can often see the sentiments expressed by that generation on platforms like Zhihu and Weibo.

The same is true for the villagers today.

The wasteland they were in before, although it was barren, at least had grass and the land had color.

Like the low-lying area today, large areas are dry and cracked, with not a blade of grass growing.

It was something that had never been heard of or seen before.

Compared to this, this place feels like a true wasteland, a true desolation! "Chief, how about we move to another spot? The land over there has grass and is very fertile; if we..."

As they spoke, Zhang Long walked up, trembling.

You could see a hint of uncertainty about the future on his face.

And a deep fear of the Heavy Snowfall that is expected in ten days or so.

On this land where there isn't even a single tree.

Clearly, all the grand plans that everyone had worked on before had gloriously failed.

"Zhang Long, do you think we still have a chance to change?"

With a smile, Su Mo stepped forward and picked up the large megaphone hanging beside Zhang Long.

Seeing the latter's tearful expression, Su Mo looked around, then quickly walked to a boulder and stood on it.

Do you regret it?

Looking at all the villagers clutching their luggage, their knuckles white.

With the help of a loudspeaker, Su Mo's voice traveled a great distance.

"This is the depression, this is where I came from."

"Let me tell you clearly, what you see now is not much different from what I saw when I traveled here."

Wow! No one answered the first question.

But when they heard the next sentence, and realized that there was no major difference between the low-lying area before and now, all the villagers were shocked! Even the management team that joined the village later had the same astonishment on their faces.

They couldn't believe that such barren land could nurture humanity's most elite warriors.

They could hardly believe that Su Mo had achieved what he had today under such circumstances.

"Director Su, what you're saying is true. This place used to be very barren, just like it is now!"

Connie stepped forward from the crowd.

As the leader of the alien race, her words carried great weight.

Within seconds, the uproar subsided considerably.

But unlike before, as the uproar subsided, the bewilderment on everyone's faces also lessened.

"Everyone, this is our territory, this is our home!"

"Don't blame it for having nothing and not being able to provide fertile land."

"Don't blame it for being so barren, for this is simply how it is."

For others, this is an unfamiliar territory.

But for Su Mo...

This is where his takeoff began, the Underground Shelter.

The Deep Sea Shelter was the place that brought him his first pot of gold.

There was Sulfur Mine that allowed him to leave the era of cold Cold Weapons and turn his life around with Thermal Weapon.

It can provide a continuous source of energy, enough to extract abundant oil for more than a decade!

The area is not as "poor" as it appears.

He possesses boundless potential! "From the moment we arrive on this land, we must abandon any unnecessary illusions."

"From our human ancestors onward, we have spent our entire lives in a great struggle against nature, against the earth, and against other people."

"Human determination can overcome nature. As long as we keep working hard, one day this place will become a sacred land that everyone in the New Continent envies, and human civilization will rise from here!"

Raising his right hand and pointing to the earth behind him, Su Mo seemed to blaze with desire in his eyes.

"This isn't sarcasm, nor is it motivational rhetoric. Now that everyone is back on equal footing, as long as we work hard, everyone can have a bright future."

"If you want to be that pioneer who starts with nothing and rebuilds civilization on this land with your own hands..."

"If you want to fulfill your ancestors' expectations and leave your mark on history, if you want to become a great person that our children, grandchildren, and descendants will always talk about and be familiar with?"

"If you want to live in a warm house, watch TV, play games, eat delicious food, exercise whenever you want, and rest whenever you want, without any pressure to survive..."

"Then please stand up straight now and shoulder your weapon."

"Follow me, let's go home!"

Wow! Su Mo didn't make any sentimental remarks when heading to the New Continent.

When he disembarked and headed to the territory, he was even more decisive, showing only one face before getting into the car.

And now.

At this critical moment when a leader needs to step forward.

As his impassioned words fell, the orderly ranks began to stir.

The previous silence gradually began to ferment.

In just three to five seconds, when the first powerful footsteps rang in everyone's ears, the crowd went wild!

Like a wild horse that has broken free, or more like a prodigal son returning home.

Without formation, everyone shouted and pushed off the planned route.

1405 people! Without exception!

[Record]: Player Su Mo, your entry into the territory has been successfully detected. Please give your territory a powerful name; perhaps this name will accompany you on your conquests and spread throughout the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

[Record]: Player Su Mo, your Territory Attributes have been updated in real time. Please check the Game Panel.

[Record]: The current level of barrenness in the territory has been detected to be far below the average level of the New Continent. All players will automatically receive the status: Strive for Excellence (all attributes increase by 10% within 15 natural days).

Three announcements began to resound throughout the land as everyone entered the territory.

Everyone could hear the sound clearly.

But before anyone could react, another exciting notification popped up on the Game Panel!

[Record]: The current territory's species count is zero. Given player Su Mo's previous excellent performance, the game will automatically provide three initial options for the player's initial development (choose one).

Option 1: Five acres of Red Soil (High-level soil that is more fertile than ordinary soil, providing a large number of microbial elements for crop growth, accelerating crop maturity and increasing fruit yield; Note: The quality of Red Soil will change depending on the surrounding soil). Option 2: Thirty Black Camphor Tree (Giant trees with individual trunks reaching up to fifteen meters in height, with broad canopies, dense foliage, majestic presence, and evergreen foliage, making them excellent natural timber for building houses; Note: Not very cold-resistant, sensitive to cold, the minimum winter temperature must not fall below 0 degrees Celsius, below 0 degrees Celsius they will suffer frost damage, below -5 to -8 degrees Celsius they will freeze and die). Option 3: A stream (A tributary stream will be created from the main road of the New Continent, the stream's water level will be adjusted according to the size of the territory; Note: The shape of the stream is randomly generated, either flowing through the territory or gently ripples around the territory). "The game actually gave us three choices?"

"Red Soil, Black Camphor Tree, streams—this is truly Timely Rain!"

This notification was not sent specifically to Su Mo, the great lord.

It was very encouraging, popping up on the panel of every player entering the territory.

With surprise on their faces, the management team, who had just been worrying about how to develop the business, instantly became excited.

But from an angle he couldn't see, Su Mo's face also showed a hint of surprise.

[Record]: Player Su Mo, in light of the nerfs to the Hope and the current state of your territory, the game will be balanced to some extent to encourage your pioneering and enterprising behavior in the game.

[Record]: The game has detected that the initial potential of the current territory is zero. The game will automatically add a special building for you. You can choose from the following three options. Note that once you make a choice, the game will not provide a second chance to choose.

Option 1: Weather Station (A human with a meteorological expertise can activate a special ability to make predictions by residing there for more than eight hours a day; Note: The accuracy of this ability will increase as the number of meteorological experts and their knowledge level increases. Currently, the success rate of predictions after the strongest human in the territory (Su Mo) residing there is 35%)

Option 2: Farm Tool Production Center (A human with a crafting expertise can be stationed there and spend more than four hours a day to activate a special ability that provides a buff to all humans within the center's area; Note: This buff will fluctuate depending on the level of the human stationed there. After the strongest human in the territory (Qi Lu) is stationed there, the buff attributes are: Farm Tool Durability +20%, Farm Tool Quality +15%)

Option 3: Training Ground (A professional instructor will be stationed there for more than eight hours a day to activate a special ability that provides attribute bonuses to all humans training there; Note: This bonus will fluctuate depending on the instructor's skill level. After the strongest human in the territory (Li Hu) is stationed there, the bonus attributes are: Stamina recovery speed +15%, Strength +10%, and Food intake +30%)

This notification is a personal tactic.

Only Su Mo can see it.

The game is also very generous in providing the three options, each of which is very practical.

The first point is that it allows everyone to prepare in advance for the unpredictable weather in the wasteland.

The second method can quickly increase productivity within the initial territory.

The third method is to directly improve combat effectiveness.

"I never expected that the goodwill I unintentionally cultivated would actually have an effect."

After staring at the three options for a while, and confirming that I could choose anytime during the day, I decided to proceed.

Su Mo was secretly delighted and temporarily stopped his impulse to make a choice.

They let the villagers behind them wander around curiously, looking all around.

Along with the lively Su Chan, the excited Moore, the Big and Little Spark of debris flying through the air, and Oreo running around with boundless joy.

Two large and four small, they headed straight ahead! A moment later, as they became more familiar with the surrounding terrain, Su Mo's suppressed smile finally burst forth.

"Brother, is this where you used to live? It doesn't seem like anything special."

On the World Channel, countless people clamor every day for the opportunity to Su God's refuge.

Even if it shortens my lifespan, I'd be happy to get some sleep! These kinds of comments filled Su Chan with curiosity.

But now, looking at the small hill covered in silt, Su Chan couldn't help but widen her eyes, constantly searching for anything unusual.

"Hehe, you'll see how amazing it is once you go inside."

"Moore, come on, let's get to work!"

They handed over a shovel from their Storage Space, and looking at the muddied hill in front of them, the man and the bear flexed their muscles.

The next moment, it was like a human bulldozer.

The silt flew backward as the shovels flew.

The hillside, which originally resembled a burial mound, began to develop gaps and then became upright.

Thump! A dull sound rang out. Su Mo's eyes narrowed as he stared at the steel gate the shovel touched, and he increased his speed even further.

In a short while, all the mud blocking the gate disappeared.

As Su Mo skillfully entered the password, with a pull and a tug, the winch appeared!

As he gripped the winch and pulled it down sharply.

This strongest human refuge, which had been buried underwater, has finally seen the light of day again!
