Chapter 60 Betrayal and Minor Update
“Monsters~ Yes, there are monsters outside, those monsters that devour fear.” Johnny chuckled. “Bob, you’ve disappointed me. The doomsday prophecy has come true. The monsters of hell have been released.”
"You saw that monster, dozens of stories tall, right? If we don't get stronger, we'll be killed by that monster sooner or later." Johnny's deep voice even had a hint of seduction in its words.
"How do we become stronger?" Bob retorted, "We're just ordinary people."
“Fear, Bob, it’s fear.”
"Think about it, people's fear of monsters can create monsters out of thin air. But what if people's fear is directed at living, breathing people?"
Then, Su Li heard the sound of something being crushed.
"My God, you've crushed the stone!" Bob exclaimed.
"Look, this is the power I gained, ah, fear, intoxicating fear. At first, I just beat, robbed, raped. Then I discovered my power increasing. Then I went further and became stronger and stronger."
You can't even imagine what kind of life I lead. My biggest daily struggle is dealing with the wrinkles on my younger brother's skin caused by prolonged soaking in water.
I am the Emperor of the University of Norford.
“Dude, you really like Hailey, right? She’s with me, my good partner, and I can share her with you. As long as you help me out, like on the football team.”
Bob was silent for a long while before finally saying, "What should I do?"
“Partner, I know that old guy Felton can make weapons. He bragged in his internship that he could make explosives and firearms with the equipment here.”
This old guy who's been on the battlefield is stubborn and inflexible; he definitely won't help me make weapons.
"Once he's finished making the weapons, you take away those amazing explosive gadgets for me, and leave the rest to me."
"What are you going to do?" Bob continued to ask.
"Humans are adaptable to fear, which is infuriating. So I'm going to target some naive newbies. I'll catch the old man, kill a few to establish my authority, and refresh their fear of me. I need to become stronger."
"Of course, there's you too, my partner. You can learn from my methods, and we can become stronger together. It's hard to accomplish anything alone, my friend; I also need a helper."
Another silence followed. Then Bob said, "Okay, when we're killing people later, kill the Asian guy with the sword first. He's a very skilled swordsman."
"Sure, sure. It'll be a pleasure working with you, partner."
Upon hearing this, Su Li stopped listening and tiptoed away.
Back at the lathe, the old professor was still working enthusiastically.
Zuli stood next to Ivan, took out the manual, and sent the information she had received to Ivan and Sophia.
Anyway, these indigenous people won't be able to see the manual.
"Should we remind the old headmaster?" Ivan asked.
"Let me tell you. They're nice people, aren't they? Whether you believe it or not is none of our business. Remember, the humans here are nothing but fleeting shadows. They died long ago with the destruction of the world. So sell them when it's time to sell. Don't feel any moral pressure," Su Li reminded her.
【Could we trick someone into becoming a human bomb and strike first?】
Su Li looked at Sophia. [There's no need to be so inhumane.]
Wow, I've never met any of the non-vehicle crew members before, and I never realized this girl was so ruthless.
Seeing that Felton had finished another batch of bullets, Ivan stepped forward, holding a shield, and said to Felton, "Mr. Felton, I feel that this shield is not very good. Could you take a look at it for me?"
“Oh, son, I must admit, I’ve never made a shield before, and I had a feeling I was going to embarrass myself.” Old Felton, looking like he was about to lose face in his later years, took the shield.
He flipped open the shield and looked inside; his pupils immediately contracted.
Inside, there was a line of text written in resin. He didn't recognize the characters, but he could understand them, and he didn't feel anything was wrong with them.
Bob and Johnny team up to steal grenades and enslave the crowd.
He adjusted his glasses and caught a glimpse of Bob, who made no attempt to hide his thoughts and looked anxious, out of the corner of his eye. He made his judgment and then said to Ivan, "Kid, I see the problem. Take this wax, get some wax on, tighten the screws, and everything will be fine."
Ivan took the wax and shield and returned to Zurich.
After confirming that the old principal had taken care of things, Su Li and the others began to rest and recharge.
It was at this moment that Su Li and the others suddenly received a notification from the system.
[System Announcement!]
[System Announcement!]
[System Announcement!]
The triple system announcement made Su Li's heart sink. The last time there was a triple announcement was when those five people leveled up to level 6, and the system's progress made a major leap forward.
Su Li quickly opened the leaderboard.
[First Place: Luo Ping'an, Train Level 10] (Enhanced Critical Hit)
[Second Place: Li Fan, Train Level 9] (Summoning System)
[Third Place: Tang Sheng, Train Level 9] (All for You System)
[Fourth place, Su Xing, Train Level 8] (Strongest Hint System)
[Fifth Place: Lin Feng, Train Level 8] (Check-in System)
(The text in parentheses is the author's note for the reader.)
"They didn't reach level 11, so it wasn't their fault." Su Li breathed a sigh of relief.
The system then continued to issue further prompts.
[Upon testing, the trains of the remaining 432975194 survivors (4.3 million in value) of the Blue Star civilization have all been upgraded to level 1 official trains, and the advanced features are now available.]
[Chat rooms now offer private group chat functionality; players can now create group chats using Survival Coins.]
[Chat room now supports searching messages]
[The chat room now features a world channel on Earth; you can check out the details yourself.]
Su Li first saw the figure of 4.3 million.
He felt sadness. Earth originally had 98 billion people, and this was only the fourth world; in just over 20 days, only 4.3 million remained.
It wasn't just the massive death of people. What saddened Zurich even more was the demise of civilization.
Such a large-scale death toll, and it is foreseeable that the majority of the dead will be elderly people and children.
Taking the civilization of the Chinese nation as an example, most of the masters of traditional Chinese studies are middle-aged or elderly people. How many young people are interested in the ancient culture of the Chinese nation? It is certain that much of the transmission of Chinese civilization has been lost.
Culturally, the sweltering summer is on the verge of death.
Su Li remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a helpless sigh.
There's nothing he can change.
Opening the chat room, players were buzzing with discussion about the matter. However, most hadn't considered the possibility of cultural extinction. They were more focused on the death toll and which genius had managed to survive to the fourth world with a level 0 "newspaper shell."
Before long, someone answered the question.
[It must be a scavenging convoy. My friend told me this before he died. They were obsessed with robbing other players for supplies, using all their survival coins to buy skills and upgrade themselves. As a result, their vehicles were undercooked.]
To solve this problem, they would force the robbed players to form a convoy with them and use other players' vehicles to store supplies.
Later, when you have more supplies, you can upgrade the cart carrying the meat pig in the middle to earn rare resources from the newbie gift pack.
[Wouldn't it be simpler to form a crew? If you don't form a crew and just let others follow you, what if they run away?]
The convoy consisted of our own people at the front and back, with pigs for meat in the middle. This is a train, not a car; it needs rails. If we were to form a team, the team agreement would guarantee the basic benefits of each member.
For the pork truck convoy, one disadvantage of teaming up is that you won't get the newbie gift pack. Secondly, if pushed to the limit, players can choose to reclaim their carriage slots after someone dies.
Forming a team involves members relinquishing their own locomotive, with the conductor receiving a carriage slot as a gift. This slot can be reclaimed or given to the conductor upon the member's death.
The "meat pig caravan" (a term referring to a large, organized convoy of vehicles) has a large number of members and gathers supplies quickly. They can also continuously plunder. Therefore, they have a surplus of basic resources. This time, it seems the "meat pig caravan" is upgrading their last level 0 train to level 1 to get the newbie gift pack. Otherwise, how can they survive three worlds with just level 0 newspaper shells and a bit of righteousness?
