Chapter 16 Hidden Murderous Intentions



[Congratulations host, your territory

[Congratulations to the host, you have passed the initial upgrade test for the territory, obtained 2 buildings, and are upgrading the lord panel...]

【……】

[Congratulations to the host for killing the lv.5 Dark Wolf, and obtaining 10 beast meat gift packs, 10 anti-dark gift packs, 10 wolf skins, 100 experience points, 100 copper coins, and 1 grocery store blueprint. ]

【……】

At this moment, Zhou Bai finally understood that this sudden invasion of monsters was inevitable after the territory was upgraded, and it was a murderous intent hidden behind the prosperity.

Just when she thought that her hard work in upgrading could make the territory stronger and allow the residents to live a good life, she was dealt a heavy blow.

It was almost there, it was really almost there. If she had not formed a guard team, if she had not rescued the refugees, and had welcomed the monsters in such a relaxed and comfortable environment, the fate of the territory would have been even more miserable than it is now.

The more than one thousand territories that disappeared in the initial upgrade test were a naked lesson.

Zhou Bai couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

...

...

If she was not in a hurry, could she have put more people in the territory to give everyone more time to adapt before facing the test, so that so many survivors would not have died?

"Xiaobai, how are you?" At this time, Ding Qiurou had rushed over to check on Zhou Bai's condition. The moment she saw her daughter, she realized that something was wrong with her daughter's emotions, and her expression was a little flustered.

"Mom, I'm a little scared." Zhou Bai threw herself directly into Ding Qiurou's arms and spoke in a muffled voice. She was afraid that she could not bear the responsibility of a territory. Too many people died tragically this time, and she was still facing such cruelty.

Thinking back, the scenes of everyone having fun before the Warcraft invasion and the tragic deaths of many lively faces alternated in her mind. The warmer she felt at the time, the more heartbroken she felt when what happened later happened.

She was really afraid! She was afraid that the road ahead would be even more brutal, and she might do something wrong and cause trouble for others.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Xiaobai." Ding Qiurou comforted Zhou Bai while holding him.

At this time, Zhou Zhengping also came over, looking at the vulnerable Zhou Bai, and said directly: "Xiaobai, Dad is proud of you."

Zhou Bai listened and moved his ears.

"You did a really good job!" Zhou Zhengping continued to praise without hesitation. His daughter had suffered a setback from the game this time, so he still needed more encouragement.

He actually guessed some of it, but he didn't think Xiaobai did anything wrong. Instead, it was because of her sharpness that their territory survived this crisis.

At this time, Li Xingteng also came over. He didn't know the inside story and thought Zhou Bai was frightened. He continued with Zhou Zhengping's words: "Yes! Xiaobai! Thanks to you. If you hadn't acted decisively, more people would have died! In the future, we will all work hard to become stronger. If the monsters dare to come, let them never return. The more difficult the world is, the stronger we must be."

This incident was a blow to them, but it was their human nature to become more courageous after setbacks! Never give up!

Because there were other people around and her emotions had calmed down, Zhou Bai had already let go of Ding Qiurou. She had to admit, after just a moment, she felt her emotions had calmed down a little.

Yes! What she did was actually not wrong. It was a choice that any normal person would make.

It’s just that she didn’t expect the game to be so tricky!

With a light sigh, Zhou Bai put aside his self-blame and his eyes became firm.

Although a heavy price was paid this time, it also brought about a new growth. No one will ignore the hidden murderous intentions in this world anymore, and no one dares to relax anymore, right?

"Thank you." Zhou Bai thanked Li Xingteng.

"You're welcome." Li Xingteng accepted it.

At this time, the other shocked survivors at the scene also came to their senses one by one.

"This world is so fucked up!"

"I won't give in just like that."

"I want to live, always live, I don't want to die."

"Me too."

"Then let's work hard to become stronger! When we become stronger, our territory becomes stronger, and the monsters can no longer bully us."

“…”

What happened today made them feel very clearly the unpredictable cruelty of this world.

At this moment, the mentality of many people has changed.

They knew very well that if they still indulged in the mentality before the end of the world, only death would greet them.

Just thinking about this, many people still showed a trace of confusion on their faces.

Zhou Bai noticed it, and thinking of the reward for killing monsters mentioned in the notification just now, he reminded him directly, "It seems that the reward for killing monsters tonight has doubled!"

As Zhou Bai finished speaking, many people immediately turned their attention to their personal dashboards.

[Congratulations to the host for killing the lv.3 Dark Wolf, and obtaining 6 beast meat packages, 3 wolf skins, 60 experience points, 60 copper coins, and the Anti-Darkness Backpack blueprint.]

[Congratulations to the host for killing the lv.2 Dark Wolf, and obtaining 4 beast meat packages, 4 wolf skins, 40 experience points, 40 copper coins, and dropping the anti-black hat blueprint.]

[Congratulations to the host, ..., the blueprint for night vision glasses dropped. ]

【……】

"Fuck! The rewards tonight are really huge. All rewards are doubled, and there are also special drawings."

"I have one too. I actually got the blueprint for night vision goggles. If so, we can go out and kill monsters at night in the future!"

"I finally understand one thing: danger and opportunity coexist."

"That's right. What I gained during the whole day today can't be compared to what I gained now!"

"Having gained so much is a little consolation!"

"The game is not over yet."

"Yes, if encountering powerful monsters is necessary, then higher rewards are also necessary."

Stimulated by the dropped items, the people who were originally a little confused now became much more determined. At least the future is still full of hope. They not only want to become stronger, but also live a better life!

"By the way, it's difficult for us to collect materials for so many blueprints ourselves. Let's sell them to the territory! I believe the territory will be able to produce them soon, and then more people will buy them."

"Yes! If we didn't have the territory this time, I'm afraid we would really be finished."

"When the territory is good, everyone will be good."

"I see that the territory's fence has been repaired today. I'm afraid a lot of materials have been consumed. When you go out later, please help collect more materials for the territory. With materials, the territory can be built."

"Okay, we all agree."

"The territory is my home, and I rely on everyone to take care of it!"

“…”

At the scene, after one person started speaking, others followed suit. By the last sentence, the word "home" entered everyone's heart.

Now that their old home is gone, they only have one home left - the territory.

Zhou Bai was somewhat moved when he heard these words.

Disasters are the easiest thing to bring everyone's hearts together.

"Everyone is tired tonight, so have a good rest. Our guard team will continue to guard the territory, and we will sort out the harvest tomorrow." Li Xingteng came forward at this time.

After hearing what Li Xingteng said, many people noticed that it was already dawn outside. It turned out that they had been fighting for so long without realizing it, and many people were suddenly overwhelmed by fatigue.

"Well, let's go take a break then."

"Thank you for your help."

“…”

After many people finished speaking, they headed towards the residential areas in groups.

"You guys should go back and have a rest too! I'll arrange a few people to guard it. After a whole night of fighting, there shouldn't be any more monster attacks today." Li Xingteng took the initiative and looked at Zhou Zhengping and others and said.

"Yeah." Zhou Zhengping did not refuse, and then took Zhou Bai and the other person back.

As soon as he returned home, Zhou Zhengping asked about Zhou Bai's specific situation.

Zhou Bai directly told her the information he had obtained.

After listening, Zhou Zhengping rubbed Zhou Bai's head and said, "There are more than a thousand territories, but only two hundred failed. I'm afraid it was because we upgraded too quickly and were not prepared. But you led us through it successfully!"

As for the residents living under these territories, all I can say is it's a pity.

But this disaster is global, and all they can do is take care of themselves.

"That's right, thanks to your territory, otherwise we would all be finished!" Ding Qiurou said impatiently.

"I understand! Dad, Mom, don't worry!" Zhou Bai said seriously.

"That's good to understand." Zhou Zhengping nodded. "The construction of the territory should be done according to your own wishes. As for the upgrade, just proceed steadily and steadily. Believe in yourself!"

Zhou Bai nodded. She had to admit that her parents' support gave her a lot of courage.

“Have a good rest!”

"Um."

Then, lying on the bed, Zhou Bai looked at the control panel. Everything was being upgraded. Let's see tomorrow!

Tomorrow, she should be able to learn more about the world and then decide what to do in the future.
