Chapter 15 New Version, New Players
Because of the two places where true qi is stored, namely the dantian and the qi sea, those who cultivate domineering true qi have a much greater amount of true qi than other martial artists of the same level.
Combined with the powerful explosive force of domineering true qi, it is enough to allow those who cultivate this martial art to fight against opponents of higher levels.
"With this martial art, I can change my previous plans..."
After carefully reading through the entire "Overbearing True Qi" manual again, word for word, Li Yuan slowly closed his eyes.
……
……
Wasteland Online World.
Several days have passed since Li Yuan formed a team with Lao Bai, Fang Chang, Ye Shi, and Kuang Feng.
These days, Lao Bai and Fang Chang have been researching the manufacture of cement and bricks.
Kuangfeng and Yeshi were exploring the environment around the sanatorium and the entire wetland park, marking out available resources and potential dangers.
Li Yuan sometimes went out hunting alone, and sometimes with the manager Shuguang, to replenish the shelter's food supplies.
Finally, after Lao Bai and Fang Chang complained countless times about "not having enough manpower to do the work," the game finally received an update.
In the new version, the total number of players will increase to thirty!
In the shelter's main hall, the administrator, Shuguang, delivered a passionate and rousing speech:
"Temperatures are dropping, plants are withering, and an unprecedented crisis is looming!"
"This winter will come earlier and be more severe than usual!"
"We don't have much time left to prepare."
"From this moment on, we must seize every minute, even every second!"
"We must prepare for the cold wave before things get completely bad!"
"The mission panel has been updated, listing the necessary items, the facilities that need to be completed, and the corresponding rewards."
"Remember, only by uniting can we overcome this challenge!"
Winter is coming.
"This is fate testing us all!"
After explaining all the precautions, Dawn led the players out of the shelter and took the elevator to the surface.
The overwhelming visual impact left these new players speechless with shock.
It's not just sight; hearing, smell, touch, and even taste—every cell in their body is telling them that this is a completely real world!
"That's incredible!"
Is this really a game world?
"This game is so realistic!"
Seeing the new players so excited they were practically dancing with joy, Dawn first showed them around the various facilities at the outpost, and then began assigning tasks.
Some of them were called to help Lao Bai move bricks and repair the wall.
Another group, led by Fang Chang, went to the construction site in the northeast of the wetland park to transport raw materials for making cement.
Of course, not all players were assigned to the construction site.
Tasks such as making smoked meat jerky, tanning furs, fishing, hunting, and gathering also require human labor.
Among these new players, there is one named Garbage King whose gene sequence does not belong to the five major systems, but to the "Alien · Lizardman" sequence.
This also resulted in him not appearing as a human like other players, but instead becoming a dark green lizardman with scales and a tail.
Because he did not have the delicate hands of ordinary humans, the manager, Dawn, assigned him to the newly formed hunting team.
The hunting team, in addition to Dawn and Li Yuan, now has Ye Shi, a player with the perception skill.
After all, the population of the shelter has increased several times over, and without enough people to participate in hunting, there simply won't be enough food to go around.
After assigning tasks to the other players, Shuguang and Li Yuan set off with the other two members of the hunting team.
The group of four searched for traces of prey along the elevated highway outside the wetland park, while also exploring northwards in search of valuable targets.
Along the way, Shuguang continued to educate the newcomers about the "background".
The industrial clusters of Qingquan City are mainly concentrated in the southeast corner of the city, distributed in a fan shape along the Third Ring Road and the Second Ring Road.
The northern part, where the wetland park is located, is mainly residential, and along the road leading out of the city, you can even see many unfinished buildings.
This area has not formed a large-scale industrial cluster, but only some scattered light industrial workshops in the suburbs.
Now, most of them are covered by forests.
As nuclear war approached, the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, due to its large population and extremely low strategic value, were almost completely spared from direct attacks by strategic weapons.
However, in contrast, the massive influx of refugees brought a different kind of disaster to the area after the complete collapse of order.
Supermarkets, convenience stores, shopping malls, street-front shops, office buildings, and even every refrigerator and storage cabinet in residential buildings were quickly looted.
This is why, two hundred years later, it is unlikely that any large-scale valuable items will be found here; there may only be a few scattered "small things" hidden in corners that have not been discovered by anyone.
The group entered a former clothing store and searched carefully. They found only one box of sewing kit that was still brand new and unopened, behind a cabinet that was almost completely smashed.
Just as they were preparing to leave the store, a piercing scream suddenly came from afar, followed by two gunshots.
The group immediately took cover, hiding behind their own bunkers and cautiously looking in the direction of the sound.
Not far from them, at a street corner, under a crooked "GG" sign, a man in a gray coat lay on the ground, shot, his face filled with terror as he moved backward, blood seeping from his back and pooling on the ground.
A short while later, another figure appeared at the street corner.
This was a gunman wearing an animal skin coat, with a half-smoked cigarette dangling from his mouth and a makeshift iron pipe rifle pieced together from trash in his hand. He grinned as he walked toward the man lying on the ground begging for mercy.
Behind him was an accomplice dressed similarly.
However, this person was also holding a chain, with a mutated hyena tied to the other end of the chain.
"Raiders!" Dawn's expression changed slightly as he whispered the identities of these people.
"Is it an enemy?" Upon hearing this, Garbage-kun, who was hiding to the side, was not flustered at all, but instead excitedly rubbed his hands together.
Even Ye Shi did the same, immediately drawing the javelin he carried on his back.
These javelins are handmade, with wooden shafts and sharpened metal tips, and are among the weapons commonly used by wastelanders.
"I'll do it."
Li Yuan smiled faintly, reached out and pressed down on the two eager individuals, his expression as if to say, "Please let me enjoy this experience all to myself."
Then, he casually took two javelins and walked out of the shop at a leisurely pace.
