Chapter 227: Blackwater City is destroyed, players suffer
Looking at Ba Shang who was furious outside the teleportation array, Qin Mo, who was still a skeleton, said: "Ten years later, it is still uncertain who will kill whom."
Qin Mo has not yet settled the account for the destruction of Blackwater City with the demon clan.
"Then I'll wait."
Ba Mian's face was gloomy. He swung the Nine-Ring Knife in his hand violently, as if in a fit of anger, and directly split the Black Water City into two halves. A crack more than two meters wide appeared on the ground.
The smoke and dust rolled, as if it was demonstrating against Qin Mo.
Qin Mo had an expressionless face as he sat cross-legged in the safe zone, practicing the secret technique of "Eight-Nine Profound Art". The flesh and blood on his body grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Ah~~~”
Lu Xueqi on the side screamed, her face flushed with shame. Fortunately, Qin Mo was her master. If it were someone else who acted like a hooligan in public, he would have been killed by her sword.
Qin Mo was calm and put on his clothes quickly.
Ba Shang's eyes narrowed outside. He didn't expect that Qin Mo's body training had reached such a level, and his body repair ability was even stronger than that of a demon like him.
He regretted even more that he had not killed Qin Mo directly.
Leaving behind disaster.
Qin Mo ignored Ba Shang and teleported away with Lu Xueqi.
“Wow~~~”
As soon as Qin Mo left, Ba Shang spat out a large mouthful of blood. It was because the injuries in his body had flared up and he could no longer suppress it. He had been holding it back in order not to embarrass himself in front of Qin Mo.
I almost got internal injuries.
…
Warring States subcontinent.
When I walked out of the teleportation array, the outside was already crowded with people.
The people who fled here from Blackwater City survived the disaster, but they looked confused, not knowing what fate they would face next.
Where to go next.
Qin Mo sighed in his heart. He never expected that in order to develop Blackwater City, so many people would be left homeless and displaced.
It is really a great sin.
The people of Blackwater City come from two main sources: one is the remnants of the Yellow Turbans from the Three Kingdoms subcontinent, and the other is the people from the Zhuxian subcontinent who came here for the name of Qin Mo, the Immortal Master.
It’s all related to Qin Mo.
Looking at the people around him who were carrying their families, the hungry children, and the wounded soldiers, Qin Mo felt a great sense of guilt for the first time.
Back then, he frantically built Blackwater City under the banner of helping the Blackwater tribe revive.
Looks noble,
In fact, when it comes down to it, it's just for that little bit of experience.
How much emotion can really be injected into it?
It was not until the disaster struck and he saw countless people being eaten by the monster that Qin Mo truly felt what kind of responsibility he had as the city lord to the people here.
This is also the reason why, facing Bashang, he still wanted to fight even though he knew he could not win.
otherwise,
I simply can't look at my inner self.
Seeing Qin Mo walk out of the teleportation array, everyone subconsciously gathered around him, as if they had found a backbone, shouting: "City Lord, the City Lord is here~~~"
They were worried that Qin Mo was eaten by the monster.
There was a commotion among the crowd.
Many elderly people knelt on the ground and expressed their gratitude to Qin Mo.
Qin Mo only felt more guilty. He suppressed the pain in his heart and pressed his hands down slightly.
Everyone fell silent instantly.
"People and soldiers of Blackwater City, I am Qin Mo. You are safe now. This is the world of the Warring States Period. The place where you are now is called Yue State, which is also under my jurisdiction." Qin Mo tried his best to calm down.
At this moment,
What everyone wants is not sad words, nor do they want to hear self-blame or guilt...
What everyone
Qin Mo gave the answer.
Boom~~~
The crowd was in an uproar again.
Although they were cheated by Qin Mo, everyone still trusted Qin Mo very much and believed what he said. As long as they could still make ends meet, no difficulties would be a problem anymore.
The people are also very easy to satisfy.
"Everyone please wait where you are. I will send someone to accommodate you. Please rest assured that you will have a place to live and food to eat soon." Qin Mo said.
"Thank you, City Lord, thank you, City Lord!"
The people were filled with gratitude and fell to their knees in large numbers.
Qin Mo's face twitched and he felt his face burning. He hurriedly gave instructions to the officials and generals of Blackwater City, then took Lu Xueqi to Longchuan City.
The back is a bit panicked...
…
Longchuan City, the residence of Baiyue Duke.
It is actually the former Nanyue Marquis Mansion, but it just has a new plaque.
Qin Mo just arrived.
Xun Yu, the administrative director on duty, came to greet him and said, "My lord, I heard that something unexpected happened in the Great Desolate Continent?"
The Shanhai tribe, where the teleportation array is located, is only a few dozen miles away from Longchuan City. With so many people pouring out at once, naturally someone would have reported it to the Baiyue Mansion long ago.
Just as Xun Yu was about to go and deal with it, Qin Mo came back.
"Yes." Qin Mo nodded. "The demons suddenly came down the mountain and wreaked havoc in the wilderness. Blackwater City has been destroyed. The more than 400,000 people outside the teleportation array are all survivors."
“…”
Xun Yu's face turned pale. He didn't expect the change to be so big.
A few years ago, Blackwater City was promoted to a medium-sized city with a total population exceeding 1.2 million. Who would have thought that an accident would destroy two-thirds of its population.
It's really horrifying.
"You can't go back to the prehistoric continent for the time being. You have to work hard during this period and settle the people of Blackwater City as soon as possible. If you need anything, just tell me directly." Qin Mo ordered.
"promise!"
Xun Yu bowed deeply.
Qin Mo waved his hands tiredly, and Xun Yu understood and quietly withdrew. He had never seen his lord so powerless, but he didn't know how to comfort him. He could only do his job well.
…
After Xun Yu left, Qin Mo went to reality and urgently transported a batch of food.
It is winter now, and Yue State is a newly developed land that has just taken half a step into agricultural civilization. Its foundation is still very weak. The challenge of resettling 400,000 refugees at once can be imagined.
The most important thing, of course, is to ensure that the people do not go hungry.
In addition to food, Qin Mo also prepared to urgently transfer a batch of cold-resistant supplies such as clothes, bedding, tents, etc. from reality to ensure that the refugees can eat well and not be frozen.
When spring comes, everything will be fine.
Not only Qin Mo, everyone got moving, doing their best and performing their duties.
Upon hearing the news, Jia Xu, who was training troops outside, rushed back to Longchuan City as soon as possible. Under the instruction of Qin Mo, he temporarily reorganized the local garrison and border troops of Heishui City who had fled here into the Longchuan City Guard.
The main responsibility is to maintain order in Longchuan City.
Little Diao Chan, who was training outside, also rushed back as soon as possible, silently taking her senior sister Lu Xueqi to settle the surviving Taoist children in the other courtyard and the native monks of Blackwater City.
Preserve the last bit of Blackwater City’s bloodline heritage.
It seemed as if the little girl had grown up overnight, saying goodbye to her previous youthfulness and ignorance.
Obviously,
This shocking event, including the death of her junior brother Zhang Liang, had a great impact on Diao Chan.
If she hadn't pestered her master to come to the Warring States Subcontinent for training, would she have survived this incident? Diao Chan didn't dare to think further, she just felt very guilty.
The dull Bai Hua could feel Qin Mo's pain, but she just watched from afar and didn't dare to go forward.
In reality,
Bai Hua directly took out 10 million of her own money, purchased a large batch of supplies, and sent them to Qin Mo's warehouse for transit, as a token of her appreciation to the people of Blackwater City.
United we stand.
…
One month later,
The chaotic situation was barely stabilized.
Longchuan City is not a big city, and there has been no thought of expanding it before. Naturally, it is impossible to accommodate more than 400,000 people at once, and they can only be temporarily resettled outside the city.
Xun Yu suggested taking this opportunity to expand Longchuan City.
Seeing that the founding of the country was imminent, Longchuan City, as a royal capital, did seem a bit shabby, so Qin Mo agreed to Xun Yu's plan to expand the city.
Among the survivors of Blackwater City, more than half were former residents of Blackwater City.
In addition to dignitaries, merchants, and workshop owners, the most important people who can live in Blackwater City are a large number of craftsmen that Qin Mo brought from Luoyang during the Three Kingdoms period.
It was also the main force in the construction of Blackwater City.
Just came in handy.
Although Qin Mo felt guilty towards the people of Blackwater City, he couldn't just leave the refugees idle like this. If they were idle for too long, internal strife would arise, and it would be difficult to manage.
It would be better to recruit them as laborers and help build Longchuan City.
It is also their new home.
…
Just as Longchuan City started its expansion project and became bustling again,
On this day,
Zhou Shihong rushed to Longchuan City.
He had long wanted to meet Qin Mo, but such a big change had happened in the prehistoric continent, and it affected not only Blackwater City, but all the territorial cities.
Qin Mo was not the only player who suffered.
Not to mention the player city lords, there were over a hundred players who were killed by monsters because they did not have time to return to the teleportation array or log off during the beast tide.
Most of them happened to be encountered when killing monsters in the mountains.
This was the largest mass death of players since the game cancelled its resurrection setting. It caused a huge shock in reality and even caused a big uproar on the official website.
Many people were so scared that they dared not enter "Honghuang" again.
Under such circumstances, as one of the main persons in charge of Tianshu, Zhou Shihong had no time to spare.
Even so, Zhou Shihong still found time to go to Longchuan City, because until now, players still haven't figured out why such a large-scale beast tide broke out in the prehistoric continent.
As Emei Mountain was closed again, the Emei disciples were no longer clear about what was going on.
The story of Qin Mo's battle against the Mahayana monster in Blackwater City had already spread throughout China through the mouths of those curious players in Blackwater City.
Being talked about with relish.
Some people also maliciously speculated that the beast tide was related to Qin Mo, which instantly pushed Qin Mo to the forefront.
Facing Zhou Shihong's inquiries, Qin Mo did not hide anything and told him everything he had heard from Li Yingqiong, including the information he had obtained from Bashang.
Zhou Shihong was also shocked after hearing this.
No one expected that the seemingly peaceful and tranquil ancient continent actually hid such risks.
"So, we can't go back in the short term?" Zhou Shihong asked.
"Of course."
Qin Mo nodded, "We still don't know whether the True Immortal Demon has awakened this time."
