Corrupted Nation

On the twentieth day of the winter month and the fifteenth day of the extreme cold wave, the temperature finally reached the lowest temperature of 71.2 degrees. At 8 a.m., Shuguang released the first message through the radio: The extreme cold wave will end at 8 a.m. on the 22nd of the winter month. The highest temperature is expected to be minus 25 degrees below zero and the lowest temperature is minus 45 degrees.

At early nine o'clock in the morning, Shuguang released the second message: There were 400 surviving players.

Suguang then released a third message: Registration for New Home will begin in five minutes, and the registration deadline is 9:08 a.m. on the 22nd. Registration requirements vary depending on the management model. The leadership system only requires the consent of the leader. Once signed up, members will be dragged into their new home even if they leave the base. In a collective system, the minority naturally obeys the majority. The base of a personal system must be agreed upon by everyone.

Dawn description: Players will select bases in the order of registration. The first method: transfer method. Directly move your base to an open space somewhere in your new home, requiring that there be no buildings on the open space. The second method: replacement method. Assuming that the safe area of ​​the old base is 1,000 square meters, it can be replaced with a base with a safe area of ​​no more than 1,000 square meters in the new home base.

Shuguang: New Home has a total of four system-recommended large bases, fifteen system-recommended medium and large bases, thirty medium-sized bases, sixty small and medium-sized bases, and one hundred and twenty small bases.

Dawn: The base and all its members who have not signed up after the time limit will enter the true hardcore mode after the end of winter.

There is no difference in the way points are calculated between Dawn: A New Home and True Hardcore modes.

Dawn: Everyone has the right to choose a new home. If you give up your rights, it is deemed to have accepted all the rules of the true hardcore mode.

Dawn: After simulation deductions, the 6-month survival rate of players in New Home is 60%. The 10-day survival rate of truly hard-core players is 20%, and the 6-month survival rate is less than two thousandths.

Dawn: I wish you all a happy game and goodbye.

Today's news was very exciting. While everyone was still digesting the information, Lin Wu jumped up first: "Did I say it? Did I say it? Why sell air conditioners? Why sell ice machines? Did I say it? Haha, Shu generation, Your routine only goes so far.”

Shanna reminded: "The focus is on the real hardcore mode."

Lin Wu said: "The more horrifying Shuguang describes True Hard Core, the more guilty it is. I choose True Hard Core." In just five seconds, Lin Wu had already made a decision. Even if the Shadows all went to their new home, he was going to True Hardcore. Without him, he just wants to compete with Shuguang.

Shitou said: "Everyone should express your opinion, time waits for no one." If you want to sign up for a new home, you must sign up quickly to grab a strong position. The individual system is the most troublesome and requires the consent of all members. For a command-based base like the Sawmill Starlight Base, just point Starlight. They were definitely the first ones to pick their spot.

However, even if you can't seize four big bases, you can just move the bases there, so it's not a big problem.

Xiaodao looked at Lin Meng: "What should I do?"

Lin Meng: "I'm communicating, and it says that the fortress agent mission will be at the end of winter. I can play as I like. You can join the base to go to a new home together, you can join the base to go to the real hardcore together, or you can survive alone. But you and I Same, no resurrecting, and I won't be able to use safehouses in true hardcore mode."

Some people were thinking, others were whispering to each other, Shitou waited for a long time and asked, "Tell me your opinion, Maya, Shana." Although Lin Wu had directly expressed his attitude, he could handle it easily, because his reason was just to argue with Shuguang. Lack of core ideas.

Maya stood up: "I personally prefer true hardcore, but I obey the majority opinion." With Maya's character, choosing true hardcore is not surprising at all, and it seems that nothing can stop her from going to danger and difficulty. However, judging from Maya's statement, she is not determined and it is okay to go to her new home.

Shana stood up: "A new home must be a new home. We have good points now. When we get to the new home, with our ability and strength, there is no problem in surviving for another two quarters. I don't agree with Lin Wu's opinion. Thinking that true hardcore is really dangerous, and not to mention the possible demise of Shadow, the risk of attrition within two seasons should be extremely high. So I support New Home."

There were no words of compromise in her words, indicating that she firmly supported the new homeland.

Shitou made a mental note of her. It would be difficult to convince Shana to change her stance. She clearly analyzed the pros and cons.

Xuedan said: "I support Shana. Real hardcore is harder than New Home, no matter how hardcore it is. At present, I haven't found Dawn to play the bipolar reversal routine. There is a saying that although Dawn is very bad, it never lies. In it No language traps were found in the information released.”

Two votes for a new home.

The next person from Xiaodao spoke: "Xue Dan and I have gone through an unbearable journey, and I know how important the shadow is to me. I am willing to challenge the true hardcore, but I respect the decision of the majority."

Xiaodao's speech obviously has no weight, and it is still two votes for New Home.

Su Shi: "As a support staff, I will definitely choose a low difficulty level because of my unique talents. I don't want to be a burden to everyone."

Three votes for a new home.

"I can do it. A new home is a new home." After Lin Meng finished speaking, seeing Lin Wu looking at him, he couldn't help but said: "It's okay to be really hardcore." Being angry, angry with yourself, why should you be afraid of him?

After Lin Meng finished speaking, everyone looked around. Shana: "Stone?"

Shitou smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that I would be the one to die the most. I chose the really hard core."

Shi Shi's attitude was beyond everyone's expectations. Although the attributes of stone are not bad, as a Zhan Wu Zha with extremely low combat level, he actually wants to go to the real hard core.

Shana asked: "Stone, do you think it's easier to be really hardcore?"

"No, I agree with you. I think it will definitely be difficult to be really hardcore." Shitou was silent for a moment and said: "The past two months... How should I put it? The first is Lin Wu. I particularly like Lin Wu's courageous character. Although It’s brainless, but it’s really fun. I’m doing okay in the Blue Star business, but I miss the successful period when I wasn’t making money every day and selling cars and wine. What I miss is the entrepreneurial period when I had nothing.”

Shi Shi: "I'm only thirty-five years old. I think I'm very young. Although you sound like an old guy and sound like an uncle. But I really feel that I'm still young. Yes, my action reactions are not as good as yours. In fact, in reality I I’m also clumsy, I’ve been bad at crafts since I was a kid.”

Shitou didn't seem to know what to say. He stood for a long time before saying: "I divorced my ex-wife because I saw the difference at first glance. I was very happy when I was selected to immigrate. It's like playing a game. You already know the plot and you have the ability to pass the level. Everything after that is boring.”

Shitou waved his hand, thinking that he had not expressed clearly. He thought for a while and said: "If I lose the courage to challenge even one game, I can already see the rest of my life after arriving on earth. It can only be the wealth exchanged with points. Invest and live in retirement.”

Shitou: "The hardcore mode is no longer interesting to me. I never showed it because I knew you couldn't understand that an old man, an uncle, and a scumbag actually had the courage."

Shitou: "Unlike you, you are young and beautiful, with infinite good times. As an old man, the older you get, the more you can feel the ruthlessness of time, very fast, time is very fast. What I am most afraid of is not losing wealth, but losing courage. Of course, I’m not saying you’re wrong, your choices are very rational and your logic is very clear, but it’s me who is being emotional.”

At this point, Shitou was at a loss for words and said, "I choose to be really hardcore."

After hearing these words, Lin Meng felt a little distressed and said: "Uncle, you may not survive ten seconds." Before signing up, Shitou can leave the shadow and form his own base to participate in true hardcore. Lin Meng's tone and attitude showed that she was convinced by Shi Tou, and she supported Shi Tou's challenge to the real hardcore, but she knew very well that Shitou might not survive long in the real hardcore mode. Even Lin Wu couldn't survive alone for long.

"Ten seconds is ten seconds." Shitou said: "I really think you should go on together and don't imitate me. I have enjoyed all kinds of luxurious life. I never worry about losing my wealth. I only worry about losing my courage. But you have to keep going, because in your future, you will find that money is really important."

In the silence, Maya spoke first: "Money is not important to me either, because I have a system. If you insist, Shitou, I can accompany you."

Lin Meng raised his hand: "I also have a system, I am quite an uncle."

Shitou said hurriedly: "No, no, don't give up your own future and money to support me. What's the use of having an organization? Before I got divorced, I owned a private shuttle that could travel between Blue Star and Earth in a month. Maya, you have the means to not starve to death, but you can’t live in a free apartment building if you don’t have money? You have to queue up every day to take a bus, and you have to drive a cheap car wherever you go. Don’t persuade me, and don’t follow me, I don’t accept it. You ended up losing a lot of money because of your impulse. I don't want to be responsible for anyone."

The last sentence is very lethal. Shitou will not accept anyone choosing to be really hardcore in order to support him.

Shitou added: "If possible, after the cold wave is over, can you find a way to help me get the armored vehicle back. I will exit the base first, and you will make a decision as soon as possible."

"You don't have enough manpower to open a new base, so you can't form an alliance." Lin Wu said, "Let's go to my tent base first."

Shitou: "Aren't you in a hurry to choose a location for your base?"

"There are bases everywhere. Besides, there is only one small county and two small towns in my new home. I rode the Phantom and walked around casually." Lin Wu said: "The Shadow chose the address and told me the location. If it is convenient, I will choose There are nearby buildings, so I can easily find the shadow even if it's not convenient." Brother is a person who has traveled three thousand miles on two horses.

The stone moved quickly, breaking away from the base and joining the tent base. Shitou clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Boys and girls, hurry up and sign up."

Lin Wu said: "How about we get some fuel and have a drink."

Shitou nodded: "Maya, take responsibility."

After Lin Shi left the bonfire room, Lin Wu picked up a bottle of fuel and went downstairs, saying: "Old man, there is something in this sentence about taking responsibility."

Shi Shi smiled and said nothing: "I won't tell you."

Lin Wu asked: "Could it be that Maya's goal is the Fortress Ring? That's why you reminded her not to act out of emotion."

Unexpectedly, Shitou was stunned and said, "That would be interesting." As a guard, Maya turned out to be the largest shareholder of the Earth Fortress Company.

Lin Wu wanted to speak, but Shi Shi pushed him: "Hurry up, we'll freeze to death."

…

At the bar, Shi Shi, who was the bartender, poured Lin Wu a cup of hot black tea: "Sir, why don't you get some ice water?"

"You can say this kind of thing, please pay attention to your identity." Lin Wu: "You old guy who destroys unity."

Shitou was dissatisfied: "How to destroy unity? I just want to do what I want to do at the end of the game. Or do you think I want to farm? Sitting on a chair for an hour every day like a fool? This is called work, and it is what society treats you. Requirements, going to real hardcore is retirement, my reward for myself.”

Shitou poured himself a cup of Coke: "You young people claim to be unconventional, but you have never jumped out of the social diving rules. If you resist your boss, you think you are a new human being. But you don't even understand what self is. Self is not subject to others. It’s a stubborn emotion that makes you pay for your own actions.”

Shitou said: "When more than 99% of people think your behavior is wrong, and social and family pressure puts you under total pressure, can you still stand firm and stick to your heart?"

Lin Wu: "Since so many people are against it, maybe it's wrong."

Shitou said: "Many people still think that Blue Star is a plane. Everyone thinks they are very ignorant. I also think they are very ignorant. You think that choosing a true hard core with my ability is suicide, which is incomprehensible. The two are Isn't there no difference? Lin Wu, the most important thing is not how long I can live in the real hard core, or whether I live well or not. It is whether I dare to pursue a slim hope that even I don't believe in. "

Shitou: "For example. At my age, shouldn't I believe in everlasting love? I have experienced it personally and learned from books. I know that there is no long-term love, there is only running-in between husband and wife. Family affection and appropriateness and inappropriateness. But I believe in love. You would say that you, a capital vampire, would believe in simple and beautiful love. It’s so funny.”

Shitou said: "Although I don't have it around me, although I haven't seen it or found it, even if there is no long-term, pure and beautiful love in the entire Blue Star, I still believe that there is, and it exists, and I may be the lucky one."

Lin Wu: "It goes against the logic of human thought. Just like you said that Blue Star is a plane, it goes against the basic facts."

Shitou smiled and said: "Let me ask you a question. Are you 100% sure that I will never survive in the true hardcore mode and survive until the end of the game?"

Lin Wu was startled: "Of course it's not 100%, everything is possible."

"Everything is possible, that's very well said. I believe in love, everything is possible."

Lin Wu nodded: "Life is so nourishing, you can hold on until you are full."

Shitou said: "It kind of means that." It's like going to the deep sea to see the Titanic submarine. How beautiful can a sunken ship be? So why do passengers risk going to the deep sea? In addition to mistrusting bad people, another reason is that this journey is an experience that no one else has, a unique experience that belongs to a very small number of people.

Lin Wu: "From the bonfire room to here, I think your words are very fragmented. Have you never considered this issue, so your words are difficult to cohere, and you do not express your meaning clearly."

Shitou admitted: "Yes, I have never thought about it in detail. But after seeing the choice between true hardcore and New Home, my soul told me that New Home is a reskinned hardcore mode. It is so boring that I can even See the finale. True hardcore is full of unknowns and challenges, and it’s not a 100% guaranteed death game.”

Shitou: "If you want me to explain clearly why I insist on being really hardcore, I can't explain it, at least for the time being."

Lin Wu nodded: "How many people do you think will be willing to go to a real hardcore with you?"

Shitou thought for a long time and said: "There should be no one except you."

"Tch, why would I go to the real hard core?" Lin Wu sneered: "My previous statement was pure nonsense."

"It just feels like you, a bitch like you, would choose the really hard core. Especially when you have your own base and are not directly constrained by the shadows." Shitou said: "The game Homeland is very fun, but no matter how fun the game is, sooner or later it will It’s boring to play, especially for people like you who have basically understood the game mechanics. You will definitely choose the unknown true hardcore instead of the reskinned new homeland.”
