Under Angor's guidance, it took them half a day to find all the new residents of the city.
However, finding them was one thing, but not everyone was rescued.
There was also a little accident in this.
The safe house was only safe for two hours. After two hours, the protection of the safe house would disappear. If there were any Zombies around, they would have the ability to rush into the safe house.
Of course, if they were lucky enough, the safe houses would still be "relatively safe" even after the protection period was over.
Most of the new residents stayed in the safe houses and didn't wander around. Ninety percent of them managed to survive until the rescue team arrived. However, there were also two who were unfortunate enough to be attacked by the Molten Corpse Men.
Even though Angor noticed it right away and tried to stop it by controlling the weather from afar, some people were still injured to varying degrees.
There were seven new residents in the two safe houses. Under Angor's guidance, four of them managed to escape unharmed. The other three, however, were still scratched by the Grindmen.
The three people who were scratched by the Grindmen all received notifications from the wonderland.
[Virus has invaded. Abnormal status. ]
[When an individual is in an abnormal status, his or her body will transform into a Grindman Corpse for 90 hours. ]
[When an individual is in an abnormal status, he or she must not leave the wonderland. ]
[After transforming into a Grindman Corpse, his or her rationality will be greatly reduced. ]
[Complete a related quest to remove the restriction. ]
[Warning: The transformation of a Grindman Corpse is irreversible. ]
Angor knew he was right. There was an abnormal virus inside the Grindmen's bodies, so they couldn't be scratched by the Grindmen. Once they were scratched, they would be inflicted with a lot of debuffs.
However, this Wonderland prompt also left a way out for these "infected" new residents.
Complete a related quest to remove the restriction.
According to the description, the restriction referred to three types of debuffs: 90 hours of abnormal status, restricted from leaving the wonderland, and lowered rationality.
Removing the restriction meant that there was a way to remove all three debuffs.
However, there were differences between the three types of debuffs. After the first two were removed, the new residents would still be human. However, if the abnormal status lasted for more than 90 hours, they would become a Grindman Corpse. Even if the debuffs were removed, they would no longer be human.
This was because the transformation of the Corpse Grinder Clan was irreversible.
At most, he could be considered a … rational Mortician.
Of course, there was also the possibility that Angor was wrong. After becoming a Necromancer, even if the restriction was removed, he might not be able to regain his sanity.
However, no matter how he interpreted this Wonderland prompt, the final point must be to "complete the relevant mission."
However, what this so-called "relevant mission" was, the Immortal Land's prompt did not mention. Perhaps it was a main quest, or perhaps a side quest that existed in this instance dungeon?
Therefore, even though the Wonderland prompt gave the injured new residents hope, it wasn't much.
As the three infected fellows were unable to leave, they could only stay within the instance dungeon.
However, in this city, other than the three of them, there were two other people who stayed behind.
The two of them were not infected. They stayed for different reasons. One of them was the brother of the infected. In order to protect this remaining family, he was unwilling to leave. The other was unwilling to leave. He believed that the "World's Day" Instance Dungeon was a place of opportunity.
He was not strong, but he had a great mind for strategy. When the safe house's safety time was up, he took the initiative to leave the safe house. By observing in the dark, he knew that the Grindstone Corpse was searching for people by sound and smell. So, with some tools that he found, he set up a trap and successfully killed the Grindstone Corpse, starting his hunting journey.
When Laplace found him, he had accumulated more than 100 credit points and activated the "pointer" function. Also, he obtained a long-range crossbow, which increased his efficiency in killing Grindmen.
He refused to leave the Wonderland and planned to continue his hunt here.
Since he could find the exit by himself with the pointer function, and he did not want to leave, Laplace respected his decision and allowed him to stay.
In summary, there were seventy people in this city. Sixty-five of them chose to leave. Of the remaining three, two chose to stay because they were infected.
However, this was the only city. There were three cities in the World's Day Instance Dungeon, and five of them fell into another city.
These five people were even more interesting.
They originally thought that these five people were unlucky and were randomly assigned to the other two cities. However, when Laplace and Gleipnir came looking for them, they discovered that these five people were very special. They were not infected, but all of them refused to leave.
If the new resident who was unwilling to leave could be called an "opportunist", then this person was now the "opportunist".
These five people were respectively the "Battle Maniac", "Thief", "Hero", "Schemer", and "Court Wizard".
The "Battle Maniac" was unwilling to leave because he did not pursue a peaceful life in Rabbit Town. What he wanted was an endless battle and an endless life.
The "Thief" was unwilling to leave because she found many valuable treasures on some Grindmen. It was her belief that a thief would not leave empty-handed. Since she was here, she must not leave empty-handed.
The "Hero" was unwilling to leave because he was not a Hero in the outside world. Only in this world full of danger did a Hero have value.
The "Schemer" was unwilling to leave because he was looking for the conspiracy behind this Grindman Carnival. He had a premonition that there must be amazing benefits behind this conspiracy. The "Schemer" and the "Opportunist" were generally the same. They stayed for opportunities.
The "Court Wizard" was the most special. Rather than calling him a Wizard, it was better to call him a Chemist. He was good at all kinds of small tricks in the name of magic but in reality, chemistry. He stayed because Rabbit Town did not have what he wanted. As for the Grindman World, although it was broken everywhere, there was something he desired here.
These five people who clearly had "personalities" were sent to another city. Perhaps the Wonderland dungeon had discovered their uniqueness and gave them special care?
In short, these five people refused to leave.
And each of them had their own methods. It was very easy for them to get more than a hundred points.
As long as they could get more than a hundred points, they would be able to leave freely after activating the pointer function. Therefore, their choice was also respected.
In the end, 65 of the 75 people left. Of the remaining people, other than the three who were unfortunately infected, the rest were alive and kicking.
All in all, this rescue was very successful.
As for the three infected people, Laplace and Glepnir could not do anything about it. They could not stay here and look for "related quests" for them.
As for the other seven people, Angor ordered them to look for "related quests".
This was not only to help the others, but also to help themselves. After all, they had to stay in the Wonderland dungeon and come into contact with Grindmen. If they accidentally got infected, they would have to find a way out.
After making arrangements for everyone, Angor and the others left this absurd and crazy Grindman World.
…
"What should we do with her?" Glepnir, who returned to the outside world, pointed at the giant mushroom where Mushroom Concubine lived and asked in a low voice.
Mushroom Concubine was still unable to communicate. Glepnir did not ask because he was worried about Mushroom Concubine. It was because Mushroom Concubine was the source of the mycelium.
The mushroom would be a big problem if it stayed here.
The mycelium had stopped spreading, but Glepnir did not forget that the mycelium exploded not long ago and occupied five floors of the building.
If the mycelium spread out several more times, Rabbit Town would be doomed.
Laplace also frowned. She was also very concerned about Rabbit Town. The exit of Silver Coral Island existed because there was a gathering place here. If Rabbit Town disappeared, the exit of Silver Coral Island would be closed as well. How could she go fishing then? No, not fishing. Where could she find such a perfect beach to sunbathe?
Angor was not surprised by Glepnir's concern. However, he was surprised that Laplace was concerned. Still, he did not ask.
"Don't worry. I took some time to check the general situation of the World Grindman World's entrance while I was in the dungeon.
I still need to find out more about the inside of the dungeon, but I've already learned something about the outside world … "
Based on the information he obtained, Angor obtained three pieces of accurate information. First, the World Grindman World was triggered by a mushroom, and the trigger condition was "mushroom and a survivor".
"Mushroom" referred to any mushroom. As long as it appeared in the Dream Crystal, half of the trigger condition would be met.
"Survivor" referred to the participants of the dungeon. The survivor did not have to be a human. Other sentient creatures would also work.
The new resident on the 18th floor brought back a mushroom from Silver Coral Island, which fulfilled two conditions. Thus, the Wonderland dungeon appeared.
Second, the special NPC, Mushroom Concubine, was in an "abnormal state". To communicate with her normally, Angor had to complete a quest.
Also, this "quest" was well hidden. Angor did not find any clues about it. It was probably something similar to Uriel's letter, which belonged to Schrodinger's cat. Angor did not know what kind of quest the "Wonderland Authority" was before he triggered it.
As for the third, it was related to the current situation. The mushroom's way of pulling people in was to touch the mycelium. The mycelium needed special energy to spread, and the source of the energy was related to "swallowing people".
The reason why the mushroom was able to spread to five floors in such a short time was that it had already swallowed 75 people, which gave it enough energy.
Now that it had no one to swallow, the mycelium could no longer spread after it ran out of energy.
As long as the other residents of Rabbit Town did not try to touch the mushroom, it would be safe even if it stayed on the 18th floor. Even if someone tried to kill it, the mushroom would still need to swallow at least a thousand people in order to have enough energy to spread out of Rabbit Town.
It was understandable for one person to seek death, but it couldn't be that everyone was seeking death, right?
This was why Angor said "don't worry" to them.
Gleipnir sighed in relief after hearing Angor's explanation. "It doesn't have enough energy to spread its mycelium, but for safety's sake, let's seal the bunny building first."
"I agree," Angor said, "But we don't have to seal it. We just need to set up a threshold."
"An unknown Wonderland Instance Dungeon might have some deceptive mechanisms."
But a known and controllable Wonderland dungeon is the best place to get resources. "
"The new residents are not all children of the ivory tower. Maybe some of them are willing to take the risk. So, just control it. No need to seal it. If someone's constitution and fighting instinct meet the requirements, they can be allowed in. "
As far as Angor was concerned, both unknown and known quests were great opportunities for him.
Since they chose to become new residents, they had to adapt to the world on their own.
They did not want the world to adapt to them.
Protecting the world too well might not be a good thing … Of course, if a great civilization was born here, and the civilization was reasonable, the leaders had wise plans, the pillars had responsibilities, and the strivers had goals, then perhaps they could change their attitude and try to change the world.
But it was not time for that yet.
Gleipnir considered and didn't say anything against Angor's suggestion. It was a tacit agreement. Sealing the treasure was not the best solution.
Now that they had a plan, the rest was much easier.
These follow-up matters, including the rearrangement of the new residents and the regulation of the building, were all handed over to Gleipnir.
These were all the aftermath of "World's Grind". The situation inside the "World's Grind" was already known, so it was easy to deal with.
The only problem now was the overall planning and management of the resources.
The resources taken from Silver Coral Island or World's Grind could lead to the birth of a new Wonderland dungeon. As a result, even though Rabbit Town was clearly in dire need of new resources, the new residents were now fearful of the resources they were seeking.
Gleipnir had to find a way to form three new teams: "Resource Management Team", "Resource Coordination Team", and "Resource Experiment Team".
The most important one was the "Resource Experiment Team". The resources taken from the dungeons had to go through various tests and records to ensure that no new Wonderland dungeon would be created. Only then could they be used to build the town.
However, not many people were willing to join the "Resource Experiment Team". Gleipnir was a little disappointed, but he accepted it in the end.
After all, those who chose to join the new residents were those who did not want to face "death" in the real world.
If the new residents died in the Dream Crystal Plain, they would die for real. It was understandable that they were afraid.
It was not hard to solve this problem. He just needed to find someone who could log off and join the "Resource Experiment Team".
Although there weren't many people who could go offline now, it wouldn't be long before there would be a lot of people like that … After this gathering of the various races, perhaps there would be a huge increase in population, and then there would be many people who could be used then.
