A few days ago, the guards that Han Xiao had sent out contacted the wanderer settlement dozens of miles away. They stated the purpose of the sanctuary and invited the wanderers to live or work there.
They used food and smiling service to open the way, and some wanderers who were not living well agreed to move.
From afar, hundreds of wanderers saw the ten-meter-tall wall that was under construction with the words' Black Phantom Sanctuary Three 'written in red. They were all in disbelief.
"Didn't they just settle down in Graymetal Ruins a few days ago? This doesn't look like it was just started …" a middle-aged man asked hesitantly. He was asking the same question that everyone else was wondering.
Originally, they thought that since the shelter had just been established, the conditions should be very difficult. In the imagination of the rogues, the style should not be as good as their small shabby houses in the settlement. They were all mentally prepared to suffer, but reality gave them a big surprise.
"Did they spend all their time building the wall?" someone asked doubtfully.
Following the main road into the sanctuary, this doubt disappeared immediately. The wanderers were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden — it was too much for their eyes to take in.
Looking at the tall wall, neat buildings, and paved roads, no one dared to believe that this was built in less than ten days.
It took them a few days to build a wooden house!
The guards led the dizzy wanderers to their accommodation. It was not a tent or a wooden house, but a brand new bunker with many rooms. There was also electricity and water, and there were ingredients in the kitchen, so they could cook by themselves.
The huge surprise was like a charging bull, fiercely pressing against everyone's heart.
Why would this be called a sanctuary? It would be better to call it a resort!
…
"Your Excellency, we have brought back 427 wanderers. There are fifteen settlements dozens of miles away, and the total number of wanderers is about 3,500. We are negotiating with the other groups. Currently, about 300 wanderers have clearly rejected us, and the others have not said anything." Liu Chao immediately reported to Han Xiao.
Only about 400 wanderers, that was a bit too little.
The purpose of the sanctuary was to protect humans, and accepting wanderers was the biggest goal. It would be a joke if no one lived in the city after it was built.
There were very few wanderers in the Gorst Wastelands, and the wanderers who lived further away might not be willing to migrate. If they wanted people to live here, Han Xiao felt that they needed Bennett's macro-control. That was to move the refugees from other areas who were willing to live in shelters here in batches. However, this should be done after the plan matured. Right now, it was still in the early stages of construction.
Waving his hand to signal Liu Chao to leave, Han Xiao walked back to the workshop while thinking about the situation. One of the requirements of his [Sanctuary Three] main storyline mission was to have a population of forty thousand (not including the players). This was one of the requirements with the most generous rewards, and it would significantly increase the overall mission rating.
Walking on the streets, Han Xiao saw the lively scene of player activity. He knew that in order to achieve the "Player Main City" plan, there had to be NPCs living here. It would be best if they were important figures. These were all quest resources that would attract players to gather.
It just so happened that the residents were also a requirement of the shelter, which was closely linked to his plan.
"This is a long-term job," Han Xiaoxin thought.
Occasionally, players would approach him, wanting to buy equipment. Han Xiao did not mind. He would get rid of some of the useless equipment in his inventory and earn a new sum of money.
…
Back in the workshop, the refiner was still working. Han Xiao was in good condition, and he did not want to waste his good condition. He took out the parts and started to craft the Composite Compounded Split Magnetic Chain Split Blades. This time, it was much easier than before.
This time, he felt it!
The noise of the refiner echoed in the workshop. Han Xiao was not disturbed by the noise and was immersed in crafting. When the refiner stopped, he was also done with his work.
You have crafted the Composite Compounded Split Magnetic Chain Split Blades (Purple)
Class Advancement Requirement: Complete five Purple equipment with Energy Rank 60 and above. Progress: 1/5
Han Xiao let out a sigh of relief. He felt much more relaxed.
Everything was difficult at the beginning. This was the same as forgiveness. If there was a first time, there would be a second and third time. He would get used to it sooner or later.
I should be able to complete the class advancement within this month, Han Xiao thought to himself.
Without looking at the interface, Han Xiao knew the attributes of the Purple equipment by heart. Starting from the Blue equipment, the difference between the quality of the equipment would gradually increase. The basic attributes of the Purple equipment would be 20 to 30 percent higher than the Blue equipment! The Purple Compounded Split Magnetic Chain Split Blades had higher damage than the Blue equipment, and the gap between the quality of the equipment would be even bigger.
After replacing the Blue equipment with the Purple equipment, Han Xiao went to check the refiner's results.
Two tons of raw crystal ore had turned into a small pile of pure blue rhombus-shaped crystals. Each crystal was about half the size of a palm and could be held with one hand. The raw crystal was filled with ice cracks and mist-like patterns, but the purified crystal was clear and transparent. Light could pass through the crystal without any hindrance and refracted inside. It was as if there was a mini sun floating inside the crystal.
Beginner Energy Crystal: Contains pure energy with no attribute. Can be converted and extracted.
Energy Crystals were most commonly used in the Crystal Civilization and Magic Civilization. Some creatures also ate energy crystals.
Han Xiao nodded. Other than storing energy, he had not thought of other ways to use the Energy Crystals. Every profession had its own specialization, and the Mage class had more ways to use the Energy Crystals.
I'll store them first. There are some Shadow Stalker Vipers' eggs in the warehouse. I can try to cultivate them. Artificial feeding of waste materials should provide me with an additional source of energy crystals, Han Xiaoxin thought. Cultivating the eggs required a professional, and Yi Yeqing was perfect for it.
…
Late at night, the sky was filled with stars.
Stardragon Border.
The rotors created a gust of wind, and a black heavy helicopter slowly landed. The grass was blown all over the place.
Several stern-looking Stardragon Special Forces soldiers carried a person off the plane. This person was wearing a metal eye mask and a restraining gown. She was skinny, and her brown hair was dry and messy. It had not been taken care of for a long time. Her lips were pale and cracked, and the lower half of her face was soft. It was female.
"Sir, the person is here." The Special Forces soldier saluted to the officer waiting on the side.
"Confirm her physical characteristics. Don't let her wake up." Feng Jun said. He was the person in charge of this handover. This woman in the restraining gown was Yi Yeqing, a major prisoner taken out from Bell of Death Island overnight.
The team doctor said, "Don't worry, I gave her a large dose of sedatives. She's sleeping soundly now."
"Check again."
Feng Jun looked at his watch. It was almost time for the handover. He was a little nervous. He had a mission this time, and he also had to find out about Han Xiao's current situation.
He did not know who was coming for the handover, and whether or not they would give him face. Although Feng Jun knew Han Xiao, he was not confident when he thought about the Han Technician's personality.
Time passed by, and everyone waited quietly. The night wind blew gently, and the grass on the ground rustled. Occasionally, the buzzing sound of insects flapping their wings could be heard. Other than that, there was no other sound. The atmosphere became very tense along with everyone's state of mind.
Whoosh, whoosh —
The sound of a rotor slicing through the air rang out. Feng Jun's spirit was aroused, and he looked up.
In the night sky, a helicopter flew over. It lit up its indicator light and flashed a signal. Feng Jun quickly got someone to respond. After the signal was matched, the helicopter landed. Feng Jun quickly observed it and found that there was no sign on the helicopter. He did not know which faction it belonged to.
However, even if he did not know the other party's background, Feng Jun could see that Han Xiao had indeed joined another faction. His heart was heavy.
"Where is she?" A masked man walked out of the helicopter.
Feng Jun waved his hand, and the team behind him handed over Yi Yeqing. The masked man turned on the computer to check. After confirming that there was no mistake, he moved Yi Yeqing onto the helicopter. The helicopter immediately took off. The entire process only took a minute, and there was no delay at all. Feng Jun did not have a chance to communicate. He could only watch helplessly as the helicopter flew away.
Taking out his phone, Feng Jun called Gu Hui and reported.
"He really did join another faction. We can't find him. This faction should be hiding him." Gu Hui muttered.
What kind of faction was it?
…
On the helicopter, the masked man removed Yi Yeqing's metal eye mask and restraints.
Suddenly, Yi Yeqing, who was supposed to be sleeping, opened her eyes and stared at the masked man. Neither of them said a word. They just looked at each other for half a minute. Yi Yeqing lowered her head and used her fingernails to cut open the flesh on her forearm. She picked out a bloody chip listening device and crushed it into pieces.
In fact, she had not slept at all. She had been pretending all along. As a pharmacist, how could she not have trained her resistance to drugs? Sleeping pills had no effect on her. Being imprisoned on Bell of Death Island for a few years was all a disguise.
"What did they exchange me for?" Yi Yeqing's tone was calm. She did not feel that she was in danger at all. It was as if she was chatting with an old friend. However, she did not know the masked man at all.
"Some information." The masked man looked at Yi Yeqing with interest.
"Cheap," Yi Yeqing frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "You're interested in my ability to concoct medicine, right?"
"Why do you think so?" The masked man said playfully.
"Apart from this, you probably won't be interested in my other abilities," Yi Yeqing said indifferently. "After all, you're too strong."
A few days ago, when the guards on Bell of Death Island injected her with sleeping pills and brought her on the plane, Yi Yeqing knew that she had become a bargaining chip. She finally saw the light of escape.
While maintaining the disguise of sleeping, she listened to the conversation of the escorts. When she found out that there would be a handover, Yi Yeqing planned to use her own ability to escape after the handover and regain her freedom.
Yi Yeqing's ability was to control plants within a certain range, so her senses were very sharp. The masked man gave her the feeling that he was a beast hiding under human skin, as if he would pounce on her at any time. He was even more dangerous than when the special forces soldiers were always pointing guns at her head when she was escorted by Stardragon. Yi Yeqing immediately knew that there was no hope of escaping, so she gave up the idea of resisting.
"I wanted to escape, but it seems that I'm courting death," Yi Yeqing said honestly.
Han Xiao pulled down his scarf and smiled. "You're very rational."
For this handover, Han Xiao specially disguised himself and personally came by plane. He knew that Yi Yeqing was not simple. Sending someone else might cause trouble, so it was best for him to go personally.
As expected, Yi Yeqing had a backup plan. If he did not come personally, she might have escaped. Yi Yeqing's temperament was very calm. She was not surprised at all in the face of unexpected situations. She had a calmness that would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her. She looked like someone who was good at research and would never be afraid of accidents in experiments.
"What do you need me to do?" Yi Yeqing asked.
"I'll tell you when we get there." Han Xiao took out a device and scanned Yi Yeqing to see if there were any other eavesdropping devices on her. At the same time, he was thinking about how to make Yi Yeqing willingly stay in the shelter to work. Although he had temporarily intimidated Yi Yeqing, if there was a chance in the future, he felt that Yi Yeqing would not give up on escaping. He did not have the time to keep an eye on her.
