Chapter 4 Survivors (Top)
Translator: SumTLMan
The main feature of the Lord of the End game is there are a wide variety of buildings, some of which aren’t used for functional reasons at all. Before the outbreak of the doomsday, he still hadn’t completed construction of all the buildings available on the building list.
Tang Yu opens the building list. Included are the core buildings, resource buildings, military buildings, defence buildings and special classed buildings. All of which require source crystals and the corresponding resources, such as wood, stone, and so on.
In the beginning, while establishing the Lord’s Castle, Tang Yu believes he picked up the castle cheaply. At least he doesn’t need to carry over a bunch of materials. If Tang Yu was really required to bring over materials, he would involuntarily shiver just thinking about it.
At this time, the only territorial building on his list is still the Lord’s Castle. No other building has been built.
Tang Yu first opened the core building list. Core buildings are the most important buildings in the territory. There is none on his list at the moment. Other types of buildings don’t have a limit on the total number of buildings. However, different core buildings, no matter how high-level the territory becomes in the future or how wide the range of the core building functions, will always remain as first-order buildings.
There are four kinds of core buildings: Pub, market, workshop and research institute.
The pub can recruit followers. Cost: 200 units of source crystal, 100 units of wood.
The market can buy resources, blueprints, and even rare items. Cost: 300 units of source crystal, 100 units of wood.
The workshop can manufacture equipment and items. Cost: 500 units of source crystal, 100 units of stone, 100 units of iron.
The research institute can improve or even develop blueprints. Cost: 1,000 units of source crystal, 100 units of wood, 100 units of stone, 100 units of iron.
Although the research institute is a core building, its prerequisite for construction must be for the territory to be a second-level territory. That is to say, the core territory castle needs to be raised one more level… Of course, when Tang Yu sees the price to construct this core building, he immediately loses his desire to build it.
Although the other buildings are a little cheaper, at this time, he doesn’t even have the minimum 100 units of source crystal. He can’t even afford to construct the cheapest buildings on the first order building list.
To him, this doesn’t seem very user-friendly. Tang Yu feels a sense of urgency. His previous shelter had been attacked by a demon wave, which proves that although this place is so far from the abyss rift, it still wasn’t safe. It’s impossible to know when the next demon wave will arrive. This time, there isn’t even a decent line of defence. Even with No. 1 and No. 2, no matter how powerful they are. Tang Yu will also feel the danger in facing an endless stream of demonized beasts.
The development of his territory must be done immediately!
At this time, the sky was still hazy, like a veil of silver. Suddenly, the eastern sky began to emerge a flash of white, lighting up half night sky. The orange morning glow sprinkled earth, also illuminating the lands below. Looking at this scene, one can see the many scattered ruins everywhere.
This looks so bad!
When Tang Yu went out, he dares not say he is still a lord, given the state of his territory.
“I’ve got to at least set my small goals first. I have to at least develop the territory to the scale of a first-order town.”
Last night, Tang Yu slept enough, his energy and physical strength had recovered to their peak.
He began leading No. 1 to clean up the nearby demonized beasts.
In the evening, several more demonized beasts gathered in the territory, all of which have come from the nearby area. When Tang Yu got up in the morning, he found a corpse lying at the gate of the castle.
The demonized beasts within the territory are easily dealt with. No matter how big or small, even if some are good at hiding, there was no hiding under the system map. These demonized beasts will soon be quickly solved by No. 1.
Tang Yu found a tourist map of a scenic spot. This is the first class resort villa after being converted into a shelter, even though the basic design remains the same. Tang Yu’s eyes rested on the edge of the central square of the scenic spot, where a hotel was located nearby. Before the doomsday, this was said to have been a fairly good hotel.
The former hotel before the doomsday has a cold storage area. After the establishment of his previous shelter, it had become the food storage centre for that shelter. Even if Tang Yu has never walked into this hotel, he clearly knows the importance of that place when he first arrived at the shelter. He heard many people mention that what they longed for the most was to go in and take a good look at what was in the cold storage area. They wanted to see whether it was same as in legends, that there is a mountain of food piled up.
Tang Yu doesn’t believe there is a mountain of food, but he does believe there is food in this hotel!
Tang Yu makes the hotel his next search focus in order to store more food. Even if there are no survivors competing with him, but if this place was left alone, what if it was destroyed by the demonized beasts?
Tang Yu’s heart ached when he remembered that many of the food he had found before had been ruined by the demonized beasts.
…………
At this time, in the hotel’s underground cold storage area.
Several people who survived the first demon wave had expressions of horror on their faces.
The man at the front, holding a gun in both hands, fired several shots with a bitter expression on his face.
There, a scarlet, six-legged, two-meter-high demonized beast was slowly nibbling away at a corpse in its jaws.
When the bullets hit the scarlet demonized beast’s fur, there were several metal pings of bullets bouncing off. It shows the demonized beast wasn’t hurt by this attack at all. The scarlet demonized beast was still nibbling away at the corpse in its jaws, completely ignoring the attacker.
Witnessing this scene, Chen Haiping was in complete despair.
The survivors behind him trembled while their faces became even paler. Just now, a survivor who could no longer bear the pressure took off in a mad dash. At this time, half of their body was bitten into pieces and held in the jaws of the demonized beast. The others who saw this became too scared, no longer daring to make a move.
Chen Haiping was a little better when facing this situation, after all, he is an awakened one who has fought against demonized beasts. He can at least still calmly think during this moment. However, no matter what he is thinking, he can’t find any way to survive at present.
The scarlet demonized beast is truly terrible. The bullets from the pistol aren’t powerful enough to cause lethal damage. This is also the first time he’s seen bullets bounce off like this.
The demonized beast didn’t move, and Chen Haiping also dares not take the lead to try and escape. Whether it’s in terms of speed of the scarlet demonized beast while attacking the survivors or the original force shown when the demonized beast tore open the door to the cold storage area. It was clear to him the strength of this demonized beast is far greater than his own. He’s afraid that even the most powerful awakened one in his shelter may be no match for this demonized beast.
He didn’t move but replaced his empty pistol with a sharp military machete. The blade is cold and sharp, even though he knew he was no match for it. Chen Haiping didn’t want to sit back and wait for death to come. Even if he dies, he at least wanted to cut off a piece of flesh from the other side!
The scarlet demonized beast spat out the meat in its jaws as its eyes glowed with a bloodthirsty light.
Chen Haiping grits his teeth as his blade slightly rise.
Suddenly, a boom sounds!
There was a violent vibration overhead as dust began falling. Chen Haiping’s heart was suddenly shocked. In the next moment, he actually saw the scarlet demonized beast turn around and become a red shadow. It was running to the outside of the cold storage area.
“It’s… Gone?”
The survivors were puzzled, but they really felt their lives flash before their eyes. Some of the survivors’ legs became soft as these people fell to the ground.
