National Juggernaut

Chapter 795
A long voyage is an adventure, and the risks not only exist in the encounters on the way, but also in the preparations on one's own side.

In this era, the danger of the ocean is, in a sense, inevitable. Dimensional earthquakes do not only exist on land, but the ocean, which occupies more land, connects countless worlds.

And because human beings are not aquatic creatures, most of the area of ​​"Mercury" is the reality of the ocean, which also means that most of the gates of dimensional space are always open.

"The ocean of this world is, in a sense, a kind of chaos pot, a scroll of hell where only the strong can survive."

Most of the inhabitants of the linked worlds, voluntarily or involuntarily drawn into this world (circle), are fighting for survival.

The divine giant beasts on land will attract the hunters of the hunting gods, and the divine giant beasts in the sea will only regard each other as more valuable prey.

In fact, apart from some carbon-based fish in the offshore, there are no normal aquatic organisms in the depths of Mercury's ocean for a long time.

".According to the current records, there are at least 27 species of intelligent creatures that can communicate in the ocean, but they may become extinct at any time, and at least [-] species have not been witnessed for a hundred years."

With professional veterans leading the way, Zheng Li can also add a little "common sense" by the way.

".According to them, the ocean of this world is like a black forest full of dangers. Once discovered by a powerful hunter, they may die suddenly at any time. In the area where there is no help around, they encountered a group of sea monsters comparable to the gods."

The long years have caused countless internal competitions in the chaos pot in the ocean. No one can close the countless plane gates. Countless sea creatures, giant creatures, and strange monsters in countless worlds have accumulated in the ocean. Not only did that piece of sea become a restricted area for life, but it also made most of the offshore areas of the mainland a disaster area that could suffer disaster at any time.

Crossing the sea requires not only strength, but also luck. No one can be sure whether they will encounter a group of sea monsters that they cannot resist. Back then, Scorpio encountered danger when crossing the sea, and almost fell asleep in the ocean.

The first black expedition also lost a lot of troops in the ocean. This is the trend that most ships operate in groups. After all, monsters in the ocean may not have brains, but they have the instinct of creatures to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages However, in the face of human ships with millions of troops, they will still weigh their own strength.

"This time, it will be much safer. After all, there is no ship that can compare with this one."

The mountains spread before the eyes, and the familiar Twin Cities stopped silently, just like a piece of the scenery.

All the openings of the city are opened, a large number of vehicles are coming and going, a huge amount of resources are coming in and out, the outer legions have entered in an organized way, and the residents who desire a peaceful life choose to move out.

This time, even the Twin Cities, who have experienced countless battlefields, are not sure of returning safely. Considering the risks and consumption during the journey, it is very likely that they will not return at all.

On the other side, at the original location of the Twin Cities, in that strategic point, another big city is also under construction. The new Twin Cities are still strong, but they have lost the ability to travel freely.

Judging from another battle report, the "mobile city" that was transferred is not just the Twin Cities. There are similar mobile cities in the Western Continent and the Northern Continent that have entered the second phase of reinforcements. The Twin Cities are waiting for more than just It's reinforcements and resources, and another mobile city to the east.

Contrary to most people's understanding, the danger of sailing is not just a random number.

Medium-sized fleets are the most dangerous. They will attract small fish and giant beasts, while small-scale ships can travel through the ocean with luck, or they may be turned over and shot into the bottom of the sea by giant beasts.

A huge ship of a certain size may attract giant beasts that cover the sky, but it also lacks a lot of "little thieves" along the way. After all, small thieves and big thieves are commonly used, but national thieves are indeed rare.

In fact, the real danger is the endless predators. They will exhaust the resources of the fleet and drag the tired and lonely ships into the water. For a large fleet, one or two super monsters can Try to repel, and most of the time you won't be really unlucky to encounter. The giant beast should also weigh whether it is cost-effective to provoke a monster that is bigger than itself.

Now, when a super fleet composed of at least two mobile cities is formed, the risk of crossing the sea has been greatly reduced, which has also caused more recruits and quasi-mythical combat forces to try to join this expedition.

After all, in a sense, when the Southern Continent became the core battlefield, the other continents naturally became the rear safety zone. There are many fighters eager to make contributions in any era, let alone "fame" and "honor". "It can be turned into a real mythical power, and the power itself is not only linked to wealth and status, but also linked to the life and longevity that human beings most desire.

"Now all the big cities are promoting the heroes on the front line. As long as they can survive, myths are only one step away. Quasi-myths only have a lifespan of 200 years. Peak myths can live for 400 years. It is said that there are super myths at the top. It's been nearly a thousand years."

Longevity, wealth, status, and honor all attract young sword masters to become warriors, drawing them into dangerous battlefields one after another.

But at the moment, the sudden increase in volunteers brought about by this unexpected increase in "safety" has brought new troubles to Zheng Li and his party.

".Land prices and housing prices have risen? What's the matter?"

Just like the war 20 years ago, living in a fortress city followed the Twin Cities into the war zone, and participating in continuous battles in the wild, that is a completely different level of security.

Zheng Li's Peace Corps actually has camps and industries in the Twin Cities, as well as a new biomedical sales company and supporting factories.

He originally wanted to bring people directly into his private land, safe but at ease. After the calculation, the area of ​​the industrial area purchased over the past ten years was not small, but it could no longer keep up with the expansion of the Peace Corps. Now due to the large number of The number of active forces joining the camp increased sharply again, and the original barracks did not work at all.

Originally, it was not expected to be a big problem. Whether it was buying a house or renting a house, it was actually a trivial matter, but soon, Zheng Li realized that he was too naive.

"I thought it would be enough to increase the price by 50% to 80%, and he can directly increase it by ten times!"

"You are good, the core area has increased by 120 times in two months."

Zheng Li originally suspected that some bastards were manipulating housing prices to make a fortune for the country, but after investigating with some departments, they found that this was purely market behavior.

It turned out that although many citizens who longed for peace left the city, more "outsiders" chose this city.

"Competitors for buying a house are not only from the six cities of the Revival Alliance, but even most of the big cities in the Eastern Continent? Among these people are quite a few mythical bosses and peak combat power, and some of them have years of savings and battle groups Settling in, they have plenty of money, so naturally they won't wrong themselves."

At this moment, Zheng Li suddenly understood.

The mobile fortress is not an out-of-print big city, but there are only two such super-scale mobile cities in the Middle East during this expedition.

Since it is going to be a long-term battle, safety and living comfort need to be prepared. If you take the big guys from the entire Eastern Continent as competitors, the current 120-fold increase in housing prices may not be a ceiling.

"Buy, buy, buy, if you don't buy it, I'm afraid it will be even more hopeless."

When he realized this helpless reality, Zheng Li could only grit his teeth and spent ten times the original amount of money and resources to buy some houses and factories in the city center.

But soon, he didn't feel any pain at all. Within a week, the house he just bought tripled in value.

Finally, after a series of twists and turns, in the second month after the new camps and factories of the Peace Corps began to operate, the huge mountains slowly moved towards the other side of the sea.

The second expedition, the Titanfall campaign, officially begins.
