Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

After drawing the prize, Shi Anan finally had the mind to look at the new task. Although she was mentally prepared, she still gasped when she saw the number of people required for the new task.

Fifty thousand people! This is not the modern world with billions of people. When she was still in Shifu, in order to integrate into this dynasty more quickly, she read the history of the founding of the Tianqi Dynasty.

When the dynasty was first established, the population dropped sharply due to various wars, and there were only about 1500 million people. After a hundred years of development, the dynasty had the largest population during the Tai'an period, but this maximum number was only 8000 million, which is completely incomparable to the country with a population of more than one billion that Shi An'an once had.

Qinghe County is a remote and lower-class county with a population of only about 50,000 at its peak. If Guangming Town is to be upgraded to Guangming County, the hard requirement is to reach this 50,000 population.

If it was before this natural disaster, it would have been easier to gather the enough people, but now people are running away or dying, how can she gather 50,000 people here?

In comparison, Shi Anan felt that the other hard requirement, upgrading all skills to level 30, was not that difficult.

After all, skill experience points can be accumulated slowly and upgraded, but she can't conjure up this person.

It seems that this task cannot be rushed for the time being. Fortunately, the system has not set a time limit for her. She should develop Qinghe County first.

After reading all the tasks and rewards, Shi Anan was ready to activate the protective shield. She first opened the system map. The terrain of Qinghe County is a long strip if you look down. If the protective shield is allowed to expand on its own, it will definitely not be able to cover both ends.

Fortunately, Shi Anan selected the self-selected area attributes, and can manually set the direction of the protective shield coverage.

She used her mind to draw on the map, selecting the entire Qinghe County and the area where Qinghu Lake connected to the opposite bank. This way, it would just connect with the area covered by the previous protective shield, turning the areas that Shi Anan was going to develop in the future into safe construction areas.

After setting up and clicking confirm, the people of Qinghe County saw the miracle that the villagers of Guangming Village had once seen.

"Golden light! There is golden light!" The people in the safe zone were suddenly excited and all ran out to watch the light golden protective shield in the sky slowly spreading.

"What, what is this?" Doctor Sun and others were also startled by the noise outside and saw this astonishing scene. Even though he had lived for so many years, he could not explain this phenomenon.

Doctor Li smiled and said, "This is a miracle."

"Brother Li, do you know what's going on?" After fighting side by side for some time, the doctors had become much more familiar with each other. When they heard what Doctor Li said, they all asked curiously.

"This thing is called a protective shield. The reason why our Guangming Village is called God's Village is precisely because of the existence of this thing. The protective shield can greatly improve our safety. It seems that Qinghe County has also been blessed by God."

"This, is this actually true? Are there really gods?" Doctor Sun couldn't believe it. Although he had heard a lot about Guangming Village from people who came from Guangming Village before, these things were completely beyond their understanding, so they were skeptical.

But now that they had seen it with their own eyes, they could not help but believe it.

One of the doctors sighed: "I really want to go to Guangming Village to see what kind of place it is."

Unfortunately, there are still many things to do in the county and they cannot leave for the time being. Moreover, to go to Guangming Village, they have to cross Qinghu Lake first, which is not an easy task.

Doctor Li comforted him, "There will be a chance."

The opportunity will come soon because Shi Anan is about to build a cross-lake bridge.

She had originally thought about whether she should explain the matter to the people before the construction to avoid causing panic. But she found that when she activated the shield, the people of Guangming Village had already rationalized the matter. Now the people of the county are like pilgrims, thinking about going to Guangming Village to pay homage one day.

Shi Anan was naturally regarded as a messenger of God by them. However, the people of Guangming Village enthusiastically told these people that she did not like her true identity to be discovered, and that she was experiencing the world as a mortal, so everyone should not mention it directly to her face, and just pretend not to know.

So, Shi Anan looked at these people and thought they hid their emotions very well, but in fact, it was a bit funny to see their wandering eyes every time they looked at her. She was really grateful for the explanation from those enthusiastic people.

Therefore, under such circumstances, no matter what earth-shattering things Shi Anan does, these people should be able to justify themselves and convince themselves.

However, before building the cross-lake bridge, it still needs to be announced in advance, otherwise everyone may not know what it is used for.

In addition, after the protective shield is activated, the area within the protective shield automatically becomes a construction zone. That is to say, Qinghe County is no longer a temporary construction zone and can enjoy normal experience bonuses.

Shi Anan pulled out a loud speaker and said, "Hello, hello, everyone. I'm Shi Anan. I have two things to announce now. I'll take up a little of your time."

"1. Effective immediately, Guangming Village will be upgraded to Guangming Town. If the people of Qinghe County wish to register as residents of Guangming Town, they will be subject to the population management regulations of Guangming Village."

"2. To facilitate communication between the people of Guangming Town and Qinghe County, the Qinghu Bridge will be completed tomorrow for passage. Please do not panic if you hear or see anything at that time."

As these two notices were broadcast through the loudspeaker, everyone in the protective shield stopped what they were doing in surprise.

The villagers in Guangming Village are already accustomed to the loudspeaker announcements. They just sighed that Shi Anan was really fast and even reached a cooperation with Qinghe County. Not only were they upgraded to a town, but they would also have the opportunity to visit Qinghe County later.

The people in Qinghe County reacted much more strongly to this scene.

"Boss, did you hear any sound?" a woman asked doubtfully, she was afraid that she might be hallucinating.

"You heard it too? I thought I had heard it wrong!" The man from that house said in surprise.

"What does this mean? How come I can understand each word individually, but can't understand them together?" the woman asked again.

"I don't know either! Wait, I'll go out and ask." The man ran out of the house.

There were many people who didn’t understand like them, and everyone went to find the security team members from Guangming Town.

Yan Fei was surrounded by people from all directions, and he didn't know who to answer first because of the chattering of everyone.

Finally he yelled, "Be quiet! Listen to me!"
