[Discovered Hellhound (Tier 3 Unit Building)]
[Condition for Occupation: Press your fingerprint on the land deed]
[Daily recruitment available after occupation: 2 Hellhounds (requires 400 gold coins)]
Current inventory: Cerberus x2
Even Lin Mo couldn't help but feel excited after seeing this information.
The game world has only been around for a few days?
In his previous life, he didn't dare to come out of his hiding place at this time, knowing nothing and understanding nothing.
In this life, he has already conquered the recruitment building for level three creatures.
Moreover, it's a top-tier level 3 creature called the "Hellhound".
Based on the kennel's output, there are two hellhounds every day. So, if the number of hellhounds is accumulated to more than ten, and then stacked into a team... goodness, Lin Mo didn't even dare to imagine that terrifying attack power.
The only problem is that you need gold coins.
In the past two days, he not only recruited skeleton soldiers, but also spent money on Hammer's cavemen. Although he accumulated quite a few by opening treasure chests, the number of treasure chests is limited after all.
He didn't want to experience the predicament of looking at various types of soldiers inside the building but having no money to recruit them.
Therefore, figuring out how to make money is the top priority going forward.
"Building a cemetery is the most urgent task. Once we have territory, we can transform into 'territory heroes,' that's the key." Lin Mo looked at the two hellhounds waiting to be recruited in the kennel and did some calculations.
Fortunately, we still had enough money, and in the end, we managed to recruit them.
He doesn't need those 400 gold coins.
After all, the boost from two hellhounds is real, and these creatures are best suited for 'guarding' and 'protecting'. When sleeping, having two beside you means virtually no one can ambush you.
He currently has 2200 gold coins, and enough wood and stone to build a level one cemetery.
According to Lin Mo's previous considerations, he planned to build his territory back in the territory of H country. However, territory is not something that can be done only once. After careful consideration, he thought it would be more suitable to build it here. After all, there is still a distance between here and the portal that can teleport back to H country, and it is necessary to "transfer" there, which takes time.
In that time, he could clear out the entire area within several kilometers.
So I will definitely go back, but not necessarily now.
While Lin Mo was searching for a suitable area to build a first-class cemetery, conflicts were also taking place in other parts of his city.
Near the city center park, there is a stable that stands out from its surroundings on what was originally an empty lawn.
In addition, there are many huge trees here, some of which are taller than the nearby apartment buildings that are more than ten stories high.
If the survivors hiding in the high-rise buildings looked out from their vantage points at this moment, they would see a scene that would shock and terrify them. The city was still the same city they lived in, but at this moment, it was as if another map had been superimposed on a huge map, like two 3D paintings pasted together.
Chaos and weirdness.
Spatial overlap.
For those survivors in certain overlapping zones, the experiences they encounter are even more mysterious and terrifying to them.
"This is God's will!" Margaret said to a man wearing a hat next to her in a medium-sized supermarket, but the latter was clearly not interested in talking to her.
In fact, anyone who knew Margaret didn't really like this somewhat neurotic woman.
In normal terms, this woman has something wrong with her brain.
He's commonly known as being a little "crazy".
A few days ago, they came to this medium-sized supermarket to shop, when suddenly a disaster struck: an earthquake, a loud noise, and a thick fog enveloped the area.
Fortunately, the area where the supermarket is located has only had its terrain refreshed, and there are no monsters from the game world. However, this is also unfortunate, because they have no idea what is happening outside.
In the few days that they adapted to the air, apart from a few unlucky elderly and weak people who died, the vast majority of customers who shopped at the supermarket survived.
At this moment, outside the one-story supermarket, the swamp was everywhere, and the thick fog seemed to cover the sky and the earth. You could not see anything more than three or four meters outside the glass window.
The dense fog cut off all communication, and people in the supermarket were gripped by panic.
Some people mustered up the courage to go out.
But as soon as they left, the people left in the supermarket saw something attacking them not far away, and bloody limbs and severed bodies even fell from the sky.
No one dared to take the risk anymore.
"This must be God's will; this is His judgment upon humanity." Margaret stared, holding a cross pendant she always carried with her. "I have heard the voice of God..."
"Shut up, Margaret, we're already pretty annoyed." Joseph, wearing a baseball cap, cursed. He had been trapped in the supermarket for the past few days, witnessed death, and faced an unknown future. He couldn't even shower. Fortunately, he still had some survival supplies, but that didn't alleviate his frustration.
Everyone carries fear and despair, and is more easily provoked.
"Don't you understand? I tried to persuade those people who left before, but they wouldn't listen and insisted on going out to find help. And what happened? God punished them." Margaret looked at him with pity, but this expression on the face of a white woman in her forties only made her more repulsive.
"Shut up!" The supermarket owner was a nice guy, but even he couldn't help but say, "Everyone's already annoyed. What I mean is, you don't need to say those pointless things."
"What do you mean by meaningless?" Margaret jumped up immediately, furious and as if offended. "I'm trying to save you, but you never listen to me. That's sin—arrogance, bigotry. Everything we're facing now is because there are too many sinners in this world. They do drugs, they engage in homosexuality, men with men, women with women... they're addicted to sex. Now, the judgment has come. Is this what you wanted...?"
No one paid any attention to this crazy woman anymore. Everyone thought she was an extreme radical and a pathetic clown.
"If there's some kind of monster lurking in front of the supermarket, maybe we can leave through the back door," a young man suggested. Soon, this suggestion was accepted by several adventurous and change-oriented individuals, including the supermarket owner. The group immediately went through the warehouse to the back of the supermarket, where there was a small door. According to the supermarket owner, his pickup truck was just four or five meters away from the door.
"If we can get on the bus, maybe we can just step on the gas and leave this godforsaken place."
"I think this is a good idea and worth a try."
Several people agreed, and some were even eager to try it.
Naturally, the young man who made the suggestion became the executor of the plan. Of course, he was well prepared, wearing thicker clothes, helmets sold in supermarkets, and carrying baseball bats and fire axes.
"I should be selling guns in the supermarket. Someone suggested that, but I didn't listen, and now I regret it a little," the supermarket owner joked, handing his car keys to the young man.
They all used human reason to face the disaster.
But in the face of such unknown disasters, fear can cause people to lose this precious quality.
The plan failed.
The young man who had just opened the door was pulled away by a strange tentacle that reached in from the outside. The thing looked like a tongue that could be launched. Some of the people present had raised frogs, and according to them, the tentacle looked like a frog's tongue magnified dozens of times.
In addition, several spiders the size of washbasins crawled in from the open door, injuring several people. Fortunately, the supermarket owner lit torches, which drove the spiders away.
The supermarket was in complete disarray. After the back door was closed again, everyone looked frustrated and desperate.
At that moment, fear overwhelmed reason.
"I warned you!" Margaret said with a compassionate expression, describing the whole thing as a complete mistake. And this time, some people wavered. In fear and despair, people always tend to grasp at some 'hope'.
Now, Margaret is packaging her ideas and theories as a false "hope".
