Chu Yan, Chu Yan, Shadow couldn’t be your best friend’s brother, could he?

All over Great Xia, an announcement was received.

All guilds were forced to manifest their Hideouts into reality, and could even receive a lifespan 'subsidy' for doing so!

All players were forced to enter the Hideouts that had been manifested into reality!

Because in the news provided by Qin Feng…

Once the Barren Wasteland spreads, the sun and moon will disappear, and the entire Blue Planet will enter a state of gloom. Although it will still maintain a survival environment suitable for humans, it will simultaneously connect with the game world!

Through some cracks appearing on the continent of the God Forsaken Game, monsters can directly land in the reality of the Blue Planet.

When that time comes, players who are not staying in Hideouts will be in considerable danger.

But in just two short days, even with the execution power of the Great Xia Official, it was simply not enough to complete the arrangements for so many players.

Moreover, there was a lot of resistance from players during the execution process…

They were unwilling to leave their own homes, especially some elderly people who were very stubborn about staying in their own houses and unwilling to go to the Hideouts arranged for them.

In fact, in terms of the number of Hideouts, although it was a bit crowded, it was definitely enough to settle everyone.

But unfortunately, some people would not cooperate.

Regarding this, Qin Feng couldn't manage it much more.

He only told the news he knew to the Great Xia Official…

And the Great Xia Official clearly took the news he provided very seriously and immediately launched an operation; as for those who wouldn't listen to advice, there was really nothing that could be done.

Once the Barren Wasteland truly spreads…

A full half of the areas will fall into regions unsuitable for survival.

The 'Turbulent Regions (10x lifespan flow rate)' in reality will connect with the Turbulent Regions in the game, and strong monsters will emerge!

The 'Fierce Areas (100x lifespan flow rate)' in reality will connect with the Fierce Areas in the game, and even stronger monsters will appear!

Although these monsters come to reality, they also have strict restrictions on their areas of movement.

Monsters acting in Turbulent Regions can go to Fierce Areas, but they cannot go to the 'Mild areas' with normal flow rates.

That is, they can go to high-multiplier lifespan flow rate areas, but cannot go to low-multiplier lifespan flow rate areas.

From this, it can be seen…

The 'Mild areas' in reality are the safest.

Because the only monsters that will be encountered are those from the God Forsaken Game that can only appear in Mild areas.

For example, if the Great Calamity Underworld King came to reality, he could at most act in the 'Fierce Areas' with a hundredfold lifespan flow rate and could not leave no matter what.

The game is the game.

Reality is reality.

The rules are each different.

In reality, killing monsters won't even grant experience rewards, though lifespan still drops normally…

In addition, some treasures will be nurtured in the Turbulent and Fierce Areas in reality.

For example, 'Magic Circle Keystones' and so on.

The Diamond-Level Magic Circle Keystone that Qin Feng bought from Oddity Bro is something that has a relatively high probability of being nurtured only in real-world areas with at least ten-thousandfold lifespan flow rates; it was a 'commodity' he brought from another world.

Because it was endowed with the 'commodity' attribute, unlike the 'old days catastrophe snake tooth', it is not restricted by different worlds (servers).

Items like 'Magic Circle Keystones' can only be purchased from NPCs within the game.

The actual production sites are all in various real worlds.

…

It is precisely because of the unique nature of the Barren Wasteland's spread.

That is why the population of the entire Blue Planet will once again decrease drastically.

However…

There really aren't many places where more than a hundred thousand people can die directly within a very small area.

Mainly because the range provided by the Knowledge Eye is only about the size of two or three football fields; unless there are specific conditions, it's really impossible for so many people to gather and die together.

So, what Qin Feng is looking forward to, the Sakura Country statue incident, is the key opportunity for the 'Faith Temple of the Death Goddess' to appear.

After that statue comes to reality, using 'worshiping can permanently increase attributes' as bait, it attracted wave after wave of Sakura Country players to go there one after another, and then… they were instantly slaughtered!

At this moment!

As the time draws closer, the Great Xia side becomes increasingly nervous.

In particular, on Qin Feng's side, he had already notified the more than 13,000 players of the Sky Vault Guild in advance, and they had brought their entire families to the East Coast of the Magic City where he was located!

A total of tens of thousands of people arrived on the beach in a dense crowd, and had even been waiting on the beach for several hours.

When the Barren Wasteland spreads, land in reality will become very scarce and much more dangerous.

It's very likely that as soon as one logs off, they'll find themselves surrounded by monsters.

Other guilds have their own Hideouts, but the Sky Vault Guild at most has a few Gold-grade Hideouts used for stockpiling goods, which cannot accommodate so many members.

So…

Qin Feng definitely had to manifest the 'Evil Spirit Academy' into reality to protect the Sky Vault Guild.

In passing, it would also let the Sky Vault Guild become the outer defense personnel for Qin Feng's true home base.

“After the Hideout is manifested into reality, its position can be moved by consuming a small amount of lifespan.”

“It can be manifested first.”

At this time, even Qin Feng logged off from the game, maintaining his stealth state as he walked out of the Nether Soul Land.

Osirio flew invisibly in the sky and saw tens of thousands of people gathered densely several kilometers away.

Qin Feng first moved the 'Nether Soul Land' Hideout more than thirty meters deeper underground.

Then, consuming over two thousand years of lifespan, he manifested the 'Evil Spirit Academy' into reality!

Once upon a time, Qin Feng had to rely on trading with the official to obtain lifespan to manifest the Nether Soul Land…

But now, the lifespan required to manifest the Evil Spirit Academy was just half a day's worth of earnings from 'Los Angeles' for him.

Moreover, because the grade of the Evil Spirit Academy's defensive barrier had increased, the lifespan consumed for manifestation was also greater, but the impact was not significant.

Soon…

Directly above Qin Feng's Nether Soul Land.

The 'Evil Spirit Academy' Hideout, covering nearly a thousand acres, was directly shaped. Libraries, teaching buildings… and other structures were slowly constructed, finally forming an Emerald-grade defensive barrier!

This defensive barrier had higher durability, higher defense, and even came with extra damage reduction.

Plus, with the existence of the 'Life Source Magic Circle'.

Even a nuclear bomb wouldn't be able to blast through this defensive barrier. Of course, by now, the nuclear bombs and other modern large-scale weapons existing in the world had basically been corrupted and were unusable.

Even if there were usable ones, they were just some small weapons, with power not even as good as a mage's fireball…

…

When the familiar 'Evil Spirit Academy' Hideout rose from the ground on the beach.

The Sky Vault Guild players who were arranged a few kilometers away all began to cheer.

Old Zhang Tou, Zhang Jinxuan, and the other managers of the Sky Vault Guild were all feeling somewhat excited.

Zhang Jinxuan smiled and raised her arm, sending a voice message through the Communication Crystal Ring on her arm: “Everyone, don't be in a hurry yet; the Hideout is still being manifested. Great God Shadow said to manifest the Hideout first, and if the location is unsuitable after the Barren Wasteland spreads, we can move it separately.”

In fact, Qin Feng could basically be certain that there was no problem with this place.

But he couldn't speak too definitively.

By now, many people on the Great Xia side knew the term 'Barren Wasteland'.

But they didn't know the specific situation, only that the official wanted everyone to enter Hideouts and not leave for the time being.

And this news also spread abroad; it was known all over the world.

For example, North America!

They had absolutely no idea what was happening.

What Barren Wasteland?

Why was Great Xia forcing all its citizens to enter Hideouts?

When an order like that was issued by Great Xia, the whole country fell into Chaos!

As for North America, the Western nations, India, Sakura Country, Great Han Country… and so on, without knowing the truth, it was not convenient for the officials to issue mandatory orders.

Only some players who had heard the news and were more sensitive to danger similarly returned to their respective Hideouts…

…

Regarding this, Qin Feng had long anticipated it but didn't care.

It was simply impossible to both have the Great Xia Official prepared and keep the news from leaking.

For Qin Feng, if more people from other countries could survive this wave, it meant he would have more 'leeks' in the future; there was nothing bad about it.

No matter what, the value created by living people is always more than the value provided by dead ones.

Moreover, if others died at the hands of monsters, it wouldn't benefit Qin Feng in the slightest.

Soon, the manifestation of the Evil Spirit Academy Hideout was complete!

In terms of the ground area alone, the size of the Evil Spirit Academy was about the same as a university. As long as the buildings were constructed later, it would be no problem to accommodate tens of thousands of people, though it would be a bit crowded.

But Qin Feng could subsequently expand the defensive range of the barrier through the 'god-given book · Defensive Barrier' and then expand the actual range of the Hideout.

Of course, this lifespan would have to be provided by Old Zhang Tou himself.

In any case, the three underground levels of the Evil Spirit Academy were already enough for Qin Feng, not to mention that the 'Magma Church' on the original deepest underground level no longer had magma around it and was directly connected to the 'Nether Soul Land' by Qin Feng.

From the original Magma Church, one could enter the Nether Soul Land!

That was Qin Feng's true 'Hideout'!

And that Hideout was naturally only known to Qin Feng and Ghost Spirit…

At the same time.

Old Zhang Tou, Zhang Jinxuan, and other guild managers began to arrange for the guild members to enter the 'Evil Spirit Academy' area in an orderly manner.

Among the crowd, there was a girl who was very round all over.

She was none other than Jia Xiaomei of the Hidden Class 'Diviner'!

Previously, Qin Xiaoyou's best friend Chu Yan had helped Jia Xiaomei's grandparents, so Jia Xiaomei deliberately went to Jianghai City to meet Chu Yan once and even helped divine Qin Feng's location…

At this moment.

When this Jia Xiaomei first arrived at this beach, she had a strange feeling.

Once the Evil Spirit Academy Hideout was built, Jia Xiaomei's heart beat even faster!

“The divination I did for Chu Yan's best friend's brother before said it was near this position.”

“At that time, this place was a godforsaken hole. I even said her brother must have been killed and his body dumped in the sea…”

“As it turns out, Shadow seems to have been living here all along?”

This situation caused Jia Xiaomei, codenamed 'Sunny and Cheerful Big Girl', to gasp sharply!

She immediately raised her hand and sent a message to 'Chu Yan' on her Communication Crystal Ring: “Chu Yan, Chu Yan, you'll never guess, I've come to that godforsaken hole I mentioned before… Shadow manifested his Hideout here!”

“Holy crap! Shadow couldn't be your best friend's brother, could he?!”
