1077: Light

"Go to Li Village?" The others looked confused.

"Wyatt, if you want to die, don't drag us with you!"

"In this current state, outside Busen City, no one in those large and small strongholds has any chance of surviving!"

"Going to Li Village, not to mention the dangers along the way, even if we really reach Li Village, the outcome can only be running into a pile of The Black Night monsters currently devouring the corpses of Li Village people!"

"Do you think that just because the people of Li Village saved you from the mouths of monsters before, they have the ability to cope with the current darkness?!"

The person who retorted was a Magician.

Among the peers of the Gaopeng Family, he was also considered a Genius.

Therefore, as soon as he retorted like this, it immediately caused many people to nod in agreement.

"Then you tell me, where else can we go? Are we just going to stay here and wait to be discovered by Su Liang?" Wyatt frowned and retorted.

This rhetorical question left the people around speechless.

"Damn Su Liang, why does he have that kind of magic potion?"

"From now on, will the entire Busen City belong to Su Liang? Looking at it now, it seems there is nothing that can replace those potions in his hands!"

"We are definitely dead, no matter where we go, we are dead! Even if we are lucky enough to escape this current Jie, we cannot escape Su Liang's pursuit!" After all, they were just some young people, and facing this kind of thing, their mindset was basically pessimistic.

"Going to Li Village still has a possibility of survival. A few days ago, Su Liang caused me to be surrounded and killed by monsters, but the people of Li Village were able to save me from among so many monsters. Just based on this point, I believe Li Village will not be so easily destroyed!" Wyatt's tone was firm.

After he finished speaking with such emphasis, the others were no longer as resistant as they were at the beginning, and instead, some inclination emerged.

In fact, this was also a manifestation of scrambling in desperation.

When no hope of survival can be seen, even if there is only a little hope of living, that bit of hope will be infinitely magnified in people's hearts.

"How about we go and take a look?" Someone quietly echoed Wyatt's suggestion.

Seeing this, Wyatt secretly let out a breath of stale air.

It was also because the incident happened too urgently. After the people from the Gaopeng Family sent them out, there was no time at all to explain the specific situation, and they didn't even arrange a leader for these people.

It was precisely because of this that the situation of running around like headless flies occurred at this time.

In fact, Wyatt himself didn't know if it was the right approach to let everyone go to Li Village.

After all, the entire West was shrouded in darkness, and even Busen City, this City, was like this, so the probability of Li Village being destroyed was indeed very high.

The reason he let everyone go to Li Village was also with the attitude of treating a dead horse as if it were alive.

In addition, he actually had another idea, which was to take everyone and venture towards Western Main City.

As long as they met Lan Family Head Raine, they would definitely be able to escape danger!

However, Wyatt understood that if this idea were spoken out directly, basically no one would agree, as the risk was ultimately too great.

If he remembered correctly, Li Village was just on the way to Western Main City.

In case Li Village truly fell into irreversible Jie and could not become their sanctuary, then the only choice left for everyone would be to bite the bullet and head towards Western Main City!

"Let's go, don't be slack along the way." Wyatt walked in front of everyone, leading them.

Everyone followed, one by one entering the deep, ink-like darkness.

Before long, all movement ceased.

And this group of people, in a state of anxiety and unease, headed towards that place where hope seemed not to exist.

...

Li Village.

After undergoing some electrical renovations, the entire Li Village took on a new look.

A few utility poles were erected, and some crisscrossing wires could be seen.

And the streetlights in the Village, while adding a sense of security to the Village, also made the originally backward and impoverished Li Village look somewhat upscale.

When the Village was lit by high-grade spiritual lamps before, everyone could still hear the faint roars of darkness monsters outside the light.

But now, those monsters all retreated far away, treating this place as a forbidden zone!

At this time, the Village was still a scene of busyness.

There was no other reason.

Expanding the land.

This was also ordered by Li Changkong.

Although currently, the System provided these electric lights, directly dispelling the dangerous environment, this did not mean that the entire Li Village could rest easy.

Aside from darkness monsters, the threat from people was also a potential danger.

Even to some extent, people are sometimes more terrifying than darkness monsters.

These light bulbs rewarded by the System can only cause harm to Dark Creatures, but cannot cause any harm to a person.

In Li Changkong's view, the Village still needed to be expanded, and strength still needed to be improved.

It is worth mentioning that because he brought out these electrical appliances, and at the critical moment for the Village, he took out a flashlight and killed those darkness monsters.

The people in the Village had their recognition of him as the Village Chief increased by quite a bit.

Accordingly, the sense of belonging was also increasing simultaneously.

Although they had not reached a high level of belonging, it was not far off.

It was also by relying on this overall increased sense of belonging that Li Changkong took in the remaining Alien slaves into Li Village, making them villagers.

Nowadays, Li Village already had 134 villagers.

In terms of population, it was also approaching the time when Li Village had the largest population.

"We can still expand the territory by 0.2 levels, but we are still short of people." Looking at the busy villagers ahead, Li Changkong muttered to himself.

In this current situation, he also didn't know what Busen City was like.

In the future, the population would definitely need to be expanded, and Busen City was the preferred place to purchase population.

With this kind of weather change, Li Changkong felt that Busen City should also not be having an easy time.

However, it should be able to hold on, after all, it was such a large City.

After the work here was finished, the territory expansion came to an end, and after claiming the System rewards, Li Changkong felt that he could go to Busen City to take a look at that time.

With lighting equipment escorting them, there was no need to worry about attacks from darkness monsters along the way.

Vaguely, he also had another idea.

The electric lights purchased from the System were actually a bit excessive for their Village to use.

In order not to waste the light bulbs by letting them get damaged, they were all connected to electricity and hung on various tree branches outside the Village.

If someone in Busen City needed this kind of light bulb, this would be another good business.

It could even be the main business that would lay the foundation for Li Village to grow into a superpower!

Every major power had some pillar industries, such as a certain kind of magic potion, or business involving equipment and weapons.

Selling light bulbs would make money much faster than those businesses!

Even digging for gold ore on the ground was far inferior, after all, the purchase price of a light bulb was only one copper coin per lamp.

Such powerful light bulbs completely surpassed high-grade spiritual lamps, had a wide range of applications, and would definitely be hot sellers even at five gold coins per lamp!

Of course, Li Changkong also understood that if these things were sold, his own strength would need to be strong enough to protect them.

He hoped that after the subsequent territory expansion was successful, the rewards obtained would directly enhance his own strength, only then would he have the confidence to develop the business.

Light bulbs, flashlights, this industry, naturally, the sooner it is established, the sooner it makes money.

After all, easy-to-sell items like light bulbs and flashlights were all in a (Limited Time Event) state in the System, which is why they maintained such low prices.

By taking advantage of the event period, buying more, selling them, and earning the price difference, the profit can be maximized!

...

...

At the same time.

Being in the darkness, Wyatt and the other eight or nine surviving younger generation of the Gaopeng Family had reached the point where they could only walk by supporting each other.

The cold snowy ground and the deep darkness around them gradually froze their thoughts.

"I don't want to walk anymore, we can't get out. Li Village is just a small village, how could they possibly have the ability to resist the darkness? That's something even Busen City couldn't do!" Among the remaining people, one of them completely collapsed after stumbling and falling onto the cold snowy ground.

The remaining few people, one by one, fell silent, including Wyatt, who also had nothing to say in rebuttal.

Everyone had more or less injuries on their bodies, and among them, quite a few had even died under the monsters' cruel slaughter!

After truly experiencing the terror of those monsters in the darkness, they naturally understood the horror of this disaster!

Saying that it was impossible for there to be living people in Li Village, there was no room for rebuttal in this sentence!

Everyone even tacitly agreed in their hearts that Li Village had already been destroyed, and what awaited them ahead was only boundless darkness. They were walking towards death, walking towards Hell!

But what could they do? They had already walked this far, was there still a way back?

Going back meant certain death, going forward, there was still a sliver of possibility, there would be light!

"Look quickly, what is that?!"

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from the front.

In this voice, there was uncontrollable surprise and a cracking sound.

Looking at the woman standing on the small slope ahead, who was one of them, the remaining people all had some doubts and stepped forward quickly with some difficulty.

Stepping onto the dirt slope covered by heavy snow, everyone's expressions froze at this moment.

In the pitch-black night sky, a glimmer of light was reflected on each of their pale faces!

That was a patch of light born in the World of the cold snowy night!

Like a scene from a dream, it was so unreal!
