  Chapter 212 Wartime Regulations!

On the streets of Boulder City, the closed doors and windows were rustled by the wind.

No pedestrians can be seen on the street, only in the middle of the road, a row of poorly clothed poor people is pushing a cart of snow to the outside of the city and dumping.

In the slums on the edge of the outer wall, there are crushed shacks everywhere, unkempt people braving the howling wind and snow, rummaging in the snowdrifts looking for missing relatives and friends. Others stood numbly by the collapsed shack, or knelt on the ground to pray.

The wooden poles crooked by the wind, lay across the doorway of the slum, and no one was in charge of them. Two loudspeakers were tied to them by wire, intermittently emitting that disturbing greasy tone.

"...Hello, dear friends in the audience, hello, this is the Voice of Boulder City, and I am your dearest host, Mr. House."

" Just ten minutes ago, a sudden blizzard swept across the southern part of the valley province. This blizzard is expected to last two hours, but don’t worry, in front of the huge wall, whether it is a raging'wave' or The howling cold wind can't hurt us anything! Under the leadership of the great Sir City Lord, we are invincible!"

"However, our neighbors are not so lucky."

p>

"Although our observation station cannot see the neighbors' homes due to heavy snow obstructing the line of sight, I can imagine what a miserable sight it is."

"If you Your house has collapsed, please don’t be sad, the Wind of Far Away Hotel will always welcome you!"

"This will be your second home!"

……

The sudden snowstorm caused a mess in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.

Especially the young players hunting in the Elm District, thanks to the VM's own map and Compass function, otherwise they almost never got out of the forest.

The trenches and foxholes left by Legion are everywhere here. I stepped into the ditch without a word, and occasionally touched the dead who were not eaten by jackals, hyenas, mice...

In general, players are not too affected by the blizzard.

Even if someone is in trouble occasionally, they can send a distress signal through the map. When nearby players see it, most of them will eagerly rush to help.

However, relative to the players' optimism, the situation of NPCs is not so optimistic.

The wood house of the tribesmen collapsed in two rooms and a cowshed was collapsed.

Chu Guang released a mission, letting Teng Teng who often deal with the tribesmen, send them two boxes of bandages, and let players with experience in ambulance and veterinarians go to help the wounded and livestock.

As for the brick factories and industrial areas along the river, the conditions are pretty good.

As the houses are built of bricks, they are not greatly affected by Blizzard. Workers stay in the factory, the temperature inside is much higher than outside, and the problem of keeping warm will not be big.

However, the situation at Changjiu Farm is a bit tragic.

Although the "bubble houses" that the Pioneer helped build are nothing wrong, and some of the brick houses built later are also good, but when they arrived at the refugee camp at the east gate, it was a mess. .

The houses of the nomads are made of wood at any rate, and most of the houses are pretty good against snowstorms.

Most of the shelters these refugees live in are made up of rubbish such as aluminum alloy plates and steel bars picked up from the waste soil, let alone withstand blizzards, the wind is a little bit stronger All have to be blown around.

In the face of this sudden blizzard, the entire shack of the refugee camp can only be described by the words "complete destruction".

The entire camp, as if being raze to the ground!

"Is this our new home?" Looking at the messy campsite in front of him, the man standing at the entrance of the campsite was filled with confusion on his frozen face.

The remains of the shack.

Garbage buried by snow.

And the wounded lying on the stretcher...

Standing behind the man is a group of villagers carrying large and small bags. They came from the Dongliu camp. Many people had just escaped from the robber's butcher knife. They were still wounded and had only been simply bandaged.

After a one-night rest at the Xinlianhe Gas Station, they were arranged in the first group to go to the Changjiu Farm.

However...

When they walked here in a sudden blizzard with longing for a new life, they saw this picture.

That longing for a new life can't help but cloud a layer of haze.

"So where is the camp?"

"Maybe there is no at first..."

"I start to miss my cabin, I just gave it Made a fireplace... Damn it."

"Don't think about it, there is no longer going back."

The villagers from the Dongliu camp were watching silently. When everything in front of you was not knowing what to do, the refugees standing in a messy camp were also looking at them.

That a pair of vision is mostly suspicious and vigilant.

Although there are occasional new people joining them in the past, it has never been like today. There are so many people who come here at a time, and there are more than a hundred people.

"Is the disaster so serious?"

"Chew the bones...the chaos is spreading."

"The big horned deer come back again, please protect me and wait for peace ......"

Jiu Xun, who took clansman to search and rescue his compatriots, looked at these new refugees frowned, turned back to the camp, and went to find his brother.

In the crowd.

Ma Shan, who was trembling from the cold, opened and closed trembling lips, his eyes desperate.

"I said... we should have fled south long ago, now it's okay, there is hell everywhere, we have no way to go."

The soldier wearing the outer skeleton said that he would take him to see the manager, but up to now, except for the guards who came to ask him a few questions, this matter seems to have disappeared.

Maybe the manager doesn't want to see him.

There is no hope of entering the refuge, and there is only despair in his heart.

The cold north wind slashed on his face like a knife, feeling the eyes behind his back, the horsepower of the Adam's apple moved, and it felt like his neck was frozen.

"...or else, I'll go to the manager."

After all, he is representing the Dongliu camp and agreed to the transfer plan for the shelter.

Hearing what his son said, Ma Zhanqiu slowly shook the head.

"When everyone is unlucky, it's not easy to find anyone."

No one is obliged to save them.

Only self can save them.

After being silent for a while, he turned his head and looked towards the villagers, shouting in a hoarse but still loud voice.

"It seems that the warm bed and hot soup will have to wait a while."

"The wounded, the elderly and the children looked at the luggage, and the others followed me."

"Our life saving benefactors are in trouble, we have to help them!"

The survivors of the winter willow camp joined the search and rescue work.

Thanks to their participation, soon more people buried under the snow were carried out.

Many people have only weak breathing, but they are still alive, just frozen.

They were carried into the temporarily dug trenches, where they could escape part of the wind and snow.

The guard set up temporary rescue stations in the trenches to gather the injured for rescue and help the injured with fractures to fix their limbs.

Because the truck broke down on the road, Chu Guang was delayed for a while, and the second half was on foot to the Changjiu Farm.

After arriving at the farm, he quickly found Luca who was directing search and rescue operations at the east gate.

It happened that the guard Captain Wrench and Chief-In-Charge Jiuli from the refugee camp were also here.

Without greetings, Chu Guang went straight to the topic.

"How's the situation going."

Luca said with a solemn expression.

"My lord, the disaster situation in the refugee camp is very serious. Almost all the shacks have been destroyed. I have arranged for the workers of the long-term farm to put down their work and go to support the search and rescue work. It has been confirmed so far. Seven people died, 21 were injured, and two others were not found... 80% are bode ill rather than well."

Chu Guang's mood sank slightly.

Jiuli, who was standing on the side, said immediately.

"My lord, the original camp is no longer able to live in. Please allow us to enter the farm. We can assure you that it will not cause you trouble."

Before Chu Guang opened his mouth, the wrench looked towards Jiuli and said for him.

"Even if you enter the farm, there are not enough rooms for you to live in. The new apartment is still under construction. Even if you come in, you can only lay the ground floor on the open space. This will not solve any problems. ."

Jiuli said anxiously.

"At least the wall can block part of the wind..."

"How is it possible?" The wrench shook his head, "The roof of our guard station has been blown away. I just asked Pick it back."

Jiuli was speechless for a while and wanted to say something, when old Luca saw this, he also persuaded him.

"The wrench is telling the truth. Even if we allow all of you to come in, it won’t make the situation better."

The wrench is really telling the truth, a long-term farm. Can't hold so many people at all.

The scale of the refugee camp has grown from 187 at the beginning to nearly 300 now. Coupled with the more than 100 villagers in Dongliu Camp, the population might be more than 500.

The previous dormitories left by the Pioneer crews are only 200 single rooms in total. More than half of them have been rented by the players in the Changjiu Farm and Elm District as a next step. Line place. The other half is used to provide those who have already found work on the long-term farm.

The two "Home of Refugees" apartments currently under construction have a total of only more than 400 rooms, even if they are now immediately The construction of the third building will start, and it will only come in handy until the beginning of the spring of the coming year at the earliest.

Putting people in is to treat the symptoms, not the root cause, and it will not solve any problems. It can at best give them some psychological comfort.

Chu Guang thought for a moment, then looked towards the wrench.

"Do you take the map of the northern suburbs of Qingquan City? I mean the paper map."

"Take it, my lord."

Wrench immediately He took out a map from his arms and handed it to Chu Guang's hands.

Chu Guang unfolded the map, stared for a while, and finally locked in the abandoned department store not far from the new industrial area.

His squad had found a personal shelter there before, where Xia Boss's workbench was found.

Chu Guang still remembers very clearly, there are two underground garages there, the space is very large, the radiation and slime bacteria in it have been cleared before.

Although a small amount of alien species may have spread there during this period, it shouldn't be a lot, so it is not difficult to clean it up.

Especially the most important thing is that the location of this department store is not too far from here, only about five kilometers, and it is close to the new industrial area. Perhaps it can find some work for some of them.

The only flaw may be ventilation and sanitation, but these problems are minor problems in the face of severe snowstorms.

Before the beginning of spring next year, Chu Guang intends to temporarily relocate the refugees here. The conditions here are not very good, but it is better than fend for themselves in the wilderness.

Using a pen to draw a circle on the map, Chu Guang handed it to Jiuli, who was standing aside, and ordered.

"The area near the Changjiu Farm is wasteland. Except for withered shrubs and shrubs, there are undulating muddy places. There is no shelter from the wind and rain, and there is not enough material for it. You will rebuild the camp in a short time."

"This blizzard will come again at some point. It is not a wise choice to rebuild a camp. Before the winter is over, we must use the legacy of the pre-war society. I know it’s not easy to build a temporary shelter. I know it’s not easy. Alien species, diseases...many problems need to be overcome, but this is the only option that allows more people to live."

" I need you to organize the manpower to bring the refugees to the resettlement area on the map. I will arrange the guards to assist you in establishing temporary shelters there."

"There will be a batch of timber delivered to you. At that time, I will arrange manpower to assist you in making fuel. I will try my best to find a way for the food. The ration standard will be the same as here. I can’t guarantee how good it is, but I can guarantee that no one will die from hunger and cold. ."

Although he felt heavy, Jiuli knew in his heart that this was the most realistic choice.

First Wei Weihan, he said respectfully.

"Thank you for your generosity, my lord."

Whether it is to calm the emotions of the refugees or arrange the transfer work, it takes time. Jiuli did not delay here, and soon took the map. And the manager's promise turned and left.

Let Luca assist him in the past, and Chu Guang was not idle after explaining the work. Then, using the manager's authority, he released a task without threshold restrictions on the task channel.

This task will be posted at the door of the warehouse at the same time, for the newcomers who have not obtained the VM yet.

[Task: Longjiu Farm needs wood! ]

[Release target: all players]

……

Outpost.

A group of cute newcomers gathered around the task notice board at the door of the warehouse, staring at the line on the list, one or two eyes protruding.

[Task: Longjiu Farm needs wood! ]

[Requirement: Cut down the marked trees in the selected area, and drag the felled trees to the designated place for loading]

[Reward: Each tree rewards 2Silver Coin, 5 points of contribution, 10 points of regional prestige (Changjiu Farm)]

There are voices of discussion around, all of which are surprised and surprised.

Even unbelievable!    "I rely on? A tree 2Silver Coin?!"

"Return 5 points of contribution and 10 points of prestige!"

"Ma, what a limited time event is this? Is it? The reward is so high!"

As everyone knows, an LV0 liver emperor can only earn 10 Silver Coin a day.

After LV3, the daily income will gradually increase to 15-20 silver.

The reason for this is that the game's mechanism determines that the early contribution point will play a bigger role than Silver Coin. After reaching the citizenship level, the money gains will follow as the tide rises, the boat floats.

The operator’s explanation is that only those who have made enough contributions to the shelter are worthy of enjoying the fruits of their predecessors’ efforts and occupying more “social resources”.

Ordinary daily tasks, the reward for cutting a tree is no more than 5 Copper Coin, and the smaller one may be two Copper Coin.

And now, it's four times!   And there is no income limit!

Not only the new players, but also many old players above LV6, seeing such a swelling rewards are very excited.

The canyon is on the run. Mole: "Could it be that the AI ​​made a mistake when sending the mission? This income is too unreasonable, and the power system cannot be used to go to the sky?! Strongly request to plan to increase the agility system. The task of making money quickly!"

Spring Water Commander: "+1, the intelligence department is about to cry."

Kill the chicken at midnight: "The logging convoy starts, is there anyone with the car? , Speed ​​private."

Kakarot: "Brothers take me! Hahaha, I am a force!"

Spirit King wealth: "Brothers go! Taking advantage of the fact that the dog plan has not discovered this bug, let's quickly get the Silver Coin up to the sky!"

Retain people under the knife: "I have a liver burst!"

Quit smoking: "Oh! Lie!"

A group of grandiose players slammed into the Elm District.

Especially the power players, one by one is excited like a 200-jin child, the timber axe in the warehouse has been sold out, vowing to cut a piece of sky.

Different from the previous logging missions, this time the felling area is specified, and there are NPCs marking the trees. Only the marked trees can be rewarded.

The total area of ​​the development area is about 10 acres, which is a rectangular area on the map. Pine and cypress trees with a diameter of more than 30 cm and a height of more than 10 meters are all marked.

3 guards and 8 NPC laborers set up a temporary camp next to the felling area, using simple cutting equipment such as saw blades to process the wood, and load it into trucks in sections, and tow them to long-term farms and temporary camps. Abandoned department store where refugees were housed.

Some children will definitely want to ask, can I cut a slightly thinner tree if I mark it myself?   Of course Xing.

That's too bad.

As long as the NPC is blind enough, you will not be able to find the horn...

Within 10 acres, Chu Guang sent the NPC to mark the wood and placed a total of 6000 markers.

The duration of the entire task, the default is one week.

However, what Chu Guang did not expect was that in just three days, without modern logging tools such as chainsaws, his little players were stunned by an axe. The more than 6000 marks have been cleared!    According to a tree of 2Silver Coins, in just three days, Chu Guang issued a full 12,000 Silver Coins for these pieces of wood!

A total of 170 players participated in this mission, with an average income of up to 70.5 silver! The    best midnight slaying of chickens in the whole game. Just two axes were broken, one person contributed 120 trees and made 240 silver in three days. The logging level rose from 5 to 6, Chu Guang couldn’t bear it. I want to send him the achievement of Forest Destroyer.

If this trend continues, Brother Killer may become the second awakening in the refuge.

The strength version is the strongest real hammer!

……

Changjiu Farm.

Temporary office.

Looking at Chu Guang sitting behind the wooden table, Luca warned carefully.

"My lord, we have enough wood at the moment, and the fuel reserve has returned to above the reserve line you set, but the food is still a big problem."

"The weather is getting better and better." The colder, the less prey we can catch. And we now have nearly two thousand mouths to feed. If we consume it at the current rate, we may only have enough food until the end of this month..."

After listening to Luca's report, Chu Guang fell into deep thought, tapping lightly with his index finger on the table.

Wait two months for the first batch of corn at the greenhouse site.

The actual planting area is about 40 acres, and the estimated yield per acre is 700~800kg, which can be about 30,000 kg.

The output of the seeds sold by the Trailblazer is still guaranteed.

When the breeding in the planting area on the B3 floor of the refuge is completed, the entire greenhouse site strategy is completed, and soon a new batch of seeds can be planted.

However, the near thirst cannot be quenched by the distance.

He can print money at will, but after all, he cannot exchange the printed money for food.

After a while, Chu Guang said.

"We need to hold on for another two months."

"As long as we can hold on to the end of January next year, victory belongs to us!"

There was no more grain to search. Chu Guang even sent someone to Brown Farm to see it. The granary there really didn't have much left, and the farmer did not hide the truth from him.

It is difficult to find prey in the forest farms of Yumu District. As for the city... even the rats are almost killed.

After all, those slime bacteria species cannot be eaten. Even if they are trained into active substances, those paste-like liquids cannot be absorbed by the digestive system at all.

If you do not intend to breakthrough the moral bottom line.

Then there is only one remaining method...

Sitting at his desk, Chu Guang pondered for a long time, and finally made a decision, opened the drawer and found a piece of paper , Picked up the pen and wrote six words on it——

"Wartime Management Regulations"

"Include some food varieties under control, restrict purchase, uniform ration, and centralized supply ."

This should last until two months later.

Perhaps, he should have done this long ago.
