This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 211: Wartime regulations!
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
On the streets of Boulder City, the closed doors and windows were rattled by the wind.
There were no pedestrians on the street, only in the middle of the road, a group of poor people in ragged clothes were pushing carts of snow to be dumped outside the city.
In the slums on the edge of the outer wall, there are crushed shacks everywhere. Unkempt people brave the howling wind and snow to search for missing relatives and friends in the snowdrifts. Others stood numbly beside the collapsed shacks, or knelt on the ground to pray.
The wind-blown wooden pole was left unattended at the entrance of the slum. Two loudspeakers were tied to it with wires, and they intermittently emitted an annoying and glib tone.
"...Hello, dear listeners, 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 River Valley Province. This blizzard is expected to last for two hours, but please don't worry, in front of the towering giant wall, no matter whether it is the raging Neither the 'wave' nor the howling cold wind can hurt us at all! Under the leadership of the great Lord of the City, we are invincible!"
"However, our neighbors are not so lucky."
"Although our observation station cannot see the situation in our neighbors' homes due to heavy snow blocking the view, I can imagine what a miserable scene it is."
"If your house collapses, please don't be sad, the Far Wind Hotel will always welcome you!"
"This will be your second home!"
……
The sudden snowstorm caused a mess in the entire northern suburb of Qingquan City.
Especially for the young players hunting in the Elm Area, fortunately the VM comes with a map and compass function, otherwise they almost wouldn’t be able to get out of the forest.
This place is full of trenches and foxholes left by the legions. People step into the trenches without leaving a sound. Occasionally, you can touch the dead who have not been eaten by jackals, hyenas, and rats...
In general, players were not greatly affected by the blizzard.
Even if someone occasionally encounters trouble, they can send a distress signal through the map. When nearby players see it, most of them will enthusiastically rush over to help.
However, compared to the optimism of players, the situation of NPC is not so optimistic.
Two of the tribesmen's wooden houses collapsed, and a cowshed collapsed.
Chu Guang issued a mission and asked Teng Teng, who often dealt with the tribesmen, to send them two boxes of bandages. He also asked players with rescue and veterinary experience to help rescue the wounded and livestock.
As for the brick factories and industrial areas along the river, they are in pretty good condition.
Since the houses are all built of bricks, they are not greatly affected by the blizzard. The workers all stay in the factory, and the temperature inside is much higher than outside, so keeping warm is not a big problem.
However, over there at Jiujiu Farm, the situation was a bit tragic.
Although the "bubble houses" the Pioneer helped build were fine, and some of the brick houses built later were also good, when we arrived at the refugee camp at the east gate, it was a complete mess.
The houses of the nomads are made of wood after all, and most of them have fairly good ability to withstand snowstorms.
Most of the shacks that these refugees live in are made of aluminum alloy plates and steel bars picked up from the wasteland. Not to mention they can withstand snowstorms, they will be blown away by any strong wind. Got to fly everywhere.
Faced with this sudden blizzard, the entire refugee camp’s shacks can only be described as “completely wiped out.”
The entire camp seemed to have been razed to the ground!
"Is this our new home?" Looking at the messy camp in front of him, the man standing at the entrance of the camp had confusion written on his frozen face.
The remains of the shack.
Garbage buried in snow.
And the wounded lying on the stretcher...
Standing behind the man were a group of villagers carrying large and small bags. They came from Dongliu Camp. Many of them had just escaped death from the butcher's knife of predators, and they still had injuries on their bodies that had only been briefly bandaged.
After a night's rest at the New United Gas Station, they were placed in the first group to go to Changjiu Farm.
However...
When they walked here with longing for a new life and braved a sudden snowstorm, they saw a scene like this.
The longing for a new life can't help but be cast into a haze.
"So where is the camp?"
"Maybe there wasn't one in the first place..."
"I'm starting to miss my cabin, I just built it a fireplace...damn it."
"Don't think about it, you can't go back there."
While the villagers from Dongliu Camp were silently looking at everything in front of them, the refugees standing in the messy camp were also looking at them.
Most of those eyes were filled with suspicion and vigilance.
Although new people occasionally join them in the past, there have never been so many people at one time as today, more than a hundred people.
"Is the disaster so serious?"
"Chewing bones...chaos is spreading."
"The big horned deer is here again, please protect us and keep us safe..."
Jiu Xun, who led his tribe to search and rescue his compatriots, frowned when he looked at the new refugees, then turned back to the camp to find his brother.
In the crowd.
Ma Shan was shivering from the cold, his lips were trembling and his eyes were desperate.
"I said before... we should have fled south a long time ago. Now, **** is everywhere, and we have no way out."
The soldier wearing the exoskeleton said that he would take him to see the administrator. However, so far, except for the guards who came to ask him a few questions, there seemed to be no follow-up to the matter.
Maybe the manager doesn't want to see him.
There was no hope of entering the shelter, and there was only despair in his heart.
The cold north wind cut into his face like a knife, feeling the eyes of a pair of eyes behind him, Ma Li's Adam's apple moved, and his neck felt as if it was frozen.
"...otherwise, I'll go find the manager."
After all, he was the one who agreed to the shelter’s transfer plan on behalf of Dongliu Camp.
Hearing his son's words, Ma Zhanqiu slowly shook his head.
“When everyone is unlucky, it’s hard to turn to anyone.”
No one has the obligation to save them.
The only one who can save them is yourself.
After a moment of silence, he looked back at the villagers and shouted in a hoarse but still loud voice.
"It seems that warm quilts and hot soup will have to wait for a while."
"The wounded, the elderly and children looked at the luggage, and the others followed me."
"Our saviors are in trouble, we have to help them!"
The survivors of Dongliu Camp joined the search and rescue work.
Thanks to their joining, more people buried under the snow were soon lifted out.
Many people were still breathing weakly, but they were all still alive, just frozen.
They were carried to temporarily dug trenches, where they could partially shelter from the wind and snow.
The Guard established a temporary rescue station on the trench, gathered the injured for rescue, and helped the wounded with fractures fix their injured limbs.
Because the truck broke down on the road, Chu Guang was delayed for a while. The second half of the journey was to the long-lasting farm on foot.
After arriving at the farm, he quickly found Luca who was directing the search and rescue work at the east gate.
It just so happened that the guard captain Wan Wan and the person in charge of the refugee camp Jiuli were also here.
Chu Guang went straight to the point without any pleasantries.
"How's the situation?"
Luca looked solemn and said in a heavy tone.
"Sir, the disaster in the refugee camp is very serious, almost all the shacks have been destroyed. I have arranged for the laborers of Jiujiu Farm to put down their work and go to support the search and rescue work. 7 people have been confirmed dead so far , 21 people were injured, and two people have not been found...80% of them are more likely to be in danger than in danger."
Chu Guang’s mood sank slightly.
Jiu Li, who was standing aside, followed closely.
"Sir, the original camp is no longer habitable. Please allow us to enter the farm. We can promise you that we will not cause you any trouble."
Before Chu Guang spoke, Wanwan looked at Jiuli and said for him.
"Even if you enter the farm, there are not enough rooms for you to live in. New apartments are still under construction. Even if you come in, you can only build floors in the open space, which does not solve any problem."
Jiuli said anxiously.
"At least the wall can block part of the wind..."
"How is that possible?" Wrench shook his head and said, "The roof of our guard station was blown away, and I just had someone pick it back up."
Jiuli was speechless for a moment and wanted to say something. Seeing this, Old Luka also persuaded him.
"The wrench is telling the truth, and even if we let you all in, it won't make it any better."
Wrench is indeed telling the truth. Jiujiu Farm cannot accommodate so many people.
The size of the refugee camp has grown from 187 people at the beginning to nearly 300 people now. Coupled with the more than 100 households of villagers in Dongliu Camp, the population may exceed 500.
The dormitories left for them by the crew of the Pioneer only have a total of 200 single rooms, more than half of which have been rented by players active in the Changjiu Farm and Elm District areas as places to log off. The other half is used to provide those who have found jobs on the permanent farms.
The two "refugee home" apartments currently under construction only have a total of more than 400 rooms. Even if the construction of the third one starts immediately, it will not be put into use until the spring of next year at the earliest.
Bringing people in only treats the symptoms, not the root cause, and cannot solve any problems. At most, it can give them some psychological comfort.
Chu Guang thought for a moment and looked at the wrench.
"Do you have a map of the northern suburbs of Qingquan City with you? I mean a paper map."
"Take it with you, sir."
Wrench immediately took out a map from his arms and handed it to Chu Guang's hands.
Chu Guang unfolded the map and stared at it for a while, finally settling on an abandoned department store not far from the new industrial zone.
His cattle and horse team had previously discovered a personal shelter there, and Boss Xia's workbench was found there.
Chu Guang still remembers clearly that there was a two-story underground garage with a very large space, and the radioactive materials and slime mold alien species inside had been eliminated before.
Although a small amount of alien species may have spread there during this period, the number should not be large, and it will not be difficult to clean up.
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 zone. It may be possible to find some jobs for some of the people.
The only shortcomings may be ventilation problems and hygiene problems, but these problems are minor problems in the face of severe snowstorms.
Before next spring, Chu Guang plans to temporarily resettle the refugees here. The conditions here are not very good, but it is better than fending for themselves in the wilderness.
Chu Guang drew a circle on the map with a pen, handed it to Jiuli who was standing aside, and gave instructions.
"The area near Changjiu Farm is a wasteland. Apart from withered dwarf trees and shrubs, it is just undulating mud. There is no place to shelter from the wind and rain, and there are not enough materials to allow you to survive in a short time. Re-establish the camp inside."
"I don’t know when this blizzard will come again. It is not a wise choice to build a new camp. Before the end of winter, we must use the ruins left by the pre-war society to build a temporary shelter. I know this is very uncomfortable. Easy, alien species, diseases... there are many problems that need to be overcome, but this is the only option right now that allows more people to survive."
"I need you to organize manpower to bring the refugees to the resettlement area on the map. I will arrange for people from the guard to help you build temporary shelters there."
"A batch of wood will be sent to you later, and I will arrange manpower to help you make fuel. I will try my best to find a solution for the food issue, and the rationing standards will be the same as when I was here. I can't guarantee how good it will be. , but I can guarantee that no one will die of hunger and cold."
Although he felt heavy, Jiuli also knew in his heart that this was the most realistic choice.
Hanging slightly, he said respectfully.
"Thank you for your generosity, my lord."
Whether it was to appease the refugees or arrange transfer work, it took time. Jiuli did not delay here and quickly turned around and left with the map and the manager's promise.
Let Luka go over to assist him. After explaining the work, Chu Guang was not idle. He then used the authority of the manager to publish unrestricted tasks in the task channel.
This task will be posted at the door of the warehouse at the same time, for newbies who have not yet obtained a VM.
[Task: Changjiu Farm needs wood! 】
[Release target: all players]
……
Outpost.
A group of newbies gathered in front of the task notice board at the entrance of the warehouse, staring at the line of words on the list, their eyes wishing to bulge out.
[Task: Changjiu Farm needs wood! 】
[Requirement: Cut down the marked trees in the selected area and drag the felled trees to the designated location for loading]
[Reward: Each tree will reward 2 silver coins, 5 contribution points, and 10 regional reputation points (Long-term Farm)]
There were voices of discussion all around, and the voices without exception were full of surprise and surprise.
Even unbelievable!
"Holy shit? Two silver coins per tree?!"
"Give me back 5 contribution points and 10 reputation points!"
"Oh my god, is this a limited time event? Why are the rewards so high!"
As we all know, a liver emperor with LV0 can only earn 10 silver coins a day.
After LV3, the daily income will gradually increase to 15~20 silver.
The reason why this is the case is determined by the game's mechanism. Early contribution points will play a greater role than silver coins. After reaching the citizen level, the monetary benefits will increase with the tide.
In the operator's explanation, only those who have made sufficient contributions to the shelter deserve to enjoy the fruits of previous efforts and occupy more "social resources."
For ordinary daily tasks, the reward for cutting down a tree is only 5 copper coins, and the smaller one may be only 2 copper coins.
And now, it has doubled by 4 times!
And there is no revenue cap!
Not only new players, but also many veteran players above LV6 are excited to see such inflated rewards.
Mole on the run in the canyon: "Could it be that the AI made a mistake when issuing the mission? This income is too unreasonable. The strength system is not allowed to go up to the sky?! I strongly request a plan to add agility system to make money quickly. Mission!"
Commander Fountain: "+1, the intelligence department is going to cry."
Midnight killing chicken: "The logging convoy is starting. Is there anyone following? The speed is private."
Kakarot: "Brother Killer, take me with you! Hahaha, I am a power type!"
Elf King Fugui: "Brothers, let's go! Before Planner Dog discovers this bug, let's quickly send silver coins to the sky!"
The knife leaves someone behind: "I'm so mad!"
Quit smoking: “Here’s Ollie!”
A group of players marched toward the Elm District.
Especially the strength players, every one of them was as excited as a 200-pound child. The logging axes in the warehouse were all sold out, and they vowed to chop down a piece of the sky.
Different from previous logging tasks, this time the felling area is specified, and NPCs mark the trees. Only the marked trees can be felled to obtain rewards.
The total area of the development area is about 10 acres, which is a rectangular area on the map. All pine and cypress trees with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters and a height of more than 10 meters are marked.
3 guards and 8 NPC workers set up a temporary camp next to the logging area. They used simple cutting equipment such as saw blades to process the wood, loaded it into trucks in sections, and hauled it to long-term farms and abandoned sites for temporary resettlement of refugees. department store.
Some children will definitely want to ask, what if I mark it myself and cut down a slightly thinner tree?
Of course Xing.
That's really cool.
As long as the NPC is blind enough, he will not be able to find it...
In an area of 10 acres, the NPC sent by Chu Guang to mark the wood placed a total of 6,000 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 relied on an ax to cut through more than 6,000 trees. All marks have been cleared!
According to the ratio of two silver coins per tree, Chu Guang issued a total of 12,000 silver coins for these trees in just three days!
A total of 170 players participated in this mission, with an average income of 70.5 silver!
The best midnight chicken killing in the game. He broke two axes alone. One person contributed 120 trees. He earned 240 silver in three days. The logging level was raised from 5 to 6. Chu Guang couldn't bear it. I really want to give him the Forest Destroyer achievement.
If this trend continues, Brother Killer may become the second awakening in the shelter.
The power version is the most powerful!
……
Long-term farm.
Temporary office.
Looking at Chu Guang sitting behind the wooden table, Luka reminded him carefully.
"Sir, we currently have enough wood, and our fuel reserves are back above the reserve line you set, but food is still a big problem."
"The weather is getting colder and colder, and there are fewer and fewer prey to hunt. And we now have nearly two thousand mouths to feed. If we continue to consume them at the current rate, we may only have enough food to last until this time. At the end of the month..."
After listening to Luka's report, Chu Guang fell into deep thought and tapped his index finger on the table.
The first batch of corn will mature in another two months at the greenhouse site.
The actual planting area is about 40 acres, and the estimated output is 700 to 800 kilograms per mu, which works out to about 30,000 kilograms.
The yield of the seeds sold by Pioneer is still guaranteed.
When the breeding in the B3 planting area of the shelter is completed and the entire greenhouse ruins is cleared, a new batch of seeds can be planted soon.
However, distant water cannot quench near thirst.
He can print money at will, but after all, he cannot exchange the printed money for food.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Guang said.
"We need to hold on for another two months."
"As long as we can persist until the end of January next year, victory will belong to us!"
There was no more food to plunder around. Chu Guang even sent someone to visit Brown Farm. It was true that there was not much left in the granary there. The farmer did not hide the truth from him.
It is already difficult to find prey in the forest farms of Yumu District. As for the city... even the rats are almost killed.
Those slime mold mutants cannot be eaten after all. Even if they are made into active substances, those paste-like liquids cannot be absorbed by the digestive system at all.
If you don’t intend to break the moral bottom line.
Then there is only one remaining method...
Chu Guang, who was sitting at his desk, thought for a long time and finally made a decision. He opened the drawer and found a piece of paper, picked up a pen and wrote six words on it——
"Wartime Management Regulations"
"Introduce certain grain varieties into controls, restrict purchases, unify rationing, and centralize supply."
Perhaps he should have done this long ago.
