"We have five days left." Joyce said, looking around.

In the cafeteria area, several tables and chairs are gathered in a circle, and the members of the Eternal Life Society are seated and discussed.

"It's 0:00, so it's four days." Mu Su came out with compassion.

"Yes." Joyce bowed his head and continued without dwelling on the topic: "Before winter falls, we need to absorb the surviving humans to bring the population of the gathering point to 1,000. Once winter, they don't brave the cold. Next, I will publish the information I have gathered so far. ”

"The ember camp is connected to the base, and it is enough for a population of about 1200~1600 to live relatively comfortably without expansion. Unfortunately, because the congregants are not alive, they have no way of knowing the temperature of the camp in the dead of winter. ”

"I asked some of the captives about the winter. When winter arrives, the temperature drops from 10°C to around -15°C over three days, where it hovers until the first snow falls during the first week of winter, when a small cold spell arrives. The temperature will drop at a rate of 2~8°C per day until the snow stops. The small cold wave lasts for two weeks, the temperature is around -30°~-40°, and the daytime is 8 hours. Then came the Great Cold Wave. ”

The members listened attentively, even though they didn't have much idea about temperature.

"There will be less than five hours of sunshine during the cold spell. According to the Lindsay Wetlands, last year's Great Cold Wave averaged -56°, and they lost 7% of their population as a result. A large number of people froze to death and starved to death. It might be better for us to be in a cave, but we can't be careless. ”

The 7 percent horror rate frightens the members, and Joyce continues: "This temperature will continue until April next year, and then it will slowly start to rise. ”

"Nearly half a year of winter?" One member couldn't help but ask.

Joyce pointed overhead: "Overcast clouds block most solar radiation, and each winter is equivalent to the Xiaoice period." ”

He continued: "To sustain the basic food supply for 1,000 people, we need 500 tonnes of food and sufficient water. ”

A desperate number.

4 days, 500 tons. On average, 125 tonnes are brought in every day.

In silence, Joyce calmly spoke: "There is nothing to lose, after all, we have failed." Just forget about the disadvantages and do your best. Most of us are above 20, and the temperature before the arrival of the small cold wave is still within our tolerance. So these four days and the seven days of winter are our final preparation time. ”

Population vs. food vs. heating.

These are the three problems they face.

"Can't we keep those captives?" Lin asked.

"Hansen wouldn't agree. And there's no reason for them to abandon their homes and move over. Unless we can prove that it's better here. ”

Lin Yi thought for a moment, and then asked, "What if we borrow someone?" Work with Hansen to borrow part of the population towards the end of winter. ”

Joyce shook her head: "Unfortunately, this falls under the category of wordplay. AIC reserves the right of final interpretation. ”

As mentioned before, word games are only available to the AIC, the rule-maker.

For the population segment, the broadcast was quickly determined. The vending machines and some electrical appliances in the base can be disassembled and can leave a lot of electronic components, which can be made into radio stations to spread to the outside world.

Then there are the Lindsey Wetlands and Hale City. The former obviously has a strange attitude towards Musu, and can use this to try to communicate and cooperate. The latter is extremely difficult to infiltrate after a rebellion, but it can also be attempted.

And then there's the food. The members use the 3000 black dots obtained by completing the mission, and activate the black dots three times to obtain attributes. At that time, the food will be solved by the members of the high strength and physique who go out hunting and fishing by the river, looking for the power ant nest.

A small anthill has at least 300~400 power ant members. And they must have stored a lot of food in preparation for the winter. If found, it will relieve them of a lot of burden.

How food is stored is not a problem. It would be nice to carve out a pantry in the cave passages, and the cold and long winter months would be enough to store the meat until the end of the winter, if there were any leftovers.

Finally, there is heating. There are many of these options, the only question is whether the temperature can be kept level.

In some ruins outside, you can always find heating appliances such as electric heaters, and the power of the base can be used to maintain the temperature. The only question is: how long does the electricity last?

If the base is powered by hydroelectric power, they will also have no electricity when the stream freezes.

The second point is charcoal. This scorched and sealed resource burns longer than wood. There was an inexhaustible supply of charcoal in the burned ground. Is it worth it just to walk tens of kilometers?

If it's too late, they can only burn the forest again. Cultivate a second transcendent stat and get plenty of charcoal at your fingertips.

The main plan is determined, followed by branches.

While Joyce and his party were discussing, Mu Su sat not far from them, using the properties panel to activate the black dot.

Charm still doesn't match him, first 10 melee and 10 sharp. In the last shot, he was lucky to get 10 points of strength, and his strength doubled.

is no longer the powerless one who ran to provoke Chen Yue, and was easily subdued by her and wanted to send him away.

"Wait a minute."

Joyce called out to her and asked Mu Su, "Is there a limit to your telepathic skills?" ”

Mu Su was countered by the hand behind the back and wanted to attack his chest, but Chen Yue let go of him in anger and retreated to dodge.

Mu Su, who was proud, rubbed his shoulders and replied, "It's okay to touch it." ”

"Try to see if you can contact the survivors of Hale City."

Mu Su closed his eyes and tried it, and after a while, he opened his eyes and nodded: "Yes." ”

"How many of them are left?"

Mu Su spoke: "One ......"

Everyone sighed in their hearts, there were only more than a hundred left......

"Two ......"

Listen to Mu Su continue to read.

Faintly aware of something, they kept silent, staring at Mu Su with tangled eyes.

"Three, four, five, six, seven, twenty, thirty-four......"

Mu Su quickly counted.

"So." Joyce slapped his palm, diverting attention. In the background voice of Mu Su's counting, he spoke: "Act after dawn, and first explore the general situation within ten kilometers of the surroundings. Priority attention is given to the following: houses, dams, power ants, electrical parts, traces of human life—"

"There are 8 people left!"

Mu Su shouted loudly.

Joyce nodded, "We need your help." Next, we'll design a line where you use your skills to get them to find a way to escape Hale City and get here. ”

Mu Subi made an OK gesture.

One of the members suddenly asked with hesitation, "We can trust you, right?" ”

Mu Su's cheeks were resolute, and his eyes were burning and he looked at him and shouted, "Until death!" ”

Chen Yue couldn't stand this kind of hot blood and numbness, and touched the goosebumps on her arms.

The discussion is over, and the members of the busy day. While he wasn't there, Joyce and Chen Yue went to the control room with a few members of the team to start a new discussion and have something to do with Mu Su.

How to make the uncontrollable Musu controllable.

In other words: let him be serious. 8)
