PS: Thank you very much to the book friend "Eternal 11" for the 10,000 starting coins that he rewarded last week, and this chapter is more for him.

――――

The wasteland world at night is full of darkness, and in this place, the black on the outskirts is the territory of the Grim Reaper.

In the place protected by those tall walls, it presents a different scene, although it is not a song and dance, but it is a rare piece of warmth.

It's just that this warmth is always accompanied by all kinds of busyness.

Especially for the survivors living in the town of Shaxi, this busyness has been going on for almost a month.

Because every day, a large number of trucks will bring back a large number of supplies from Erbilane, tens of millions of various clothes, and countless various daily necessities.

The entire outside of Shaxi Town is full of these things, and the people here have to sort out these materials every day.

Because the weather in the wasteland has begun to get cold, for the survivors who have been living in this era for almost two years, the third winter after the cataclysm is about to come.

Winter, in addition to humans and mutants, brings the worst chance to all survivors, ranking third.

Because the cold winter of the wasteland will really freeze to death, and the maximum temperature is minus 30 degrees.

And the duration of a winter often reaches four to five months, and in the cold winter, not to mention anything else, even the bolt of the gun cannot be opened.

For the survival of these survivors, it is simply worse, and an even more severe test has been put before all survivors around the world.

And this cold winter, the first year has not been so cold. But last year it started to get colder. This year is not yet the cold winter season. The weather is starting to get cooler.

Now, the entire sky of the earth is covered by that thick layer of clouds, and a large number of vegetation is dying, which makes this bad weather inevitably worse.

However, a few years of cold winter are no longer scary for all the survivors in Sand Town.

Because a large number of quilts have been distributed to everyone before the harsh winter, and every household has been installed with heating.

Even if the cold winter comes. No one is scared anymore.

But for the survivors outside, it was the beginning of a catastrophe, and due to the incompleteness of a large number of industrial and social structures, many safe zones simply did not have the capacity to produce those cold-resistant clothing.

In previous years, almost all of the stocks that were left over from the past were a huge disaster, and today if the temperature gets colder, it will be a huge disaster again.

The most important thing is that once the severe cold comes, it will greatly affect the normal development and activities of everything.

Many safe zones have begun to stock up on nutrients and all sorts of things necessary for the winter.

But all of these things are in high demand, and almost no one wants to trade them.

Those security zones where supplies are insufficient. It is highly likely that it will not survive this harsh winter, and some safe zones have begun to sell slaves in large quantities. Even those who survived were sold.

It is hoped that the population of the safe zone will be reduced and the consumption of materials in the cold winter period will be reduced.

It's just that they can think of other safe zones, and no one wants to take in these slaves or the survivors who have been kicked out without any skills.

As a result, many people have to start to get out of the safety zone, and they can find a safer place to spend the harsh winter.

However, some people are becoming active, especially cannibals, who have no concerns about this, because what they eat is humans.

So no matter how many humans there are, for them, it's all food for the winter.

When it was peaceful here in the base, in fact, outside, it was already bloody and carnage.

This winter has not officially arrived, and there are already many survivors who have died in the environment before the arrival of winter.

But for Cai Ruichen, there is another question in front of him, is it to recover those safe zones before the cold winter officially begins, or after the cold winter, wait for those safe zones to all have just survived the cold winter, accumulate enough strength, and take advantage of the situation to subdue?

Even if there are a lot of things in reality, Cai Ruichen has to start thinking about the sudden arrival of this cold winter in the wasteland.

Because for this cold winter, he was almost unprepared, and he didn't get any news in advance.

Those survivors didn't know that the people in the original base didn't know about the cold winter, and naturally they didn't deliberately talk about these things.

Therefore, when Cai Ruichen got the news, he was really caught off guard.

It's been almost a month since the fourth mission of the base.

The official arrival of winter should be in the next half month, but it is very likely to last more than five months or even six months.

And the time of the arrival of the cold winter is also uncertain, and almost nine months have passed since the end of the last cold winter.

This also made Cai Ruichen even if he came to the wasteland for more than eight months, but he never encountered such a situation.

The interval between the first and second winters was only three months, and although the interval was nine months, it was clear that the chill in the air was even colder.

Due to this uncertainty in time, everyone here does not know when the cold winter will come.

You can only feel the temperature outside through your own body, and then make a judgment.

Because before the arrival of winter, the temperature is very suitable for human survival, once there is a significant cooling, it is a sign of the arrival of winter.

And according to the analysis, the arrival of this cold winter, and after an interval of nine months, may last longer.

Because the time of the second cold winter is only three months away from the first cold winter, and it only lasts for two months.

And within six months of the beginning of the Great Tribulation, and for four months.

Therefore, some people speculate that this cold winter, which occurred after a gap of nine months, may last for at least half a year.

If the current month is added to half a year, it will be a real worse situation for Cai Ruichen's plan.

Because the requirements for obtaining Libyan base vehicles are only eight months, once the next six months are all in the cold winter, and it is still the environment where the temperature is generally more than 40 degrees below zero, it will not be possible to send troops to fight.

When the cold winter passes, there will be only one month left, and this month, it is simply impossible to completely recover the wasteland of Erbil Province.

Because in addition to recovering those cities, he also has to consider recovering those safe zones, after all, with the existence of a second party, none of them are occupied. (To be continued.) )
