Chapter V: Mass Action
Holding the old clothes in his hand, Huang Yi gritted his teeth and chose to strengthen again, he wanted to see what changed in the end.
The dress in his hand is an old long-sleeved T-shirt, the clothes that have been worn for an unknown period of time have long been washed and faded to their original color, and the quality is not very good, it is easy to tear if the strength is a little greater, and it does not have much effect.
Clothes that have been strengthened to +2, if you want to strengthen to +3, you need 8 so-called energy, and the success rate is only 70%, because the first two times were successful, let's just say success, after all, he didn't show a state of failure and no one prompted Huang Yi, because he didn't know what the effect would be after 30% failure.
"Yes......!" , Looking at the box in his eyes, Huang Yi silently recited the word in his heart and confirmed the strengthening.
Then, once again, he felt weak, as if something had been stripped from his body, and his head was dizzy, and he almost didn't pass out again.
After reconfirming the strengthening, the clothes in his hand did not change much, there was no golden light flashing as expected, and everything looked as if nothing had happened.
Cheering up, Huang Yi couldn't wait to look at the introduction in the box in his sight, and was stunned to find that the introduction above had not changed significantly.
Clothes (gray font) strong, +3.
Worn-out clothes to keep out the cold (white font)
Can be strengthened, enhancement +4 requires energy consumption of 10 points, 60% enhancement successful, 40% enhancement failed item damage, is it strengthened? Yes/No. (Gold Font)
This is the change in the box that Huang Yi's clothes in his hand show on the box that he can see after strengthening again, and there is no peculiar effect, but +2 has become +3, and the need for strengthening below has also changed a lot.
"Huh? No, there's a problem here, when +1, it's just a little cold, if I'm not mistaken, when +2, the introduction of this position is to be able to slightly protect against the cold, and now +3, but it's become able to protect against the cold, and the previous adjectives are gone, what's going on"? Huang Yi carefully compared and observed, and finally found the change, which he didn't pay attention to before.
The clothes in his hand still look like that, and there is no change to the touch, but I don't know if it's an illusion, Huang Yi feels that there is a long-lost sense of warmth when holding this dress in his hand and touching the clothes with his hand!
You must know that today's weather conditions, dust and clouds obscured the sun, the ground temperature has almost always been below minus ten degrees, no matter where it is cold, especially in the cave, in order to avoid lack of oxygen and no fire, it is even more cold and damp, because it has been a long time, I am used to it, so I don't feel it, but at this time, holding the clothes, Huang Yi actually has a little warm feeling, which has to be said to be like a miracle!
"No, this dress doesn't look like it has changed to the touch, but I always feel that it has become a lot stronger", after looking at it over and over again, Huang Yi muttered to himself in confusion again.
In order to verify the guess in his heart, he pulled his clothes with his hands, and finally he couldn't tear them with his best strength, although his strength was very small because of weakness, thinness, hunger, cold, etc., but he didn't know how many years he had worn the clothes that he couldn't tear them, which is worth wondering.
In the end, he couldn't understand it, so he could only shake his head and say: "Whatever, it's good to have a little effect, but the effect doesn't seem to be so big, and there is no improvement effect on my current condition, well, I'm dizzy, let's sleep and rest."
Saying this, he thought for a moment, took off his coat, and put the strengthened garment inside, and then put on his coat again and curled up on the 'bed' made of the haystack.
"It's so comfortable, it doesn't feel so cold", Huang Yi, who closed his eyes, muttered, wearing the upper body of the strengthened clothes, he actually felt a warm feeling, he didn't know how long he hadn't felt like this, it was like returning to his mother's arms, which made people obsessed, but unfortunately, the lower body was still cold.
Because in today's harsh environment, there is almost no distinction between day and night, and in order to conserve energy and food, almost everyone sleeps most of the day and nests in their own nests.
I don't know how long I slept, Huang Yi woke up vaguely, and every time concept, stretched his waist, and felt comfortable all over, I haven't slept so comfortably for a long, long time, but it's just that the upper body feels this way, and the lower body is still a little numb from the cold after waking up.
"It still looks like it's working, is it because of the effect of the strengthened clothes? Although it's just to keep warm, it doesn't have to be so cold, it's good", stood up and moved his hands and feet, he said to himself happily, even if he got up, Huang Yi didn't feel so cold in his upper body.
In fact, people in this period are very easy to be satisfied, to be able to eat, dress and live warmly, this is the greatest satisfaction, so it seems that Huang Yi's dream has been realized by one-third, half-dead, the upper body is not so cold, it adds up to one-third of the three dreams.
After sleeping and getting up, I don't know if it's because of that dress, Huang Yi felt that he was a lot more energetic, and even the state that had become weak last night because of the strengthening had recovered, of course, hunger was inevitable and he was used to it, so he ignored it.
"Is Xiao Yi awake"?
An old and hoarse voice came from the entrance of the 'single room' cave where Huang Yi lived.
"Uncle Jiang, I'm awake, are you okay?" Huang Yi looked at Uncle Jiang who appeared at the 'door' and smiled.
This Black Mountain Fort, except for Zhu Rulong and their group of demon-like guys, everyone else is actually quite easy to get along with, in such a crisis world, if you can't help each other, it is difficult to survive, and Uncle Jiang, who lives next door to Huang Yi, has the best relationship with Huang Yi.
Of course, what Huang Yi didn't know was that Uncle Jiang just saw him as a pitiful child, and his own children were also killed, so he took good care of him.
"Well, I can't die yet, it's time to go out and look for food again today, how are you ready"? Uncle Jiang came in, looked at Huang Yi in this dim and almost invisible environment, and said.
"Ah, I almost forgot", Huang Yi exclaimed, and suddenly began to get busy, he slept so comfortably before that he forgot that today was the time to go out to find food.
"Don't worry, it's still early", Uncle Jiang said with a smile and helped Huang Yi prepare.
The so-called preparation is just to make yourself wear a little thicker to prevent it from being cold outside, and secondly, wrap the things inside the bamboo pieces with strips of cloth on your hands and feet, which is to prevent being bitten by monsters, of course, the defense effect is minimal.
Finally, drape yourself with a tarpaulin and bring a small shovel made of hard wooden strips, and you're done.
People like Huang Yi and them who live in Black Mountain Fort, they don't want to have anything in the iron weapon at all, although no one said it, but everyone knows that this is Zhu Rulong and they used iron tools to prevent the people below from hurting them, but no one paid attention to this method a long time ago, with Huang Yi and their thin and soft state, they don't want to hurt Zhu Rulong and their people at all.
Everything was ready, Huang Yi and Uncle Jiang left the cave, the blocked entrance to the cave had been moved, and there were already some people standing outside.
Well, today is a good weather, the gloomy sky seems to be blown away, the visibility has improved to about fifty meters, and there is no cold rain, which is the best weather for Huang Yi and others.
While waiting, there was a commotion from inside the cave, and everyone avoided it and didn't dare to speak, because at this time, the boss of Black Mountain Fort, Zhu Rulong, appeared.
Zhu Rulong is a big fat man, he is 1.8 meters tall, and his weight is probably close to 250 pounds, and he still has such a good body in today's environment, which everyone envies, because he eats well every day and doesn't work, who doesn't envy him?
Zhu Rulong, who had a fierce face, was holding a rusty but sharpened machete in his hand, and a gun at his waist, surrounded by more than 20 subordinates, came to the entrance of the cave, Zhu Fei, who had bullied Huang Yi before, Zhu Rulong's son on the surface, followed Zhu Rulong with a fake tiger at this time.
"Today is the day of collection again, I won't say anything superfluous, let's take action", Zhu Fei, who appeared at the entrance of the cave, said bluntly.
Then, Huang Yi and the others silently went to the side, took wooden barrels, bamboo baskets and other things, and left the wall under the leadership of Zhu Rulong and others, and entered the cold and dark field.
Black Mountain Fort, every few days there is a collection day, to put it bluntly, it is a day to find food, only on such days as the 'castle master' Zhu Rulong will appear, other times he himself in the cave to enjoy.
During the collection day, Zhu Rulong will personally take everyone out, he and his subordinates protect Huang Yi and others, of course, they can't really save them when they are in danger, they deserve to die.
And as people like Huang Yi and them, when they come back, the container on everyone's body must be full, if it is not full, the end is worrying, either there is no food or they are beaten, and more than half of the people are unable to complete the collection task every time.
Of course, although the collection day is the collective action of the entire Black Mountain Fort, Zhu Rulong will still leave a few subordinates to guard the old nest, after all, Zhu Rulong's wives need someone to protect them, that's right, in this Black Mountain Castle with less than 100 people, Zhu Rulong, as the boss, has several wives, three to be exact, how did he come about? It's just ...... to occupy it by strong means.
(Ask for recommendation, ask for collection)
