Chapter Twenty-Four: The Living Corpses Litter the Winter House (Part I)
"Mr. Mayor, there is good news from the lighthouse, the coal mine discovered by the reconnaissance team can set up an outpost dispatch team, capable of transporting 800 coal resources per day."
"Mr. Mayor, we've discovered the location of the Winter House! If you can get in touch with the Winter House, you can get help there! ”
The liaison officer of the lighthouse personally handed over the discovery of the reconnaissance team today, but Li Jianghao was a little worried, if he did not send the reconnaissance team over when he found the Winter House, the citizens would definitely be confused.
There's nothing more exhilarating than discovering that there's another city alive in the middle of the ice. However, the fall of the Winter House is a foregone conclusion, and it is discovered that the decline of the city will directly reduce the hope of the citizens, forcing them to activate the order or the code of faith to restore hope to the people.
In the plot, the so-called London Gang event is also triggered. Some people would think that the doomsday talk was a hoax, and that the more well-resourced Winter House would not be able to survive in the snow, and that there was no point in them staying here.
Instead of heading straight back to London, where the industrial facilities are complete and the city's base is much larger than the Portal Camp. The ideas of these London gangs will gradually go to extremes, and if they do not take measures to stop them in the middle of the way, if they try to stop the London gangs when they try to leave, they will kill and injure people.
It was even more impossible to let them go, and in the increasingly cold conditions, these people would not survive more than two days. This problem will also be the most serious problem that Li Jianghao has faced since becoming mayor.
As long as you deal with the London gang plot caused by the Winter House, bring back all the survivors in the wild in the process, and prepare a large number of medical facilities in advance, you can sit back and wait for the steady stream of refugees to pour into the city, easily reaching a population of more than 650, waiting for customs clearance.
"Send an outpost to set off and set up an outpost in the coal mine as soon as possible. Also, have the Scout team enter the Winter House to make contact. If there is any accident, send a message back as soon as possible. ”
Li Jianghao gave an order, he must take the initiative to trigger this plot in advance. Now that all the locations on the map have been explored, unlocking new locations will have to wait until after exploring the Winter House. In order to discover Tesla City as soon as possible and get free steam cores, he can only do this.
After the order was issued, people's hope rose by 5%, and with the increase in hope that the new recruits to the camp had been fed and clothed in the past few days, the hope of New London had reached 70%.
Unfortunately, when the news of the Winter House comes back, these hopes will be gone.
As for the dissatisfaction value, Li Jianghao was a little puzzled, the dissatisfaction value has been fluctuating by 1-2% in the past few days, and it seems to be affected by something. But Li Jianghao couldn't find the problem.
It stands to reason that when the new residents settle down, the negative mood will also decrease, at least to 5% of the original level. But now it's stabilizing at 10% and it's starting to change, which doesn't bode well.
The hidden dangers of your own energy tower must be solved as soon as possible, and these problems must not be allowed to become the fuse of the thunderstorm collapse.
At this moment, the reconnaissance team far away from the coal mine exploration site kept the stored coal, did not dismantle the original coal mining machine, and was about to leave, heading in the direction of the winter house.
The team leader, named Arnold, has been thrilled since he spotted a sign leading to the Winter House in the coal mine. Sent back a message to the lighthouse, waiting for the mayor's order.
His nephew, Barry, is chosen to work as a worker at the Winter House, and as the only two people left in the family, Arno is eager to see his nephew and make sure he is safe. Despite the fact that any attempt by the Lighthouse to contact the Winter House has been unsuccessful in recent days, the Mayor "had to" send a reconnaissance team to the Winter House to find out.
These uneasiness kept Arnold in a string in his heart until today. They found that the last group of troops had been transported to the Winter's House three days earlier, and that there had never been an infestation from marauders like Eber.
Arnold felt that his nephew must still be alive, waiting for him at the Winter House.
"Barry, you must live." Arnold prayed in a low voice, and after receiving the order from the lighthouse to explore the Winter House, he led the team to begin to move towards the Winter House.
Five people with cloth on their backs stepped onto a sleigh with a rope attached to each other and sped across the snowfield. After a long time, the building of the Winter House loomed ahead.
However, what puzzled people was that they didn't see any of the steam smoke from the opening of the energy tower, as if there was a dead city in front of them.
The team members still don't have a full view of the city's buildings, but if they get closer, they will find that the towering buildings are full of ruins, and the people still standing in them present a terrifying picture for them.
"Is it strange that the House of Winter didn't open the Energy Tower?"
"Could something be wrong?"
Arnold listened to the whispers of the team members, a little displeased, and said:
"The Winter House is the largest Portal camp, what can happen? During the day, the energy tower can be turned off to save coal resources. I've heard this happen to engineers. ”
"Captain, you're right, it's that we're thinking too much. Once we arrive at the Winter House and establish contact, we will be able to exchange resources with each other, and your nephew, Captain, will be alive as well. ”
The team members hurriedly said, unwilling to touch Arnold's moldy head at this time. They didn't really want to see the Winter House decay and the population die, but they were just expressing their doubts.
"Alas, Captain, there seems to be a figure in front of us, is it that the lighthouse of the Winter House has discovered us and sent someone out to meet us!"
The sharp-eyed team members pointed ahead, and in the wind and snow, a staggering figure was walking towards them in the distance.
"Speed up guys!" Arnold shouted, untied the body hanging from his body, and after no restraint, he rushed towards the figure quickly.
Seeing this, the other team members could only follow.
"Run, run, get out of here..."
Arnold rushed to the front, and he could already hear the staggering figure muttering something, but he couldn't hear it clearly because of the wind and snow.
"Get out of here, the city is full of devils!"
The man shouted excitedly when he saw someone coming towards him, and his whole body fell to the ground due to the loss of strength.
Arnold, who arrived in front of him at this moment, noticed why this man was staggering all the way, it turned out that there was a shocking bite wound on one of his bare legs, and the bleeding quickly stopped because of the ice and snow.
But because the temperature was too low, the leg was about to lose its function, and even if this unlucky guy survived, he would have to amputate it.
