In the next few days, the number of people who became professionals that Zhou Bai received every day showed an increasing trend, and the number of people became more and more day by day.

Just when Zhou Bai thought it would go on so smoothly, on the 25th day of the doomsday game, special weather came.

Zhou Bai got up early as always to summon NPCs, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened the door, his eyes were full of white, and the snow on the ground of the territory had accumulated a thin layer, and the cold wind was even more blowing.

Zhou Bai closed the door without thinking, and then returned to the room and put on the cold-resistant three-piece suit prepared in advance.

During this time, although it was sunny in the territory, since the last rainy day, she bought a lot of other materials that are only available in special weather from the system mall and asked Diana to prepare 100 copies each, and hung them in the tailor's shop one after another.

As for the price, Zhou Bai directly listed it at a high price, after all, the materials are expensive, and the price of goods cannot be cheap, and the reason why this is so is also to get a look at the wool of some "rich" people in the territory.

After all, if you buy equipment in advance, you can seize the opportunity in such weather.

And these strengths that are willing to buy in advance are definitely ranked in the territory, and they can also collect more special materials for the territory to save Zhou Bai money.

Zhou Bai naturally bought it in advance, and by the way, she also asked her mother to buy it.

This time, it came in handy.

As soon as the clothes are put on the body, the warmth effect is leveraged.

Subsequently, she went directly to her parents' room and woke up the two.

When the two woke up, they were still a little dazed.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Zhengping asked.

"It's a snowy day today, it's starting to snow heavily outside, and the temperature will slowly drop, so you guys hurry up and change into cold suits." Zhou Bai reminded.

When Zhou Bai said this, the two of them really felt that the temperature in the house seemed to have dropped a lot.

When they got dressed and opened the door, they couldn't help but shudder when they looked outside.

It's cold to watch!

"Fortunately, I heard that you bought it earlier, otherwise you would really suffer." Ding Qiurou hurriedly turned around and put on a cold-resistant suit, and although her body was hot at this time, when she spoke, a mist came out.

"How many winter suits?" Zhou Zhengping looked at the goose feather snow, felt the temperature around him, and frowned slightly.

"In addition to the soldiers alone, there are only 100 sets of each weather, and even if Diana rushes to work immediately with her apprentices, it is impossible to supply them all at once." Zhou Bai said, Diana is really busy during this time, she doesn't stop every day, and it is already good to be able to prepare some equipment for various weather in advance.

"Then you should immediately post the task and acquisition notice!" Zhou Zhengping said directly, and he was ready to go out immediately.

"Hmm." Zhou Bai said, and immediately released the task of collecting materials, and updated the acquisition announcement.

[Mission: Picking Special Materials]

[Nature: Snow Day Limited Mission]

*

[Acquisition of cedar resin, 10 copper coins/unit]

【……】

As soon as he received the task notice, Zhou Zhengping went out directly with the hat of the last rainy day, and unsurprisingly received a notice of a decrease in health, but for the promoted professionals, this bit of health was drizzling.

"Breakfast......" Ding Qiurou hurriedly said.

"Wife, you continue to rest in the house, and I'll go to the restaurant to eat." Zhou Zhengping's words came directly from the wind and snow.

At this time, after Zhou Zhengping, there were also many professionals in the residential area who hurriedly went out after receiving the news, and most of them still used the anti-rain equipment from the last time, at least it can have a small anti-effect effect.

These people already know the territorial routine, but although it is a little more expensive, it is also an advantage to be able to go out one step earlier, one more day than others every day, and over the years, they will definitely be able to take a big step earlier.

As for the other part of the professionals, with the experience of the last rainy day, they knew that the territory had been prepared, so they were not in a hurry, and many of them just nested in their rooms and lit braziers to keep warm, waiting for the tailor to come out again.

Some ordinary residents who have not yet been promoted to the profession immediately delved into the business opportunities.

The output of the tailor shop in the territory can't keep up, and there must be a lot of people who are cold now.

Immediately, some people tried to make warm clothes and quilts out of animal skin linen at home.

As for the fact that you can't go hungry on a snowy day, it doesn't exist in Hope Village.

There are even many Buddhists who plan to give themselves a little day off and invite friends to roast together.

"The wood is slightly concentrated on the fire to keep warm, and if you can hold on to it, wait for noon, and everyone will eat hot pot together!"

"Great!"

All of a sudden, the residential area was already lively.

Ding Qiurou looked at the situation outside and smiled knowingly.

After this period of time, everyone's ability to resist pressure is really much stronger.

Immediately, they were ready to burn a fire in the house.

As a result, as soon as I turned around, I saw Zhou Bai with a somewhat worried expression, "What's wrong?" Is something else going on? ”

"In weather like this, the migration of residents will be hindered, and these days are a critical period for receiving populations." Zhou Bai said directly.

After the previous territorial war, the population of the territory has grown explosively, and then many residents from other territories have been taken in, and the growth rate has entered a steady state, so far, the population of the territory is 772 people.

There are only 5 days left until the countdown to the newbie protection period.

This means that, in addition to the 16 names occupied by the undead NPCs and orc NPCs, she must absorb 212 people in 4 days, and at a normal rate, she will be able to advance to the territory before the novice protection period.

But now, not necessarily.

"What then?" Ding Qiurou listened, and she was also a little nervous, she knew that Zhou Bai started his career during this time and sold silver equipment, in order to improve the strength of the territory as soon as possible and deal with the beast tide when upgrading.

If something goes wrong, I'm afraid that the next plan will also be affected, which is a chain reaction.

"There's only one way, send someone to take the initiative and go farther away to find survivors, or even other territories...... Dig people. Zhou Bai had thought of this unexpected plan before.

After all, Zhou Bai is still quite confident in the current construction of his territory.

In particular, there have been many residents from other territories recently, who are oppressed in other territories and are reluctant to stay, and there are many people who want to leave but dare not leave.

If someone picks it up, it's definitely different.

Ding Qiurou listened to Zhou Bai's idea, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "It's okay, it just happens to be a rescue." ”

"Hmm." Zhou Bai nodded, she thought the same way, it was not a bad thing for both parties!

After thinking about it, Zhou Bai continued to release the task.

[Mission: Go on an outing mission with the undead NPCs and orc NPCs to absorb 212 inhabitants for the territory]

[Nature: Temporary Mission]

[Rewards: Contribution, Copper Coins, Cold-Resistant Equipment, Sleeping Bags, etc.]

[Target: All residents (those who know the location of other territories are preferred)]

[Requirements: Professional]

This time, she gave a lot of rewards.

Not to mention the cold-resistant equipment, the sleeping bag was obtained by her father last time he killed the level 9 Night Blade Leopard, and when he came back, he gave her the drawings, and she didn't go online considering that she didn't go out, but this time it can come in handy.

Immediately, after seeing the task on the personal panel, Zhou Bai signed up on the panel of the contribution task as soon as possible.

At this moment, Zhou Bai walked towards the NPC gathering place openly.

*

Bayer and other NPCs received Zhou Bai's task as soon as possible, and almost at the first glance of the task, Bayer knew Zhou Bai's purpose.

"My lord, this is to upgrade the territory to level 2?" Dennis asked directly from the side, and apparently, he also guessed.

"Today is a snowy day, and it is very likely that the human race will not migrate, and if it does not move, no one will join the territory, and if the number of people is not enough, there will be no way to advance." Heidi added on the side.

"In that case, why don't we just send out the undead legion and let those orcs come with us? Can they do good things? Alec said dissatisfiedly, he still couldn't like those orcs, he was lazy and slippery, and when he saw money, it was unpleasant to look at.

Bayer listened to their words and said directly: "Not all orcs are like that, Baker and Aina are good, and for orcs, Lord Lord is prepared." ”

These two sheep-headed people were specially explained by Zhou Bai to the Bayer team, and he was still troublesome at the earliest, but these two sheep-headed people are really different, following behind their corps, they are obediently and skillfully working nearby, either collecting seeds of vegetables and fruits, or capturing small magical beasts for research, and it is very comfortable to work with them.

"Does the lord want to judge whether or not to continue to hire the orcs based on their performance?" Hearing Bayer's words, Dennis asked keenly.

Bayer glanced at him, noncommittal, apparently acquiescing to his words.

The others knew it in an instant.

Immediately afterward, Bayer gave the task, "Go to their house and call someone." ”

Heidi and the others listened, and directly sent their subordinates.

Now the entire legion of the undead is divided into 4 squads.

The infantry team is managed by Heidi, a level 19 junior mage, after all, she is the highest-ranking undead in the group, and she is one step away from the intermediate mage, in charge of 10 mages with high damage values.

The shield team is managed by Frey, another level 18 junior mage, who is in charge of 5 mages with high defense values.

The archers were led by the archers Alik and Simmons, a total of 15 archers.

The last team was Dennis, who was on his own team.

After a while, 32 orc NPCs came to Bayer one by one, led by Lucas and O'Neill, their expressions were not unusual, but behind them, there were obviously a few pig-headed people, looking tired, and the whole person also looked lazy and lazy.

One of Heidi's subordinates whispered a few words in her ear, and then Heidi whispered in Bayer's ear, "Those pig-headed men were called by O'Neill and Lucas themselves." ”

Bayer looked at Lucas and O'Neill in surprise, and after not seeing each other for a while, their attitude towards Hope Village had changed somewhat.

Thinking about it, Bayer said directly: "Lucas, O'Neill, the two of you each lead a squad into the infantry team and the shield team!" You should also know the mission, is there a problem? ”

"Nope." The two had no objection.

During this time, they all followed the human soldier team to do things, and they also felt a lot of things, which made them face up to Hope Village, and as soon as they saw the mission today, the two of them knew that maybe it was their chance, the opportunity to form an independent team instead of being scattered.

Anyway, they will perform well in this task, as for Paul, the people who have followed them for a long time have been lax, but he doesn't even listen to them, and they really can't order them because of the difference in rank.

O'Neill glanced at Lucas on the side, is it true that he said that after this mission, someone will be dismissed?

Just as O'Neill was thinking this, Paul the Pig-headed spoke, "I have, I say on behalf of us Pig-Headed that we don't want to go on such a long mission, we still follow the human soldiers." ”

As Paul spoke, the big head was particularly determined.

Bayer listened, his eyes narrowing slightly.

It was also at this time that Zhou Bai came over.

She didn't expect to see the passive side of the orc NPC as soon as she came over, so she directly interjected with a soft hum: "Are you sure?" ”

Suddenly hearing Zhou Bai's voice, a group of NPCs brushed over, and Bayer and the others immediately saluted.

After Zhou Bai's head signaled, he looked at the pig-headed man Paul.

"Sure, it's fine for us to follow the human soldiers."

Zhou Bai thought about what Zhou Zhengping mentioned to him last night, as soon as he got out of the territory, the pig-headed people would basically take the opportunity to slip away, and then vaguely hand over some materials at night, and then look at the bull-headed people who were fluctuating, and said directly: "Okay." ”

As Paul listened, a fat smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he knew it.

As a result, in the next moment, the smiling face froze directly in place.

[Your employer wants the village to terminate your employment with you, and you are about to return to your territory of Orcas.] 】

"I don't want to be dismissed, I'm willing to ......," Paul could say before he could finish his words and disappeared with seven of his people.

Looking at their disappearing figures, Zhou Bai thought in his heart, the orc NPCs summoned from the Beast God Temple these days are very even, and I don't know if she will send the pig-headed people again after she is terminated from her employment with the pig-headed people?

Putting this thought behind him, Zhou Bai looked at O'Neill and the other orcs with surprised faces, and said directly: "Do you have any questions about the mission?" ”

The orcs shook their heads frantically.

They are all just junior warriors, and there is absolutely no hope for the village to live well in their original territory, and what they do every day now is not difficult at all, and in such a situation, they definitely don't want to leave.

Speaking of which, they know about the laziness of the pig-headed people, and they are thinking about whether to follow suit! Next, they definitely won't dare!

Seeing that they had no opinions, Zhou Bai looked at Bayer, "This task will be handed over to you to be fully responsible, and someone should come to you later, you can watch and pick people yourself!" ”

Saying that, Zhou Bai gave a lot of cold-resistant suits and sleeping bags.

"Well, don't worry!" Get the thing, Bayer immediately assured.

"Then I'll go." Zhou Bai saw that someone was already coming towards this side, and said directly, she really wanted to go out for a walk with her, but now the territory needs her as a lord, so she can only be handed over to Bayer.

Undead NPCs and Orc NPCs are not afraid of the cold of snowy days, so they are the best candidates.

As for the people who follow them, there are cold-resistant equipment to use alternately, and there are sleeping bags at night to keep the temperature constant, and they go for two or three days, even if it is snowing, there will be no problem.

Soon, Zhou Bai, who left, ran into several residents who came to sign up.

"Big guy, why did you leave?"

Zhou Bai listened and said helplessly: "What they want is someone from other territories, and I have always been in Hope Village, so it is not suitable." ”

"Uh-oh." The others listened, and some of the inexperienced ones simply gave up, and the rest of them rushed to Bayer.

Zhou Bai also saw Zhong Yongnian's figure in it.

Such a liver emperor, if he doesn't have a liver today, he wants to go to other territories?

Although he felt surprised, he had a personal choice, and Zhou Bai quickly left it behind.

Moments later, Bayer finished selecting the candidates and set off with the team.
