Chapter 260: Water Shelter Base

Lin Wu switched to the public channel: "Old thing, drowned?" ”

Stone: "I won't die if you die." ”

Lin Wu laughed: "Knife, now help me kill him immediately and give you two snow eggs." ”

Knife: "I don't want it." ”

Lin Wu: "Don't want two snow eggs, don't want snow eggs, or don't kill the stones?" ”

Knife snorted: "If I say kill the stone, you will say that I don't think one snow egg is enough." If I say I don't want two snow eggs, you'll say I don't even want two snow eggs for the sake of stones. I won't be fooled. ”

Peanut: "Well said, applause!" ”

There were few responders, and Lin Wu said: "Brothers and sisters, let's play mahjong together." Play credit mahjong once. ”

"What do you mean?"

Lin Wu said: "Everyone is in their own dormitories, playing cards through headsets. One set of mahjong per person. ”

Shanna asked, "Hit your own?" ”

Lin Wu replied: "Yes, this is credit mahjong, whoever lies is a crooked boy." ”

Shanna said, "Well, that would be messy, right?" ”

Shi said: "I think we can try." ”

So the Shadow held the first session of the 12-player mahjong to begin.

Stone: "Gojo." ”

Maya: "I'll eat." ”

Cotton: "Stop, I'll touch." ”

"Stop, I'm the biggest, the bar is the biggest." Draw, five-of-a-kind, peanuts: "Complement, birdie." ”

Lin Wu: "If you touch it, I'm going to touch it if you haven't touched it...... Gojo! ”

Cotton: "I'll touch it." ”

Shanna: "I'm big, I'm big." ”

Cotton frenzy: "How can there be a bar?" "I'm angry.

Everyone writes the order of cards on paper, strictly requires themselves not to peek, not to cheat, and to sit alone in the dormitory. If you don't play, it's quite fun to play, and the first typhoon day ends in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

……

The next day, the wind was a little lighter, but the rain still didn't stop, and the water on the first floor of the Doomsday Fortress had reached a depth of one meter. It's not that the means of flood discharge are ineffective, but because the river is flooding and backflowing. The seawall road, which is about 50 centimeters higher than the first floor, is now completely submerged by the river. The only pickup truck at the base was half of the body soaked in water. Fortunately, the system only counts damage, not soaking.

The Shadow Sawmill goes all the way up to the north, and the flood water flows down and into the sawmill. Coupled with the surge in the water of the small river in the south back gate, the entire base has been completely soaked in water. The waterline is 1.3 meters, which has submerged the first floor of the dormitory, and is only 20 cm away from the bed on the second floor.

Worse still, the Shadow doesn't have any means of draining the flood, as the surrounding industrial areas are all submerged in water. Early in the morning, Su Shi made a small boat and two oars out of wood according to the instructions of the stone, and relied on the small boat to swing around in the base. The boat attracted everyone's interest, and everyone lined up to row the boat.

The most uncomfortable thing for players during the soaking period is the clothes. They only change into dry clothes in their own beds, and when they leave their beds, they have to change into wet clothes, and they have to leave a set of dry clothes for themselves. After all, no matter how capable the NPC is, it can't dry its clothes in this weather.

Watching Snow Egg and Knife rowing happily, Horse Soul and Starlight caught fish, but there were basically no fish biting the hook. In the last days, without farmers raising fish, floods would not have been able to wash away the fish ponds, and naturally there would not be so many fish.

Shanna: "Hey, hey. Don't go out. Seeing that Knife and Snow Egg were about to rock the boat to the edge of the safe zone, Shanna immediately stopped her. Once swept away by the current, it is basically impossible to find it back. As far as the eye can see, only the base security zone is still water.

The stone waded to Shanna's side and said, "You go and occupy the weather station as a sub-base, let everyone take a breath, and at least dry their clothes." "The weather station is on the slope north of the sawmill, which is very close, but there is no water due to the height difference.

Shanna said, "Score five manpower." ”

"Don't do your research first, deal with your emotions first."

Shanna nodded and beckoned the field team to start work and easily occupy the weather station. Then the two bases are aligned, and everyone can go to the weather station to rest. Although there is no full-time NPC, it can be used to bake the fire and roast clothes. Ma Soul also took some ingredients and cooked a smorgasbord hot pot in the living room of the weather station.

Although the morale has stabilized, there are not many ingredients left. Today is the last day of the week for NPCs, and both bases have decided to temporarily abandon plans to hire NPCs, and the individual's clothes will be handled by the individual.

The cofferdam of the Doomsday Fortress is still there. The floods, as ferocious as they were, could not raise sea levels by a single centimetre. However, floodwaters can cover tidal flats at low tide.

The cofferdam location is close to the warehouse area. Under normal circumstances, at low tide, the water of the Zuoxian River will flow from the river channel on the side of the tidal flat into the sea. Now the tide is low and the water does not recede. In the event that the flood waters do not recede, it is not possible to catch fish through the cofferdam.

Maya stood on the top floor of the container and looked at it for a long time, then silently returned to her dormitory. Lin Wu, who was sitting at the door of the dormitory, saw this scene and connected Maya: "I'll go to the mountain to have a look." He knew she was worried about food.

Maya said, "During a rainstorm, the beast stays in its lair. Just after talking to Shanna on the phone, the problem of food has become a big problem after two fields were flooded. The situation is fine for now, and if the current situation remains for more than five days, rations will have to be reduced. And only staple foods remain. ”

Maya said, "I'm thinking of using the Magnum Card to build a ranch in the Doomsday Fortress. But first to expand the base. After a month's efforts, we are still short of 100 building materials. ”

Lin Wu said: "Shadow has a lot of building materials. ”

"No, since the Snow Egg lost its soundproofing technology, Shadow has stopped cutting logs, let alone sawing wood with equipment." Previously, due to the increase in the threat value, several commanders decided to strengthen the sawmill fence after deliberation. A lot of building materials were used in the reinforcement work. Maya goes into more detail, she doesn't agree with reinforcing the fence at first, but instead proposes to expand the Doomsday Bastion, and proposes the idea of building a ranch with a wildcard card.

Stone believes that the Doomsday Fortress does not currently provide the necessary conditions for all to survive, and this opinion convinces Maya, who in turn agrees to strengthen the fence. At the same time, the stone made it clear that it would definitely move the base when the conditions were ripe. Now that Shadow's building materials are all used to strengthen the sawmill defenses, the Doom Fortress needs to solve the building materials needed to expand the base by itself.

Maya: "The next days are going to be tough, we need to collect building materials, we need to get food, and everyone has to work harder to get there. Although hiring NPCs solves the problem of laundry, it is a luxury after all, and this benefit will have to be cut sooner or later. Stone hopes to find one or two volunteer laundry workers in the shadows. ”

Can't you wash it yourself? Of course, you can, but as Maya said, the work will be more arduous in the future, and it is the most scientific way to have a full-time person take care of the laundry. So the question comes back to who wants to be a full-time laundry?

In practice, there are two other ways. The first option is to occupy the laundry room in the living quarters as an outpost, so that you can enjoy free laundry services. The second option is to build a laundry room, and there is a hard condition for building a laundry room, which requires a washing machine.

Since entering the game, whether it is normal mode or hardcore mode, all electrical appliances are damaged and cannot be repaired, and the only role can only be broken into parts. Not to mention washing machines, as long as they contain chips and hardware, they are basically damaged and cannot be repaired.

In the summer, Maya checked a lot of information in the warehouse area, but never found any clues related to electrical appliances, let alone washing machines.

Is it impossible to get a washing machine? No, there is no point in having a laundry room if you can't get a washing machine. It is known that the only way to obtain household appliances such as washing machines and televisions is through the Fort Wandering Traders. Since the launch of the service, there has only been one fortress wandering merchant in Beishang Town and even all over the country. The Fort Wandering Merchant will spend 12 hours in a certain place, and in order to trade with him, he will not only need to find him, but also bring enough items to his satisfaction.

When the Fort Wandering Merchant first appeared in Beishang Town, Lin Wu and Shanna were drilling into the sewers and didn't take the Fort Merchant to heart. Someone who is destined to find the Fort Merchant and find that in addition to selling advanced skill books, he also sells all kinds of advanced plug-ins, blueprints, and various electrical appliances. One of the plans is called the Bastion Barracks, which has six individual beds like the Barracks, but with an increase of five meters in height, which is equivalent to an increase in the area of personal movement.

The next day was spent chatting and sleeping.

Early in the morning of the third day, the sun rose in Yunkai, and the water levels at the two bases also decreased slightly. This is a unique reflection of typhoon days, which not only does not mean that the typhoon has passed, but rather indicates that you are in the eye of the typhoon, that is, you are in the very center of the typhoon.

Maya had planned to open a temporary base on Route 99, where the terrain is high and timber is abundant, and wildlife may be found. Even if you get nothing, it's better than being trapped in a fortress of doom. However, the manpower is insufficient, the total number of Shadows is 12, and it costs 5 manpower to form an alliance with the weather station, and 5 manpower to form an alliance with the Doom Fortress, so there is no more manpower to open a base.

After some deliberation, Shadow decided to abolish the weather station sub-base and establish a base in a lumber yard near the mountains. Each base left the necessary personnel behind, and the rest of the group went to the temporary base of the lumberyard.

After Doom and Shadow cost 10 manpower to form an alliance with the Lumberyard, the Lumberyard began to build a kitchen. The role of the bed is to improve morale, which has been decoupled from sleep. Whether you're sleeping in a bed or in the wilderness, as long as you get enough sleep and have your own bed at your base, you're all right.

Su Shi, Starlight, and Emerald Feather stay at the Shadow Sawmill. Su Shi stayed behind because of necrophobia, and the two doctors stayed at the base because they needed to receive remote treatment at any time. On the other side, Maya stayed in the Doomsday Fortress, and Lin Wu handed over the temporary custody of Xiao Wei to Maya to prevent her from being too lonely to stay at the base alone.

A morning passed by setting up sub-bases, dissolving alliances, and forming alliances. As everyone sat around the campfire at the lumber yard and ate Yangchun noodles, dark clouds covered the sun and heavy rain returned.

The lumber yard is located one kilometre from Highway 99 and faces north to plantations and mountains to the north. There are two large separate buildings in the lumberyard, one is where the lumberjacks live, eat and live. One is a large warehouse for tools and vehicles. In the open space around the logging site, large logs, each weighing 100 kilograms, are neatly stacked at the edge of the safety zone.

The temporary base was selected in the lumberjack's living quarters. The situation was as expected, and there was no standing water indoors or outdoors. After lunch, everyone spread the blankets and sleeping bags they brought on the floor, put on their raincoats and started working.

The team is divided into three groups, the first group is led by stones, and they cut down logs for building materials, which can be cut down for planting trees or logs piled up in the square. The second group is Knife and Snow Egg, and their mission is to find herbs and fall in love by the way. The third group, Lin Wu and Shanna, will go deep into the primeval forest areas of the plantation forest, and even go to the vicinity of the mountains in search of prey.

The reason why Shanna was arranged to follow Lin Wu was that on the one hand, they were old partners, and on the other hand, someone had to watch Lin Wu, so as not to mess around. Although many cases are looking for Lin Wu, it also indirectly shows that Lin Wu has a lot of things. From a metaphysical point of view, the stone thinks that Lin Wu has done too many bad things and is easy to be punished by God. From a scientific point of view, Lin Wu's points may be the highest in the whole server, and the possibility of Shuguang secretly making trouble cannot be ruled out.

The main purpose of everyone going to the sub-base is to avoid flooding. There are a lot of building materials in stock in the two bases, and for the first group who are accustomed to a lazy life, everyone's motivation is insufficient, and there is a negative slack of work. Stone is also not easy to supervise, first, he has no prestige in this regard, and second, it is somewhat inhumane to let employees work in the rain. So the first group was split into two groups, one group guarding the house, one group chopping wood, working in shifts, changing shifts and resting.

The duo of Lin Wu who entered the plantation forest did not find any wild beasts, but they found a berry forest. After the stone received the report, he asked the Shoujia group to go to the berry forest to collect the berries. Lin Sha and the others continued to go deeper and went to the primeval forest area.

A dense canopy of Uncle trees sheltered from the rain, and the soil near its roots remained somewhat dry. Lin Wu took off his raincoat and hat, beckoned Shanna to rest under the big tree, and then released the drone and turned on the thermal search mode to find the traces of the beast. Thermal mode is more time-consuming than visual mode, requiring you to hover over an area and constantly scanning the area, and it also consumes a lot of power.

There is an advantage to attending with Shanna, Shanna will take the initiative to chat, gossip, and talk about interesting things. Maybe it's because of the weather, but it's not a good thing to talk about today.

"Complaining?" Lin Wu said: "Is it my complaint, or is it another kind of complaint?" ”

Shanna asked, "How are you complaining?" ”

Lin Wu: "Shuguang, why are you doing this to me, let me go to work with an ugly monster." ”

Shanna laughed, hammered Lin Wu twice, and said with some concern: "Another kind." There has been a dispute between pasta and rice before, and Cui Yu and Xue Dan like to eat rice, but not pasta. Starlight and Su Ten like to eat pasta, not rice. When the atmosphere is good, we can tolerate each other. ”

Lin Wu said: "Tolerant people may have a sense of moral superiority, or a sense of loss. The problem is that the food can be artificially customized, not obtained randomly. If it's random, everyone won't have an opinion. Wow, I'm so happy to be able to eat with everyone today. ”
