Chapter 273: Hunting
After taking a bath and eating, the Shadows hurriedly evacuated while there was still 20 light points, after all, no one wanted to deal with the night demons. The doomsday crowd chose to eat first and then bathe, and even then it was hot enough. The air brought by the sea breeze and river breeze is also extremely hot.
Luckily, Peanut returned to the base safely, and it is estimated that Daredevil was too lazy to clean up a whiteboard. Back at the base, Peanut had only one word: "Hot." ”
In the past 24 hours, Peanut lived in a small villa, blowing air conditioning, eating roasted whole beef, watching stereoscopic TV, playing realistic games, and living a boundless life. After describing it, Peanut expressed his feelings: "It's so hot, it's better to die." This sentence is naturally a joke, death will drop points, die again, the TV may be gone, and if you die again, the villa may also be confiscated.
At present, no one knows how Dawn's points are calculated, Lin Wu who thinks he is a high scorer has never died, and Maya can't collect complete data no matter how smart she is. However, judging from Peanut's description, his points are not low.
The weather was too hot, the whole person was soft, and at about eleven o'clock in the evening, it was finally cooler, and everyone went back to the dormitory to rest. Lin Wu didn't know how many hours he had been asleep, he woke up in a dream and found himself sweating. So I struggled to get out, blew a cool breeze, climbed to the top floor, and lay motionless on the container.
After a while, everyone came up to lie in the nest one after another, obviously hot enough. Cotton didn't know where to find the cardboard, so she made a homemade fan. But after a while, everyone can only go back to the dormitory, lack of NPC cleanup, even if the doomsday people pay attention to hygiene, it is inevitable to breed mosquitoes, let alone by the river.
In the midst of being bitten to death and heat death, everyone chooses to die of heat. Lin Wu slept in a daze for a while, half of his body went out of the dormitory to enjoy the natural wind, and then gave Xiao Wei an order. Xiao Crooked jumped sideways left and right on Lin Wu's head, bringing a little wind on the one hand, and helping Lin Wu drive away mosquitoes on the other.
After tossing all night, it was about four o'clock in the morning that everyone finally fell asleep. At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, everyone who was woken up by the heat again dragged their tired bodies out of the dormitory.
Seeing that everyone was in such a state, Maya said, "Let's go to the first floor to rest." ”
So the doomsday crowd each brought a blanket and pillow and spread it on the floor in the shade on the first floor. Maya was in good spirits, and when she saw that the public channel was quiet, she guessed that the Shadow didn't have a good time last night. She walked to the command post and saw that today's maximum temperature exceeded 42 degrees, and it was obviously another difficult day. Not to mention work in this kind of weather, it is uncomfortable to stay at home.
Maya didn't expect that Lin Wu, who had always been lazy, would take the initiative to ask Ying to go hunting, and Maya drove him to the lumberyard. After coming back, Peanut was unwilling to go out on his own whiteboard and decided to go out to practice on a hot day. The main reason is naturally that the base tin box is getting hotter and hotter. So Maya asked Cotton to make lunch, and everyone took it to the sewer to cool off, and did some looting work by the way.
When you feel hot, you go into the sewer, and if you can't stand the smell of the sewer, you get out and scavenge.
Speaking of Lin Wu, after he arrived at the logging site, he immediately went to the small waterfall with a laboratory nearby, and the person drilled into the water, and he didn't want to be comfortable. Get out of the pond and pack up the timber to prepare for the night. There were no outsiders, and he was shirtless. There is a house by the waterfall, and there is a rocking chair outside the house, blowing the cool breeze brought by the woods, and life is boundless.
Why don't you call everyone? If one person is lazy, you can't stop the whole machine. Besides, Lin Wu really came to hunt, so he placed three traps along the waterway formed by the waterfall. The beast definitely wants to drink water in such a hot weather.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, a trap was triggered, and the half-asleep Lin Wu gave an order, and the good dog Xiaowei set off immediately. Lin Wu waited for more than ten minutes and didn't see Xiao Wei come back, walked over to take a look, it turned out that the prey was a big wild boar, it had bled to death, Xiao Wei bit its leg and dragged it in the direction of the waterfall, because of the terrain, the wild boar was stuck and could not be dragged.
"Idiot." Lin Wu asked Xiao Wei to walk away, cut the wild boar on the spot, and got a wild boar skin and ten kilograms of meat. Look, the results of my hunting are there. What if there are no wild boars? Isn't there still a little crooked? No, no, of course, it's not about eating crooked, but you can frame crooked for eating your prey.
Not long after lying down, the dazzling trap was touched again, and Lin Wu was very impatient to send out a little crooked. After being scolded for being a fool, Xiao Wei's IQ skyrocketed, and he took back half a rabbit. The trap was too powerful, and with a small crooked drag, it turned out to be half a one. After receiving 0.2 kg of rabbit meat, Lin Wu hesitated for a long time, and finally walked to the trap, harvested another 0.2, and re-set the trap by the way.
After a while, another annoying prey was tricked, and the scolding Lin Wu came over with a gun, this time the prey was a deer. 5 kg of meat to hand. After returning home, Lin Wu began to stew soup, and the small pot was brought from the base, which was intended to be used to boil water to make tea.
After eating and drinking, resting for more than an hour, and cutting 0.3 kilograms of rabbit meat, Lin Wu called Maya, and he and Xiao Wei went down the mountain slowly. Why give up on the idea of an overnight stay? Not to mention the evening, when the sun is slanting in the west, the shade of the trees is blocked, and the temperature drops, the mosquito army is dispatched. And it's all flower mosquitoes, the kind of mosquitoes that can make you uncomfortable for two days with a bite.
Maya was overjoyed to see so many prey, and called the Shadowmen to go to the Doomsday Fortress to drink broth and bathe and eat as usual. Everyone seems to have slowly adapted to the heat, and the focus is no longer on the temperature. There was even a mahjong night.
……
The scorching heat lasted until the end of the month, and the more than 20 days were very painful for players, and the work efficiency was greatly reduced. Fortunately, because of the excellent performance of Lin Wu, the two farmlands of the sawmill, and the fish caught from the cofferdam, Shadow has always maintained a relatively high standard of living.
Dawn reminds all hardcore players during this period that at the beginning of winter, outdoor farmland cannot harvest crops, indoor hydroponic crops harvest is halved, and outdoor beasts are greatly reduced, so I hope all players will store food as soon as possible to cope with the worst winter.
Dawn only shouts slogans, the question is how to save? Rice and wheat can also be infested if stored for a long time. At Starlight's suggestion, Shadow begins making pickles and dried meat, and prepares to dig a cellar in the Doom Fortress for long-term food preservation. However, there is not much left over from the daily ration, and there are not many vegetables and meat that can be pickled and dried.
It was finally decided to move into the Doomsday Bastion before the winter and open four hydroponic rooms.
On the other hand, after 20 days of lazy work, the building materials reserve is about to exceed 250.
In addition to the good news, there is also bad news, the threat value of the Shadow Base has reached 60% of the six stars, and it is expected to break through the seven stars in the early part of next month. After experiencing a four-star siege, the Doomsday Base is currently at a two-star low threat. Lin Wu also complained about this.
White Rabbit explained how the siege system is calculated, with a random draw taking place at 8 a.m. every day. Draw the siege and then randomly draw time. The probability of a one-star siege occurring is 1 in 10,000. A two-star siege is one in a thousand. Three-star siege is one percent. Five-percent for a four-star siege. Ten percent for a five-star siege. The six-star siege is 15 percent, leaving 24 hours of safe time for players to prepare. The seven-star siege is 20 percent, and the 48-hour safe time is 48 hours. The highest is a ten-star siege, with an incidence of 35% per day.
Why hasn't 15% of the Shadow Six been triggered for half a month? That's luck, and theoretically, even if the ten-star threat is threatening, it may never trigger.
The little white rabbit leaked a little trick here: the higher the difficulty of the siege, the higher the contribution to defending the city, and the corresponding more points can be obtained. In the stone's view, the so-called heavenly machine is a placebo. Because knowing the heavenly machine and not knowing the heavenly machine, there is no way to change the change of points.
In order to deal with emergencies, the Doomsday Crowd has reduced its range of activities to ensure that they can support the Shadows as soon as possible in the event of a siege. Shadow also sends various supplies to the Doomsday Fortress to avoid being destroyed by zombies during the siege.
In addition to the growing threat it faces, Shadow's biggest problem is fuel. Although there are two oil producers, Xuedan and Dashuang, the fuel oil of the two bases is not rich, and they barely maintain the standard of 10 barrels of oil. One of the reasons for this was that it was so hot for a few days that some people even got heatstroke and were forced to use car air conditioners. Of course, the most important reason is to take a bath, and Shadow drives two cars a day to Bastion Doom to take a bath. As for Lin Wu's trivial matter of secretly lighting a firestorm with an incendiary bomb, it doesn't matter at all.
It was the end of the second month of summer, and Dawn was broadcasting again. First of all, I would like to congratulate you all on the warmth of summer and the refreshment of typhoon next month. It's not as violent as this month.
When provoking hardcore players across the server to give the middle finger to the sky, Dawn illustrates the end-of-season event.
The game starts on the first day of autumn, so at the end of the summer season there will be a hardcore anniversary event with great prizes. When Shuguang read a few prizes, everyone was stunned. Prizes include: strategic bombers, supersonic fighters, battleships, nuclear-powered submarines and much more.
Everyone, including Dawn, believes that everyone's prize is and so on.
The event takes place during the last seven days of the summer.
The celebration was kept secret for the time being, but Dawn gave each base a guide to the operation of the coal-fired steam train in the early 20th century. The operation is very simple, coaling, forward, stopping, and backward, including the relationship between speed and coal consumption.
This kind of thing is naturally handed over to the two deputy commanders to study, and in this hot and dead weather, Shi didn't bother to hold a meeting, and chatted with Lin Wu privately: "Is there less and less prey recently?" ”
Lin Wu replied: "There is a tendency to decrease. Maya said that the forest was not as good as the savannah. In addition, hunting in one place for a long time can make the animals wary. ”
Stone: "Then change places." ”
Lin Wu: "There is no waterfall in another place." ”
Stone: "Take me tomorrow, I'm going to see for myself if that's the case." ”
Lin Wu: "You can plant your fields well." ”
Stone: "Have you noticed anything going on in the Doomsday Fortress lately?" ”
Lin Wu asked, "When did I become a secret agent?" ”
Stone: "What about you?" ”
Lin Wu: "I go out early and return late, and go back to the base to eat, bathe, and wash clothes, and it will be nine o'clock in the evening." If you don't say it, forget it, I find that I have barely interacted with everyone this month. What's up? ”
Stone: "It's fine. Get more meat. Including seafood, the meat supply is now only 0.4 kg per person per day. ”
"Really?" Lin Wu asked in surprise.
The stone immediately vomited blood: "Are you opening a small stove by yourself?" ”
Lin Wu was stunned: "I didn't bring lunch, I have to eat something." ”
Stone: "Next time I go out, bring a love bento with cotton." ”
Lin Wu sighed: "It's a pumpkin every day." ”
Stone explains: "Pumpkins are the most productive and cost-effective. ”
Lin Wu: "Oh. ”
Stone asked, "How are peanuts doing?" ”
Lin Wu: "It is said that the leveling is very diligent, the main wisdom is five stars, and the deputy Min is already seven stars." When the star is low, it also rises relatively quickly. I'm so diligent, I've only been promoted to one star this month. "Wisdom reads!
Stone: "I'm asking...... Ask him how he feels. ”
Lin Wu said: "Don't worry, the whiteboard is also a good thing." When the time comes, you can learn it directly if you have the right skill book. Besides, there are still a lot of books on the nightmare's side, and Shanna and I have been waiting for her to die. I don't know what's going on lately, she hasn't died for a long time. ”
"So?" The stone thought for a moment: "Okay, come on." ”
"Bye boss."
Lin Wu ended the call and looked at the little crooked in front of him: "Why does the stone care about the mood of peanuts?" Does he like him? In order to avoid this love, Peanut took the initiative to ask for a share of the Doomsday Fortress? Don't jump, sit down, I'm telling the storyteller. A middle-aged boss like a stone is as guarded as jade, can you believe it? ”
Lin Wu continued: "For the sake of everyone's interests, are we going to change places to squat and guard the prey? Or go in search of prey with more aggressive action? You disagree? You think that continuing to guard the trap is the right way to go. However, the meat has been getting less and less recently, and it is estimated that it will not be enough for me to eat in another ten days and half a month...... It makes sense, there is wine today and drunk today, and there is no meat in the Ming Dynasty to move the land. ”
Lin Wu lay down and lay down in the water, the cold feeling made him feel refreshed all over.
……
You can live without meat, and slowly reducing the supply of meat is not necessarily a bad thing in some ways.
That night, Fortress of Doom and Shadow, who hadn't met for a long time, held a headset meeting. Meeting topic: 250 building materials have been gathered, and we need to solicit everyone's opinions to expand the base.
The Doom Fortress currently has eighteen small slots and two large slots, with the large slots being Sentry and Airdrop. There are 18 small grids, and at present, an infirmary, a double dormitory, a kitchen, a production room, a bathroom, a gym, a screening room, a library, and 9 small grids have been built. Considering that the sawmill was going to move into the Doom Fortress, two more small slots were left, leaving seven small slots.
There are many options for base expansion, the first option is to directly add two large indoor or outdoor compartments.
The second option is to add 4 indoor or outdoor compartments.
The third option is to sacrifice one large grid and two small squares for a super large grid equivalent to four large grids.
The fourth option is to sacrifice five small slots for a super large slot equivalent to four large slots.
Although there are not many honors, everyone disagrees with the dismantling of the airdrop. There are enough small squares, so there are only two options, either two large outdoor grids, or sacrifice 5 small grids for a super large grid.
Of course, the big base must be super large, otherwise how to match the identity? Lin Wu's views resonated with everyone. Lin Wu added: The super big lattice must be taken to farm, the bigger the better, the tired ones are stones, and we are the ones who eat. So in the cheers of the crowd, it was decided to expand into a super large grid.
