Chapter 109: Exchanging information, eventually becoming an oriole! (Third update)
"When Ma Gu encountered the riot of alien beasts, because he was alone, he did not face much pressure, and he said things like being unhappy"
"But if we extrapolate from the current situation, I'm afraid the number of monsters encountered in large shelters will increase exponentially!"
Seeing that the wind and snow had wet a corner of Magu's notebook, Sumo quickly put it back into the storage space.
Hypothesis: The greater the number of people, the greater the disaster.
Now that Sumo himself is only fifteen people, the intensity of the wind and snow can be clearly enhanced.
I'm afraid that the environment in a large shelter with dozens or hundreds of people would be even worse.
He tried to open the world chat panel, and sure enough, in the chat panel, Sumo saw a small number of comments, which further confirmed his inner guess.
"The snow here is really weird. It's getting heavier and heavier. At first, I was happy that I didn't have to worry about the water source. Now it seems that if it stays overnight, I won't have to go out tomorrow!"
"No, the snow here is quite light, and there is a strange thing. I just went out with my brother to collect wood, and when we came back, guess what, I found that the snow near the shelter was not as heavy as the snow outside."
"Fortunately, there is quite a lot of snow here in our shelter. The captain came just now and was about to get a group of people to build an igloo. I hope the snow won't stop, otherwise it will be miserable if we go out to work in this weather and waste all our efforts."
"...."
No one has found that the increase and decrease in the number of people will gradually affect the extent of the disaster, but a small number of people find it strange.
"No, I have to verify this news. It will seriously affect the future development of the shelter!"
If current speculation is true, setting up a shelter for 10,000, 100,000 or even a million people would be completely empty talk.
By then, with so many people gathering together, the disaster they will face may be geometrically magnified.
Even an ordinary magnitude 1 earthquake can escalate to magnitude 9 or even magnitude 10 due to the large number of people!
Opening the private message panel and taking a quick look, Sumo found Shen Ke directly.
This time, Sumo directly chose to make a voice call.
Didi didi~
A rapid ringing sound sounded next to his ears, and before Sumo could marvel at the magic of the game panel, Shen Ke on the opposite side had already answered the phone.
"Hey, Su Shen, what's the matter?" Although Shen Ke deliberately raised her tone to sound cheerful, Su Mo still captured the fatigue in her voice.
"Well, how are your tundra shelters doing today?"
"It's okay! It's just that the snow is a bit heavy, but everyone is very enthusiastic now, and they are all clamoring to boil snow water and drink it to make it warm. These days, everyone has not drank much water, so they are very excited to see the snow coming."
Speaking of this, Sumo could finally feel a hint of Shen Ke's joy, as if a long drought was met by sweet rain. Everyone regarded the snow as God's kindness to mankind.
But it's completely understandable. After all, except for people like Somo who have a steady supply of drinking water every day, water is extremely scarce for other people even in large shelters.
At this time, everyone suddenly becomes rich, and naturally everyone will be very happy and ignore the fatal issue of the degree of disaster.
"Well... I have a little guess, you can go and verify it. According to my judgment, the degree of wind and snow, or the degree of this "disaster", will most likely change with the number of people or factors related to the number of people. This The greater the variable, the greater the wind and snow, and vice versa..."
After hearing Sumo's words, Shen Ke was silent for a moment.
Immediately, Sumo could only hear the thick sound of his feet tapping on the snow through the microphone.
About half a minute later, when the voice came from the other end of the phone, it had turned into a rich male voice:
"Hello Sumo, I was responsible for negotiating the deal with you last time. You should still remember me~"
This voice was no stranger to Somo. It was the man who came with the recorder when Shen Ke couldn't make up his mind last time.
Without being secretive, Sumo just discovered that someone had entered the shelter and discovered that the wind and snow were getting stronger, and he flexibly turned it into a conclusion based on information from informants and analysis with acquaintances.
Nine truths and one falsehood, it sounds like there won’t be any loopholes!
After a conversation, the man on the other end of the phone hurriedly left to verify the authenticity of the information. Shen Ke picked up the phone again and started chatting about family matters.
Nothing happened, and Sumo was happy to have someone to talk to.
The two of them talked about the snowy scenery in the north and the south, the differences in winter habits between the north and the south, and then from hot pot to hot pot. When Somo was so hungry, a few more dots finally appeared at the end of the horizon.
"Wait a minute, Shen Ke, if your verification of the information passes, just remember to send me a message. I have something going on here."
"Ah? Well, okay!"
Sumo quickly hung up the phone, moved around a bit, and his body was a little stiff from lying down for a long time. Somo picked up the telescope and took a look.
This time, the creature Soma that appeared was not unfamiliar at all.
Exactly...
Kobold!
And it is a kobold team with a total of eighteen people!
In this team, the number of warlock kobolds alone reached eight. When facing the enemy head-on, even Soma would be difficult to deal with without the help of a crossbow.
Not to mention the fourteen ill-equipped bastards currently in the underground shelter.
"It's really an emotional drama of the year. First there were six people, then eight people, and now it's directly turned into eighteen kobolds following them."
"In total, my underground shelter has now turned into a glowing underground treasure? All of them have been attracted?"
Under the mask, Somo's face was cold, and his eyes revealed an unconcealable murderous intent.
For humans, Somo still has some emotions, but for beasts like kobolds, as long as he encounters them, he will kill them without mercy!
Compared to lions, in Somo's mind, kobolds are much more dangerous.
It’s not because they learned the deadly weapon of gunpowder, nor is it because they brought a huge amount of supplies with them when they came over, and even built a magnificent castle from scratch within a few days!
But... IQ!
Kobolds are much smarter than lions, whether in defense or offense, or in various small details.
"Now that you're here, there's no need to leave! Just leave them all to me!"
Taking out the crossbow, Somo held the handle tightly with his hand in combat uniform and replaced the ordinary crossbow arrows in the crossbow.
There was a flash of light.
Five crudely shaped, comically-looking picric acid explosive crossbow bolts appeared in Somo's hands.
One by one, Sumo carefully pressed them into the magazine.
"Oreo, does the danger come from these kobolds?" Sumo asked calmly as he pressed the self-test button and listened to the sound of the motor working.
The next second, Oreo nodded first, then shook his head.
Facing the distance, Oreo raised his head and lay down at the same time, signaling Somo to continue waiting.
"Huh? Is there anyone else?"
"The eighteen kobolds are not the ultimate source of danger. This drama is really getting more and more exciting!"
Under the mask, Sumo almost laughed at the anger of these people.
I originally thought it was just a group of people seeking death, but I didn't expect it to get worse. Even without thinking, Sumo could guess the love and hatred involved.
The path that had not been covered by the wind and snow was once again trampled along by kobolds.
The dense footprints have become a guiding light.
The kobold team hardly hesitated. When they passed the hillock of the deep-sea refuge, they instantly split into two teams and moved along both sides.
All this was clearly seen by Somo, who was lying on a high slope with only one eye exposed.
"What a poor performance. If I were watching it in a shelter with the TV on, I would have a different feeling."
Three groups of people have passed by, obviously with different purposes.
Everyone in the group thinks they are the last oriole, but unfortunately...
When two people appeared again at the end of his sight, Sumo knew...
This time he is the only oriole!
Oreo, who was still lying on the ground, started barking uncontrollably.
In the snowy world, the goal is obvious, and it is obvious that the last two people are the biggest threat!
Compared with the previous fourteen people and eighteen kobolds, the equipment of these two people can no longer be described as sophisticated!
Waiting until the two of them were close to within 300 meters, in the wind and snow, Sumo saw their faces clearly.
The person walking on the left was wearing a luxurious combat uniform obtained from someone who knew where. He stared at the brand new and shiny military boots. He turned around and saw polar thermal pants that looked very warm leaking out from under the combat uniform.
The face that turned around was no stranger to Soma, and he had been thinking about Maeda Kento for a long time!
The landmark of the Deep Sea Refuge and the footprints on the ground did not surprise Maeda Taketo. Instead, he smiled and said something to the big man next to him.
The big man on the right also cooperated very well. With a move towards the void, two dark things appeared in his hands.
"They actually have guns... No wonder these two pose the greatest threat to Oreo!"
Under the telescope, Sumo couldn't see clearly what kind of gun it was, but he could vaguely distinguish two pistols from their appearance.
The two skillfully took off the magazine and loaded it again. Maeda Kento even picked up the pistol and pretended to aim in the distance.
This action caused a burst of laughter from the big man next to him.
In such a "harmonious" atmosphere, the two of them checked their equipment again and quickly rushed up.
"It looks like this show that has been in the works for a long time is finally about to begin!"
On the mountain, Somo was almost covered with snow. After watching the two figures walking away, he slowly stood up.
With a slight shake, flakes of snow fell off, revealing the all-terrain optical combat suit underneath.
At a certain angle, coupled with the falling snowflakes in the sky, Somo's figure becomes even more mysterious.
After pressing the heating switch on his waist and regaining consciousness in every part of his body, Somo slid down the hill in a half-crouch.
Oreo behind him also followed suit, lying on the slope and slowly sliding down.
One person and one dog followed the direction Maeda Kento left and slowly touched it.
