"We still have five days." Joyce said, looking around.
In the cafeteria area, several tables and chairs were arranged in a circle, and members of the Eternal Life Society were seated to discuss.
"It's already 0 o'clock, so it's four days." Mu Su's head was filled with sadness.
"Yes." Joyce nodded and continued without dwelling on the topic: "Before the severe winter, we need to absorb the surviving humans to bring the population of the gathering point to 1,000. Once winter comes, they will not brave the severe cold to come here.
Next, I will publish the information I have collected so far.”
"The Yuhuo Camp is connected to the base, and can accommodate a population of about 1,200 to 1,600 people living relatively comfortably without expansion. Unfortunately, because there are no survivors alive, we cannot know the temperature of the camp in the cold winter."
"I asked some prisoners about winter before. After winter arrives, the temperature will drop from 10° to about -15° within three days, and will linger at this temperature until the first battle in the first week of winter.
Under the snow, a slight cold wave arrives. The temperature will drop at a rate of 2~8°C every day until the snow stops. The slight cold wave lasts for two weeks, with the temperature around -30°~-40°, and the daytime lasts for 8 hours. Then
Big cold wave.”
The members listened attentively, even though they didn't have much idea about temperature.
"There will be less than 5 hours of sunshine left during the big cold wave. Data from Lindsay Wetland is that the average temperature of last year's big cold wave was -56°, and they lost 7% of their population. A large number of people froze to death and starved to death. We are in
The cave might be better, but you can’t be careless.”
The terrifying ratio of 7% frightened the members, and Joyce continued: "This temperature will last until April next year, and then it will slowly start to rise again."
"Nearly half a year of winter?" one member couldn't help but ask.
Joyce pointed to the top of his head: "The clouds block most of the solar radiation, and every winter is equivalent to the Little Ice Age."
He continued: "To maintain the most basic food supply for 1,000 people without starving to death, we need 500 tons of food and sufficient water."
A desperate number.
4 days, 500 tons. An average of 125 tons per day.
In the silence, Joyce said calmly: "There is nothing to lose. After all, we failed. Just forget about the disadvantages and do our best. Most of us have a physical constitution above 20, and the temperature before the arrival of the slight cold wave is still within our tolerance.
.So these four days and the seven days of winter are our final preparation time."
Population and food and heating.
Here are three problems they face.
"Can't we keep those prisoners?" Ringo asked.
"Hansen won't agree. And there's no reason for them to abandon their homes and move here. Unless we can prove it's better here."
Ringo thought for a moment and then asked: "What if we borrow people? Cooperate with Hansen and borrow part of the population when the winter is about to end."
Joyce shook his head: "Unfortunately, this belongs to the category of word games. The final right of interpretation belongs to AIC."
As mentioned before, only AIC, the rule maker, is qualified to play word games.
Broadcasting was quickly determined for the population segment. After dismantling the vending machines and some electrical appliances in the base, a lot of electronic components can be left behind, which can be made into radio stations for broadcasting to the outside world.
Then there are Lindsay Wetland and Hale City. The former obviously has a weird attitude towards Musu, and they can use this to try to communicate and cooperate. The latter is extremely difficult to infiltrate after the rebellion, but you can still try.
Then there is food. The members will use the 3000 black points obtained from completing the task and activate the black points three times to obtain attributes. At that time, the food will be provided by members with high strength and physique to hunt and fish by the river to find ant nests.
A small ant nest has at least 300 to 400 ant members. They must have stored a lot of food in preparation for the winter. If found, it can reduce their burden a lot.
How to store the food is not a problem. Just open a storage room in the cave passage. The cold and long winter is enough to store the meat until the end of the winter - if there is any left by then.
The last thing is heating. There are relatively many ways to do this. The only question is whether the temperature can be kept on the horizontal line.
Heating appliances such as electric heaters can always be found in some ruins in the outside world. The power of the base can be used to maintain the temperature. The only question is: how long can the power last?
If the base's power supply is hydroelectric power, they will have no power available if the stream freezes.
The second point is charcoal. This resource that is sealed by charring can burn longer than wood. There is inexhaustible charcoal in the fire area. Is it worth just walking dozens of kilometers?
If it's too late, they can only burn the forest again to develop a second extraordinary attribute and obtain a large amount of charcoal within easy reach.
The main plan is determined, and the next step is the branches.
While Joyce and his group were discussing, Mu Su sat not far from them and used the attribute panel to activate the black spots.
Charm still failed him, first he got 10 points of melee and 10 points of sensitivity. In the last shot, he was lucky enough to get 10 points of strength, doubling his strength.
He was no longer the helpless man who ran to provoke Chen Yue, but she easily subdued him and wanted to send him away.
"Wait a moment."
Joyce stopped her and asked Mu Su: "Is there any limit to your telepathy skills?"
Mu Su's hand behind his back was countered and he tried to hit his chest. Chen Yue let go of him angrily and retreated to avoid it.
Mu Su, who looked proud, rubbed his shoulders and replied: "You can only do it after you have been in contact with it."
"Try to see if you can contact the surviving believers in Hale City."
Mu Su closed his eyes and tried it. After a while, he opened his eyes and nodded: "Okay."
"How many of them are left?"
Mu Su said: "One..."
Everyone sighed in their hearts, there were only more than a hundred left...
"two……"
Just listen to Mu Su continue to read.
Faintly aware of something, they remained silent and stared at Mu Su with tangled eyes.
"Three four five six seven eight nine eleven eleven twenty thirty four..."
Mu Su quickly started counting.
"So." Joyce clapped his hands lightly, diverting everyone's attention. With Mu Su counting in the background, he said: "Act after dawn, first explore the general situation within ten kilometers around you. Prioritize the following points: houses,
Dams, ants, electrical parts, traces of human life——"
"There are 218 people left!"
Mu Su shouted loudly.
Joyce nodded: "We need your help. Next we will design a line, and you will use your skills according to the line to let them find a way to escape Hale City and go here."
Musu made an OK gesture.
One member suddenly asked hesitantly: "Can we trust you?"
Mu Su looked at him with stern cheeks and shouted: "Until death!"
Chen Yue couldn't bear the feeling of hot blood and numbness, so she touched the goosebumps on her arms.
The discussion was over and all the members had a busy day. While he was not around, Joyce, Chen Yue and several members came to the control room to start a new discussion related to Mu Su.
