Chapter 344 84. Countdown to Eleven Days

"We still have five days," Joyce said, looking around.

In the cafeteria area, several tables and chairs formed a circle, and members of the Eternal Life Society sat down to discuss.

"It's already 0 o'clock, so it's four days." Mu Su pouted sadly.

"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 1000. Once winter comes, they won't brave the severe cold to come here. Next, I will publish the information I have collected so far.”

"The Ember Camp is connected to the base, and it is enough for a population of about 1200~1600 to live relatively comfortably without expansion. It is a pity that because there are no fans alive, it is impossible to know the temperature of the camp in winter."

"Before I asked some captives about the winter. After the arrival of the winter, the temperature will drop from 10° to -15° within three days, and stay at this temperature until the first game in the first week of the winter. Snow falls, and a small cold wave comes. The temperature will drop at a rate of 2~8° every day until the snow stops. The small cold wave lasts for two weeks, the temperature is around -30°~-40°, and the daytime is 8 hours at the same time. Then Big cold wave."

The members listened carefully, even though they didn't have much idea about temperature.

"During the big cold wave, there will be less than 5 hours of sunshine left. According to the data of Lindsay Wetland, the average temperature of last year's big cold wave was -56°, and they lost 7% of their population. A large number of people died of freezing and starvation. We are in The cave might be better, but don't be careless."

The horror rate of 7% shocked the members. Among them, Joyce continued: "This temperature will continue until April next year, and then it will slowly start to rise."

"Nearly half a year of winter?" A member couldn't help asking.

Joyce pointed to the top of his head: "The cloud blocks 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 1000 people, and not to starve to death, we need 500 tons of food and sufficient water."

A desperate number.

4 days, 500 tons.On average, 125 tons are brought in every day.

In the silence, Joyce said calmly: "There is nothing to lose. After all, we failed. Just forget about the disadvantages and do your best. Most of us have a physique above 20, and the temperature before the cold wave is still within our tolerance range." .So these four days and the seven days of winter are our final preparation time."

Population and food and heating.

Here are the 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 home and move here. Unless we can prove it's better here."

Lingo thought for a while, and then asked: "What if we borrow people? Cooperate with Hansen to borrow part of the population when the winter is coming to an end."

Joyce shook his head: "Unfortunately, this belongs to the category of word games. The final interpretation rests with AIC."

As I said before, only AIC, the rule maker, is qualified to play word games.

For the population segment, broadcasting was quickly determined.After the vending machines and some electrical appliances in the base are disassembled, many electronic components can be left behind, which can be made into radio stations to spread outward.

Then Lindsay Wetlands and Hale City.The former obviously has a weird attitude towards Musu, so he can use this to try to communicate and cooperate.The latter are extremely difficult to infiltrate after an insurgency, but can be attempted.

Then there's food.Members use the 3000 black points obtained by completing the task, and activate the black points three times to obtain attributes.At that time, members with high strength and high physique will go hunting and fishing by the river to find food for the ant nests.

A small ant colony must have at least 300-400 members of ants.And they must have stored a lot of food for the winter.If found, it can relieve them a lot of burden.

How food is stored is not a problem.It would be good to open up a storage room in the cave passage. The cold and long winter is enough to store the meat until the end of winter-if there is any leftover.

The last is heating.There are relatively many ways to do this, and the only problem is whether the temperature can be kept on a horizontal line.

In some ruins in the outside world, you can always find heating appliances such as electric heaters. Using the electricity of the base can achieve the effect of maintaining temperature.The only question is: how long will the power last?
If the base is powered by hydroelectric power, they will also have no power if the stream freezes.

The second point is charcoal.This charred and sealed resource burns longer than wood.There is an inexhaustible supply of charcoal where the fire is burning.Is it worth it just to walk tens of kilometers?

If it is too late, they can only burn the forest again.Cultivate a second transcendent attribute while getting plenty of charcoal at your fingertips.

The main plan is determined, and the branch is next.

When Joyce and his group were discussing, Mu Su sat not far from them, using the property panel to activate the black spot.

Charm still has nothing to do with him, first 10 melee and 10 acuity.In the last shot, he was lucky to get 10 points of strength, doubling his strength.

He was no longer the powerless man who ran to provoke Chen Yue, but was easily subdued by her and wanted to send him away.

"Wait a moment."

Joyce stopped her and asked Musu, "Is there any limit to your telepathic skills?"

Musu was countered by the hand behind his back and wanted to hit his chest, but Chen Yue angrily let him go and backed away.

With a proud face, Mu Su rubbed his shoulders and replied, "It's only fine if you have touched it."

"Try to see if you can contact the surviving fans of Hale City."

Musu closed his eyes and tried it, then opened his eyes after a while and nodded: "Yes."

"How many of them are left?"

Mu Su said: "One..."

Everyone sighed in their hearts, there were only more than 100 left...

"two……"

Just listen to Mu Su continue to read.

Faintly aware of something, they kept silent and stared at Musu with tangled eyes.

"Three four five six seven eight nine eleven ten 23 fourteen..."

Mu Su counted quickly.

"Then." Joyce patted his palms to divert everyone's attention.In the background sound of Mu Su counting, he said: "Let's act after dawn, first explore the general situation within ten kilometers around. Prioritize the following points: houses, dams, force ants, electrical parts, traces of human life—"

"There are 218 people left!"

Musu shouted loudly.

Joyce nodded: "We need your help. Next, we will design a line. You use your skills according to the line and let them find a way to escape Hale City and go here."

Mu Subi made an ok gesture.

A member suddenly hesitated and asked, "Can we trust you?"

Musu's face was firm, and he stared at him with burning eyes and shouted: "Until death!"

Chen Yue couldn't stand the hot blood and numbness, and touched the goosebumps on her arms.

The discussion is over, members of the busy day.While he was not there, Joyce and Chen Yue came to the control room with several members to start a new discussion, which was related to Musu.

How to make the uncontrollable Musu controllable.

In other words: make him serious.
