Chapter 187 Cold Wave
This group of people felt something was wrong after standing outside the city for only a dozen seconds. No wonder the strongest trio decided to return to the city after only two minutes.
The person who hurried back through the protective shield rubbed his face, "Damn! This is not an environment suitable for human beings to stay in."
"I won't go out. I feel uncomfortable staying here for even a few seconds."
After seeing people giving up on leaving the city one after another, the other teams hesitated.
At this time, someone finally mentioned this matter in the dialogue channel, and it was from Qiuyu City.
[Xu Zheng] (Channel from the same province): Everyone, please don't go out. Today's weather is not only cold, but there is also an evil wind that can freeze people into human statues. One of our teammates was blown by the wind and is now at the pharmacy to see if he can be saved.
[Ruan Fanyao] (Channel from the same province): We have a few lucky ones here. They were frozen at the city gate and were quickly pulled back. If they had been in the wild, it would have been hard to say.
Ruan Fanyao's teammate didn't know whether to say that he was lucky or unlucky. As they were still hesitating after leaving the city, they felt a biting cold wind blowing.
They didn't feel anything at the time, but when a gust of wind passed by, those who had not yet left the protective shield saw several people frozen there. Fortunately, Ruan Fanyao reacted quickly and dragged the people back immediately.
Lu Jiu saw the words on the conversation channel and was glad that he didn't go out.
[Xu Zheng] (Same province channel): How do you guys save them? What medicine can they take? Our NPC said there is no medicine.
[Ruan Fanyao] (Channel from the same province): Because it was frozen, it was necessary to warm itself by the fire. After its mouth could be opened again, it was given oral medication to thaw the frostbite.
Their city-state is okay, the pharmacy NPC has high-level talents and can make more kinds of potions than low-level ones, and the effects are better.
The last two people traded via email.
Lu Jiu and the other three had already returned to the residential area. After seeing the conversation channel, they said they were lucky they hadn't gone out.
Shen Jufeng read the conversation and said, "That wind can be called a cold current. It can freeze people in an instant, but it won't kill them immediately, and it's not in a fixed location."
Lu Jiu: "Some people were frozen outside, and some were frozen at the city gate. It seems that this wind is running around outside, just like a spawning wild monster."
You definitely can't go out in this situation. The low temperature makes your movements less flexible than before. If you get frozen again, you may be able to be rescued if you have a good relationship with your teammates.
If the relationship is average, or even just temporary teammates, then I really don’t know what I will face if I am frozen in the wild.
Zhuang Yun listened to his two teammates' understanding without any special feelings. "Anyway, I won't leave the city until the temperature returns to normal."
Lu Jiu glanced at him and said, "Okay, since the most diligent members of our team don't want to go out, let's just treat it as a vacation. Winter doesn't last long anyway."
In the past, Zhuang Yun did not hesitate even when they wanted to go out in early winter, but this time he decided not to go out.
Shen Jufeng adjusted his sitting position, “I also think it’s best not to go out, and although there is a protective shield to adjust the temperature, if the temperature drops further, then it may be difficult to leave the house.”
Lu Jiu had learned a little about the nature of the gaming world this winter. "It's true. The temperature might even drop. It happened before, didn't it?"
I thought it was the coldest, but the system refreshed it to a lower temperature.
Lu Jiu: "I'll ask the tailor shop manager soon to see if they can make some clothes with better warmth properties so I can at least go out."
It's really boring to stay at home.
Afterwards, all the residents of Xuantian City received an email, which roughly told professional residents not to go out, as there was a cold wave outside the city that might appear from an unknown location, which was very dangerous. Ordinary residents were advised to stay at home and not go far from home.
However, the patrolling NPCs seemed unaffected by the climate, symbolically wearing winter clothes, and it was fine for them to go out of town for a walk and come back.
She now realized that she had been worrying too much.
So everyone stayed at home. If they really wanted to go out, they would just walk around downstairs. After fifteen minutes, the NPC staying at the hotel would remind them to go back.
*
Other city-states learned from the dialogue channel that it was very dangerous outside and chose not to go out. The city-states had protective shields with temperature control functions, which was fine, but the residents of those second-level city-states were too cold to go out.
The temperature inside and outside the city is different, and I don’t know whether a cold wave will appear in the city, so I chose not to go out.
However, in this situation, many residents still showed negative symptoms of typhoid fever, which made the mayors of these city-states very worried.
Qiuyu City is a third-level city-state. After the cold wave appeared, the city lord had adjusted the temperature of the protective shield to the highest, but unexpectedly, people started to get sick in the city the next day.
It started with children, but later more and more adults began to become ill.
Ruan Fanyao was shocked to learn that several members of his team were sick.
She is already an official resident of this city-state, living in the residential area, and is talking about this with her friends.
Ruan Fanyao: Can professional gamers also be affected by this negative state? I thought only ordinary people were affected.
The other side quickly replied: [But he was indeed sick. Fortunately, he recovered quickly after taking the medicine. However, there are too many people. The city lord said that at this rate, there may not be enough medicine.]
[Ruan Fanyao: How could it be insufficient? We already have a lot of potions.]
[The city lord hadn't expected professional players to get sick, and some recovered and then got infected again, forcing them to take medicine. This consumption wasn't enough.]
Ruan Fanyao finally understood why there were not enough supplies. There were many sick people, and they would be infected with negative conditions again.
[Ruan Fanyao: What should the City Lord do now? He has to save people.]
The city lord's intention is to contact city-states with sufficient supplies to see if they can distribute them. He also wants to open another branch, and having more pharmacies would also help alleviate some of the pressure.
Ruan Fanyao felt that this was the only way to deal with the situation now. There was already a great demand for medicines, so there was nothing wrong with opening more branches. After getting through this crisis, the pharmacies would still be able to use them in the future.
Fortunately, she had several bottles of peach energy drink that could remove any negative state. Unfortunately, the number of bottles was not enough, otherwise she could sell them to the city lord.
Looking at the conversation channel again, I found that many people were asking for medicine on it. The demand for medicine is greater than ever before.
She thought of the people who had been frozen before. She had not been out recently and did not know what happened to them.
[Ruan Fanyao: By the way, are those people who were frozen at the city gate okay now?]
[It's okay, they're fine now. It's just that they forgot they were frozen and just felt like they were sleeping.]
It's good that everything is fine, but with this cold wave, they can't go out. Who knows when this horrible weather will return to normal.
At this time, the mayor of the city-state was having a terrible headache. Among the more than 4,000 residents in the city, more than 1,000 were infected with the negative state of typhoid fever, and the number continued to increase.
Among them, hundreds of people were cured at the beginning with the medicine they prepared, but were infected again within two days.
Thinking that his pharmacy could not bear it, he began to speak to the provincial channel again. This time he went to Xuantian City in Yangshan City.
