Chapter 92 Refrigerator
As dawn broke, the night-walking monster shrank back into the darkness.
With a clang, as if it were some kind of signal, someone wearily threw down their weapon and sat on the ground.
Jiang Baiyue absorbed an energy crystal to replenish her source energy, then returned to the car, had the mercenaries take turns guarding it, and took a sleeping pill.
Sleeping pills take effect in 30 minutes; one pill can induce deep sleep and reduce stress levels by 30 points.
After several days of all-night battles, Jiang Baiyue deeply appreciated the benefits of sleeping pills; she really couldn't do without them.
Prolonged lack of sleep will accelerate the increase in stress and hunger levels, while slowing down the recovery rate of stamina.
Thirty minutes later, Jiang Baiyue took another sleeping pill. After taking four sleeping pills, she felt the throbbing pain in her head disappear. Now she was hungry again, with her hunger level reaching 75.
Yin Kela walked to within 3 meters of the armored car and raised her hand to indicate that she meant no harm: "Sister, there's something I want to discuss with you, is that alright?"
Two mercenaries silently pointed their guns at SilverKla.
Jiang Baiyue said she would add him as a friend to discuss the details, and did not want to talk face-to-face.
Two more people suddenly mutated last night, and the cause is still unknown. She is worried about letting these people get close to her.
"Yinkla: Sisters, are you selling the car? We want to find a nearby base to settle down."
"Lying flat, salted fish: Not for sale."
"Silver Carat: Can we pay you to go with us to the White Moon Base?"
"Lying Down Like a Salted Fish: Map Screenshot, Screenshot.jpg"
Jiang Baiyue is quite busy right now, exploring maps, scavenging supplies, and searching for space stations. She doesn't want to be someone's bodyguard, and the compensation that Silvercla can offer is limited.
SilverKlax was naturally very disappointed.
Yin Kela: "It's obvious they wouldn't agree. They're just a base commander; they wouldn't even look at our meager supplies."
Jin Kela: "Having a map is better than being a headless fly. I have an extra auxiliary item, you can send it to him."
Silver gave an OK sign with her fingers.
Yu Huo: "Jin Ke La, bring out the workbench. I'll get some more torches. I'll see if I can get some more medicine."
The base leader was killed, and several factions within the base fought for power, forcing them to flee to other bases.
Every day, I have to use my rest time to collect information and prepare necessary supplies and medicines for future use.
Jiang Baiyue was about to leave when she realized that she could also exchange map screenshots with other players here, so she wouldn't have to wander around aimlessly.
Yinkel readily sent 5 screenshots. The screenshots were large enough to clearly show every main road, alley, and building, but there were no building or road markings.
Comparing the map of Space Station 1, Jiang Baiyue carefully searched through the five screenshots. After an hour of comparison, she finally found a similar shape to the space station in one of the screenshots.
After comparing the overlapping positions of several screenshots and determining the route, Jiang Baiyue had the mercenaries get into the vehicle and head straight for the space station.
They rammed into any zombies they encountered along the way. The bulletproof car was very sturdy, but the zombies weren't killed instantly.
Jiang Baiyue opened the window and looked outside, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of something wriggling in the shadow of the cardboard box.
The car was going very fast, and she didn't see it clearly, or she thought it was just her imagination.
Opening the chat area, Jiang Baiyue found that many people were exchanging messages even during the day. By occasionally browsing the chat area during the day, she had gained a lot of useful information.
"Eating smaller, more frequent meals to lose weight: It's been over 10 days now, is everything alright? I'm on tenterhooks every day."
"Round and chubby: It seems like the last rainstorm was just a normal accident."
"Not going to work: I feel like sleeping outdoors at night has become more dangerous. My friend said that a couple of days ago, he spent a night in the wild to fight a boss monster, and the night monster started attacking players on its own."
"Under the Lemon Tree: ?? Really?"
Most people rarely spend the night at the base, so only a small number of them know what changes occur outside at night.
These players, busy trying to survive, rarely speak in the chat area.
So the statement "I won't go to work" shocked many people, and then a few more people came forward to affirm the statement.
"Vast land, scarce resources: How terrifying. We have to be back at base before nightfall every time we go out. But that means we won't be able to find any supplies nearby. And our base doesn't allow us to farm."
"The sea cannot be measured by a bushel: Our base can. Perhaps your base commander wants to centrally manage the stockpiling of supplies."
"Love is a light: stockpiling food is the hardest thing. If you stockpile a lot, it will gradually expire after a few days, and you have to eat it quickly or sell it. Sometimes you have to sell it at a low price."
"Don't eat vegetables: Hahaha, we can make cured meat, with a shelf life of 15 days. If you're interested, you can send me a private message to place an order. The price is reasonable."
"Kaleidoscope: How is it made? Does it require culinary skills?"
fofo: Definitely. What materials are needed?
"In spring: meat, salt, then make a drying rack to air dry, and finally smoke it."
"30 years of single life and lightning-fast typing: What a great guy! Was this made from a meat drying rack workbench?"
"Springtime Girl: A workbench looks better. Unless you have carpentry skills, a homemade workbench won't look as good as one."
"The sea is immeasurable; meat is hard to come by either. We live in an urban area, and apart from occasionally catching a few chickens, we rarely see sheep, and pigs are even rarer."
"Expert: I guess I can only trade with players whose bases are in the wild. I'm afraid the price will go up again. Right now, everyone is hoarding supplies, and some prices are ridiculously high."
"Peace and safety throughout life: Let the base build a ranch. The ranch can raise animals, both male and female, and the animals will breed on their own."
"Yellow sand is flying everywhere: Our base has a ranch, but the base manager raises the livestock himself, so we can only exchange with the base manager. There are also purchase limits. Exchanging is really a bit hard to do."
"Black Cat's Eye: You can use the refrigerator to store food! I just discovered today that the shelf life can be extended by 20 days."
"A butcher's knife: @BlackCatEye, do you have the blueprints? Are you selling them? I've already sent you a private message."
"Lying flat and being a salted fish: @BlackCatEye, I've already sent you a private message."
Jiang Baiyue was also worried about food preservation and sent a private message to Black Cat Eye.
She arranges for people to continuously fertilize and plant in her fields every day. Once a batch of food is harvested, the previous batches are nearing their expiration date, so she has to exchange them with residents or employees.
The total amount of food stockpiled is always limited, and Jiang Baiyue felt that to deal with unknown dangers, it was necessary to stockpile at least enough food for 2,000 people in one base for 20 days.
This is a minimum timeframe plan based on the duration of the last heavy rain period.
Black Cat Eyes didn't reply to Jiang Baiyue's private message, possibly because other players offered her more tempting benefits.
Jiang Baiyue was feeling down and was about to close the panel when she received a private message from Yin Kela.
"Silver Carat: Sister, we have refrigerator blueprints, shall we cooperate?"
"Lying-down-and-being-apathetic: What are your requirements?"
She had just rejected Silverclay herself, and she didn't know what Silverclay and the others' purpose was.
