Chapter 76 Workbench Upgrade
bite!
Jiang Baiyue focused her gaze and turned to look at the upgraded workbench.
The upgraded workbench is now much larger, and the basic crafting items include bluestone flooring, shelves, round flower beds, and several basic household items.
Territory Stone?!
Jiang Baiyue pointed to the last item and read the description word by word.
Territory Stone
Description: Claim territory; this territory will have the same defensive capabilities as the base.
Crafting Requirements: 1 Stone, 5 Items from Level 4 or Higher Monsters, 1 Fluorescent Stone
This is good stuff.
The materials needed to make it are not many; she also obtained a few fluorescent stones in a trade with a base.
Jiang Baiyue took out the stone and the fluorescent stone and placed them on the workbench. Then she rummaged through the warehouse and found several level 4 spider monster legs.
She's no longer the only one in the base with a workbench, so she's taken it back for her own use. She can even go out and explore further afield.
Jiang Baiyue's temporary plan is to take advantage of the receding floodwaters to open up the nearby quarantine area.
While waiting, she brought up the game panel and silently looked at the messages in the world chat area.
What comes after the torrential rain?
The rainstorm disaster was preceded by continuous rainfall... She needs to observe the situation more closely recently.
This is something Jiang Baiyue has been thinking about.
Thanks to the protective shield blueprints, the support from farmland production, and the resources available for scavenging in the dungeon, we were able to survive this disaster.
Therefore, she kept thinking about whether she could make some preparations by inferring from the environment or information from other areas.
However, there have been fewer messages in the world chat area recently, with only a few people posting messages, and most of them are missing person messages.
"Watermelon Sweetie: Looking for someone. Has a mole on their face. Must include a photo. Payment offered."
"King Copper Horn: What's the use of finding someone who's not in the same area... just watching them suffer..."
"Northeast Golden Shaded Dog: It's so hot! Why can't I trade in the World Exchange Zone?"
"Representative: If trading is possible, then it'll be simple..."
"Mumu: Our district should have survived the extreme heat disaster, but I wonder what will be next."
"Northeast Golden Shaded Dog: So far, I've seen it in areas with eternal night, extreme heat, extreme cold, and torrential rain. Hopefully, this is what we know so far, so we can be a little prepared."
"The representative said: It's not that simple."
"Strong and Powerful: Can any players who have experienced this share their information? Let's help each other out."
"Attack with a knife: Sharing information, what supplies are you giving in return? You can't just tell me for free, can you?"
"Mumu: That might not even be useful."
"Kong Wu You Li: I'm not even sure if the information you provided is correct."
"Northeast Golden Shaded Dog: Available for exchange. Anyone interested in trading? Extremely hot information."
"Attack with a knife: Hahaha, you can't even trade, what are you guys discussing?"
"Looking for someone surnamed Lin who doesn't use an umbrella in the rain. Please include a photo."
"Northeast Daikin Shaded Jackfruit: Extreme heat disasters mean temperatures rise by 2-5 degrees Celsius per day. Planting more trees at the base is necessary to cool things down. Also, store plenty of water."
"8888: It's almost freezing cold, so we can make more hand warmers and collect more wood to make campfire torches. If we have the resources, we can also make mini heaters and air conditioners."
"Attack with a knife: Bullshit! Extreme cold isn't just about a drop in temperature. This guy's not honest either; he only says half of what he means."
"8888: I hadn't even finished speaking when you interrupted me, clearly trying to show off, huh? I won't share, I won't help you, and I won't even say anything to you, but you still have to cause trouble and sow discord."
"Representative: I believe it. Ignore certain ill-intentioned people. You can easily verify the truth of this information by comparing it with acquaintances in different districts. There's no need to spread rumors; doing so will only damage your credibility."
"Watermelon Sweetie: A downpour means it will keep raining, the temperature will drop a bit, and the water outside the base will be very deep. We'll have to kill the fish monster to end it..."
"Northeast Daikin Shaded Jack: It's always a good idea to stock up on store manager supplies. Try to stock up on supplies with a long shelf life, and ideally, you should be able to buy and exchange them for farmland."
No one shared the information about the eternal night.
Jiang Baiyue watched for a long time, but no kind person shared the territory stone with her until it was completed.
Switching to the chat area of Zone 301, Jiang Baiyue was first shocked by the number of survivors, and felt a little uncomfortable.
The number of people has already dropped below 40,000, but only for a short while, and this is still after the various bases have received the protective shields.
The exact number of bases in the entire exchange area is unknown, but Jiang Baiyue is not the only one who possesses a workbench and blueprints for protective shields.
Even the blueprints for Ya's basic protective shield in the spring were sold to a certain base.
She sighed, wondering why the number of survivors was so low.
Not knowing what awaits her, Jiang Baiyue felt that she should try her best to ensure the survival of as many people as possible while protecting herself.
Otherwise, with more and more monsters and fewer and fewer people, individuals will face even more monsters and be in greater danger.
Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Jiang Baiyue led the mercenaries to Space Station No. 1 and buried half of the territory stone in the soil at the entrance of the space station.
An invisible wave of energy rippled outwards from the territory stone, with a radius of about 20 meters. A thin, misty barrier rose from the ground and formed a semicircle at the top.
Because there were many players today, the surrounding zombies were cleared out very well.
There was a zombie wandering around outside the barrier, seemingly unaware of Jiang Baiyue's presence.
Jiang Baiyue ran a few steps over and reached the edge of the barrier, but the zombie still seemed not to have noticed her.
She took a step forward, extending half of her body out from behind the barrier.
Hoo—!
The zombie shook its head, its mutilated arm trembling, and drooling as it lunged at Jiang Baiyue.
That's fast!
Jiang Baiyue quickly retreated back inside the barrier. The zombie lost its sense of her again, and after a moment of stunned silence, it resumed its aimless wandering.
After testing the effect of the territory stone, Jiang Baiyue returned to the base and made two more territory stones, placing one in Space Station No. 2 and temporarily keeping the other in her backpack.
With some time left during the day, she led the mercenaries to clean up the body sacs at the entrances of the three quarantine zones near Space Station 1.
Harvested 3 iron resource boxes, containing 23 detonators, 931 coins, 63 compressed biscuits, 20 rice seeds, 16 bandages, and 5 mechanical parts.
Aside from the seeds and detonators, which surprised Jiang Baiyue a bit, everything else was just so-so.
Night was approaching, so she quickly led the mercenaries to clear out the nearby zombies and returned to the base before dark.
As soon as she returned to the base, a notification about new wanderers rang in Jiang Baiyue's mind.
[Wanderer Lin Chi visits; do you agree to let Lin Chi stay at the White Moon Base for 48 hours?]
"agree."
Jiang Baiyue didn't know what she was thinking, but when she turned around, she suddenly saw a phantom become solid and appear at the entrance of Baiyue Base.
This must be Lin Chi.
They were well-equipped, like special police officers, and had sharp eyes, making them quite different from the residents of the White Moon Base.
The equipment used by the people at the White Moon Base was pieced together; the colors didn't match, and it wasn't even complete.
Some people are armed on the upper body, while their lower body is dressed in ordinary clothes. For example, Jiang Baiyue only has a light bulletproof vest.
Not to mention the others.
