The meeting came to an end.
Zhao Xian: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. The patrol team members will stay, and the rest of the production staff can go back and rest."
"yes."
Everyone's expressions were much more relaxed than when they came for the meeting. Although they were still serious, the previous faint panic had disappeared.
At first, everyone was afraid of three things: what entered the base, how did it get in, and what did it mean when it said that they would die of thirst due to lack of water?
The fear of the unknown is the deepest.
But after one meeting, these issues were almost resolved.
The people who entered the base were ordinary people infected by sea monsters. Although it is not clear how they got here, we can refer to mad cow disease.
He was brought in by the guards, not by breaking in. The base is still secure.
As for the mutants' claims of dying of thirst, that was sheer nonsense. The water treatment plant had water storage, and the kitchen warehouse had pumpkins, so they wouldn't die.
If all else fails, you can go out and eat snow!
Everyone obediently dispersed, leaving only the patrol team members present.
Qiao Xuejun was still sitting there, and of course, no one was trying to get her to leave.
Zhao Xian said, "The mutant crisis has escalated, and we need to re-investigate. We're forming a reconnaissance team now."
·
Before everyone was called to the meeting, Shen Xingtang, who was trapped in the small dark room, also heard the noise outside.
"There's not enough water at the base! We can go to the sea monster and stop worrying about starvation and thirst!—"
She sat up in bed at once.
"System, what's that sound?!" She was still a little panicked.
The sound was like an explosion in her ears, waking her up from her deep sleep, and she quickly asked the system.
System: [Host, the sea monster's men have arrived. All plot points are being automatically repaired.]
Shen Xingtang didn't understand and murmured, "What do you mean?"
System: [This is your fate as the heroine. You are destined to become the administrator of the most powerful force in this world. This force is not the First Base, nor the Sea Fortress, but a truly powerful and invincible mutant camp.]
Shen Xingtang: "Unbeatable?"
The voice in Shen Xingtang's heart scoffed, "Come on, isn't that how the system tricked you in the beginning? They said you were the heroine, that you were lucky, and now you've ended up like this, trapped here with no way out!"
Shen Xingtang bit her lip. "System, you're not lying to me, are you?"
System; [Host, I am a part of you, and you are a part of me. I will not lie to you.]
The voice said sarcastically: "AI doesn't lie to AI~"
Shen Xingtang asked the system: "So, should I go find the sea monster? If I go find the sea monster, will they recognize me as their lord?"
The system was silent for a moment: [Host, this requires a certain method. I believe you should first cooperate with the sea monster faction to gain favor. Once you have enough favor, you can exchange it for favor items, making controlling the sea monster a breeze.]
Shen Xingtang thought for a moment and nodded: "Indeed."
It is difficult for her to control people with her favorability props. They can only affect ordinary people and passers-by, but not important people.
But she is very accurate in catching sea monsters. Even very strong sea monsters cannot escape her favorability items.
Because sea monsters are low-level, they are considered animals.
Shen Xingtang: "But I'm locked up now. How can I get out?"
System: [Meet Huo Antu or Dr. An more often to build up your favorability. You can exchange them for some useful props and use them to plan your escape.]
[Of course, you can plan before escaping. It would be best to plunge both the base and the sea fort into even greater chaos.]
Shen Xingtang: "For example?"
【For example, the water shortage I just mentioned.】
Shen Xingtang's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to nod, he heard the voice in his heart scolding, "Use your brain! You just believe everything the system says? How can the base be short of water when there's an ice harvester? They're not stupid, so how can they stockpile water?"
"Besides, the temperature has dropped significantly. It's snowing every day. There's snow and ice all over the doorway. Will there be a shortage of water? Those sea monsters are all brainless beasts. Are you too?"
Shen Xingtang frowned and asked the system a different question than the voice in his heart had asked.
System: [Host. The base will definitely be short of water. This is a plot necessity. The weather is so cold, -72°C. They couldn't have anticipated this. Going out to collect snow at this temperature is impossible. Anyone outside for more than five minutes risks frostbite and death.]
[Death of thirst, death of freezing. The base can only choose one.]
[Just like you are the heroine, this cannot be changed.]
Shen Xingtang understood: "Oh, it's so cold? Will it stay cold forever?"
System: [No. Host, the first cooling period is only 3 days.]
Shen Xingtang was incredulous: "How could someone die of thirst in just three days?"
Even without the inner voice reminding him, Shen Xingtang knew it was impossible. With such a large ice-harvesting team, they couldn't possibly not get enough water for three days.
[Host, the temperature will rise in three days and continue to rise for a week. The people at the base will think the temperature drop is over and the natural disaster is over.]
But after hope comes even greater despair. No one could have known that the second drop in temperature would last for two full months. Only you would know.
Shen Xingtang was stunned.
She remembered something: "Doesn't the guy named Qiao also have a system?"
System: [She's just a passerby, and her system is low-level. I don't think she understands the plot. She hasn't shown any actions that indicate she knows the plot.]
