Chapter 201 Jinjiang Exclusive Release
As early as the beginning of the polar day, storms of varying sizes and intensities began to blow in other areas of this plane.
Among them are typhoons, tornadoes, and the weakest is a Category 11 hurricane.
These extremely powerful winds swept across the entire plane at an extremely fast speed, causing turbulent waves in rivers and lakes, and stirring up terrifying sandstorms in the desert that affected the aurora. Other places also suffered varying degrees of damage.
And tomorrow, the aftermath will reach the area where Yunlu Village is located.
Lu Xuan had carefully selected this place as the new settlement of Yunlu Village, so when the storm arrived, its intensity was far less than at the beginning.
But the storm still has a huge impact on the ocean. It can uproot many trees and blow away houses on land, not to mention on the sea.
A wave of seven or eight meters high could easily swallow up all the boats, big and small, that Huo Tiankuo had bought.
Huo Tiankuo not only had to return quickly, but also had to pack up the tents that had not been dismantled in the camp and ensure that all personnel were moved to the greenhouse.
Lu Xuan didn't dare to say that the greenhouse could withstand the spring storm before the end of the polar day, but there was still a probability of 70% to 80%.
But Yunlu Village is much simpler.
The safe house can be called a safe house, so its sturdiness is unquestionable, not to mention that Lu Xuan now has an additional city protective shield in his hand.
The processing sheds and the tents where the helpers lived in the village remained as they were. Lu Xuan took out the city protective cover as big as two computer cases, added special energy stones into it, and started it!
With an imperceptible buzzing sound, the invisible protective layer spread outwards to a radius of more than ten kilometers from the village.
Lu Xuan kept an eye on the protective shield control screen at all times and found that one tenth of the energy stone was consumed in just a moment of activation. He was shocked and quickly reduced the protective range.
He just controlled it to the extent that the village was enclosed, and even the greenhouse was excluded.
The rapidly consuming energy stone progress bar finally slowed down.
Lu Xuan sighed, "Sure enough, this thing consumes a lot of energy."
[That's completely different. You should know that once the planet's shield is activated, the consumption is calculated based on an entire energy stone vein.]
[Even with the city's protective shield fully operational, it consumes dozens of special energy stones per day. Streamers, please be prepared.]
Lu Xuan: “…”
He couldn't help but count the energy stone inventory in the space.
Daily discounts can refresh one hundred to eighty energy stones of different levels every day.
There are also quite a few blind boxes that have been opened one after another.
In addition to points, the easiest thing to get from diamond blind boxes and black gold blind boxes is special energy stones, and there are quite a few of them accumulated.
It only takes six or seven days, so it shouldn't drain him dry.
…
At noon the next day, the storm arrived as expected.
The villagers of Yunlu Village, led by Li Tie, and the stranded helpers stood at the gates of several houses on the edge of the village, looking at the sky that had been bright since the polar day being covered by gray clouds, and the howling wind that was isolated outside the transparent protective cover, with expressions of shock and uncertainty.
“What a strong wind!”
"Look over there, a tree was blown up!" Li Tuo pointed to a half-grown uprooted tree in the distance that was blown up into the sky by the strong wind, his expression shocked.
The thick and old trees were also blown to and fro by the wind, and the newly grown leaves on the branches were all blown away, leaving the branches bare.
“Not just trees, but also rocks.”
Wu Yang's amazing eyesight allowed him to clearly see that many large and small stones in the wilderness were blown away by the swirling wind and crushed into pieces in mid-air.
The others listened to Wu Yang's retelling and saw that wherever the strong wind passed through the wilderness, it became exceptionally "clean and flat." Even though they knew that they would not be affected by the protective shield, their faces still turned a little pale.
Compared to the thunderstorm that seemed like the end of the world a few months ago, the storm that swept up sand, trees and rocks was terrifying in another sense.
Old Master Zhang held his pounding heart as he looked at the greenhouse not far away, which was buzzing with wind and waves, as if it would be shattered by the huge wind and waves at any moment. He asked nervously, "Ah Xuan, is the greenhouse really not going to be damaged by the wind?"
Lu Xuan, who was standing not far away, said, "Even if it's damaged, only a small part will be damaged."
The hilly terrain is relatively flat, which makes farming convenient. However, when encountering a storm, there are no other obstacles on either side to reduce the wind speed, so it is inevitable to take some risks.
However, as long as they fill the hole from the inside in time, there is no need to worry about affecting the crops inside.
However, for the greenhouses in the mountains, the wind will be much weaker after being buffered by the mountains, and there is basically no risk of being blown away.
With Lu Xuan's comfort, the villagers were reluctant to let go, but their frowns could not be relaxed.
Li Tie sighed and said, "The other victims don't have safe houses, let alone the protective shields given by the immortals. I don't know if they can withstand such a strong storm."
Li Jing frowned: "Even stones and trees can be blown into the sky by the wind, so people are definitely no exception. When the wind stops, the mortal body will fall from the sky..." and will definitely be smashed to pieces.
The others imagined such a scene and couldn't help but shudder.
Miao Jinfeng patted his chest thankfully and said, "Fortunately, we have a protective shield."
Li Jing tilted his head and asked Lu Xuan, "Is the shield's consumption very high?"
The training room also used a protective shield during the beast attack. At that time, one high-level energy stone was consumed every day. Now the protective shield can cover the entire village. Isn’t it even more exaggerated?
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "It's not small."
The scale of covering only a small village does not require the consumption of dozens of special energy stones a day, but at least three to five are needed.
The cost price of one special-grade energy stone is more than 300 kilograms of mutant grains. The price Lu Xuan offers for special-grade energy stones is 500 kilograms of mutant grains, which is equivalent to consuming more than 2,000 kilograms of supplies every day.
The storm lasted for ten days, which meant more than 20,000 kilograms of supplies.
After Li Tie got the specific numbers, he felt so distressed that his facial features twisted together.
But no matter how painful it was, he didn't ask Lu Xuan to turn off the protective shield.
The public supplies had previously stored up a lot of food, including winter fish, animal meat and seafood, and the largest space was filled with more than one.
It's just more than 20,000 kilograms of supplies, which they can definitely afford. Although they feel bad about it, they can't really let everyone hide away just to save supplies. The greenhouse and mushroom house need people to stay there every day, and it would be suffocating if they can't go out for ten days.
only……
Mr. Zhang glanced at the greenhouse, which had only the entrance covered. "It's easy to get in and out of a greenhouse on the hill, but what about in the mountains?"
Others were also a little worried.
Lu Xuan said: "You can use a single-person protective shield."
In addition to the special energy stone, the black gold blind box has also produced several single-person protective shields.
Considering the price of the black and gold blind box, it would be a pure loss to produce a single-person protective shield, but considering the practicality of the protective shield, Lu Xuan thinks it is still worthwhile.
Lu Xuan demonstrated to everyone the effect of a single-person protective shield in strong winds.
Everyone saw him strolling forward leisurely in the strong wind. The yellow whirlwind of sand and dust was blown away by the protective shield as soon as it approached, and did not affect Lu Xuan's movements at all.
Chen Rong clapped his hands in admiration, his eyes shining, "The protective shield really works!"
Li Tie also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Now we don't have to worry about delaying the harvest in the greenhouse on the mountain."
If the storm delayed subsequent watering and fertilizing work, the loss of grain would be more than a little bit.
Lu Xuan took out several extra single-person protective shields and handed them to Li Tie, asking him to distribute them to the people on duty every day according to needs.
The rent will be settled together with the city shield after the storm is over.
The villagers watched the storm outside for a while, and after confirming that it had little impact on them, they quickly returned to their homes and went about their business.
Lu Xuan contacted Huo Tiankuo and prepared to ask about the situation on his side.
…
At that time, in the Huo family army camp.
All the personal soldiers and disaster victims gathered in the greenhouse, and like the villagers of Yunlu Village, they looked at the howling wind outside, their faces pale and their expressions solemn.
"Fortunately, we have a greenhouse. If we were still living in the tent, we would be blown up into the sky like the dust and gravel outside." A disaster victim sighed softly.
The others nodded with lingering fear. Who said it wasn't true?
The hail in the rainy season and the beast attacks in the extreme cold season are certainly terrifying, but this invisible wind can also take their lives if it is strong enough.
Luckily they have a greenhouse.
Just as they were thinking this, the glass in front was shaken by a very strong wind, making a "bang bang" sound. The disaster victims who had just breathed a sigh of relief were so scared that they couldn't help but tense up again.
Everyone looked panicked and asked, "Will the greenhouse be damaged as well?"
"I remember that glass isn't very strong. The Wei family once bought glass to make windows, but one time there was a strong wind in the city and the glass shattered. Someone in the Wei family was even scratched by the broken glass."
"It's unlucky to mention the Wei family at this time."
"The key point is whether the glass will break!"
Huo Tiankuo, who had rushed back early, listened to the panicked discussions of the disaster victims and spoke to comfort them:
"Don't worry, everyone. The glass used in the greenhouse is much stronger than ordinary glass and won't break easily. Even if it does, only a small part will break. Brother Lu has left some spare glass. If you find any broken glass, please report it immediately. If it can't be repaired as soon as possible, there won't be any problems."
After hearing this, the victims hurriedly said, "Don't worry, General. We will always pay attention!"
"That's right! We can't let these damn winds destroy our homes and crops."
Huo Tiankuo said, "The wind outside will blow for several more days. Don't think too much. Just do what you need to do and disperse."
Having said that, except for some people who were on duty to tend to the crops in the fields today and got up and left, the rest of the people had no intention of doing anything else at this time and still gathered together to stare outside.
Huo Tiankuo did not force them. Just then, Lu Xuan called, so they found a quiet place to talk to each other.
·
For the next few days, strong winds blew non-stop from morning to night.
Yunlu Village is fine, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating have not been affected. At most, the hunting team and the gathering team cannot go out hunting and picking wild vegetables, and can only pass the time in the training room or in holographic games.
The Huo family army felt even more aggrieved.
They couldn't leave the greenhouse, but they had enough food and drink. There were a lot of supplies stored in the space, and they could play games, so they definitely wouldn't feel bored. The only problem was that going to the toilet was a bit troublesome, so they had to stay in the greenhouse.
The air conditioner's evolutionary function is indeed remarkable, but it can't withstand more than 3,000 people defecating at the same time.
If so much feces were left in the greenhouse for ten days, wouldn't everyone in the camp be pickled?
Too much filth will inevitably bring germs and make people sick.
For the safety of the victims and to keep the air fresh, Huo Tiankuo hesitated and gritted his teeth before collecting all the excrement into an unused space ring, waiting to throw it away after the storm was over.
As for whether the newly vacated space can still be used or whether it will be disliked, I can’t care about that at this moment.
·
On the third and fourth days of the storm, the wind suddenly increased, and several greenhouses on both sides were damaged.
Fortunately, both parties were well prepared. They rushed to the damaged greenhouse to repair it as soon as they heard the sound. The mutated plants were much more tenacious than the original medicinal materials. Apart from being blown to and fro, they were not uprooted, affecting the yield.
Two days later, the Huo family army welcomed the third harvest of crops. The victims no longer had time to care about the strong wind outside and were busy harvesting.
This time the harvest was a little more than the previous two times, a total of 1.6 million kilograms.
The Huo family army collected 30% and distributed the rest. The old, young, women and children could each get 260 kilograms, the young and strong could get 390 kilograms, and the personal soldiers could get 520 kilograms.
It is certainly not comparable to the several thousand kilograms of grain that each family in Yunlu Village received, but many of the victims have not yet finished eating the grain harvested last time, and some even have enough left to last until the next harvest.
All the food income this time can be stored.
There is no shortage of food anymore. There is rice and meat, and the mushroom house has a stable output of mushrooms. The victims who were on the brink of starvation not long ago can be said to have completely escaped poverty and entered a well-off life.
Some people have even begun to dream of owning their own houses like in Yunlu Village, living a stable life that is no different from before the disaster, or even better.
The disaster victims didn’t know that the houses in Yunlu Village were not ordinary houses. They were still discussing in a low voice whether they should build houses similar to theirs after the wind outside died down.
Huo Tiankuo didn't think too much about it. He just contacted Lu Xuan in advance and used public supplies to reserve six new large ships.
The ship required this time is larger than the two previously purchased, and each can accommodate at least 500 people.
One ship requires 80,000 kilograms of mutant grain, three of which will be settled with the mutant grain, and three will be settled with the harvest from the sea fishing in the previous few days.
Lu family.
Lu Xuan bought the six large ships that Huo Tiankuo wanted and calculated the profit he would make.
The cost of a large ship is 5 million points, and six ships will cost 30 million points.
After the materials that Huo Tiankuo used to pay for the loan are recovered, he can earn 150 million yuan and have a net profit of 120 million yuan.
A huge profit.
The audience in the live broadcast room also understood the amount of money and were so jealous that they wanted to give themselves up in exchange.
At the same time, I also wondered why Huo Tiankuo bought so many ships at once?
[Is this to prepare for the coming rainy season? Their camp isn't very high above sea level. If it floods, where will over 3,000 people go? They need a suitable place to stay.]
Each of the six boats can accommodate 500 people, and if we squeeze in, there's even more space, just enough to accommodate everyone.
【Didn’t you buy two before?】
[You don't understand this, right? As the old saying goes, when you're well fed and warm, you think of your parents.] With the help of the anchor, the lives of the disaster victims are getting better and better. Now that they're well fed and warm, shouldn't their other needs follow?]
There are undoubtedly many singles among the disaster victims, as well as widows and widowers left after the disaster. If these people were to start new families, wouldn't they need to redistribute their small spaces to facilitate the birth of their own children? We definitely need to prepare some affluent spaces.
【!!! I’m too narrow-minded! 】
[But then again, having more people means more benefits. The greenhouses are large and the output is high. It's only been a short time, and they already have more boats than Yunlu Village. Tsk tsk.]
What's the point of comparing this? If the host wanted to, he could buy hundreds of ships in a matter of minutes, but there aren't that many people in the village, so there's no need.
Lu Xuan deeply agreed with this.
Huo Tiankuo bought several large ships just to facilitate water travel. He has a floating bus, an RV, and more than a dozen aircraft. Isn't he much richer than Huo Tiankuo?
If Huo Tiankuo wants to travel far away, he still has to rent a car from him.
No, you don’t actually have to rent a car.
In the previous beast attack, in addition to obtaining a large amount of meat, the Huo family army also intentionally left behind a group of frenzied horses.
After the blood moon ended, the wild horses stopped going crazy. The Huo family soldiers took great pains to tame them, making them their new war horses.
Therefore, the Huo family army is not completely without means of transportation nowadays.
It’s just that now there are huge cracks everywhere in the outside world caused by earthquakes, so horses are not as useful as before.
·
The coming of a storm is not all bad.
The consumption of the protective shield is indeed very large, but at the same time, strong wind can also bring huge energy.
Lu Xuan had drawn several energy converters before.
Several energy converters are placed at the edge of the city's protective shield, with the receiving ports facing outward. The converters actively absorb a large amount of strong winds, and soon the wind energy is converted into energy to recharge the exhausted energy stones.
After ten days of storm, the energy converter replenished Lu Xuan with energy equivalent to hundreds of high-level energy stones.
Not only did it make up for the consumption of the city's protective shield, but it also made a lot of money.
On the last day of the storm, when the polar day was about to end, Lu Xuan gathered his family together and invited the village chief, Mr. Zhang, Wu Cheng, Ge Yuan and other influential people in the village.
Lu Xuan said to the people who looked puzzled, "The polar day will end tomorrow, and I'm going out for a while."
Everyone paused and exchanged glances.
Li Tie pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you have any other plans or purposes for going out this time?"
If you are just going out hunting or to the beach, and it is not your first time, there is no need to call them all over so solemnly.
Lu Xuan nodded, without hiding anything, and said frankly: "I plan to go out and find disaster victims in other gathering places to trade and do business."
