Chapter 855 The Beginning of Minor Cold (1)
Every time this happens, all the players' hearts are in their throats, waiting for the electronic sound to sound.
Before Shu Lingyi even heard the electronic sound, he had already received Xiao Ai's reminder.
[A new decision, a new future, and a new rise will be the last threshold in your life that can change your destiny. ]
At this time Shu Lingyi still felt strange and frowned: What kind of immature words is Xiao Ai saying?
[February 11, 3103, 00:02, Minor Cold, today's lowest temperature is -53°, level 2 gale, no rain, ice is difficult to melt, cold wave is coming, extreme climate, players please take good care of yourself and beware of influenza. ]
[Yi Ling]: "-53°?! It was only 45 degrees yesterday. What the hell is this game about? It dropped 8 degrees in one day. Are you serious?"
[Zi Bu Yu]: "I was also scared... This is too unreasonable!"
[Xiao Xiao Yangmei]: "The temperature dropped by eight degrees in one day - this is too scary! Is this game system really correct?"
[Yu Bai]: "Is there a bug? Otherwise, the temperature drops by 8 degrees a day. If it keeps going like this, it will probably reach minus 100 degrees in a few days. If you want me to die, just tell me!"
【Zi Bu Yu】: "And what does that cold wave mean? Could it be that this is the reason why the temperature dropped 8° in one day? What about the disaster that will follow?"
[Suspicion]: "I told you that you never studied geography well! You don't even know where the cold wave came from, and you still have the nerve to yell on the public screen!"
It's a familiar feeling of being scolded.
[Zi Buyu] has gotten used to this. After all, in the eyes of her geography teacher, she is really naughty, but there is nothing they can do about it.
She sometimes wondered why she was so lucky that she even brought the teacher of the subject she was the worst at with her to the survival game? !
But fortunately, we can get additional information at this time, which is not a bad thing.
Therefore, [Zi Bu Yu] joked with [Doubt] and said, "Then teacher, just tell us how the cold wave is formed! I promise to listen carefully!"
【Xin Jing】: "You dare not not listen carefully!"
[Cang Sheng Taegeuk]: "After all, the more you know, the more chances you have of survival. Our Xiaoyu is still quite honest and upright."
【Zi Bu Yu】: "Welcome to Mr. Xu's geography class. What is this called? This is called practice makes perfect! Only by experiencing the current situation can we have a deeper understanding of the principles of these meteorological formations!"
[Suspicion] He rolled his eyes at this and began to analyze it for everyone in a bad mood.
[Suspicion]: "As the name suggests, a cold wave means that cold air rushes over like a tide. It is a form of cold air flow. It is often cold air from high-latitude areas, which quickly strengthens and invades mid- and low-latitude areas under certain weather conditions."
"For example, on the Blue Planet, the cold wave we encountered in Daxia was caused by the cold high pressure that broke out in Siberia and the Grassland Country in the White Bear Country and moved southward."
"In these areas, most of them are in the Arctic, where there is no sunlight all year round in winter and they are covered with ice and snow, causing the air masses that stay in those areas to become colder and drier.
When this cold air mass accumulates to a certain extent and the air pressure increases to a level much higher than that in the south, it is like a flood stored in the mountains. Once this opening finds the right opportunity, it will overflow and pour toward the south where the air pressure is lower, thus forming a cold wave. "
[Suspicion]: "In Daxia, the first major factor in determining a cold wave is that the temperature drops by 8 degrees within 24 hours. The weather forecast here says the temperature can drop to -53 degrees Celsius, but it doesn't mean it will drop directly to -53 degrees Celsius."
[Suspicion]: "Then the temperature will drop by 10 degrees in 48 hours, 12 degrees in 72 hours, and so on, with another two degrees drop every day. At the same time, cold waves are often accompanied by strong winds, heavy rain, and other icy and snowy weather."
[Yi Ling]: "Oh, I understand now. No wonder the weather forecast also noted a level 2 gale."
[Han Wu]: "I remember that the level 2 wind wasn't that strong, but the temperature is too cold now, and it's freezing."
[Xin Jing]: "These seem to be the last two solar terms of winter, they must be combined! Does that mean it will last 30 days? Now it's level 2, and it will increase by one level every few days until it reaches a high wind level of who knows how many levels later..."
It has to be said that everyone has experienced so many solar terms, and has gradually become familiar with these small operating procedures of the survival game.
Every time I speculate about disasters, I become more and more accurate in my predictions.
Of course, this is also because the game settings are indeed well planned. If they were all done without any rules, players would not dare to make random guesses.
[Suspicion]: "Strong winds alone are not enough. I am afraid that there will not only be strong winds, but also heavy rain and snow."
Hearing [doubt]'s statement, everyone gasped and felt their hair stand on end and a chill run through their body.
[Foodie Pipi]: "It's not that exaggerated, is it? If all these natural disasters come at the same time, then we will have no chance of survival, right?"
【Zi Bu Yu】: "It's as if this crappy game has prepared a way for us to survive."
[Cang Sheng Taegeuk]: "I don't think so either. Generally speaking, it seems that there have never been repeated natural disasters in this area."
【Flowing Years】: "I also think that there must be something very different in this solar term. Wind and rain are already very common, so there is no restriction on repetition."
[Han Wu]: "Actually, if you think back, every time there is wind and rain in the game, it has different circumstances - during the Qingming Festival, it was pure heavy rain + floods, mudslides, etc."
[Han Wu]: "Most of the rain in the later summers did not have too many negative effects. There was even no rain during the Greater and Lesser Heats. The winds at that time were a combination of typhoons, tornadoes, sandstorms and other problems."
[Cai Cai Cai Li]: "It is very different from the cold wind and rain we have in winter now."
[Big Ginger Head]: "The above analysis makes a lot of sense. Alas! On this day, the wind is cold, the rain is icy, and people can freeze to death."
It is already the Minor Cold, and there is no more heavy hail outside. Some players are sticking their heads out of their houses.
But the moment she emerged, the hair-thin rain was blown onto her face by the cold wind, almost freezing her into an ice cube.
He immediately retracted his head and ran back into the house to warm up.
[Sister Xiang who loves hotpot]: "Oh my god, it's really cold outside!"
[Yu Bai]: "At least it's not hailing anymore, but it's still cold. If we let the players stay outside, they'll probably freeze into popsicles."
Even when [Xingluoluo Caihong], [Yifanxuan] and others confirmed that the hail had stopped and they had lived to a new solar term and were showing proud smiles - he found that the wear and tear of his courtyard was actually decreasing even faster!
They communicated with each other in their respective backstage areas.
[Yifanxuan]: "I wanted to push the door open to get out and deal with the hail, but the door wouldn't open!"
[Winter Wind]: "It's the same here. The wear and tear is still increasing. If it continues like this, my courtyard will collapse!"
[Bear Cub]: "It's strange, why haven't we heard of any merging yet? Otherwise, we can buy materials to repair the shield."
What they didn't know was that as early as the arrival of the Minor Cold, the entire game area began to see a fine drizzle. The drizzle fell on the ground, restoring the land that had been riddled with holes by the huge hailstones to its original state.
But if it comes into contact with unprocessed hail, it will turn into a strange adhesive.
It makes the hailstones stick together and gradually turn them into a large piece of solidified "ice dumplings".
If you go outside, or in a river, you can see a large area of huge "ice dumplings" waiting to be picked.
The courtyards of players like [Xingluoluo Caihong] were covered by huge hailstones, and no one helped them clean them up. The hailstones were piled up one by one like a mountain.
As the drizzle began, it directly glued the entire mountain together, completely wrapping the courtyard under the hail mountain.
The damage caused by the hail mountain to the courtyard is naturally even greater, and the players can no longer get out from the inside. How can you clear the hail mountain if you can't even open the door?
Unless you break a big hole in the courtyard and get out, these players will definitely not think of this.
So everyone was extremely puzzled, and as they watched the degree of wear and tear increase again, they became more anxious.
[Winter Wind]: "I can't go on like this, or else my courtyard won't last until the next day!"
[Xingluoluo Rainbow]: "Wait a minute, why is the system updating so slowly this time?"
There are also players who have the same doubts as him.
[Tihuazhixiu]: "Hey, it's already 15 minutes past midnight, why hasn't this electronic music appeared yet?"
As Zhong Xiu spoke, the other players suddenly realized what was going on. They looked at the time and saw that it was already 15 minutes past the hour. Why hadn't the system announcement sounded yet? !
Everyone's doubts just emerged in their minds, and some people even started to speak boldly: "Is the game over?"
[Zi Bu Yu] Just as she finished saying this, a familiar electronic sound made its grand appearance at the perfect time.
And it was at this time that everyone discovered that their life cores could not be opened.
The player who was originally chatting and watching melons on the public screen was also confused when the public screen suddenly turned back into a crystal core uncontrollably, and the crystal core was spinning in the player's palm.
Shu Lingyi's expression also became extremely complicated, and his brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death.
This is the first time I've seen this happen.
Is this really a bug? I haven't seen this before the version update!
Not to mention Shu Lingyi, other players are in the same situation.
[Congratulations to all players for clearing Winter Solstice. The survival rate in this area is 49%. All surviving players gain +20 attribute points.]
[Start merging servers…]
[This is the final level of the survival game. To celebrate the remaining 16 game areas, the game will launch public screen communication between game areas, that is, cross-area communication. 】
[If you fail to pass the level, you will die, the blue planet will explode, and all human civilization will be destroyed. ]
【Victory is your only way out. 】
[The server merging is complete. I wish you all a happy game. 】
Before everyone could react, the server merger was completed and everyone could open the public screen normally.
After opening it, there were some slight changes on the homepage.
For example, the original homepage only had a public screen chat area for players in the entire game area, as well as a public screen chat area within the player’s own territory.
In fact, the public screen within the territory is rarely used. Generally, it is only used when the areas are just merged. Players in several game areas are not familiar with each other at first, and any private content will be discussed within the territory.
It is often necessary to wait until players gradually become familiar with the system and most information can be shared on the public screen before they will use the public screen of the entire game area again.
But now it is different. There is a public screen communication page for the 16 game areas of the entire server added to the homepage. The 16 game areas are displayed on it. When players speak, a suffix will be added after the player ID for easy distinction.
[Luolanyi] District 16: "No wonder it was forced to update. It turned out that it was a brand new version."
[Rescue Shell Deleted] District 6: "I have really broadened my horizons. I have never imagined such a scene."
【Zi Bu Yu】District 9: "Oh, so we are in District 9 now!"
【The Miserable Demon】District 9: "District 9 is great. It sounds so powerful and mysterious!"
Many players spoke one after another in the public screen, but the majority of them were from Shu Lingyi's group.
Only the players in their game area are active on the public screen all year round, and most of the time, they never hide any information and dare to say anything on the public screen.
At the beginning, everyone had not yet come to terms with the addition of cross-zone communication on the public screen, and many players were discussing this matter.
But soon some players recalled the words they left when the system was updated.
[Meow meow meow] Area 9: "Just now the system said that we are at the last level, right? Did I hear correctly?"
[Silver who loves to read novels] District 9: "I heard that too. It means that as long as we clear this solar term, we can end it and return to Blue Planet, right?!"
Everyone's tone was filled with a bit of surprise and uncertainty. This long-awaited news was enough to make players excited just thinking about it.
【Time Passes】Zone 9: "But this only works if we successfully clear the level."
[Xiaoxiao Yangmei] District 9: "If we fail to clear the level, not only will we die, but it seems that the blue planet will explode and all human civilization will be destroyed?"
[Foodie Pipi] District 9: "I just took a break and took some medicine, and when I opened my eyes I saw this explosive news?"
【Yiling】Zone 9: "It seems that the electronic voice said so."
At this moment, Shu Lingyi couldn't help but think of his mysterious dream. Could it be that the hellish scene was the scene that would occur after failing to pass the level?
Just thinking about it, she couldn't accept that kind of scene.
Under such natural disasters, it is only natural for human civilization to be destroyed...
【Zi Bu Yu】District 9: “So you all heard it. I thought I heard it wrongly. No way, this crappy game is also bound to the Blue Planet? What kind of advanced civilization’s prank is this!”
[Silver who loves to read novels] District 9: "Zi Buyu's words reminded me of a novel I read before, in which a high-level civilization got bored and decided to create the apocalypse, leaving the people of low-level civilizations to struggle for survival for their amusement."
[Novel: Advanced Cancer Patient] District 1: "Wow, I've also read a book like the one mentioned above!"
[Nine-meter Eight General Attack] Area 7: "Damn advanced civilization, now it's good, to survive not only for yourself, but also for the mother planet."
[Novel: Advanced Cancer Patient] District 1: "Yeah, isn't the plot familiar now? For the sake of our home planet, for ourselves, and for our loved ones on the blue planet, we have to struggle to survive and entertain these advanced civilizations."
Everyone's words seemed to have completely defined the nature of this survival game.
[Dora Mi Dodo] District 6: "Everyone, don't get too hung up on this. Slow down. If it's really an advanced civilization teasing us, we should calm down and think."
[Poetry for the Next Year] District 6: "Woo woo, the Lord's wife is still as gentle as ever. If I support you, we can join forces and overcome the difficulties together! Let these advanced civilizations see!"
[Bikki Bottom Stepping Stone Paige] Zone 6: "My wife is right. This is the last level. We have all made it this far. There is no reason why we can't survive to complete it."
[Have you completed the continuous missions?] District 9: "That's right. If you ask me, with these big guys from Territory 001 here, there will be no problem in clearing the level!"
The topic ended here, and everyone's emotions went from hatred and excitement at the beginning to calm down.
New targets have been identified.
Even the "lying bug" who has always been relatively indifferent to life and death has ignited the fighting spirit. After all, the people of Daxia have never lacked people who can stand up in desperate situations.
Our ancestors used their flesh and blood to support a peaceful sky, so how can they not support the future of the blue planet!
Everyone started to change the topic and refocus on the new features that came with the core update of this game.
[Xia Ri Bin Bin] District 9: "I also researched this new trading center. Is it cross-district?"
【The Miserable Demon】District 9: "This is totally normal. If we can communicate across regions, we should naturally develop cross-region transactions. It's a pity that players can't cross regions, haha!"
[Ning Nuannuan who loves Shunchang stuffed eggs] District 9: "So I came here from a merged zone, right? It's just a new solar term. I took a closer look at the content above and the hail didn't melt - this hail seems to be even more solidified!"
These players were still trapped outside. Even though everyone had been discussing for a long time on the public screen, it was actually only twelve twenty-three.
There are players in many game areas hiding under shields at this moment. Some have super shields if they are lucky enough, but Ning Nuannuan and the others obviously don't have this condition.
[Yu Sangquan who loves crispy whole dishes] District 9: "These hailstones seem to have solidified into a large pile. I can't even force myself to get up, let alone move my body to take out the ice drill to clean these hailstones."
[Susu Little Fairy] District 9: "I was thinking I wouldn't have to die when the new solar term came, but the hail not only didn't disappear, it became even more solid. The rain fell and merged with the hail..."
[Mongolian beast who likes tiger-striped dogs] Area 9: "It's raining outside, and the hail is sticking together. It won't melt, and a new layer of ice has formed. Those players are still trapped there!"
As soon as the new solar term came and the heavy hail rain stopped, Meng Wan asked many players to start rescue operations, but once they went out, they realized that it was not that easy.
Combined with feedback from other players, this made her rescue operation even more difficult.
[Asura]: "This rain is very corrosive to clothing. Ordinary props can't withstand it at all!"
The drizzle did not seem scary. Meng Wan and the others thought that although they did not have the super raincoat that Shu Lingyi had hung at the trading center, they had similar props, whether it was an umbrella or a raincoat, which were definitely enough for the drizzle.
The adhesive properties of drizzle are also based on things like hail, and it is useless to humans. Besides, there is no lightning now, so anyone can do it with a lantern.
But - the light rain and the cold wind obviously make ordinary rain gear simply inadequate.
Not to mention going outside the territory. If you can't get out of the protective shield, you will get caught in the rain and get sick.
They really have to be wary of the flu in the weather forecast, otherwise they will fall into a trap, just like the cold buff, and the players will lose their lives without being able to save themselves.
[Hua Sanseng's Little Scimitar] District 9: "It seems that this is our fate. There is probably no way out. Lord Meng, this is ultimately our own fault. If you can save us, then do so. If you can't, then forget it."
[Mongolian monster who likes tiger-striped dogs] District 9: "How can this be possible! Don't say anything. Let me think of a solution."
[Xiao Xiao Yang Mei] District 9: "Haven't you rescued the people yet? It's so cold outside the territory and the hail won't melt. If they are pressed down like this, won't they die?!"
[Dancing Shadows] District 9: "The weather forecast says that we should be careful about the flu. We need to move around outside and be exposed to the wind. The flu will definitely be very serious."
【Lying Bug】Zone 12: "Fortunately, as long as I am good at playing badly, I won't run out to seek death and end up getting infected."
【Clouds and Fireworks Are Others】District 12: "Our lord is a terrible person, but there weren't many of us out for a stroll at the time, so only a few suffered. Now they are all dead. Sigh..."
[Leslie Cheung who likes hanging grass skirts] District 12: "At that time, the lord advised everyone not to go out for the last two or three days. Our lord is still very forward-looking."
However, there were still many players who were keen enough to see the lives of those players who were still trapped under the hail outside the territory.
These people are unfortunate, but also lucky, because the drizzle will freeze when it comes into contact with the huge hail, so it will not fall on the players trapped under the hail pile.
Otherwise, many players are already on the verge of life and death, and if one more person like this comes along, there’s no need to rescue them and they’ll just die.
[Nine-meter Eight General Attack] District 7: "The price of that pair of sunglasses is really a sudden backstab. A lot of people have died in the past two days! It's raining now and it's inconvenient to go out. Those players..."
Behind the silent words is the sad news of death that everyone knows.
[Asura] District 9: "What should I do? It's hard to go out at this late hour?!"
[Yi Ling] District 9: "This is easy. Give us the gold coins to hire our people to rescue you."
