Chapter 867 The Beginning of the Great Cold (2)
【Mi Zhishan】District 5: "We won't be fooled by this kind of consumerism. We should just clean up the area around our own house. Why would we care so much? Really."
[Matrix] District 5: "Alas, there are only ten days left. I don't believe that I can't survive hiding in the courtyard for ten days!"
These people were talking to each other.
However, most of the players in these 5 zones support their ideas. These people are too lazy to go out and just want to lie at home every day.
There was really nothing they could do in the past, but now that they have been lazy for a long time, no one thinks that this hail and snow will do anything to them anyway.
As long as you don't go out, this little bit of shotgun snow water should be enough.
They can also sell this shotgun snow water on the trading center and raise the price.
Anyway, the quantity is small and the difficulty to obtain is high so it is normal to sell it at a high price. How could anyone be reluctant to buy it?
As long as they have financial income, those players who still need to buy wood will be able to survive until the end of the solar term.
The group of people were very proud and satisfied, and they even asked someone to buy food from [001 Territory] to eat.
This seemingly carefree and relaxing day suddenly came to the 4th day of the falling hail and snow. On the 29th, the wind was still the familiar level 5 wind.
In fact, the wind was not particularly strong, but the hail and snow were falling heavier and heavier, and even the power of the explosion after contact was stronger.
Hail the Snow also became more irritable and angry.
Sometimes, when the wind blows, the contact between two snow peas may cause a small explosion, although this small explosion is only the size of a tiny spark.
If the player accidentally touches it, at most one tenth of your health bar will be lost!
Drinking medicinal soup to warm the body can prevent players from being frightened. No matter what, the power of shotgun snow is still a little too scary.
【Zi Bu Yu】Zi 9: “Fuck, I didn’t pay attention and lost half of my health!”
[Zi Bu Yu] This one wasn't paying attention and encountered a series of explosions. He hurriedly drank a lot of high-level medicinal soup.
The effect of the best medicinal soup is better and longer lasting, but the blood loss now is not particularly severe. The best medicinal soup can heal a person from low blood to full blood.
It can also continue to restore blood for 3 hours.
There is really no need to use such a good thing now.
[The Miserable Demon] District 9: "Forget about you. This means that the power is getting stronger and stronger. If it continues, I can't even imagine how much medicine soup we will have to drink next."
[Matrix] Area 5: "I'm afraid everyone will have to spend a lot of gold coins just for this medicinal soup. Fortunately, I had foresight and didn't go out directly."
[Tasaday] Area 5: "Just go a short distance and you'll get some shotgun snow water, which you can then exchange for a lot of gold coins. It's a good deal."
【Mi Zhishan】District 5: "It would be a huge loss if we add the cost of the medicine soup, but a group of people are still happy."
These people laughed particularly wildly when talking about this matter. They watched other players working hard every day.
In their eyes, those players need to be responsible for such a large area of hail and snow every day. They have to act very carefully and get hurt if they are not careful. They also have to pay for the gold coins themselves.
It's exactly the same as what the "experts" on Blue Star say about paying to work. Chunchun is just a beast of burden in the territory.
[Matrix] District 5: "Before being fooled on Blue Star, there was no way out. Everyone was shouting to lie down at home and let it go."
[Matrix] District 5: "Okay, okay, you're given the opportunity to lie down and do nothing here, but you're still rushing to work like cattle and horses, paying for gold coins. Oh, I don't even want to say it!"
[Tasaday] District 5: "Maybe this is the root of human nature, it's just that it's cheap."
【Zi Bu Yu】District 9: “I wonder if you guys are sick. Why aren’t you being sarcastic?”
[Duzhou] District 16: "I've been annoyed with them for a long time, but I didn't bother to say anything before."
After all, because of the relationship with the wood, they really wanted to say it, and they also wanted to stay quiet for a while.
Because of the bond of interest, everyone feels that even though they may not like each other, it's okay as long as they can get along peacefully.
[Matrix] District 5: "Are we wrong? You are just paying gold coins. What's the difference between doing your own work and working for others?"
[Matrix] Zone 5: "You can stay in your own nest without any problems. Why do you have to work yourself to death and suffer explosions every day?"
Even if there is a medicine soup to nourish blood, what does it matter? Will there be no pain after the explosion? Will there be no cold outside?
The players in Game Zone 5 all think what they say is very reasonable, and they look at the players in other game zones as if they are fools.
They said they were worthless and even helped others count their money after being cheated.
He looks like a self-righteous man who is clear-headed and understands the world.
[Suspicion] and others were very unhappy when they saw what [Matrix] said.
Especially since these people have been slandering [001 Territory] again and again, making the players in their territory seem to have some ulterior motive.
[Duzhou] District 16: "If you don't want to shovel snow, then don't do it. Who forces you to shovel snow?"
[Cloud Fireworks is Other People] District 6: "Our lord's wife said that the big guys don't need to fool us. It's better to work hard to solve the hidden dangers in advance than to regret it later."
[Suspicion] District 9: "Let them do whatever they want. I want to see what they are going to do in a few days."
She was too lazy to compete with such an idiot. She would only suffer the consequences if she did something wrong.
[Matrix] Area 5: "It's so funny! You are really just waiting to see what you can do to us. The hail is loose and soft. It can explode, but what? It can also blow into the courtyard and kill us all?"
【Mi Zhishan】District 5: "These people just like to worry about things that may happen. Didn't they know about the previous severe hailstorm? They should stay out of the house and it's safe to stay in the courtyard."
[Tasaday] Area 5: "That's right, our shields are at max level, and our courtyards are at max level too. If they can't kill us, it will only make us stronger!"
[Tasaday] Area 5: "By then, neither you nor I will be able to be killed by the explosion. Although you can guarantee that you will receive less damage, how much trouble will we save? How much medicinal soup resources will we save?"
[Mi Zhishan] District 5: “I think with this kind of explosion, you guys consume a lot of medicine soup, food, and props every day.
【Mi Zhishan】District 5: "You don't even save supplies. You always think there's a bigger danger coming. If there really is a bigger danger, would you just use the empty warehouse to deal with it?"
At first glance, their analysis seemed to make sense. Even from their perspective, Shu Lingyi almost felt like a black-hearted capitalist.
[Time Passes] District 9: "Humph, there's no point in talking so much. We'll know the outcome in two days."
[Suspicion] She didn't want to argue too much with such people. At least based on her understanding of this phenomenon as a teacher, shotgun snow was definitely not a good thing.
If we leave it until later, as confident as they are...
Obviously, there was a group of people who had been deceived before. They also thought that hiding in the courtyard could solve everything. It was a pity that the ending was not so good. However, no one cared, so she could only applaud and welcome it.
【弭芷杉】District 5: "What are you pretending to be? Stop making alarmist remarks and even threatening people."
Naturally, the fight ended in a bad mood, but there was nothing much to talk about between the two players, and the other players still had to go out and shovel snow diligently.
From a certain perspective, these players still believe in [skepticism] and respect the scientific knowledge on the Blue Planet. The power of knowledge is always endless.
By the early morning of the 30th, most of the players had already taken the anti-cold pills, finished their torture, and went to bed early without checking the weather forecast.
On the contrary, the players in Area 5 thought that this was nothing serious and acted as if they didn't care at all, so they took the Quhan Pills later.
After the torture, I just felt clear-headed and couldn't fall asleep at all.
A few people were chatting on the public screen in their own game area, muttering about what had happened in the past few days, hoping that by distracting their attention they could fall asleep earlier.
[Matrix] Area 5: "I thought there was nothing to worry about. The weather forecast didn't say anything about the hail explosion. We knew that a long time ago."
[Tasaday] Area 5: "I find it strange too, but you didn't hear any strange noises..."
[Teacher Pan]: "It's the phenomenon of hail exploding. Haven't you heard it before? When the wind blows outside, the hail explodes when it hits each other. But the sound is a little louder today."
The explosion sounded from time to time, coming from far away, intermittently.
However, this damage actually does not have much lethality if it does not go out. So far, these players have only heard the sound, and their own protective shields have not been affected.
【弭芷杉】District 5: "I said nothing happened. I'm a little sleepy and ready to go to bed."
The sleet that had been falling for a few days looked very heavy, and a high layer of snow had piled up in front of their house. These players could go out and shovel some snow every day.
But it only looks tall because of its soft nature, just like a huge cream cake piled with snow peas.
That's why the entire snow pile appears high, not because there is really a lot of sleet.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be only three pots of shotgun water after every round.
The players in Zone 5 said they were not surprised by this and continued to play around while lying on their beds, trying to get sleepy so they could go to bed early.
After all, will the sleet endanger their lives? We don't know yet.
However, if the drug is not taken after the effective period has expired, the player will most likely die.
【岁月致柔】: "Go to bed early, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow and that's it."
After all, many players died from this flu buff. There are many people in their game area, and the flu buff has become more and more abnormal in recent days.
It's like the mild level has been removed, and once you're slightly infected you'll start with a moderate flu buff.
If you miss the Quhan Pills a little while later, your condition will be upgraded to an extremely severe influenza buff in a matter of minutes.
By then, the player may have just woken up, turned his head and started coughing, and then coughed out ice chips from his lungs.
For players who have witnessed such a scene when the flu first appeared, just thinking about it makes them feel scared to death.
Who among you doesn’t want to survive to the end?
Therefore, they are still very cautious about taking Quhan Pills to save lives, and they will take them without hesitation even if the side effects are strong.
[Teacher Pan]: "But did you notice that the explosion seems to be getting louder and louder..."
Others also pricked up their ears and listened outside the window. It seemed to be true. It sounded like the sound of the explosion was getting closer and closer to them?!
However, at this time there was also the howling of a level 5 gale. The cold wind passed by, mixed with the sound of explosions, as if countless dormant ferocious beasts woke up in an instant.
Some people immediately leaned over to the window or poked their heads out of their own doorsteps to take a look.
"This hailstorm has really caused an avalanche—" The next second, before he could even finish his words, he was submerged by the avalanche caused by the excessive accumulation of hailstorm!
Originally, the snow outside could not get into the courtyard, but sleet is very easy to explode on contact, and it set off a huge chain reaction with the wind.
The avalanche turned the explosion into a series of terrorist attacks, which directly damaged his courtyard house to the point of being 99% worn out.
People naturally cannot escape either, they are directly covered in blood and die with their eyes open.
Another light explosion and the courtyard collapsed, and the last message he sent on the public screen was also erased by the system.
When others saw this scene, they immediately started to panic!
[Mi Zhishan]: "What's going on? The shield didn't lose that much health!"
Some people also wanted to take a look, but before they could even go out, they found that their courtyards were directly blown up by the hail and snow, causing the degree of wear and tear to skyrocket!
In fact, the hail and snow inside the territory was not cleared completely, only the area around the house was cleared.
Then those players who are closer to the slope or hillside will easily encounter avalanches and be blown to death inside the territory!
As the chain explosion reaction became more and more violent, [Mi Zhishan] could intuitively see that the health of the protective shield was rapidly decreasing!
"How could it be like this?!"
He probably didn't know that hailstorm, because it was too fluffy, was the most likely to cause avalanches. Even though [Suspicion] had reminded him before, he didn't listen.
Graupel will be compressed after multiple avalanches and will gradually become solid after a few days.
Otherwise, even if it is not a very steep slope, it will cause an avalanche as long as the accumulation reaches a certain height.
The avalanches outside the territory were even more destructive. The explosions sounded one after another, continuously interacting with the cold wind, destroying the health bar of the protective shield.
[Mi Zhishan] was, of course, rushing to repair the shield, watching the number of survivors in his own game area on the public screen constantly jumping and decreasing.
The explosion was followed by hail and snow all around the territory, which spread all the way and surrounded the entire territory.
The total damage is skyrocketing, the affected area is getting wider and wider, the frequency of hail and snow explosions will become higher and higher, and the damage will become more and more fierce!
[Mi Zhishan] was in a state of panic, and had to deal with so many players' cries and requests for help on the public screen. Their messages often disappeared within a few minutes after they were deleted by the system...
The gold coins he had saved were used up little by little until he could no longer repair it.
Some players who have an advantageous geographical location in the territory are also having an hard time.
Their courtyard is located in a plain area, without any hills or slopes around it. If it were connected with several other courtyards, the surrounding hail and snow would be cleared more easily.
Therefore, the power of the sleet explosion would not kill them all at once.
The Siheyuan helped them offset most of the damage in this situation, but the wear and tear was still as high as 60 points at the end, which was terrifying to watch.
Just as they were thinking, as long as it could be repaired, it would definitely be able to hold on!
[Teacher Pan]: "Once the hail and snow have all exploded, it will definitely be safe!"
But at this moment, they received a reminder from the system, telling them that their protective shield had been broken!
[The health of the Yayoi territory's protective shield has been reduced to zero, the lord has died, and the territory has been destroyed. ]
The two pieces of news were even more fatal. Without the protection of the shield, the avalanche outside would be more destructive to the players' courtyard!
Snow peas fell one by one, and once they touched the ground and the avalanche, they exploded with a crackling sound combined with the wind.
This sound filled the spaces of countless players in Game Area 5.
"How could I not be able to bear it? Why would I have gone to shovel snow earlier if I had known!"
"What should I do with my courtyard? What should I do?"
Even the [Tasaday] wanted to buy materials to repair the courtyard house, but when they opened the public trading center, they found that the only place selling materials was [Territory 001].
But he was blocked!
Watching yourself being able to buy these materials but not being able to because you offended someone before, what could be more heartbreaking than this?
If you want to send private messages to those players, the message "You have been blocked" will pop up.
He looked at the words that [Doubt] had said during the day, and regret grew wildly, crawling all over his body.
Intense regret and fear of death emerged, his body twitched, he looked at the black words on the public screen, and then looked at the courtyard that was gradually getting worn out.
He gradually began to smile bitterly, as if he wanted to vent his anger but to whom could he do so?
[Matrix] and [Mi Zhishan] died long ago!
Blame them?!
"I'm stupid!" He roared and greeted his own death.
It was quite quiet in the public screen. Everyone was basically asleep at this time. Other territories seemed to be living in peace.
【岁月致柔】: "That's true. They listened to my advice and shoveled the snow actively. Even if it explodes now, the amount of hail is really small, and it will definitely not be as powerful as ours."
[Teacher Pan]: "If only I could go to their game area 9..."
There was no other way, they could only choose this game area, and there was no way for them to go to other game areas at this time.
The loss of the territory means that the players will no longer have a place to stay, and even if they want to buy medicinal soup, it is too late at this point.
Once the courtyard collapsed, they would have to endure the explosion outside even if they escaped.
In the end, all the players turned into ice chips. You have to know how high the temperature outside was at that time, minus 91°!
Without the protection of a shield, a player with little protective equipment can be killed in minutes.
[The number of survivors in Area 5 has returned to zero.]
Within three to five hours, the gaming area that originally had more than 6,000 people was destroyed in an instant, leaving only the cold electronic sound slowly ringing out.
In other game areas, the explosions of hail and snow also became violent.
But it is obvious that because they insisted on shoveling snow every day in the past few days, there is not much sleet here.
The current situation is far from enough to reach the height that can cause an avalanche, just like the explosion damage is relatively low, and there is no way to achieve large-scale mutual detonation.
Many players in these gaming areas took anti-cold pills before going to bed, and after experiencing the painful side effects, they just couldn't fall asleep.
Once he fell asleep, he slept so deeply that he could not be woken up at all, and there was no time to notice any problems.
[February 30, 3103, 7:32, severe cold, today's lowest temperature is -91°, force 5 gale, strong cold wave is coming, heavy hail and snow, be careful of flammable and explosive things. Cold air is corroding, influenza aggravates the risk of disease, and there are many risks of frost damage.]
When everyone woke up this morning, they discovered that all the player IDs from Zone 5 who had made passionate speeches yesterday had disappeared from the public screen.
【Ziboyu】District 9: "No way, no way, does anyone know what happened?"
[Pudding] Zone 6: "Fuck, the shield's health dropped by 60% last night!"
[Mongolian beast who likes tiger-striped dogs] Area 9: "It's better here. I know 30%. The hail and snow in most places in the game area have been shoveled away by the big guys in Territory 001."
【Xin Jing】District 9: "I have no choice but to use it to strengthen my weapons. I can't have too much. I didn't expect that such a good thing would come to me by chance."
[Luolanyi] District 16: "It's a pity that we don't have that many people. At most, we cleared the territory and the area around it within a radius of 50 miles."
【Lying Bug】District 12: "We are the same. It's not bad. Only 60% of our health is gone. It will be fine if we can repair it."
This is her problem. Tang Xiaoyan is so worried that he keeps urging Tang Min to take people to clean up the hail. Tang Min is a bit lazy, so he takes the players himself.
"I think we can't be careless about this kind of thing. Look, we almost followed in the footsteps of District 5!"
"Okay, okay, uncle, you are right!"
Tang Min is lazy and flexible.
Because the scope of these game areas is not large enough and their strength does not allow it, the hail and snow explosions they suffered were more severe.
The situation in Game Area No. 9 is much better. The entire territory is basically cleaned very cleanly after snow shoveling every day.
Like a swarm of locusts passing through, not a single drop of snow or hail is left behind.
It benefits yourself and the players in the entire gaming area.
[Han Wu]: "Our courtyard has also lost 30 points of wear and tear, and this is assuming there are no hail explosions in the territory. No wonder other areas have lost so much."
【Zi Bu Yu】: "So the people in District 5 died? They didn't shovel snow, so what they encountered must be much more serious than ours."
[Suspicion]: "It's more serious than ours. If they haven't been shoveling snow, I'm afraid it will be blown up in the first few hours."
