The cold winter is over!
The Snow Peak Rock Climbing event has ended and the rewards have been distributed. All survivors on the list, please go to the tree house screen to claim your rewards.
Finally, a reminder: although the cold winter is over, the blizzard will not stop tonight and the accumulated snow will still cause many impacts.
Survivors struggling in the severe cold, if you can survive this night, you will usher in a new life!
The mysterious voice was very brief and that was it.
Hearing the last words of the mysterious voice, Xu Xin couldn't help but sneer.
New life
It seems to say this every time.
But each time, it is more dangerous than the previous one.
Although it was true that the first phase was a mandatory activity, as long as we returned to the tree house, we could basically guarantee safety. We could even have a few days of completely safe rest after each activity.
But now, in this second phase of winter, even the tree house can no longer fully protect everyone's safety.
Of course, their tree house in Area 188 is still safe, after all, everyone’s defense equipment is relatively complete.
Xu Xin swiped his watch and clicked on the ranking of Xuefeng rock climbing activities.
The number of people on the leaderboard is fixed at 102.
In addition to the 90 people who activated the 30 large formations, there were 12 survivors who climbed the snow peak alone but were unable to activate the formations in the end.
But they can all receive rewards.
Xu Xin's name ranks first, in the most prominent position.
He directly clicked on the reward button behind his name.
Obtain reward: Tree house upgrade and enhancement.
The tree house will undergo a 12-hour growth enhancement, during which the tree house's protective ability will be slightly reduced.
After 12 hours, the tree house will gain a new ability: constant temperature
Constant temperature: The thermal insulation capacity of the tree house walls will be greatly enhanced, greatly reducing the impact of ambient temperature on the temperature inside the tree house. Even in extreme weather, the temperature inside the tree house can be stably maintained with minimal consumption.
The tree house with constant temperature capability is warm in winter and cool in summer, and will become your most comfortable home!
Is the temperature constant
Xu Xin's eyes lit up slightly.
This reward is great!
To be honest, before today, Xu Xin would have felt that this ability was a bit useless.
After all, he had a fireplace in the tree house to keep out the cold, and the saltpeter provided by Li Wenxi allowed him to enjoy coolness in the summer, so it didn't matter whether the temperature was constant or not.
But thinking about the experiences of people in other areas today, those tree houses that are about to be buried in the snow will be useless even if they have tree house fireplaces, as the temperature inside the tree houses has still dropped to a very low temperature.
Some people in the outer areas didn’t even have ski clothes and were completely unable to withstand the low temperatures. Many people had already frozen to death in their tree houses!
With this constant temperature capability, he won’t have to worry about temperature issues anymore!
good.
If such extreme weather occurs again in the future, his tree house will not be afraid!
At this time, the world channel began to fall into chaos again.
"It's over! It's over! The cold winter season is finally over!"
"It's over? How can it be over? There's still one more night!"
"No... Why? Why doesn't the blizzard stop tonight even though the winter is over?"
"This is crazy, this tree house is really going to be buried..."
"I'm going to freeze to death, I'm really going to freeze to death!"
"Why didn't this cold winter end before it snowed? Maybe we wouldn't have to face this blizzard! This is even heavier than yesterday's snow!"
"You wouldn't do that, would you? It's just one night. Even if most of the tree house is cold, it shouldn't be too cold near the fire, right? Can't you sleep by the fireplace?"
"I've moved the bed next to the fireplace, but it's still cold next to the fireplace! This fireplace is like a fake one!"
"At least it works... At least it's not like other places, it's even frozen... The water I put in the kitchen for drinking has frozen..."
"But... by the fireplace... it's probably getting close to freezing, right?"
"Don't you have a snow lichen? The one you exchanged in the points mall, the one that can withstand temperatures as low as -15 degrees Celsius, don't you have one?"
"Hey, I have it. I have a snow coat and I sleep in it. I lie on the bed and laugh while watching them weep."
"I can't buy it because I don't have enough points! I cried... This cold winter didn't give us any chance to increase our points!"
"Everyone, don't sleep tonight, really don't sleep! You'd better get up and move around, otherwise, you really may not be able to get up tonight! This is the temperature now, but the blizzard is still going on! The temperature will only get lower and lower!"
"Yeah! The blizzard is going to continue all night long!"
"It's over, it's all over..."
"I want to build a fire on the tree house floor..."
"Are you crazy? Do you want the tree house to be set on fire?"
"I started a fire on the workbench, but it was useless because you couldn't feel the heat unless you were very close to the flames... They really wanted us to freeze to death!"
"It's over... My fingers are numb..."
"Boss...! Bosses from District 188! Bosses from District 1 and District 23! Help us! We don't want to freeze to death!"
"Oh my god, it's only been a few minutes and the snow outside has already risen a lot!"
"Brothers and sisters, as long as we can survive this night, we will be able to embrace a new life! Everyone, put on more clothes and get moving!"
The world channel is now basically filled with complaints and suggestions from survivors in areas where Blizzard has not stopped.
There are actually a lot of these survivors.
Although there are 30 large formations activated now, you should know that only the first ten large formations activated will have rewards.
In other words, only the areas where the first ten large formations are activated can be spared from tonight's blizzard.
But... ten large formations do not mean there are ten areas.
Because, among the top ten, District 188, District 1, and District 23 each have two seats!
Their three regions account for six places, and the remaining four places are divided among several other regions.
That is to say, among the nearly 150 remaining areas, only seven areas were spared from the blizzard that buried the tree house tonight!
Naturally, the world channel was filled with these people crying and shouting.
Help them
There are ways to help.
Snow cloaks are not restricted items, one piece costs 100 points and may help them get through the night.
But with the points Xu Xin has now, even if he uses them all up, he won’t be able to help a few hundred people.
And there are a total of 50,000 to 60,000 of them who are crying out for food.
… Forget it, let them rely on themselves.
His points didn't come from luck, so instead of helping just a few people, he would rather keep them for himself and for District 188.
He is not a saint who helps everyone.
There are more than 3,000 people in District 188 now, and he is a little overwhelmed to help them all.
As for other areas, it depends on their own luck.
At this time, Li Wenxi called via video.
She was already sitting on the sofa in her tree house, showing off her long white legs and dressed in casual clothes.
It is in stark contrast to those people in the world channel.
"Hey, Xu Xin, did you see that? People in other areas are all complaining about the cold! Should we help them? If this goes on, a lot of them will die tonight, right? Those people may become members of our District 188 in the future." Li Wenxi took a bite of the apple and said casually.
Judging from her casual look, it was obvious that she was just casually sighing about this matter.
"Then how do you want to help?" Xu Xin held Mimihuhudi Coco in his arms, rubbing its big tail and asked, "I can't afford to support several people."
"Snow lichen? Not really." Li Wenxi took another bite of the apple. The crisp sound made Coco's ears move twice, and then she raised her little head.
"Bing!"
"Then... it seems there is no other way to help them, right?" Xu Xin stuffed a blue-level apple into Coco's mouth, and it immediately started to eat it.
"Hmm..." Li Wenxi swallowed the apple in his mouth and said with certainty, "I think coal should be able to help them!"
"Coal?" Xu Xin was slightly stunned.
"Yeah, think about it, my furnace burns coal and wood, the efficiency is different, right? Then the heating of the fireplace should be different, right? And," Li Wenxi threw away the apple core in his hand, leaned close to the camera and said, "recently, your fireplace is burning coal, right?"
"That's right." Xu Xin nodded.
He had plenty of coal and could use it as he pleased.
"That's right, my tree house is fueled by wood." Li Wenxi clapped his hands, "The temperature in my tree house is obviously a few degrees lower than yours! I feel like my tree house is around 17 or 18 degrees, while yours is probably around 24 or 25 degrees!"
"Such a big temperature difference?" Xu Xin was a little surprised.
Li Wenxi had been the one coming here during this period, and he had never been there, so naturally he didn't know about this.
"Yes, I just discovered it when I was sleeping by myself last night! At that time, I took off the tree house to make it more comfortable to sleep in." Li Wenxi lay on the sofa, "In addition to the influence of Xiao Keke, there is also the factor of temperature!"
"Isn't it because you slept with me?" Xu Xin said with a smile.
"Hehe, that's also the reason." Li Wenxi turned over and faced the sofa. "So, I think if we give them coal, maybe it can help them. Ah, of course, it depends on your opinion. I don't care. I'm just making a suggestion. They don't have anything we want. If we really want to help, it's basically charity."
Coal
Maybe... it's actually possible
A piece of green-grade coal burns for half an hour.
To cover the entire night, each person will need at least twenty or more coals.
In total, there are more than 50,000 people who are starving.
…too many.
Can't help.
However, if it is just to keep them warm when they are about to freeze to death, giving each of them one or two pieces of money would not be a big problem.
After all, Xu Xin let his beloved concubine mine for just over ten minutes and obtained tens of thousands of pieces of coal.
Can you help
In fact, if possible, he didn't want too many survivors to die.
He always felt that every survivor now might be a force in the future.
If one person dies, we will have less strength in the future.
As long as it doesn't affect yourself, it's okay to help a little.
"How much coal did you mine here this afternoon?" Xu Xin asked.
"It's not much, maybe 130,000 or 140,000 yuan?" Li Wenxi said after thinking for a while.
…Isn’t that a lot
Hearing this number, he almost thought that Li Wenxi had mined all the coal mines here!
However, when you think about it, this amount of mining is indeed not much compared to the reserves of a coal mine.
After all, a coal mine can easily have reserves of hundreds of millions of tons.
On Earth, the largest coal mine in his country has reserves of hundreds of billions of tons!
A unit of coal is not large, weighing no more than half a pound.
It costs about 130,000 or 140,000 yuan and weighs about dozens of tons.
It sounds like a lot, but compared to the total reserves, it is just a small fraction of the total reserves.
Just sprinkle some water.
Come to think of it, they have produced so much steel, and the amount of coal they have consumed as the raw material for steelmaking is countless, but the mines are getting bigger and bigger.
Their coal resources are still very rich.
This coal mine can basically meet all their future needs for coal.
It’s not impossible to send some warmth to people from other districts.
"Why, do you really want to help?" Li Wenxi sat up from the sofa. "If you really want help, I can gather some people now and we can all go and dig coal together!"
"Have you changed from a miner's leader to a coal boss?" Xu Xin teased.
"What do you care about me?" Li Wenxi made a face at him and continued, "Although it's dark now, it's only a little after four o'clock. Our mine is a bit far from the tree house, several kilometers away. I came back early because I was afraid something might happen at night. But your coal mine over there doesn't matter. It's only a few hundred meters away from your tree house anyway."
Indeed, there is no need to worry about safety issues here.
"Then come on. Even if you don't help, we still need the coal ourselves." Xu Xin nodded.
"Okay, then I'll go call them! By the way, do you want the coal I have in my hand?" Li Wenxi turned the camera to his backpack.
"No, I still have a lot in my hand. I'll release some first and see the effect."
"Oh ok!"
After hanging up the video, Xu Xin first released one thousand pieces of coal to the world trading platform. The price was the same as the amount of green-level basic resources. At the same time, he opened the explorer group.
In the group, everyone was discussing another matter.
Ji Chaoyang: "Everyone, have you thought about how we should treat District 1?"
Wang Lei: "Shouldn't we be completely our own people?"
Qin Yunlong: "It's definitely not possible to treat District 188 the same way, right? However, it should be possible to give them supplies at a lower price than other areas."
Wen Guixin: "I thought so too. I had a good chat with the guy ranked fifth in Area 1."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Then give them the first-level resources. Just make sure they are weaker than us, so that we won't be backstabbed in the future. By the way, I had a good chat with their third-ranked guy."
Xu Xin: "There is still no news about Shi Wanyun."
Ji Chaoyang: "Then let's take a long-term view. My prediction this time does not contain any useful information. It is just a simple bare jungle scene, which should be the scene tomorrow. Tomorrow, there may be no danger."
Xu Xin raised his eyebrows slightly.
Similar to the first phase… a day of rest after the event
It would be nice if that were true.
"Oh, right."
He told the other explorers about his idea.
Others spoke up immediately.
Ji Chaoyang: "If your coal reserves are sufficient, I agree."
His thoughts should be similar to Xu Xin's.
Wen Guixin: "You are such a good person, Xu Xin. What does their life or death have to do with us? Why do you want Wen Xi to dig coal for them?"
Li Wenxi: "Oh, it's okay. This coal pit is easy to dig, and I was the one who came up with this idea."
Wen Guixin: "Is that so? Since both of you parties said so, I have no objection."
She actually still didn't quite understand it, but she didn't stop it.
Qin Yunlong: "I think we can save them. We are all survivors. Now we have all formed an alliance with District 1. Maybe... we can all be together in the future? I can also bring people to help with mining."
Qi Xuefei: "If it's not too much trouble, then help them. It would be best if we can become partners in the future. Even if we become enemies in the future, they can't cause any harm to us, right?"
Everyone reached a consensus.
That is, please help first.
Nowadays, no one cares much about regional confrontation. After all, they are too strong.
"Okay, I understand."
Xu Xin put down his watch.
At this moment, the sound of the portal exit condensing came from outside the tree house.
Lou Feier and the other two are back.
"How's it going, Boss? We did a good job, didn't we?" Zeng Tao looked up with some pride when she saw Xu Xin peeking out of the window, "We are the terminator of the cold winter!"
"Okay, Xiao Taozi, stop showing off. Why are you so proud of taking a shortcut?" Lou Feier poured cold water on him.
"What did you say!"
The two girls started quarreling again, while Jin Yue quietly returned to her tree house.
Xu Xin took a look at the world channel.
"Brothers! The new coal that Boss Xu Xin has put on the shelf can keep the temperature of the tree house above 10 degrees!"
“Is this true?!”
"Damn, they were all snatched away!"
"Smart people will grab it the moment it's put on the shelves. No matter what it is, just grab it!"
"Boss, Boss Xu Xin, please give me some coal! I'm freezing to death!"
Sure enough, coal can barely provide heating.
At this time, the portal vibrated and Li Wenxi came with the mining team.
She looked up and winked at Xu Xin, then led the mining team to dig coal.
Xu Xin smiled and posted the remaining coal in his hand on the world trading platform, limiting it to three pieces per person, with a note to use it when the cold became unbearable. Then he swung down from the tree house to go dig coal with Li Wenxi.
In two hours, Xu Xin listed nearly 200,000 pieces of coal on the world trading platform.
The entire world channel is filled with praise and admiration for Xu Xin and explorers.
"Is this enough?" Li Wenxi glanced at the time and immediately waved his hand, "It's time to get off work, everyone. Go home and have a rest!"
"Great!" Everyone cheered and then dispersed.
Their faces were dirty, but they were full of smiles.
After all, they also know what is happening around the world and how happy they are now.
"We mined over a million pieces of coal in total, and distributed 200,000 pieces. The remaining pieces are enough for us to use for a long time." Li Wenxi smiled, "The mining efficiency of this coal is much higher than that of iron ore."
"But it's been used in too many places. Let's go back. Your face is all dusty." Xu Xin gently wiped her face with his hand, but his hands were not clean either, leaving a fingerprint on her face.
"As if you are clean!" Li Wenxi touched his face with her dirty hands, then looked at his dirty face and burst out laughing.
She did not return to her own tree house, but went back to Xu Xin's tree house with him.
Then they both went into the bathroom together.
Couple bath.
After bathing, Li Wenxi lay on the bed with a rosy face, her red lips slightly parted, breathing softly.
“… You bastard, why don’t you get on the bed first…” She gently kicked Xu Xin who was lying beside him and sliding his watch.
“Hmm…” Coco turned over at the head of the bed, with her big tail hanging down by the side, and continued to sleep.
"The water temperature of your shower is too high. I feel so hot." Xu Xin said with a smile. At the same time, he erased the projection of his watch and lay down on the bed.
Most of the things are solved.
Even Shi Wanyun still hasn't replied.
Forget it. If there is anything, let’s talk about it tomorrow.
He has done everything he should do. I hope not too many of these people will die.
