February 28th, Year Two of the Wasteland Calendar, the last day of February.
In China on earth, it is now approaching March, the season when spring flowers are blooming.
But in the new wasteland, it is the time of winter.
Starting around midnight, the first light snowfall of the year began to fall in the New World.
The cold raindrops sometimes turned into solid snowflakes, and the snowflakes inadvertently turned into falling raindrops. The two combined and began to wash the wasteland.
Here, the snow is loose, pure, without any pollution.
The genius was bright, and when he opened the door, he could see that the ground had been covered with a thin quilt.
The woods were also tinged with white, and the trees seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of cotton wool.
"Fortunately, the expedition team set off yesterday, otherwise today would definitely be more difficult."
Early in the morning, after taking Su Chan to sweep the snow at the entrance of the underground city, Su Mo squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.
It was really quiet and peaceful.
In the village, the smoke from cooking slowly rises, and a little heat evaporates, forming a misty mist.
There are no high-rise buildings and no industrial pollution, and the occasional transport vehicles also use the cleanest energy.
There are row houses, courtyards, and small villages scattered everywhere.
The prosperous residents are diligently clearing the snow and pushing it into the alchemy furnace to burn it to form energy.
Some young people were even playing in the snow.
Like a painting by a master, the overall look is as beautiful as a paradise.
"Ouch."
Winter is coming again, and the blood in Oreo is also revealed.
The more flowing hair is combined with the snowflake logo in the middle of the eyebrows. At a level that no one can see, a mysterious and mysterious power slowly wraps around the entire territory after echoing the wonders of the building.
Being in it, even if the temperature has dropped to minus fifteen degrees, everyone can only feel the feeling of close to zero.
It’s truly amazing!
"Today is really a good day to have a hot pot. It's best to have an open-air hot pot. You can cook the mutton while enjoying the snowy scenery. Well, it's a pity that the farm hasn't moved yet." Su Chan's face was still full of spring breeze when she said it, and her voice from the back But it kept shrinking and stuck out his tongue naughtily.
Thanks to recent deals with allies, there is no shortage of meat in the territory.
The kind of plant meat synthesized by machines is rich in protein, which can supplement the daily needs of the human body, and its appearance can almost look like the real thing.
Of course, the stuffing will definitely be exposed when it enters your mouth.
The machines that synthesize plant-based meat do not pursue taste. In other words, the machines in the hands of people like Hunting Tiger and Aldrich have not reached the stage of pursuing taste. The plant-based meat produced looks like it has been cooked in boiling water. Chicken breast, dry and woody.
Even though the cooks in the territory have made three improvements and mixed it with synthetic fat, the taste still tastes weird and not as good as the kind of machine-made synthetic meat sold in supermarkets.
If you use this kind of meat to cook hot pot, you will really waste the hot pot base.
but
"Haha, you're right, today is a good day to make hot pot." Sumo nodded with a smile, turned around and gently wiped the street sign at the entrance of the dungeon with his hand.
The system panel slowly expanded and automatically entered the February challenge task panel.
After a month of development, two challenge tasks have been completed, and no new tasks have been released yet.
And in the regular tasks column.
[Recruit troops and recharge your batteries (completed)]
[Task requirements: Recruit at least one thousand humans (Earth) to join the territory, and increase the average health of the territory’s residents to 40+]
[Task reward: five tons of meat (two tons of beef, two tons of mutton, one ton of fish)]
[Medium Difficulty Mission]
[Enclosure is king, infrastructure construction (not completed; progress: 97.56%)]
[Task requirements: Expand the territory area by at least 10%, and add at least new infrastructure that can support 5,000 people. 】
[Task reward: Technology survival points*2000; primary item upgrade coupon*1; version progress 0.5%]
[Highly difficult task]
[Furnish war with war and strengthen your troops (completed)]
[Task requirements: Participate in a war involving at least ten thousand people, and contribute military exploits as the main force in the war. 】
[Task reward: item survival points*5000; primary complete production line optional*1; version progress 5%]
Except for the construction task, which is still far behind schedule, the other two tasks have been completed.
Among them, recruiting troops requires one thousand players to join the territory.
Sumo originally thought that all these people needed to be present, but it turned out that when the number of Baolei's escorts exceeded one thousand, the task was prompted to be completed. It seems that it does not require all of them to enter the territory in the true sense. number.
The same rule applies to fighting to support fighting. After the battle in the giant tree root sea area was completed, it was completed.
What a surprise.
"Complete the mission and receive the rewards for the recruitment mission!"
A green light flashed, and the first daily task lit up at first, and then showed dim gray completion.
However, the reward did not appear as before, as if it was stuck.
Huh? Wasn't it issued directly?
It was my first time to complete the basic challenge mission, and I was still a little confused looking at the empty Soma Earth.
But immediately, lines of information floated up from the system panel.
[The challenge mission is completed, in order to avoid increasing the threat level, the host is asked to choose the method of receiving it]
[Method 1: Receive it immediately, and the reward will appear immediately out of thin air. (The threat level is expected to increase by 0.12%)]
[Method 2: Receive by matching, the rewards will appear in a more reasonable way and be distributed to the matching location (the threat level is expected to increase by 0.01%)]
[Method 3: Unlocked (unlocked after completing ten monthly challenge tasks)]
"Sure enough, it's a new version. This hint is interesting!"
Su Mo was suddenly surprised and a little emotional at the same time.
No wonder the threat level increased so quickly before, the system didn't give this option at all.
Every time you receive a reward, it is the most violent way. It is distributed directly. It would be strange if the game responsible for supervision is not confused.
Now, although the methods are still very violent, there is finally a fig leaf on the outside.
"Choose method two."
[Detecting matching locations]
[Detection successful! 】
[The reward has been distributed, please go to the meat production place - the farm warehouse to claim it! 】
"It really is"
Seeing the floating reminder, Sumo suddenly showed a dumbfounded expression on his face.
It seems that this method is not only available after the system is updated, but also a necessary part of territorial development.
If a breeding farm is not built, this option will naturally not be available.
Just like receiving production line rewards, you must have a factory, otherwise it will be no different from direct distribution.
"Let's go, let's go to your farm today and let me see the recent progress of you, the factory director."
"What are you doing?" Su Chan pursed her lips: "It's not like you don't know that I have no output at all."
"That's not necessarily the case."
With a pretentious smile, the two of them walked to the breeding farm one after another, joking.
Many villagers passed by along the way and couldn't help but show respect.
But there are also some brave young men who rush forward with a smile to see if they can get any tasks assigned by the lord alone.
"Go away, go away, I'm resting now, don't bother me."
"If you want to find a job, go to the logistics department."
Sumo laughed and cursed, then quickly walked away from the crowd.
The longer he sat in the position of lord, the more he felt a responsibility equal to unlimited power, which was also unlimited.
A successful lord, in addition to being able to promote the normal development of large and small development affairs in the territory, must also take into account the direction of war, the harmonious relationship with allies, and the survival choices under the general trend.
and the care and concern of the residents.
Not only must he be responsible for the food and clothing of his people, but also for their food and clothing.
Even their jobs, marriages, personal development, route choices, etc. are taken into consideration.
This is so tiring!
"Number Zero, those who came up to talk just now, all sent a message to Chen and Dean Qiao, asking him to be a candidate for the first phase of the test."
"Are you so cruel?" the little square monster screamed. Since fusing the real eye, it has become obviously smarter than before.
"You're cruel, don't they want to make progress? Joining the test program is the best choice."
After squeezing the little guy, Sumo threw it to Oreo who was following him.
"Woo"
Oreo took advantage of the situation, but Zero slyly spread his wings and hid aside, making a taunting sound.
This time, Oreo's competitive spirit was suddenly aroused, and he began to have fun in the snow.
Seeing this, Su Chan also joined the ranks of helping Oreo.
It's a pity that No. 0 was too fast now. When the gate of the breeding farm appeared not far away, one person and one dog still failed to catch the 'cunning' No. 0.
"Eh? Factory director? Lord?"
"Why are you here today?"
The three workers who were still fishing and playing cards in the ranch raised their heads when they heard the noise, and couldn't help but feel shocked.
The leader, Lao Dai, quickly stood up, winked at the back and whispered.
The other two people were in a panic and wanted to put away the playing cards, but were interrupted by Su Chan's wave of angrily.
"Okay, okay, don't worry."
"Although it is working time now, you are not allowed to rest when the farm is not busy."
"Thank you, director."
Hearing what Su Chan said, the three of them felt a little relieved.
They couldn't tell that it was the factory director who was protecting them. Otherwise, if they let the lord speak, they would probably suffer today.
"How have those lizards been doing in the past two days?"
Sumo looked through the fence gate and saw several coolie lizards lying under the shack to hide from the snow.
Lizards are typical cold-blooded animals, and their body temperature changes with changes in the temperature of the surrounding environment.
Generally in winter, they basically enter a state of hibernation.
However, these coolie lizards seem to have broken away from the category of reptiles, and their genes have mutated.
So now I am not greatly affected, it seems I just don’t want to be active.
"Back to the lord, these lizards can eat and drink every day, and there is basically no change in their condition."
"But two of them have died in Researcher Catalina's laboratory."
The workers who escaped from the Great Rift Valley base were a little timid when it came to the dead lizards.
He was afraid that Soma would blame them.
But I never thought that Su Mo just smiled lightly and said without caring:
"It doesn't matter, let her study it."
If we care about these, it will be impossible for humans to study the secrets of the human body and extend surgical operations.
But now that more complex genetic mutations are involved, more in vivo research is needed.
Not to mention two dead, even if they are all dead.
Somo is also willing to send people to the dwarf territory and find a way to rob a group of them back.
"Where's the warehouse? Take us to the warehouse of the breeding farm to have a look."
"OK."
The leader, Lao Dai, didn't know why, but he still led the way honestly.
Cross the snowy path on the pasture and come to the red house on the farm.
The warehouse of the breeding farm was built under the self-service feeding machine that Sumo saw before.
Through the conveying device, the feed placed in the warehouse can be automatically conveyed up.
And by pushing open the door next to it, you can also go all the way down through the steps.
"Ah? When did this come out?"
At the end of the stairs, Lao Dai pressed the light switch and couldn't help but froze.
The warehouse of the breeding farm was originally a morgue used by the hospital to store corpses, and the space was quite large.
But because no patients died later, it was never used from the time it was built to the time it was abandoned.
It is about two meters high and covers an area of two hundred square meters.
In such a large space, the feed in the usual breeding farm can only be piled up to one-third at most.
But now, several large groups of unknown materials tied with tarps suddenly appeared in the corner.
"open to take a look."
Su Mo gave instructions in a concise and concise manner. Lao Dai did not dare to neglect and quickly led the other two people forward to untie the rope.
As the upper tarpaulin gradually peels off, the supplies are revealed underneath.
Not only did the three of them widen their eyes, showing expressions of disbelief.
Even Su Chan, who had been prepared for a long time, opened her mouth slightly and turned it into a big 'O'.
"Our breeding farm is developing very well. This is a reward issued by the game."
Skillfully telling lies with open eyes and pushing the system's capabilities onto the game, Somo's face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat.
"real or fake?"
"Of course it's true, otherwise where can your brother and I get these beef, mutton, and fish?" Sumo replied matter-of-factly, changing the topic: "I thought you knew, that you would say you want to make hot pot !”
"Great, I know my hard work was not in vain!"
Su Chan couldn't help laughing, and waved her fist in the air.
Regardless of whether Sumo was telling the truth or a lie, it was such a great feeling of accomplishment to hear someone so positive about the results of his hard work.
He quickly directed three workers to move five tons of meat to the ground, and notified the canteen in the village.
When he heard that the farm could actually supply a batch of real meat today, Hope Village suddenly burst into cheers.
"That's great. It would be great if I could feel this good every day."
In the afternoon, as the snow increased, hot pot tents were set up in the square at the entrance of the village.
Sitting in the middle, Su Chan boiled a piece of mutton and put it in her mouth. She suddenly closed her eyes in happiness.
On the side, Sumo smiled and said nothing, his eyes falling on the third monthly task reward.
Five thousand item survival points are very strong, at least the purchasing power of 20,000 points before the update.
The 5% version progress is also gratifying, and you can upgrade to the next version as soon as possible.
But what caught Sumo's attention the most was the 'junior complete production line option'.
primary
Is the transport aircraft production line considered elementary?
