Chapter 256 Resistance
After forming the team, everyone drove out of the shelter.
At first glance, the line was very long. A rough calculation showed that there were about 200 people going out, and players accounted for two-thirds of them.
As for the larger number of indigenous people, most of them stayed in the shelter.
Don’t think that they have nothing to do if they don’t go out to look for supplies. In fact, they have a lot of work to do!
The natives not only had to clear the snow inside the prison, fix the outer walls, and reinforce the rooms, but they also had to tidy up the Black Tower, move out all unused items, and try to expand the space of the Black Tower.
As for how to strengthen the defense of the shelter, Jian Yiqiu came up with an idea.
Since the more people there are, the easier it is to attract snow beasts, then the shelter is undoubtedly a big cake.
After learning about the level 4 snow beast and the snow beast tide described by Xiao Jin, Jian Yiqiu thought that the original outer wall of the prison was still a bit thin and had to be reinforced.
Reinforcing the walls requires a lot of bricks, stones and cement, and the cold weather makes construction difficult.
After much thought, Jian Yiqiu decided to take advantage of the heavy snow outside and build an ice wall on the outer wall of the prison.
The method is also very simple. Pour water on the wall over and over again. Depending on the temperature outside, the water will quickly freeze.
If you repeat this cycle over and over again, you can make a wall of any thickness you want, but it is a waste of time and effort.
The water problem is easy to solve. Just clear out so much snow and it will melt and turn into water!
After all, it's not something to drink, so it doesn't matter whether it's clean or not. What the shelter lacks the least right now is people!
Yesterday, Xiao Jin and Cheng Ce brought back more than a thousand people, and there were still quite a few left after excluding the elderly and children.
At first, most of the survivors were unhappy when they heard that they were going to be asked to go out to work. They shouted that they were being exploited and that this was breaking the law.
"It's so cold outside, I'm not going out! Whoever wants to go can go, but I'm not going."
"Exactly. Who do you think you are? The government will save us sooner or later. Don't think you can catch rats just because you have a gun!"
There are many people who say these words, and even if they don’t say them, it is difficult to hide their resentment in their hearts.
Who would have thought that Shao Jing's next sentence would leave everyone dumbfounded!
"Ha~" he sneered.
"It's okay for those who don't want to go. The food in the shelter is only provided to the residents. You can go to the government you trust. Xiao Liu!"
Shao Jing shouted, and then a man came forward.
"You count the people who need to work and send the rest out. Our shelter is not a welfare home. There's no reason to use everyone's supplies to feed a bunch of parasites.
Oh, that's right." Shao Jing laughed evilly: "We also took back the down jackets, snow boots and other things we sent out before. Everyone has left, and the things that belong to the shelter must be left behind."
"Yes!" Xiao Liu shouted very loudly, and then came over with a notebook and a pen.
Seeing this, everyone panicked.
It's so hard to find a place to stay. Who would want to go out and suffer from hunger, cold, and fear?
Moreover, many people fled in a hurry and carried basically nothing with them except their mobile phones and wallets, and they were also wearing thin summer clothes.
If Shao Jing really wanted to take back their winter clothes, they would not be able to walk far before they would be frozen to death.
When those who opposed it at the beginning heard what Shao Jing said, they became so angry that their faces turned blue. Of course, some of them were also scared.
"You...you can't do this!" One of the older middle-aged women said with resentment on her face.
"Why should you leave the shelter if you don't work? This is not your home. The Third Prison has always belonged to the state."
"Then call the police!" Shao Jing waved his hand, signaling the middle-aged woman to do as she pleased.
The other party was speechless for a moment.
Damn it, call the police! If I could get in touch with the police, why would I have to run all the way here to hide?
Then someone else said, “You are too overbearing. If you don’t work, you will be driven away. Not only that, you will also take off your clothes.
It's so cold outside, and there are monsters everywhere. You are deliberately trying to get everyone killed."
"So you deserve to enjoy it without having to pay anything?" Shao Jing's face turned stern and he retorted immediately.
“Did you see those people who just left? You’ve all seen the monsters outside with your own eyes. It’s unclear how many of them will come back after they leave.
Who is not afraid of cold, who is not afraid of death, but no one can survive without supplies, but they still went." Shao Jing had a cold face, and everyone was afraid to confront him.
"How about this!" Shao Jing pointed outside: "I'll call the people back, and you guys will go find supplies. If anyone dares to go, they don't have to leave the shelter.
I can also guarantee that you will have meat, eggs and fruit for every meal."
The person who was making noise just now suddenly fell silent, fearing that Shao Jing would get carried away and really ask him to go out and collect supplies.
To put it bluntly, rather than going out and being eaten by monsters, they would rather work in the shelter.
Of course, where there are shameless people, there are also clear-headed people.
At this time, a man suddenly stood up from the crowd and said, "They are right. No one has any reason to accommodate us. We are all in the same boat. The better the shelter, the safer we will be.
Hello, I am a veteran. Can I join our patrol team and help clear the monsters around the island? "
"And me, I'm the cook, I can help with the cooking."
"I studied computer science, and although I can't use it right now, I can help clear the snow."
"And me, and me..."
At one time, countless people stood up and their voices rose one after another.
Shao Jing's eyes warmed up, and he pressed his hand down: "Don't worry, everyone has a chance, and the cafeteria will also prepare ginger soup. It's up to us to protect the shelter together!"
In the next two days, Xiao Jin kept shuttling around various places in the city center and visited all the supply points provided by Jian Yiqiu.
Occasionally they came across some small supplies along the way, and Xiao Jin didn't mind taking them too little, so he took away everything he could.
After two days, not only Xiao Jin, but also the others gained a lot.
A group of people rushed to the city in a hurry. After searching in the east, they continued to search in the west. The key is that they will never return empty-handed.
Every time I go back, I always fill my car up. Sometimes, when it’s overloaded and I can’t leave, I’ll find another truck.
So not only were the supplies increasing in the shelter, but there were almost no more trucks, and some were parked directly outside the shelter gate.
Of course, there is one problem that cannot be avoided, and that is the casualties among the team members.
People who often go to the city center have found that the number of snow beasts has been increasing, and high-level snow beasts are appearing more and more frequently.
At first everyone could still cope, but later even the players found it difficult!
