Chapter 264 The Great Migration

Chapter 264 The Great Migration

However, pricing that is too exaggerated is not a good idea either.

There are only a few top dignitaries.

If there aren’t enough people who can afford it, it means that most private shelters won’t be able to afford even one treatment spot.

That would defeat the purpose of being open.

“Use the income of an average person in the game for 8 hours as the unit of measurement.”

“The fixed exchange rate is one working day, which is equal to 1 kg of basic food.”

"As the highest level of medical service that extends life by 20 years, the price can be set at one billion working days, or 120 million tons of ordinary supplies."

"For the rest, the prices will be reduced accordingly based on the type and severity of the disease."

"A chain is formed to provide medical services to the rich and powerful at this price. The rich and powerful then use ordinary supplies to purchase game coins from ordinary residents in the shelters where they are."

Su Wu carefully outlined this network of interests that extends from the game.

Carefully check the settings and fill in the gaps.

While allowing game coins to be exchanged for medical services, it is also necessary to allow the use of supplies to exchange for the same services.

The purpose of the latter's existence.

In fact, it serves as an anchor for the value of game currency.

In the official name, it is announced to everyone that a fixed amount of other materials can be converted into game coins for one working day.

At the same time, if supplies are exchanged for medical services, an additional 20% handling fee and transportation will be required.

This highlights the convenience and importance of game currency.

This indirectly encourages wealthy people in need to purchase game coins from ordinary people locally.

“In addition to high-end medical care.”

“You can also sell network services, such as remote maintenance and design guidance, disease diagnosis, computing power support, intelligence trading, etc.”

"We also provide armed rescue and revenge services, and allow the exchange of small valuables and medicines, etc."

"Wait until there is extra capacity later."

"Then we will transport various common supplies, including food, to various parts of Dongzhou to support the value of the game currency."

"In addition, we can negotiate with members of the Southeast Alliance or other large local forces and select agents from them to sell various materials used to recycle game coins on our behalf."

Su Wu listed as many exchange channels as possible.

Follow these methods.

Su Wu was destined to pay a large amount of supplies to go out.

In return, we have gained the largest number of gamers and the longest gaming time in the entire East Continent.

At the same time, it is also an implicit welfare that provides minimum survival security to all vulnerable groups and the lower-class people who have lost their jobs without distinction.

An ordinary person only needs to work in the game for 8 hours to exchange for two kilograms of food.

Perhaps the food exchanged may be unpalatable.

But at least there won't be any problem in maintaining survival.

"That's about it."

The proposed plan is stored in the artificial intelligence's log list to be executed.

Then authorize it and allow it to start preparation.

Su Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

Turn your eyes away.

Switch back to the control background of Eden Satellite.

Network communication is only one of the main functions of Eden Satellite, but not the only one.

Turn on scout mode in the background.

A dynamic image of the earth viewed from space suddenly filled the entire screen.

Among them, the most eye-catching.

It is a huge cyclone with a diameter of at least 2300 kilometers located in the ocean below Dongzhou.

"The sea there doesn't seem to be frozen yet."

His gaze lingered on the cyclone for a moment.

Su Wu vaguely saw the center of the cyclone, and it seemed that lightning appeared occasionally.

Then, with the help of the reconnaissance components on the satellite.

He also discovered that there was intense geological activity deep in the ocean below the cyclone.

Huge amounts of heat are continuously released every moment.

At the same time, the sea there is not calm.

From time to time, huge waves tens or hundreds of meters high appear alternately.

In such a harsh environment.

Even if an aircraft carrier sails in, it will end up sinking.

“Fortunately it happened in an uninhabited area.”

"otherwise."

Su Wu couldn't quite imagine it.

With that kind of geological activity intensity.

Even today's farmyards are unlikely to be able to withstand it.

Not to mention the ordinary shelters.

Once encountered, there is probably no possibility of survival except escaping by helicopter.

Take your eyes away from the cyclone.

Su Wu looked towards the land of Dongzhou.

Compared to the terrifying ocean, the climate on land seems to be much milder.

The clouds covering that area are thick and thin.

In some places, it is almost non-existent.

It allows satellites to directly and clearly see the ice fields on the surface that reflect sunlight.

"There are 117 low-temperature cold fronts in total."

"The snowstorm covered about 7% of the total area."

Su Wu's gaze swept across the crisscrossing cold currents one by one.

Those are the main factors that have brought humanity to its present dire state.

Without them.

Even though the average surface temperature is now close to minus 60 degrees Celsius.

It will not prevent humans from rebuilding their homes on the ground.

"In the future, we will have early warning from the Eden satellite."

"If we are on the surface, we don't have to worry about sudden cold snaps."

"And there was enough time to react."

"Many actions can be a little bolder."

This is good news for Su Wu.

The simplest example.

That is, you can take advantage of the low temperature and cold current to avoid the time.

Use common pre-apocalyptic means of transportation to transport supplies and people on a large scale.

Although the window for action may be short.

Each time they move dozens or hundreds of kilometers, they have to find a temporary place to stay.

But this is not an unsolvable problem.

The journey from Yu'an City to Jianghe City is more than 800 kilometers.

On average, every few dozen kilometers, you will find at least one refuge under Su Wu's control.

Use those shelters as transit nodes.

Su Wu could easily transport supplies from Yu'an City on a large scale.

It was transported across a distance of 800 kilometers to reach the farmyard.

Do it when you think of it.

Su Wu immediately handed over the relevant transportation plan to the artificial intelligence.

Then just half a second later.

A detailed itinerary list appeared in front of Su Wu.

"It will take some time to prepare for converting vehicles and packing supplies."

“The first large-scale transfer operation.”

"Let's choose the time slot starting from 10 hours and 27 minutes later."

Su Wu made the most critical decision he needed to make.

next moment.

Countless instructions began to be centered on the farmyard.

Sent to almost all inhabited satellite shelters.

The so-called large-scale evacuation operation was said to be mainly aimed at transferring supplies and people from the affiliated shelters around Yu'an City.

Actually.

Along the 800 kilometers between the two places.

Every subsidiary shelter needs to be mobilized synchronously.

The population inside will also migrate one after another in a similar period of time.

This is to make room for the large force coming from the surrounding areas of Yu'an City to have enough accommodation along the way.

And this leads to the result.

In the end, a population of more than 4000 million was mobilized by Su Wu's artificial intelligence.

Prepare for the big transfer coming in 10 hours.

Su Wu's Internet.

As a result, all forums and communication platforms began to be filled with related discussions.

That huge heat.

It even covered the discussions of newcomers who had just connected to the Internet with the help of the Eden satellite.

They couldn't help but pay attention to this massive migration operation.

East of Yu'an City, 80 kilometers away.

In a large shelter near the sea.

The shrill ringing of the bell echoed in every corner of the 15 floors of the shelter.

Liu Yu woke up from his sleep in a daze, and didn't have time to sit up.

Then I heard the dormitory door slam and was kicked open roughly.

"Everyone, get up quickly and put on your Bluetooth headphones."

"Ready to work."

The person who kicked the door open shouted a few times.

I saw that everyone in the dormitory had already gotten up.

He didn't urge her any further, just turned around and left.

He was just following the instructions of the artificial intelligence and came over to wake people up.

Just achieve your goal.

The rest has nothing to do with him.

Rubbed his eyes.

Liu Yu put on the headphones on the bedside.

Then his face was stunned.

"Moving at this time?"

But he didn't have time to question.

After a quick wash.

Then he followed the command of the voice coming from the headphones.

Blending into the busy crowd outside the dormitory.

Check the dusty cars in the warehouse, refill them with gasoline, take anti-freeze measures, and install anti-skid chains.

Then dismantle all public equipment and pack it away.

Wait until a series of things are done.

It was more than three hours later.

at this time.

The last task Liu Yu was given was to pack his bed sheets and personal luggage.

Be ready in six or seven hours.

Together with the main force, they left the shelter and headed for the distant Jianghe City.

"Liu Yu, are you leaving?"

Seeing Liu Yu returning to the dormitory, he started to tidy up the sheets.

A roommate who came back earlier than him asked curiously.

"I was chosen to drive a family sedan to Jianghe City."

"Probably won't come back again."

Liu Yu hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly.

Jianghe City is more than 800 kilometers away from here.

With the small size of a family sedan, it can handle the entire journey without any problems.

By the time we get to the location, it will probably be almost scrapped.

There probably won't be a chance to get it back.

"Family sedan."

"Then you're out of luck."

There was some sympathy on my roommate's face.

That kind of delicate car might stall halfway through the journey.

Just imagine crawling under the car to repair it in the severe cold of minus 50 or 60 degrees Celsius outside.

It's a nightmare.

"no way."

"It's not up to me to decide."

Liu Yu looked helpless and didn't want to discuss this matter anymore.

Let's turn to another topic.

"Weren't you chosen?"

"No."

"In our entire dormitory, you're probably the only one who will leave."

"From what is said online, this time it's not just the driver."

“Basically, what we transport are supplies.”

"Most people will have to wait until the fourth or fifth train to start moving with the convoy."

When mentioning this matter, my roommate couldn't help but become a little uneasy.

Liu Yu was just one step ahead.

Sooner or later, those who stayed behind would also have to embark on a journey of more than 800 kilometers to Jianghe City.

By then, no one can be sure what kind of dangers they will encounter along the way.

But migration is such a big deal.

They have no right to decide or refuse.

As long as you want to continue living, your only choice is to obey orders.

"Relax, at least be better than me."

"Wait until the first trip is finished."

"There will definitely be less trouble and danger later."

Noticing his roommate's uneasiness, Liu Yu comforted him in return.

"hope so."

11:20pm.

Had the last dinner.

Liu Yu got into the family car assigned to him.

Along with the convoy.

Slowly drive out of the shelter exit.

Really arrived at the surface of the outside world.

Liu Yu discovered.

Because there is heating in the car.

In terms of physical sensation, there is actually not much difference from staying in a shelter.

Even warmer.

It's just that the ground is a little uneven, which often causes the vehicle to bump up and down.

Maintain an average speed of more than ten kilometers per hour.

We drove smoothly for about two or three kilometers.

at this time.

The sky began to grow darker.

Snowflakes fell one by one, accompanied by a fierce cold wind.

It hit the car window, making a rustling sound.

Liu Yu's vision became blurred.

"It's snowing outside."

Liu Yu frowned and turned on the windshield wipers.

Sweep away the snowflakes hitting the car windows.

The driving attitude is more cautious.

A harsher environment means that vehicles are more likely to break down.

If an accident occurs at this time, it will really cost lives.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly along the way.

The family car driven by Liu Yu had only undergone simple maintenance and cold-proofing measures.

It performed exceptionally well and there were no major problems.

2 pm.

Vehicles departing from other shelters also began to merge with Liu Yu's convoy.

More vehicles gathered together, making the road seem more lively.

Occasionally, you can see spider robots carrying electromagnetic rifles or rocket launchers.

Patrolling the roadside.

This made Liu Yu feel more secure.

5:30 am.

Liu Yu felt a little tired after driving all night.

at this time.

He also discovered that the originally huge convoy had shrunk a lot without him noticing.

Many vehicles drove into the fork.

Soon, under the instructions of artificial intelligence, he drove off the main drive and entered a remote shelter.

"Please take your belongings with you."

"Get off and go to bus A078 to rest."

"This time, we expect to have a rest period of 12 hours and 07 minutes."

"The original driver will be replaced by a follow-up person."

Stop in the shelter.

Liu Yu soon received a new prompt.

This time, he was told that he could rest and was guided to a bus with a bed.

At the same time, people from the local shelter brought him a portion of freshly prepared, hot food.

All arrangements were seamless.

All of Liu Yu's needs were taken into consideration.

"This migration doesn't seem to be as difficult as I imagined."

Eating a breakfast that was more hearty and delicious than the one I had in the previous shelter.

Liu Yu suddenly realized that this large-scale migration involving tens of millions of people might be much simpler and safer than traveling alone.
