Chapter 1086: February of the Second Year, Mission Refreshed!

After eating a "ton" of complete midnight snack, Catalina gained weight visibly.

However, according to what she said, the digestive capacity of humans injected with active potions is more than five times that of ordinary humans.

Even if you eat more, the body can decompose these foods and extract the beneficial substances inside and store them.

"This is a good thing. Can you make some more?"

Su Mo nodded slightly, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

Researchers do not have regular work and rest schedules, and often work overtime for several days because of an inspiration.

During this period, eating is a very troublesome thing.

The increase in blood sugar and the secretion of melatonin will make the hard-won inspiration disappear.

So if you inject active potions and eat a big meal, you will not feel hungry for several days.

From another perspective.

If you can inject potions and eat more before a long-distance march, you can keep your body functions at their peak in the next few days.

It is simply a war artifact.

"Of course, it's very simple to make active potion. It only needs two main materials, one of which is a common economic crop on Blue Star, active leaves." Catalina nodded nonchalantly.

But after she finished speaking, she changed the subject: "However, there shouldn't be many active leaves stored in the bunker. If you want to make a lot of them, I'm afraid you have to wait until winter is over and plant a batch yourself with seeds."

"It's easy if you have seeds."

Su Mo smiled and said.

Active leaves are the mainstay economic crops of Blue Star. The Red Spider Caravan gave him some before, and they should still be in the warehouse now.

It is somewhat similar to tobacco leaves on Earth, both of which have stimulating ingredients.

The difference is that there are more stimulating elements in active leaves, and they can be further concentrated after special extraction.

All kinds of drinks made from concentrated ingredients have hallucinogenic effects, but the side effects are very small, which is the only entertainment for the lower class.

Even if there is no active potion, Su Mo plans to wait until winter is over and spring comes to plant a batch.

At that time, he will take them to other cities or gathering places of indigenous people, and he will surely be able to exchange for a lot of good things.

Leaving the happy cooks to clean up the "battlefield", Su Mo walked out of the simple cafeteria.

Catalina also wiped her mouth and followed.

Seeing that there were no guards around, she stepped forward and lowered her voice:

"I have heard that Hades will hold a meeting in Sunny Harbor tomorrow. Are you going too?"

"Of course, he has specially invited the managers of our Western Suburbs Alliance."

Su Mo nodded, showing an expression of disapproval.

Compared with the letter sent to the Pumpkin Bunker, the letter sent to the border wall of the territory is more serious.

There are also more photos, with many close-ups of heavy tank giant lizards.

"Then you have to be careful, Hades is not a good person, he may directly attack you.

Hearing this, Su Mo was slightly stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"Although killing is the simplest and stupidest way to solve the problem. "

Katerina said with a serious expression.

"But everyone who chooses to enter the hibernation chamber will have a thirty-day rapid awakening period after waking up. If they can choose to sleep again during this time, the impact will be reduced a lot. If Hades wants to solve all the problems without affecting his continued sleep, he will definitely choose to solve the problems in the most violent way, and the time will not exceed one month. "

"Believe me, killing you is definitely the most direct way. "

Katerina hadn't said anything else.

If you haven't fallen asleep after more than thirty days, you will enter the backlash period.

As time goes by, the risk of the next hibernation will increase.

If you haven't entered the hibernation chamber for more than a year, the mortality rate of the next hibernation will soar to 80%.

If it exceeds three years, hibernation is equivalent to death.

So most researchers and professors in the academy are unwilling to enter this endless cycle.

After all, once you wake up, you will have to face a choice. There is only one month every thirty years to deal with chores.

And there are only two paths in front of Hades.

Either solve the problem quickly and continue to sleep.

Or choose to give up sleeping and complete the last journey of life.

"Okay, I'll be careful." Su Mo accepted this expected advice and comforted the researcher by the way: "You don't have to worry too much. Our West Suburb Alliance is not made of clay. In fact, if he dares to take action tomorrow, I will let him know how heavy the price of action will be. "

"Then I'm relieved. "

Katerina didn't ask Su Mo about his backup plan, and ended the topic very smartly.

She knew her position very well.

Although she was also a participant of the Western Suburbs Alliance, she was just an ordinary person with research capabilities.

If she went to a gathering place with scientific research capabilities, she could still get certain treatment.

But if she went to that kind of primitive and barbaric gathering place, who would care whether she had studied biology or physics before.

As long as it didn't bring immediate benefits, her fate would be no different from those slaves.

After arranging someone to take Katarina to find a room to rest, Su Mo continued to take the airship back to the underground city in the night rain.

Most of the preparations for tomorrow's action have been made.

But some finishing work is still needed to ensure that the plan is foolproof.

In addition, the system’s challenge tasks will also be refreshed at 8:00 on the first day of February.

The black building where the chips are manufactured will also be opened at the same time tomorrow.

"Tomorrow will be exciting."

After landing the airship and looking at the gathering black clouds, Somo gently twisted his neck.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that the rain was aimed at Hades.

If the dwarves send an army to attack at this time, I am afraid that the enhanced version of the biological inhibitor will not have much effect.

February 1st of the second year of the wasteland calendar.

The torrential rain that covered most of the New World not only did not stop, but also covered an even larger area after one night.

Thick black clouds filled the sky, and huge raindrops fell crazily as if they were free.

The temperature is lower.

Without the warmth brought by the sun, the temperature during the day dropped to less than five degrees.

Fortunately, the cotton grown previously had been harvested and dried a few days ago.

Otherwise, due to the heavy rain, there probably won’t be many flowers left to pick.

"Lord, our garment factory is already working overtime to make winter clothes. It can meet the needs of the field in up to three days."

Chen Shen stood at his desk and reported.

The ‘Tangtang’ garment factory, founded by a man who wanted to eat candy, took advantage of the situation and attracted many players who are craft enthusiasts.

The current production capacity is only 200 pieces per day, but as proficiency improves, it will not take a month to meet the demand.

"Okay, check the heating facilities as soon as possible. It should be very cold this winter."

He stayed up until three o'clock last night before going to bed. It was only seven o'clock now, and Sumo was still a little confused.

But when he was hit by the cold wind, he woke up instantly.

Before you know it, winter has arrived again!

I still remember that at the beginning of last winter, the shelter was only a small two-story building.

At that time, Somo's biggest wish was just to reunite his family and have abundant supplies.

Only one year has passed.

The shelter has been transformed from two floors to six floors above ground and underground, and the space has expanded dozens of times.

The number of people under his command has also grown from a single person to more than 10,000, and the scale is now comparable to that of a small town.

The most important supplies were almost filled with all the warehouses built, enough to feed 100,000 people for two years.

Coupled with surrounding allies and the development of science and technology.

Thinking about it carefully, it really makes people feel like they are in another world.

"Okay, Mr. Yehu has sent a message asking when will you set off?"

"Let him wait first, don't be in a hurry."

After sending Chen Shen away, Sumo continued to sit on the stool, looking at the ceiling and meditating.

In the void invisible to others, the system's panel has been unfolded, revealing a countdown number.

00:11:21

In just over ten minutes, the challenge mission, the highlight of version 1's update, will be refreshed.

As a new function that replaces the novice guide, it is also a prerequisite for starting version 2.

Although Sumo doesn't expect to be rewarded with a killer weapon similar to the Dongfeng 17 to help the territory gain a firm foothold.

However, the recent increasingly complicated situation still gave him an urgent desire to get help.

There is no way, this is the limitation of individuals and time.

Although mankind has the ability to develop civilization to the modern level again, this process will take at least several decades or even longer.

Especially those industries that require a lot of infrastructure construction, if they develop step by step, it will be too slow!

It is very likely that the layout of an industry will take more than ten years or even longer.

But does the wasteland really have so much time?

Think about it, nine years into the wasteland in the ruins, the number of humans was already less than 100 million, and it was still declining.

Assume that the cycle is ten years.

The disasters are not stopping, and Sumo seriously doubts that mankind will survive until the second decade.

While thinking, a clear "ding" sounded.

It's eight o'clock!

The free refresh button on the challenge task interface has lit up, flashing conspicuously.

After pressing the Gathering Thought, the empty panel began to change.

After about a few seconds, words appeared clearly.

From top to bottom, there are three in total, accompanied by simple tips that come with viewing the task for the first time.

[Growth reward mission in February of the second year of Wasteland]

[This growth task is divided into three difficulty levels: low, medium and high. You can get different rewards after completing it]

[This challenge task is not divided into difficulty levels. You can receive the mysterious reward after completing it]

[Low difficulty task]

[Recruit troops and recharge your batteries]

[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 pork, one ton of fish)]

[Medium Difficulty Mission]

[Enclosure is king, infrastructure construction]

[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 5%]

[Highly difficult task]

【Furnish war with war, strengthen troops and horses】

[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%]

【Challenge Mission】

[The winner is king, the lord of the alliance]

[Task duration: three months]

[Task requirement: Become a recognized leader within the Western Suburbs Alliance and gain recognition and conviction from allies]

[Task reward: A new floor is added to Tianyuan Dungeon (orientation: science and technology; incidental items and facilities: random)]

[Mission failure: 5% version progress deducted]

Damn it?

After scanning the requirements and rewards of the three tasks at a glance, Sumo couldn't help but exclaimed.

This is so surprising.

Before the mission was refreshed, Sumo thought that the challenges released by the system would be very difficult to complete.

But now it seems quite simple?

For a low-difficulty task like this, it might have been difficult to recruit a thousand players from Earth in the past few months.

But now is the peak period of migration. As long as you pay a little attention, it is not difficult to meet this requirement.

As for this health requirement.

The average health of the more than 10,000 people in the territory is now 51.

It's not high, but just 1,000 people want to push this value to 40, unless they find some terminally ill people who are about to die.

Otherwise, you can easily meet this requirement and receive the reward of ‘five tons of meat’.

As for the intermediate tasks?

Seems easier?

Expanding the territory area can be operated through the territory panel, and the accumulated territory points are completely sufficient.

Build new infrastructure sufficient for 5,000 people.

Soma focused on this item and found that it was not as difficult as he thought.

It only needs to build 500 houses, two canteens, ten toilets and 1,000 acres of cultivated land to complete the project.

It just corresponds to eating, drinking, diarrhea and sleeping.

As for difficult tasks

Sumo stared at it for a while, not thinking of how to complete the challenge given by the system.

It is not difficult to participate in a war involving tens of thousands of people. When the Rangers invaded before, the game also indicated that it was a war involving hundreds of thousands of people.

But the difficulty is that the system requirement must be as the "main force".

Fortunately, there is no requirement to win, so there may be room for maneuver.

Somewhat greedily glanced at the 'junior complete production line optional' in the reward, Sumo closed the panel.

Calculated based on the current task rewards, only 20 difficult tasks are needed to make up for the version upgrade progress.

Refresh once a month, that's a year and a half.

Of course, this is only after completing all the difficult tasks that come out every month.

As for the final challenge mission.

Soma did not force this aspect, but planned to let it develop naturally.

Three months is not a short time, and there is no rush for it.

Now Kevin and Hunter in the alliance are somewhat willing to believe in him, leaving only the old guy Aldrich.

However, even though they believed it, Yehu and Kevin were not willing to respect him as the leader of the alliance so easily.

You have to wait for a good opportunity.

Go up to the first level of the dungeon.

As soon as I opened the door, another gust of cold wind blew through, which was in obvious contrast to the warmth of the previous days.

But looking at the guards huddled in the cold wind in the distance, Sumo nodded slightly thoughtfully, with a direction in his mind.

perhaps

Will the coming cold winter be a good opportunity?
