Chapter 79 - 78: Second Attack
Stone stood at the entrance of the church, watching the lightning fill the sky and the downpour, and said, "The pressure to survive has begun. Are we still going ahead with our plan?"
Maya replied, "Proceed as usual. Shift the night shift to the day shift and cancel the daily water collection. Drive back and forth to the apartment building during the breaks in the lightning. Stone, the issue of the water source should also be addressed."
Stone said, "The first solution is to establish a water pump station. The condition for building a water pump station is that at least one base member must master piping study. After the water pump station is built, we can pump water manually, which should allow us to transport water directly to the water tank of the veggie patch." Communicating game experience via radio is Stone’s main occupation.
Stone said, "The second method is the Outpost Card. That’s out of the question; even with an Outpost Card, we wouldn’t use it on the water pump station."
Stone said, "The third method requires the Public Utilities Living Skill. A player who has acquired this skill can craft a rain collector at the workbench. The rain collector can be installed on the farm, and then we won’t need to carry water. Currently, only a player in Right County is known to have this skill, but he died not long after learning it, so it’s impossible to know whether the Public Utilities have other uses."
After pondering for a moment, Maya said to Stone, "We now have two copies of the piping study."
Stone asked, "Do you mean just pull in anyone to join us?"
Maya: "Not just anyone. This person can be without contribution, but there must be no problem with their character."
Stone understood, "Someone who is obedient."
Maya nodded.
Stone said, "And we can’t tell them about it."
