Chapter 442 - 230: The Mountaineering Team
At eight in the evening, the command center had already lost contact with Shana’s squad. That’s the downside of simulation; the game data mentions five kilometers without a discount, but with simulation, you have to consider terrain and magnetic fields and such. Luckily drones weren’t restricted, and from a distance, they saw Shana’s squad setting up camp at the base of Husband Waiting Cliff. The campfire had already been lit, and the three of them were gathering firewood.
At the same time, the base’s people also used their spare time to stockpile wood. They took advantage of the spring refresh rules and chopped more logs from the parking lots on both sides of the base. After all, only ghosts knew what would happen in summer.
Stone and Maya were taking inventory of the base’s supplies, considering the worst possible simulation scenarios. First was food, and because they had the beach and the farm as two major food sources, there wasn’t much of a problem. Next was medicine, which meant they needed to urge Little Knife to gather more herbs. The water source wasn’t an issue either, there was a stream behind the back door, and they could make water purification tablets through the medical office.
Although ammunition was scarce, it was more than enough for self-defense unless they decided to cancel the base’s unlimited ammunition. If they were to cancel unlimited ammo, they’d have to do away with the noise threat system and siege system as well. The real trouble was gasoline. For players, gasoline was a non-renewable resource; apart from Invincible Base, which increased gasoline daily, or having high-level skills to increase it, once you used some, you had less.
If there was no gasoline, it meant the players’ range of activity would be reduced, and eventually, they could only be trapped in the base. Looking at the base’s pickup trucks like Overlord and others, not one was fuel-efficient.
Su Shi, who was passing by, rarely joined the discussion with the two leaders: "We need basic materials."
"Why?"
Su Shi said, "The Sawmill has gates on the northeast, southwest, and northwest sides, just gates, while other places use iron fences. According to the system, these fences are part of Invincible structures. If we enter a simulation system, the fences will definitely be damaged and will need materials for repairs."
