Chapter 516 - 259 Typhoon Day_2
Maya spoke of the port office located in a four-story building near the harbor, where the area was littered with abandoned trucks and overturned container vehicles, making traffic conditions quite poor. Additionally, there were two large logistics parks not far from the port.
Overall, the harbor area was a place with relatively abundant resources but also high concentration of zombies. The worst part was that there were two Blood Hearts in the harbor area.
Maya decided on a doomsday strategy that, for the time being, would ignore the ships, lighthouses, and the harbor itself. She would focus on looting resources from the warehouse and living areas near the Doomsday Fortress as much as possible.
The spoilage of pork from the warehouse near the Sawmill proved that resources would slowly disappear over time. This was later confirmed by Shana’s team who discovered spoilt food in a shopping center, including visible spoilage of processed foods like bread and sausages.
Moreover, the amount of basic items like scrap cloth, scrap metal, and electronic components obtained from disassembling the same item were declining. Previously, dismantling one curtain could yield at least two pieces of scrap cloth, and sometimes even more with good luck. Now, dismantling one curtain had only a 90% chance of yielding one piece of scrap cloth.
After complaints, it was learned that this wasn’t a matter of the system lowering drop rates, but rather all items would become rotten and dilapidated as time passed.
Everyone felt intuitively that resources were slowly depleting.
Even so, during the first month of summer, life at the twin bases of Shadow was quite good. Daily raids on warehouses and shopping centers yielded no large hauls or surprises, but there were still plenty of odds and ends. With some luck, they could secure a few bullets and some canned food. Fishing was done regularly, and the haul from the sea was stable, as the sea was boundless.
On the first day of the second month at midnight, an alarm sounded throughout the server: a typhoon was approaching. The typhoon was expected to last 4-7 days, bringing with it heavy rainfall. During the typhoon, the density of outdoor zombies would decrease to a minimum, while the indoor zombie density would spike. As for how much, the system suggested players find out for themselves.

Waking up and opening the dormitory door, Lin Wu saw torrential rain outside. Looking up, he noticed that the breakfast table and chairs across the way had vanished, leaving only a campfire. Although a campfire was a System Item that couldn’t be destroyed, the shelter above it couldn’t withstand the storm.
