It was extremely cold at seven o'clock in the evening on the third dark day.
A layer of white had already covered the area outside. Even the bonfires in Lin Ming's territory had been extinguished and could not be lit anymore.
Only the 30 bonfires in front of the courtyard were left. The fire was kept extremely strong and withstood the snowstorm.
The people in the exchange area had already started to complain about their lack of wood and food.
"Damn, what's with this damn weather? I have to make five large bonfires to keep the fire burning! My wood is almost burnt out!”
"I'm freezing to the point of frostbite. I'm almost out of wood and food. I feel like I'm dying.”
"My soldiers are all frozen to death, hahahaha. I'm the only one left, hahahaha. Although there's only one wild boar left, it's enough for me to eat alone. No one will snatch it from me anymore, hahahaha!”
"Is the person above crazy? This child is too pitiful. However, I have a bold idea!”
He wasn't the only one. Many hungry and cold people also had some bold ideas.
There were also some especially bold people who not only thought about it, but also really did it.
They felt that it was a waste of food to keep the soldiers in this weather and not go out to harvest.
Then, he actually secretly killed all the farmers he had trained.
However…
Ding! Please note that a lord has violated a taboo and will be punished!
[Warm reminder: Killing soldiers without reason and intentionally will result in a deduction of Commander Points. One Commander Point will be deducted for every person killed.]
When this kind of behavior was discovered, the remaining soldiers would collectively rebel, escape, or turn against the lord.
When such behavior exists, it will be permanently marked by the barracks, and the loyalty of recruits trained in the future will be reduced to the lowest value.
[The list of punishments: 393 people worldwide!] 3 people in the region! The detailed name list:
"F * ck, f * ck, f * ck? What was going on? Murder? Killed soldiers?"
"Are these people heartless? They worked so hard to gather resources for you, but now that they don't need them, you actually killed them? The human heart is really too terrifying!"
"How terrifying. Out of our 50,000 people, there are only three? I don't care anymore. I've already manually blacklisted the people on the list. I'm really afraid that I'll be tricked by this kind of person one day. I'm scared.”
When he saw this, even Lin Ming was shocked.
"It's fine if someone died accidentally, but he actually killed his own soldiers. It's a little scary!”
At the very least, it was better to use their brains and send them on some suicide missions than to kill them directly.
However, other than complaining about those people, Lin Ming also complained about the system's notification.
Just like the notification of the disaster, it would only be notified after the disaster had occurred.
It was the same for these taboo behaviors. They would only catch all of them in one fell swoop after so many people had committed them. They would be punished together before releasing the notice.
Those who had committed the crime were already crying their eyes out. They indeed had the idea that the soldiers were just tools.
He thought that if he didn't use it now, he would kill it first and train it again when he needed it.
As a result, their Commander Points had dropped to-20 - 30.
According to the rate of replenishing one or two points a day, even after the disaster, it would take at least half a month to summon new recruits.
Without the protection of the territory, if they encountered any wild beasts or other dangers, they would definitely not be able to survive if they were alone.
However, this kind of person was not worthy of others 'pity at all.
Of course, this wasn't a complete restriction on not being able to kill. For example, accidents, betrayal of soldiers, or committing unforgivable crimes could also be executed by military orders, but it was definitely not an unreasonable execution.
Those who didn't have such evil thoughts had already begun to rely on the proper method of begging for meat and wood to tide over the difficulties.
"Big brothers and sisters! Who else has food to reward me with? I don't want anything in my warehouse anymore. I can exchange it for anything you want!”
"Kneel and beg for wood! My bonfire can't last any longer! I'm also willing to go all out. I'm willing to exchange anything in the warehouse!”
Finally, this moment had arrived. The meat and wood that Lin Ming had stockpiled had also reached the point where they could shine.
The trade of meat and wood, which had been stopped before the disaster, had now reached 1.08 million servings of meat (because it was made into jerky and the temperature was extremely cold, the meat would not go bad, so they could store it without worry).
The wood was even more valuable. There were a total of 23.6 million pieces, and even a large warehouse could not fit them all. Lin Ming directly piled them up in the empty space of the territory.
This was even after Lin Ming had used up a lot of it to produce hardboards. Otherwise, there would have been even more.
A bonfire could last for 24 hours, and if one wanted to keep it burning, they would need at least 300 pieces of wood.
In the cold winter, at least five bonfires were needed to keep the bonfire burning.
There were still eight days left including today. In other words, an average person would need 12000 pieces of wood to survive the remaining time of this disaster.
Lin Ming directly placed his wood resources in the trading area. At this time, there was no need to leave any backup plans.
This was because no one could go and collect resources. In other words, the resources they had were basically fixed. Even if they kept them and sold them the next day, they would not be able to squeeze out any value.
That was why Lin Ming didn't drag the others along. After all, if the bonfire was extinguished, it wouldn't be able to light up. If the people died, no one would be able to help Lin Ming collect resources.
"Seeing everyone's predicament, I feel that I have to do something for everyone…"
