Chapter 43 Xiahe Village’s Plot

"Attention, the relationship between the camp and Xiahe Village has deteriorated, and the stability of the area has declined."

"The current population score is 6, the technological recovery level is 9, and the regional stability level is 6.1."

"What the hell?!?"

Looking at the data sent by Shuanghe, Chen Jiu couldn't help but jump up from the ground.

Are you kidding me?

In just a few hours, the stability level of the region has reached 6.1?

A total of more than 6 points were lost!

What are you doing?

He obviously didn't do anything, he just asked Lin Wen to go to Xiahe Village to find the refugees who had originally sought refuge in the camp!

No way, wouldn't they start fighting with Xiahe Village in just a short time?

Don't tell me, it's really possible.

"Shuanghe, what's going on over there?"

Shuanghe's life monitoring system can cover Xiahe Village, so he should know everything about what is happening there.

"The refugees who returned to Xiahe Village clashed with the villagers of Xiahe Village. Refugee Lin Wen incited other villagers to leave Xiahe Village and join the camp, which caused dissatisfaction in Xiahe Village."

"Now, Xiahe Village has listed the camp as a threat. It can be inferred from their conversation that they may launch an attack on the camp before the arrival of the ice wave, with the purpose of destroying the camp, killing the bandits, and grabbing food."

"The probability of this event occurring is 47.2%. It is judged to be a high-risk event. Please be prepared to respond."

"What the hell, this Lin Wen is too good at troubleshooting!"

"If I had known earlier, it would have been better to wait until Lin Shuang came back and let her negotiate. At least it would not have turned from neutrality to hostility."

"According to calculations, if refugee Lin Shuang goes to negotiate, the probability of triggering a conflict is 87%, which is much higher than Lin Wen."

"At the same time, the probability of an armed conflict breaking out on the spot is 49%."

".Don't you have a fuel-efficient lamp?"

"Currently there is insufficient personality data to make judgments about the behavioral patterns of more refugees."

Seeing Shuanghe's answer, Chen Jiu could only sigh helplessly.

What can be done?

It was impossible for him to predict this situation in advance, and it was even less possible for Shuanghe, an inhumane AI.

Now that something has happened, we can only find a way to solve it.

Fortunately, although Xiahe Village has the intention to attack the camp, the probability of it happening is less than 50%, which shows that their will is not firm.

So, in this case, as long as our side shows greater sincerity or greater deterrence, we can terminate this incident.

The former will definitely not be considered, as it is no different from ceding land and paying compensation.

As for the latter, since Lin Wen has gone back, Xiahe Village must already know that they have hunted a tiger, but this has not effectively deterred them.

Then there is only one choice:

Kill something stronger.

Poor crampon, it probably hasn't realized at all that it has become a bargaining chip in the game between two forces, and has been forced to embark on a path of no return.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiu quickly edited a message in the background.

[Breaking news: The friendship between Xiahe Village and the camp dropped to 6.1, and the camp’s prestige dropped year-on-year.

As the camp grew stronger, Xiahe Village felt threatened by us. This threat would not have caused bloody conflicts, but the intrusion of a tiger broke the fragile balance.

Most of the refugees who had been disappointed with Xiahe Village completely abandoned the village where they had lived for decades and turned to the forces in the camp.

This behavior was regarded as betrayal by Xiahe Village.

The conflict is about to break out, and Xiahe Village is very likely to raid the camp and snatch food before the ice wave comes.

As a pioneer in the revival of civilization, you must be prepared to repel all invading enemies!】

As soon as the news was sent out, Qin Chuan, who was tinkering with solid-state hydrogen batteries in the research institute, ran out shouting and shouted excitedly to Chen Jiu and the wig who happened to be walking by:

"Holy shit, shit, the national war plot will be triggered so soon!"

"Have you looked at the taskbar? The taskbar has been updated!"

"Xiahe Village is coming!"

Wig rolled his eyes in disgust and replied:

"This can be considered a national war, shouldn't it be called a village war? But then again, what did that NPC named Lin Wen do? Why did his friendliness suddenly drop so much? I remember it was still 12 before.

.”

"It doesn't really matter what he did. This should be a main plot, and killing the tiger is the trigger."

The insect lady replied thoughtfully, and then continued:

"It doesn't seem like it's necessary to fight, right? Looking at the mission description, it just says to be prepared. So we should let us players play freely?"

Chen Jiu nodded and guided vaguely:

"Let us play freely. I don't think there will be a fight, at least not a big one. The game has always been oriented to ensure the population as much as possible. If there is a fight, wouldn't it just cut off the main line?"

"It's probably a conquest plot, the kind of route where you either conquer them in one wave or use force to intimidate them."

"It makes sense. Can resource deterrence work? Let's grow a bunch of mushrooms and if they don't cooperate, we won't give them food!"

"."

"."

Chen Jiu and Chong Niang were silent together, and only Qin Chuan replied:

"Wig, haven't you heard that sentence?"

"My neighbor is hoarding food and I am hoarding guns. My neighbor is my granary."

"In this doomsday context with no rules, what's the use of stocking up on food? People just come up and grab it."

"I think Chen Jiu's analysis is quite right. There are only four of us at this stage, and the planner will not be stupid enough to let us fight against a village. Although we are not invincible, it does not conform to the plot logic."

"Deterrence must be the main choice. If we consider the recent appearance of crampons, the planning has already hinted at it."

"You mean to kill Crampon?"

Chen Jiu was overjoyed. This Qin Chuan was really a qualified supporter. He had already completely deduced the direction before he said anything.

If he didn't worry about card bugs, he would really be a qualified player.

However, before he had time to turn this idea around in his mind, Qin Chuan continued:

"no."

"Without this plot, Iceclaw would have killed him."

"But now that the plot of the conflict in Xiahe Village has come out, why kill the crampons? It's obvious that they have to be captured alive!"

"Anyway, I'm going to grab crampons. Which of you will go with me?"

"Why did you come back again? Is that thing so attractive to you?"

The insect lady asked helplessly.

"Damn it, what are you talking about? You don't want the early divine pet?"

"To be honest, I don't want it. I want to build the heating system as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the ice wave comes, we won't be able to go online."

"Okay, this is business. Chen Jiu, what about you? Will you accompany me?"

"If I don't go, don't I still have to help you build a reverberatory furnace?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan turned his attention to the wig again.

"I want to grow mushrooms!"

Wig answered confidently.

"No, if you don't go, how can I catch him by myself?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. There are too few players now and we just don't have enough manpower."

"I think, actually, there is no need to catch it. Just kill the crampon head and throw the head to Xiahe Village. If you show off your muscles, it should be enough to act as a deterrent, right?"

Chen Jiu still didn't give up. He really didn't want Qin Chuan to waste time on a challenge that was too difficult. Although he could continue to be resurrected, the longer he delayed, the greater the manpower gap in the camp would be, which would be detrimental to the reconstruction score.

Promotion is extremely detrimental.

It's a pity that Qin Chuan didn't listen to the advice at all.

"It makes sense. When will this game be put into closed beta? Such a small manpower is really not enough."

"Forget it, none of you are free, so I'll go by myself."

"Anyway, I've already planned what equipment I'm going to use. Just wait for me to return in triumph on my crampons."
