The cold wind howled, and the weather that had been quiet for a long time finally passed, and another blizzard blew from the northwest.
Five days have passed since the eyeless monster first rushed out of the cave. The five-meter Ye Qiong has been staying on the front line with the soldiers.
Behind the wall of the defense line at the exit of the cave is a residential area that has been built. About one kilometer further to the northwest is the original location of the old coal mine base, which has now been transformed by the soldiers into a new strategic military base. Aiming at the base without monsters in the cave here.
Some spare strategic supplies and food are placed here.
In today's weather, if you go out to work, you will be under a lot of pressure, both mentally and physically. The strong wind is blowing heavy snow, which is raging along the way.
In the past few days, the frequency of the eyeless monsters coming out of the cave has decreased, but the number has increased. Ye Qiong has been recording the data and analyzing it simultaneously.
Originally, Ye Qiong's plan was to get some lit coal into the cave when the snowstorm came. But now when the snowstorm came, he found that this matter was difficult to handle. The wind was too strong, and even a little bit of coal would not be able to handle it at all. It will not burn. If the burning coal is taken to the outside, it will burn out in ten minutes under the influence of the wind!
Under normal circumstances, it can easily burn coal for several hours, but it is a bit too inconvenient to burn.
Therefore, the plan could not keep up with the changes. The idea of using coal to block the eyeless monsters during the snowstorm was shattered. However, what surprised Ye Qiong was that after the automatic snowstorm came, the eyeless monsters rushed out four times. It started to decrease.
A day has passed since the last time they rushed out, and there is still no movement in the cave.
The current temperature is about minus fifteen degrees, which is still the temperature of early winter. In another two months, the temperature will continue to drop.
During a snowstorm, the temperature can reach about minus 20 degrees Celsius. This temperature is very cold for humans, even if they wear thick animal skin coats to go out.
As for monsters and scavengers with thick skin and thick flesh, during a snowstorm, they can only go out if they can, otherwise they are very likely to freeze to death outside.
When the snowstorm comes in the late winter, the beasts are forced to stop and rest.
This winter, with the availability of coal, the lives of the tribesmen and warriors have undergone qualitative changes. Within the tribe, there is no need to worry about freezing to death.
Ye Qiong has another plan for this winter, and that is...
centralized heating!
After this plan has coal, it will also require a large amount of iron to make pipes for transporting hot water. If the scale is not large, Ye Qiong will first focus on the pyramid residential area.
Once central heating is successful, the Yeqiong tribe will no longer be afraid of cold winter.
In winter, maximum production efficiency can be achieved.
Ye Qiong did not stay in the stone house now, but came to the defense wall and looked at the location of the cave.
Through these days of observation, Ye Qiong now has a clear understanding in his heart, and has a new understanding of the eyeless monsters in the cave.
Generally speaking, their current appearance is unorganized. After Ye Qiong's analysis, he felt that the space inside the cave may be shockingly huge, and the eyeless monster is an original creature inside. This cave, It is also likely to be the Dinglong Mountains, one of the exits through which they can come out.
Therefore, some eyeless monsters will pop up randomly and from time to time. To understand it simply, those eyeless monsters wander to this cave, and then instinctively want to dig a hole to get some air, and reach the next place where they can breathe. The exit is too far.
If Ye Qiong's current guess is correct, it means that there are indeed more powerful creatures under the cave that can command them, because last winter, Ran Ran was there where Yaoyao and Rourou were born. After a while, it was obvious that those eyeless monsters were guided by some kind of power.
As for the overall strength of the eyeless monster, the warriors have now fully explored it. That is, the strength of the low-level monster is lower than that of the mid-low-level Snow Demon Wolf.
The soldiers can handle it easily, so there is no need to worry too much here.
The only thing Ye Qiong is worried about now is the emergence of higher-level monsters that can command the eyeless monsters. According to the current level of monsters on Snow Star, once the strength reaches the king level, theoretically they will have this ability. .
In other words, if there is a creature inside that can command the eyeless monster, its strength is at least at the level of a king.
With the troops currently deployed by the tribe in the cave, even if there are king-level creatures inside, they can still fight head-on with a few giant crossbows.
Ye Qiong had already planned to go back to the base of the waterfall after the blizzard stopped. In comparison, Ye Qiong was more interested in the large space in the left passage inside the waterfall. After all, it was possible to excavate a place with a Civilized ancient tribes.
Ye Qiong knows what this thing means to Xuexing, himself and the tribe.
Ye Qiong continued to look at the cave for a while, then found Ye Tianlong and Ronling, and discussed with them that after the defense wall here was built, all the remaining troops would be sent to the coal mine base not far away.
The plan for the underground castle is based on years. Although there is no rush, someone has to do it slowly. Building an underground military castle is not an urgent matter for the current Ye Qiong tribe, but It is also a trump card when encountering monsters of lord level or above.
Ye Tianlong and Ronling had no objections and immediately made arrangements. The wind and snow outside were still very heavy and it was no longer possible to start work on the surface. The frontline soldiers continued to stay here. Ronling arranged for a brigade captain to lead the team. Fifty second-line soldiers braved the cold wind and rushed to the coal base.
The cold wind howled, making it difficult for the soldiers to open their eyes. The harsh and cruel snow star environment challenged the physiological limits of human beings all the time in winter.
A week later, the blizzard passed, and the earth became silent and peaceful. A three-meter-high snowdrift was piled up at the entrance of the cave. For a whole week, not a single eyeless monster escaped.
On the side of the defensive wall facing away from the cave, a two-meter-thick layer of snow has accumulated. If someone jumped off it, it would be immediately submerged.
Ye Qiong called Dadai over and planned to go to the waterfall base and the cave today. Unless there are special circumstances, don't worry about it for the time being.
Now, both the path leading to the tribe and the path that was stepped on have disappeared under the snow.
As far as the eye can see, there is only an endless white world.
