I'm playing Frostpunk in Arknights

Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Before the Storm



Wang Zhan fixed his view above Alina. Xiaolu entered the shed with the list that had been compiled long ago, and Mephisto followed him in.

Carl asked the rest of the people to wait outside and entered the shed.

Wang Zhan lowered his view. Alina in the lattice window knocked on the door of the compartment. Mephisto hid behind her and Carl stood at the door.

"Hello, can I ask you some questions?"

The infected person who opened the door habitually showed a stiff smile when he saw Alina. Alina knew that he was sincere, but he hadn't smiled for too long and looked stiff.

Many infected people behave like this. They don't know how to express their feelings.

"Yes! Of course," the infected person answered readily, "I will answer truthfully no matter what you ask."

"When did you start to be infected with the mineral disease?"

The infected person had doubts, but when he thought of what the guys in the textile factory said, he gave up the idea of hiding it, "When I was working in the mine two years ago, but my disease was not very serious..."

"Where is your Originium crystal?"

The infected person turned around and touched his shoulder with his hand, "It's here, do you want to see it? I think this may not be good for you."

Alina asked Mephisto to evaluate the other party's mineral disease infection according to the materials given by Gatlin. She ticked the list, "Your mineral disease infection is temporarily rated as good. If there is any emergency, remember to find me."

The infected person thanked him again and again. After wandering on the snow for so long, it was the first time that he felt warmed by something related to mineral disease.

"Thank you, Lady Alina! And, Lord Generator is above..."

The infected person in front of him had red eyes and bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude. Although Alina was distressed, she was also happy, "Okay, don't hurt yourself, let's go find the next person."

Carl, who was standing at the door, followed the two at first, but later he just stood guard at the door.

What someone would attack Alina... He saw these infected people nodding and bowing one after another, and they were not so respectful to the inspectors.

Boring, Carl leaned against the door frame, but laughed out loud.

There is nothing to do, isn't this good.

Wang Zhan saw that the progress was smooth and Mephisto was not as dangerous as the prompt said, so he was relieved.

And the infected people here were very grateful to him and were very kind to Alina, so his worries were unnecessary.

At this speed, the investigation will be completed soon.

Wang Zhan saw that it was late at night, so the construction of the lighthouse should be on schedule. The storm will reach the generator in five hours, so Talullah's worries can be eliminated.

Build a lighthouse to point the way for the guerrillas.

"Alina, is the investigation almost done?"

Alina rushed to the last shed. The white-haired Liberi beside her was energetic and followed her quickly. "It's almost done. Do you have any instructions?"

"At two o'clock in the morning, start building the lighthouse. The address is at the edge of the map, near the northern entrance."

"Well, I understand," Mr. Generator did not rest. Alina was encouraged in her heart. When the storm came, Mr. Generator would not relax.

Alina pushed open the door of the shed. The lights in the corridor were a little dazzling. The infected had been waiting for her for a long time. "Miss Alina, you are finally here."

"We didn't know which shed you would go to, so we asked everyone to come to Guerfu's house to wait for you in advance."

Alina felt relieved. The infected were willing to take the initiative to cooperate with her work, which was a good sign.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Let's get started."

Wang Zhan was also paying attention to the progress of the workstation. The heater was still one hour away.

When the workstation was designed, Gatlin and the three infected people would need to rush to the rescue station. He needed to turn on the heater to ensure that the rescue station could maintain basic operations.

And Talulah...she needed to welcome the guerrillas.

The temperature when the storm arrived was expected to be minus seventy degrees. The overload of the generator could increase the temperature of the surrounding area by forty degrees, and the insulation effect of the shed could increase it by another twenty degrees, so the temperature in the shed was minus ten degrees.

With cold-proof clothing, this temperature was considered suitable.

The heater in the rescue station was about this temperature.

Wang Zhan yawned, his eyelids were a little twitchy, but there were not many infected people sleeping under the generator. He guessed that it was because Alina was looking around, and these people were afraid that something would suddenly come to their door.

Second, because the storm is coming, although these infected people believe in the generator, they still have doubts in their hearts. They have never faced such a storm head-on, so some concerns are understandable.

After this storm, the hearts of these people will be completely with me.

After a while, Alina came out of the shed, "Mr. Generator, the preliminary investigation is over, and we can start injecting mineral disease inhibitors into the seriously ill."

Wang Zhan cheered in his heart, "First, ask everyone to wait at the door of the rescue station. When the work of the workstation is completed, they can receive the injection."

In the workstation, Tallulah and four other people finally completed the research on the heater at around 1 a.m. Faust and the five people carried the children who couldn't bear it to the first floor and submitted the results to the typewriter.

"Tallulah has finished the work," Wang Zhan said to himself, then opened the panel of the rescue station, added four engineers, and the rescue station showed normal operation, "Start injecting mineral disease inhibitors into the infected." Gatlin and the other three people received the order to go to the rescue station, and the four said goodbye to Tallulah. Tallulah took the children on their backs, "You have worked hard, because the generator will use Originium as fuel, and inhibitors need to be injected into the seriously ill...so the rescue station will start working at this point." "We all understand, and the rescue station has to maintain normal operation," the three infected people interrupted. They did not find it troublesome, but felt that they should bear more work, "not to mention this critical moment." Tallulah said goodbye to the three people, Faust woke up the sleeping Shelf, and took the children back to the shed together. "The blueprint of the lighthouse!" Mephisto had been waiting at the door of the shed for a long time. He thought about how to tell Tallulah for a long time, but he forgot everything as soon as the other party opened the door. Tallulah was startled by him, "Mephisto?! Okay, I'll rush back to the workstation, you and Faust arrange for the children to go to bed."

She turned around and ran back to the workstation again. The infected along the street looked at her through the window. Tallulah seemed to have returned to the days when she passed by the village, but the people in the house no longer avoided her gaze, and their eyes were full of expectations for themselves.

"What can we do..."

The infected next to the workstation asked, and Tallulah immediately replied, "Go and gather people, the more the better!"

The infected received Tallulah's order and immediately told others.

When Tallulah took the blueprint, dozens of people surrounded the door of the workstation, which seemed a little... too many.

"Heh," Tallulah stood in front of the workstation door and looked around. Everyone's eyes were shining. She said solemnly, "We have one last task left, building a lighthouse!"

"Everyone, follow me!"

The infected cheered in unison. Tallulah walked out of the crowd, her heart was burning. The heat waves from the generator blew her hair. Tallulah's mouth corners rose, and the appearance of the generator was reflected in her eyes.
