Chapter 830: Chapter 371: New Homeland and Hardcore Mode

On the twentieth day of winter, the fifteenth day of the extreme cold wave, the temperature finally reached a low of -71.2 degrees. At eight in the morning, Dawn announced the first piece of information through the broadcast: the extreme cold wave would end at eight in the morning on the twenty-second day of winter, with expected highs and lows afterward of -25 degrees and -45 degrees respectively.

Just after nine in the morning, Dawn released the second piece of information: 400 players remained alive.

Dawn then announced the third piece of information: the new sanctuary would start registration in five minutes, and the registration would close at nine o’clock eight minutes AM on the twenty-second. The registration requirements varied depending on the management mode: under dictatorship, the leader’s agreement was sufficient, and once registered, members would be pulled into the new sanctuary even if they left the base. Under collectivism, the minority must obey the majority. In bases under individualism, all members must agree.

Dawn explained: Players would choose their bases in the order of registration. The first method was transfer; players would directly transfer their bases to a vacant plot in the new sanctuary, provided that there were no buildings on the plot. The second method was the exchange; keeping in mind that if the old base’s safe area was one thousand square meters, players could only exchange for a new sanctuary base of no more than one thousand square meters.

Dawn: The new sanctuary has a total of four system-recommended large bases, fifteen medium-large bases, thirty medium bases, sixty small-medium bases, and one hundred and twenty small bases.

Dawn: Bases and all their members who do not register in time will enter True Hardcore Mode after the winter ends.

Dawn: There is no difference in the points calculation method between the new sanctuary and True Hardcore Mode.

Dawn: Everyone has the right to choose the new sanctuary. If you give up your rights, it is considered acceptance of all the rules of True Hardcore Mode.

Dawn: After simulation deductions, the survival rate of players in the new sanctuary is 60% over six months. The survival rate in True Hardcore Mode is 20% over ten days and less than 0.2% over six months.

Dawn: I wish everyone a pleasant game, goodbye.

The news today was explosive, and while everyone was still digesting the information, Lin Wu cried out, "See? Didn’t I tell you? Why sell air conditioners? Why sell ice machines? Didn’t I tell you? Ha ha, Twilight Elder, you’re limited to this trick."

Shana reminded, "The focus is on True Hardcore Mode."

Lin Wu said, "The scarier Dawn describes True Hardcore Mode, the more it shows its guilt. I choose True Hardcore." Within five seconds, Lin Wu had made his decision. Even if Shadow went to the new sanctuary, he would go to True Hardcore. It was simply to oppose Dawn.

Stone said, "Everyone, please share your thoughts, time waits for no one." If you wanted to register for the new sanctuary, you had to hurry to snatch a strong position. Individualism was the most troublesome since it required agreement from all members. Dictatorship bases like the Sawmill Starlight Base just needed a tap from Starlight’s finger. They were definitely among the first batch to pick locations.

Even if they couldn’t grab one of the four large bases, they could still directly transfer their base there; the matter wasn’t too problematic.

Little Knife looked at Lin Meng: "What will you do?"

Lin Meng: "I’m communicating with it, it says the Fortress Agent mission will be at the end of winter, I can play freely. I can join a base to go to the new sanctuary, or join a base to go to True Hardcore, or survive alone. But like you, I can’t be revived again, and in True Hardcore Mode, I won’t be able to use safehouses."

Some pondered, others whispered, after a long wait, Stone asked, "Everyone, share your thoughts, Maya, Shana." Although Lin Wu had directly stated his position, he was easy to deal with, as his reason was merely to oppose Dawn, lacking core ideas.

Maya stood up: "Personally, I lean towards True Hardcore, but I will follow the majority’s decision." Given Maya’s nature, choosing True Hardcore wasn’t surprising; it seemed nothing could stop her from heading towards danger and hardship. However, based on her statement, her will wasn’t firm, and going to the new sanctuary was also fine.

Shana stood up: "The new sanctuary, definitely the new sanctuary. Our points are quite good now, and with our abilities and strengths, surviving another two quarters in the new sanctuary is completely feasible. I disagree with Lin Wu’s opinion, I think True Hardcore is indeed very dangerous. Not to mention that Shadow could perish, the risk of losing members within two quarters should be extremely high. Therefore, I support the new sanctuary."

Her words contained no compromise, indicating her firm support for the new sanctuary.

Stone mentally noted her as one vote; convincing Shana to change her stance was quite difficult as she clearly analyzed the pros and cons.

Snow Egg said, "I support Shana, True Hardcore, no matter how diluted, is harder than the new sanctuary. So far, I’ve found no evidence of Dawn playing a bait-and-switch game. To be fair, although Dawn is bad, it never lies. I’ve found no traps in the information it provided."

Two votes for the new sanctuary.

Little Knife spoke next: "Snow Egg and I have experienced a harrowing journey, and I deeply understand the importance of Shadow to me. I’m willing to take on True Hardcore, but I respect the majority decision."

Little Knife’s words clearly lacked weight, still leaving two votes for the new sanctuary.

Su Shi: "As a logistics person due to my unique talents, I definitely choose the lower difficulty; I also do not want to become a burden to everyone."

Three votes for the new sanctuary.

"I’m good with anything, so the new sanctuary it is," said Lin Meng, and seeing Lin Wu look at him, he involuntarily added, "True Hardcore is also fine." Annoyed, he was angry with himself. Why should he be afraid of him?
