C) DISCARD USED DICE AND ADD USED SURVIVOR TOKENS TO YOUR REFUGE
After having claimed the Building cards, discard the dice of that building

Flip the Survivor tokens you used to their illustrated side, and place them
in your refuge. They now act just like the survivors printed on the cards.
Note: The wild survivors become slackers after you use them.

then add the next 3 Equipment tokens.
