State of Decay - Chapter 158

[Chapter 157 Rope Bridge]

The second round of voting begins at eight o’clock in the morning on the fourth day of the blizzard.

System broadcast: “The number of remaining players remains unchanged. The second round of voting is only allowed to vote for a specified number of days, which are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9… 31. If a number exceeds 40% of the votes, this number will continue to be used by Blizzard. The duration. Voting starts, and the voting time is 5 minutes.”

Lin Wu pulled down the system interface and opened the voting interface. They had already consumed 12 of the 27 foods, and the remaining 15 foods can be eaten for 5 days, and the maximum number of days to live is 7 sky.

Shana seemed to understand voting very well, and said: “Logically speaking, no one would vote for 1 day, but after three days of confinement, many people no longer care about how many points they have accumulated, and just want to end as soon as possible. Because some people will vote 1 God. But there are not many people here.”

Shanna: “The first part of the main players will continue to vote based on their actual food inventory. The second part will vote according to their psychological endurance. I guess the two numbers 5 and 7 The probability is higher. 5 and 7 are also our limits.” 5 is the food limit, and 7 is the survival limit.

Shanna: “The way Shuguang votes makes me uneasy. We don’t have enough food. Look at the results of the vote first. If the percentage is less than 20% in 5 days, it means that other people either have sufficient food reserves or they have a steady stream of food. Food supplement. It’s like having two farmlands in the main base.”

Shanna said: “If the vote rate in 5 days is less than 20%, we have to venture out to find food.”

Lin Wu asked: “Shall we vote 5?”

“Yes.”

After voting, Lin Wu said: “I climbed from the rooftop to the sentry tower yesterday. Although it was only ten meters away, the process was not easy. We are 700 meters away from the entrance of the sewer. Even if we could climb to the sewer, we would have been frozen to death.”

Sha Na said: “No, you climbed to the sentry tower against the wind yesterday. As long as we wait until the wind is down, we can save a lot of energy and time. It is best to choose the daytime, the temperature is lower at night, and the frequency of frostbite is higher.” Lin Wu looked at Shana:

” Seems to be a little tricky.”

Shana was dissatisfied: “I’m very capable, okay? Otherwise, how can I be the deputy commander.”

Nightmare asked: “Are you sure? I said that the number of people in the five days is less than 20%, and we have to find food.”

Shana nodded: “I’m sure. I’m most worried about a player with only one production type left in the base of other players, such as Stone. He can produce one or several pieces of food every day, and everyone else goes to the shelter. Theoretically speaking He can persist until the game is closed. The good news is that the maximum time given by the system is 31 days. I think 31 days is a decision made after the system evaluates, which means that the system believes that someone can persist for more than 31 days.” Shanna: “The

system The number of deaths must be controlled, and the vote seems to be fair, but none of it is nonsense. For example, why is it not 12345, but 135? It means that the system has started to release water, hoping to gather votes.” Lin Wu praised: “I am impressed.

“

Shana Smiling proudly: “Praise me quickly.”

Lin Wu said: “Not only is he beautiful, but he is also very smart.”

Shana said with satisfaction: “This is the most correct sentence you have said since I met you.”

As air, Nightmare looked down at the book without saying a word, even though it existed like a shadow, but at the moment she was still very happy to have someone by her side.

Voting closed, no number of days could be determined. Among them, 7 days accounted for 25%, 5 days accounted for 15%, 3 days accounted for 15%, and 1 day accounted for 25%. The next voting time is 3 days later.

After analysis, Shanna thinks it is very difficult to do now. As soon as this remark came out, Lin Wu rolled his hands and rolled his eyes to despise him. Shana slapped Lin Wu with a smile and explained: “25% of them can’t hold on in one day, but they can survive to vote in three days, and most of them know that they are Can’t survive, so it is very likely to throw away this part of the votes. The total number of votes for the third vote is between 75% and 80%. Most people who vote for 5 days and 3 days will vote for 1 day, because they can’t survive the third round Vote, add up to 30% of the votes. People who voted for 7 days may return to vote for 1 day.”

Shanna concluded: “I speculate that the vote type of the third round of voting for 1 day is between 35-45%.”

Three days later, there was only two days of food left in the supermarket base, and theoretically they would die at 8 am on the fifth day. Assuming that vote 3 wins after three days, they will be very hungry after the blizzard, and they must eat 9 units of food within 24 hours of the day. Therefore, for the supermarket base, the best and most optimal solution is for everyone to choose 1 day in the third round of voting.

But in this way, fate is in the hands of others.

Lin Wu said: “I suggest going out.”

Nightmare: “I am against going out.”

Shana: “Although I am opposed to going out, I support going out.” In the choice between Nightmare and Lin Wu’s opinions, Shana chose Lin Wu.

Nightmare asked: “How to get out? You said yourself that you have to rely on crawling for a distance of less than ten meters. We are 700 meters away from the entrance of the sewer.”

Lin Wu said: “Rope.”

“Rope?”

Lin Wu said: “We cut the 700 meters into 20 sections, each section is 35 meters. Relying on crawling and other methods, we fix the rope on trees or stones to make a rope path. In addition, we can go directly through the park instead of taking the main road. Save a distance of 100 meters.”

Shana praised: “You are also very smart.”

Lin Wu: “You are also very handsome.”

Nightmare can’t wait to draw a gun and kill these two shameless people. Nightmare question: “Are there so many ropes?”

Lin Wu said: “I have paid great attention to the collection of ropes since the beginning of the game. Every time I go out, I have to bring two bundles of ropes.”

Shana walked to the door to check for a while: “Shunfeng, who will test the feasibility?”

“My idea, I’ll come first.”

Shana said: “I’ll make a simple sled.”

Lin Wu is very familiar with the surrounding terrain of the supermarket base. If there are no obstacles, he can reach the supermarket base even if he is blindfolded. He handed one end of the rope to Shana, and Shana fixed it to the water pipe of the base. Lin Wu got out of the base and entered the blizzard. Before he could lie down, the strong wind blew him down and rolled a few meters towards the county seat.

Lin Wu pressed the sled board, which is a U-shaped board, under his body to increase the force-bearing area and prevent his body from falling into the snow. Then use your hands and feet to pick up the snow and slide forward. Keep your body as flat as possible during this time. In order to reduce the stress, Lin Wu didn’t even carry any weapons or backpacks.

The difficulty and danger of the journey are nothing to Lin Wu. He is very happy to be able to go out after nesting for 3 or 4 days, even in a snowstorm. Breathing the cold air, feeling the cold, touching the trees all made him feel alive.

Frostbite doesn’t matter, Fortress Express delivered a lot of medicine, just pay attention to blood volume. Lin Wu climbed 100 meters in one breath. Seeing more and more frostbite, he didn’t dare to go any further. After tying the rope firmly to the tree, he grabbed the rope and climbed back. The good news is that we didn’t see any zombies along the way. I think Shuguang still has a little conscience, but it doesn’t rule out that there are zombies under the snow.

Seeing Lin Wu’s return, both Nightmare and Shana breathed a sigh of relief. After Lin Wu went to the hospital bed, he explained the distance. According to Lin Wu’s injury and the calculation of the round-trip time, Shana thinks that the rope can be extended by another 90 cm for the second time. Shana took out the paper and started to draw. After seeing the nightmare clearly, she walked to the door and took a deep breath. Cursing her mother in her heart, she grabbed the rope and got into the blizzard. She very much hoped that Lin Wu would give up after returning, but Lin Wu not only did not give up, but also extended the planned 35 meters to 100 meters. Look flat.

With the help of a rope, the first half of the Nightmare went very fast with the aid of the sled. After climbing to the end of the rope, Nightmare tied the rope he was carrying to the tree, and then climbed towards Zuoxian. She is also very familiar with the terrain in this area, scolding herself while climbing her, why did she believe in the evil of these two people, and even threw the backpack in the base.

After arriving at the destination, Nightmare tied up the rope, drew a dagger to cut off the excess rope and put it away, then slid back along the rope. Lin Wu took the initiative to give up the hospital bed. After Nightmare went to the hospital bed, he took his backpack to check, and found that the small mechanism he had placed had not been triggered, which means that Lin Wu and Shana had not opened their backpack during their absence.

The setting of the small mechanism is very simple, put the hair or other items on the zipper to close the zipper. Naturally, items such as hair will not stay in place if someone unzips them.

Shana was not in a hurry to go out, and after the two of them basically recovered from their frostbite, Shana walked along the rope. In this way, through the relay, the three spent a day building a rope bridge leading to the sewer. At the same time, the last stick of Lin Wu brought good news, the sewer is as warm as spring. The bad news is that Shanna’s basic clothes won’t hold up even with the spring-like warmth.

Shanna is the guide, she has to go, what if she has no clothes? Nightmare gave Shana the general-purpose cold-resistant 80 flowered padded jacket, and changed into exclusive level 1 clothes.

Lin Wu saw Shana who had changed into a cotton-padded jacket, and couldn’t help exclaiming, “It’s not that the clothes are ugly.”

Shana covered her face with one hand, and turned her head shyly.

Nightmare’s blood pressure soared to 200 in an instant, and 20,000 beasts rushed past in his heart.

Lin Wu didn’t realize it, and asked curiously, “Nightmare, where did you get first-class clothes?”

Nightmare replied lightly: “I learned how to sew.”

Lin Wu was speechless because of the richness of what he said, and Shana asked curiously: “Where did you get so many clothes?” Strong skills?”

Each of the five attributes has skills, which are divided into two categories from the current point of view, one is self-comprehension skills, which are divided into star skills and professional books to assist learning skills. One is the skill book skill, Blast Blow is an agility skill, and because Shana prefers sub-sensitivity, it can’t show the true power of Blast Blow, but as the frequency of use increases, its agility star will increase, until The effect will definitely improve with time. It’s a pity that because it is a sub-attribute, the speed of ascension to stars is half slower than that of the main attribute.

In addition to the five attribute skills, there are also life skills. In theory, each person can only learn one life skill, and it can only be obtained from the skill book. Lin Wu has the dual skills of hunter and hacker because of his erudition. Obviously, hacking belongs to high-level life skills, and hunter belongs to middle and low-level life skills at most.

Hacking skills come from the skill book that is issued from the special reward treasure box of the system that kills the Big Mac for the first time in the whole server. From the analysis of scarcity, even if sewing is not as good as hacking, it is still a rare middle-level life skill. Why do nightmares have so many skill books?

Nightmare replied: “Completing each mission will give you an advanced weapon and a skill book, because in order to complete each mission, we need to consume a lot of resources. Repeating crossbows and assault rifles are mission rewards, as are sewing and the like. So. Take the road of love in the open marriage system as an example. There are a total of five side missions. After completing each side mission, you can get weapons and skill books. But in order to complete each side mission, I almost run out of resources every time. .I also used lichenology to exchange motorcycles and gasoline from Invincible Base.”

Lin Wu suddenly realized: “Invincible Base made a deal with us with lichenology, and it turned out that you sold it. No wonder, I haven’t heard of other players owning it. Lichenology.”

Nightmare continued: “The skill book is of very limited use to us.”

Shanna asked: “What if the mission fails and resources are used up?”

Nightmare said: “Two ways, the first way is Sell inventory in exchange for materials, but at the current level of players, there are very few materials that we are interested in. The second way is to buy with points. We use the accumulated points to buy materials from Suguang, and the price is very expensive. I have done it now Level 6 mission, if you want to buy a set of materials to complete the level 6 mission, you need to consume half of my points.”

Lin Wu went to the warehouse, took a bazooka and a rocket out, and asked, “How about this thing?”

“Nimma , RPG!” Nightmare was shocked on the spot: “It’s very expensive… No, it’s not very expensive, it’s relatively rare.”

Shanna took a panoramic view of Nightmare’s expression, and immediately smiled: “Let’s make a price.”

Nightmare slapped herself , but she really wanted this thing, she thought about it for a long time and asked, “What do you want?”

This question failed Lin Wu and Shana in turn. What do you want? Lin Wu still lacks a hacker computer, but Nightmare will definitely not be able to get it out, because the hacker computer is an exclusive item made. Shanna lacks everything, is new from head to toe, and new can’t be new.

Nightmare said: “I’ll discuss with you after I find something of relative value.” Damn, how can I get the Liannu back, now the Liannu is getting farther and farther away. However, there is a price difference between her and Lin Wu, and the skill book she doesn’t care about is a treasure in the eyes of Lin Wu and others. As long as you can get a suitable skill book, Nightmare is confident to switch to RPG.

RPG is rather useless to Lin Wu and the others, because there is only one shot, and one rocket will not kill the player, but it will not kill the Giant Mac, and it is a waste to hit the zombies. For those who do nightmare tasks, they need heavy firepower when facing strong enemies. One rocket can make the mission successful, which can save a lot of bullets.

In addition, Nightmare also covets the bullet inventory in the shadow. Gradually, she feels as if she has been kidnapped by the shadow, and every time she does a task desperately, she seems to be working for the shadow. Conversely, if Shadow is really so powerful, he can become a partner of Shadow.

From Lin Wu and Shana’s point of view, Nightmare people, regardless of whether they are bad or bad, at least have certain morals. After joining the supermarket base, she never looked through the warehouse, at least she didn’t do so when Lin Wu and Shana were present. In addition, Nightmare didn’t know about rockets, and she didn’t know that there were a lot of ropes in stock. She probably didn’t look through the warehouse.
