State of Decay - Chapter 160

[Chapter 159 Activities]

Shanna sets Lin Wu as Class A, Nightmare as Class B, and herself as Class C. Shana rested first. She made a pot of black tea for everyone and read a book before going to bed. During this period, Lin Wu and Nightmare repelled five zombie attacks. On average every 7 minutes. However, the zombies did not count according to the average number. Sometimes they attacked continuously without interruption, and sometimes they stopped for more than ten minutes. This makes the defenders have to stay alert at all times.

This game mode is obviously cruel to players, but everyone is facing the same challenge, so everyone will have no objections. Except for the Lone Ranger of course. After the rules of the game were announced, the Lone Rangers already knew that they were bound to die. With luck, two adjacent bases can be combined into one base, but one person can only bring one food pack with 4 food units. After this person goes to other bases, he has to consume 3 additional food units from other bases.

Even if there are two people, it is difficult to carry it for 7 days if the weapons are not good enough. Other injuries are okay, after all, there are hospital beds, but the beds can no longer cure the infection. Whether you can hold on, first look at equipment, second look at technology, third look at vigilance, and fourth look at serum needles.

From Lin Wu’s personal point of view, the system is still very user-friendly. Zombies will stagger after entering the base, and their bodies are unstable, giving players a few seconds to react. But Nightmare, who was defending the other channel, didn’t think so, because the zombies she was facing had already assembled. Her defensive advantage channel is 14 meters away, while Lin Wu is only 7 meters away.

Why not squat at the two passages for defense? Due to the cold, the player cannot leave the campfire too far and for too long.

Three people must have my teacher, Lin Wu learned a lot from Nightmare. Nightmare’s way of holding the gun is cool and practical. The gun is hung on Nightmare’s chest, and the right hand is always holding the gun body. When a zombie appears, the right hand is slightly exerted, and the left hand can hold the barrel of the gun immediately to aim and shoot.

After shooting, Nightmare left his left hand, the muzzle of the gun drooped slightly, and his eyes left the scope to wait for observation. When a new zombie appears, it can be fired quickly again. Not only fast, but accurate.

There are many details in this set of actions. The position of Nightmare’s right hand on the body of the gun is very particular. One of its fingers can toggle the safety, and the ready-to-fire mode can be completed with a single grip. Then the left hand cooperates with the lifting, the person lowers his head, and raises his right hand. After the three actions are completed at the same time, she can quickly prepare through the scope and then shoot.

Facing Lin Wu’s question, Nightmare replied: “Sometimes 0.1 second is the line between life and death.” She was talking about facing the shooter, not the zombie.

Lin Wu continued to ask: “How can you be killed by Blood Dream when you are so strong?”

Nightmare was stunned for more than three seconds: “I don’t know.”

Unlike reality, the battle between Nightmare and Blood Dream lasted for a long time . The two sides fought marksmanship first, drugs second, and bullets third. Both sides were shot dozens of times, and all the medicines were used up. With the bullets running out, the two sides fought hand-to-hand. Blood Dream temporarily learned a melee skill, and finally killed Nightmare by taking advantage of the system.

If you want to say that Nightmare should complain that Blood Dream doesn’t talk about martial arts, but Blood Dream didn’t lick his bag after winning, so that Nightmare didn’t want to be a villain who said bad things behind his back. What’s more damning is that the two still had pistols to fight at that time, but Nightmare thought that her fighting skills were better than Blood Dream’s, so she proposed to give up the guns and fight.

Zombies appeared on Lin Wu’s side, and Lin Wu pointed his gun at the gun to shoot, the accuracy was not bad, and the speed was not too slow. Nightmare was hesitant to speak while watching it, Lin Wu humbly asked: “What’s wrong?”

Nightmare asked back: “Why do you close your left eye?”

Lin Wu was startled: “Don’t you close one eye when shooting? “

Nightmare said: “Look at the scope with the right eye, but the sight range of the scope is limited, and you can’t determine what is happening around you during your shooting. So the best way is to observe with the left eye and aim with the right eye. The brain is between the left and right eyes. First of all, you need to understand why you need to close one eye when shooting, because the left and right eyes see different directions, and the shooting accuracy will be reduced, but it is another matter to have the aid of the scope.” Nightmare said: “

You If you want to improve your level, you’d better get rid of the habit of closing your eyes. By the way, didn’t Maya correct you?”

Lin Wu spread his hands, and when mixing with Maya, Lin Wu mostly used silencers, with a single target and a long distance. There are a large number of targets today and the distance is short, so it is necessary to quickly switch targets. Maya considered Lin Wu’s melee combat ability, so she didn’t think it was necessary to change Lin Wu’s habits.

Nightmare didn’t give any further instructions, so Lin Wu groped and practiced by himself, and after eight hours, he got used to shooting with his eyes open. During these eight hours, there was an average wave of zombies every ten minutes. The number of zombies ranged from four to eight, all of which were ordinary zombies. The number of blood plague zombies accounts for about 20%. Serum was not found on plague zombie corpses.

Lin Wu rested, took some time to prepare some tea for the two, and borrowed a book to go to the dormitory to read and sleep. Lying on the bed, Lin Wu put on earplugs, read a book for a while and slowly fell asleep.

Nightmare and Maya have somewhat similar personalities, they rarely take the initiative to participate in other people’s or team’s affairs. The difference is that Maya has the responsibilities of teaching and leadership, and she will actively intervene in these two areas. Nightmare is purely a lone wolf, as long as you don’t mess with her, she can always cat in the dark. She doesn’t trust other people, and she doesn’t need others’ trust.

All this changed a lot after she joined the supermarket base and the special blizzard event started, and even directed Lin Wu to shoot. The reason may be helplessness, being forced to live with others under the same roof. Maybe it’s her envy of group life in her heart, after all, human beings are social animals. Perhaps it was just to express goodwill to Lin Wu, because she already knew Lin Wu’s strength, and she would most likely need Lin Wu to assist her in completing tasks in the future.

People like Nightmare will not list the opponent as an enemy just because they hate their personality. Just like how people evaluate a city in the 21st century, people here don’t talk about feelings, only talk about value. Whether you have value to him determines whether you can develop feelings.

It’s normal to be on duty with nightmares, and occasionally chat. As soon as Lin Wu and Shana opened their mouths on duty, they started digressing and started to play with you. I guess, the two zombie raids caused them to be in a hurry, and the two could only put down the pen and paper to chat. They are different from the combination of Maya and Lin Wu. Since Shana and Lin Wu chat frequently, the topics cannot supplement their chat content. So I played brain teasers, talking, laughing, angry and fighting, but it was also lively.

…

At eight o’clock in the morning on the third day of the blizzard siege, the system broadcast: The total number of surviving players is 8,302. Players can choose to go to the shelter. Assuming that the points obtained during the snowstorm are X, if you choose to go to the shelter at this time, X points will be deducted, and the total points will be deducted. Please make a decision within one hour.

System broadcast: Starting today, the number of zombies, attack frequency and ratio of blood zombies will increase day by day. Good luck to everyone.

The death skill attribute is cleared, and the points for going to the shelter will be reduced by 2X. This was obviously something that neither Shadow nor the members of the supermarket base could tolerate. Facing the temptation of the system, they all laughed it off.

In the radio conversation, I learned that the defense of the shadow base is relatively easy. Since there is only one intersection in the shadow base, the entrance for all zombies is the church gate. They are well staffed enough to accommodate two or three people per shift. Among them, Su Shi was the worst, because of coroner sickness, he hadn’t been to the front hall in the past two days.

Lin Wu reported bad news to the main base. Lin Wu looked out from the gate of the base, and vaguely saw a touch of red mixed in the white world. Lin Wu guessed that the blood mist from the cement plant spread wildly during the snowstorm, and it was very likely that the snowstorm would cover Birch Park. In the winter time of more than a month in the future, the supermarket base is facing the threat of blood fog.

When listening to Lin Wu’s report, Shitou thought that after the blizzard event was over, he might have to face visits from neighboring neighbors again, so he asked Maya if he could attack the city earlier. Maya still said the same thing, you need a car, and you can’t move without a car.

…

At eight o’clock in the morning on the fifth day of the blizzard siege, the system broadcast: The total number of surviving players is 1,700. Going to a shelter now only deducts X points. In other words, so many days were spent in vain. At the same time, the system explained that the number and intensity of zombie attacks will be further increased.

Ordinary zombies can’t hold an assault rifle no matter how advanced they are. Although there are few people in the supermarket base and they have to guard two passages, they guard the passages, and the zombies cannot run fast. But this strength is more difficult for players who only have pistols. Shotguns don’t work either. Shotguns are too slow to reload, and if a round of bursts doesn’t kill all the zombies, then you have to reload while running away.

At this time, Shana asked a question: ” The bazooka   is a gun, and the rocket is a bullet. Does the bazooka enjoy the treatment of unlimited bullets?” Fog debated for half an hour. The core point of Little White Rabbit is that rocket launchers are not firearms, only firearms enjoy unlimited bullet bonuses.

…

On the seventh day of the blizzard siege, which was the last day, at 8:00 am, the system broadcast: There are a total of 900 surviving players. Now only 50% X points will be deducted when going to the shelter, and you can get VIP treatment in the shelter. VIP treatment includes unlimited buffet, hot spring, sunbathing, paragliding, skydiving, diving and more. Best of all, everything is free.

Suguang tried every means to get everyone to leave the blizzard event before the end of the blizzard event. In order to achieve this goal, a video was played to each base after the broadcast. The younger sisters or younger brothers accompanied the camera and took the players to browse the VIP items. When it’s a buffet, Lin Wu and Shana will be hungry, lobster, crab, barbecue, hot pot, cake… as long as you know the food, you can find it here.

Little brothers and sisters also provide regular massages to VIP players, sunbathing on the beach… If it is not forbidden, Lin Wu guesses that they will even use the dirty trick of ‘color glaze’. Once this trick is used, it is believed that many players who have sworn to be dead against drug gambling will fall completely because of this.

However, only half of the points are deducted, but he can enjoy the life of a rich man for 24 hours, which is quite tempting for Lin Wu. Fortunately, there are Shana and Nightmare by his side. No matter how tempting he is, Lin Wu is still a shameless person. In the end, of course, he resolutely refuses the temptation and continues to fight.

On the last day, the proportion of zombies fighting the blood plague increased to 50%, and the number of zombies and the frequency of attacks increased greatly. Lin Wu relied on survivors of the blood plague to guard the 7-meter passage alone. Shana cheered up and could barely hold the 14-meter passage. It didn’t matter if she was infected, anyway, there were still more serum needles.

Considering that the combination of Nightmare and Shanna is weak, Lin Wu gave up his sleep time and concentrated on guarding the 7-meter passage. Lin Wu didn’t know how many bullets he fired and how many zombies he killed that day. So that in the end he shot completely instinctively. This defensive strength greatly tests the player’s willpower.

Of course, this is for bases with a small number of people, and it is not a problem for shadow bases. The Maya foursome plus stones ensure that there are three assault rifles defending the main entrance at all times. Even without headshots, the lethality of the assault rifle itself can easily block the impact of the zombies.

Maya also took the opportunity to correct everyone’s shooting posture, conducted a wave of training, and also practiced tactics. Teach everyone how to arrange the positions of the three gunmen, and block the zombies’ progress by means of a crossfire net. The most ruthless of all is the knife. The main knife does not use the 5.56 assault rifle, but the 7.62 raider. Its bullets are much more powerful than the 5.56. Changing the magazine for 150 rounds saves the knife a lot of time.

Under the guidance of Maya, the knife balances the recoil and controls the best time for the second shot. At night, Knife can hold the church door with his Raiders in single player.

…

The blizzard event finally came to an end. The system announced that there were 376 surviving players in the end. Congratulations to everyone. Due to the snowstorm, the market will reopen in two weeks. A week later, the first leisure activity in our hometown will be ushered in: ice fishing competition. All players who want to participate in ice fishing are requested to prepare fishing tackle and bait as soon as possible. When ice fishing, there is a chance to catch pirate treasures and obtain various props, including but not limited to firearms, material packages, skill books, loot boxes, blueprints, base function cards, etc.

System broadcast: I wish you a happy game, goodbye.

…

Lin Wu entered a state of fatigue on the day the event ended due to lack of sleep. Morale drops are not serious, but fatigue and hunger are big. In terms of fatigue, in addition to reducing attributes, it also adds a vulnerable state. Ankle sprains can occur even when walking on level ground. So Lin Wu stayed to sleep, Shana and Nightmare went to the supermarket through the sewer to continue searching for food packages.

Lin Wu slept for ten hours, Shana and Nightmare brought back 6 food packages, a total of 24 units of food. At the same time, there was also a food shortage at the main base, and their food could only last for one more day. Contact Shanna at night after searching for food to no avail that day. After the discussion, Maya will lead a large force to the supermarket base tomorrow, and go to Zuo County for food through the sewer.

The bad news is that all the food packages in the Zuoxian Supermarket have been looted by the supermarket base, so the sewer outlet must be replaced tomorrow. As for the dangers in the surrounding areas, it is unknown whether there are food packs. Fortunately, the supermarket base has replenished its inventory.

Eryang with my wife!

I regret asking for leave yesterday, otherwise I would be able to lick my face and ask for a few days off today. After all, readers are always more tolerant of the weak who are sick.

In order not to go to class, the youngest daughter tried her best to lean on the two of us. After using 3 antigens, it was still negative, and she was extremely disappointed.
