State of Decay - Chapter 165

[Chapter 164 A5 (Part 2)]

Zombies here are more mobile. Even if Maya has cleared a path, zombies will fill the gap within a few minutes. Using the Silent Pistol with the Repeater and the Silencer, the Nightmare successfully reached Maya’s truck. Next is an open area with a length of 100 meters.

There are no large bunkers in the open area, only small bunkers such as trash cans, earth pits, simple toilets, and car washes. Nightmare first climbed onto the roof of the car and lay beside Maya. Maya said: “The scanning frequency of the turret is 5 seconds.”

Nightmare looked at it for a while: “Trash can, toilet, two earth pits, ditch, trash can… 5 seconds, theoretically can be done.”

Maya said: ” There can be no mistakes.”

Nightmare said: “If you burn your stamina and run, there will be a lot of noise.”

Maya said: “We are responsible for clearing the zombies in your path. But you have to use gestures to show us which bunker you are going to.”

While speaking, I saw an elevator appearing from the tunnel, and the zombies full of mine carts left the elevator and mixed into the zombies in the open space. Maya asked: “Is this spawning zombies?” Generally speaking, zombies will not spawn near the player. But the behavior of people refreshing zombies at the bottom of the mine and sending them to the ground complies with the rules.

Nightmare nodded: “This is one of the characteristics of our mission.”

Maya asked: “How would you pass the mission without our assistance?” Nightmare

replied: “Two rockets directly destroyed the fort, and then went all the way in.” A huge expense. In addition, I have to get the laptop and complete the evacuation within an hour. Is it too late? The nightmare is completely uncertain.

If the mission fails, the A5 laboratory will be refreshed, and Nightmare needs to find the laboratory based on new clues. At this time, the defense strength of the laboratory will change.

Why is A6’s defense so weak? The A6 assessment is not about the player’s combat effectiveness. Without Maya’s two-hour information collection, Maya would not be able to pass the A6 assessment. In addition, the first question of the little white rabbit is to ask them if they are Fortress agents. The ghost knows what test the fortress agents will face, the only thing that is certain is that the little white rabbit is still relatively friendly to ordinary players.

…

The battle began. Lin Wu and Maya cleaned up the zombies on the way forward of Nightmare. Nightmare ran desperately while the turret was in the middle of scanning, and a sliding shovel hid behind the trash can. Nightmare looked at Lin Wu on the roof of the dormitory and gestured to his side, while Lin Wu on the roof kept shaking his hands, making Nightmare question marks on his forehead.

Standing on the edge of the roof, Lin Wu squatted down with his back facing the nightmare and took off his pants. The movement was indescribable, and he stood up and raised his pants. After a pause, Lin Wu stretched out his hands and rubbed them back and forth. After finishing the movement, Lin Wu bent his left arm, pointed his fingertips at the top of his head from top to bottom, and made a question mark movement.

Thanks to Nightmare being a smart person, it took 10 seconds to understand Lin Wu’s meaning based on the terrain. Lin Wu means that the next place you go is the bathroom or the sink? Although the two are probably in the same direction, there is a certain distance.

Nightmare squatted down and made a movement of taking off his pants, but because he was afraid to stand up, he had to bend his waist and straighten his legs to do the movement of putting on his pants. Lin Wu understood it, and immediately waved his left hand up and down to nod: I understand.

Maya, who was lying on the roof of the car, was about to faint, holding back her laughter. That is Maya, if Shanna is replaced, A5’s mission ends here.

After Nightmare and Lin Wu finished a set of actions very seriously, Lin Wu successfully sent Nightmare to the back of the toilet, Nightmare pointed again, this time Lin Wu could see clearly. At this time, the shooting range has exceeded the range of the Liannu, and Maya changed the muffler on the assault rifle to become a reserve member.

With the cooperation of Lin Wu, Nightmare arrived at the tunnel smoothly. Seeing Nightmare hidden in the darkness, Lin Wu glanced at Maya. He wanted to ask Nightmare if he would cross the river and demolish the bridge, and monopolize the secret mission.

After waiting for a minute, the scanning lights on the automatic turret went out. Lin Wu turned to cover Maya, and Maya arrived near the dormitory to cover Lin Wu going downstairs. The two made a detour into the tunnel.

The traditional tunnel is vertically downward, but the tunnel here is a slope tunnel with a 45-degree downward direction. Instead of taking the slope track elevator, the two chose to walk down. After walking for about a minute, I arrived at a path at the bottom of the pit. There was a light on the top of the path, and Nightmare squatted on guard in the path.

Nightmare pointed to the left, and Lin Wu sneaked forward. After walking for a few minutes in the narrow path, the three of them arrived at an open area with two doors in front.

Nightmare stepped forward, put his right hand on the sensor, and the sensor scanned palm prints and fingerprints. A device descends to Nightmare’s eyeball and scans Nightmare’s eyeball. Soon, a voice came from the system: “Welcome Agent Nightmare to the A5 laboratory.”

The two doors slowly opened inward, and Nightmare went to the door and waited. The door just opened halfway, a Kuang Meng jumped out from inside and put down the nightmare. Lin Wu then rushed forward to hold Kuangmeng’s head, pressed his head on Nightmare’s head, and sent him away with two consecutive stabs. Different from the ordinary Kuang Meng in tattered clothes, this is a Kuang Meng in a white coat.

Lin Wu heard the repeated sound of the reed, and Maya shot back the maddened one, and immediately jumped out again, colliding with the nightmare who had just stood up. Lin Wu had a sharp eye and a quick hand, and pressed it and Nightmare together again and stabbed it to death. A wind pierced Maya’s side, and took out the Silent One to guard against the door.

The gates have all been opened, and inside is a three-story base. On the basement floor and the upper floor, glass walls allow people to have a panoramic view of the entire base, and all kinds of equipment and facilities that Lin Wu can’t name are everywhere. On the most eye-catching lower floor, there are many large glass jars placed along the wall, and zombies or humans are soaked in the glass jars.

The three of them walked into the door slowly. Here is a small platform. The spiral stairs on the left and right sides can go up and down, and they can also go to various places on the first floor along the left and right trestle bridges.

In the middle of the basement floor is a larger glass jar, inside which is a shrunken gray blood heart. What is even more shocking is that dozens of them can be seen roaming around the base violently. The fierce clothing styles illustrate their former occupations. There are researchers in white coats, security personnel in bulletproof vests and tactical helmets, and engineering personnel in blue overalls.

Lin Wu crouched and lurked, touching the corpse with his left hand, and asked: “Why is A5 so dangerous?” A6 is completely incomparable.

Maya said: “Now it seems that A6 is only studying the initial virus, and there were no zombies when it was built. A5 was a laboratory established during the zombie outbreak period, with the purpose of researching blood hearts and zombies. There is not a single ordinary zombie here, all are ferocious. If the guess is correct, the wildly mutated virus leaked from A5.”

Nightmare asked: “What should we do now?” Although the fortress agents have relatively rich bullets, they are not that rich. To eliminate this group of wildly fierce, there are not hundreds of bullets. Can’t take it down.

Lin Wu took out a shorthand notebook from the violent corpse and handed it to Maya. Maya opened it and read: “It’s a meeting record. It probably means that the blood heart is a cell, but the cell is very huge. It is guessed that human blood is the source of its life.” Source.”

“No wonder the zombies we saw were dry.” Lin Wu thought about it and asked, “Is the blood heart a dialysis machine? The blood heart absorbs the blood of the zombies, and then injects the blood into the zombies. It turned into a blood zombie.”

Maya did not answer, but continued to read, saying: “They use various animals for experiments, hoping to find antibodies that are immune to the virus from animals.” This is all the information this notebook can provide.

The nightmare reminded: “Now is not the time for storytelling.” Maya said: “You stay here. Lin Wu   is on

the third floor first, and I will touch the corpse later.”

Still relatively low. As long as Lin Wu is given enough time, Lin Wu can bloodbath the entire base by himself. Lin Wu turned his head: “Nightmare.”

“What?”

Lin Wu said: “You said that your mission is getting more difficult every time. Looking at it now, your next mission is likely to face dozens of giants. “

Nightmare sneered, on the surface she didn’t seem to care, but her heart was beating drums. Big Mac? How can it be. But before entering A5, if someone told himself that the next task would be to face dozens of wild beasts, the nightmare would never be believed. From this, it is speculated that the next mission, not to mention dozens of Big Macs, is still possible with a dozen Big Macs.

…

Wind stabbing, stun, and finishing knife execution, this set of movements is already superb for the killer Wang Lin Wu. One madman’s life ends, and the next madmeng begins the countdown to death. Maya silently followed Lin Wu to touch the corpse. Before the bear trap was weakened, Lin Wu could fight a group of mad men by himself, and even now, he was more than enough to deal with two mad men. Three is not enough, more than three Lin Wu needs to fly a kite, and use bear traps, silencers or other means to make the madmen have a distance difference to deal with them.

However, if Lin Wu used the Swiss Army Knife with front and backstabs presented by the knife, let alone three, he would not pay attention to three more. His shooting speed is much faster than Kuangmeng. It’s a pity that this Swiss Army Knife has only a trace of durability left.

The Shadow Base has been helping Lin Wu inquire about the dagger with a frontal backstab, but unfortunately there is no response, and no one seems to have seen it.

Self-made weapons will have various attributes attached to them when they are baked. Taking a dagger as an example, it has attributes such as sharpness, backstab, durability, additional marks, weightlessness, and acceleration. Players divide these additional attributes into several levels. Sharpness belongs to T1 level, which is available in the market, but very rare. Durability belongs to T3 level, common, and its effect is better than nothing. Acceleration is currently the only T0 level known to players, which can increase attack speed by 20%, and there is only one in Beishang Town. But Lin Wu, a dagger expert, thinks that this attribute is useless, and it is not as good as sharpness and durability.

Maya, who touched the corpse, didn’t get any good equipment from Kuangmeng, but she got a lot of personal items. By reading the personal items, she already knew the general situation of the A5 laboratory.

The A5 laboratory is a zombie research laboratory urgently set up by Fortress after the establishment of a quarantine zone by humans. It is directly led by Vice President Davis. Old Dai is a member of the radical faction. In order to find antibodies and obtain comparative data, he He even ordered his subordinates to let humans participate in the experiment.

Lao Dai divided humans, infected humans, and zombies into three groups of samples, and injected synthetic animal virus antibodies into the three samples.

During the research, the lab discovered that bats infected with the virus did not mutate. Due to lack of time, three sets of control samples were infused with synthetic antibodies after hastily tested them.

The first sample was a zombie, which didn’t respond.

The second group of samples were human beings, who suffered from multiple diseases at the same time and died soon.

The third group of samples were infected but not mutated humans. After being injected with antibodies, they had similar symptoms to humans and were infected with various viruses. But they did not die, but completed the mutation from humans to zombies, and mutated into a new species of zombies: ferocious.

Originally, the samples such as Kuangmeng were detained and guarded in an orderly manner. In the end, even if there is no way to deal with the virus, the laboratory will be destroyed, thereby eliminating Kuangmeng. But there were some problems in the A5 laboratory. An employee learned that the whole family was killed by a zombie attack a month ago, and his family should have been protected by the fortress company in the shelter. For the sake of the experiment, the head of the laboratory blocked the news of his family’s death.

Heartbroken, he not only released Kuangmeng, but also became a fan of Kuangmeng after being bitten. It was late at night, and the unsuspecting people either committed suicide or mutated into zombies. After the person in charge was bitten, he killed the blood heart by pouring various high-purity acids prepared in advance into the vessel containing the blood heart. It’s a pity that because the security captain has turned into a zombie, the laboratory cannot be blown up only with the authority of the person in charge.

The secret of the A5 laboratory is: mutant zombies originated from human research on zombie viruses. The problem arises because humans are losing ground in the battle against viruses and cannot give researchers enough time to conduct safe experiments. Gambling is death, not gambling is death, but no one expected that new mutant zombies would evolve.

The crisis of mankind is not zombies, but viruses. The zombie virus has a long incubation period, no effective detection means, and strong transmission ability, making it impossible to cut off the source of infection.

When Maya got the work record of the chief engineer, she completed the A5 puzzle. The task secret of Lin Wu and Maya changed from 1/10 to 2/10.

Lin Wu and Maya were not excited about this. They both thought that it was impossible for them to explore ten secret locations within two years. The good news is that based on the description of the nightmare and the information Maya found, it can be basically confirmed that the secret location is based on the county. In other words, each county has ten secret laboratories.

With the dispatch of Maya in the front and the assistance of the fierce killer Lin Wu in the back, Nightmare can be considered to have completed this mission without any danger. Comparing the rewards he wants to get with the skill book for the supermarket base, Nightmare seems to have found a new way out for the mission. However, there is a difficulty in this road. It is not that you can hire Lin Wu if you have money. You must have what Lin Wu wants to be able to hire Lin Wu.

After the task was over, the three went down the mountain together and said goodbye at the railway track. Lin Wu sent Maya past the checkpoint and returned to the supermarket base. Shana showed Lin Wu a good thing. She borrowed a survival novel from the library, which explained the techniques and baits of ice fishing in detail. However, mealworms, earthworms, red worms, etc. are not live baits that can be found in this weather. So Shanna proposed to search the fishing tackle shop.

Lin Wu asked: “Do you know where the fishing tackle shop is?” The fishing tackle shop is a rare shop. There are only two or three in a county.

Shana: “No. 2 Road in Zuoxian County, I saw it when I drove on No. 2 Road last time.” There are buildings on one side of No. 2 Road, and Jiangbin Park on the other side. There are many people fishing by the river.

Lin Wu didn’t agree right away. Although there was nothing he really wanted to do, he didn’t really want to search the fishing tackle shop.

Shana said: “If I remember correctly, there is a mutton shop next to the fishing tackle shop.”

So they hit it off and confirmed the show for this afternoon.
