State of Decay - Chapter 167

[Chapter 166]

Although the time is pleasant, like most players, Lin Wu and Shana are more keen on fishing for treasure. With the support of nesting and live bait, they have gained a lot in 24 hours. Important items are as follows.

Advanced Repeater: A thing similar to a muffler, its function is to have a 2% chance to kill with one hit. The side effect is that the noise is doubled, and the durability loss of the gun is doubled.

Tracer Bullet Upgrade Magazine: A firearm magazine can be upgraded to an automatic tracer bullet magazine. One bullet in the magazine is replaced with a tracer bullet, and the position of the tracer bullet can be set. It seems useless, but it is very useful in actual combat. Suppose a magazine has 30 rounds of ammunition, and the tracer is set to 29 rounds. When the tracer is fired, you know that the magazine is about to run out of bullets and needs to be replaced.

Base camera: place the camera anywhere within 500 meters around the base, and you can get video data near this location. Since the second-level command post only unlocks the video, the installation condition is that the base has a second-level command post.

Training Card: Gold. Training schools can be built in the base to provide free one-to-one teaching in engineering, physics, mathematics, cooking, finance, law and other subjects. The most special thing is that the training card will be returned after the training school is dismantled. However, almost all players who participated in the ice fishing festival got this gold card. What didn’t get the card was that they didn’t catch more than two fish.

Base Radar Card: Base Radar can be built in the base, and the scanning range is doubled.

Sniper Building Card: You can upgrade the sentry to a sniper tower, increasing the shooting range by 50% and increasing the noise reduction effect by 20%. Side Effect: Consumes 1 unit of ammo per day.

Field First Aid Manual: Doctors are promoted to Field First Aid after reading it. First responders in the field can deal with fractures, bleeding and poisoning within 5 minutes.

Surgical Operation Book: Doctors can be promoted to surgeons after reading it, and can deal with bleeding and fractures.

Biochemical Expert Card: A doctor can be promoted to a biochemical expert after using it, and can deal with all viral infections, including but not limited to zombie viruses and cold viruses.

Hundred articles on general medicine: Doctors are promoted to general practitioners after reading it, and can deal with all illnesses and injuries except zombie virus infection.

Pharmacology Encyclopedia: Doctors are promoted to pharmacists after reading it, and the number of finished medicines obtained by processing herbal medicines and semi-finished medicines is doubled.

At 7:50 am on the second day of the Ice Fishing Festival, the system broadcast: Thank you for taking the time to participate in the Ice Fishing Festival. In order to meet the needs of the majority of players, after 8 o’clock today, doctors will be specially opened to upgrade their skills. For details, please refer to the game manual.

After the game is updated, the infirmary can be upgraded to a twin-bed ward, and the function of the bed is reduced to zero. That is to say, the injured will not recover automatically even if they lie on the hospital bed for a year. But if there is a doctor on duty in the medical office, the situation is different. The medical conditions and injuries that can be treated vary depending on the doctor’s occupation.

The second big update is that the bandages have been shaved.

For example, a moderate bleed before the update will turn into a light bleed after the bandage is applied. After the update, the moderate bleeding will turn into light bleeding after putting on a bandage, which lasts for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes the wound will return to moderate bleeding. To solve moderate bleeding, you must go to the infirmary to receive treatment from a doctor, or have field first responders provide on-site treatment as soon as possible.

Painkillers are still painkillers, which restore life while relieving pain. Poisoning is still poisoning, there is no medicine to detoxify, you must rely on painkillers to return blood to support, as time goes by, toxicity will gradually weaken. First responders can deal with poison after the update.

A general practitioner is a very special existence. He can deal with almost all injuries and diseases, but his healing speed is twice as slow as that of a specialist doctor. A fracture that can be healed by a specialist in one hour takes two hours by a general practitioner.

A doctor who has not been promoted is equivalent to half a general practitioner, and the healing speed is halved.

Shanna talked with the players in the nearby tent and learned that almost all the players got training cards and a set of doctor transfer cards. It can be seen that Shanna and Maya are right. The reason why Shuguang gave the players a day off is to abuse the players more cruelly.

This update has a huge impact on Lin Wu. In the future, Lin Wu will not be able to rely on medicine alone to enter the world. The originally insignificant doctors became Xiangmomo because of this. If you want to treat all injuries and diseases, a base must be equipped with at least two doctors.

The most deadly rule after the update is: In order to prevent unscrupulous players from stealing other people’s base property, and to protect the interests of players, base newcomers will go through a three-hour inspection period. Within three hours, newcomers cannot take any supplies and items in the warehouse, and are not allowed to use all facilities of the base.

Translation: It is invalid to temporarily join the base to save lives or temporarily join the base to ask for help.

Shuguang still has a little bit of conscience, knowing that the players should not be pushed too hard. If everyone dies, what about the zombie lunch? What about dinner? So Dawn made a patch in the update: open the base alliance task. After the two bases complete the task together, they can form an alliance. Not only can doctors and patients be shared, but they can also use all the facilities of the other base except the dormitory.

In addition, players entering and leaving the alliance base will not restrict weapons and skills, which is also a variable.

The number of alliances that can be formed is based on the number of personnel in the base. The system is called manpower, and manpower is a new system term that appears in this update.

Under normal circumstances, each member of the base represents a manpower. Consuming 5 manpower can increase an alliance quota. For example, the Shadow main base currently has 8 people, plus two people in the supermarket base, a total of 10 manpower, the supermarket base contributes 2 manpower, and the main base contributes 3 or 3 manpower. They can spend these 5 manpower to form an alliance. After forming an alliance, there are 5 manpower left in the main base.

At this time, the supermarket base can form an alliance with base A, which has 5 manpower. In theory, as long as the other party is willing and able to contribute 5 manpower, the supermarket base can ally with an infinite number of bases.

The emergence of this rule represents the possibility of an alliance model. It seems that as long as there are enough people, alliances can be formed indefinitely. This alignment also represents a lot of uncertainty, and players can carry out real looting of other people’s bases.

A and B formed an alliance, and A took people to make tea at base B, suddenly violently killed three of the five members of base B, and controlled the remaining two with guns. In addition to licking bags, base A blackmails the survivors of base B, and if you want to survive, you can exchange whatever. This kind of behavior is very feasible, because when a base is in a state where all the personnel are dead, the base will be delisted by the system, and all supplies and items will be reduced to nothing, even marriage cannot stop it.

Disassociation: It can be proposed by one party, and if the other party agrees, both parties can immediately terminate the alliance status. If the other party disagrees, the alliance status will be canceled automatically after 12 hours.

…

After the update, nearly a million people wailed, and the spectacle of the scene was very spectacular. The Fortress agent, who was used to the life of a lone wolf, even cried and fainted in the toilet. The figure of nearly one million shows that there are still different types. For example, the Shadow Base is particularly appreciative of the alliance rules, and everyone has coveted the supermarket base library for a long time. Winter is not easy, and time is hard to pass. After forming an alliance, you can sleep in the morning and go to the library of the supermarket base in the afternoon to read novels all night.

The only problem is the doctor. At present, only one of the 10 people in the two bases is a doctor, Cuiyu. Which doctor is suitable for Cuiyu to be promoted? Should the base have two doctors or one doctor?

Management discussions were fruitless, so a Shadow Enlargement meeting was held. Lin Wu’s determination is still at full value: “One, a general practitioner.”

A knife’s voice came from the opposite side of the radio: “Survivors of the blood plague are not qualified to participate in this topic.” “

Stinky knife.” “Stinky   forest

fog.”

Interjection: “Shanna speaks.”

Shana: “I think if there is only one doctor, it can be transferred to general practice or surgery. We have a surplus of serum needles. But after the update, there is a small problem, and the distance for personnel to go out is limited. Injuries farther away will put you in a dangerous state.”

Shanna: “To solve this problem, you need a pharmacist to make enough medicines. Or have first responders follow the team and can treat the two most common injuries, fractures and bleeding, on the spot. “

Maya said: “Fractures will not continue to lose blood, and bleeding is the most troublesome.”

Lin Wu objected: “As a senior fracture patient, I disagree. Bleeding can walk back to the base like flying, and fractures can only crawl back to the base.”

Ma Hun On one side, he laughed and said, “It would be interesting if both hands and feet were broken.”

Xiaodao: “I think it’s more interesting to have a broken left hand and right foot. You can climb and jump, but not only is climbing hard, jumping is also uncomfortable. “

Lin Wu: “I said that the worst thing in the whole base is the small knife.”

The small knife looked around for a while and couldn’t find the punching bag, and said viciously: “Summon the five elements of the gods and blast you to death.”

Lin Wu asked: “What novel? “

The most immortal.” Xiaodao: “Last time I read half of the book at the supermarket base.”

Shitou said weakly, “Be serious, everyone, please? Especially the one at the supermarket.”

Lin Wu sullenly said: ” Shitou, you are wrong to say that.”

Shitou asked: “I am not right.”

Lin Wu said: “You asked all of us for their opinions, but did you ask Cuiyu’s opinion? Cuiyu, what kind of person do you want yourself to be?” Where’s the doctor?”

What does this have to do with Cui Yu’s ideal? Shitou gasped: “No more nonsense, I’ll arrange for a courier to deliver the knife.”

Lin Wu was surprised: “How about the 30% courier fee for sending the knife?”

There was a crackling sound from the radio station, and Shana’s voice came from a while: ” Well, he shut up for now.”

When everyone was joking, Maya remained silent. After hearing Shana’s words, Maya brought the topic back, saying: “I agree with some of Shana’s views. I support general practice, But it does not support surgery. As for the two occupations of first aider and pharmacist, there are more restrictions. My idea is that the first doctor in the base is a general practitioner, and the second doctor is a biochemical expert. Go out and take medicine, and bleed and take medicine to retreat , fracture call for support.”

Cuiyu said: “Sister Maya, why is it general practice instead of surgery?” The only thing that general practice is better than surgery is that it can treat virus infections, but it can only treat common virus infections and cannot treat zombie virus infections. General practice cures patients twice as slowly as surgery.

Maya asked: “Has anyone ever been sick in the Invincible Base?”

Cui Yu shook his head

: “

No. ” Why don’t you know?”

Peanut replied, “It’s useless for you to know.”

Cui Yu smiled mischievously.

Maya said: “Since the hospital bed is invalid, we must consider the possibility of getting sick. Among these types of doctors, only general practitioners and biochemical experts can treat common diseases such as colds. However, the efficiency of general practitioners is only half of that of specialists. Cui Yu wasted a lot of your time.”

Cui Yu said: “I have no problem.” Cui Yu is a girl with a kind personality, soft-spoken, helpful, and has no opinions.

Maya: “What’s your opinion, Shana?”

Shana replied: “I agree with GP.”

Maya: “Okay.”

Stone: “I have a slightly different opinion…”

Maya: “This is not your business. “

Shitou: “Oh.” The voice is cute.

Maya said: “I’m sorry, I just don’t want to waste time. I hope to end the meeting as soon as possible and finish the alliance task.”

Stone smiled at Maya, expressing that he didn’t care. Shitou said: “Okay, the meeting is over, let’s start the alliance task. Don’t consume the manpower of the supermarket and the manpower of the shadow.

” With 3 manpower left, I can explain that I want to use 3 manpower to form an alliance with the homeless people in You County.”

Maya asked: “We want to form an alliance with the homeless?”

Stone finally found a chance for revenge: “Of course not. I can handle my business, you take people to do the task of forming an alliance.”

…

The task of forming an alliance is simple and very difficult. Disaster. Within 10 minutes, at least one member of the supermarket base must hand over the badge representing the supermarket base to the staff of the shadow base. Similarly, the staff of the shadow base will give the badge representing the shadow base to the members of the supermarket base. Both sides return to their base with the other side’s badge and put it in the item warehouse. After 10 minutes, the system will detect, and after confirming that the two badges are in the correct warehouse, the two bases will formally form an alliance.

The key point of whether it is easy or difficult is the distance between the two bases, the traffic situation and the situation of the zombie division. If the apartment building near the church on the hill is allied, it is a matter of going up and down. However, the maximum number of members of these apartment building bases is only 3 people, and they can barely form alliances in pairs.

The lack of personnel is not due to the lack of players, but because the base has fewer buildable units. Bases recommended by the system are far stronger than bases not recommended by the system.

The task of the supermarket badge was handed over to Lin Wu, and the shadow was set out by the team. Shana, who was a drag bottle, was somewhat depressed, and practiced a set of blast combos with nearby zombies. But others were even more depressed, the first alliance mission failed.

Failure reason 1: The road was blocked by heavy snow, and ten minutes was not enough to rely on skiing speed. Even if the two sides only walked half the distance, it would take at least 15 minutes to go back and forth.

Failure reason 2: Checkpoints work during the day, and it will take some time to pull away the zombies. It was cold at night and I couldn’t go out.

The third reason for failure: due to the slow skiing speed and no car protection, it is impossible to ignore the zombies on the road.

According to the current situation, it is impossible for the two bases to form an alliance. Lin Wu thought of another way. In the second mission, the shadow white squad quickly arrived at the checkpoint side, and Lin Wu controlled the drone to hang a badge to deliver the goods. Since the weight of the badge is 0.01 kg, the drone took off smoothly, and delivered and received the goods smoothly.

But the day shift was still a step late in returning to the shadow base, about two minutes late, because the zombies blocked the way.

For the third alliance mission, Maya arranged personnel on the road and set off with her own badge. Since the fighters on the road eliminate the road zombies and prevent the zombies from spawning, Maya can concentrate on the road. Shana at the supermarket is also responsible for the security of an area. Lin Wu, who was on the road, estimated the distance and time and then released the drone. When Maya arrived at the checkpoint, the drone also flew to the checkpoint.

The final task was completed in the ninth minute, and the system judged that the shadow base and the supermarket base had successfully formed an alliance.

On the afternoon of the day when the alliance was successfully formed, the shadow army arrived in mighty force, ransacked the library, and crowded the passages of the small base. The two masters, Lin Wu and Shana, were driven to the dormitory. It doesn’t count that the shadow bandits occupied the base. They threw the ingredients brought from the main base into the hanging pot and started a hot pot.

But the situation is not as beautiful as they thought, because the supermarket base has no power supply. Although the fire was very bright, there was no place to lie down and it was uncomfortable. If you lay down, there would be no fire. But they all came, so they could only stay until eight o’clock in the morning the next day. The next day, Maya led everyone to the cement factory to chop up the blood zombies for a day. It was not until evening that Lin Wu and Shana sent the shadow masters away.
