State of Decay - Chapter 197

[Chapter 196 Development]

The two are familiar with the first level, and after easily eliminating them, Lin Ma occupies the electrical appliance exhibition area and reaches the edge of the blood fog. Lin Wu burst forward, Maya covered and pushed forward, and both of them entered the blood mist. Lin Wu sneaked against the wall, assassinated and executed the zombies one by one, and successfully advanced about 20 meters.   Then the attack team of Blood Mist appeared, forcing the two of them to retreat to the TV exhibition area. Lin Wu said a little dejectedly, “I can only eat

the masking agent.”

Yes. And there is only one minute, which is not enough to run back and forth. To search the supermarket, you must first get rid of the blood heart.”

Lin Wu: “To get rid of the blood heart, you need to search for materials first, and to search for materials, you must first get rid of the blood heart.” Logic beats logic.

Maya said: “I thought of the nightmare.”

Lin Wu seemed to know what Maya was talking about: “Her flying dragon claws are very powerful.” The pulling force brought by the movement can quickly drag her and fly to the position of the flying dragon claw.

“Almost.” Maya was thinking about all kinds of strange props possessed by Nightmare, and she believed that they would definitely be able to help her now. Maya said: “Let’s go.”

Lin Wu set off immediately, followed the Blood Mist team, and followed them, one by one, killing the Blood Mist team with only one left. The next step depends on luck. In order to avoid the blood mist group from attacking again, Lin Wu will follow the blood mist group. The blood mist team will try to stay away from the player within 15 meters, otherwise the blood mist will no longer be able to form a team to attack players in the blood mist. When Lin Wu followed the blood mist team, he had to pay attention to other zombies around him, and at the same time, he could not leave the blood mist team within 15 meters.

This is the flaw in the attack team sent by Blood Mist that Maya found after two attempts.

The main attribute of double agility makes Lin Wu move more quickly, the main force further increases Lin Wu’s endurance value, and the secondary attribute will reduce the consumption of endurance. Along the way, Lin Wu relied on the wind thorns to take the initiative to surprise the zombies he found, and followed every step of the way, closely following the last zombie of the blood fog group.

After the blood fog zombie walked to the hardware area, he wobbled downstairs, and Lin Wu immediately searched for the cabinets most likely to produce building materials. Looking at the search bar, Lin Wu watched the surrounding zombies vigilantly. A zombie three meters away took a step forward and saw Lin Wu who was squatting on the side to search. He growled and was about to attack Lin Wu. Lin Wu grabbed a bag of building materials and ran away immediately.

Although the movement was not big, there were too many zombies, and the running all the way alarmed many zombies chasing and killing them. Maya responded with a continuous crossbow, and when Lin Wu ran close, she ran away first, and Lin Wu caught up with her after a while. The two escaped from the iron gate one after the other, and ran all the way to the edge of the roof.

In the end, only three zombies chased out of the iron gate, and after wandering around the gate for a while, they went back.

Lin Wu breathed a sigh of relief: “If you take building materials like this, you will die short-lived.” Although Zuo County is rich in materials, it is also rich in zombies.

“Go back. You can build a branch base.” Maya said: “Currently, the building materials are enough for you to build a sentry post and a dormitory.” Lin

Wu was a little moved, but still declined: “Build the main base first.”

Maya didn’t seem to hear what Lin Wu said , said: “I don’t understand. After you built the sub-base, you spent most of your time shooting guns on the sentry post. But why are you absent-minded and not enthusiastic about work when you are working at the main base sentry?” Lin Wu replied: “Working at the sentry post

, I have work goals and responsibilities to eliminate nearby zombies. I am on the guard post of the sub-base, and no one cares about me even if I only aim but don’t shoot.” Maya nodded: “I’m afraid I’m not

doing well enough, or I’m worried that I can’t satisfy others. Looking forward to it.”

“Probably so.”

Maya said, “But I never think you lack self-confidence. On the contrary, I think you are very confident.”

Lin Wu thought for a while and asked, “Are you disappointed with Cui Yu? Maya

stopped, turned around and said, “Yes.”

Lin Wu said: “I believe that Cuiyu didn’t know what she did wrong at the time. No one told her that she couldn’t carry Timberwolves, and no one stopped her from carrying Timberwolves. She used Timberwolves when she was working as a sentry at the church on the top of Shadow Mountain. I feel ashamed that I lost my firearm, but she doesn’t know the seriousness of losing the Timberwolves.”

Maya understood a bit: “The main reason you don’t like collective life is that you don’t like the requirements of the collective. You don’t know when you will touch something. There are some rules, so you prefer small groups or activities alone. Just like the first time Shana died, Brother Soul Egg blamed you for not being able to protect, so after Shana was resurrected, you were very resistant to acting with Shana.” Lin

Wu Without denying it, I told a story of my own. Lin Wu joined the badminton club when he was in college, and the club organized badminton competitions in the university district, and the top three students could get certain credits. In the end, a female member of the club won the championship. She defeated the club leader in the penultimate match.

During the final, the vice-principal observed the game, chatted with Lin Wu, who was in charge of chores, about the live game, and mentioned the game where he defeated the team leader. The vice-principal knew the strength of the team leader, and he thought that the team leader deliberately lost the game in order to avoid suspicion and didn’t want to be in the top three. Lin Wu didn’t have much social experience, and to tell the truth, the team leader was the champion’s boyfriend. The vice principal immediately changed his face.

Later investigations revealed that in order to allow his girlfriend to get enough credits to change majors smoothly, the head of the team initiated a school-wide badminton competition, and also sought extra credits from the school. The consequences of this incident were very serious. The team leader and his girlfriend were expelled from school, and even the badminton club was banned.

Lin Wu: “I don’t think I’m at fault, but I know that I caused a series of consequences.” What the leader did was indeed wrong, but Lin Wu didn’t leak information on purpose, and no one warned him not to leak information.

Maya said: “You are going to the sub-base of the weather station. According to your personality, it has nothing to do with you to open a few sub-bases in the main base, but you still expressed your opinion. You suggest that I don’t open too many sub-bases, I’m worried Serious negative emotions appeared in the base.”

Lin Wu said: “That’s not a suggestion to the group, but a suggestion to you.”

Maya looked at Lin Wu for a while, and said, “Thank you.”

Lin Wu: “Happy to help.”

…

Back at the base, Stone forbade them to take risks in the blood mist area, and criticized the two of them, thinking that they didn’t understand the risks and benefits at all. Their behavior is equivalent to investing 1 million to earn 100 yuan, and the risk is extremely high. If you are not careful, you will lose all your principal.

Underground passages are also very risky in the eyes of stone, but the benefits are also high. Now the underground passage exploration team has been walking for two hours without any news, and Stone is quite disturbed by this.

The members of the underground passage expedition team are Shanna, Knife, Snow Egg and Peanut. Cui Yu, the sentinel on duty at the base, and Ma Hun assisted the air corridor team. Shi Shi asked everyone to rest at the base. He didn’t want to have no one in his hands when the underground passage group needed rescue.

Stone regrets that he did not prevent the grouping of the two routes. Lin Wu, as the most suitable person for exploration, should join the underground passage group, but in fact Shana was assigned to the corridor group for the small benefits of the air corridor. Shana is also a proud girl.

An hour later, the underground passage team came back safely, and Shanna reported her work progress: “I can’t get through, I need a blueprint.”

Maya said: “First find a regular sewer entrance, and open the route from the sewer entrance to the river drain entrance. Lin Wu?”

Lin Wu was playing with a drone, and the drone was flying low to search. Since there was no shining sign at the entrance of the sewer, he needed to confirm with the naked eye, so his work was not progressing fast. However, Lin Wu put forward his own opinion: “We don’t play very badly. The system will always leave a chance for players to survive. The sawmill we occupy is the base recommended by the system. Excuse me, do we occupy the sawmill? There is no means of development aboveboard?”

Maya said, “What’s your opinion?”

While controlling the drone, Lin Wu said: “I flew for an hour and found that although there are zombies on the road, the overall number is not many. The reason why we think that the number of zombies on the road is dense is because a group of about twenty The small corpse tide is constantly patrolling. At the same time, I found that the road provides players with many places to hide. For example, there are two mobile toilets at the crossroad 100 meters away. Clean baffles. I flew down the road and found that every 100 meters I could find a hiding spot that could accommodate multiple people.”

Maya said: “You mean the system wants us to travel through the road and use the cover to avoid the patrolling corpses Tide. Sneak into or capture buildings on the side of the road, search for supplies and then return on foot.”

Lin Wu said: “That’s right! Not to mention the tide of patrolling corpses, there are only about 10 zombies per 100 meters on the road, and there are no giants. There is at most one fierce. In contrast to the roadside buildings, such as the fire station closest to us, there are at least forty zombies and a giant Mac outside the building of 150 square meters. Speaking of this, I found a detail , I observed several buildings and found that the Big Macs are all outside.”

Shanna: “The system seems to be encouraging us to sneak into the building to search for supplies.”

Maya thought for a while: “Take back the drone. Peanut, get ready, and me And Lin Wu is on a mission together, let’s go to the warehouse next door.” The warehouse is located at the lower right of Tian Zi.

…

The trio did not choose the west parking lot of the main base, which is the closest to the warehouse, but chose to go out from the south gate to reach the road. Sure enough, as Lin Wu said, there is a hiding place on the road. When the tide of corpses was discovered, the three of them hid in the hiding place and waited for the tide of corpses to pass to move on. The zombies on the road were sparse, and Maya quickly cleared the zombies blocking the road with a continual crossbow. The three arrived outside the warehouse smoothly.

Maya looked back at the base, and Shana from the west tower of the base raised her hand and called, “Can you receive it?”

Maya raised her hand to indicate yes. Lin Wu pointed to the side of the warehouse. There was a flagpole on the side. Climb up the flagpole and you could directly reach the second floor of the warehouse. This way you can avoid the large number of zombies wandering outside the warehouse’s main entrance.

Maya whispered: “If the zombies blow up the nest, everyone flees for their lives and runs towards the base. The base will provide fire cover. Lin Wu, come on.”

“Received.” Lin Wu walked around the main entrance to the side entrance, and first killed the screaming and a zombie near the flagpole. Since the side space is narrow and there is no side door, there are not many zombies in this location. Lin Wu climbed the flagpole to a height of 15 meters, stretched out his left foot and stepped on the guardrail on the second floor, and then tried his best to reach the guardrail on the second floor of the warehouse.

Peanut and Maya followed, and the difficulty of climbing was not high. Even without agility bonus, they could easily reach the second floor by relying on endurance. Since it was the first time to infiltrate, Xiao Wai was left at the base.

The balcony where the three of them lived was the balcony of an office. The office was about 15 square meters in size, and both the balcony door and the main entrance were open. There are no zombies in the office.

After Peanut enters the office, he uses the exploration skill and quickly determines that there are 5 valuable items in the office. Exploration has a huge disadvantage, it can only find valuable items, not clues. If it is a simple search, it can be said to be a magical skill. In addition to determining the location of valuable items, my search speed is twice as fast as that of ordinary people.

The first valuable target was the drawer, where Lin Wu found some chewing gum and beef jerky. The second valuable target is the office drawer, which contains five boxes of cigars, which belong to the pastime of life like wine. The third valuable target is a metal electric baton in the closet. Simply put, it is a blunt weapon with a magic attack. When the zombie is hit, the freezing time is doubled, and it needs to be charged. It is a small best in the melee blunt weapon. It’s a pity that like most small best products, it cannot be repaired. Most looted melee weapons have the Unrepairable feature.

The fourth valuable object is a medical kit placed in the first aid kit, 4 units of medical supplies. The fifth valuable objective has a combination safe placed in the corner.

Maya spent 10 minutes checking the desk files and various text information, deduced the 6-digit password by means of factorization, and successfully opened the safe. Inside were diamond rings, gold necklaces, silver bracelets, and bundles of cash. In addition, there is a pistol and a box of 25 pistol ammunition.

These things are little rubbish for ex-Shadow. But for Shadow, who is now short of ammunition, 25 pistol bullets represent a fortune. Shadow currently lacks an effective financial system management, which leads to the same as the moonlight clan. When they are rich, they go to restaurants every day, but when they are poor, they can only sleep in the dormitory and eat instant noodles. Fortunately, they often get rich.

Going out from the main entrance of the office, there is an open office with a size of 50 square meters, with about 15 working positions. The original 15 zombies had been solved by Lin Wu when Maya calculated the password of the safe.

Peanut explored the overall situation and found seven valuable targets. Lin Wu sat on the computer chair and was about to open the drawer. Unexpectedly, the computer chair was in disrepair for a long time, the air cushion failed, and the seat sank, making a harsh friction sound.

Maya ran to the office without hesitation, took out her crossbow and turned around to be on guard. Lin Wu and Peanut also quickly retreated to the office. Five zombies and one fiercely ran into the open office from the corridor. They stayed not far from the office, and Lin Wu moved his body so that the two of them could hide behind him.

At this time, the system showed its ruthless side. The activities of the three caused the dust to roll up, and Maya, who inhaled a large amount of dust, had a strong desire to sneeze. Seeing that she couldn’t help it, Maya grabbed Lin Wu’s clothes in front of her, covered her mouth and nose, and sneezed muffled. The sound wasn’t too loud, but it wasn’t too small, enough for the zombies to spot the three of them.

Lin Wu took the lead in rushing towards Kuangmeng who was running towards him, and Maya shot at the other five zombies. The process was not complicated, and 6 zombies crashed to the ground. But they weigh a hundred kilograms anyway, and the sound of falling to the ground sounds particularly loud in a quiet place. When a zombie fell down, it even smashed the already broken fish tank, and the sound of broken glass was extremely ear-piercing.

Mayala Lin Wu entered the office, closed the door of the office, leaving only a gap, and let Lin Wu stay in the gap to observe. She and Peanut retreated to the balcony, ready to evacuate from the flagpole at any time.
