State of Decay - Chapter 214

[Chapter 212 Rest Day]

With the fall of the last zombie, the siege ends.

Lin Wu picked up Xiaowai and sat against the wall, put a bandage on himself, and gave Xiaowai a skill treatment. Shitou, who was ten years old, lost his image. He sat down near Lin Wu, leaning on half of the conference table, took out a serum from his backpack and gave himself a shot.

Stone seemed to have lost the strength to pull out the needle, allowing the serum needle to be stuck in his thigh. He swallowed a painkiller, took out two cigars, cut off the ends of the cigars, lit one of them and threw it at Lin Wu’s feet. Lin Wu lazily explained that he didn’t smoke, and stuffed the cigarette into Xiaowai’s mouth. Shi Shi took a deep puff of the cigar in his mouth, looked up at the sky, and slowly exhaled the smoke.

Shitou: “It’s more tiring than fighting with my ex-wife.”

Lin Wu chuckled: “Su Shi is still in the trunk.”

“If you don’t want to move, just let him stay, I’m too lazy to move.” Shitou looked Looking at the base situation, 15% of the supplies and 8% of the items were lost, including an assault rifle. The production room was completely destroyed, and the infirmary was half destroyed. If it had been changed before, he would definitely be furious, but now he doesn’t even have the strength to jump. It’s not that the body is weak, it’s that the spirit is too tired. The 10-minute high-intensity battle emptied the energy of a middle-aged man.

Fortunately, it was Lin Wu who was left behind today, and the consequences would be disastrous if someone else was replaced. Maybe Maya can also withstand it, but the result is very likely that Maya will die and be seriously injured, and even if all the bandages in the base are used up, the reinforcements will not be able to return.

When the reinforcements arrived, Su Shi had already been released, and was making nails to repair the conference table, which was the only big table by the campfire. Shitou and Lin Wu went to the infirmary to treat some bleeding and fracture injuries. Seeing that their injuries were so light, everyone, including Maya, underestimated the difficulty of this battle.

Lin Wu and Shitou didn’t claim credit, and didn’t even want to talk about the battle. Memories didn’t bring them joy, but only fatigue, and they couldn’t remember the details of what happened.

After ten minutes of treatment, the 7-person day shift set off again. They were notified by the system when they were climbing the water pipe, and the task had not yet started.

After the reinforcements left, Lin Wu and Xiao Wai continued to lie on the conference table and pretended to be dead. Don’t think that Lin Wu was lazy. Lin Wu was having a contest of wills with Xiao Wai, which was called: pretending to be a dead body. Also known as: play dead.

Shitou made tea on the sentry post, he drank Kung Fu tea, Lin Wu only liked black tea, and the two of them couldn’t pee in the same pot in this regard. The only change was that Su Shi accelerated the progress of making the birdcage.

Seeing that Su Shi was constantly busy in the newly built production room, Lin Wu said in the headset: “All 10 people are here, so it’s okay if you don’t install a birdcage. Half of the 10 people are not here, and you won’t need a birdcage if you install it.”

Su Ten replied: “Pretending is an attitude to life, and using it is a life choice. I don’t want to run a marathon because I don’t want to run, not because I can’t run.” Lin Wu: “

Su Shi, when did you get so deep?”

Shitou said “That’s right, it’s more connotative than mine.”

Su Shi didn’t answer, and asked, “Are there enough building materials? Do you want to demolish the beach first?”

Shitou replied: “Everyone is so lucky, so building a beach to recuperate is the right thing to do.”

Lin Wu frowned and said: “I always feel that this sentence is not as friendly as it sounds on the surface.”

Su Shi agreed: “I agree, I always feel that I have been tricked, but I can’t tell. Besides, why use the universal card to build the resource beach? Why does it take 48 hours for a beach?” It takes 10 minutes to relax on the beach, and you don’t need a universal card.

Shitou: “You two have villainous hearts.”

Su Shi: “No, based on what I know about you, I think there must be something wrong.”

Shitou smiled: “But I just can’t find the problem. Go to sleep, go to bed early, you slow down.” Talk slowly.”

With two middle-aged people, Lin Wu lived a slow life. Sunshine, natural wind, very simple. After a morning, the three of them basically didn’t communicate much. Lin Wu thought of Shana, as Shana said, it’s good to live such a life once in a while, but Lin Wu can’t bear this kind of life day after day.

At one thirty in the afternoon, the day shift went home and the task failed.

The mission on the 33rd floor was limited to 3 hours. It took everyone two hours to catch 42 zombies, and only one hour to research the identity of the Patriarch. After reading a lot of information, he was taken into the pit by Shuguang, sent the wrong person to the helicopter, and the mission failed. The only good news is that because of completing the task on the 34th floor, six of the seven people can use their fingerprints to unlock the elevator, and they can use the elevator to freely shuttle around the Zuoxian Hotel.

On the way home, Maya and Shanna kept discussing the details of the mission, only to discover that Dawn had set a trap and arranged for a person with an outstanding resume to confuse the public. The real head of the house is most likely a waiter with mediocre experience who was ignored by them. After the review, it was discovered that the waiter was also one of the family members, and everyone excluded all hotel staff from the beginning.

6 people drew lots, Maya, Peanut and Xuedan were drawn, and accompanied Shana to the bounty hunter hall to re-accept the 33rd floor mission. Shana originally planned to go with Lin Wu and let Maya and the others continue to search the mall, but they couldn’t find Lin Wu. The headset asked and learned that Lin Wuren was in the logging field north of the base of the weather station.

After spending a long time with the two elderly people, Lin Wu was full of energy. Considering that it would be more dangerous to act alone, he chose a lumberyard where zombies were sparse for leveling. To the north of the lumberyard is a forest plantation, and then the rolling mountains.

Now that Lin Wu’s method of dealing with zombies has been sublimated again, he sat on a wooden pier and gave the order: “Get up, drag over.”

Xiao Wai went up and knocked down the zombie, bit the arm of the zombie and dragged the zombie to Lin Wu. Up and down the result is a zombie. Then he drank tea and healed Xiaowai. Later, I found that doing this didn’t seem to increase my agility, so I took Xiaowai for a run. After running less than 100 meters, I met a rabbit at the afforestation farm, and one person and one dog switched to hunting.

Discovered the ranger’s hut during the hunt, and changed the hunting work into a search work. After the search was over, one person and one dog went to the nearby mountain waterfall to wash off. Accidentally found a player base transformed from an abandoned board house.

There is a player base beside the old forest in the deep mountains, which made Lin Wu and Xiao Wai curious, and they walked around the base, and suddenly the base was gone. It is basically certain that all members of the base were killed and the base was disbanded. They entered the former base and went around, but found nothing of value.

Seeing the sun setting, one person and one dog went back to play all the way. The games on the road included catching butterflies, long jumps, rolling in muddy water, singing in waterfalls, riding Xiaowai in water, Xiaowai dragging forest fog and many other items.

On this day’s holiday, Lin Wu adhered to the concept of vacation and happily went on a mountain tour. How many hours to drill the sewer? No, you messed up the mission I took, of course you will take the mission.

Lin Wu brought back a rabbit. He wanted to steal the fish by himself, but he didn’t expect the smell of barbecue to attract the knife. The knife was not satisfied with the taste, so he called the horse soul, who seasoned the rabbit, and finally six people shared a A two-kilo hare. Shitou was very satisfied with the rabbit, and made Lin Wu forget his original intention as a hunter, and made persistent efforts to try to bring back two rabbits every day.

It was after 9 o’clock in the evening that the sewer quartet went home. The good news is that they took on the task of the 33rd floor again. The bad news is that this time the task on the 33rd floor has been changed to: Inheritance. The background of the story is almost exactly the same, the Aisha family, the scientists, the rescue of the heir, etc., but the task name has changed from the original rescue to the succession.

For Maya, this change means that all the information obtained in the failed mission today loses value.

At ten o’clock in the evening, I planned to continue to stay behind and draw lots. This lottery is not only the meaning of staying behind, but also has the taste of a holiday. Since it is a holiday, it must be fair and just. Some people think that playing games should not be regarded as work.

At this time, Peanut said something: “I admire Shana the most, followed by Lin Wu. After going through the sewer once, I found that they are the most selfless people in the base, because they have drilled the most sewers.” Peanut

means , Daily work is also divided into grades and grades. Higher jobs can certainly treat work as play, but not many people like the drudgery of drilling the sewers. Everyone has their own opinion about drilling into sewers. But what is more unusual is that Shanna responded with silence to Peanut’s words, indirectly expressing that she doesn’t like spending hours in the sewer every day.

After solving the problem of survival and having no worries about food and clothing, people will naturally start to improve their quality of life. There is something special about the homeland game. Even if you are weak, you may challenge a giant. No matter how strong you are, you may be killed by zombies. Not many people have great enthusiasm for leveling. Compared with traditional games, Homeland is closer to real life, how to assign work, and how to live.

Considering that farming may be carried out in summer, the problem of how to distribute work has become the biggest problem facing the management at present. Handle it well, and the Shadowteam can move on. If not handled well, it may fall apart.

Stone proposed three plans, one is the centimeter system. For example, you can get two points for going to the sewer, 1.2 points for searching the mall, and everyone must complete 6 points every week. That is to say, if you are willing to drill the sewers 3 times, you can rest the rest of the week, or you can search with the team. Of course, the stone is just an example, and the determination of the specific score needs to be discussed by everyone.

The second plan is to confirm the job rotation. For example, Su Shi is definitely a logistics staff, and his position is irreplaceable, so he is not included in the rotation. Maya is the attendance captain and she does not participate in the rotation. One or two people who can be rotated take a break every day, and the others follow the team and obey the command.

The second option will lead to a decrease in work efficiency, but considering that the current base has no worries about food and clothing, there is some room for implementation.

Lin Wu did not participate in the discussion and hardly spoke. He still misses the life in the supermarket base, but he also knows that as the game is updated step by step, players must stick together to increase their chances of survival. It is very important to perform their duties in a group. A base needs field personnel as well as logistics personnel.

Slowly, the base will change from the original recognized rules to the provisions of the rules.

“The third plan is to confirm the freedom of posts. After confirming the positions or occupations of Su Shi, Maya and others, others can move freely. The standard is safety. When our resources are scarce, we will naturally strive to survive.” Stone further Explanation: “Maya asked, who will participate in the search tomorrow, three people raised their hands, and three people will go shopping with Maya tomorrow. Shanna asked, who will go to the sewer tomorrow, no one raised their hands, considering safety issues, cancel the trip. If Maya doesn’t like the search What to do? As the deputy commander, Maya must propose new work content. These work content is discussed by the commanders and needs to be done in the near future.” The third

plan is similar to the current operation method of the shadow, only some changes have been made to the details.

Maya stood up: “The Zuoxian hotel task is not necessary. Considering the labor required for the hotel task, I think the task can be suspended. Now there are two things to do, one thing is to continue to empty the mall, which is a long-term boring job , everyone can sign up according to their own preferences. One thing is to get blood serum from blood zombies in the air corridor. Deal with the infection.”

Maya continued: “There are no more than two people on rest every day, and these two people are not the ones off yesterday. If there are more than two people, for example, 4 people need to rest, compare the rest time of 4 people. If 4 people rest If the day is the same, it will be determined by lottery.”

Two people had the day before yesterday off, and the other two had the day before the day off, and those who had the day before yesterday off had to go to work. The biggest advantage of the shadow team is that no one is willing to be a parasite of the base. Everyone has the mentality of contributing to the development of the base and is willing to contribute their own strength.

Everyone approved Maya’s proposal and accepted the fine-tuned base operation rules. Lin Wu signed up for the air corridor. Considering that the air corridor is more dangerous, Maya was assigned to the air corridor group. As a doctor, Cuiyu tried her best not to leave the base too far, and was also assigned to the air corridor team. Her job was to transport supplies and pull ropes.

No one chooses to rest. Regardless of the spiritual aspect of making contributions, everyone is happy to go shopping in the mall. Although the things brought back are judged as garbage by the system, for them, they are consumer goods that can waste and kill time. If you don’t drink black tea, you won’t die, so why drink black tea? Therefore, the system will judge that black tea is rubbish, but Lin Wu likes to drink black tea. He is willing to waste time making and tasting tea every day. This is life. Perhaps this is also the biggest difference between humans and AI.

…

The area where the sawmill is located is the industrial area of Zuo County, where there are many factories and warehouses, as well as supporting facilities such as railway tracks, commercial streets, and schools. Office buildings are relatively rare. Although there is demand, the main function of office buildings is not purely for office work, but also for receiving customers and handling government affairs. Therefore, many office buildings are placed in the core area of a city.

There are not many high-rise buildings in the industrial zone. The tallest is the Zuoxian Hotel, and the next tallest is the Zuoxian Office Building. It is also the only commercial office building with more than 10 floors in the industrial zone. At the same time, it is also an office building that is the closest to the sawmill and can be reached through the air corridor.

Standing on an electric tower, Lin Wu handed the telescope to Maya: “About 1400 meters, passing through seven electric towers, connected to the top floor of the office building.” Maya said: “Is there a transformer on the top floor? This is relatively rare, but as long as it can be

guaranteed It is absolutely grounded, and the transformer can be installed on the top floor.” High-voltage electricity passes through the daily tower wires, which can only be used by residents after passing through the transformer.

Maya said: “What floor is Blood Heart on?”

Lin Wu: “It seems to be in the first half.”

Maya said: “We don’t have the conditions to cross the electric tower.” The rope is not that long. Even with such a long rope, Cui Yu couldn’t pull it back.

Lin Wu said: “The only way I can pull you is to take each tower as a unit. But this is a huge project and it will take a lot of time. If you really want to use the serum, first The first way is to get stuck, go to bed at 8:00 am on the first day, and leave around 1:00 am. Come back in the evening on the third day. This way you only miss one sleep.”

Lin Wu said: “The second way is to set up a temporary sub-base.”

Maya said: “Open a temporary sub-base in the blood mist area?” From time to time, the Blood Heart will mobilize a group of zombies to attack the players in the blood mist area.

Lin Wu said: “Well, take turns to watch the night and rest, and come back after a full week.”

Maya asked: “Can you bear it?”

Lin Wu said: “I can fish if I can’t bear it, all you need is a person who can watch every day.” Five hours a night.”

Maya said: “We need to bring two building material bags. What about food?” “

I think the office building should be able to find food, if not, I can also hunt mice.” Hunters hunt at least one suckling every day Animals, you can get a food for the base. But at most there is only one. Lin Wu regretted: “It’s a pity that the system only recognizes the animals that are hunted every day.” Otherwise, it would not be too convenient to kill a bunch of mice and put them in the backpack, and exchange one for another food every day.
