State of Decay - Chapter 218

[Chapter 216]

Lin Wu picked up the walkie-talkie: “Call, call, call anyone except the old stuff.”

Shana: “Hi, Lin Wu.”

Lin Wu asked: “Is the Resource Beach finished?”

Shana was silent for a while: “Yes.”

Lin Wu asked: “Is it the beach?”

Shana replied: “Yes.”

Lin Wu asked: “Is the experience good?”

Stone said on the side: “Don’t tell He, let him come back to experience it by himself.”

Shanna replied with a crying voice: “It’s fun.”

“Ah?” Was the crying voice in the performance deliberately misleading herself?

“Hung up.”

Lin Wu was puzzled, and took the intercom in a daze.

Maya, who was drinking hot water, said: “Resource Beach, as the name suggests, is rich in marine resources. How many marine resources can you see on the beautiful white sand beach?” “It seems not a lot.” It can be said to be very few

.

Maya asked, “Do shellfish like mud or sand?”

“Mud, right?”

Maya asked, “Crabs, do they like rocks or sand?”

“Huh?”

Maya said, “Coral is a favorite habitat for fish and many sea creatures. Actually, there is no coral on the seashore, which means that there is a lack of rich fish resources. As a resource beach, if my guess is correct, the seaside should be a reef, and there are clam fragments that will cut your feet. After entering the water, it should be a submerged reef. Because the beach is covered with mud Mainly, so the sea water will not be too clear.”

Maya: “The muddy beach and the coast full of reefs, these two things should not be together. Of course, I have another idea, the beach is built with stones, and the coast is not included. and sea water.”

Lin Wu said: “That is to say, we built a mud pit?”

Maya said: “The mud pit you mentioned is actually a holy place to catch the sea. Many shellfish like the mud pit the most, and the most common ones are clams. When I was a child, I spent weekends Going to the beach, I can dig 30 kilograms of clams in one morning.”

Lin Wu nodded: “If you say that, I think I can work here for another week. Damn! It’s summer, we not only have to go to the sea to dig clams for food. Clam, do you still want to be a farmer?”

Maya said: “This is survival. Have you finished drinking? Start working after drinking.” Maya didn’t say, after all, Shadow still has beaches and farms. To build a farm you must have the Agronomy skill. To build a resource beach, you need to use a universal card. For the former, everyone can still work hard, but for the latter, only hard work is not enough.

Before Su Shi proposed the beach, the three commanders had already discussed the issue of summer survival. Although the farm can maintain food and clothing, but the food is too simple. I have considered building a hunting ground, but the only hunter is doing nothing, which is really not reassuring. The ranch is also an option, but the ranch needs to buy expensive skill books, so it is not considered.

Compared with mountains and wilderness, the sea can provide humans with the most food, and it can even be said that there is unlimited food.

…

Maybe it triggered a certain game mechanism, or maybe it was very bad, and the third working day only earned 8 bottles of serum. You must know that on the first rest day, I only worked until 3 pm to get 20 bottles of serum. I started work at 7:00 am and finished work at 6:00 pm today, and only got 8 bottles of serum. Including the three hours yesterday afternoon, the temporary base has obtained a total of 37 bottles of serum.

There was still an hour before sunset, and the two seized the time to use the safe area to clean up zombies, and dismantled equipment to obtain wood and scrap iron. Now there are only 120 crossbow bolts left. After an hour of busy work, the number of crossbow bolts was replenished to 150. Relying on the recovery feature of crossbow arrows, it is barely enough for tomorrow.

The biggest problem is that Lin Wu’s fast gunner lock skill is ineffective against Liannu, so he can only use direct aiming. Although the distance was not far, Kuangmeng’s body was flexible, and three out of ten arrows were shot outside his head. Secondly, the zombies are eliminated first, and then the fierceness is eliminated, resulting in a lack of recovery time for the crossbow arrows that eliminate the zombies.

In order to save ammunition and avoid Lin Wu’s stinky hands, the two discussed the possibility of Maya leading the battle and Lin Wu assisting. Lin Wu is obviously not as dedicated as Maya, what if the recording slows down by half a beat? You can’t ask Lin Wu to be dedicated, he is just this tune. But Lin Wu has Lin Wu’s way.

The method is also very simple, hang Maya outside the 19th floor, and Maya can reach the tentacles with her arms. Knock out all the blood zombies and shoot them to death. After confirming their safety, Lin Wu put Maya down to touch the corpses. The advantage of this is that Maya has high precision, dedication, and does not touch fish. Lin Wu is easy to operate. The disadvantage is that it can only be played blindly.

The difference between the two lies in the distance of the rope. Lin Wu went straight to the bottom of the 19th floor and landed on the upper half of the 18th floor, about 2.5 meters above the crane. Maya can only reach the junction between the 19th and 18th floors, or she can hold her body with one hand and blindly knock on the possible location of the tentacles with a weapon in the other hand. Either head down. Obviously head down does not meet the requirements of the safety rope.

Maya asked: “How about another 50 cm?”

Lin Wu replied: “Standing fiercely on the window frame, jumping up and grabbing, I will definitely be able to reach you.” Raise your legs flat. Damn Shuguang, raising his legs actually consumes stamina? Can you believe it?

“Then give it a try.”

Lin Wu can’t be blamed for taking advantage of it, the work intensity is really a bit high.

They fought all day during the day, and at night they had to tear down the furniture in the base, then slept and kept vigil. There is almost no private time, not even time to think in a daze. So Lin Wu could only fish at work. After hitting a wave of zombies and touching the corpses, I stood on the crane to watch the scenery. The one-minute waiting time for a break was often delayed to several minutes.

Every hour of work, Lin Wu has to rest for ten minutes, make tea on the crane, and roll around. Maya did not urge Lin Wu. Adults only have the right to choose, not to change. Since you choose to work with him, you must consider his stink. Similarly, Lin Wu works with Maya, and he is also cooperating with Maya as much as possible. Normal Lin Wu usually works for one hour and rests for two hours in the face of boring mechanical work.

It’s a waste of time anyway, why not work?

Lin Wu didn’t know how to answer this question, he just didn’t want to do it, or he didn’t like the assembly line. Repeating operations like a thousandths of a second makes me feel that I don’t exist. Besides, looking at the world, there are only people who work as assembly line workers for money, and there are no people who like to be an assembly line and do it.

…

Early the next morning Lin Ma went to work on time. The beginning went smoothly. In two hours, Maya got 5 serums without any risk. Two hours later, something unexpected happened. The temporary base issued a system warning, and the siege would start in 10 minutes. Two-star siege, low intensity, 5 minutes long.

When it was almost time to siege the city, Lin Wu hung Maya in the air and went to defend the city by himself. This is Maya’s first passive fishing. In normal times, even if others are fishing, she will work hard, even if it is just to kill one more zombie. Those 5 minutes were 5 minutes she was forced to waste.

Zuo County is called Fog County by local residents in the system information, because of the high altitude and mountainous areas, most areas are shrouded in mist in the morning. When the sun drills out of the white clouds and shines in the mist, beautiful rainbows will be formed.

Looking into the distance, looking at the mountains through the mist, it brings a great sense of visual impact to Maya. It was only at this time that Maya deeply felt why Lin Wu would touch fish. Because there are too many beautiful things around me.

Lin Wu sat on the chair and waited, and finally two zombies came. After being beaten to death, Lin Wu continued to wait and wait, and two more came. After staying like this for five minutes, the siege battle was finally over and work continued.

Today is a very fruitful harvest, I got 25 bottles of serum, 62 bottles in total. But at the same time faced the embarrassing situation of shortage of crossbow arrows. Either spend a day searching and demolishing the 27th floor, and spend another two days working hard. Or retreat directly tomorrow morning. The key point is that if you only buy combat medicine skill books, you don’t need to buy reset skill books, you only need 4 currency units, and each serum is worth 0.1 currency units. Combat medicine is an upgrade skill of medicine, not a separate skill.

Lin Wu didn’t mention retreating, it was a kind of compromise between him and Maya teaming up. Unexpectedly, Maya proposed to retreat instead.

Maya said: “We shouldn’t waste our time here.” She felt that Lin Wu was right sometimes. Making money for money’s sake, wasting great time. Since you have no worries about food and clothing, you should spend your time on the things you are interested in doing and are willing to do.

Maya is also human, and she also hates assembly line work, but her self-discipline is strong and her endurance is high.

Lin Wu thought that Maya took care of herself: “I’m fine.”

Maya replied: “That’s it.”

“Why?” Lin Wu didn’t understand.

Maya said: “We need combat medicine, that’s why we came to get serum. At present, the serum plus inventory is enough to exchange for combat medicine, reset skill book and trade skill book. If we need other skill books, we will come again.”

There are various values and cultures in Blue Star. Residents in the region where Maya lives work very hard. In order to make money and a better life in the future, they arrive as early as possible and leave late as much as possible, and are willing to work overtime for overtime pay. The workers in the large area where Lin Wu is located like to make daily knots the most. After they have some money in their pockets, they don’t go to work, and they can do whatever they like, such as fishing, cycling, mountain climbing and so on. When you have no money in your pocket, come back to do a few days of daily work.

People in the Maya area think that people in the Linwu area have no life plan and can’t bear hardships. People in Linwu District think that people in Maya District are all machines, and the purpose of life is to work and make money. The two sides often fight wars of words on the Internet.

In addition, people in Mahun District often ridicule Xuedan District as a gourmet desert because they lack local food, and the engineering universities in Xuedan District rank first in the world. The employees in Shitou District are very obedient, and the workers in Sushi District like Ba Gong. People in Xiaodao District like to socialize, while Cuiyu District is mostly homesteaders.

The values of each district are different, which to some extent also affects the people who grew up in the local area, and the war of words is inevitable. Fortunately, the war of words only happens online, and everyone can tolerate and respect other people’s culture and habits offline.

…

The next morning, the two put away the rope, dismantled the base, packed the building materials into a building material package, and hid them together with a rope in the office next door. After doing everything, the two found that they were facing a slightly difficult problem. They came down by breaking the glass. The 27th floor is a high-rise building with a height of nearly six meters.

The two had no choice but to go back to the exhibition hall and bring in tables and chairs. The glass had been refreshed. Lin Wu got on the table and then on the chair. Maya stood on Lin Wu’s shoulder, barely touching the glass surface with her hand. Before Maya could figure out how to break the glass, Lin Wu asked Maya to come down.

When the two returned to the ground, Lin Wu explained, “As soon as you go up, I start to lose my stamina.” “

Change me.” Maya put the backpack aside and squatted down with the system command. Lin Wu also put down his backpack and stepped on Maya’s shoulder. Because of some shaking, he grabbed Maya’s hair. Maya endured the pain and stood up, only to find that she hadn’t lost her stamina. The reason is naturally Maya’s main force, which has a higher load threshold.

Going to the table and chair, Lin Wu climbed up Maya’s back with attribute bonuses and stepped on her shoulders. Maya let go of the armrest of the chair and stood up slowly: “Be quiet.” Although the zombies within 15 meters around It was cleaned up, but the sound of smashing glass will definitely be heard 15 meters away. Maya’s idea is that even if zombies are attracted, they must remain within 15 meters to prevent the glass from refreshing.

Why not take the stairs? You can go out the fire door, but when you go upstairs, you will find that the door has been locked. The door is a metal door, locked with iron chains, and the top and bottom of the door are locked. This level of lock is not something that Lin Wu can pick, he must have a subsidiary skill of agility ‘lock picking’.

Lin Wu speculated that some villains discovered that the executives on the 27th floor wanted to run away alone, so they locked the door.

Maya speculated: Because everyone threw old furniture and garbage on the roof, they locked the door.

Lin Wu took out a small dagger and started poking at the glass. The sound was not loud, but the damage was obvious. Maya looked up and said nothing. The first reason is that I have no better way. The second reason might really be poked open by Lin Wu. Past experience and lessons told Maya that Lin Wu can often do some unusual things.

The third reason is that sometimes a small hammer is better than a large hammer when a window needs to be broken. Filipinos have proven it with stupidity and many lives. The reason is that this kind of strengthened or tempered glass is the strongest in the middle, and only a hole can be punched in the middle, but the glass can be broken by hitting the edge with a safety hammer.

Lin Wu is obviously a person who has received compulsory education. After poking small holes in the surrounding area and then knocking a few times, cracks appeared on the entire glass. Lifting up the deformed and still connected glass, Lin Wu stretched out his hands and lay on the edge, pulling his body up. Maya lifted the soles of Lin Wu’s feet with both hands, and sent Lin Wu up.

Two ropes were found on the crane, and only one was hidden. Lin Wu used another rope to get Maya out smoothly. The following process was very simple and smooth. It took the two of them a lot of time to return to the sawmill from the air corridor.

After being processed by Cuiyu and the serum already in the base, Shadow currently has 77 serum needles. Before the Merchant appeared, Shadow had to deal with one more thorny issue, and that was whether to buy trade books. After you have the trade skill, you can get 50% off shopping.

Reset Book 4, Trade Book 4, Combat Medicine 2. 70 serums plus an assault rifle, and then use shotguns and pistols together, 10 units of currency can still be taken out. The key question is whose skills are washed away to learn trade.

Doctor Cuiyu, junior engineer Su Shi, and farmer Shitou can be ruled out. Lin Wu has the dual skills of hacker and hunter, so he definitely can’t wash it. The knife is lichenology, which can provide medical supplies for the base and cannot be wasted. Xuedan’s sound insulation technology is very unique, and it is not on the list.

The last skills that can be washed are Shanna’s Clothing, Horse Soul’s Cook, Peanut’s Exploration, and Mayaga’s team morale command.

Trade skills are relatively useless skills. To be precise, they have no other use except for discounts when doing business with NPC merchants. Players will not give you a 50% discount just because of your trade skills.

Clothes making is a magical skill in winter, it is useless in other seasons, and this skill is worthless after everyone has a set of ready-made clothes, but at present, everyone does not have a set of winter clothes.

The chef can use the system kitchen to cook the food on the recipe. Every recipe learned will increase the chef’s life limit. Who knows if there will be a chef missing in summer.

Exploration is an artifact for going out to search, it can quickly locate the location of materials, and the search time is halved.

The morale-boosting command theory provides a great help in daily cold weapons to kill zombies, but it has little effect on hot weapons.

Do you want to learn trade? If you want to learn trade, whose skills should you wash off?
