State of Decay - Chapter 236
[Chapter 231 Mountaineering Team]
At eight o’clock in the evening, the command post has lost contact with Shana’s team. This is the shortcoming of simulation. The data in the game says that there is no discount for five kilometers, but after simulation, you need to consider issues such as terrain and magnetic fields. Fortunately, the drone was not restrained. From a distance, Shana’s team was seen camping on the hillside below Wangfu Cliff. The campfire has already been lit, and the three of them are collecting wood.
At the same time, people at the base also use their spare time to stockpile timber. Taking advantage of the new rules in spring, cut more logs from the parking lots on both sides of the base. After all, only the devil knows what will happen when summer comes.
Shi Shi and Maya took stock of the base materials, and they considered the worst simulation situation. The first is food, because there are two major sources of food, the beach and the farm, there will be no major problems. The second is medicine, which needs to urge the knife to dig more herbs. The water source is not a big problem, there is a small river at the back door, and the water purification tablets can be made through the infirmary.
Although ammunition is scarce, it is more than enough for self-preservation unless the unlimited ammunition at the base is cancelled. If you want to cancel infinite ammo, you must cancel the noise threat system and the siege system. The most troublesome thing is gasoline. Gasoline is a non-renewable resource for players. Except that the invincible base will increase gasoline every day, or the advanced skills will increase gasoline every day. If you use a little, you will use less.
No gasoline means that the player’s range of activities is reduced, and in the end they can only defend the base. Looking at the pickup trucks and other cars at the base, none of them are fuel-efficient cars.
Su Shi, who was passing by, rarely joined the discussion between the two commanders: “We need basic materials.” “
Why?”
Su Shi said: “The sawmill has gates in the south, east, and north, but only the gates, and the other positions are separated by iron mesh fences. It is said that these fences are invincible facilities. If they enter the simulation system, the fences will definitely be damaged, and materials will be needed to repair the fences.”
Maya added: “Our base is very large, and the larger the base, the larger the area of the fences that need to be repaired.”
Stone asked : “Besides the base material, is there any proposal?”
Su Shi said: “There are a lot of logs piled up in the east and west parking lots. We can take the logs and punch them into ground piles and arrange them into fences. This will strengthen the strength of the iron mesh fence.” Shitou said, “It’s a huge project.
“
Maya said: “Or use the car, park the car outside all the fences to block the impact of zombies except the giant and fierce.”
Lin Wu drifted past: “Or change the base.”
Shitou and Maya glanced at each other , Lin Wu hurriedly floated back: “I’m joking.” Don’t take it seriously.
Maya pulled out the map of Zuo County and pointed to the fire station base in the south of Zuo County: “The fire station can reach Beicheng by walking eastward, and Beicheng can also be reached by walking westward from Right County.” Stone pointed to some buildings on the edge of the map and asked, “What is this place?
” Maya
said: “There is no label, it should belong to the Beicheng system. Judging from the geographical location, it is a commercial wharf. I judge that the Zuoxian River flows into the sea from here.” “Guys, we have only been to the sawmill for more than a month.”
Lin Fog doesn’t want to move. In order to move to the sawmill, Shadow held countless meetings and conducted 4 scoutings. The church on the top of the mountain stayed for six months, and the sawmill had to stay for a year anyway.
Shitou said: “You country bumpkin know nothing. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. You need to leave a way for the company at all times.”
Lin Wu retorted: “Don’t you capitalists like leverage the most?”
Shitou said: “Enterprises are different from capital. Capital pays attention to profits. The life and death of enterprises has nothing to do with them. But enterprises must consider diversification in order to survive.” For example, a manufacturer with a thousand employees only makes accessories for one big brand. Logically, if they excel they should survive just fine. But what about big brands overturning? Such as Nokia, such as Kodak. But if the factory has multiple other businesses when it takes over the Nokia business, it can shift its focus to other businesses when Nokia rolls over. Maybe life is not so moist, but at least I can survive.
Maya agrees with Stone, saying: “We don’t know the degree of simulation, and it is difficult to estimate the changes. Therefore, we must have a backup plan. Finding a base that we can evacuate and provide us with a place to stay is one of the things we should do. Maya
pointed to the map: “Take the 10-kilometer off-ramp of Highway 99, you can reach Beicheng Road, and then drive more than 10 kilometers to reach the edge of the map. Look at this railway track, which is directly connected to the edge of the map, which is what I think of as Beicheng Wharf. The goods in the industrial area are transported to the wharf, and then transported to the rest of the world by ship. It is very logical.”
Lin Wu said: “I think it is better to take the road.” Take the second place, and you must not walk along the railway tracks The idea of walking to the pier.
Maya looked at Route 99 for a long time, and pointed at the table: “Here, the drone should be able to fly to the pier.”
Lin Wu reminded: “Sister, this is the table, which has exceeded the edge of the map. This road is yours. Imagine it?”
Maya looked at Lin Wu and asked, “Did you forget that there is a traffic map on Route 99?”
Lin Wu remembered that there was a traffic map on the side of Route 99, and there was a road named Lemon 250 kilometers away. small town. Lin Wu raised the bar: “What if the road is curved?”
Maya: “Then straighten it. You go back to the base of the weather station to watch Shana and the others.”
Lin Wu: “Even if they are taken away by wild beasts, we I can’t help you either.” It’s a result whether you look at it or not.
Maya said: “At least we can know why they didn’t exist.”
Lin Wu drifted away, whatever you said was what you said, and only drifted past the meeting when your mind was out of order.
…
After a night of nothing, Shana’s team began to climb Wangfu Cliff in the early morning of the next day. Unlike the peaks that Lin Sha climbed before, there is no road on Wangfu Cliff. The fire watchers arrive at Wangfu Cliff by helicopter, and the simple equipment and facilities above are all transported by helicopter.
Lin Wu took a sip of tea and continued to report: “But Shana didn’t come unprepared. Facing the steepness of Wangfu Cliff, Shana calmly took out a bag of potato chips from her backpack, and the three of them ate The discussion started around the cliff. Shana said: It is very steep. Peanut said: I can’t go up. Horse Soul said: Let’s go home. So they continued to eat potato chips. At this time, Peanut seemed to think of a way. He took it from his backpack …The thermos cup! It seems that he intends to take a sip of water. He drank, drank, took two sips, two full gulps.”
Maya said helplessly: “I asked you to explain everything in detail, not to tell you a story.”
Xiaodao Impatiently asked: “Lin Wu, do you think they can go up?”
“It’s hard to say.” Lin Wu can use drones to transport ropes, but they can bear limited weight and cannot fly high. Wangfu Cliff is 200 meters high, and it is not difficult to see from a distance, because the slope to the south is not very steep, and there are many small trees. But no one knows the depth of the roots of the small tree. One may roll off if one does not step on it firmly.
Lin Wu, Maya and other nightmares were resurrected and continued to do A1 tasks, so they were basically free in the morning, and everyone drank tea, ate snacks and chatted. Reminded by Maya, Lin Wu confirmed that the three of Shana began to climb from the south. At this time, there was a quarrel in the west parking lot, Xuedan: “You are right, it is all my fault.” Xiaodao
: “Why do you shout so loudly when you know you are wrong? Let me ask you, what is wrong with you?” “
I , My fault is that I am alive.” After finishing speaking, Xuedan left angrily.
Seeing this, Xiaodao also got angry and said: “What do you mean? You come here, Laozi Shudaoshan. Mountain…”
Xuedan stopped. When Xiaodao counted to two, Xuedan went back obediently, and patiently said: “I think the base needs us.”
Xiaodao shook his head: “No, you are impatient.”
Xuedan: “I don’t.”
Xiaodao said: “You are, Why don’t you tell me what the base needs you to do?”
Xuedan began to think, and it seemed that the two missions of the base had nothing to do with him, Xuedan said helplessly: “It seems not.” Xiaodao
: “So?”
Xuedan apologized: “I was wrong?”
Xiaodao: “What’s wrong?”
The following conversation was not the sound of a quarrel. The reason why Lin Wu could hear it was because he sneaked to the west parking lot after hearing the quarrel. Maya threw stones at Lin Wu in the backyard. When Lin Wu came back, Maya hadn’t spoken yet. Stone, who was sitting in a chair in the farm field, had a rare serious expression on his face, and said seriously, “They might break up.” “Break up?” Lin Wu and Maya approached and asked in a low voice
. .
Shitou said: “From their conversation, we can know that Xuedan has never told Xiaodao about her true feelings, and her relationship with Xiaodao is mainly coaxing. A man’s patience is passing faster than he thinks. On the contrary, a woman is The more times you coax, the greater the demand, and you will even deliberately be unreasonable to get your lover’s care. There is a certain subordination relationship between men and women, but this subordination position is not fixed.” Lin Wu understood: “Some things are up to
you , some things I call the shots, and some things we discuss together.”
Shitou nodded: “This is the most basic respect. Seeing that they have formed a complete subordinate relationship, Xuedan obeys Xiaodao. Xiaodao has a good personality, but Xuedan is voluntary. Giving up all the power will cause Xuedan not to be respected by Xiaodao. Xiaodao can’t know where the red line of enough is enough. It may even be misunderstood that the lower the red line is, the more Xuedan loves her. I think they understand love from the beginning There are mistakes, so the relationship cannot last long.”
Lin Wu said: “The so-called licking the dog does not end well.” “That’s
right, disrespecting yourself for the sake of pleasing others makes it difficult to gain the respect of others. Of course, this is not the case in some workplaces. Loyalty It is the quality that some bosses value the most.” Shito added: “Like the ancient emperors, they don’t care how much the ministers contribute to the country, they care more about whether the ministers are completely loyal to themselves.” Maya also heard something, and said
: “Xiaodao can’t give Xuedan glory and wealth like the emperor, and Xuedan can’t always treat Xiaodao as the apple of his eye. In the end, there will inevitably be conflicts between the two. Since they judge the depth of love by each other’s tolerance, the matter It will only get worse. The wedding is just a trigger, and it is completely their private matter.” In the collective life, there has never been anything that only belongs to snow eggs and knives, except this wedding.
Shitou: “That’s right.”
Lin Wu was dubious: “Old man, are you so good?”
Shitou smiled and did not answer, while Maya said: “He can catch up with his wife and divorce her. His inference should be ok Believe it.”
Lin Wu said: “The ex-wife breaks the stone? Divorced men also have the nerve to talk about love?”
Shitou said: “I divorced because I saw that our conflicts are irreconcilable, and we will not give in. After we talked peacefully, in the Divorce before the conflict breaks out, and end the marriage decently.”
Lin Wu asked curiously: “What conflict?”
Shitou said: “It’s a long story, kids, don’t worry about it, just do your own business.”
“Cut.” Lin Wu pulled Come to the drone interface: “They are climbing… They use the safety rope method to climb, which is quite an idea.”
Peanut goes up first, takes the rope to reach a certain point, and then wraps the rope around the body and bypasses the strong trees. Even if Peanut stumbles, the friction of Shana, Horse Soul and the trees is enough to hold Peanut. Peanut climbed about 20 meters, using the rope to pull the lighter Shana into place first, and then the horse soul. The three of them continued to advance on the steep cliff through a rope and such a relay method.
About an hour later, the three of them successfully climbed to the top, and soon the system notified all members of the sawmill: Shadow occupied the Fire Tower Heights and gained artillery support skills. The three of them clapped each other’s hands in celebration on the cliff. But what happened next made Lin Wu and the others a little worried. The three searched the Fire Watch Tower, and each got a material package and a lot of items.
This will greatly increase their weight. In theory, as long as it is within the weight threshold, it will not affect the character’s movement and stamina consumption. But that’s for normal running and walking and doesn’t include climbing cliffs. And going up is difficult, going down is even harder, and they only have two ropes.
What happened next proved that knowledge trumps everything. Shanna designed a double rope set, using the A rope to slide down to the location, and then pulling the B rope, after the B rope was straightened, the A rope was untied, and the three dragged the rope to the location. According to the gourd painting, Shanna’s team came down from Wangfu Cliff easily and smoothly.
Seeing that Shana’s team had finished the most difficult test and that it was time for the resurrection of the nightmare, Maya and Lin Wu began to discuss the A1 laboratory. Half an hour later, the nightmare came back to life, and I almost vomited blood when I checked the positions of myself and my spouse Shana. She was resurrected one kilometer away from Shana, halfway up a stone mountain.
The key is that after she died, she was not a member of the weather station and could not get in touch with the ally base. The only good news is that she is a bastion agent, and the weapons in the backpack are still there. But where the hell is this? The only way is to find Shana. There is Shana’s location on the electronic map, but there is only Shana’s location.
Straight-line distance 1.5 kilometers, southeast direction.
…
Lin Wu looked at the time and asked Maya: “The nightmare has been resurrected for an hour, why is there no sound at all?”
Before Maya answered, there was a reply from the command post. Stone walked over slowly, sat down, picked up the intercom, raised his feet, and pressed the intercom button: “Who is it?”
Horse Soul: “Shana is lost.” Horse Soul’s voice was loud, and everyone heard Surround me.
“Lost it?” Lin Wu asked. He thought about death, injury and other possibilities, but he didn’t expect to lose it. Throw it out? Or lost?
Ten minutes ago, Ma Hun and Peanut descended the stone mountain. Peanut got off first, Ma Hun and Shana retracted the rope, and Ma Hun went down again. Shanna uses two ropes to form a noose, which means that pulling the B rope will untie the A rope. Shanna was the last to go.
But Shanna didn’t come down, and neither did the rope. Pinto waited for a while and called Shana to no avail. Peanut ventured to climb back to the noose with his bare hands and found that the rope was still there, but Shana was gone.
After Ma Hun finished speaking, everyone looked at Lin Wu. Lin Wu checked the cemetery of the weather station: “There is no grave for Shana.”
Stone asked: “Where can I go?”
“I don’t know.”
