State of Decay - Chapter 316

[Chapter 311 X Town]

Hong Yi supported the slow-moving Maya: “You go and lie down on the hospital bed first, and I’ll check the situation.”

Hong Yi walked through the carriage and reached the flatbed carriage, and saw Lin Wu and Xiao Wai. Walking from a hundred meters away. Hongyi jumped out of the carriage and greeted him.

After meeting, Lin Wu asked: “Shuihua is dead?”

Hongyi nodded and asked: “Are you injured?”

“Healed by himself.” Lin Wu handed a night vision goggle to Hongyi: “Except for two broken guns , this is the only thing.”

Hong Yi accepted the night vision goggles with a hum, and walked to the flat car. Hong Yi pulled Lin Wu’s clothes and said, “Sit for a while.”

“Okay.” Lin Wu sat aside with Hong Yi.

The two sat in silence for a while. Hongyi grabbed Lin Wu’s right shoulder with both hands, put his head on his shoulder and cried, “I’m very sad.”

Lin Wu asked, “What are you sad about? Are you afraid that you won’t be able to see the water splash in a year?” “

Hongyi let go of Lin Wu and looked at Lin Wu: “This… this… you can’t say that.”

Lin Wu said: “I know, it’s parting. It’s a bit melancholy when a friend leaves.”

How should I say it? It doesn’t make sense to say it’s sad. After all, it’s a game. If you are serious, you will meet again sooner or later. But until Lin Wu spoke, Hong Yi was immersed in the grief of her friend’s death. So the angry Hongyi punched Lin Wu’s arm and rested his chin with one hand, thinking.

“What?”

Hongyi said: “I’m thinking about what kind of emotion I should have. I shouldn’t be sad or sad after being separated from my friends for a year. But as a couple, Qinglang must be sad. He has to be separated from Shuihua for a year, and my friend is sad. , I should be sad too.”

“But, they are lovers. If you want, we can meet in a few days.” “

That’s right, I’m sad, but I don’t know why I’m sad.” Hongyi suddenly figured out: “It’s because I was abandoned I feel that they will meet again soon and leave me here.”

Lin Wu said: “You are so worthless, you can come with us.”

“Can you take care of my emotions?” Hong Yi said: “My friend died and I can’t find a reason to be sad. I will be sad.”

Lin Wu said: “Qing Lang is sad, so you have to be sad.”

Hong Yi replied: “Qing Lang being sad is not necessarily a bad thing for him.”

” Oh?”

“This sudden separation of life and death will make him cherish the people around him even more. Their relationship will only be better after they reunite.” Red Yi wailed: “The most pitiful thing is me, a single dog, no one cares, even sadness A level lower than others.”

Lin Wu greeted Xiao Wai: “Go and comfort your sister.”

Hong Yi hugged Xiao Wai: “This crappy game allowed me to experience all the emotions at once. Loneliness, sadness, loneliness, ease. …”

“What about love?”

“You don’t want to pick up the pot you want.” Hongyi said, “Two boys and one girl have been living together for nearly a year. Can you believe that the single guy is the girl?”

Lin Wu said: “What you said is discriminatory.”

Maya walked to the flat car and said to the two of them: “It’s time to leave.”

Maya could not be the only driver, so Maya removed her position as Qinglang negotiator and promoted her to the position of driver. Qinglang seems to have adjusted her mentality and readily accepts this arrangement. Lin Wu wanted to comfort him, and Qinglang told Lin Wu that he was sad before because he really thought he had lost Shui Hua. After thinking about it, his mentality was very good, which reassured Lin Wu.

Qinglang asked Lin Wu a question: “Did you have a revenge mentality when you jumped out of the car to kill them?”

Lin Wu nodded: “I had some thoughts of revenge. At that time, there seemed to be a guide in my mind, which pointed out a route on how I should take revenge.

Qinglang said: “Lin Wu, you are very kind.”

Lin Wu was shocked: “Many people praise me for being handsome, and I admit it. Many people praise me for being hardworking, and I admit it. But you are the first person to praise me for being kind. ” .”

Qinglang said: “Then you should thank me.”

“Thank you!”

“You’re welcome.” The two looked at each other and smiled.

Maya said in the dormitory carriage: “Route X, which station do you want?” Hong Yi and Maya completed the detective mission last night, so they were rewarded with choosing the next stop.

There are many types of sites, including peaceful human towns, cowboy human towns, and thug human towns. In addition, there are blood mist towns, zombie towns, industrial towns, agricultural towns, factory towns, and checkpoint towns. etc. For example, agricultural towns are divided into agricultural and peaceful human towns.

The first choice is whether there are zombies, what type of zombies, or what type of humans.

The second choice is the attributes of the town, what type of town it was or is now.

The third option is special projects, such as an industrial town with a train modification factory, a carriage production factory, a train manufacturing factory, etc.

Watching Maya lay out a dense list of options, Lin Wu said: “You might as well not solve the case.”

Hongyi and Maya stared at Lin Wu with death, he had no idea that the process of solving the case last night was tortuous and suspenseful.

Lin Wu waved his hand: “Maya, you decide.”

Hongyi and Qinglang both agreed.

I would definitely not choose a zombie town, but a peaceful town. There is no shortage of supplies and there is no need for a trading type town. After much deliberation, Maya chose the manufacturing factory in Anning Industrial Town. I haven’t been to this place yet and I don’t know what it contains. Since there is nothing missing, let’s go and have a look.

Maya said: “Can the fortress agents know where we park? Will they ambush us there?”

In response to such a question, Lin Wu made a complaint: “Why can Fortress Agents know our parking lot? This is cheating.” Finally, he came to the conclusion: If someone among Fortress Agents purchases a

dynamic map, they can indeed know the route of the train, including Routes and stops passed. They use special point-based transportation to get to a location faster than a train. At the same time, they also have a flaw. They cannot kill the player and Shasha while the train is at the station. However, they can disrupt players’ plans and actions through tasks and other methods.

There are two best things about it. First, fortress agents can complete tasks in the town where the player’s train stops. Their completion of tasks can increase the difficulty of the player’s driving, or the environment of the next stop. Second, players can kill them anywhere in the town.

In addition, if you kill one fortress agent, you can get a bronze badge. If you kill three people, you can get a silver badge that Lin Wu currently wears on his chest. If you kill nine people, you can get a gold badge.

Maya arranges tasks: Lin Wu explores, Hong Yi does chores, Qing Lang takes a pistol and takes to the streets for revenge. Maya believed that at least one or two agents would go to the town to perform tasks. Judging from the current situation, the agents have no advantage in night battles, and the 2-3 small towns that the train passes through during the day will become their focus.

…

A train manufacturing factory town, an S-level rare functional town. The maximum parking time in the town is two hours, and the blood mist and black circle start to move after two hours. The reason why I say rare is because there are many carriage missions in this town. Everyone can pick it up at the train manufacturing factory, and after completing the task, they can get a card related to the carriage.

The task Lin Wu got was to rob a tomb. First, he needs to find the priest in the town. In addition to being a priest, the priest also works part-time as a volunteer. After you find the priest and complete his mission, the priest will pardon you for the crime of robbing a tomb and give you a key to the cemetery. After entering the cemetery, there was a puzzle. There were eighty-one graves in total. The name card Lin Wu got was burned by fire. The name is in English letters, with about half the number of letters unidentifiable.

At this time, you need to go to the NPC to ask for details based on additional information. For example, the details Lin Wu obtained were that there was once a foreign woman who fell in love with the lord’s son. She accepted the lord’s son’s proposal, but was poisoned to death by a jealous foreign woman. Based on the above information, Lin Wu must correctly spell out the target’s name by asking and reviewing the information.

Then find the target’s tombstone in the cemetery, dig up the soil, and take a ruby ring placed on the coffin. Finally, give the ruby ring to the train production factory mission to get random cards related to the carriage. The higher the degree of completion, the higher the value of the card will be.

For example, if Lin Wu didn’t get all the names of the target, but relied on guesswork to guess the cemetery, then the degree of completion would be relatively low. If you dig the wrong graveyard, you can get your prize on the coffin, but the mission fails and you are not allowed to take on the mission again.

After reading the mission, Lin Wu looked up at the sky. Couldn’t he simply kill an NPC? Hongyi looked at the task displayed by Lin Wu, which made her laugh non-stop: “Don’t talk about two hours, you may not be able to complete the task in two days.” “

What is your task?”

“Sing poetry.” Hongyi hid her face. Her task is to learn to sing the poem “Workers Have Strength” under the guidance of the NPC. The requirements are very strict and must be bel canto. Just like that. It’s a pity that she is just a little policeman. To complete the task, she must start from the most basic bel canto singing method.

The simplest task is Qingliang’s joint task, where he has to deal with code words with 137 male NPCs in a small town. Code word: I want to marry your wife. The other party replied: The clothes are very clean. After handing over the token, you can complete the task by bringing it back.

But after taking the mission, Qingliang wanted to cry. He randomly asked a worker to tell him a code word, and was chased for two streets by the worker with a hammer.

Maya’s mission is a real puzzle mission, and the mission only has four words: Master of One Word. Everyone thought it was difficult, but Maya suddenly broke through: “Find someone with the word handsome in their name.”

Lin Wu raised his chest and asked, “Is it okay to be handsome?”

Maya punched Lin Wu in the stomach and left. The system protects the train. Players are not afraid of fortress agents in small towns. There is nothing to explain.

…

Ten minutes passed, and Lin Wu was still stuck in the initial stage of the mission to find the priest. The town was not big or small, with streets and alleys, and there were people in the house. After inquiring, Lin Wu learned that there were three volunteer service offices in this town. After running to three volunteer service offices, he learned that the priest had returned to the church. He immediately drew his pistol and prepared to go to the church to execute the priest on the spot.

However, Lin Wu changed his attention again, because the surrounding NPCs showed no fear at all when they saw him pulling out a gun. There is nothing surprising in this. It is difficult for AI to simulate human emotions, and it does not understand the meaning of death. It is even more difficult for it to interpret complex emotions such as the fear of death, the sweetness of happiness, anger and pride. Therefore, in the Dawn setting, except for a very small number of NPCs specially designed for it, most NPCs have an indifferent attitude towards death. Even if someone kills someone on the street, the panic they show is very fake.

Of course, it was not because the NPC calmly faced him with his gun, which caused Lin Wu’s suspicion, but because there was an NPC who deliberately turned his face sideways, and his actions showed his inner panic.

“Uncle, stop.” Lin Wu shouted, and the cowboy man quickened his pace. Lin Wu could not determine his identity, so he used the walkie-talkie to call for support. After a while, the uncle cowboy was blocked on the street.

Maya asked: “Fortress agent?”

“Yes.” The other party admitted generously.

This makes everyone feel a little weird. Previously, the gap between players and NPCs was relatively large and it was easy to judge. Not only did this cowboy uncle’s clothes fit well, but his movements and behavior were very close to those of an NPC. If he hadn’t deliberately avoided looking at Lin Wu, Lin Wu would not have doubted him.

The other party was very bachelor and said: “I don’t have anything with me. I will be resurrected two hours after my death. Please do so.”

Maya said: “After all, it takes two hours. Why don’t you tell me why you are so like an NPC? I will let you go.” .”

The other party: “I refuse.”

Lin Wu said: “Brother, what you are doing is wrong. Since you have been discovered by us and you are unwilling to cooperate, we can only take some inhumane methods.” “

What method?”

“Forcing a confession. !” Lin Wu explained: “You said you have nothing on you, so you can’t commit suicide. The system rules that you can’t attack us, and you can’t fight back. Although death is not terrible, the pain is real. After breaking both of your legs , you won’t be very happy if we leave one person to repair you for two hours.” Lin Wu was not sure whether the system would interfere with the abuse of fortress agents, but Lin Wu felt that the other party probably didn’t know either.

The other party was silent for a moment and said: “20 points can be used to dress up in the style of local residents.”

Maya nodded: “Qinglang.”

Qinglang raised the gun and hit the opponent with the butt of the gun to break the full state, and then shot him to death. Lin Wu stepped forward to touch the body. As he said, he really didn’t carry anything.

Maya looked around: “They are doing tasks here, pay more attention to the NPC’s eyes. Don’t kill before confirming the identity, otherwise you will be punished.” “Understood.” Everyone replied,

scattered and continued to do the task.

After more than an hour of hard work, two more fortress agents were killed by the Orient Express. Without exception, they were dressed in NPC costumes and their faces had been systematically plastic surgery. Lin Wu even suspected that one of the women was a nightmare or a blood dream. , but the other party did not admit it or explain his identity.

Maya was very uneasy about this. Most of the fortress agents had united together. They gave up other targets and focused on the Orient Express.

In this town, only Maya and Qingliang, who was beaten into a pig head, completed a mission and obtained two cards. The first card is an armed carriage, which is actually a buying and selling carriage for weapons and ammunition. The price is 50% lower than the market price. In addition, the armed carriage also provides weapon modification or addition work, provided that the player can find the appropriate accessories.

The second card is a defensive crossbow. Like the searchlight, the defensive crossbow can be installed on the top of any carriage. It is powerful, automatically loaded, and requires no materials. There are two disadvantages. One is that the reloading time is 10 seconds, and the other is that it can only be used in the 10-minute defensive battle after the train derails.

Using the armed carriage, Maya used excess weapons as materials to upgrade the defensive crossbow to an automatic turret, and converted the firing of crossbow arrows into firing rifle bullets. The reloading time increased by two seconds, but the lethality and rate of fire were greatly improved.

Maya’s explanation of the upgrade: “We have sufficient train repair materials and weapons and ammunition reserves. The fortress agents want to defeat us, so derailing the train is the best way. I think they are doing tasks in the town to collect more system materials. Therefore, we need to be prepared for a defensive war.”
