State of Decay - Chapter 344

[Chapter 339 Investigation]

The pickup truck passed through the pass and entered the U-shaped highway in the small town of Lemon. Under Lin Wu’s guidance, Shana drove the car to the place where Lin Wu camped last time: a small beach. Lin Wu got off the horse and stretched out, while Shana, who was holding the chicken coop, looked left and right, even reaching into the crack to search.

Su Shi couldn’t help but ask, “Lin Wu, where is the base?”

“The base? Let, let.” Lin Wu waved to the three women and Su Shi to get out of the way. Then he strode forward, his energy drained from his Dantian, and after a roar, a tent appeared on the ground. At first it was only as big as a palm, and then slowly grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When Da Shuang saw this miracle, his jaw almost dropped to the ground. He looked at Lin Wu and asked tremblingly, “Lin Wu, are you the GM?” “

Haha.” Pretending to be 13, I am a professional.

Shana, who was well-informed, snorted and said, “It’s a nomad’s tent.”

Lin Wu reached out and patted Shana on the head: “You are the only one who talks too much.”

Shana wanted to fight back, but Lin Wu said, “How dare you hit me? I won’t let you hold Xiao Wai.”

“Hmph!” Shana turned to look at Phantom: “I don’t want to hold Xiao Wai, I want to ride a horse.”

“Can’t ride.” Lin Wu explained: “It’s not that I’m stingy, the black horse Phantom is The exclusive mount can only be used by me. Although White Horse Sandstorm is not an exclusive mount, you need to be in contact with it for a long time to reach the most basic level of friendship and goodwill. You can only ride it with the consent of its owner.”

Lin Wu greeted everyone: “Don’t be in a daze. The tent will still be long for three hours. Sleep when you need to, fish when you need to, and do whatever you need to do.” I don’t know what to ask you to do. You can also sit and watch the tent grow.

Su Shi curiously asked, “Old Lin, where did you get your tent?”

Lin Wu replied, “Twenty thousand points for the train event.”

“Twenty thousand?” The three women’s eyes widened instantly.

Lin Wu asked: “How many do you have?”

Mian Mian turned over his hands and replied: “87 points.”

Lin Wu thought for a while: “Not low.” Apart from this word, he didn’t know how to comfort Mian Mian.

Dashuang asked: “How did you get 20,000?”

“Spider-killing train. Ask Maya for the specific details. I was basically sleeping the whole time and didn’t know anything.” The more questions he got, the more answers he got. I can’t say this without drinking a small drink. Even the stream cannot quench my thirst. Lin Wu saw that Da Shuang still wanted to ask, so he spoke first: “Maya and I have stayed here for two days. It’s very safe. Feel free to everyone, I have to go horse riding. As the saying goes: If you don’t walk for a day, we will be separated by hills. There will be a hill in the middle of the relationship.” You may not believe it, but your attitude is very clear: don’t ask me, just ask Maya if you want to know. Ever since elementary school, what Lin Wu hated most was quizzes. My favorites are of course the true-false and multiple-choice questions.

As for who to recruit, how many weapons to have, how to capture the new base, and how to arrange the work, that is Maya and Shana’s business. Lin Wu still liked to play alone and didn’t want to be caught in the middle of three women answering questions. As for Su Shi, since he rarely goes out for a walk, he should seize the time to enjoy the scenery.

The main reason was that he and Su Shi had no topic of conversation. They both liked each other, but they couldn’t start a conversation.

After Lin Wu got on his horse, he wanted to go back and check on the armored vehicle. Maya’s voice came from the headset: “Call Lin Wu.” Being able to get through meant that the distance was not far, but it was only a straight line distance.

“I’m here.” Everyone in the front shadow has a headset. After everyone joined the march base, they realized communication with each other. Marching Base is the real name of the tent base. From this point of view, Lin Wu and Maya’s naming attitudes are very casual, and their levels are about the same.

Lin Wu was not convinced by this. For example, Xiaozheng, who is so good, could not be called a phantom. In terms of taste, Maya was not as good as him.

“We have been operating around the U-shaped highway before. It is best for you and Shana to infiltrate, and it is best to take a route.” Maya said: “Shanna, please go and run with him.”

Shana: “Okay.”

Maya said: “Pay attention to water pump plants, water plants, substations and other similar places.”

“Understood.”

Maya: “Call Cotton and Dashuang.”

“I’m here.” They both answered in unison.

Maya said: “You can see many villas while walking around, some of which are inhabited by NPCs. Let the NPC find you, and then observe his behavior. Pay attention to one thing: if the other party does not fire, you cannot shoot. Even if the other party fires, you should not fight with them. If the other party engages in battle, use the height difference between the roads to withdraw to the base immediately. Be sure to pay attention to safety.”

“Understood.”

Maya said: “Su Shi, you are responsible for guarding the house. After the tents are set up, expand the dormitories, build kitchens and wards. In addition, everyone Only bring one melee weapon. If you have rich iron resources, give it to Su Shi, who will make a spare weapon for everyone.”

Maya finally said: “We may have to arrive a little later.”

On a downhill slope Finally, the armored vehicle used its inertia to travel hundreds of meters on the road. The problem now is that we are still about a hundred meters away from the next downhill slope. Let’s start the armored car. It has to be turned off after walking a hundred meters. It feels like a loss. So Shitou came up with a bad idea: let’s push.

A man is a boy until he dies. In order for the armored vehicle to reach its destination smoothly, Shi Shi’s decision and attitude are not like a boss at all, but like a little boy who runs home in the rain to watch cartoons on time, even if he falls and bleeds on the road, even if he catches a cold from the rain , and couldn’t stop him from wanting to go home.

…

Lin Sha tied on the rope and slid down more than ten meters from the roadside to the small town. Shana followed Lin Wu into the villa and got into the front yard. The two of them observed outside the iron gate of the front yard for a while, and then turned over from the front yard to the road. As soon as he stepped onto the road, the flashlight of the monitor on the roadside flashed twice. Lin Wu stopped and looked back at Shana, who motioned for the two of them to go back.

Lin Sha returned to the villa and waited for about a minute against the iron gate. A propeller drone flew over the road, stayed at a height of 20 meters, and continuously scanned the surrounding area with red light. At this time, the owner of the villa next door went out to check the situation. The red light stayed on him for a few seconds and then retracted, continuing to scan the surrounding area. The owner next door returned to his house as usual.

“Stay here.” Lin Wu said and turned out, walked to the road, and faced the red light. He did not find that the drone was carrying a gun barrel. Based on Lin Wu’s understanding of drones, drones are divided into two categories, one is propeller reconnaissance drones, and the other is fixed-wing combat drones. The former is slow, lightweight and has a long battery life. The latter has fast flight speed, heavy weight and short endurance.

The red light stayed on Lin Wu for a moment, and then the drone pounced on Lin Wu. When Lin Wu saw this, of course he ran away, with the drone in hot pursuit. At the critical moment, Lin Wufeng stabbed the zombie in the back. The drone hit the ground where Lin Wu was before and exploded, killing the zombie on the spot. Although Lin Wu didn’t eat the shrapnel, he was still swept up by the shock wave and hit the street lamp.

This movement instantly alerted the nearby zombies and NPCs. The NPC walked out of the iron gate and looked at Lin Wu, as if watching a movie. He had no expression and didn’t say a word, just watching. But zombies are different. They come from all directions.

“Get out!” Lin Wu said, passing between the two villas, raising his hand to kill the two zombies blocking the way with his pistol, and ran towards the stone wall.

Shana, who had already reached the rope, took out her pistol and prepared to cover Lin Wu. Lin Wu shouted: “Go first.” Don’t delay me climbing the rope.

Shana put away her gun and went up the rope, and Lin Wu then followed the rope back to the road. Standing on the side of the road, he saw four drones flying from the direction of the airport. Lin Wu said, “You go first.” Lin Wu

stood there and waited quietly. The four drones emitted red light and scanned over. They arrived. At the scene of the drone explosion, they searched separately. One of them flew close to Lin Wu’s head, but did not cross the boundary between the road and the town, and the red light it illuminated did not cross the boundary either.

“Hi, I’m here.” Lin Wu shouted.

The drone seemed unaware and continued to scan the area, not even missing a single patch of grass. Lin Wu threw a stone towards the back wall of the villa. The sound immediately alerted the drone, and red light instantly illuminated the spot where the stone landed. After about 5 minutes of fussing, the four drones left and flew towards the airport.

Shana, who was in the distance, could see it clearly. She walked to Lin Wu and said, “The search radius is 100 meters, and the search area is nearly 30,000 square meters. They are all suicide drones. We were photographed, and there were no The arrival time of human and machine is 1 minute. That is to say, once we are photographed, we must leave 100 meters within 1 minute.”

Running 100 meters in 1 minute is a very simple thing. If ordinary people perform normally, they should At about 13 seconds. But it was running at full strength, not to mention the sound of footsteps, the sound of breathing after running could wake up the sleeping zombies. In addition, the actual route must be considered. Entering through the wall will definitely delay time.

Even if you run a hundred meters, you will most likely face a zombie siege. What’s worse, you may be captured by other cameras.

After Lin Sha summarized it, Shana reported the situation to Maya through the headset: “The defense system of Lemon Town should not be manually operated, but controlled by a huge system network. After a rough inventory of the surveillance distribution in the town, we I think it is difficult to penetrate the town on foot.”

Maya asked: “What about driving?”

Shana said: “Vehicles should be tracked by surveillance cameras on the road.”

Maya said: “The car dropped the person and continued to drive forward. , the driver tried to find a way to leave the town. Others occupied the commercial street while avoiding surveillance and drones. However, there is no room for trial and error in this tactic, and we are still not sure whether the commercial street is the system’s recommended base.”

Shana said: ” Even if it is not a base recommended by the system, it is okay for us to occupy a piece of land manually.”

Maya: “No, there is no prospect of development. We don’t have much time left. Winter will start in about ten days. We need to prepare winter supplies at the end of the season. There may be activities that we must participate in. Therefore, there are only about a week to ten days left for us. It is now three o’clock in the afternoon. Tonight, Lin Wu and I will explore again in the dark, looking for possible infiltration. We will make plans overnight and tomorrow Attack the city early in the morning.”

Maya said: “Everyone go back to the camp. Shana will assign you the work of fishing, hunting and tree felling, and seize all the time to stock up on supplies as much as possible.”

“Okay.”

Maya: “Lin Wu, you are free Activity, try to find at least one outpost that can provide power.”

“Okay.”

Maya said: “I have been to the signal tower in the south and found nothing. I am not sure if there is a signal tower in the north, or you can just infiltrate and find it. You can figure out the clues yourself.”

“Okay.”

Maya: “Don’t use the small attack, we need it for the siege tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Long-winded!

…

Separated from Shana, Lin Wu walked around the road, but there were many buildings, so there was no need to fight, and the area that could be seen with the naked eye was really limited. Generally speaking, facilities such as substations should be placed in the suburbs, but there is no suburb in the small town of Lemmon. If there was one, the suburb would be this U-shaped road.

Lin Wu came down from the road and climbed over the back wall as usual. This time he was going to climb to the roof of the villa. Why not go to the north signal tower? First, there may not be a signal tower to the north. Secondly, it’s quite far away, a full 20 kilometers, and the trip back is 40 kilometers. Then why don’t you go back to camp and get the horses? It’s quite far away… Lazy is the first word, so don’t bother if you can save effort. After all, phantom is not easy either.

The U-shaped road semi-surrounds and is close to the villas. Of course, not all of them are villas, there are also small public gardens, swimming pools, playgrounds, etc. Dozens of apartment buildings are U-shaped structures, semi-surrounded by villas. Groups of villas and apartment buildings form the outskirts of the town of Lemon.

The core area is in the center of the U-shape and is a stem. Looking at the town of Lemmon as a whole, it is not exactly like a U-shaped character inserted into the character stem. The area around Qian’s Crossroads is the core area of the town, where shopping malls, pedestrian streets, entertainment venues, office buildings, hotels, etc. are all located here. The commercial street is on the left side of the top horizontal line, which is the Lemon River. If you go straight up, you will see the highway bridge to the airport.

How could Lin Wu see so clearly? Because there is a paper map in the villa.

After failing to climb up and take a look, Lin Wu originally planned to go back and lead his horse to the north to look for the signal tower. Based on the idea that thieves will never leave, he went to the study on the second floor and found this map. On the map, Lin Wu easily found the locations of two substations, as well as a seawater purification plant and a tidal power plant. Among them, the seawater purification plant, tidal power plant and a substation are all in the direction of the airport. Only one substation is located at the base of the stem.

Lin Wu reported the situation: “From the map, the substation is a semi-underground substation in the central park that is semi-surrounded by apartment buildings. The area of the park is about…cannot be measured without a ruler. But the park is not the problem, the entrance is Problem. The apartment building semi-surrounds the park and can only be entered on foot or by bicycle. On the other side is the main road leading to the core area.”

Maya said: “On the other hand, this is a good thing. Generally speaking, there is very little monitoring in the park. , our main enemies are artificial intelligence and zombies. As long as we don’t provoke the zombies in the direction of the apartment building, there won’t be much of a problem. Remember to bring the map back.”

“Okay.” Lin Wu asked: “What are you doing? Climbing? ? Breathing so loudly?”

“Push cart.” Maya gritted her teeth and replied.

“Are you pushing an armored vehicle?” Lin Wu was stunned for a moment, why didn’t you tow the tanker?

“End the call.” Even if it can’t be pushed, it can be pushed. If it’s going uphill, no matter how hard you save stones, you still have to burn oil. If it’s going downhill, you don’t need a stroller. The worst thing is the flat road. Both of them have strength bonus and can barely push. The non-hardcore mode has a stamina bar, and you have to rest when the stamina bar is gone. There is no endurance bar in the hardcore mode, and the state of exhaustion is directly reflected on the body.

Damn capitalists!
