State of Decay - Chapter 348

[Chapter 343 Uninvited Guest]

After a short rest, Lin Wu took over the pickup truck and started driving on what he called the most dangerous road section: “Old man, there is something I don’t know whether to say or not.”

“You shouldn’t say that. Little thing, if you don’t learn from the good ones, just learn this trick.” Shitou leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes to meditate: “When I was the boss, such people would be fired no matter how capable they were. All the people who said this were Troublemaker.”

Lin Wu said: “This is only relevant to you.”

“Then shut up, you just want to make me feel uncomfortable. If it’s a nice thing to say, there’s no right to say it or not.”

“Old fox.” Lin Wu asked, “By the way, if Maya and Shana quarreled, would you sidestep the argument?” Lin Wu looked for a topic to relieve Shi Shi’s exhausted mood.

“No, they will not break out into irreconcilable conflicts.”

“Why?” Lin Wu asked curiously.

“The rigid hormones that Maya exudes are ten times stronger than those of Qi. Girls can’t resist such an aura.”

Lin Wu asked angrily: “Can we still have a good chat?”

“There’s no need to talk, I just need to rest for a while.” Shitou said: “These few kilometers have put in everything I have learned throughout my life. Are you there yet?”

“We’re here, why didn’t we see anyone?” Lin Wu stopped the car near the tent ruins and got out of the car with Shitou. He looked around but saw no one or zombies. If there are zombies, it means that Da Shuang and Su Shi may be eaten. What would happen if there are no zombies and no one?

The field of view is wide and clear. When the rocks are on the edge of the cliff, you look down. The waves of the sea are beating against the rocks, but no trace of human beings is found. Lin Wu looked inside the crack, but found no movement.

In desperation, Lin Wu released Xiaoda, who had only 7% power left. As soon as Xiaoda took off, he scanned a red dot, which was located under the crack. Lin Wu didn’t notice it before because the position of the red dot was not within the field of view.

Lin Wu shouted toward the bottom of the crack: “Is there anyone there?”

Although seawater continues to pour into the inland lake within the crack, it cannot block the sound coming from a height of more than ten meters. Su Shi climbed to the edge of Neihai Lake and looked up: “Yes.”

what’s the situation? Shitou asked: “Where is Da Shuang?”

“died.”

“Holy shit!” Shitou was a little confused: “What a mess, two of them were gone at once.” There were only four and a half people in the entire Shadow. But first we have to fish out the bottom half of the person.

Lin Wu took out the rope he carried with him, fixed the rope on a nearby big rock, and followed the rope to the bottom: “Old Su, how is your health?”

“Broken bone, loss of mobility in left leg.”

“It’s a small matter.” Lin Wu tied Su Shi up with a rope.

During this process, Lin Wu also learned the specific situation: the seagull was responsible for everything.

After the tent was put away, Da Shuang and Su Shi had nothing to do. Dashuang and Su Shi rarely communicated with each other in daily life, and now it seemed even more awkward. In fact, except for Shi Shi, Su Shi didn’t communicate much with anyone else. One reason was that he had been in the production room for many years, and another reason was that he didn’t go on missions with everyone, so he had little time for communication and the topics were limited.

So Su Shi went to the cliff to watch the sea view, while Da Shuang took out some food to tease the seagulls, just like they often did in the Fortress of Doom. Su Shi turned around and saw that Da Shuang was still more than ten meters away from the crack. At that time, he wanted to remind him, but he thought that reminding the senior to correct the junior’s behavior was a bit of a lesson, so he didn’t say anything.

When he heard a sound, he turned around and didn’t see Da Shuang. He immediately ran to the crack and saw Da Shuang lying on the big rock. Da Shuang tried his best to tell Su Shi that there was a 10-minute countdown to medical rescue. She would die if she was not rescued for more than 10 minutes. Su Shi shouted and asked, can a bandage be used? Dashuang didn’t answer, she had fallen into a coma.

After complaining, it was learned that Da Shuang should have died on the spot, but only because of the player protection mechanism, she was provided with 10 minutes of medical rescue time.

Su Shi can’t get in touch with other people. Now the sky and the sky are not working, and the earth and the earth are not responding. Shadow had never seen an emergency medical rescue before. Su Shi was not sure whether bandages counted as medical rescue. Anyway, he couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

As an internal staff member, Su Shi did not have the good habit of carrying a rope, so he climbed down with the help of a vine from a tree next to the crack. His skills were quite flexible, at least more flexible than a stone, and he quickly reached a place 7 meters above the ground. The vines were gone, and Su Shi let go and broke his leg.

Su Shi climbed up to Da Shuang and used a high-end bandage he carried on Da Shuang, but it had no effect. Dashuang died five minutes before Lin Wu and Shitou arrived. In fact, even if Lin Wu and Shitou arrived in time, they wouldn’t be able to save Da Shuang, because emergency rescue refers to sending unconscious people to beds in the infirmary.

After Lin Wu tied up Su Shi, he climbed up along the rope, returned to the crack, and together with the stone, pulled Su Shi up from below. The two of them lifted Su Shi and placed him in the back of the pickup truck.

Lin Wu told Maya about the situation through the headset. Maya immediately stopped the search operation with Shana, retreated to the safe area of the base, and listened carefully to Lin Wu’s story with Shana.

The death of the big pair is a huge blow to the Shadows, not because of the value of the big pair or the value of the cotton, but because of the lack of people in the base. What Big Double and Cotton can do, ordinary players can also do, but the problem is that it is difficult to find ordinary players now.

Lin Wu didn’t hear the reply from Shana and Maya for a long time, so he tried to comfort him: “Maybe Cotton can come back again?”

“Haha.” Shana laughed emotionlessly.

Maya said: “You rest where you are. After nightfall, Lin Wu, go get two license plates alone and return to the base overnight.” At its peak, the Shadow Base had 13 people. At that time, Shana was worried that too many people would easily lead to frequent internal conflicts. hair. There is no need to think about this issue at all now.

Maya thought more about it. It was not a good choice for 5 people to occupy a large base. Replace small and medium-sized bases? Not to mention not knowing which building in Lemon Town is a small or medium-sized base, I am not willing to give up the big base like this. It’s not possible to go back to Zuo County. Although there is a threat from drones in Lemon Town, the town has not been corroded and has as many resources as the game server.

It is possible to recruit people. It is known that there are many players in the Angel League, and I believe many players are willing to move here. However, Shadow Base is a personal system, and its operation is extremely difficult.

The first priority now is to get people back, and then consider whether to abandon the Shadow Base and instead use tents to build a new base in a nearby resource area.

Although stealing license plates is dangerous, because Lin Wu is the one doing the job, no one finds it difficult. Lin Wu has a fine tradition of running away if he can’t fight. To put it bluntly, not to mention ordinary zombies, even Kuang Meng couldn’t smell Lin Wu’s athlete’s foot.

…

With nothing to do, Lin Wu and the other three people waited at the ruins until dark. It doesn’t have to be until dark, but currently it can only be confirmed that license plates stolen after dark are valid.

I was idle, and Lin Wu horses to the north signal tower for watching. Anyway, the phantom is not myself. At Su Shi’s request, Shitou dragged him from the back of the pickup truck to the grass. Su Shi, who was in pain during the process, took a painkiller and asked: “Shitou, do we have to consider the snow egg and the knife now?”

Shitou said: “You make it sound like we have never considered them.”

Su Shi said: “In fact, you didn’t even consider Mian Mian and Da Shuang. The core reason for the conflict between Da Shuang and Cui Yu was everyone’s dissatisfaction with Shana. They arranged for Peanut and the others to throw zombie bodies and carry stones to repair the cofferdam, but Sha Na Na let Dashuang’s fish-fishing work attitude go unchecked. Because of Mian Mian’s taciturn character, the conflict between her and Xiao Dao has never been resolved. Needless to say, Xue Dan, normal people know that it is the core component of the upgrade. I think Xiao Dao is the best among the four. He is the most innocent person.”

Shitou: “Xuedan and Xiaodao are both old people. Why do you have a dissatisfaction with Xuedan? Don’t tell me that it was just because of the materials used to make the ring.”

“I’m petty.” Su Shi saw Shitou looking at him and nodded: “I’m telling the truth. I am an engineer in the game, and he is an engineer in reality. In daily communication, do you understand?”

Shitou asked: “Some people look down on you as a fake?”

Su Shi was noncommittal.

Shitou said: “Then you won’t be like this. There is no limit to your husband.”

Su Shidao: “Some relationships can turn a scumbag into a scumbag, and some relationships can turn a scumbag into a scumbag.”

Shitou: “Xiao Dao should be responsible for her becoming a bad student.”

“Okay, let’s just think Xiao Dao and Xue Dan are tied.” Su Shi said: “On the second day after the server was launched, we occupied the church on the top of the mountain. Most of the brothers who came along the way were here except Ma Hun. Mian Qian left for too long. , and left too early to be considered an old man.”

Stone: “You mean to invite them back.”

Su Shi nodded: “They are all old people. I believe that with Maya here, Xuedan will not do anything inappropriate again. If you are generous, you can even consider Starlight…”

“No, her situation is different. She and Peanut are in a relationship, and she also has Cuiyu. The relationship between this small group is too close.” Shitou said: “Starlight and Peanut, Xiaodao and Snow Egg, these two couples have one Essentially different. Relatively speaking, the former is about stance and interests, while the latter is about reason.”

Shitou: “If Peanut does something wrong, Starlight will try his best to protect Peanut. If Xiaodao or Xuedan do something wrong, not only are they willing to admit their mistakes, but they will only take the blame for their spouse and will not defend their spouse’s wrong behavior.”

Su Shidao: “As long as you can think clearly.”

Stone has always been Shadow’s HR. Everyone has been interviewed by him, and the only one who has gone through the back door is Starlight.

Su Shi: “I have a question. Why does Starlight fall in love with Peanut? They are from two different classes.”

Shitou replied: “Interest in sailing. Do you remember that tugboat? Their story began in that tugboat. Starlight looked at Rizhao like looking at a mirror. Rizhao seemed to her to be just a male Starlight. Starlight and Peanut became in reality No, poor Peanut didn’t see through this, he’s still too young.”

Su Shi disagreed: “Not necessarily. In terms of peanut points, he can be called a good match on Earth and Starlight.”

“Do you think Rizhao, Xingguang and the others will stay on Earth? They were selected by Dawn and had no choice but to take this trip. I estimate that the shuttle and procedures on Earth have been arranged. They will board the shuttle as soon as they arrive on Earth. I will return to Blue Star in a few weeks.” Shitou changed the topic: “But maybe love can change everything.”

…

The northern signal tower is at the top left side of the U-shape, closer to the airport than the southern signal tower. Lin Wu saw the aircraft in the hangar from the northern signal tower. This is a small fixed-wing aircraft with about 7 people, and it looks very beautiful. The ground staff took the checklist and pointed at the aircraft. After a while, the two ground staff left the hangar and got into the car. The car drove towards a four-story building near the sea to the north.

Lin Wu searched carefully for a long time and found no zombies at the airport. Just when Lin Wu was about to evacuate, a plane arrived at the airport. After putting down a passenger, the plane turned and left the airport. Lin Wu only had a monocular telescope in his hand, so he couldn’t see very clearly. Even so, he thought the people who came down were players, not NPCs.

Because he has never seen an NPC wearing a headset and jumping to music at the airport.

“Call Maya.”

“…” Maya clicked on the headset, and after withdrawing from the battle, she replied: “I’m here.”

Lin Wu said: “There was a plane landing at the airport two minutes ago, and a person got off. I can’t see clearly, but I think it should be the player.”

“Players? Can players use Lemon Airport?” Maya said: “They should be fortress agents. Only they can buy air tickets and fly to Lemon Town.”

Lin Wu said: “He entered a place, then rode out, took a telescope and looked around. He didn’t run away, it was them.”

“Continue to monitor.”

The man suspected of being a fortress agent rode a bicycle across the highway bridge and arrived at the checkpoint. The checkpoint’s red light scanned his face and he lifted the bar to let him go. The man had a long gun hanging on the side of his backpack. He stopped at the intersection of the highway bridge, put his bicycle on the ground, entered stealth mode, and used a telescope to observe the commercial street a hundred meters away.

After a while, the man fired a rope gun at the rooftop of a building, fixed the rope gun, hung a hook on the rope, and slid from a low position to the rooftop of the three-story building.

Arrived at the rooftop, the man took out a silenced pistol and shot a few zombies on the rooftop. Then he set up a sniper rifle, pointed the gun at the Shadow Base, and then took out a telescope to quietly observe the Shadow Base.

Maya asked: “Did you see it?”

Shana: “I saw it. It’s basically a player. Should we wait for him to come or kill him? If we kill him now, we won’t know the reason and purpose of his attack on us.”

Lin Wu interjected: “Based on what I know about them, they will commit suicide as soon as they see us and will never let us capture them alive.”

Shana disagreed: “We will also try to commit suicide. If we negotiate, we might be able to let him go.”

Lin Wu groaned: “He didn’t know it was us.”

Maya also figured it out: “Yes, if he knew it was us, he would never attack us alone in broad daylight.” It’s not that Lin Ma is too arrogant, and the record is just there. Not to mention Karami, whom he had never met before, not even Sanmeng dared to carry out an attack in broad daylight.

Shana: “Fortress agents are not as bad as you say, are they?”

“As for that.” Maya said: “1, 2, 3, you shoot first.”

“good.”

Maya: “1, 2, 3.”

Two bullets hit the fortress agent’s head one after another. This was the best way to defeat the player’s protection, but he didn’t expect that he was wearing a forehead protector and took one bullet directly. Therefore, Lin Sha did not kill the opponent, but the opponent lost at least 90% of his mobility. At this point, it is certain that this guy is a player and 99% of it is a fortress agent.

The man crouched down and leaned against the cement guardrail, completely confused about the situation. He only heard a gunshot, but it blew off his forehead protector and maimed himself. It was illogical. After putting on a high-grade bandage to stop the bleeding and taking care of the broken bones, he held up his hat with a gun and exposed the hat outside the guardrail.

“Don’t move.” Maya said, “A real person wouldn’t be so slow.”

Although she said that, Maya pulled the trigger, and the bullet shot through the concrete guardrail, taking away the bloody agent directly. She told Shana not to move because the .22 bullet Shana used could not penetrate the concrete guardrail. Maya uses 7.62 bullets. It’s not that she likes firearms with 7.62 bullets. After all, these types of firearms are very noisy. It’s just because 7.62 bullets are the most in stock.
