State of Decay - Chapter 352

[Chapter 347 Light Base]

Lin Meng has excellent qualities and a strong will, is good-looking, has no scheming, and smiles with everyone except that one person. In addition, Lin Meng is still a treasure. Not only is she a treasure girl in her own right, but her identity is also a treasure to Shadow.

A safe house can add a lot of entertainment to Shadow, and her status as a Fortress agent allows her to enter and leave the airport freely, where she can also purchase a car that can be driven freely in Lemon Town. However, the checkpoint only recognizes people and not cars, so others still cannot enter the airport.

But this treasure girl also has a shortcoming, that is, she is poor. The points were so pitiful that she could barely afford her favorite shrimp crackers, let alone buying a car for the base that would allow her to move around Lemmon freely. Therefore, in order to better dig out the treasure, Shadow must first work for Lin Meng.

Of course the first step is to relocate the safe house.

Early in the morning, as he watched Lin Meng pass the checkpoint and walk to the airport, Shitou was somewhat worried: “Will they let us go?” He knew that the reason why Lin Meng joined Shadow was because he was afraid of Lin Wu’s evil power. Now that you have the chance to escape, will you come back again?

Maya denied: “No.”

Shitou said: “We have communicated before, and you said you are not very good at dealing with people.”

Maya replied: “You are so old, don’t be as naive as Lin Wu, playing such language games .”

Lin Wu: “Hey! I’m next to you.”

Shitou chuckled: “That’s what you mean. Why do you make a conclusion about Lin Meng? Qin often said that people are the biggest variables in all plans, and your biggest shortcoming is knowledge. People don’t know.”

Maya said: “My original words are that I am not good at understanding other people’s inner thoughts, and I don’t know how to deal with other people’s emotions. As for Lin Meng, I only had two days and one night of contact with her. I don’t Determine what kind of person she is. But…”

Lin Meng walked several kilometers to get materials, just to exchange for less than a liter of fuel. This behavior is not important. What is important is that even though life is so embarrassing, Lin Meng does not complain about life and is not dissatisfied with reality. She still kept a smile and lived hard.

The culprit who caused Lin Meng’s bankruptcy was Lin Wu. This girl was touched six times by Lin Wu during the train activity, and all her belongings were touched cleanly.

Even so, Lin Meng never showed resentment towards Lin Wu. She would blame Lin Wu for snatching her shrimp crackers, but she did not blame Lin Wu for causing her to be impoverished.

Maya is a person who doesn’t listen to what you say, only what you do. After her explanation, Shana and Shitou both nodded frequently, obviously recognizing Maya’s judgment. Only Lin Wu sounded a little awkward, as he seemed to be a villain in Maya’s description.

Maya didn’t give Lin Wu time to figure it out, and arranged the work: “Stone Point A, Lin Wu and Shana’s work target during the day is the building materials, decoration and hardware mall next to the small supermarket. There are three floors, and there are a lot of zombies. This place is special One thing to note is that our safety zone is about twelve meters away from the entrance of the mall, and the twelve meters area is the area covered by surveillance.”

Maya said: “Yesterday, the zombies on the road side of the first floor of the small supermarket were cleared. You can walk along the The sidewalk outside the small supermarket cannot cross the 12-meter zone in a straight line. Of course, there are emergencies. Once the monitoring alarm is triggered, no matter what the situation is at the scene, everyone must return to the indoor base within one minute.”

Maya said : “I know you prefer to make various decisions based on the situation at the time, but in the face of the threat of system drones, this is the first rule of Shadow that everyone must abide by. It is the same as drinking and not driving, maybe a hundred times Everything is fine, but once something happens, it is gone. After being captured by the surveillance camera, return to the base indoors within 1 minute. If you cannot return to the base, you must find a way to escape indoors. If you cannot return to the base, you cannot hide indoors. First Please take the time to put important equipment and items in place or in a relatively safe place before dealing with drones.”

Lin Wu felt that the regulations were too strict. He had an anti-drone weapon and ran very fast, so there was no need for it. Introduce such regulations. Later at work with Shanna, Shanna answered his questions. The target of Maya’s rules is not Lin Wu alone, but everyone working on the rooftop and small square of the base, such as the stones for farming.

The two biggest threats to base personnel currently are suicide drones and fortress agents. There is currently no effective means to deal with the former, and we can only use the other party’s mechanical working methods to deal with it.

For the latter, banners were pulled.

After getting a bag of building materials and setting up a production room, Su Shi made banners with the scraps of wood and rags obtained from yesterday’s demolition. Shit Shi used four bottles of ink to write a line: Shadow Base, kill first and then loot. Sincerely, Lin Wu.

Shana and Lin Wu used ropes to fix the banners on the two light poles at the exit of the highway bridge, making them very conspicuous.

If someone is afraid of Lin Wu, they will naturally retreat silently when they see the banner. After all, there is no shame as long as no one knows. On the other hand, if someone or a small group did not take Lin Wu seriously, they would most likely destroy the banner to show their disdain and boost their own morale. This allows Shadow to quickly detect Bastion agents who threaten their safety.

Another function of the banner is to attract attention. Shanna planted landmines at part of the exit of the highway bridge. The first location is where Lin Wu crouched yesterday. This location is protected from light at night and can be reached directly by climbing over the guardrail from the highway bridge. The second location involved a tripwire stretched over the guardrail at the edge of the bridge entrance. If someone doesn’t follow the right path and moves along the guardrail, they will hit the trip wire.

There is no third location. Shadow had a box of mines before, but Shana’s group only took two when they were separated. Highway Star, a pickup truck and most of the supplies are in Starlight’s hands. Perhaps this is also the advantage of the Shadow People, no one cares about how little they get from the division. Whenever we talk about family separation, everyone will first realize their own mistakes. No one will let others who are not present take the blame for their own mistakes. And until now, no one has said anything bad about Starlight.

…

There are not a lot of building materials in the building materials mall. This is not due to anything else but to the mechanics of the game. The number of basic packages per square meter for each building has been clearly arranged. Even building materials shopping malls only increase this base, and are not full of building materials.

In addition to building materials packages, this mall also has many non-system items, including wrenches, screwdrivers, nails, cement, tiles, glass, paint, etc. They are all things that can be used, and it is up to the players to use them as they wish.

It sounds like a good thing, but it is not for Lin Wu and Shana. Every time the two of them cleared a small area, they turned around and acted as porters. Carrying bags of cement on her back, she carried them in circles to the base. Damn Maya wanted everything. Therefore, increasing manpower has become a topic discussed by Lin Sha.

The base has been established for more than a day. After yesterday’s efforts, more than ten barrels of fuel have been collected in a targeted manner. However, no specific work has been arranged to go to Zuoxian County, and the matter has not even been discussed publicly. Today is the eighteenth day of the last month of autumn. After deducting a week of possible end-of-season activities, there are only about 5 days left.

Once winter enters, roads will inevitably be blocked by heavy snow. If you want to go to Zuoxian County, which is 250 kilometers away, it is impossible to rely solely on cars.

Shana said: “Do you believe it? There are some different opinions on the direction of work between me, Maya and Shitou.”

“I believe it.”

Shana said angrily: “You have to say whether you believe it or not, then I can continue. “

“Do not believe.”

Shana smiled and patted Lin Wu, and continued: “Shitou wants to go to the Angel League in person. Of course Maya has no objection, but I have communicated with Maya privately. I think Shitou’s going to the Angel League to re-recruit Xiaodao and Xuedan may be a cover. , because recruiting these two people does not require a trip from Shitou, and it would be better if you go directly. It is impossible for Shitou to condescend to invite them.”

Shana said: “When you went out to relax last night, we had an honest exchange. Shitou admitted that Xiaodao and Xuedan were the last choices. He went to the Angel Alliance to see if there were more suitable candidates. Or he could directly recruit two workers to be responsible for the base and surrounding work, and arrange them into the command tent base to ally them. The identity resides in the Shadow Base.” Allies cannot take any system items in the base.

For example, guns, bullets, etc. are all items recognized by the system. They can either be directly obtained by searching for them, or they can be manufactured in the production room. For example, screwdrivers, nails, etc. are ordinary items. Even screwdrivers made in the workshop are still ordinary items. To put it simply, valuables and necessities are basically system items, while non-precious items and necessities are basically ordinary items.

Lin Wu asked: “Why didn’t Shitou tell the truth?”

Shana said: “Maya and Shitou looked at things in different directions due to their different working environments. As a soldier, Maya can’t influence the selection of soldiers in the company. What’s the point? Who should be used? She never thinks that this person’s personality harms unity and I have to replace him. Instead, after this person makes a mistake, I must replace him according to the rules. She doesn’t care much about the team atmosphere because she has no choice. , she cares more about discipline. As the boss of a company, Shitou is the rule to a certain extent. The team atmosphere is directly related to productivity and creativity. He may tolerate violations of discipline, but he can activate the team atmosphere and bring benefits to the team. “People.”

Shana said: “Shitou thinks that Xue Dan and Xiao Dao are both good young people apart, but the situation is different after they get together. Their love does not bring any positive gains to the team, only negative gains. Maya has It’s your own opinion, but Shitou is in charge of personnel affairs, and she didn’t say much. She just said: Let’s take a look.”

Shana: “This situation also happened to Xingguang and Peanut,”

Lin Wu nodded: “Either you said that from the beginning Refuse to fall in love.”

“No, I’m just thinking about the impact of my colleagues’ romance on the team.”

Although the two chatted, the battle was not easy. When cooperating with Maya, Lin Wula started to fish after pulling monsters. When cooperating with Shana, he had to turn around to assist Shana. After all, Shana’s combat efficiency was relatively low. With hundreds of kilometers around him, Lin Wu would rather be bruised and bruised than to protect Shana. After all, one less serum needle is needed.

After clearing an area, the two looked at the piled boards in the area and worried. This is a board that can be broken into wooden boards instead of broken wood. This is a large compressed board that can be directly used. The only problem is that a bundle of ten boards is a bit too heavy. And to take it apart, each bundle would have to be transported ten times. There are five bundles of such boards on site.

Lin Wu contacted Su Shi, explained the situation and asked, “Is it useful?”

“Yes, it is very useful.” Su Shi said, “It is possible to obtain a large amount of wood. The wood can be processed into various wood products, burned into charcoal, and processed Even if they are not used in the production room, we can also make tables and chairs by hand. They are very versatile.”

“Old Su, I don’t really want this answer.”

Su Shi: “It’s useless, it’s just garbage.”

Maya interjected Said: “Lin Wu went to position A to change places with Shitou, and Shitou went to move the boards.” Shitou

was dissatisfied: “Why?”

“You have the power.”

“What about me?” Shana asked.

“You have the will.”

Shitou muttered: “He who can do more work, right?”

Maya said: “Believe me, if someone is asked to move, there will be no boards in the base today.”

“Slander, you are so stupid It’s slander. I’ll move.” Lin Wu was dissatisfied, the words were too ugly, although he did consider not moving the boards today and cleaning up the zombies first.

One piece of board weighs 20 kilograms, and a set of ten pieces weighs 200 kilograms. They can only be disassembled and transported. Although the weight of the panels is reduced after being disassembled, they are difficult to transport due to their large area. It’s not comfortable to carry or drag. It’s uncomfortable no matter what.

Lin Wu, who was bending down to carry the second film, had a sudden thought: “I am carrying a board across the road, will it be photographed by the surveillance camera?” “

Yes.” Maya said: “Abnormally moving objects.”

Lin Wu: “This Isn’t surveillance too weird?”

Maya said: “Monitoring does not directly confirm your identity, but sends an alarm, and the drone confirms the identity of the enemy and ourselves. We assume that the board on your back will not trigger the surveillance alarm, then we can completely Put a wooden bucket on your head, or a few people pull a piece of cloth and walk on the street.”

Maya said: “You can try it and take a rest, the cooling time of the tent is up.”

So Lin Wu tried it, as Maya said Surveillance raised the alarm and the drone arrived, it said. At this time, according to regulations, everyone has hid in the base. The drone flew over the surrounding area, including the safe area of the base, and searched for several minutes before leaving.

Of course Lin Wu wanted to complain. Little White Rabbit told Lin Wu that generally speaking, anything higher than 10 meters above the main building of the base was not considered a safe zone. And even if the drone flies into the safe zone, it will have no impact on it. Just like a zombie entering a safe zone, it will not have any negative effects on itself.

After Lin Wu said goodbye to Little White Rabbit, he built a tent base on the west side of the base. By lunch the tent base was completed. Lin Wu then withdrew from the Shadow Base and established the Light Base. The origin of the name Light Base is the antonym of Shadow Base, so I guess.

Since the two bases are very close to each other, the alliance task was easily completed. The tent base adopts a command system to prepare for the possible recruitment of labor in the future.

Back in the tent after the meal, Lin Wu and Xiao Wai rolled on the carpet, and then Shana came in. She immediately went to the dormitory in the tent. Compared to the Simmons mattresses in the base dormitory, the beds here were made up of quilts and blankets, which were more comfortable.

“What are you doing? Don’t move.” Lack of privacy is a big problem in tent dormitories.

“Stingy guy, you’re done working. You’ll have to move bricks later.”

Lin Wu immediately remained motionless: “I’m so tired.” The bricks are real bricks. Although only a small amount of stone can be obtained by demolishing them, they can be used directly. For example, building a wall or building a natural farm on the rooftop.
