State of Decay - Chapter 358

[Chapter 353 Auction]

I don’t know whether to praise or depreciate, Shitou said: “This girl Xingguang has quite a lot of tricks. In order to motivate everyone and show her fair attitude, she found a reason to remove Cuiyu and let a new person serve as deputy commander. When I saw this guy, he was not a good thing. He was just a dog slave. He was particularly good at squeezing the lower-level people to flatter the higher-ups. Sooner or later, Xingguang would sacrifice him to the flag.”

Lin Meng didn’t understand: “Uncle, why did Xingguang want to sacrifice him? Where is the flag?”

Shitou said: “The cruel officials can do things that the emperor cannot do. When the matter is done, the emperor will deal with them to appease the hearts of the civil and military officials. You see, the emperor not only did the matter, but also gained something. The most interesting thing is that these cruel people know that they are tools that will be abandoned sooner or later, but they are willing to become tools. Because the feeling of going from obscurity to high and above is so good, it also makes them more Treat those who looked down on them cruelly.”

Shitou said: “If Starlight has any excessive demands, this deputy commander will handle them. Over time, everyone’s dissatisfaction with the base will turn into dissatisfaction with the deputy commander. They will first Chat privately, and then muster up the courage to find Deputy Commander Peanut. Starlight will measure the degree of everyone’s resentment, and finally get rid of him, or expel him, or demote him. In this way, everyone will feel that all the faults are the Deputy Commander’s fault, and they will be more willing to Working for the sawmill.”

Lin Wu asked: “You are so familiar with it, why didn’t you do this before?”

Shitou glanced at Lin Wu in the endoscope: “Although Shadow was once a commander-in-chief, it is actually a personal system. , because Shadow is not suitable for a leadership system in the strict sense. First of all, you are a thorn, your wings are too hard, and you can’t find a slave who can suppress you. Secondly, Maya only works but does not behave. She is particularly difficult to deal with. She doesn’t agree with anything she says. Do you believe it or not? Shana is too smart. If I use her to bully others, she will in turn force me to step down.”

Shitou: “The biggest difference is that Shadow was established by us together. The commander-in-chief is just a position. I still She has to work part-time as a farmer. The Starlight base of the sawmill was built by Starlight, and she has absolute dominance. On the other hand, it is understood that she is the boss of Starlight Company, and she can do whatever she wants. Even if the employees think she is messing around , will also think that she is losing her own property.”

Lin Wu: “With all that said, what’s the key point?”

“The key point?”

Lin Wu: “Come back empty-handed?”

Shitou said: “You can’t blame me for this, you have to blame the Starlight Base. There was nothing to gain at all. In the end, I reluctantly asked them to fill up my gas tank. By the way, they didn’t know you were coming back. I said Shana had found a good base, and Su Shi and I planned to move there.”

Lin Meng curiously asked : “Uncle, why didn’t you tell her?”

Lin Wu also said: “Yes, the nightmare will tell her sooner or later.”

Shitou said: “Show your attitude and position. The outpost block is easy to handle, but the serial crossbow is indeed difficult to handle. .”

“How to deal with outpost cards?”

Shitou: “Let Lin Meng buy one.”

Lin Meng hurriedly said: “You can’t buy it, you can’t buy it. I heard that the drop rate is good. Outpost cards may not be good, I I once did a mission, and there was a piece of information in it that said that the more outposts a base has, the lower the chance of triggering a siege.”

Lin Wu asked: “The more outposts, the easier it is to trigger a high-star siege? Lin Meng nodded: “

That’s right.”

Lin Wu said: “I still want the outpost card. ” “It’s as high as it gets. You can take a hot bath and don’t have to do laundry. It’s better than anything else

. There are many water pump plants, hydropower stations, water plants, etc. In addition to Lemon Airport, the closest Lemon Hydropower Station to Shadow Base is about 40 kilometers away from Shadow.” Kilometers. Go down Highway 99 and walk two kilometers to reach the reservoir. To occupy the hydropower station, you can choose the power outpost or the water source outpost.

Xiaodao and Xuedan still didn’t talk much. The other three chatted all the way. There are still 80 kilometers away from the town of Lemon. The sun was setting. Lin Wu looked outside and said, “It seems to be a twilight night. Shitou didn’t care and asked: “

What, is the Night Demon very crashworthy?” “

Before Lin Wu had time to raise his objections, Master Shuguang issued a server-wide broadcast.

First of all, Shuguang explained that there are still about 4,000 players in the hardcore mode, with an average of about 50 in a town. In order to cope with the increasing scarcity resources and environment, Sugon will open an anonymous auction at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning, and the currency is in pistol bullets. Sugon said very kindly that it will only charge a 10% handling fee.

Each base has one opportunity to sell every day, and there are countless opportunities to buy. .Before 8 pm every day, the base will upload the items that will be auctioned the next day. The items will be locked and cannot be retrieved before the end of the auction. After 8 pm, all bases will receive a copy that will arrive at 8 am the next day. List of auction items and auction time at 6 pm.

Each day’s auction also includes an item provided by the system. If

the auction is successful, the auction item will be delivered at 8:00 that day.

Dawn: Next is of course the end of the season that everyone is most concerned about. Hardcore activities. After the late summer activities, a small number of players believed that mandatory hardcore activities were unfair, so Sugon conducted a vote in the non-hardcore mode. More than 95% of players supported the continuation of mandatory hardcore activities. Due to the vote rate More than 95%, so there is no need for hard-core players to waste time and energy voting.

Dawn: The theme of this late autumn event is the Abandoned City Dungeon.

After all hard-core players enter the event copy, they will be grouped according to the base and assigned to a place with their own The base has exactly the same building, but there is nothing in this building. The event will provide each player with initial weapons. Players cannot bring non-skilled items into the instance. Xiaowai is a skill summon and can be brought in. Xiaoda is built and upgraded from the design drawing. , are non-skilled items and cannot be carried into dungeons.

Starting from the third day of the event, there will be an irregular zombie siege every day. The intensity of the siege is related to the number of base members, the number of buildings and luck.

During the event, players can Enter the dungeon, fight zombies, explode equipment, materials, and build a base. All players share a dungeon. The dungeon is very vast and the chance of meeting other players is very low.

Important note: Fortress agents will be available at 8 a.m. on the third day of the event. Entering the dungeon, their mission is to hunt players. They have three privileges in total. The first privilege is to use the portal to teleport to any portal every five minutes. The second privilege is to use the query function once a day. Query the location of a certain base personnel in the dungeon. The third privilege is that they can use the weapons and props they purchased with points.

Players who kill fortress agents will directly obtain all system items on them, and players who kill players will directly obtain the other party’s items. A system item of the player.

After the player dies, the system items on him will be returned to the base warehouse, and the opponent will exit the hardcore mode forever.

In order to allow the majority of players to enjoy the event, some functions of the non-hardcore mode are restored, including There are no restrictions on hospital beds, five basic packages, etc. For specific details, please check the game manual.

This event is still calculated based on a points system, and the point rewards include various winter supplies.

Lin Meng received a message asking him to arrive at 8 a.m. on the 24th. Before clicking, clearly participate in the event as an agent or a member of the base.

It is now 6 pm on the 21st, and players have two hours to make a list of what they want to auction tomorrow.

…

At 7:30 in the evening, the group finally returned to the base. Everyone went out to greet them and greeted Xiao Dao and Xue Dan in the small square. Shana invited everyone in to eat. Xiaodao and Xuedan asked everyone to go back first. Xiaodao stood by the car and whispered to Xuedan who was sitting in the car.

Shana: “Innocent love dies in innocence.”

Lin Meng was puzzled.

Shanna: “You may think that these two months have been a hardship for Xiaodao and Xuedan, but I think it is a gift from God. If they can successfully get through the darkest stage of life together, then they Their love will be sublimated. On the contrary, their relationship will end here.”

Lin Meng seemed to understand: “They should communicate more.”

Shana said: “Everyone understands the truth, but they don’t know what to say when they open their mouths. The two of them Their personalities are relatively passive, and they have been passively involved in various incidents along the way. The only correct choice is their active choice, which is to leave the Angel League.”

Shitou explained to Lin Meng: “There is a lack of someone who can make decisions, and there is also a lack of communication.”

Lin Meng nodded, as if that was the case. Either one person makes the decision or they discuss it with each other. She felt that both Little Knife and Snow Egg were waiting for change, rather than looking for it. Lin Meng curiously asked: “Lin Wu, if you were Xue Dan, what would you do?”

Lin Wu replied: “First of all, I will not go to the Angel Alliance. Only the weak need to stick together, and the strong can walk thousands of miles alone.”

“Tch!” Everyone booed together.

Lin Wu chuckled: “Secondly, I will also borrow a truck, but if the other party comes to the door empty-handed, I will definitely refuse to show my philistineness.”

Shitou pointed at Lin Wu: “That’s very good, I would rather let others think you are a Philistine people, don’t let others think you are a kind person. Philistine means transaction and exchange of interests. Kindness means that the other party can ask for it unconditionally.”

Lin Meng also nodded and asked: “Then what?”

Lin Wu asked: “Then What?”

Lin Meng: “Leaving the alliance, getting into a car accident, being seriously injured, and lacking a doctor.”

“This situation is difficult to crack because it is determined by objective factors, not subjective choices.” Lin Wu said: “I think I can knife I will kill myself, and then build a home with my partner after resurrection.”

Lin Meng: “Suppose I were Snow Egg and you were Xiaodao? Would you kill me, or persuade me to commit suicide?”

Lin Wu: “Of course not, I will ask you to stop moaning every day. If you are alone, you will have an extra mouth to feed you. I will hunt and fish hard and leave you with food for two days. I will drive to the lumber camp or a stone hermitage to ask for help. .”

Shitou said: “But ordinary cars can’t pass through the tunnel, and you don’t know other routes. If you want to use an armored truck, you need to store fuel for many days.”

Lin Wu said: “Then I will take Lin Meng and drive all the way. The car is the base. Hope is always ahead, and I will keep driving until…”

Lin Meng answered: “Until the perfect ending.”

There are not so many perfect endings, so it would be nice to be able to win spiritually in this situation. Lin Wu looked at Lin Meng, and finally followed Lin Meng and said, “Yes, as long as you never give up, you will definitely get a perfect ending.” If you didn’t move, you fool, you would still be counting coins alone in the wilderness. However, it was because Lin Meng never gave up, always had hope, and lived a positive life that Maya admired her very much. It was also an important quality that made her join Shadow and quickly gain everyone’s trust and love.

After talking about this, Xiaodao came in to ask for help, while Shitou and Lin Wu went out to help Xuedan.

Shana greeted: “Let’s eat.”

Su Shi brought a big pot from the kitchen: “Today we are having hot pot.”

Everyone helped to get bowls and chopsticks, and put together the tables and chairs of the hamburger restaurant that had not yet been renovated. Eight people could barely fit in. .

Shitou sent the snow egg to the location and said: “Build a restaurant?”

Maya: “Let’s talk. Everyone is here. Let’s make arrangements. Shitou will be responsible for guarding tomorrow, and Su Shi will be responsible for demolition and synthesis of materials. We need two people tomorrow. Lin Wu went to the sika deer breeding base. One purpose was to cut wood and collect building materials, and the other purpose was to brush serum.”

Xiaodao and Lin Meng raised their hands: “Me.”

Maya nodded: “Okay, Su Shi, you will make a batch of bows and arrows for Xiaodao later. “The knife is very powerful in combat, and if a fighter adds gloves, it can indirectly immunize against viral infections.

“Who else?” Everyone looked at Lin Meng who raised his hands, are you blind?

Maya said helplessly: “Lin Meng, your nunchucks can hurt the enemy a thousand times and damage yourself eight hundred, so you need to practice more.”

Lin Meng: “I can chop down

trees.” Lin Wu asked: “Chopping with nunchucks? Lin

Meng was a little discouraged and muttered: “You have to practice.”

That makes sense, but can’t you practice something else? Maya hesitated for a moment: “Okay, you can heal in the safe house while we participate in the event.” The agent safe house cannot heal injuries, but it can commit suicide.

Lin Meng grinned: “Thank you Maya.”

Maya said: “You will still participate in the event as an agent. After the meal, you and Shana will communicate privately. We have to cooperate with each other during the event. How to get in touch is the key.”

“Yes.”

Maya looked When the time came, he said: “Back to business, it’s already 7:50. Knife, snow egg, please hand over all system items.”

The two of them had food in their mouths, but it did not hinder their movements of rummaging through the bag. After putting away everything, Maya and Shana stood aside, holding a piece of paper and talking softly.

“Are you selling guns?”

“You can’t sell them at a high price. Players who can still stay in the hardcore mode are all short of guns. I suggest clearing one category of bullets.” “

Shotguns?”

“Or 7.62?”

“7.62 is fine.” 7.62 is too loud. Although the sound of the shotgun is not quiet, when using the shotgun, it is basically in a close state and a critical moment that requires strong firepower: “A group of 10 rounds, or a group of 20 rounds?” The

base has a total of 120 rounds of 7.62. I believe it No other base can be swallowed in one gulp. At this time, a ladder auction can be adopted. For example, A has the highest bid, and he exchanges 30 rounds of pistol bullets for 20 rounds of 7.62. B, the next highest bidder, will exchange 29 pistol bullets for 20 7.62 rounds. The more groups there are, the less fair it is to the highest bidder.

Shana said: “My opinion is a set of 60 rounds, as few as possible. But will there be a base that can afford it?”

Maya: “The base price is 60, one pistol bullet for one 7.62 bullet.”

Shadow has many Pistol master. Assault rifles have powerful firepower. In the zombie world, the overall performance of 5.56 bullet firearms is better than 7.62.
