State of Decay - Chapter 370

[Chapter 365 Gate of Hell]

After passing Area A and arriving at Area H, the number of ferocious beasts and zombies here has increased a lot. Outside Exit H is a bar street with a very large flow of people, and the vacancy rate of parking spaces is only 20%. However, the Shadow Team is not a vegetarian. They are well-equipped, have superb attributes, and have good skills. They advance slowly and steadily. Although the efficiency is low, there is no problem in terms of safety.

After moving to Area G, everyone finally heard the long-awaited response from the car. Above Area G is a department store with a vertical elevator shaft, and vehicles are near the elevator shaft. When the team advanced to the elevator shaft, Maya stopped Xue Dan from pressing the key and pointed to the elevator room.

After getting rid of the four zombies in the elevator, Maya arranged for Shana and Xuedan to stay behind. As soon as they left, the elevator went down. Shana called Maya, and Maya brought people back.

The elevator door No. 1 opened, and there was an elevator full of zombies inside. After one pass of output, all the zombies inside turned into cards. Everyone collected the cards and Lin Wu complained. As expected, the little white rabbit gave a logical answer. Because the elevator door could not be closed, it made a sound, attracting a large number of zombies to enter the elevator. Because of the crowd, a zombie touched the elevator button, and they came.

Is it reasonable? Don’t say it’s a coincidence, just say it’s reasonable or not?

If everyone is carrying guns outside and such a large group of zombies rush out, how much impact will it have on players who have not formed a position?

“Let it go away and come help quickly.”

Lin Wu said goodbye to Little White Rabbit. The car had already been opened outside. It was a dilapidated white van with an advertisement for a pizza shop painted on the outside. Boxes of supplies were moved out, six boxes in total, including two boxes of pistols, totaling 60. In addition, there was a box of 24 M4 carbines and a box of 24 Aka rifles. The last two boxes are bullets, 500 rounds each for pistols, 5.56 and 7.62 bullets.

“Get rich.” Lin Wu asked: “Are all criminal gangs so awesome?”

Shana said: “The real name of this place is unclear, but if it is really Rio de Janeiro, it is possible. It belongs to South America, Colombia, Mexico, etc. It is a country with notorious poisonous birds. This is not bad. Without heavy weapons, the poisonous birds in Mexico dare to ambush the armored convoy of the special forces.” Its nature is equivalent to a criminal gang attacking a guard camp.

Knife: “How can I carry so many guns?” The pistol can be thrown into the backpack, but the rifle is longer than the backpack, there is only one weapon rack, and there are only two hands.

“I’ll do it.” Lin Wu stuffed ten Aka rifles into his pocket knife backpack, took out a nylon rope to tie them up, and said, “Don’t jump around or they won’t fall out.”

So, the Shadow Team had many guns and brought them with them. Returned to Area D with a lot of bullets. The next question to research: Which floor to look for managers on. There are currently 27 rescue personnel, which is still half the distance from the system requirement of 50 people. It takes a lot of time to penetrate the dungeon normally, so finding hidden portals becomes the optimal solution.

After Shana and Maya’s discussion was over, the team returned to the vertical elevator shaft in Area D, only to see a dozen special zombies near the elevator.

The toughest ordinary zombies Lin Wu had ever seen were undoubtedly soldier zombies. The dozen or so ordinary zombies in front of him were one level higher than the soldier zombies. Not only did they wear helmets and body armor, four of the zombies also held explosion shields.

Complaint result: You found a police car, but didn’t you find other police cars nearby? When the Shadow Team went to Area A, the doors of two SWAT vehicles near the elevator shaft in Area D were knocked open, and a dozen SWAT zombies appeared here.

Is this a problem? I remember when Lin and Ma rode together for thousands of miles. During this period, they passed the highway bridge checkpoint and chopped down more than 300 soldier zombies with a stone knife. It’s not a question of shadows, it’s a question of how quickly zombies die.

In addition to getting the basic pistol, shock grenades, and smoke grenades. Shadow Team got two special cards: Explosion Shield. It can completely withstand bullets below 7.62 and greatly reduce the damage of .50 bullets.

Of course Lin Wu wanted to complain, but Little White Rabbit was still open to Lin Wu’s complaints. It told Lin Wu that this was the most advanced explosion-proof shield on earth at the time, called MRAPS, which could withstand 7.62-caliber armor-piercing bullets within 9 meters.

The quality of this thing is good, and the weight is not limited. A shield weighs nearly 15 kilograms, which is equivalent to a Timber Wolf. As a result, the Shadow Team faced a problem they had never considered: weight.

Guns, bullets, building material packages, cash, jewelry, etc. have brought everyone close to capacity. Two more shields weighing about 15 kilograms are not indigestible, but there are still a lot of supplies to be looted.

Lin Wu said: “You don’t want the Aka rifle?”

“Yes.” Maya answered without thinking: “Xue Dan, you have two bodies, adjust the weight, be responsible for carrying a shield, use MP5 submachine gun. I use G36 to take it Shield. Knife, you have a strength attribute, and bows and arrows are static shooting weapons. You can double your load. Lin Wu and Shana try to save some weight as much as possible, and there will definitely be supplies later.” After the

adjustment, Xue Dan and Maya It is 140% load-bearing, and the knife is 240% load-bearing. Because Lin Wu was carrying the Timber Wolf, he also carried 75% of the weight. Shanna is 30% weight-bearing. Although Shana is carrying a light load, she does not share the weight of the knife. Although it sounds unfair, it is the most efficient method that Maya thinks. Otherwise, to get a batch of supplies, the entire team would have to carry a heavy load.

Carrying 50% weight is a hurdle. At 200%, you can’t run or sneak, you can only walk normally. As a top soldier, Lin Wu could not carry more than 50% of his weight, which is 18 kilograms (there will be a bonus for increasing his weight), but he had to bring the Timber Wolf, a big killer, to deal with the threat of the Big Mac at any time.

…

Is the next target the 17th floor? Theoretically, the 17th floor is highly suspicious, but Sugon needs to conduct a reverse analysis. However, Shuguang may also conduct a reverse analysis. So I finally decided to go to the 17th floor.

The overall structure of the hotel is not a cube, it is a cube below the 17th floor. Half of the 17th floor is an open-air outdoor area. The building area above 18 floors is only half of the floor area.

The indoor area on the 17th floor is a bar, sauna, foot bath and other leisure departments. The swimming pools in the outdoor area are divided into three categories. One is a constant-temperature swimming pool for children to play, with one large pool and three small slide-type pools. The first type is a large recreational swimming pool, which contains various water entertainment facilities. The third category is ordinary large swimming pools.

When the elevator opened, the expected fierce battle did not happen. In front of them was an NPC covered in blood, lying on the ground asking for help. There was a 3-minute countdown above her head. With double shields covering her left and right, Shana peeled off the NPC’s clothes to confirm that she had not been bitten and infected with the virus, so she asked the knife to send her to the rooftop first.

The terrain is a very ordinary T shape, with a vertical elevator area and aisles on the left and right. Walk 15 meters to the left to reach the outside. After packing up the NPCs, the lead soldier Lin Wu walked out of the elevator area and saw two NPCs wearing chemical protective suits with the fortress logo reversed on them. One of them executed an NPC wearing ordinary clothes.

what’s the situation? Lin Wu turned to look to the right. There were also two NPCs wearing protective clothing on the right. After the two sides met their eyes, the other party immediately picked up the rifle in his hand. Lin Wu hurriedly turned around and threw himself down, and a row of bullets hit the wall.

Lin Wu: “The fortress NPC is clearing out NPCs. There are enemies on the left and right.”

Maya greeted: “Xue Dan is on the left, I am on the right, up.” Crouching, each person walked out with a shield, and they were greeted by bullets.

Maya’s pistol was exposed and shot an NPC, forcing another NPC to take cover and enter the sauna area. On the other side, Shana and Lin Wu waited for the opportunity to fire behind the shield and captured two fortress mercenaries.

Dead fortress mercenaries drop two cards, corresponding to the full magazine of the gun they hold and the 30 rounds of ammunition used by the gun. There was also a letter of command.

The general content of the order letter is that a virus leak occurred in the hotel, and the source was on the 17th floor. The Fortress ordered the Fortress mercenaries to arrive on the 17th floor of the hotel as soon as possible. Blockade the 17th floor, cut off the connection between the 17th floor and the outside world, and kill everyone.

There is also some background of the story. It was mentioned before that in order to protect the earth from human beings, some people intended to use viruses to destroy human beings. This incident may have been committed by this group of people.

According to later discovered information, the story of this event began on the 17th floor of this hotel.

After the virus outbreak, cities implemented restrictions so that people who worked in office buildings stayed in office buildings and people who were at home stayed at home. However, due to the destruction of bad guys, the control not only failed to achieve results, but also prevented healthy people from escaping, making it the first human city to completely fall.

Since the virus originated from the Fortress Company’s laboratory, after learning that the bad guys were causing disaster on the 17th floor of the hotel, the Fortress Company immediately dispatched Fortress mercenaries to parachute down to the 17th floor. Mercenaries are equivalent to labor dispatch outsourcers, and the Fortress Company can disassociate itself from them. The fortress agents have a structure, and the nature of the two is completely different.

Just after reading the letter, Lin Wu, who was already outdoors, sent a warning: “There is a helicopter, and it is speculated that new personnel have been dispatched.”

Maya: “Retreat to the elevator area first.” Calculating the time, Xiao Dao should have lit the bonfire, and still needs to wait. The elevator will come back in a few minutes.

After thinking about this, Maya realized how bad Dawn was. Before, it didn’t arrange mercenaries for the fortress, it didn’t shoot, it didn’t make a sound, it just waited for you to pick people up. Because there is a countdown timer above the NPC’s head, this is another main mission to save the NPC, and it is impossible for the player not to save it. As soon as the elevator leaves, the fortress mercenaries appear. If it weren’t for the fierce firepower of the shadows and the two shields he picked up, there might have been casualties in the first encounter.

What’s even more shameless is that when the opponent saw that he couldn’t defeat the shadow, he started to shake him.

Shana opened the smoke bomb and threw it to the left, then fired two shots at random against the wall. A grenade was thrown in front of Shana, and the shield hand Snow Egg, who had been prepared for it, moved to protect it. After the explosion, the snow egg and shield remained motionless. On the other side, Maya threw a shock bomb to the right, and then came out of the bunker with Lin Wu and killed three mercenaries who had approached 7 meters away. Maya took cover, and Lin Wu ran forward, took away the three rifles and retreated to the elevator area.

There is a service desk in the elevator area, which is used to provide consultation and other services to guests. The corded phone on the desk rang as the battle raged. Shana stepped back to answer the phone and pressed the speakerphone: “Hello.” While guarding against counterattacks from the left.

“Help.”

Shana: “Who are you?”

“I am the hotel manager. Two guests and I are trapped in the steam room of the sauna.”

Shana asked: “It is said that you know the legendary entrance to hell?”

” Help, we are dying.”

Shana looked at Maya and said, “We have to save him.”

With insufficient manpower, Maya glanced to the right. There were no more mercenaries on the right, and the entrance to the sauna was seven meters to the right. But the three mercenaries from before were using the corner of the sauna entrance as cover. Who knows how many mercenaries there are inside.

Maya looked at Lin Wu, who handed the forest wolf to Maya and nodded to say yes.

Maya: “Shayna.” Throws a shock bomb to Shayna.

Shana caught the shock bomb and did not use it. Instead, she first threw a smoke bomb to the left. After the smoke rose, she threw the shock bomb. Lin Wu left Xiaowai with Maya and set off with Shana immediately.

Lin Wu arrived at the sauna entrance alone. An injured mercenary who fell to the ground raised his pistol. Lin Wu shot him to death first. Take the card by the way and get the G36S he originally held and 30 rounds of 5.56 bullets.

There was a corridor in the sauna area. Lin Wu leaned against the right wall and looked to the left, then moved to the left and looked to the right, then entered the stealth state and got out. There was a mercenary on the left. He spotted Lin Wu first, but Lin Wu’s stealth level and agility were too high. He couldn’t tell for a moment whether the person he saw was an ally or a target, or even whether it was a human being, because he only saw A vaguely outlined gray shadow. So he hung up.

Lin Wu took away the weapons and bullets and continued to move forward. When he reached the left passage of the corridor, he suddenly saw a red dot appear on the wall and move towards him. He immediately lay down and dodged the shot.

He changed his position and took aim. This time it was Lin Wu who saw a shadow, which rippled slightly under the light. This reminded Lin Wu of the magazine he read last year, which said that some of Fortress Company’s mercenaries were equipped with stealth combat suits.

People wearing this kind of clothing can blend into the surrounding environment when they are not moving.

Lin Wu leaned against the pillar, threw his backpack, found a carbine from inside, loaded it, turned off the safety, turned sideways, and took aim. This is an M16 equipped with infrared thermal sighting function. Under the infrared irradiation, the opponent’s outline was quickly swept out, and he was killed with three bursts of fire.

There’s nothing else but a lot of guns and a lot of accessories for the guns.

Lin Wu switched back to the G36 and quickly reached the opposite side with his gun in hand. During this period, he did not find any more enemies. But to Lin Wu’s disappointment, the card he got was still a gun, an assault rifle equipped with a red dot sight. The good news is that the manager and two NPCs are nearby.

Lin Wu took three NPCs to the entrance of the sauna. After communicating with the headset, Maya and others covered Lin Wu and retreated to the elevator area and retreated into the elevator. As the elevator went up, Shana transformed into a confession seeker, and soon the manager truthfully told the truth about the location of the legendary Gate of Hell.

When the elevator reached the 32nd floor, the Shadow Team sent three NPCs to the rooftop and lit a bonfire. The manager led everyone to the edge of the rooftop, stretched out his head and took a look, and said: “Below is the swimming pool on the 17th floor. The Gate of Hell is just above the swimming pool.”

Everyone looked down. Not to mention what was below, even the fog on the rooftop was not complete. Open it and you can’t see anything at all. Maya asked with doubts: “Jump from here?”

The manager nodded, walked five meters along the edge, and said: “If you jump in this area, you can enter the gate of hell.” Do

you believe it or not? Throw the manager down? Since he is an NPC, he will definitely not be teleported to the base. How to verify whether the manager is telling the truth or lies? There is only one way, find someone to jump off.

As a leading soldier, Lin Wu was very conscious and handed his weapon to Xiao Dao.

At this time, Xue Dan said, “If you want to dance, I will do it. I have already left the hardcore mode. Lin Wu, you are much more important to Shadow than me.”

Lin Wu asked, “Are you being polite?”

“No. Lin

Wu signaled: “Please.”

Xue Dan smiled bitterly: “You can be polite.”

Xiao Dao: “How about I do it.”

Maya said: “Just Xu Dan, otherwise the quarrel will be endless.

” Putting all the equipment on the ground, he took a deep breath and looked at everyone: “Nice to meet you all.”

Everyone nodded together: “We are too.”

Xuedan: “Can you be a little more tactful?”

Lin Wu said: “When you go back Let Shitou stop being lazy.”

“Well, I’m going.” After saying that, Xuedan jumped down. Everyone listened, but there was no sound.

Then the helicopter that picked up the NPCs arrived, and the Shadow Team detained the manager and sent only two NPCs away. After waiting for another five minutes, Snow Egg still did not appear. After checking the tombstone at the base, Xue Dan was nowhere to be seen.

So Lin Wu said: “It won’t hurt to throw him away.” If it was an unjust killing, please ask the manager to complain to Shuguang himself.

“I’m here, I’m here.” Xuedan appeared in time and saved the manager’s life. Xuedan ran over and said, “It’s really a portal.”

“What took it so long?” Xiaodao asked.

“There are many problems with stones.” Xuedan said: “Everyone, give me your things and I will deliver them a few more times.”

Maya said: “Save the bullets, two pistols and two assault rifles for each person. Xuedan and I use Aka Tie a rifle, others use carbines.”

I wish everyone good health, wealth and good luck to everyone in 2024.
