State of Decay - Chapter 373

[Chapter 368 Retirement]

After coming out of dungeon 334, the Shadow Team returned to dungeon 771. Maya, who was always unceremonious, rarely expressed her gratitude to Xuedan for staying behind, and then began to pry the floor to install the mines. After placing 20 landmines indoors, Maya said: “Be sure to remember the location and don’t step on them.”

Laying mines was not complicated. First, lift off the carpet and pry up the tiles. Use the manuscript he brought to cut through the cement and place the mines inside. Then carefully lay out broken or unbroken tiles, then cover them with carpet, and finally unscrew a few aisle light bulbs.

Some hotel corridors, especially those in guest rooms, use very thick fire-resistant carpets. This kind of carpet is very comfortable to walk on and you can’t feel the presence of hard objects. It can be disassembled and easier to take care of.

But little did they know, these mines were completely useless.

Next, go to the 17th floor to farm guns and bullets. After a night, the mercenaries on the 17th floor had been refreshed normally. With their increasingly proficient shield use skills, the Shadow Team successfully harvested more than a dozen assault rifles. After giving the 17th floor time to refresh, the Shadow Team began to systematically clean up the floor one by one.

Since 49 NPCs have been saved, the remaining NPCs can only be killed.

The whole day could not be said to have gone smoothly. Maya, Xuedan, Xiaodao and Shana each jumped off the building once due to injuries, but Lin Wu, the leading soldier, didn’t even get a scratch on his skin.

Maya thought it was unfair to let Xuedan stay alone for several hours every day, so Shana asked Ying to take over the job. Shana returned to the base early and was supposed to take over at around 11pm, but the alarm went off at 10pm.

First message: Five minutes countdown to the zombie siege.

The second news: Shadow Base drew a seven-star defense.

“Whose dirty hands?” Lin Wu asked.

The sound of Stone whistling nonchalantly came from the headset.

In the hardcore mode, Shadow suffered a big loss in the Seven-Star Defense, losing two generals and losing the entire base. But there is no such worry at all in the active copy. The electrified iron fence has been built, there is plenty of fuel, countless bullets, four automatic turrets and one advanced turret. Even for a base like a commercial street, only one side of it is open, which is much better ventilated than the four sides of a sawmill.

Shana returned to the dungeon early to keep vigil, while the others left the dungeon and began preparing to defend the city.

Since one side of the commercial street is completely open, Maya still made some arrangements for personnel arrangements, and Shitou was also temporarily recruited to work. He uses the Timberwolf. This gun does not require high accuracy. It will leave a big hole in the zombie’s body.

Use Timberwolf for stone, how to deal with Big Mac? Maya believed that letting Big Mac get as close as 3 meters during the defense was a huge failure.

Each person prepares a rifle with 5.56 and 7.62 bullets. The 7.62 is mainly used. Not only is it highly lethal, it can also consume some of the bullets in the inventory. In the last two minutes, Maya once again explained to everyone how to press the gun. To put it simply, if the accuracy is lost or the jitter is severe, the frequency of shooting will be reduced.

At around ten o’clock, the first city defense officially began, and the system thoughtfully gave a cheering message: The points of the zombies killed by each person will be calculated for each person. These points are activity points, not game points.

Countless zombies rushed towards the power grid…

it looked like countless, but in fact a team of a hundred people running together created a scene that was even more shocking than this. The zombies jumped on the power grid, and then they went limp. Even the most agile Kuang Meng was unable to use his hands and feet. He pulled the net a few times before it fell down.

Seeing this, Maya waved, and the team pressed to the power grid, firing from a distance of three meters. As soon as a zombie dies, it will be refreshed immediately, and zombies will come in waves, turning into dead corpses one by one.

Big Mac was not much better. When he saw Big Mac, he shouted, and two gunmen came over. They fired three guns at the same time. Big Mac couldn’t even walk.

Maya regretted a little. Everyone should have brought another shotgun, there was no need to waste rifle bullets. Of course, we can’t blame her for not thinking carefully. She didn’t know that the city-defending artifact, the power grid, was so powerful. One minute into the war, the durability of only one power grid dropped below 90%. Let alone seven stars, attacking a city with ten stars would not be too stressful.

However, the power grid also has a disadvantage. It cannot enter and you cannot exit, so you cannot get the dropped items at all. The explosion rate of the active city defense battle is much lower than that of the dungeon, but it cannot handle the large number of zombies. After the 7-minute defense ended, Maya immediately shut down the power grid and everyone ran freely in the sea of cards.

…

In the early morning of the fourth day of the game, while playing Leopard Machine all night, a stone with panda eyes stopped the Shadow Team: “Where are you going?”

Maya replied doubtfully: “A copy.”

Stone: “What are you going for?”

Maya looked at the stone like an idiot. : “Buy materials and get money.”

Shitou pointed at the base: “All the facilities that should be built have been built. Now there are two Leopard machines. Even if they play 24 hours a day, they can’t finish them during the activity time.”

Shitou said . Let everyone be stunned, yes, this activity has no meaning to them.

Xuedan asked: “Maybe I can earn points?” No one knew how the event points were calculated, but when defending the city yesterday, the system specifically stated that killing zombies defending the city would count as personal points.

After thinking about it, Maya said: “We will finish the work after clearing the 771 copy.” We have everything we need. Thinking of the number of people injured yesterday, Maya thinks there is no point in taking risks.

Enter the 771 copy and wait for a while before Lin Meng arrives. Lin Meng came back after transporting the gun and completed the last NPC escort mission with everyone.

The system prompts that the dungeon BOSS is about to begin. Please go to the rooftop on the 32nd floor of the mission location.

There is a green button at the end of the aisle on the 32nd floor. It is a device that can activate something by stepping on it. Everyone checked their equipment again and put on their forehead protectors and body armor. After confirming that everything was correct, under the leadership of Maya, everyone stepped on the ground and walked to the rooftop.

Entering the rooftop, three walls rose up in front of everyone, and there was a huge blood heart on one of the walls. The three walls quickly retreated in three directions, instantly surrounding the rooftop. There is a health bar on Bloodheart’s head, and it also has a name: Evolved Bloodplague Heart.

The battle entered a one-minute countdown, and Shana spoke first: “There is a red portal under the two empty walls, which should be the entrance to the zombies. We are now about 80 meters away from the front wall and about 40 meters away from the two side walls. Either Press up, press close to the front wall, and output maximum firepower, but if you do so, you will face the risk of being surrounded.”

Shana: “Either use the aisle as a cover, and use high-damage weapons such as Timberwolves to hit the blood heart. If you can’t beat it, you can still take a ride. The elevator is out of the fight.”

The analysis was very comprehensive. Maya nodded in affirmation and ordered: “Follow me.” After that, she took the lead and ran towards the front wall.

“Great!” Lin Meng praised and followed.

Lin Wu asked beside Lin Meng: “Why did you scold Maya?”

Lin Meng said hurriedly: “Don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t.”

Lin Wu: “You said Maya is good, she is obviously a girl. Or you think it’s okay to praise me? Feminine beauty, I won’t beat you?”

That seems to be the case.

Lin Meng said while running: “Maya, listen to my explanation, I don’t mean that.”

Maya was already in place and said: “Lin Wu, don’t bully Lin Meng. Xuedan is on the left and Lin Meng is on the right, ready to fight.”

As the countdown ended, a green light dispersed, and the blood heart began to beat. Every beat seemed to make the building tremble. Looking at this four-story-high blood heart, people felt small and powerless for no reason.

Gunshots rang out instantly, and all firearms aimed to empty their magazines. Countless bullets hit the blood center, just like raindrops hitting the lake, splattering out little drops of blood. There is no need to aim, because the target is too big. The speed of changing the magazine determines the firepower, and firepower represents everything.

The best of them all is Maya, who shoots with one hand and holds the magazine with the other. After the bullets are gone, scrape the magazine with the magazine, drop the empty magazine, fill it with a new magazine, pull the bolt, and continue firing. The whole process only takes a little over a second, which is about the same as changing a pistol magazine.

Snow Egg: “The left side is coming up.”

Before Maya could say anything, Shana spoke first: “Focus on the blood heart and ignore the left and right wings.” Under the constant blood volume drop situation, she had already calculated the result: before the zombie reinforcements arrive Bloodheart must die first before the Shadow Team.

Sure enough, when the five Blood Maniacs were less than ten meters away from the Shadow Team, the Blood Heart exploded, and countless cards spewed out, falling from high altitude to the entire rooftop like snowflakes all over the sky. Bloodheart’s younger brothers turned into cards and disappeared.

Shana once again took over: “The leftmost 15 meters of Snow Egg, Lin Meng will take 15 meters, Maya will take 15 meters in the middle, I will take Maya 15 meters more, Lin Wu will be responsible for the last 20 meters on the right. Let’s run.”

Because of Shana. According to the instructions, everyone did not immediately rush to the card rooftop to search randomly. Instead, they separated to the left and right first, and then started running back and forth after arriving.

Bullets, bullets, guns, guns, bullets, building materials, chocolates, 500,000 cash, medical kits, system prompts: You can only carry one basic kit.

As everyone ran with all their strength, everyone’s system messages were beating crazily. As Shadow Squad completes a lap, the card spins significantly faster. Lin Meng, who had rubbish attributes and was about to faint, was holding on with willpower. The fastest runner is of course Lin Wu, and with his physical strength and marathon entries, he is like a gust of wind blowing here and there.

Ranked second is the double snow egg. His speed limit is not high, but his endurance is strong and he always maintains a high speed. Shanna and Maya performed quite well, neither good nor bad.

There were still 20 seconds left before the card disappeared. Lin Wu suddenly realized that he could no longer run. He quickly looked at his backpack and saw that the load capacity was as high as 300%. Looking at the items, I found that I had obtained 150 kilograms of gold bricks. With his decisiveness at full value, he immediately threw away all the gold bricks, reached the finish line in the last ten seconds, and swept away all the cards within the 20-meter area he was responsible for.

Others are not so lucky. When the time is up, the rapidly rotating card disappears into the air like a bird with wings. Then the three walls disappeared, and a golden portal appeared in the middle of the rooftop.

System broadcast: Congratulations to Shadow Base for breaking through 771 Hell Dungeon, and please other players to keep up the good work.

Before the Shadow Team could celebrate, the second system broadcast came: Congratulations to Cedar Base for breaking through the 505 difficulty dungeon, and asked other players to keep up the good work.

Without Article 2, everyone would think that system broadcasts can only be made if the Hell dungeon is broken. Only with the second point did we realize that so far only two bases have penetrated extraordinary dungeons. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to players who are still struggling on the normal difficulty level.

Throughout the game, people and bases lack meaning compared to each other. Although Homeland is an online game, it can be considered a stand-alone game because of the small number of people and the vast land.

Shuguang is obviously very aware of this, so it deliberately uses system broadcasts to arouse everyone’s desire to challenge high difficulties. In a positive sense, it encourages young people to be fearless and take on challenges. In a negative sense, it encourages young people to overestimate their capabilities, burn their lives, dedicate themselves, and illuminate others.

Success or failure depends on the hero!

The greatest significance of this broadcast is to make everyone feel that if they can do it, we should too. If others can clear through hell, we should have no problem clearing a difficult dungeon. Therefore, many people gave up on ordinary dungeons that can produce basic firearms and bullet materials, and began to challenge difficult dungeons without good development.

The most important point: you can’t quit the event copy just because you want to. Even if you can’t defeat it, you still have to find a way to fight it. If you can’t find the hidden portal, you can’t break the level, you can’t go home.

On the other side, all members of Shadow retired.

On the second day of the event, Shitou still had a balance of 120 million while playing the Leopard Machine crazily. On the third day of the event, now that they were familiar with the 771 copy and fully armed, the results of the Shadow Team were no worse than those on the second day.

The most ferocious one is undoubtedly the boss who defeated the hell dungeon, which is full of cards, including hundreds of kilograms of gold, banknotes, gems, etc. In addition to mundane items, there are also many super powerful cards.

Two death-free cards: exempt from one death penalty and teleported back to base.

Gatling Turret: 5 rounds of 7.62 bullets per second, headshot rate of 10%, no bullet consumption.

There is one advanced turret card, three ordinary turret cards, and two second-level turret cards.

Bulletproof full-face helmet: immune to headshots, three uses.

Two complete healing cards: the injured will be healed instantly.

In addition, there are landmines, grenades, shock bombs, smoke bombs, grenade guns, etc.

Shadow has built its third Leopard Game Room. They now have 400 million assets and can play Leopard Game 80,000 times. After conversion, the three Leopard machines are running 24 hours a day. At the optimal speed of once every ten seconds, it will take 74 hours to consume 400 million assets.

Their retirement time is 12 noon on the fourth day of the event. In theory, there are still 92 hours left before the end of the event. After Shana’s calculation, Maya found that there was an 18-hour gap, so she proposed to play 771 for another half day. However, she was rejected by Shitou Yi Lao Lao Lao Lao Lao Lao Lao Lao, and made harsh words: If he can use up all the chips before the end of the event, he will He and Xiao Wai became sworn brothers.

After saying this, all the staff were excited and immediately started arranging shifts. There are currently seven people in the base, and each machine can be assigned to two people. Each person only has 12 hours of working time per day. It is not difficult to achieve the goal.

The ideal is beautiful, the reality is skinny. After playing for two hours, Lin Wu suddenly discovered that Xiao Wai had a stomachache, so he took Xiao Wai to wash the dog’s legs in the river in the backyard.

The second person to take a break was Shana.

Unlike gamblers, gamblers have the mentality of expecting returns and have the stimulation of increasing or decreasing property. For example, almost no one plays mahjong without stakes. Even if someone does play, everyone will yawn continuously, which is boring. Not too much, as long as there is a hundred dollars of winning or losing in one afternoon, it can stimulate everyone’s enthusiasm.

Shitou stood by the river and shouted, “Come up here.”

“Did someone call me?” Lin Wu looked at Xiaowai.

Xiao Wai shook his head obediently, and Lin Wu continued to soak his feet. Damn dawn, the water temperature is that of late autumn, with a bit of biting coldness. But instead of becoming a joystick machine, Lin Wu started to soak Xiao Wai’s feet.

It is said that soaking dog legs can cure stomachaches. Regardless of whether others believe it or not, I believe it anyway.
