State of Decay - Chapter 375

[Chapter 370 Winter]

I opened the points redemption mall, the voices of “Fuck you” kept coming and going. The first one is that the points are very high. The main combatants of Shadow have more than 10,000 points. Xuedan participates in less battles and has 8,000 points. Even Shitou and Su Shi got 6,000 points.

The second bad thing is because the first product is a base-exclusive communication headset, which only costs 10 points. What does this mean? This represents the price of goods, and it means that 10,000 points can be exchanged for many, many things.

The third shit comes from Maya, this is even harder than making Maya laugh. Everyone opens winter exclusive items under Maya’s instructions. A down jacket with a cold resistance value of 40 starts at 3,000 yuan. You must know that a cold resistance value of 40 can only withstand temperatures of minus 20 degrees Celsius. Nuclear hand warmer, six thousand. Warm ski hat with cold resistance value 20, three thousand.

Lin Wu counted on his fingers and found that his points could barely buy a set of winter equipment. The hat, clothes, and shoes together had 80 cold resistance points, which could withstand temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius. As long as you don’t go out and have fuel for the campfire, you can live quite comfortably in this extremely cold winter with 80 points of cold resistance.

The fourth damn thing comes from other items. Summer-exclusive items are so cheap. The mat is 100 points, the sandals are 100 points, and the most terrifying thing is that the refrigeration and air conditioner only has 2,000 points, which is the core component of building a central air conditioner.

Other items are not expensive either. An assault rifle only costs 400 points, and a 5.56 bullet only costs 5 points.

Maya said: “The legion I belong to has been stationed in Frozen Star for three months, and I have a deep understanding of the cold. Therefore, everyone in Shadow must have at least 50 cold-resistant equipment.” Frozen Star is the closest place to Blue Star where life exists. The planet has a maximum temperature of minus 20 degrees and a minimum temperature of more than one hundred degrees below zero. It doesn’t feel good to be cooped up in the base, but I still need to go out occasionally. Based on minus 80 degrees, the weight of various cold-resistant equipment is as high as 30 kilograms.

Maya added: “The cold resistance value of 50 can ensure that you will not suffer severe frostbite during activities at the base.” The commercial street bonfire must be modified, otherwise it will not be able to collect heat.

Maya: “Everyone buys a limited-purchase building material. There are no other requirements. If you meet 50 cold resistance points, you can buy whatever you want.” “

Daily necessities are very expensive. Toothpaste requires 500 points, and shampoo 500 ml requires 500 points.” Lin Wu said as he saw a plug-in and said: “Campfire booster, increases fuel consumption by 10% in exchange for 20% of heat. Just lie down and get 3,000 points.”

Xue Dan said: “We have unlimited electricity, but why can’t I find an appliance that generates heat? Even the light bulbs are only four-watt energy-saving lamps.”

Su Shi: “Each warm baby can increase the cold resistance by 5 points and 5 minutes. It only costs 50 points, so it’s considered a conscientious product.”

Shitou: “My conscience has been eaten by dogs, so why don’t I have a cold-resistant suit?”

Shana: “I bought a dormitory plug-in to increase the original 20 cold-resistant points to 40 points. It only needs 1,500 points.”

Maya said: “Lying in bed and wearing clothes is 50 points for cold resistance. After adding plug-ins, it can only reach 90 points for cold resistance. I suggest not to waste points on it, a dormitory The plug-in is meaningless.” The dormitory plug-in can only be used in a single dormitory.

A cold resistance value of 90 points can offset the cold of minus 45 degrees. In addition, there is data that humans will feel uncomfortable below 15 degrees. Suppose today’s temperature is minus 50 degrees, and the player wears 90-point cold-resistant clothing, the body temperature will drop to 10 degrees.

If, as the radio says, the lowest temperature is minus 71 degrees, wearing 90-point cold-resistant clothing and hiding in bed is equivalent to being in an environment of minus 11 degrees without any clothes.

The only way to help players survive the winter is fire.

Shadow’s firewood and coal reserves are pretty good, but they haven’t systematically calculated whether they are enough. All in all, converting a campfire into a small space is a must. If it doesn’t work, she can only go to Lin Meng’s safe house to spend the winter, but her safe house’s heater burns fuel and consumes a lot of fuel. In the weather last year, even the rich woman’s nightmare kept warm and burned firewood to keep out the cold.

A bundle of 20 kilograms of firewood requires 500 points. Shitou said: “Maya, there are still 10 hours after we go back, and we have to arrange for someone to go to the farm to cut trees.”

Maya said: “Understood, where is the food?”

Shitou: “I can only After the production of hydroponics was reduced, I didn’t know if it was enough.”

Xiaodao, who had already purchased the goods, said: “What I’m curious about is why no one complained? Including me. Facing the harsh living environment, I There is no thought of cursing Dawn.”

Shana explained: “Shuguang has already shown its cards on the radio, and the meaning of competition for home has become higher than the meaning of entertainment. As long as there are enough people surviving, the natural environment will further deteriorate. Want to understand this From now on, all bases with capital and capability will agree to use severe cold to eliminate competitors.”

Maya said: “Lin Wu, all your points will be used to buy cold-resistant equipment, pile it up as high as you can.”

Lin Wu burst into tears: “You Is it just me who is causing trouble?” Everyone was warming their hands by the fire, and I had to brave the cold to go out and search.

Maya apologized: “I’m sorry.”

“No, I was just joking. I have already bought all the cold-resistant equipment.” Lin Wu said: “I discovered that Lin Meng’s sweatshirt is an artifact. It does not count the coat. It is equivalent to an extra ten Points for cold resistance.”

Maya asked: “What is your highest cold resistance value now?”

Lin Wu replied: “90 points.”

Maya nodded: “You can go out above minus 45 degrees, it’s okay. Shana, I’m also buying a full set here Winter clothes can reach 80 points of cold resistance. You should control your points and buy some additional useful items when you maintain 50 points of cold resistance.”

Shana: “Understood, there are still 3 minutes left, if you haven’t bought anything, buy it quickly.

Su Shi said: “If you have extra points, you can buy some electronic components, each of which only costs 10 points. “

…

I left the event at eight o’clock in the morning and returned to the base. At this time, the sun was shining brightly and the climate was pleasant. Faced with ten hours of sunshine, Maya made urgent arrangements for work in the small square. Lin Meng, who had returned to the shadows, was sent to In the felling team, she, Su Shi, Xiaodao, Xuedan and Maya will drive a pickup truck with a different license plate to cut down trees and replenish firewood near the breeding farm. Shitou

is not staying behind to guard against fortress agents, but to harvest a batch of vegetables and plant another batch. Vegetables. In addition, the double-grid pasture on the third floor is under construction. After it is completed, Shitou will add a few chickens to the pasture catalog and put the eggs into the automatic incubator. The

bug fence purchased by Lin Meng can produce 5 bugs every day. The food needs of a chicken. Unfortunately, only one of these things can be placed in a pasture. However, because the food needs to be manually cooked, I believe there will be leftovers in the future. The

command post was successfully upgraded to Level 2, and the stone was successfully connected to the tree felling site on the farm. staff. As for Lin Wu and Shana, they were shopping in the department store opposite. When they found a cotton coat that could only be torn apart, Lin Wu complained without hesitation. The little white rabbit made Lin Wu believe it. Using realistic clothing instead of cold resistance values, not many people can survive minus 70 degrees Celsius.

Yes, there is indeed a permanent human settlement on the earth with a minimum temperature of more than minus 70 degrees Celsius, but that house is not comparable to your commercial street Is it? They also have various heating equipment, and the home is as warm as spring.

Shana: “If you have the time to chat with it, why not bring more spirits?” “

“I’m coming. “

The most valuable items in department stores are not gold, silver and jewelry, but wine store merchandise. In addition to keeping out the cold, spirits can also be used as a combustible. If you are really hungry, drink a bottle of whiskey and at least you will not feel hungry while sleeping.

The supermarket had been looted by shadows before the event. Unfortunately, it was only a small supermarket with no storage warehouse and not much food. Of course there were complaints about this. After all, Lin complained that he felt unwell after not seeing the little white rabbit for a day. Some of the fresh food in the supermarket had been devoured by zombies. The relatively intact ones were some canned and bottled pickles, and a small amount of instant noodles that survived.

What worries Lin Wu is the update that zombies will attack non-kinds, which means that both Xiao Wai and Shuang Ma may be attacked by zombies.

“Compared with the situation you mentioned, I am more worried about the behavior of zombies.” Shana said: “Zombies never realize chaos independently. What is the next step? No matter what group it is, from insects to humans, it has developed to a certain scale. After that, an order will inevitably emerge. In short, there may be a leader among the zombies.”

“Lead zombie?”

“That’s right. I know you were joking when you said the leader zombie, but if you knew animals, you wouldn’t Think about it this way.” Shana said: “Ants crossing the river, being fed by bees, and sheep jumping off the cliff are a kind of blind obedience in our opinion, and this behavior contains an important factor: the leader. Once the zombie leader in Lemon Town To attack our base, there must be a response.”

Lin Wu said: “That’s called a decisive battle. If we win, the town belongs to us, if we lose, our bodies belong to them.” “

Hey, this is not an event. Our level of armed force is very low. We originally planned to use Daily necessities can be exchanged for bullets, but in the point exchange for this event, the price of daily necessities is relatively low, and the goods we hoard are not of high value.” Shana said: “Just do some calculations, what is the approximate population of this town?”

Lin Wu said: “I remember it was around 4,000.”

“Four to five thousand is the number of aboriginal people, which does not include the former airport staff and the fortress staff who were transformed by the attack. We count it as four thousand zombies.” Shana said: “Even if every bullet hits the head, it is Don’t we need four thousand bullets? Faced with the onslaught of zombies, don’t tell me we still have cold weapons.”

Lin Wu said: “What the hell? Xiaoda found two small pieces of blood mist in the air.”

Shana was startled: ” Shuguang is so shameless, and rushed to put two blood hearts before the update. Where?”

Lin Wu replied: “One blood heart is on the edge of the upper right road, and it is expected to expand to near the bridge. There is also another one in the direction of the apartment building and the park. It is expected to cover all apartment buildings and some parks.”

Shana said: “Fortunately, it did not swallow up the commercial area.”

Lin Wu said: “What is there in the commercial area?”

“Cans… and some people may hide them in drawers Snacks, and maybe you can find a good vending machine.” Shana said: “At least you can get the materials needed for the base.”

The two chatted while working. It can be seen from the conversation that they are not optimistic about the future, but they are still Not to the point of pessimism. In short, in one sentence, I can still live, but I no longer have the charm of the past.

Shana changed the topic: “Thanks to Nightmare, if she brought the original words of the train event to Shadow, Shadow could lie flat until the end of the game with the strength of Shadow at that time.” “

Haha, is it true? I remember the beginning of Shadow’s conflict is The supply of supplies is insufficient.” Lin Wu said: “Shana, you seem to have a strong opinion on nightmares.”

Shana rolled her eyes at Lin Wu and said, “Can you please stand by your side unconditionally?”

Lin Wu: “This won’t work. I don’t like it either. Nightmare, I have never liked her, but I respect Maya very much. One of the sources of respect is her persistence. Although she is stupid, she deserves respect. Hey, what on earth do you dislike about Nightmare?”

Shana replied: “When she found me , when they asked me to fulfill the contract. I was still too young, how could I sign such a contract before immigrating?”

Lin Wu smiled and said: “You were worried that you wouldn’t be able to survive on Earth, so you didn’t let go of Fortress.” After signing the contract, you can obtain the establishment of the Earth Fortress Company regardless of whether you provide assistance to the Fortress agents or not. As the largest fortress company of Blue Star, its strength and influence directly radiate to the earth. Even if the company is in a state of perennial losses on the earth, in order to maintain its influence, the parent company will continue to provide blood transfusions to its subsidiaries.

Signing a contract is equivalent to receiving a guarantee.

Shana responded with a smile: “So my reasons can’t be put on the table, but I just don’t like it.” I can sign the contract, but why are you looking for me? As an individual, it is difficult to keep one’s mind and actions in unity. Besides, Shanna also fulfilled her contract. And she convinced Lin Wu to cause trouble for the nightmare and it had nothing to do with the contract.

“Give up this idea for the time being.” Lin Wu said: “I also know very well that Nightmare will not attack me directly. In addition to worrying that if he cannot kill me, I will use my excuse to rob the safe house, Nightmare also cares about the trust between Maya and Maya. …You don’t want the beer?”

Shana said: “Beer not only satisfies hunger, but is also nutritious.”

“Call Shana.”

“Copy that.”

Maya said: “Have you found carpets, thick curtains and other items? I’ll consider it. Seal the entrance to the store.” There are eight stores on the front of the commercial street. If the doors and windows of these eight stores can be sealed, it can effectively increase the internal temperature of the base.

Lin Wu replied: “No.”

Maya: “Okay, Shana, please arrange it.”

Lin Wu: “I said no.”

Maya: “Your tone shows that not only yes, but also very serious.”

Lin Wu said helplessly: “I don’t understand why a roll of fabric is so heavy.”

“I understand, I’ll handle it.” After disconnecting, Shana asked: “Have Maya discussed the tent base with you? If you live in the tent base , a bonfire must be used.”

Lin Wu said: “Of course I want to live in a tent, but from the actual situation, either everyone lives in a tent, or everyone lives in a shadow.” The bonfire renovation consumes a lot of building materials, but Maya and everyone think it is worth it . After the renovation, the bonfire was moved to the hydroponic room on the right side of the headquarters on the second floor, and the pasture on the left.

One of the reasons for choosing this place was the large space in the room. After deducting the land required for hydroponics, each person can carry bedding around the campfire and be allocated about three square meters of space. The second reason is that the hydroponic room has the effect of increasing the room temperature by 5 degrees. The third reason is that hydroponic vegetables are beautiful, eye-catching and comfortable to look at.

There are also disadvantages, the laundry room, bathroom and kitchen are all on the first floor.

Shana said: “Maya didn’t say it because she thought that even if you live in a tent, others would have no reason to object.” “

She wants me to give up on my own initiative?”

“No, she won’t think so. If she has such thoughts, she will directly Let’s talk to you.” Shana sighed: “Oh… It’s really scary to think about it. My momentum and magnanimity are far inferior to others.”

Lin Wu couldn’t speak to himself, and turned his head to look at the sky: ” It’s noon.”

Shana: “There are still six hours.”

“No, I mean I’m hungry.” Lin Wu asked: “Call, call, is there no lunch at noon?”

Maya: “Yes, can’t we arrange it?” If you don’t have anyone to cook, dinner may be late. If you’re hungry, you can eat canned food.”

Shitou: “I may not have time today. I’m sorting out the goods, and the workload is a bit bigger than I thought.” Send firewood and charcoal to It is convenient to access near the command post, and the ingredients can be sorted into the refrigerator or stored in the kitchen. In addition, there is also a lot of work of sorting and storing sundries and chopping firewood.

Lin Wu said: “It’s really impossible to have a home without Lao Su.”

Su Shi: “That’s right.” “

About you.” Shitou: “Lin Meng, are they lazy?”

Lin Meng: “Uncle, If you didn’t pay the spies, I definitely won’t tell you. They all work very hard.”

Shitou: “Yes, Lin Wu is not in your group.”

Lin Wu: “Old man, last time I led a team to cut down trees, Xiaodao and Lin Menglian I don’t even dare to drink.”

Maya: “If you have nothing to do, please keep the radio silent.” Chatting affects work efficiency.

“Damn Maya.” Lin Wu cursed after confirming that the microphone was turned off.

Shana said: “We also have to work harder. As the saying goes? Why sleep for a long time before you are alive? You will sleep forever after death. Why be lazy today? Winter must be boring.”
