State of Decay - Chapter 379
[Chapter 374 Blocking]
Shana: “Since we are going to the safe house, let’s go and play with a barrel of fuel for two hours.”
Maya looked at the stone, which nodded, and Maya said: “Okay.” Although the fuel is tight, it is snowy in winter. Local cars can’t run, but Xuedan can still produce a barrel of fuel every day.
At this time, the system alarmed that someone had invaded the safe area of the base. Everyone immediately put down their dishes, picked up their backpacks and went downstairs. Maya looked at the electronic map clearly and said: “Don’t accidentally get hurt, it’s an NPC businessman.”
Everyone went out to meet the NPC businessman, and the businessman ran towards the rooftop. Three large indoor grids have been occupied, and the business store can only be built on the rooftop. There were only about a dozen zombies following the merchant. The reason was that there were no zombies on the main road, and the surrounding areas had been raided by shadows. The NPCs turned around and around to finally bring such a surprise.
The merchants sell a relatively complete range of items, including all the required skill books. The currently active life skills are Xiaodao’s Lichenology and Shana’s Clothing Making.
Shana’s clothing-making skill is a magical skill, but it’s a pity that it has never been upgraded. You can’t blame Shana. Upgrading clothing requires proficiency and wastes a lot of fabric. The best clothes you can make with your current skill level are not as good as the clothes you can buy with points in the event.
It is more important to obtain herbs in Little Knife Lichenology. Making serum injections requires auxiliary medicines, antibiotics, and herbs.
In addition, Maya’s general practitioner is only for emergency use. As the living environment becomes increasingly harsh, a large base requires full-time doctors.
Shana calculated the price. The price of the old serum injection dropped significantly, and the exchange rate dropped from 0.1 to 0.05. You have to buy a reset skill book and then a life skill book, which is only enough for one person. Before that, you have to decide whether to choose a biochemist or a surgeon. In addition to being unable to treat zombie viruses, general practitioners also have a fatal flaw: they cannot learn combat medicine. Combat medicine is a life-saving approach to remote treatment.
Maya expressed her opinion: “I’m going to get out of general practice and study surgery, and upgrade to combat medicine. As for biochemical experts, forget it, we can make serum injections to solve this problem.”
Shana: “You are basically on duty, usually you We need combat medicine. I suggest that I come and learn it. Your general medicine can also treat diseases.”
Lin Wu said: “Although your clothes are useless to us, they can be made into clothes and sold.”
Xuedan expressed his opinion and said : “Relatively speaking, Shana, who has less attendance and closer attendance, is more suitable than Maya.”
Lin Meng weakly raised his hand and said: “I’m here.”
Everyone looked at Lin Meng, and Lin Meng said: “I have no life skills, I don’t need to Reset the skill book.”
Everyone looked at Lin Meng for another second, and Lin Wu said: “Shana, learn it.”
Lin Meng was dissatisfied: “I can learn it.”
Lin Wu looked at Lin Meng: “You go to work with us obediently, When someone needs to take the rear seat and die, we will take you up. After you learn combat medicine, who should we let take the rear seat?”
Lin Mengru discovered the new world: “Yes, I can take the rear seat. Wow, thank you Lin Wu, I Finally found my own advantage.” After joining Shadow, Lin Meng was crushed in all aspects. Whether it was combat, game knowledge, or even her financial expertise, Shana was instantly reduced to rubbish. Finally, she discovered that a shadow had an advantage that no one else could compare to her, and it was a particularly important and irreplaceable advantage. That means you can die at any time…
Why is it so weird? No matter, I’m happy anyway. This is value. Everyone has a basic need for value recognition.
So Shadow emptied his pockets and succeeded in getting Shanna to become a combat surgeon. The reason why such a large cost was invested was also because Lin Wu was injured today. If a field worker is injured and no one else can help him, he can only wait to die. Once something like this happens, let alone Lin Wu, no one can accept it if it were someone else.
After emptying his pockets, Shadow still had five old serums and 150 rounds of hand ammunition. 5.56, 80 rounds. 7.62, 0 rounds. .50, 12 rounds. Four carbines, Silencers and Repeating Silencers, and several pistols. Seriously under-armed. Doing Lin Meng offensive and defensive missions has become the only way to earn weapons and bullets.
…
On the morning of the third day of winter, Lin Meng’s offensive mission was activated. In 10 minutes, two alliance trucks will forcefully break through and enter the airport. Heavy machine guns are mounted on trucks, and each vehicle has 4 to 5 armed personnel.
The basic success condition for the mission is to block a truck for more than 5 minutes. This means that if the result is lower than this standard, the task will fail, and if the result is higher than the basic conditions, the task will be successful, and the score will be based on the actual situation.
An unexpected benefit came from the mission: the information of the mission person Lin Meng was entered into the Lemon Security Defense System. In the future, she can be like an NPC and will not be chased by drones even if she is caught on camera.
The mission provides a route map. Two trucks will come from outside the town, pass through the main road, pass the highway bridge, force their way through the border to the airport, and launch an attack on the airport. Perhaps it was the reason why Big Mac was used by Shadow last time. This mission specifically stated that the sound made during the blockade would not attract zombies.
According to Lin Wu’s guess, Lin Meng complained about the mission, and after getting the answer, he reported back to everyone: “The checkpoint will be rebuilt after the mission is over, and all alliance soldiers will be killed.”
Maya arranged the work: “Lin Wu holds the Silencer Provide fire support on the rooftop. Lin Meng laid mines in the open space in front of the bridge, and he, Shana and Xue Dan were on the edge of the safe zone, using rocks to hide. Xiao Dao and I borrowed supermarket buildings on the right to provide support.” The activity area is restricted and can only be accessed from one direction to provide fire support for side blocking. However, the task requirements are not high and everyone is very confident.
A few minutes later, a convoy of two trucks entered the main road. A heavy machine gun is installed on the top of the cab of the two vehicles. When approaching the ambush area, the first vehicle slowed down, opened fire with its heavy machine gun, and strafed the ground wildly, detonating landmines one by one.
The soaring Xiaoda has already locked onto the truck. Maya gave an order, and two rockets flew towards the two trucks. After the explosion, both vehicles were scrapped, and the two drivers were killed on the spot. Six armed men jumped out of the vehicle, each took their weapons, and used the wreckage of the truck as cover to find the location of the ambushers.
On the rooftop of the base, Lin Wu’s white winter coat blended in with the snow. He reported the current situation with a telescope. The two cars were parked in the open area in front of the bridge, and the alliance had no intention of leaving the car. These six people were very careful, using simple periscopes to observe the outside world and not showing up easily.
Maya said: “They are wasting time. This is an offensive mission. After the time runs out, we can only get basic results. Shana, launch a feint attack.”
Shana showed up and shot at the truck. After exposing the location of the attacker, the six NPCs immediately began to suppress the rocky area. They formed two columns and charged towards the rocky area. Their firepower was so fierce that Shana and the three of them were unable to show their heads. The so-called rock area is just a place where a small amount of stone is piled up, and it is not an excellent bunker.
Lin Wu shot and knocked down one person, who immediately retreated. Two of them shot in Lin Wu’s direction, forcing Lin Wu to leave the shooting point. Maya and Xiaodao took action at this time. They blocked the road for the NPCs to retreat to the truck, forcing the NPCs to lie down in the snow and engage in firefights with them.
Of course, the NPC suffered a big loss in this way, but the combat quality of this group of armed personnel was quite high, and they always suppressed the rock area and the rooftop, making it impossible for these two firepower points to target output. Although Lin Wu changed positions frequently, his position was only in such a small area. Players suffer from the longer combat distance and lower shooting accuracy. In addition, the lack of bullets is also a reason, and the combatants lack one magazine.
Lin Wu withdrew from the forward position, recalled Xiaoda, attached incendiary bombs to Xiaoda, and then released Xiaoda again. The flying process was not easy. The rooftop was covered with snow, and it took all my strength to reach the flying speed.
Xiaoda took off, and Lin Wu lay on the snow and turned his camera to lock the target. Xiaoda turned back in the air and swooped down quickly. When he reached 30 meters above the NPC, Xiaoda released the incendiary bomb. The incendiary bomb hit the NPC group with inertia and exploded into flames.
They were wearing the same winter clothes as Lin Wu. Zhuge Liang once said that those who benefit from water must be unfavorable to fire, so their clothes were instantly ignited.
There was no suspense next. The NPC defense formation collapsed and they only wanted to put out the fire. They had no time to worry about anything else. Maya took the opportunity to lead the Knife and Shana teams to break out of the bunker and kill all the NPCs easily and happily.
The additional reward for this mission is in the back of the truck. Within five minutes after the blocking battle begins, any baggage you can take from the rear bucket is yours. The entire mission only lasted five minutes. After five minutes, a swarm of drones from the airport launched and blasted the truck into rubble.
Lin Meng glanced at the time prompt: “There are still 30 seconds.”
Maya dragged a green box in the back bucket: “Go on.”
“Okay.” Lin Meng, who was under the car, hugged him with both hands, and was knocked over by the box in the snow. .
Shana, Xiao Dao and Xue Dan were busy in the second car.
A red circle suddenly appeared in the area centered on the truck, which was the range where the drone was about to bomb. Lin Wu, who was on the rooftop, saw a spectacular scene. Dozens of drones took off from the airport and flew toward the bombing area.
Lin Wu: “Let’s go, let’s go.”
Maya: “Each person brings a box, let’s go!”
Su Shi and Shitou ran to the truck to help carry things. Lin Wu also sent Xiao Wai, probably I can’t help. As for himself, it was too far away, time did not allow, and at the same time, he had to take on the task of investigation.
Seeing the drone approaching, Lin Wu urged: “Go quickly.”
Maya and Su Shi carried a green box and finally evacuated the bombing area. About 5 seconds after they left the red circle, bombs rained down from the sky. This mission resulted in the addition of two scrapped trucks in the open space at the bridgehead, which does not affect traffic. Players can demolish them if they don’t like it.
It seemed that every box was very heavy, and everyone used their strength to drag the boxes back. It seemed that it was because of the knife that she was carrying a long green box in her hand, as if she was carrying an empty bag.
Due to the annihilation of all alliance NPCs, the mission completion level was S level, and the mission leader Lin Meng received a lot of points. Now let’s look at the rewards attached to the mission.
Putting the five boxes in the small square, Su Shi used a crowbar to dig open Maya’s box first. What he saw were two large parts and some small parts. From the instruction manual, we learned that this is a set of signal transmitters. It has no other purpose except that it can be dismantled to obtain a large number of electronic components.
Maya didn’t need comfort, and everyone didn’t waste their words.
Shana’s box contained ten barrels of fuel. There was cheering, and Shana responded with a smile.
The box Xuedan got back was a field radio communication system, which was as worthless as Maya’s box.
Xiaodao couldn’t wait to open the lightest box he brought back. Inside was a beautifully packaged RBD carbine. It was very beautiful in shape and had a strong sense of technology. The gun was only 76 centimeters long and weighed only one kilogram. It should be the best that everyone has ever seen. The most beautiful carbine ever.
Because it is a rare gun in the collection, this gun eventually belonged to Lin Meng. Xiaodao was not dissatisfied because of this, and was very happy that he could help Lin Meng.
The last box was brought back by Shitou for Lin Meng, and it was the box that almost crushed Lin Meng. This box is divided into two layers. The upper layer contains two common disassembled M4 carbines, equipped with double scopes. Below are 120 rounds of 5.56 bullets. These things are not heavy, the main thing is the box.
Lin Xiaoren guessed that because this box of supplies was the most valuable, Shuguang deliberately increased the weight in the hope that the players would retreat in spite of the difficulties.
Costs 42 rounds of ammunition and a can of fuel. In exchange for ten cans of fuel, a bunch of electronic components, 3 assault rifles, and 120 rounds of ammunition. It can be said to be a huge profit.
As the mission ends, the next attack mission is also refreshed. The keywords are: World War II, copy, stealth, assassination, two-player. You can bring any items into the dungeon, and you cannot take non-card items out of the dungeon.
When she heard that it was a two-player dungeon, Maya was a little hesitant at the time. There were too many uncertainties in letting Lin Wu and Lin Meng enter the dungeon. Maybe Lin Meng killed Lin Wu, maybe Lin Wu killed Lin Meng. Since she can carry items into the dungeon, for the sake of safety, Maya decided to refresh the rockets 24 hours before challenging.
…
Today’s chefs are Shi Shi and Maya, and breakfast is white porridge with pickles. Lunch is Maya’s signature chowder hot pot, which contains meat, seafood, vermicelli, radishes, potatoes and more than ten kinds of food. The big pot was placed on the bonfire to continue heating, and everyone got bowls, chopsticks and spoons to start. The taste isn’t great, but it’s not bad either. You can choose the food you like. Overall, it’s pretty good.
This puts the pressure on Shanna and Xiao Knife, tomorrow’s chefs. The knife said it could pay tribute to Maya, and a whole pot of chowder came out. After all, Na still has a winning spirit and thinks she can have a barbecue. There is an iron plate in the kitchen. It is not complicated to put the food on it to bake it and put it on the iron plate to keep it warm and season it.
The meal was eaten slowly and there was a lot of chatting, but Maya barely spoke as usual.
“What are you doing this afternoon?” Xiao Dao asked.
Shitou looked at Maya: “Go to the safe house to burn a barrel of fuel?” Although the temperature is low, it is still the first ice, and ice fishing cannot be arranged.
Maya didn’t object: “Okay.”
But not everyone likes the basement safe house. Wear warm clothes and sit on the rooftop to enjoy the scenery. It’s not bad to go to the river to knock ice. However, these projects are not suitable for group activities and are more suitable for one person.
Su Shi is making skates and ice drills. Shitou went to take a hot shower and came out to complain about the system’s stubbornness. If the hot water could be connected, the base would be as warm as spring. And is it a rule that you can only take a hot bath for half an hour a day?
Lin Wu put on his sunglasses, lay in the snow on the rooftop, and played with Xiao Wai. Not far away is Maya, who is sitting in a daze. I have no idea what she is thinking, but there is a sentence engraved on her forehead: ‘Don’t talk to me, I want to be alone.’
Shana sings in the safe house, Xue Dan plays billiards alone, and Xiao Dao sits at the bar listening to music. Soon, Shitou and Su Shi joined in, playing billiards and darts.
Lin Mengze went to the airport. As one of Bastion’s ten bases, the airport provides a training range dedicated to Bastion agents. 300 points can be used to play for three hours. In this morning’s battle, Lin Meng once again realized the gap. She communicated with Maya privately, and Maya told her that it was the same as driving. The more you drive a car, the more you become familiar with it. All sharpshooters are fed by bullets and time.
