State of Decay - Chapter 390

[Chapter 385 Underground Base (Part 2)]

Maya’s door, Lin Wu sneaked out with pistols in both hands and quickly approached the guard zombie. Before the guard zombie could turn its head, Lin Wu shot it in the head. The zombie guard fell to the ground and shocked the blood. Lin Wu was not afraid of such a little thing at all and took down it with three shots. After touching the corpse, nothing was found. Lin Wu picked up the guard’s ID tag from the ground.

The three of them walked forward along the passage and saw an ID security door. Outside the door was a hall, which seemed to be a resting place. At this time, there were more than 20 blood zombies in this 100-square-meter lounge. The ID door was an explosion-proof glass door. Lin Wu guessed that when the guard escaped, the ID door closed too slowly, causing the agile Xue to chase him out of the door.

Lin Wu stopped ten meters away from the security door and said: “Call the base.”

Shana: “The base received it.”

Lin Wu said: “Our opponent seems to be Blood Heart, and we lack serum on hand.” According to previous intelligence, Fortress The company has a very strong scientific research team here. The target of the research is a vaccine, which has certain efficacy but serious side effects.

Maya said: “Don’t worry yet. I think there is a blood heart in the fortress base dedicated to research, but I can’t figure out what the goal of the mission is now. Is it to eliminate the blood heart? Or to save a certain scientist? Or to find a laboratory The secret.”

Shana asked: “How is the temperature down there?”

Lin Wu: “Hot is a word.”

Shana said: “Are you safe now?”

Lin Wu: “It’s safe if you don’t move.” It will probably be as soon as the door is opened. Instigate change.

Shana said: “Lin Meng, drive back to pick me up.”

Lin Meng pointed to herself: Me?

Lin Wu nodded.

Lin Meng turned back and pointed to the small room at the end of the corridor: Climb up?

Lin Wu made a gesture to indicate that you would have to come down in a while.

Lin Meng pulled his fists and pursed his lips, looking very angry.

Shana: “Lin Meng? Is Lin Meng here?”

“Here, here, here, you guys are waiting for me.”

Shana said, “Maya and Lin Wu, please be careful and wait until we arrive.”

“Okay.”

Lin Wu: “Oh, look at that zombie in a white coat.” The combat capabilities of the zombies here are no different from those in the outside world, but their clothes and styles are different. It can be seen that the zombies in the lounge are divided into two categories, one is the ordinary zombies released by the blood heart, and the other is the employees who mutated after being infected by the virus.

The zombie in white coat that Lin Wu was talking about was an employee zombie. It was only about five meters away from the security door where the card was swiped, and there was an ID tag hanging around its neck. It’s hard to say whether it will open this safety door by accident.

Maya analyzed: “Its existence should be another way to pass through the security door provided by the system. Slap the security door to attract its attention, let it get close to the card swiping area, and open the security door.”

Lin Wu said in surprise: “You are getting better and better at playing games. .”

Maya said: “I also played games at Blue Star.”

Lin Wu asked: “What game?”

Maya replied: “Puzzle-solving games.”

“Boring.” This is different from working in class for several years and insisting on doing it every day. Same math problem. Asked him why, he said solving problems makes me happy. This kind of happiness is really not acceptable to people like Lin Wu.

…

While waiting boringly, reinforcements finally arrived. Shana, Xiaodao and Xuedan all came. They also brought all the ammunition. After all, they didn’t know what they were going to face. There was also a small accident at this time. Lin Meng, an idiot, saw that everyone was sliding down, so he also learned to skate, but he failed to control the speed, resulting in an injury to his hand. But she still looked excited, it turned out that this was really possible.

Lin Wu swiped the card to open the door, while others were on alert. Xiaodao used bows and arrows to eliminate the active forces, and said in the middle: “We can totally consider spending the winter here.” In

theory, of course, it is possible, but there are guards patrolling before the task is triggered, and zombies may happen at any time after the task is triggered. Open the safety door. In addition, eating is also a problem.

After clearing the lounge, the team continued to move forward, and a hall with a mall-like structure appeared. They are on the second floor, and there are various laboratories below. Zombies have occupied most of the territory, but there are still more than a dozen NPCs who rely on the protection of safety doors or laboratories to lock themselves in a space.

In the middle of the experimental area is a fifty-square-meter glass tank with a blood heart soaked in it. The tentacles of the blood heart protrude from multiple small holes in the glass tank. At this time, the front of the glass jar was broken, and blood mist floated outward from the blood center.

Shana said: “They use these small holes to draw blood from Blood Heart.”

Maya: “Logically speaking, Blood Heart cannot summon bleeding zombies for no reason. If blood zombies are born from Blood Heart, then it will not There are such a large number.”

Shana knew that Maya was beginning to connect to reality again, and said: “Is there such a possibility? They use zombies to feed the Blood Heart? The Blood Heart swallowed the zombies and did not digest them, but gave them to With another form of life. When the time is right, the blood zombies break through the shield and attack the NPC.”

Maya said: “This can barely explain the past, but it cannot explain the fortress’s lack of response methods. Overall, the fortress was People were caught off guard. This seems to be similar to the Beishanghu Laboratory. I think some staff deliberately destroyed the underground base.”

Lin Wu asked: “What should we do now? Save people or kill the blood heart, or search and leave People?”

The two commanders did not answer immediately, nor could they answer. Shana walked to the wall and looked at the evacuation map: “This place is bigger than I thought. It has a dormitory area, a living area, and a work area. Our current location is in the rest area of the work area.”

Xue Dan said, “If it is Man-made destruction, will this person let the town zombies in?”

“It is possible, even if the blood heart is released, it will be difficult for the zombies to occupy the underground base.” Shana pointed: “There is also a safety exit in the living area, located in the apartment In the park near the building. There is also a material passage, which according to the terrain leads to the airport.” The

main structure of the underground base is underground in the town of Lemon, and a tunnel is also built leading to the airport. All living supplies are transported into the underground base through this tunnel.

Lin Meng reminded: “The surveillance camera keeps flashing.”

In front of them is a large staircase that can go down to the experimental area, and can be entered through a safety door. There was a surveillance camera near the security door. The surveillance camera was facing them, and its red light was beating rhythmically.

Lin Wu made a major discovery on the wall opposite the evacuation map: “There is a Morse code comparison table here.”

“Morse code.” Shana took out a pen and paper and handed it to Maya: Please.

Maya nodded, looked at the red light recording on the paper, and translated: “Hello, warriors in the epidemic area, this is the headquarters of Fortress Company.”

It probably means that Lemon’s underground laboratory was infiltrated and destroyed by the Resistance Alliance, and they opened B Use sonar to attract zombies in the apartment building into the underground laboratory. They also destroyed the blood heart guard.

Due to an emergency, the underground base will be completely blown up in four hours. By then, the apartment area and half of the commercial area will be swallowed up by the pits caused by the collapse.

What players have to do is to deliver as many surviving NPCs to the airport exit as possible within four hours. Players who participate in this task will obtain facial authentication and can freely enter and exit the airport in the future and enjoy the services provided by the airport. This includes but is not limited to taking a special plane to any city, airdropping to any location, and

each time you save an NPC, you will receive a certain amount of consumption points and weapons and ammunition in return. The consumption points are equivalent to fortress currency and can be used at the airport. Weapons and ammunition will be delivered to the player’s base via airdrop within 24 hours.

Lin Meng becomes the luckiest person. For every NPC rescued by the team, she will receive independent points instead of sharing them equally with everyone else.

After Maya finished speaking, Lin Wu complained first: “It is indeed a dog. Normal people can’t translate this information in two hours.”

Maya gritted her teeth: “I am also a normal person.”

At this point, the camera projected a bird’s-eye view on the wall Above, this is the terrain of the destroyed town of Lemmon. A large hole appeared in the middle of the town, but it did not affect the Shadow Base. And after the town was destroyed, the edge of the upper left road collapsed, and players can go directly to the U-shaped road through the upper left road in the future.

Even if you evacuate directly without completing the mission, there are two good news for players. First, there is no need to take a detour. You can turn right 200 meters out and go directly onto the road. Secondly, everyone has their faces recorded so that they can walk sideways in Lemon Town in the future. If you put Su Shi and Shi Shi into the trunk, you can probably get past the checkpoint.

The bad news is that in four hours, 70% of the town’s resources will be swallowed up by the explosion.

Maya determined the time: “There are still 3 hours and 50 minutes. Retreat in 3 and a half hours. Xuedan, stay behind and retreat. Everyone, get your guns on, Lin Wu.” Pointing forward.

Lin Wu went down the stairs and approached the security door. The zombies inside immediately lay down on the security door. Lin Wu swiped the card and retreated. The security door opened, and a dozen zombies rushed out, and were shot in the head by others who had been prepared. Lin Wu continued to advance. In the laboratory on the left, there were two NPCs hiding under the table. They used the safety door of the laboratory to gain temporary safety.

Maya said: “Ignore the NPCs for now and open a safe passage. Shana will assist, seize the time, and advance quickly.” Shana

and Lin Wu were on the left, one on the right, shooting all the zombies they saw, and soon The team reached the middle, where the bloody heart was.

Maya: “Load the rifle, switch to automatic mode, empty the magazine, and explode it.” Although the blood heart itself is harmless, putting this thing here is equivalent to leaving a time bomb for yourself.

Five shots were fired in unison, and as a magazine was emptied, the blood heart imploded in response, turning from blood red to death gray. Lin Wu stepped forward to touch the corpse and got a backpack with dual weapon racks like his own, a high-end medical kit, and an AWN, .50 caliber sniper rifle, which was one level more powerful than the Timber Wolf. This damage overflow doesn’t make much sense, though. In addition, what is better than the Timberwolf is that the recoil is slightly smaller, which is better than nothing.

Lin Wu gave the gun to Maya. The 15 kilogram weight was not suitable for him.

The five people continued to advance. Instead, Lin Wu served as the vanguard, Shana and Maya took charge of the two wings, and Xiaodao and Lin Meng stayed behind.

Perhaps this mission itself is very difficult, but Shadow is armed to the teeth. Not only does it have an amazing reserve of bullets, but it is also equipped with high-end equipment such as body armor, forehead protectors, and night vision goggles. There are even hounds like Xiao Wai, the standard combat force of a special team.

Maya adopted a step-by-step, comprehensive cleanup strategy, and the team quickly advanced to the middle section of the underground base: the living area.

On the right side of the living area is a covered bridge. There is a 45-degree slope in the past. Vehicles can pass this long slope to enter and leave the underground base and Lemon Town. The exit is right into the park next to the apartment building.

At the end of the covered bridge, two flashers were placed at the beginning of the slope, which continuously emitted extremely penetrating sound waves. This was also the main gathering area for zombies. Lin Wu picked up the Silencer and knocked away the two flashers 70 meters away. But it was of no use, because it was soon discovered that there were many flashers attached to the bottom of the corridor bridge.

There are twenty two-story buildings in the living area, and a road passes by to the second floor of the building. When staff go home from get off work, they walk across the road and turn left or right to reach the second floor of their home. It’s not really me, it’s a dormitory, with six to eight residents in one building.

There are many zombies on this road at this time. I believe there will be surviving NPCs in the small buildings on the left and right sides of the road.

Maya and Shana discussed in a low voice and said: “Lin Wu, Fei Xiaoda, blow up the covered bridge.”

Lin Wu said: “Then there will be one less way out.”

“Can you blow it up?”

“Let’s try it. .”

There is no problem with the runway, but the height of the space is only 80 meters. Lin Wu has never performed similar operations before. As Lin Wu ran, Xiaoda was also released and flew forward along the road. Lin Wu slowed down his speed and tried to turn left, but soon found that the width was not enough.

Maya stared at the personal computer screen on Lin Wu’s arm and said: “Fly close to the ground and flip back.” “

Sister, I just set a goal for Xiaodai to operate by himself. I am not really driving Xiaodang. It seems okay.” Lin Wu set a goal of flipping back. He lowered himself, made a 180-degree U-turn, turned his belly upside down, then turned his body and flew towards Lin Wu.

Lin Wu locked the missile’s impact point and launched two rockets one after the other. After the covered bridge was hit, its structure changed, but it did not collapse. It only damaged a section of the guardrail. The zombies were attracted by the sound of the explosion and swarmed onto the bridge. Under the squeeze, many zombies were squeezed out of the bridge and fell into the endless abyss.

Maya said: “Xiao Dao, Shana stays. Xiao Dao uses bows and arrows to kill zombies as much as possible. Your goal is to guard the bridge. If there is any difficulty, call immediately. In case of emergency, retreat towards the snow egg.” It cannot be seen on the evacuation map. How far is the living area from the airport, but calculated from the surface location of Lemon Town, it should be about 8 kilometers.

Maya continued to arrange work: “Lin Wu and Lin Meng continue to move forward, clear the roads and the zombies in the buildings on both sides, and bring all NPCs to the bridge. I will go back to pick up the NPCs in the laboratory.”

Shana reminded: “Maya, all the information indicates that there are underground There are saboteurs inside the base. Such complete destruction shows that saboteurs are still hiding in the underground base, and it cannot be ruled out that there is only one saboteur.”

“I will be careful.” Maya asked: “Xuedan, how is the situation over there?”

“everything is normal.”

“Okay, let’s get started.”
