State of Decay - Chapter 12

[Chapter 12 Olive Manor (Part 2)]

Lin Wu, holding a steak knife in his hand, knelt on one knee and waited for a moment. A girl stood up from the ditch. That’s right, it’s a girl, a very beautiful black-haired beauty, she was wearing an emerald green suit, her whole body was completely soaked, she held a dagger in both hands and pointed at Lin Wu and shouted: “Don’t come here, go away.” He also pretended to draw a picture twice.

Lin Wu definitely didn’t stand on a high place to look at her because she was wearing low-cut clothes. Lin Wu realized that this girl didn’t seem to be a player. Lin Wu is not too sure. From the beginning of the game to the present, Lin Wu has wandered half of Beishang Town, but has never seen a single NPC.

“Are you okay?” Lin Wu asked.

“Are you a human? A living person?” the girl asked in surprise.

Lin Wu nodded: “Yes.” That’s right, it’s an NPC.

“Great.” The weak girl finally saw a living person, and fainted immediately after being excited.

What’s happening here?

Lin Wu took out the game manual and rummaged through it. After searching for a long time, he couldn’t find a way to deal with fainting. After waiting on the spot for five minutes, the girl lay motionless in the ditch. She had a heartbeat and a pulse, but she just didn’t wake up. Lin Wu looked around, flipped through his backpack and took out a rag from the zombie just now, wet the rag with water and covered the girl’s mouth and nose.

After suffocating for a few seconds, the girl sat up with a clatter, and took off the rag. She didn’t feel anything wrong, and she remained happy when she saw Lin Wu: “Great, great, I finally met someone.” The

girl Reaching out his hand, Lin Wu remained vigilant and pulled her out of the ditch, and the girl sat down and talked. It turned out that she was the only daughter of the owner of the olive manor, and her name was Amanda. After the zombie virus broke out a month ago, her father placed her in the underground secret passage of the manor. Her father planned to arrive at the quarantine area in Beishi first with others, and then find a way to find a friend of the deputy mayor of Beishi, and drive his friend’s helicopter to Olive Manor to pick up his daughter.

Amanda drank clean water after living in the secret passage for several days, so she had to come out to find the water source, but she did not expect to encounter zombies. Facing the threat of zombies, she can only lock the secret passageway. She went all the way to the end of the secret passage, removed the iron fence, and found that there was a ditch in front of the iron fence.

The girl disassembles and installs the iron fence to fetch water every day, and waits for her father in the secret passage. The sky was not what people wished, the secret passage collapsed last night, she tried her best to climb out of the secret passage, and now she has no food or water on her body.

I do not have either! Is it possible to bring the NPC back to the base to eat rations? According to Lin Wu’s understanding, the appearance of NPC is a plot requirement or a mission requirement. To be reasonable, under normal circumstances, there will be no players on this road for three to five days, and his appearance is completely accidental, so this task is also accidental.

From this, it can be judged that this should be a task with very good rewards, and it also shows that the difficulty of this task is not low.

Amanda told Lin Wu that only the middle and tail of the secret passage collapsed, and there was sufficient food in the first half of the secret passage, and the entrance of the secret passage could be opened from the outside after reaching the manor. So Amanda wanted to ask Lin Wu to escort her back to Olive Manor.

Lin Wu received a mission prompt: escort Amanda back to the Olive Manor, and help Amanda lead the water source to the secret passage. The task reward is a question mark.

Lin Wu reached out to take over the task, isn’t it just a gentle slope of 300 meters? But after walking for more than ten meters, Lin Wu gave up, because there were not only zombies in the weeds, but also landmines and traps.

Pushing aside the reeds, there is a sign that reads that there are mines and traps inside, please do not enter unless necessary. Presumably the father felt sorry for his daughter, so he buried the entire gentle slope of Olive Hill with landmines overnight and set up traps.

Lin Wu looked back at Amanda: “Amanda, I am not familiar with the manor, can you lead the way ahead? I will protect you.”

Amanda immediately quit: “I am not familiar with the road either. Warrior, after returning to the manor I will definitely reward you.”

Since we can’t reach an agreement, forget it, you go back to your gutter, and I go to my church.

Lin Wu deleted the task, and the girl knelt down and cried sadly, “What should I do?”

Also, how could such a weak woman survive with only a dagger in her hand. Um? Um!

“Amanda?”

“Huh? Warrior, have you changed your mind?” Amanda asked in surprise.

Lin Wu ignored the task reminder, sat down next to Amanda, and asked, “Do you know there is an idiom?”

“Idiom? What idiom?” The NPC created by AI Shuguang can chat about everything except the content that cannot be chatted.

“Every man is not guilty, but the dagger is guilty.”

After finishing speaking, Lin Wuren rushed forward, stroking Amanda’s back with his left hand, and stabbed Amanda’s chest with his right hand.

Lin Wu often plays games and has never shown mercy to NPCs. NPC is a tool of the game, which is the basic logic of the game. From Lin Wu’s point of view, Amanda is no different from the zombie itself, they are both NPCs. The difference is that the zombie doesn’t have a dagger in his pocket, but Amanda has a dagger in his hand.

Amanda looked at Lin Wu in disbelief: “You…you…”

Lin Wu pulled out the steak knife, made another knife, and when Amanda died, he reached out and took the dagger from Amanda’s hand.

A fine steel dagger can be made into steel after a hundred refinements, it can be refined in a thousand years, and it can be refined into fine steel only a thousand times.

Weapons have no attack value, only durability and additional attributes. The additional attribute of the fine steel dagger is sharpness. The sharp explanation in the game manual is that without resistance, it takes the same force to pierce a zombie’s head as it does to pierce a piece of paper.

Hanging the dagger on the backpack, Lin Wu groped Amanda’s whole body without any evil intentions. In Lin Wu’s eyes, Amanda was the existence of 1 and 0.

A key to the secret passage of the Olive Manor, a pair of earrings, two handkerchiefs, and then gone. I can’t take other things down, and I can’t do anything else if I have evil thoughts. After searching, Lin Wu turned around and left. A minute after his death, Amanda’s body turned into white light and disappeared. Perhaps Amanda could realize a truth before she died: in the end, human beings will always be more terrifying creatures than zombies.

…

The church on the top of the mountain has cliffs on three sides and a road, which is an excellent base that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. On the left side of the church on the top of the mountain, there are four seven-storey residential apartments and supporting small commercial streets, and there are two large factories on the right side. You can know with your toes that there are countless building material packages stored in the factories. The backyard of the church on the top of the mountain is very large, and you can grow vegetables and raise poultry in captivity. As long as it can develop, the church on the top of the mountain is indeed a good base.

But Lin Wu intuitively felt that it would not be easy to take down the church on the top of the mountain. He sat on a high place for ten minutes and observed from a long distance, and found that there was a faint red thing floating in the church on the top of the mountain. Lin Wu was careful to avoid the zombies, and if he couldn’t dodge it, he assassinated him by tailgating. He slowly moved to the vicinity of the factory and climbed up the 100-meter-high communication tower.

Although the angle is good, but the distance is far away, Lin Wu can only see red or blood-colored creatures in the church, and Lin Wu can’t draw a conclusion on what it is.
