State of Decay - Chapter 122

[Chapter 121 The Bounty Road]

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Lin Wu and Shitou explained that they were going to Beishang Town to exchange some ropes.

Stone: Go to hell.

Maya: We need lots and lots of rope.

Stone: Follow me to get it.

Lin Wu: Old stuff. Unable to bear it, the extras didn’t pay attention this time, Lin Wu kicked the stone’s ass, and the two started to fight each other with eight punches, and were soon separated by the extras.

After getting 15 pieces of 40-100-meter-long various ropes, Maya and Lin Wu were not satisfied. They put the ropes in the trunk of the car and drove to Beishang Town. The scrapped cars in the death zone have been cleaned up by Lin Wu, and the traffic is currently unimpeded. It’s just that everyone knows that the resources near the church on the top of the mountain have been swallowed up by the shadows, and no one comes to stroll around.

After a few months, Lin Wu returned to Beishang Town again, and now Beishang Town is completely different. Walking on the road in the community, the villas on both sides have been occupied by players, and there are very few places where zombies can be refreshed. Other people have already moved in at the old shadow base, and Lin Wu went to the door and chatted with the other party specially.

Lin Wu and Maya exchanged a box of pistol bullets for rope. Since every household has a pistol, pistol bullets have become hard currency in Beishang Town. This box bullet can be traced back to Lin Wu’s search for history in the Navy souvenir shop.

The players in the community are very enthusiastic, and everyone is in a good mood. Some make tea, some skip rope, some play backgammon, and several families organize barbecues, just like a real real community.

After another 15 ropes were changed, Lin Wu and Maya declined the invitation of the two trading players due to concerns about equipment locking, returned to the car, and drove away. No matter how good the law and order is, it is not convenient for the unfamiliar rich to haunt the slums.

…

Due to driving, the two stayed at the Shadow Base, waiting for the zombies at the checkpoint to check in after work. At this time, after discussing with the two deputy commanders, Shitou decided to advance the weekly clothing upgrade activity to today.

Everyone rushed into the production room, and Shana asked, “Who…”

“Me.” Lin Wu answered quickly.

Shana gritted her teeth: “I’m asking who is the second one. Since you like it so much, then you can take the second one.”

Lin Wu asked, “What if the first one is broken? Will he blame you or me?”

Shana was stunned, and what she said made sense, she reached out her hand: “Bring it.”

When the clothes are upgraded to level 2, the chances of success, failure, and broken are exactly the same. Once the upgrade is successful, the cold resistance of clothes and pants will increase by 15 points respectively, and the total cold resistance will reach 90 points. At zero temperature, 50 cold resistance points are required, and then two points are converted for each degree. Level 2 clothing with 90 cold resistance points can resist the low temperature of minus 20 degrees. As long as the upgrade is successful, this winter will be more pleasant.

Thirty seconds later, Shanna was not in a hurry when faced with everyone’s questioning eyes. She took out her underwear from the warehouse of the production room and looked at Lin Wu: “You guess.” Lin Wu replied: “Failure.” Shana asked

back

: “Why?”

Lin Wu: “If it breaks, you will feel sorry for me. If it succeeds, you will feel sorry for yourself.” “

Although you are right, I am not that kind of person.” Shana took out the clothes and traded them to Lin Wu. fog. That’s right, the upgrade failed, wasting materials. At present, Lin Wu’s clothing is level 1, with a cold resistance value of 60 points, and the temperature environment of not lower than minus 5 degrees has no effect on Lin Wu.

It was not broken and it was not successful. From the principle of padding the knife, the knife was not completed. Stone applied for the second battle: “Suit.” The first upgrade failed, and the second upgrade failed again. Stone found a place to sit down, held his head and remained silent.

Lin Wu comforted: “Maybe someone else succeeded because of your failure?”

Shitou looked at Lin Wu and said, “Thank you for your comfort.”

Because the clothes of Xuedan, Su Shi and Xiaodao were broken during the first upgrade, so today They get a base outfit, but are not entitled to upgrades.

After two failures, Maya gave up the opportunity to Ma Hun. Horse Soul is hesitant, his clothes are level 1, should he give up upgrading? Seeing that the horse soul did not make a decision, Maya handed over her clothes, but it still failed, and she was still a level 1 dress. Maya let out a sigh of relief when she heard the result of the failure, as long as it is not broken, she is content.

In the end, there are two people left, Ma Hun and Shana, both of which are level 1 clothes. Shana looked at Ma Hun, and Ma Hun gritted his teeth: “Go ahead.” Shana began to

upgrade the clothes. After 30 seconds, Shana fisted with both hands: “Success, Yeah, success.” He hammered Lin Wu, who was closest to her, twice on the shoulder.

“Hmph.” Lin Wu gave a casual and arrogant voice, and cooperated with Shana to high-five. Level 2 clothes can also be upgraded to level 3, but the success rate is only 25%, the failure rate is 25%, and the broken rate is as high as 50%. From a practical point of view, there is no need for an upgrade.

After everyone congratulated Shana for obtaining the ultimate cold-resistant clothing, they all looked at the horse soul. Ma Hun was even more entangled. Everyone was promoted, but he felt too timid if he didn’t. But Shana has already succeeded, and the probability of her failure to upgrade now will be very high.

Shitou said: “When you are hesitant to take a gamble, you must not take this gamble, because you can’t afford to lose. Giving up is also a kind of courage.”

Ma Hun thanked Shitou’s steps and said: “I will be promoted next week. “

Lin Wu: “Why don’t you give me the quota, and I’ll try again?

” You and the horse soul are both level 1 clothes. If you succeed, the horse soul must be upset. You fail and waste material. Your clothes are torn, you lose your clothes. Stone believes that Lin Wu’s grab for this spot will have a negative impact no matter what the result is.

“Stingy.” Lin Wu looked at the time and said, “Then Maya and I will go away.”

Shitou asked, “How much is the threat value of your base?”

Lin Wu looked at Maya, but he didn’t pay attention. The threat value can only be obtained when you are in the base. Check. Maya said: “Five and a half stars.”

Stone sighed: “I know it. You just build it.”

In the northeast of the supermarket base, two screaming zombies are within the shooting range of the sentry tower. The two screaming zombies in the southwest are outside the shooting range of the sentry tower, but within the shooting range of the supermarket base safety zone. The former will not increase the threat as long as the zombie is killed, and the latter will increase the threat regardless of whether the zombie is hit or not.

Maya felt that what Shishi said made sense: “We should get the two cars mentioned by the nightmare first.”

Lin Wu said: “Then let’s go to the Invincible Base.”

Maya nodded: “Okay, then let’s hurry up.” Hurry up and go back to the supermarket base, go to the cement factory to get more serum, go to the Wudi base to make some serum, and discuss with Wudi whether you can exchange the serum for a car… Seeing the two rushing away, Shitou told them behind them like an old mother

: “Remember to sleep.”

Shana said leisurely beside the stone, “Why don’t you ask them why they want so many ropes?”

“For what?”

Shana: “I don’t know, but it must not be something ordinary people can do. “

Shitou sighed:” Maya and Lin Wu shouldn’t be allowed to get mixed up. It’s hard to get rid of the water, and Maya is addicted. If you don’t die last time, you won’t be able to turn back.” … There is also a blueprint of Zuo County’s sewer at the entrance of the sewer on the county mark, and the one in the city

hall

. The only difference is where the player is identified.

Maya said: “This time I will use the triangulation method. At the beginning, I will not walk in the direction of the target. I will face the direction of the target, and determine two points through the directions of 11 o’clock and 1 o’clock. These two points form a triangular position with the target. This method The biggest advantage is that you don’t need to memorize the whole journey, you only need to memorize half of it. If it still doesn’t work, you can split the points into triangles.”

Lin Wu couldn’t understand it at all, but in actual operation Lin Wu knew what it meant. Assuming that the starting point is A and the goal is B, first go to point C, then return to point A along the rope, and go from point A to point D. At this time, ACD and BCD form two triangles. Then follow the rope back to point A to look at the blueprint.

The second stage pushes CD two points forward, as close to point B as possible. Although the process is cumbersome, through continuous positioning, not only will not deviate from the direction, but also have a clear understanding of the position of each point on the blueprint. Even if there is a deviation in positioning, it can be corrected through the blueprint. Even if it is not corrected, it will not deviate too far from the target point B.

The most important thing is that Maya can strengthen the route memory in her mind by locating again and again and walking back and forth again and again. The driver drives through an unfamiliar and somewhat complicated road section. The driver can use two methods: not using navigation and using navigation.

Assuming that the driver passes the road section by means of street signs or asking for directions, he will have a certain probability of passing the road section for the second time. After many times, the driver will fully grasp the road conditions. If the driver passes the road section completely through navigation, even if he has passed it many times, it is very difficult for the driver to pass the road section smoothly without using navigation.

Although the driver who uses navigation runs more times, he cannot form a memory in his mind. If Maya can find the city hall by her own exploration, the probability of getting lost in the future will be greatly reduced.

The process was not smooth, but the result was good. After more than three hours of tossing, the two finally arrived at the city hall.

Maya’s task has not been completed yet, so Lin Wu took a task first. The good news is that the task of killing the blood plague can be done with Maya. The bad news is that only the blood plague zombies killed by Lin Wu himself may have exclusive mission items: 20 blood essences. Reward: A set of five Bluetooth intercoms with a range of one kilometer does not need to be charged.

The two returned from the sewers of the city hall. The rope was long gone. The role of the rope is like a marker, and one is pulled horizontally at some key positions. Now is the time to really test Maya. Maya first looked at the blueprint for 5 minutes, memorized her route in her heart, and then led Lin Wu to set off.

I got lost many times during this period. Fortunately, every time I got lost, Maya could quickly find the abnormality and immediately went back to correct the route. According to Maya, it is very simple, she has never seen this scene. In Lin Wu’s view, many scenes look exactly the same. Maya disagreed with this. She gave an example of two passages that seemed to be the same, but in fact there were many differences. Such as the width and height of the channel, such as the next scene connected by the channel, etc.

Anyway, it took more than three hours for Maya and Lin Wu to get out of the sewer of the county mark. Lin Wu was not happy about this, even if he didn’t get lost, it would take at least two and a half hours for a round trip. Lin Wu thought that it was not worth spending two and a half hours in the stinking sewer just to break the mission. But Lin Wu didn’t say anything, but instead praised Maya, and Maya expressed her happiness for her return.

Just be happy, and be worthy of my 7 hours of silent endurance.

It was already three o’clock in the morning when they arrived at the cement factory from the county mark, and the two of them had no intention of going to bed at all. According to the route of Maya’s investigation, Lin Wu sneaked alone and touched the vicinity of the blood plague all the way.

But this blood plague is a bit troublesome. The blood plague in Building 2 is in a separate room, and the tunnel blood plague is in the No. 7 car. This blood plague is in a factory building of 3,000 square meters. The blood plague is attached to a machine and connected to the ceiling, spreading its plant-like tentacles along the ceiling. There are a lot of blood plague zombies and ordinary zombies in the factory. The most terrible thing is that some zombies wear safety helmets, which is not conducive to Maya’s beheading.

Although Lin Wu didn’t understand what the relationship between the helmet and the neck was, there was nothing you could do with it if Shuguang wanted to play like this.

Lin Wu squatted and sneaked at the south gate of the factory area, took out a muffler and put it on the silent man, and pulled the trigger on the blood plague zombie wearing a helmet about ten meters away. The bullet penetrated the helmet, and the zombie was fatally shot. It seems that safety helmets are not bulletproof.

After collecting the data, Lin Wu retreated back the same way, climbed up to the roof of a nearby building with Maya, and observed the brightly lit factory building a hundred meters away.

“Can only use guns?”

“Molotov cocktails should work too.”

Maya calculated, “The cement factory is one kilometer away from our base. Know the surrounding zombies. Then use the car to pull away the zombies in the factory. Even if the zombies keep refreshing and prevent us from entering the factory, they can replenish zombies for our base.”

Lin Wu asked: “You drive, I’m in charge of madness?”

Maya said: ” You can’t use a knife, you can only kill with a gun. Or use a gunshot to pull away Kuangmeng and then execute Kuangmeng.”

Lin Wu said: “The operation is very detailed.” Maya’s speed should not be too fast, nor too slow. When you are following the car, you must find the madness in the zombie group in time and eliminate it. From Lin Wu’s point of view, it is easy to make mistakes in such a detailed action. Even if he can guarantee 100% concentration, he cannot guarantee that he will not make mistakes.

Maya also felt that it was not operable, the zombies were dumped when the car was fast, and the car exploded when the car was slow. Lin Wu didn’t pull Kuangmeng away immediately, Kuangmeng would stand out from the crowd of corpses and attack the car. Also pay attention to the zombies on this mile road.

Maya said: “Other than that, I can only think of one stupid way. I come here to practice swordsmanship every day, and first reduce the density of zombies to a certain level.”

Lin Wu asked: “It’s better to change to a blood plague.”

Maya said: ” Of course I have considered it. But apart from the farm where we killed the giant, there is no other blood plague in the surrounding area.”

Lin Wu said: “I will look for it after the drone is fully charged tomorrow during the day, the cement factory The area is too big, not suitable for serum.”

Maya agreed: “Let’s go back first, hurry up and rest.”

“Yes.” Lin Wu stretched out his hand to look at the sky: “Is it raining?”

Maya also stretched out her hand, and a drop of water fell on Maya’s palm On the way, Maya held the water drop and said: “The temperature will drop again soon.”

Lin Wu said: “Our clothes have been upgraded, so it’s not a big problem.”

Maya nodded: “It’s not a big problem for the time being.” Only temporarily. Maya believes that this winter will definitely exceed minus 5 degrees. It seems that for a long time in the future, she can only go out during the day and rest at night. But I haven’t found all the world famous books to build a library, how to spend the long night?
