State of Decay - Chapter 16

[Chapter 16 The Fierce Battle (Part 1)]

After a while, a zombie that moved like a dog jumped onto the roof of the pickup truck. Lin Wu was sure that this was a creature that even a knife would taboo. All the zombies seen so far walk upright, but this zombie walks on all fours. In addition, this zombie is different from other zombies in many ways.

Its eyes have yellow light, not the cloudy eyeballs of ordinary zombies. Ordinary zombies will fall over a one-meter guardrail, but it jumps around on the car with ease. The hands of ordinary zombies are hands, and its hands have sharp claws, which faintly glisten with blood. In addition, the sound it makes is not ‘hungry’, but a muffled roar. The sound does not seem to be loud, but it can be transmitted very far.

Judging from the movement, this mutated zombie is more like a human with rabies. In addition to this mutated zombie, there are more than 20 zombies wandering around. It is very difficult to get this car.

Lin Wu said: “You are the first person to discover it, give it a name.”

Xiaodao said modestly: “That’s not necessarily true.”

Lin Wu said: “It’s called Dadao.”

Xiaodao thought about it for a while, and asked “Agile?”

Lin Wu couldn’t laugh or cry: “That’s right, very creative.”

Xiao Dao laughed too, and said, “It doesn’t apologize when it hits its kind directly while walking, and the same kind have to avoid it. It’s very arrogant and arrogant.”

Lin Wu asked: “Crazy? Crazy?”

When the two were naming the mutated zombie, Shitou and Maya touched it, which was only two hundred meters away from the base. Lin Wu stepped forward to meet them, and after receiving the two of them to the big rock, Maya also saw the mutated zombies. Maya took out the binoculars from her backpack and observed: “Frenzy Corpse.”

Xiaodao was surprised, not surprised who Maya was, surprised by the telescope, and asked, “Can you lend me a look?”

Maya handed the telescope to Xiaodao, and Xiaodao looked at it. Pass it to Lin Wu with a glance. This is not a telescope, an item name display mirror, which can see the names of zombies. Ordinary zombies are: male zombies, female zombies, fat zombies, thin zombies. The name of this mutated zombie is the fierce zombie.

Maya said: “We need to know the basic data of each mutant zombie.”

Stone objected: “It’s dangerous.”

Maya said: “Facing it with preparation is far safer than meeting it suddenly. Only by understanding it Only when we face it in the future can we face it calmly.”

Lin Wu looked at Maya: “Although I don’t like you, what you said makes sense.”

Maya asked calmly, “Why do you hate me? “

It’s just that you don’t like it, so you don’t hate it.” Lin Wu explained: “You are the same as the 5% I met. You think that the latitude of thinking is higher than 95%. When we are immersed in the joy of the basketball game, you are analyzing the two teams. Gains and losses, how to get more points.”

Maya replied: “Competition and thinking are a kind of happiness in itself.”

Lin Wu said: “Even if you kiss 5%, you can feel that she is not immersed in happiness , but thinking. Thinking about what? Thinking about whether I kissed well, thinking about how I feel, thinking about how to gracefully refuse to go further. I don’t know if you understand, this is a very hurtful emotion, and the closer you get, the more you feel. The more you get hurt.”

Maya said: “Please forgive me. We have been professionally trained since we were young, and our minds will not stop thinking except during sleep. This is a habit, and it is also the potential of 5% that must be developed. Sir, remind you Don’t forget the fact that 5% of people do not hold the power of Blue Star, but 5% of people create 80% of social value and make outstanding contributions in science, education, medical care and other industries.” Stone smoothed things over

: “Don’t argue here about a topic that has been debated for hundreds of years without a conclusion.”

Xiaodao looked at Lin Wu: “How do you know she is 5%?”

Lin Wu replied: “Her name is Maya.”

Xiaodao understood and glanced Lin Wu: “Prejudice.”

Lin Wu went crazy: “Hey, you belong to my country.”

Childish! The three of them flashed a word in their minds at the same time. Stone changed the topic: “Maya, what do you think?”

Maya looked at the fierce corpse from a distance and said: “It must be faster than other zombies. Lin Wu, I need you to take it to the safe area of the base.”

Lin Wu nodded: “No problem.”

Shitou said: “We have Two guns.”

Lin Wu reminded: “But there is only one hospital bed.”

Maya did not answer Lin Wu’s words directly, but looked back and said: “Zombies have a visual distance of 8 meters during the day, and their hearing is weaker than ordinary people. We need to open a 20 meters, to ensure that Lin Wu can complete the work smoothly.”

Xiaodao asked: “Should I hit directly? Are you not afraid of screaming?”

Maya took out the crossbow: “I am responsible for handling the screaming.”

I really hate this mother who speaks in an orderly manner, Not only is it well said, but it is also very thoughtful. This reminded Lin Wu of his ex-girlfriend. The same is true for her. She arranged everything properly. At first, Lin Wu liked his girlfriend’s personality very much. He soon grew tired of being completely passive in a relationship.

No one understood why Lin Wu wanted to break up with a good girlfriend who loved him so much. The girlfriend didn’t understand, and she couldn’t figure out what she did wrong. Lin Wu couldn’t figure it out at first, but it wasn’t until after the breakup that Lin Wu figured it out, and he got himself back.

Taking college courses as an example, his girlfriend arranged an optimal timetable for him. This arrangement made Lin Wu less stressed and more profitable. But Lin Wu just didn’t like it, and he couldn’t tell the reason. Even if he passed the exam every time, he didn’t have any sense of accomplishment. After the breakup, although Lin Wu struggled to pass a course exam, he felt great joy in his heart, because he really felt that this victory belonged to him.

…

The group of four began to clean up the zombies. After Maya controlled the screaming zombies, it was not difficult to deal with these ordinary zombies.

In the process, Maya was moved by the way of killing zombies with a knife. Xiaodao gave up the blunt weapon, grabbed the zombie’s shoulder with his bare hands and fell down, driving the zombie’s head into the floor. To complete this trick, you must first have the strength to be able to grab the zombie and turn it over, and secondly, you must have the skill to turn over and fall down at the same time, so that the head of the zombie can bear the maximum force.

When faced with an increase in the number of zombies, Xiaodao grabbed the zombies as a weapon and threw them out, throwing them all down. It’s a pity that this move has no lethality. Even Lin Wu didn’t dare to step forward to make up for the fallen zombies during this period.

The reverse side is typically a stone, swinging a baseball bat to hit, hit, hit, hit a zombie a few more times if you have the chance, and pray to kill him. Once the number of zombies increases to 3, the stone can only run while beating. It is called flying a kite, but in fact it is exhausted before its own stamina, or the zombies are knocked to death first.

The crossbow in Maya’s hand is a small artifact, not to mention the fact that there is a certain chance that the crossbow bolts can be recycled after use. Not only is it suitable for fixed-point clearing of targets, but also kite-flying tactics have miraculous effects. The disadvantages are also obvious. This kind of single-shot crossbow takes nearly two seconds to reload each time. Secondly, the crossbow bolts fly slowly, and it is difficult to lock the head when encountering fast-moving zombies.
