State of Decay - Chapter 248

[Chapter 243 In the Mountains (Part 2)]

The march on the other side of the mountain (below) was not smooth, the vanguard Peanut slipped and rolled down, hurting Xingguang. Maya originally planned to let Rizhao accompany Xingguang to the meeting point of the waterfall. Considering that they are only 400 meters away from the meeting point, Xingguang said that he can go alone and shake off Rizhao’s hand. Maya was worried and asked everyone to rest where she was. She first sent Xingguang to the meeting point. At this time, people in the team already felt some contradictions between Rizhao and Xingguang.

The meeting point is a small waterfall. On one side of the small waterfall is a wooden house covering an area of 100 square meters. It is an unmanned supply point established by Zuo County University. It is mainly for scholars and experts to study outdoors temporarily. The research objects range from caterpillars to leaves.

Lin Wu, who arrived at the meeting point after recovering from his injuries, fell in love with this place at first glance. It is clean, tidy, and surrounded by mountains and rivers: “Crooked cousin, this is an excellent base for a four-person team.” Shana raised the bar: “The key is that the hunter must work hard

. Otherwise, everyone will starve to death.”

“Haha.” Lin Wu raised his hand to say hello: “Xingguang, I heard that you were injured, so I came to see you specially, and bring out all the delicious food and drink.”

Xingguang sat by the door On the front rocking chair, pointing to the inside of the house: “I made a pot of coffee.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.” Xingguang got up and took the two of them into the house. , tea and other supplies.

Shana looked left and right: “Not bad, not bad.”

Lin Wu was puzzled: “Why did you steal my lines?”

Xing Guang picked up the coffee and said, “The light inside is not good, let’s sit outside.”

“Okay.”

The three sat down, Lin Wugang When I wanted to speak, I felt the ground shake slightly, so I stood up immediately. Xingguang explained: “There are slight vibrations continuously, I guess it’s caused by the impact of the water on the rocks.”

Lin Wu: “No, it’s a Big Mac.” How could there be a Big Mac in the barren mountains? However, there are zombies in the barren mountains, and the presence of zombies means that there is a chance to spawn a Big Mac. With the ammunition they carry, it is impossible to take down the Big Mac.

Lin Wu flew the drone, searched around, and finally found the Big Mac in the mountain above the cliff next to the house. But this Big Mac is dressed differently from ordinary Big Macs. Ordinary giants wear tattered clothes like a mandarin jacket, and the clothes of this giant are also tattered, but its clothes are camouflage uniforms, obviously it was a soldier before its death.

Continue to search Lin Wu for more clues, including what appears to be a helipad and an iron mine tunnel. Although it is not known which secret laboratory it is, it is basically certain that it is a secret laboratory. Judging from the information, this should be the source of the mutant zombies.

Lin Wu connected Maya, and Maya agreed with Lin Wu’s judgment, and told Lin Wu that the team had 10 minutes to arrive at the destination, and they could return to the base today, and asked the three to wait patiently.

Lin Wu returned to the hut from the edge of the cliff, when Xingguang and Shana were playing chess. Although I don’t understand the rules of chess, I can see that the two women play very seriously, and I can also see that Xingguang has the momentum to overwhelm Shana. Shana’s expression shows that she is on the weak side and is suffering under pressure. struggling.

Lin Wu wasn’t completely guessing, Shana did have a difficult and torn expression. Xingguang is indifferent, with a strategizing expression.

Shana looked at Xingguang, puzzled and asked: “Why did you send the queen to death?”

Xingguang said: “I can’t decide whether to send it or not. I ca

n’t keep him if he wants to go.” The chess piece: “But I don’t want it.”

Xingguang also moved a chess piece: “Whether you want it or not, it is there.”

Lin Wu admired, the rules of chess are really profound, and he can’t even understand the rules of chess players. between conversations.

The two of them played a game of chess and you came and went. Xingguang: “General.”

Shana: “He is dying.”

Xingguang: “It’s his business to send him to death, you just need to make a choice.”

The person who designed the chess is amazing! Lin Wu’s CPU was burned, and he still didn’t understand the rules of the chess game. Why did Party A let his chess pieces die? Why does Party B dare not eat the chess pieces sent?

Xingguang said: “If you stop him from the beginning, you won’t be in a dilemma.”

Shanna replied indifferently: “The chess is in your hands, how you play is your freedom, and I have no right to interfere.”

Starlight : “It’s already a general, can you ignore it?”

Shanna played chess: “It has nothing to do with me, why bother?”

Wow! You don’t even care about your king being checked. Isn’t the chess rules as simple as you think?

Xingguang asked: “How do you think I should play?”

Shana: “How to play is your business, I only play my own chess.”

You come and I go back and forth for a while, Lin Wu couldn’t help asking: “These few Is the chess piece a spy?”

“No.” Xingguang put the king down, looked at Shana and said, “You are right, this matter really has nothing to do with you.”

Shana said: “If you think so, you I shouldn’t admit defeat.”

Xingguang said: “It’s my business for me to admit defeat. If he is willing to come back to help me, I can stand up naturally. To retreat is to advance, and to advance is to retreat.” Shana: “Aren’t you worried about following the trend?

“

Xingguang: “If you don’t do it now, you have to do it sooner or later. It’s not you, it could be someone else. If I’ve already lost, I’d better admit defeat early and stop the loss in time.” Shit

! What rules? Lin Wu looked at Xiaowai, and Xiaowai also looked at Xiaowai with his front paws lying on the table for a long time. He should understand, right? Xiao Wai looked at Lin Wu inexplicably, not knowing what order the master gave. Lin Wu then calmed down, even Xiao Wai couldn’t understand it, and he should not understand it. After all, Xiaowai is the code written by Suguang, which means that Suguang also cannot understand chess. It is equivalent to explaining that his IQ is exactly the same as Suguang.

After the chess game was over, Shana went to tread water in the stream, while Xingguang took a cup of coffee and sat on the rocking chair to rest with his eyes closed. Lin Wu and Xiaowai looked at each other: Why do I feel like I don’t exist.

Lin Wu didn’t solve the puzzle, he wasn’t interested in the two girls’ puzzles, and he only cared about gossip when couples quarreled. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he focused on the work that Maya had given him, and used drones to find a suitable route to the top of the cliff.

Lin Wu never discounted the tasks assigned by Maya, unless it was assembly line work. Back then, Maya cut down the cement plant for several days in a row, and Lin Wu was about to vomit before stopping Maya. On the contrary, Lin Wu completes the tasks assigned by Maya with concentration and dedication every time. Reason: Because I have a good relationship with Maya, I can’t drag Maya back.

Lin Wu was once used as a consumable by Maya in the waste capital, and Lin Wu was worried about this matter for a period of time. The main reason for finally letting go is not identity transformation and substitution thinking, but Lin Wu found that many people are not close to Maya because of Maya’s thinking behavior, and feels that she is somewhat pitiful.

In the later communication, Maya may also realize that her behavior is inappropriate, perhaps because of the influence of the stone, she starts to put people first in her work, instead of blindly putting things first.

After occupying the sawmill base, the cooperation time between Lin Wu and Maya has been greatly improved. It can be said that Maya is now one of Lin Wu’s best friends.

After the investigation was over, Lin Wu brought Xiaowai back and saw Shana lying in the stream enjoying herself, so she didn’t bother. Seeing Xingguang dozing off again, he decided to take a walk nearby. When passing by Xingguang, Xingguang suddenly opened his eyes and asked, “Lin Wu, does Shadow still need a doctor?”

Lin Wu: “Yes.”

Xingguang sat down and asked, “How am I? Medical books shouldn’t be a problem. “

Lin Wu said: “Isn’t it? You dragged your family. To be honest, if you insist on dragging Huo Wu into the base, I can only die alone in this deep mountain. I don’t want to play the game as a romantic drama.”

Xingguang laughed and said, “There is no one else, but me?”

Lin Wu asked, “Where is Rizhao?”

Xingguang said: “I want to participate in the hardcore mode.” She didn’t answer Lin Wu’s question, but she seemed to answer Lin Wu’s question again.

Lin Wu said: “I have no problem with you. You will communicate with Shitou later. He is in charge of personnel.”

Xingguang asked: “Didn’t Shana recruit people?”

Lin Wu said: “Shitou is the chairman and manager of the HR department. Shanna is the head of personnel.”

Xingguang smiled again, and asked, “What about Maya?”

Lin Wu thought for a while: “Executive CEO.”

“What about you?”

Lin Wu replied, “I’m the top salesman.”

“Haha.” Lin Wu sat down, and said: “You may not know that Rizhao asked a private detective to touch your bottom, and he is quite satisfied with your situation.”

Lin Wu: “I don’t believe it.”

Xing Guang said: “He is dissatisfied with you because You broke up with Xiao Wu, not because you fell in love with Xiao Wu.”

Lin Wu thoughtfully: “He also thinks that Huo Wu is hot, he should get married early.”

Seeing Lin Wu’s nonsense, Xing Guang knew that he didn’t want to talk to him This topic, so I said: “It is said that your points are very high.”

Lin Wu said: “It’s not very high, it’s huge. The first kill of Blood Heart, the first kill of Big Mac, and living for so long, doing all kinds of bad things… No, we eliminated a lot of bad NPCs.”

Xingguang: “But you don’t really care.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, I do. But I really don’t really care.” Lin Wu asked, “What are your plans? Just take the shuttle back to Blue Star, or stay and be the king of the fortress?”

Xingguang said: “We didn’t intend to compete for the ring of the fortress from the beginning.”

Lin Wu: “No chance?”

Such a direct question made Xingguang startled, she Without getting angry, he answered frankly: “That’s right, we didn’t even intend to stay on the earth. But I want to fight now, don’t know if it’s too late?”

Lin Wu replied: “It’s too late, Maya has already dumped you ten blocks.”

Xingguang said: “It seems that I can only fight for the pawns of the fortress.”

Lin Wu asked: “Are you okay?”

Xingguang: “I’m fine, what can I do.”

“I went for a walk.” It doesn’t feel right to chat with anyone today taste.

Xingguang nodded: “Go.”

Lin Wu got up, and Xingguang said: “I envy you.”

“Envy me running around the mountains with a dog?”

Xingguang said: “I envy you with no attachments and freedom. The sky is free. Bird fly, live only for yourself.”

Lin Wu asked: “Did Rizhao dump you?” With the character of people like Xingguang, they only say this when they are hit and depressed. It seems to have some philosophy, but in fact Totally out of tune.

Xingguang smiled without saying a word, and waved for Lin Wu to go.

Lin Wu’s EQ is not low, but he doesn’t want to be high, and he doesn’t want to think too much. He prefers to deal with other people’s emotional problems simply and straightforwardly. There was a chaotic love relationship in the film club he joined during college, which made Lin Wuzheng dizzy. So Lin Wu jumped out of the five elements, stripped off the love and interpersonal relationships in the club, and communicated with everyone normally as a normal student. Regardless of whether others are comfortable or not, Lin Wu is very comfortable anyway and is quite popular in the club.

Why join the film society? This is the club that Lin Wu can think of that requires no effort and can also be entertaining, and the most important thing is to add credits. Only after I joined did I realize that I had fallen into a trap. People call it a movie club, not a movie club, but a drama club. Fortunately, the people in the club are very eager to perform. Lin Wu can reluctantly play a stone or a tree every time he performs. There is no need for rehearsal at all, and he can just stand in place during the performance.

Except for the time when the silly X pirate sat on the rock for ten minutes, which directly caused Lin Wu to quit the group and join the badminton club instead.

…

The third team successfully completed the task and reached the waterfall to join the two teams of three. Going down the mountain was relatively smooth. After all, he suffered from a long memory, and Lin Wu gave up the tasks with the risk of injury to Xiao Wai. The journey was relatively easy, with Lin Wu, Ma Hun and Peanut talking and laughing. Xingguang, Shana and Rizhao were relatively silent. Maya has always been nonsense, even if Xingguang wants to talk, she can always talk to death.

Xingguang: “This Tang knife is so beautiful.”

Normally, Maya would explain the origin of the knife and share her own experience. Maya was going to answer: Hmm. But she felt impolite, so she said, “I think so too.”

Xingguang: “You are very busy every day.”

Maya felt that she was impolite in the previous question, and she was worried that Xingguang might misunderstand her. But I feel that there are too many content and details to say. Suddenly, I felt that why should I wrong myself and change my character in order to deal with others?

Starlight thought Maya didn’t hear it, so she said it again, and Maya replied, “It’s all about the base’s trivial matters.” She is not used to such coping words as saying it’s okay and not very busy.

After killing the topic so many times, Xingguang finally gave up, followed Lin Wu and asked in a low voice, “How do

you chat with Maya?” : “Little lady, you have a good figure.”

Maya looked at Lin Wu for two seconds: “My brain is twitching again?”

Lin Wu said: “Do I think you have a good figure only when my brain is twitching?”

Maya said helplessly: ” Thank you for your compliment.”

“You’re welcome.” Lin Wu stepped back and asked, “Has anyone ever praised your figure?” “

No, and it’s none of your business.”

Lin Wu: “Now I have. I Uncle Lin thinks that you have a good figure, and you are no worse than others. You can hold your chest up and be a woman in an upright manner.”

Maya pulled out the Tang knife.

“Cut, nothing new.” Lin Wu turned around and walked normally. After a while, he turned around and said, “Hi.”

Maya walked two steps closer: “Why?”

Lin Wu whispered: “I always feel that there is a bear.”

Maya endured Laughing: “You have smoke bombs, what are you afraid of?”

Lin Wu asked: “Why are you not afraid of black bears?”

Maya said: “I was not shot by a black bear.”

Lin Wu: “Huh! Speaking of brown bear bulls or black bear bulls.”

Maya replied: “Brown bears.”

Lin Wu: “Evidence.”

Maya was speechless: “What kind of bear do you think is so powerful? It’s just a bear.”

Lin Wu felt that it was not difficult to chat with Maya, and he glanced at the starlight behind Maya. Xingguang shook his head, saying that he couldn’t learn it.
