State of Decay - Chapter 276

[Chapter 271 Another nightmare]

On Pier Road and Route 99, after the game enters the hard core, there are so few zombies that they are almost negligible. But when there is less, there will always be surprises. Lin Wu was considered a new driver, with only 1,000 kilometers of driving experience at Blue Star, so he concentrated on driving. Therefore, he successfully avoided the explosion sleeping in the middle of the road. After parking the car, Lin Wu got out of the car with his pistol, walked up to the bombing, shot it in the head, walked back, and drove away.

Since the mall’s revenue has been greatly reduced, the Shadow Crowd has lost motivation to work. Lin Wu arrived at the sawmill and everyone was having breakfast. They are claypot porridge and black pepper pasta respectively. Lin Wu watched the breakfast for a while and finally gave up. Judging from the surface, Mian Mian’s craftsmanship was no worse than Ma Hun’s.

Lin Wu went to the backyard conference room and sat down, flying the drone to search for traces of the businessman. Shitou sat next to Lin Wu with a pot of porridge and said, “Don’t worry so much, you can’t afford it even if you find it.”

Lin Wu said, “But Maya seems to be very anxious.”

Shitou replied: “After all, he is a young man, so he can’t afford it.” I am willing to give 100% effort for a 1% chance.”

Lin Wu: “If you fart, let it go.”

Shitou was not angry and said, “I want to ask you a personal question.”

Lin Wu: “I like Xiaowai.” The little one rolling around on the conference table and wagging its tail seems to be very useful. In fact, it is a normal reaction when your name is called.

Shitou chuckled and asked, “Have you had any male-female contact with Xingguang?”

“Xingguang?” Lin Wu asked.

Shitou said: “After coming back last night, Xingguang came to me and said that he wanted to transfer to the Doomsday Fortress. I know Xingguang better, and she usually has a certain purpose in everything she does. You know, after all, Xingguang and Rizhao are my juniors, so they call me uncle. Come on. If there is something going on between you, of course I can’t stop it, right? But I think she’s not very suitable for you.”

Lin Wu: “It has nothing to do with me.”

Shitou asked: “What’s the reason? ?”

Lin Wu: “Ask her yourself.”

Shitou said: “She said she thought Maya was very thoughtful and wanted to be closer to Maya.”

Lin Wu: “Where did Maya get her thoughts? No, I mean, besides work, Maya There is nothing to talk about with her.”

Shitou: “Yes, I also think she is lying. So I have to eliminate the biggest scam. Look at the women in the end, Maya doesn’t like to chat. Da Shuang is very obedient and is more suitable as a Listener. A stick of cotton can’t make a fart. Several women here at the sawmill will get together and chatter every day when nothing happens. So I think she should have some important reason.” Lin Wu said: “

You You’re too worried. I just want it to be convenient for bathing and washing clothes. Could it be?”

“Could it be?”

Lin Wu said: “Did Rizhao not leave the hardcore mode at all, leaving Xingguang behind to prepare to steal the Doomsday Fortress? You know, the Doomsday Fortress is It’s a personal system. After Starlight joins the Doomsday Fortress, he can pull all his people into the base.”

Shitou: “I appreciate your ideas, but let’s not discuss them first. Are you sure you and Xingguang are okay?”

Lin Wu pondered. Moment: “We can’t rule out the possibility that Xingguang hates my sister-in-law Huowu, and in order to retaliate against Rizhao, she will side with me.” “

Okay, you can go and die.” Shitou stood up with satisfaction and picked up the claypot porridge: “Let me tell Maya , build another medical room.”

Lin Wu looked at Stone: “When it comes to building another medical room, there seems to be a real problem. Starlight will not change the base without purpose. Am I really that handsome?” “Haha.” Lin Wu looked at

Xiao

Shi Wai: “Am I handsome? Nod.”

Xiao Wai nodded. Lin Wu was very satisfied and continued searching.

After Shitou left, Shana came: “How was it?”

“I didn’t find it.”

Shana said: “This is a picture I drew. I set up 5 search points. With your drone’s range, there are many overlapping parts. Search in a planned and orderly manner. Don’t waste time searching an area repeatedly. .”

Lin Wu looked at the picture: “Sister, the top view and the plan view are completely different things.”

Shana was about to explain patiently, but Lin Wu said: “It’s bad luck to find someone… It’s a nightmare. She’s hunting. It turns out she also needs to eat. . Haha… Silly X, what was she thinking about ambushing prey at the windward entrance?… Oh, she is ambushing the NPC.”

Shana had already raised her fist, but she immediately put it down when she heard the NPC, and asked: “Is it a fortress merchant? ?”

“No, they are two alliance armed NPCs wearing camouflage uniforms.”

Shana said: “It’s none of our business.”

“Don’t worry, maybe we can counterattack?”

It’s a pity that there is no counterattack, it’s a nightmare. The ambush successfully eliminated two NPCs. Nightmare walked up to the NPCs and started touching the corpses. Lin Wu said contemptuously: “I won’t even spare the dead.” “Okay, okay, let’s get down to

business.”

“Wait.” Lin Wu Said: “She got a rolled-up piece of paper, which seemed to be a map. She got in the car, got off Highway 99 from the next road, and drove towards the Zuoxian Bridge.” There were so many zombies on this road that the car drove out several times

. It exploded after a kilometer. Nightmare gets out of the car early and escapes from the car. The sound of a car explosion helped her escape smoothly. Nightmare kills a few zombies and hides quietly. About ten minutes later, Nightmare returned to the car and shot the zombies that had not dispersed one by one.

Lin Wu liked the gun in Nightmare’s hand. If he guessed correctly, it should be the Silencer with multiple hairs.

Nightmare took out a repair kit, repaired the car, and continued towards Zuoxian Bridge.

Lin Wu said: “So hard work? What kind of mission could it be?”

Shana held up her cheek and looked at the sky: “You will know if you continue to follow.”

Lin Wu: “It’s beyond the scope.”

Shana: “It’s okay, use your imagination to keep following.”

Lin Wu: “Oh, merchant? I don’t know if he is a fortress merchant.”

Shana sat down immediately: “Really?”

“I don’t know, the distance is 6 kilometers Left and right, at the west end of Qiaoshui in Zuoxian County.” Lin Wu said: “Nightmare drove to the left, used the same method to escape, abandoned the car, and moved to several broken wooden boxes containing fruits 30 meters away from the end of the bridge. From time to time, they showed up. He aimed his gun at the businessman. The businessman was sitting on the curb at the end of the bridge with a big backpack in front of him.”

The zombies turned a blind eye to the businessman, and the businessman turned a blind eye to the zombies, and the two sides got along in a friendly manner. For a moment, Lin Wu felt that this was a zombie merchant and his customers were zombies. Of course Lin Wu had to complain about this, since he was idle anyway. The little white rabbit’s explanation was that the businessman had taken a special masking drug. Lin Wu asked about the details of the special concealing drug. The little white rabbit told him not to mind his own business. Of course, the original words of Little White Rabbit were not like this, but in Lin Wu’s understanding, this was the meaning.

20 minutes later, a pickup truck came from Shuidong. The car hit the zombies all the way, leaving Lin Wu dumbfounded. Just when he was about to complain again, he finally figured out the trick. It turns out that the pickup truck hits the zombies with its doors, not its front. When a car passes a zombie and the co-pilot or driver opens the door, the door can knock the zombie away or even kill him.

The car drove near the bridgehead, and three Alliance NPCs got out of the car and started killing with silenced assault rifles. After dealing with the surrounding zombies, their leader pointed his gun at the businessman and yelled something. An NPC reached out to grab the businessman’s backpack, and the businessman reached out to fight with him.

At this time, the nightmare started to move, and he fired continuously with his gun, hitting an NPC in the head. The other two NPCs were very alert and found bunkers on the left and right. The two sides started shooting at each other 30 meters apart. A grenade was thrown near Nightmare, and the explosion attracted surrounding zombies to attack Nightmare. Nightmare swam to the side of the bunker, around the back of the house, and headed toward the bridge.

After advancing about 10 meters, Nightmare hid behind a scrapped pickup truck. Two NPCs kept changing positions and shooting in the direction of the truck to suppress Nightmare’s actions.

Nightmare reached out and put a monitor on the front of the car, pointing the lens in the direction of the NPC. She walked around from the front to the back of the car, squatted at the tire and looked at the screen on the ground. She seized the opportunity to show up and beat an NPC to death. With the help of the monitor, she quickly took down another NPC.

Nightmare walked through the open space to reach the bridge, looking around cautiously while touching the corpse. After she got the rifle, she removed some accessories and bullets from the rifle and threw the gun body into the Zuoxian River.

After finishing the business, Nightmare squatted beside the merchant, not knowing what they said or what they traded. The nightmare left about a minute later. When he left, the nightmare was wearing half a pair of glasses, and he didn’t know what they were. This thing has nothing to do with glasses. It is more like a headset that can be hung on the top of the head or on both ears. The core part is a piece of transparent glass hanging down from the left eye of Nightmare. Nightmare’s finger can be pushed up to put away the glass piece, and pulled down to put the glass piece down.

It looked very cool, and Lin Wu was quite envious.

I learned from Maya that this is a squad tactical system. The so-called glass piece is a display. The display is connected to special equipment such as radar, thermal sensors, monitors, etc. Nightmare can see images and information sent by the device through the monitor to understand the situation between itself and the enemy.

Maya and Shana connected and basically determined that the NPC merchant at the bridge was the wandering merchant they were looking for. Maya originally planned to contact Nightmare and seek help from Nightmare, but Nightmare did not return to the temporary base and she was unable to contact Nightmare.

Nightmare can use repair kits to blow up cars all the way and burn bullets to force a breakthrough to the merchant. Of course, Shadow also has enough resources to send players to the bridge in a similar way. But Nightmare knows how much profit he has, and Shadow needs to gamble on a profit with a low probability. Therefore, it is impossible for them to adopt nightmare methods.

…

Lin Wu drove Maya to the sawmill. The two deputy commanders took the system map and the self-drawn map for a meeting at the conference table. They need to find a safe route that doesn’t require too many resources and can reach the bridge. Shadow’s advantage lies in time. Judging from the details of Lin Wu’s complaint and drone observation, the fortress merchant will not leave the bridge in a short period of time, and will most likely stay at the bridge within 12 hours.

“The only way to get here is by taking the sewer. Walk two kilometers to reach the bridge. Walking two kilometers in the city is too difficult and dangerous.” Shana: “We can

get here by taking the sewer and follow the Zuoxian River. Then go down and go ashore near the bridge.”

Maya: “How to come back?”

Shana said: “Driving an armored vehicle there? The straight line is 6 kilometers, the distance is 8 kilometers, and the round trip is 16 kilometers. The fuel consumption is about 10 liters.”

Maya: “This is not a problem of oil, it is that there is no safe area nearby to park. Once you park, there will be zombies around. They will swarm up, and if there is a zombie mixed in, everyone will be suffocated in the armored vehicle.”

Shana said: “Drive to the door of the fruit wholesale market, everyone gets out of the car and clears out the zombies.”

Maya: “Need A lot of bullets. It’s not as good as the nightmare tactic of using ordinary car explosions to attract most of the zombies.”

Shana said: “So our main difficulty is the issue between cost and profit.”

Maya said: “That’s right. From a normal perspective, one Two hundred points of honor cannot be exchanged for anything good. But we have never traded with a fortress merchant. We don’t know the price of the items he sells. We cannot rule out the possibility that some goods are cheap. More importantly, many items are only sold by fortress merchants. , we need to know the information about the goods he sells so that we can trade next time. Otherwise, when the fortress merchant shows up next time, we will still know nothing about the details of the transaction.” The orthodox leader Stone was like an invisible man, sitting aside and listening to the

two The deputy commanders studied countermeasures. Seeing that the two deputy commanders were in a dilemma, they said generously: “It should be wasted, so waste it.”

Maya said: “Judging from the intensity of Lin Wu’s drone reconnaissance, it will probably take more than a hundred rounds of bullets to open it.” A safe area. And you must use a gun. Cold weapons cannot stop the onslaught of zombies.”

Shitou was heartbroken and asked: “What about driving an ordinary car?”

Maya said: “We only have three repair kits left. Although Repair kits can also be made in the production room, but now the basic resources are getting less and less, and the cost of making repair kits is getting higher and higher.”

Shitou: “What about the shelling?”

Maya said: “The shelling point is too far from the armored vehicle, and the effect of attracting the enemy is not good. Good, it may cause road blockage. The shelling point is too close to the armored vehicle, and the armored vehicle may be blown away.”

Shitou: “Lin Wu, come here.”

Shitou explained and asked: “Do you have any new insights?”

Lin Wu listened and said: “What can I do? You can’t just throw people over, right?”

Shana’s eyes lit up: “Yes, armored vehicles Don’t stop. When the vehicle passes by the fruit wholesale market, people jump out of the vehicle. The armored vehicle turns in a circle, and the people on the vehicle throw a mine, using the explosion sound to attract zombies. Reduce the threat to the people who jump out of the vehicle. The armored vehicle drives here and uses linear acceleration to get there quickly At the bridge, buy time for everyone to get back to the car.”

Maya said: “The armored car is fast, and jumping out of the car is dangerous. The armored car is slow, and those who jump out of the car will be entangled by the chasing zombies. But I can give it a try. My life skills are the best. Poor, the price of death is the lowest.”

Lin Wu reminded: “Your swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world.”

Shitou said: “It’s a pity that Xuedan has just learned the basics, can he wait until Peanut is resurrected?”

Shana calculated the time: “Peanut was 8 last night He died at 20:00, and the merchant appeared at 8:00 in the morning. Theoretically, there is 20 minutes. However, after Peanut is resurrected, it will take time to return to the base, and it will also take time to drive there.” Maya said: “Either let one person take the risk

, Or put down at least four gunmen.”

Shana said: “If you choose the former, your agility must be high enough, and the risk of jumping from the car will be lower.” The

three commanders looked at Lin Wu together, and Lin Wu didn’t care: “No problem.”

” No.” Shana rejected the proposal: “If he dies, Xiaowai will be gone.”

Maya and Shitou both thought it made sense, but Lin Wu was dissatisfied: “I have many advantages.”

“I know.” Maya responded to Lin Wu said, and continued: “The last method: masking medicine, that is, corpse smell masking agent. Park the car and let people go, and all people who get off the car take masking medicine. Keep the armored vehicle mobile and return to the bridge at any time to pick up people.” Shana said

: “There is no inventory.”

Maya said: “Brush and make now.”
