State of Decay - Chapter 4

[Chapter 4 Long Slope (Part 1)]

“My name is Shitou.” In order to prevent the girl from making a fuss, Shitou thought it would be better for him to say it clearly.

“My name is Lin Wu.” The co-pilot Lin Wu turned his head and nodded politely to the two people in the back seat.

The short-haired girl put her fingers between her eyebrows and said, “Xiaodao. Hey, what’s your name?” The

long-haired girl covered the sky cap with her hands and replied reluctantly, “Daiyu.”

Lin Wu had a lot of questions today, asking: “Is she not you?” Friend? Why don’t you know her name?”

Xiao Dao replied, “You and Shi Shi are also my friends now. If you don’t tell me, I won’t know your name either.”

Lin Wu accepted this answer and asked, “Your The label personality should be the protector personality.”

Xiaodao asked in surprise: “How do you know? When did you peek at my label?”

Protector personality: Strong sense of territory, brave to face everything, full of protective desire, easy to trust others.

Before Lin Wu answered, Daiyu said, “The infection rate has risen to 5%.” Her tone was flat, and she seemed to have expectations, looking forward to everyone’s concern.

Stone studied the game manual and said while driving: “After being infected by the zombie virus, you must go to the infirmary for recuperation. During the recuperation period, you can not only curb the increase in infection rate, but also reduce the infection rate until you finally recover. If the infection rate is less than 50%, Increase the infection rate by 1% every three minutes. If the infection rate is greater than 50%, the infection rate will increase by 1% every minute.”

Xiaodao said optimistically: “Three hours, then there is no problem.”

Shitou said: “Little sister, it is not impossible problem, but a big problem. The biggest problem is in the infirmary.”

Knife obviously has no intelligence attributes, and asked: “Infirmary?”

Shitou pulled the handbrake to slow down, and said: “Hospitals and clinics are not safe. It is impossible for equipment to protect Daiyu from attack for a long time. Therefore, there is only one way, to build a survivor base and build an infirmary.”

Lin Wu, a curious baby, asked: “Shitou, why do you know so much?” “

The game manual.” Shitou explained: “I choose the intelligence attribute, and the main intelligence attribute can increase the reading speed. It took me a minute to read the game manual.”

Lin Wu asked in surprise: “The main attribute is intelligence?” The mind is different from the body. Adding agility can improve physical flexibility, but adding intelligence will not improve IQ.

Stone asked back: “Don’t you think that in the last days, the mind is more important than the body?”

Xiaodao disagreed: “I think strength and will are the most important. A strong body and a strong spirit are the only magic weapons for survival in the last days.”

The two looked at Lin Wu together, hoping that Lin Wu would support their views. Lin Wu said weakly: “If you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood. Thirty-six strategies are the best plan.” Xiaodao asked: “Suppose

you Your friend is defeated by zombies, will you run away alone?”

Lin Wu said: “If you are defeated Xiaodao, you know that I have no power attribute and cannot carry you away from the corpses, what will you do?”

Xiaodao immediately replied: “I I will let you run for your life.”

Lin Wu nodded: “I will listen to you.”

What’s wrong? The knife scratched at the short hair, not thinking about it for a while. Daiyu said: “6%.” The tone was a little anxious, and it also meant to remind everyone to pay attention to their own virus infection.

Shi Shi glanced at Daiyu from the inside rearview mirror, and said, “We still have three hours. We can reach Beishan Town in 20 minutes, and build the gathering place and infirmary as soon as possible. It is not clear what conditions are needed to build the gathering place. What materials are needed in the infirmary. What basic kit did you bring?”

Lin Wu said: “Medical kit.”

Daiyu replied: “Food kit.”

Xiaodao replied: “Ammo kit.”

“Ammo kit?” Lin Wu and Shi Shi Asked back at the same time, very curious about Xiaodao’s thinking.

The knife pointed forward: “Be careful.”

There are cliffs on the left and right sides of the road ahead, and there are many vehicles parked on the road, including trucks, vans, cars, and motorcycles. Judging from the scene, there should be a traffic accident. The traffic accident caused damage and burning of many cars, and people had to abandon their vehicles and leave on foot.

The old driver Shitou Kou wanted to protect himself, turned the steering wheel to the left, and the left front wheel of the car drove up the cliff, and drove continuously for 15 meters at an angle of 30 degrees, and successfully drove the car out of the congested area.

Everyone applauded together, Shitou looked calm, and waited for the applause to stop, saying: “Brothers and sisters, there are some good news and some bad news. The first bad news is that the fuel tank is damaged, and we can’t drive to Beishang Town.” The driver can see The specific damage and parameters of the car.

Xiaodao asked: “What’s the good news?”

Shitou replied: “After two kilometers, there will be an 8-kilometer continuous downhill.” The roadside sign reminds that after two kilometers, there will be a long downhill section.

Lin Wu asked, “What about the bad news?”

Stone replied, “We don’t have a brake pedal, which means we can’t brake, and the lack of gasoline means we can’t rely on the engine to brake.”

Lin Wu opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but the knife covered Lin from behind . Fog’s Mouth: “What about the good news?” As long as we only ask for good news, there will always be good news and no bad news.

Shitou said: “If we can survive the 8 kilometers of continuous downhill, we will reach Beishang Town in another 4 kilometers.”

Xiaodao covered Lin Wu’s mouth tightly with his strength, and asked, “What’s the good news?”

Shitou said : “I thought of a way to brake, but it doesn’t necessarily work.”

“What way?”

Shitou said, “Foot brake.”

…

The vehicle finally reached the top of the slope before running out of gas, and the four players bravely opened the doors and put a With only one foot on the ground, both hands firmly grasped the armrest in the car.

Stone asked: “Are you ready?”

“Yeah.”

Shitou let go of the handbrake, and the car began to slide slowly. Shitou held the steering wheel tightly with both hands and said nervously: “Bad news, we will lose the lights in a while.

“

Shitou: “You keep asking for good news, I have no chance to give bad news.”

Xiaodao shouted: “Stop the brakes.”

The speed of the car was getting faster and faster, and the four people rubbed their feet on the ground, screams and exclamations resounded through the air. valley. The stone had pulled the handbrake to death. He held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his eyes were fixed on the front, and he rubbed one foot on the ground. Mi, victory is just around the corner.”

Lin Wu yelled and asked, “How long can the car lights last?”

With Lin Wu’s question, the car headlights went out instantly, and Lin Wu wanted to strangle Lin Wu to death with a knife. The car left the road very quickly, bumped into the dirt on the side of the road and then rolled over, with the roof down and the four wheels on top, sparks and lightning along the way. A miracle also appeared, and the speed of the car slowed down.

When the speed of the car was about to drop below 40 kilometers, Lin Wu, who was thrown into a mess, asked: “The bad news is that we are going to stop soon?” Xiaodao said urgently: “

Shut up, and only tell the good news.”

Everyone shouted wow, the body hit the roadside guardrail, the car rolled over again, the four wheels hit the ground again, the front and rear of the car changed direction and stopped on the spot. The four were still in shock, the old driver Shitou released the handbrake, and the car started to slide again. With the help of the curve and speed, Shitou corrected the front of the car to the front with a flick of the tail.
