State of Decay - Chapter 5

[Chapter 5 Long Slope (Part 2)]

The car continued to go down the steep slope, facing the faster and faster speed, Xiaodao shouted: “Good news, I want good news.”

Shitou: “Yes, yes.”

“Yes?” Lin Wu asked in surprise : “It’s still good…” Halfway through speaking, the knife in the back seat covered his mouth.

Shitou said: “Turn on Eagle Eye mode.”

I saw Shishi controlling the steering wheel and driving past a sleeping zombie in the middle of the road. Lin Wu was even more surprised: “Fuck, are you making money?”

Shitou calmly controlled the steering wheel and asked, “Why do you think I’m making money?”

Lin Wu replied: “Because you avoided zombies.”

Shitou asked: ” Since you can see zombies, why can’t I avoid them?”

Makes sense! Lin Wu understood that after a long period of darkness, human eyes have adapted to the darkness, so they can see close objects with the help of the faint moonlight.

Xiaodao didn’t care about these: “Good news, I want good news.”

Shitou: “We are still alive.”

Lin Wu asked subconsciously: “What about the bad news?”

Shitou: “The speed of the car is about to break

100. ” Lin Wu covered his mouth, let you ask, let you ask.

The speed is getting faster and faster, and soon reaches 120 kilometers per hour. Xiaodao shouted: “Good news, I want good news.”

“Emergency lane.” The stone turned the steering wheel, and the car left the road and drove onto the emergency lane. After entering the road paved with sand, the speed of the car slowed down immediately, and soon stopped in the sand. middle.

Shitou pushed the car door and got out of the car. The adrenaline faded away and his legs trembled. He put one hand on the car and said with lingering fear: “If you have money, you should buy one. It’s too durable.” Putting Lin Wu’s mouth on the knife, he got out of the car: “Good

news .”

Shitou said: “As long as we work together to push the car back, we can continue to go downhill.”

Xiaodao said to Lin Wu: “Don’t talk, let alone ask bad news, understand?”

Lin Wu nodded again and again, Xiaodao let Lin Wu go . Without the help of Lin Wu and Daiyu, the knife and the stone worked together to lift the car. Although the stamina was exhausted after walking a few steps, after persistent rest and lifting the car, the two got the car back on the road.

During this period, Lin Wu was not idle. When he was in charge of guarding the surrounding area, he found a few zombies attracted by the sound. Lin Wu circled around and turned behind a zombie, slowly caught up with the zombie, raised the steak knife and pierced the zombie’s head, and the zombie died immediately. The system continued to guide Lin Wu’s movements. Lin Wu slowly lowered the steak knife in one hand, put the zombie on the ground, and then pulled out the steak knife. During the whole process, there was only a slight puffing sound during the assassination.

After hearing the abnormal sound, the zombie will walk to the place where the abnormal sound came from, and the walking process is not fast. If a zombie sees a human, it will immediately start howling. Acts differently depending on the type of zombie. The howling in the mouth of the zombies will attract nearby zombies. If the battle cannot be ended or evacuated quickly, the screaming zombies will arrive at the scene soon.

“What are you doing?” Seeing Lin Wu’s hands groping back and forth on the body of the dead zombie, Xiaodao asked in fear, he didn’t expect you to be such Lin Wu.

Lin Wu replied in a low voice: “Looking for something.”

Is there something? Xiaodao regained his energy, leaned over and asked expectantly: “Is there any?”

Lin Wu took out a lighter and said, “Yes.”

Seeing that there were spoils of war, Xiaodao also became interested, and stared at a zombie more than ten meters away. Your own mace. But just a few steps away, Xiaodao started to back up, and said in a low voice: “There are screams.”

Stone waved beside the car: “Let’s go.”

The four of them tiptoed into the car, and the screams were less than ten meters away from them. The darkness of the night obviously also affected the zombies who already had poor eyesight. Stone put down the handbrake, and the car began to slide. The car that was almost falling apart made a loud noise when it started, screaming and unceremoniously blew the attack horn, and more than a dozen zombies appeared out of thin air.

The closest to the vehicle was a female zombie. Although it was skinny, it moved very nimbly and grabbed the door handle of the driver’s door. Grabbing the doorknob with both hands, kicking wildly with both feet, before the stones could react, the driver’s door was pulled away completely, and the door rolled over with the zombies on the road.

Shito had lingering fears: “I have driven a convertible before, and this is the first time I have driven a convertible.” With no seat belt, no doors, no windows, no windshield, and going downhill at full speed, one steering wheel was rolled out, Maybe he will fly off the road. If you are lucky, it will be smashed on the rock wall and turned into a poster. If you are not lucky, it will fall off the cliff and become mud.

Fortunately, luck is not bad. The last four kilometers is a gentle slope. Relying on the cooperation of the hand brake and foot brake, the speed of the vehicle is always controlled at about 50 kilometers per hour. After the car stopped completely and was scrapped, the four were only four kilometers away from Beishang Town. Looking at the time, only 20 minutes have passed, and the four of them still have 160 minutes to build an infirmary.

…

On the way to Beishang Town on foot, the curious baby Lin Wu asked a lot of questions. Where is the car from? How did Xiaodao escape from the city with his sister on his back? After answering the question, Lin Wu realized that the key lies in time. There was a three-minute blank period between everyone leaving the ship and the first roar of the screams. Stone used the three-minute blank time to find the vehicle. Xiaodao and the others used these three minutes to avoid the sea of corpses, walk in the alleys, eliminate the zombies alone, and finally left the city successfully. After hearing this, Lin Wu felt that he was the most stupid, and he ran out entirely on his legs.

Lin Wuzhi’s 100,000 whys: “Shitou, why did you trust me and let me get in the car?”

Shitou patiently replied: “I have no resources to cheat or rob, and only one car. If you rob the car, you still have to buy it.” Drive to Beishang Town, if you don’t snatch my car, we’ll go to Beishang Town too.”

Shitou spoke too loudly and provoked two zombies on the side of the road. Zombie heads. After finishing the work, Stone apologized to everyone for causing the team to get into unnecessary trouble.

Moving forward for about a hundred meters, Lin Wu saw a zombie sleeping in the middle of the road more than ten meters away. He raised his hand to let everyone pause.

Shitou said to Xiaodao: “Sharp blades seem to be better than blunt weapons.”

Xiaodao disagreed: “Sharp blades don’t have the ability to repel and knock down. When facing the enemy head-on, he is very disadvantaged in holding short blades, and his hands are easily scratched and infected. “

Lin Wu looked at his interface, waited for everyone to come and start the road together, and asked: “I added a star to my agility, but why can’t I feel the bonus on my body?”

Shitou is a person who has read the book, and explained: “That’s not a bonus, but proficiency. The system will unlock certain moves after reaching a certain star level according to your behavior of increasing proficiency. For example, in reality, most people can’t complete a double kick. If you If you can unlock the two-stage kicking action, you can realize the two-stage kick in the game.”

Daiyu didn’t say much all the way, and suddenly pointed to the left and said: “There are street lights.”

Shitou looked at the street lights: “Beishang Town has arrived.”
