State of Decay - Chapter 57

[Chapter 57 The Fortress Ring]

After everyone came back, they continued to search. In the container, Lin Wu found something good in two boxes. The two boxes were placed in the cabinet in the middle of the headquarters, and there were a lot of pipe bombs inside. After careful counting, there were as many as 10 in each box.

Maya looked at the bomb and said, “It seems that we can start to deal with the blood plague in Building 2.” After the container door is closed, talking in a low voice will not wake up the zombies.

Lin Wu looked around the container headquarters and searched everywhere he could: “Why isn’t there even a gun?”

Shana said, “There is a gun.”

“Where is it?”

“Not here.” Shana said: ” On the zombies.”

After the materials were basically emptied, Maya asked everyone to light the torches in the container, and Lin Wu was in charge of waking up the sleeping zombies, and the zombies in seven containers rushed out and lined up in the narrow passage. The knife had sharp eyes and said, “There’s one over here.”

Lin Wu followed the knife’s finger to carefully observe the female soldier zombie, but he didn’t see the so-called gun. After waiting for a while, the target zombie raised his hands and grabbed everyone who was watching it from the top of the container, because this action ripped the clothes, revealing the holster on the waist belt.

Maya said: “Xuedan, horse soul, separate it. Lin Wu, deal with it.”

Xuedan jumped down, the space was limited and he couldn’t sweep across, so he could only block the zombies with a hammer. The operation of the horse soul light blunt weapon is relatively simple, just lift it up and knock it down. When the target zombie attacked Xuedan, Lin Wu jumped behind it, and the execution eliminated the zombie. Lin Wu touched the zombie’s holster, and a revolver appeared. Lin Wu took the pistol and said, “Go.” The three jumped up and grabbed the edge of the container and climbed onto the container.

She-Devil revolver, chambered for .357 Magnum bullets. The advantage is that it is powerful and never gets stuck and broken. The disadvantage is that the recoil is slightly larger, the sound is slightly louder, and the magazine capacity is only 6 rounds. In the case of no skill blessing, it takes 5 seconds to reload the ammunition, and the reloading speed is only higher than that of the shotgun.

Overall, this is an average pistol.

Maya said: “Lin Wu pulls the zombies, and the others gather outside the iron gate.”

After Lin Wu came out of the small iron gate, Maya began to arrange work: “Shana and I stay here, and the others will transport the supplies back to the base first.” Lin Wu stayed at the base to heal his wounds and deal with the infection, and you guys come back to pick us up in your car.” There is still a pile of supplies on the road next to the small iron gate, mainly monitors, computer hosts and other electrical appliances from which a large number of electronic components can be removed.

…

Watching the car leave, Maya motioned for Shana to sit at the road guardrail. She sat next to Shana and asked, “Shana, partner with Lin Wu for a day, do you have any ideas?” Shana looked at Maya and

said : “I have no thoughts about him, nor about others, but I have some thoughts about you.”

“What do you mean?” Maya asked.

“The base construction is good. If you guess correctly, you occupied the substation.”

Maya asked again: “Why?”

Shanna said: “Your points should be very high. What I don’t understand is why the stone is the leader, while the You are not the leader?”

Maya understood, and said, “You are competing for the ring of the fortress.”

“Don’t you want to get the ring of the fortress?” Shanna asked back.

In the first phase of the Homeland Project, Fortress signed a business contract with Blue Star officials, dispatched transport ships and robots, and established a large city on Earth. Both the interstellar transport ship and the robot are the property of the Fortress Corporation, and only those who hold the Fortress Ring can control the Earth Fortress system. It can be said that those who hold the ring of the fortress will have the main right to speak on the earth. Even if there is dawn to restrict the actions of the Fortress Corporation, it will be difficult to prevent the Earth Fortress Corporation from becoming a giant enterprise in the solar system.

In short, the holder of the Ring of Bastion will become the most powerful person on earth.

Blue Star Fortress Company handed over the task of selecting the owner of the Fortress Ring to Suguang. There are only two rules. First rule: Candidates are the elite 5%. The second rule, the candidate who gets the most points in the Homeworld game will be the master of the Fortress Ring.

The rules for Fortress Ring were published on the Elite Club website the day before immigration. However, members of the elite club are not limited to 5%, after all, there are many successful people in the 95%. For most of the 95% of the people, they don’t care about this matter, because it is an internal matter of the Fortress Corporation. After all, whether it is a robot or a fleet, it is the property of the Fortress Corporation. Who are they willing to hand over the property to? , that is their power. As long as the dawn is still there, even the fortress company with invincible wealth cannot do evil.

Blue Star’s social system is similar to the driver’s license system. Rich people can drive luxury cars with driver’s licenses, while poor people can only drive cheap cars with driver’s licenses. This is an unavoidable gap between the rich and the poor in society, and luxury cars and automobiles are protected by Suguang. But whether it is rich or poor, their driver’s license is only 12 points, and these 12 points will not change because of your money and status. If you have money, you can spend a lot of money, but you can’t do evil. This is also one of the basic principles of Sugon system operation: relative fairness.

Maya stretched out her hand: “Competition is welcome.”

After Shanna hesitated a little, she still shook hands with Maya: “You must have higher points than me now, aren’t you worried that I will kill you?” Maya replied: “Don’t worry,

because no one knows The calculation method of Dawn Points. It’s been two years, and it’s just started now. Besides, I don’t think you are a despicable person.” Shana asked back:

“What kind of person am I?”

Maya replied: “A proud person.”

Shana was noncommittal With a ‘cut’ sound, she said, “I tell you, if it wasn’t for that little idiot who killed me, my points would not be lower than yours.” Maya asked, “Who?”

Shana

said sadly, “Except Lin Who else is there in the fog?”

When I first met him that night, I could see the murderous intent in his eyes. I am very obedient. When he pointed the shotgun at me, I stopped the car immediately. Immediately after getting off the car, I showed that I had the skills of a doctor, and humiliatedly expressed my affection for him through physical contact, but this silly X did not hesitate to move his hand.

Lin Wu: Just say it’s fast or not?

Maya thought about it, and suddenly realized: “The girl who stole the car? You are the owner of the Sand Eagle?” “…

” Shana stroked her forehead with one hand, and the past was unbearable.

Maya asked vigilantly: “Do you want revenge?”

Shana said “cut” again: “Revenge? I don’t care about killing people for revenge, but I will not kill my companions.”

Maya nodded: “You can’t beat him.”

Killing Punishment. Shana changed the subject: “If you guessed correctly, the checkpoint is a good place for beginners. If you have time, you can organize everyone to brush pistols here.”

Maya said: “No, one person is enough.”

“Oh? Who?”

“Knife.”
