Chapter 178 The Second Expedition
As winter enters the countdown, Dawn launches the end-of-season event: The Second Expedition to the Abandoned City.
At the end of the first expedition, scientists, politicians, and fungi held a meeting at the island headquarters, and the scientists came up with the idea of excavating a green device. The huge number of zombies in the ruined city is the first problem they have to face. Since there is not much time left for humans, a general proposed to directly use nuclear bombs to attack the abandoned city to clear out the zombies.
Although the waste will be contaminated in this way, humans can no longer take care of many of them and should clear up green devices as soon as possible to develop long-term and reliable vaccines.
A few days later, the fleet launched several tactical nuclear bombs, reducing the number of zombies in the waste city by 80%. The Marine Corps landed first and built two supply points using remaining buildings in two locations in the city. Various large-scale excavation machinery and personnel were dropped into the supply points. Scientists built laboratories at supply points.
All you need is the east wind. Humanity is about to start excavation work on Green Devices No. 1 and No. 2. Brave players will enter the abandoned city to protect the supply points, protect the scientists, and protect the excavation work.
This expedition lasts seven days and is divided into ten dungeons by city. That is, all players in the future city are in the same dungeon and can form teams freely. Death penalty: deduct a certain amount of points, clear attributes, clear equipment, and retain skills. During the event, the base will not be sieged, and the system will fully protect the base.
After the system broadcast, the Shadow Base immediately held an expanded meeting. Everyone's first question was: "One copy for 100,000 people?" Abandoned Capital is considered a medium-sized city, with an estimated permanent population of only two million at the beginning of the zombie virus outbreak. People around. Currently, 80% of the zombies in the abandoned city have been cleared by nuclear bombs. Why do we need 100,000 people? Divided equally into two excavation sites, there are also 50,000 people in each excavation site, and each person fires 50,000 rounds of ammunition.
Maya analyzed: "Due to the pollution caused by the nuclear explosion, terrible creatures appeared in the abandoned city, maybe mutated zombies. Or various monsters." "
Resident Evil?" Resident Evil is a famous series of movies and also a zombie game. One of the originators. Before immigrating, many people watched the film and played the game.
Shana said: "Although the number of players in the first expedition copy was small, the players' equipment and strength crushed the zombies. This time, the number of players may exceed the zombies. Will the zombies have the ability to crush the players?" Lin
Wu agreed: "It feels like the players are not the protagonists in this expedition." The Spartan 300 warriors are the protagonists, and they kill enemies. The 30 billion Spartan warriors can only be supporting characters because they are the ones being brushed off.
Xiao Dao said: "Wouldn't it be better if we didn't act with the team?"
Maya agreed with Xiao Dao very much: "That's right, we can't act with the group before confirming the situation." There must be traps or restrictions at some step, otherwise With such a quantitative ratio, the second expedition has no meaning, not even for game entertainment.
Peanut said: "There is no mention of firearms and bullets in this expedition." The first expedition system reminded players not to bring too many supplies into the dungeon because there will be sufficient supplies after entering the dungeon.
Shana: "The death penalty for this expedition is more serious than the first expedition."
Maya said: "There is too much unknown information now. We will make a decision based on the actual situation after entering the dungeon at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Shana asked: "How to form a team?" The supermarket base and the shadow base are too far apart to form a team. And you can only enter the dungeon from your own base, which means that the two groups of people may be divided into different regions.
Maya said: "I'll go to the main base and we'll plan out the possible situations we'll encounter. Then we'll take our seats."
Shana replied: "Okay."
Maya said: "Lin Wu, send me through the checkpoint."
Zombies at the checkpoint in winter are still there every day As soon as they clock in to work and leave the checkpoint, the snow will make their movement more difficult. Arriving near the checkpoint, Lin Wu pointed his finger: "Xiao Wai, keep shouting."
Xiao Wai kept shouting in the direction of the finger, and the zombies followed the sound.
Xiao Wai has grown up into an adult dog, but he is also old. It is not ugly, but it is really not as good as it was when it was a baby. Xiao Dao looked at the adult Xiao Wai and shed tears: Why are you disabled? Many animals are the same. The little duck is so cute, but not many people will say that the duck is cute, only that it is delicious.
As an adult, Xiao Wai's various abilities have greatly improved, and he can even run for his life faster than his master. From time to time, he would look back and wait for Lin Wu: Master, hurry up, zombies are biting your butt.
Lin Wu: It’s very far away, okay?
The above is the process of Lin Wu replying to Xiao Wai in his heart by interpreting Xiao Wai's eyes.
Maya, who was waiting aside, threw a piece of barbecue. Xiaowai jumped up to catch it. Maya passed the checkpoint around the zombies. Looking at Maya's back, Lin Wu was indignant: "Even the dog has a thank you gift, why don't I? Xiao Wai, bring it to me."
Xiao Wai obediently put the barbecue in his mouth in front of Lin Wu, Lin Wu said with disgust: "It's all hazelnuts, you can eat it yourself."
On the way back, seeing the flat snow in the wilderness on the roadside, Lin Wu suddenly thought: "Xiao Wai, let's compete in the long jump." One person and one dog rushed out of the road and fell into the snow in the wilderness. In the ground. Lin Wu called Xiao Wai over, criticized his four-legged long jump, and decided to punish him.
He tied Xiao Wai with a rope, and Xiao Wai pulled Lin Wu and ran in the wilderness. One person and one dog played in the wilderness all morning. Maya came back from a meeting in the shadows and found a stone to sit on the roadside, watching a man and a dog compete in somersaults. The originally beautiful, clean and tidy snowfield has been turned into black soil by them.
Seeing Maya accidentally, Lin Wu smiled, put the rope on Xiao Wai, and Xiao Wai pulled Lin Wu to Maya. Maya touched Xiaowai's face and sighed: "You are a real dog, he is a real dog."
Lin Wu pretended not to hear and asked: "Is the meeting between you two over?"
Maya asked: "Do you care about the content of the meeting? ?"
Lin Wu shook his head.
"Let's go." Maya and Lin Wu put on goggles and slid on their snowboards. Maya talked through the headset: "I've made some people unhappy again."
Lin Wu asked: "Aren't you suggesting that so-and-so not Are you participating?"
Maya: "That's probably what it means. One hundred thousand people have one copy, and either players die easily or the rewards are very poor. I suggest not to bring an assault rifle, after all, the equipment will be cleared after death. Currently, there are only 9 in the two bases. Assault rifle."
Lin Wu said: "Your plan to capture the sawmill is all based on the assault rifle."
Maya nodded: "Yes."
Lin Wu said: "I only bring the Silent Ones."
Maya said : "I'm not talking about you."
Lin Wu asked: "I won't die?"
Maya said: "No, of course you won't die. I think you are the toughest among the shadows."
Lin Wu said: "Thank you for the compliment."
Maya replied: "It's smelly and hard."
"Xiao Wai, hit her."
Xiao Wai, who was running slowly, resolutely followed his master's order. Maya suddenly slowed down and dodged Xiao Wai's impact. Seeing this, Lin Wu snapped his fingers: "Idiot Xiaowai, come back."
Xiaowai ran to Lin Wu's side and waited for his master's next order without shame. Maya slid past them: "The last one to arrive is the fool."
Lin Wu knew that his skiing skills were not as good as Maya's, so how could he be fooled, so he immediately ordered: "Xiao Wai, don't arrive before me."
The two people and the dog were chasing each other on the white ground, completely forgetting that this was a world of zombies, immersed in the fun of young people.
...
What materials should I prepare to enter the dungeon?
Maya believed that this dungeon did not remind players not to carry too many supplies. Considering that there was only one dungeon for 100,000 people, Maya asked Lin Wu to bring what he should bring on a daily basis. And asked: "Are you sure you want to bring the Silent One into the dungeon? I think the mortality rate in this dungeon will be very high." Maya knew that Lin Wu still preferred the Silent One over various assault rifles. The most important thing is that .22 bullets are cheap. Lin Wu doesn't have any psychological burden when using Silencer outside the base.
Yesterday, Maya went to the main base to have a meeting with Shana and brought back all the .22 bullets, a total of 180 rounds. Adding the 220 rounds left at the supermarket base, 400 rounds of ammunition were enough for Lin Wu to play with. Of course, Maya also brought back a batch of crossbow arrows.
Lin Wu said: "Don't you also bring a repeating crossbow?"
Maya shook her head: "It's different. I don't bring an assault rifle because the day shift requires an assault rifle, and I have to keep the assault rifle. I need to do this, but you don't. ."
Lin Wu said: "I need it too, my morals are very noble, and I think about how to contribute to the collective every day." "
Haha, that's funny." Maya thought about it for a while: "The game has been updated, there is no reason why the copy cannot be updated. Medicines in the copy only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. So you can bring some painkillers and a few bandages." "
Understood." Lin Wu looked at the time: "There are still 10 minutes." You can drink a cup of hot tea.
"Well, stop screaming so as not to waste the 7 days of refresh time."
Lin Wu's face was distorted at that time. Unfortunately, Maya walked out of the base without looking at Lin Wu's face, leaving Lin Wu twisted in vain. After a while, screams were heard, and Lin Wu helplessly climbed the ladder to the sentry post with his gun in hand.
...
The starting point for today's copy is not on the ship, but at the dock. From 8:00 to 8:10 is the time to enter the dungeon. Along with the bright lights, the number of players on the dock begins to increase and it becomes a bit crowded. In order to avoid being dispersed by the crowd, Maya held Lin Wu's hand. No need to think too much, just wear gloves. In order to avoid everyone's attention, the two of them put down their hoods and pulled up their masks. Xiao Wai was stuffed in his sweatshirt and stretched out his nose from Lin Wu's chest to breathe.
It was close to 8:10, Lin Wu looked at the crowds of people and asked, "Are there tens of thousands of people here?" The place was noisy, but fortunately the headset could still be used.
Maya stepped on her feet and glanced around, saying: "Two thousand to twenty-five hundred people."
"Is it impossible?"
Maya said: "It is understandable that a huge number of mistakes occur when people gather. Let me ask you a question, how many did you see? Do zombies feel pressure?"
Lin Wu: "Six or seven, probably."
"Yes, six or seven people are already a stressful number. When you are in a crowd of a hundred people, your subjective judgment will not be One hundred people, but three hundred or more." Maya said: "Watch the movie again, the confrontation between the two armies is majestic, like thousands of troops fighting. If you freeze the frame and count the number of people on it, there will be no more than three. Hundreds of people."
Lin Wu: "I see, the time has come."
An NPC officer appeared on the high platform on the seaside. He took a loudspeaker and said: "Warriors, welcome to your arrival. Due to the nuclear explosion, electronic equipment has been severely damaged. Big impact. In order to allow everyone to reach the supply point and excavation point smoothly, necessary materials are prepared for everyone at the exit of the dock." "We know that
this excavation work will face extremely difficult challenges. Based on the information we have learned so far, In order to improve everyone's chance of survival, hereby give the following tips."
Tip 1: Protective clothing is your life insurance. If the protective clothing is damaged, please replace it immediately.
Tip 2: Don’t light a fire at night and don’t make loud noises.
Tip 3: It is recommended not to touch the body, especially if you don’t know the cause of death.
Tip 4: NPCs are trustworthy, but players may not be trustworthy.
After the officer finished explaining the rules, he continued: "According to our intelligence, there are some large mutant creatures in the abandoned capital. We cannot rule out animal mutations caused by nuclear explosions. Currently, we only have one mutant creature: the mutant spider." Behind the
officer A projection appeared, and a patterned spider appeared. The officer looked back at the projection and said: "It looks no different from an ordinary spider, but its body is larger than an adult. As for whether it is due to radiation mutation or virus mutation, or maybe Both of them have nothing to do with you. You can go directly to the excavation point to protect the scientists and excavation machines, or you can go to the supply point to replenish supplies and rest." The officer said: "Pay attention to safety and wish everyone good luck." After that, from
the
side A wall disappeared, and a passage appeared. At the entrance of the passage were two NPCs wearing protective suits, with a large number of boxes piled up behind them. Each player passes by and they give a box. Lin Wu was taller, and while following the flow of people toward the exit, he explained: "Biochemical protective clothing, one or more rations, and something similar to a walkie-talkie?" "
Gamma radiation detector."
Soon the two of them got it. Supplies, two rations per person. The detector comes with instructions. If the pointer is in the green position, it means the radiation value is safe and you don’t need to wear protective clothing. When the pointer reaches the yellow area, you need to wear protective clothing, otherwise you will lose blood. When the pointer reaches the orange area, the warning light will flash. If you are not wearing protective clothing, you will lose blood and reduce the maximum life limit. Even if you are wearing protective clothing, it is recommended to pass through or leave this area quickly. When the pointer reaches the red position, you will lose blood even if you are wearing protective clothing.
In addition, there is an anti-radiation drug in the supply package, which is immune to radiation within one hour and can restore the maximum life loss caused by radiation. It can only be taken once in 12 hours. Lin Wu asked Xiaowai what to do? The staff replied that Xiaowai would not be harmed by radiation. Lin Wu objected to this and hoped to get another supply for Xiao Wai. The staff told Lin Wu to get out of here.
Following the large army out of the protected area, it was like walking through a layer of soap bubbles, and the ruined capital suddenly appeared before our eyes. The main colors are still yellow, gray and black, but the difference is that the buildings are dilapidated, some have collapsed, and some have only half of them left. The ground is no longer just yellow sand and dust, all kinds of construction debris can be seen everywhere, and it is easy to trip and fall if you are not careful on the walkways.
The radiation detector pointer stopped at the edge of green and yellow, and some people put on protective clothing. Everyone stopped and looked around, most of them looking at paper maps. About five minutes later, someone finally started heading north first, and players immediately followed them. Ten minutes later, only Maya and Lin Wu were left at the scene.
