Chapter 193 Hardcore Mode
Lin Wu raised his hand to let everyone listen to what he said, and pointed towards the back door: "Across the river is the substation." The drone discovered it.
After hearing this, Maya and Shanna went to the watch tower to get a telescope to check. The good news is that the substation is not far from the base. It is estimated that after occupying the substation and becoming an outpost, there will be only about 15 meters of non-safety zone between the base and the substation, which will help Shadow players expand their activity area. The bad news is that the substation in the industrial area covers an area of more than one thousand square meters and there are many zombies.
Shana suggested: "Build two sentry towers first, and use the sentry tower's ability to increase the range to eliminate as many zombies in the substation as possible."
Maya said: "We don't have enough building materials to build two sentry towers."
Shana said: "Put it away. The farm is demolished."
Maya agreed, but the power problem must be solved as soon as possible after the farm is demolished, otherwise the food stock will not last for a few days.
Not long ago, a large amount of building materials were lost in the battle to defend the 6-star supermarket base, which also disrupted the sawmill construction plan. Judging from the current situation, because the density of zombies nearby is too high, base members cannot go out to search. Not even Lin Wu can do it.
The safe plan is to build twin sentry towers. The first step is to eliminate the zombies in the substation as much as possible, occupy the substation, start sawing wood, use the wood to build infrastructure, continue to clean up the surrounding zombies, and expand the scope of player activities.
The second step is to occupy the weather station and form an alliance, becoming a rival to each other. The third step is to build a temporary base focused on looting, ally with the temporary base, use the temporary base as the center to clear out zombies, and search nearby areas.
These preliminary base construction work will take time, and at the same time, personnel on guard duty must be arranged to reduce noise and prepare for the first defense of the city. The two sentry towers require two people to be on duty. Excluding the loving couple Shitou and Su Shi, the other eight people are divided into four groups based on strong and weak combinations.
Xuedan and Shana were in a group, Peanut and Ma Hun were in a group, Lin Wu and Cuiyu were in a group, and Maya was in a group with Xiaodao. Since Peanut has night vision, Peanut and Shanna are responsible for the night shift from early morning to 6 am. Lin Wu and Cuiyu got the shift from 6pm to 0am.
The purpose of splitting up Snow Egg and Xiaodao is to take care of them. If they work the same shift, they won't see each other for at least 6 hours. After the split, one person will go to work, and the other person can go to visit the class.
Due to geographical reasons, Shadow was temporarily trapped in the sawmill. Fortunately, the sawmill has an artifact for producing building materials, but it is still unclear how much threat value manufacturing building materials will increase.
In the afternoon, Lin Wu hoped to reach a warehouse a hundred meters away. After approaching the warehouse with the help of firepower from the sentry tower, Lin Wu discovered that there were swarms of zombies in the warehouse, and there was also a Big Mac inside. After giving up, he scouted the area and discovered that there was a large stock of Big Macs. The density of Big Mac is equivalent to the density of Beishang Town.
Maya brought bad news to everyone through observation. The refresh rate of zombies in Zuoxian County is much higher than that in Beishang Town.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the system broadcast: Dear players, Homeland has ushered in the first spring. In the season of spring flowers... After the spring is over, Homeland will enter a near-hardcore survival mode. I hope you all like it. Specific information can be found in the game manual. We hope players can use the spring to prepare in advance. Thank you all and goodbye.
What is near-hardcore survival mode? To put it simply, Death Clear is a near-hardcore mode.
The biggest change in this model is that food has a shelf life, and food will no longer exist in unit form. Players will suffer from hunger and malnutrition. In order to take care of players, when summer comes, the system will give each base a large freezer. The food in the large freezer will not be damaged, and the system will provide free electricity for the large freezer for a month.
The farm will exist as a replica. To harvest crops, players need to actually plant and pick crops. Harvest a certain proportion of food every day based on pesticides, fertilization, watering, etc. The system provides salt and other condiments for free. Fishing skills have fishing bonuses when fishing, etc.
The normal demand for cooking and domestic water is increased, and players need to solve water source problems by themselves. One way is to take river water and extract clean water in proportion using water purification tablets made in the medical office. Another way is to dig a water well at the expense of a building unit after getting the blueprint. In addition, spring water can be brought from the mountain, and everything is left to the players to explore.
The final manual states that any player can apply to leave the hardcore mode at any time, but will not be able to return to the hardcore mode after leaving the hardcore mode. After the start of summer, only hardcore mode players can earn points, and non-hardcore mode players will no longer gain and lose points.
As soon as this notice came out, the entire army was in mourning. Even if knowledgeable people have guessed the development direction of the game, they can't help but criticize Dawn. Even Shadow Base is like this. After the farm becomes a real replica farm, everyone has to do farm work to have food. Everything we eat is vegetarian.
After everyone discussed this, they focused their attention on Lin Wu. Lin Wu subconsciously protected Xiao Wai: "What do you want to do?" "
Hunter." Shana said: "From now on, we will leave our daily meat to you. Ten people , an average of ten kilograms of meat a day."
Lin Wu said nonchalantly: "There is walking meat everywhere, I will give you 20 kilograms a day."
Even if they knew that Lin Wu was joking, these words made everyone feel nauseous. Only Xiao Dao took this question seriously and asked: "If we could really harvest zombie meat, would we starve to death or eat meat?"
This question seemed simple, but in fact it included many issues such as philosophy, ethics, and morality. Everyone was knocked down by the knife and fell into deep thought. To eat or not to eat? If you don't eat, you can only switch to non-hardcore mode. If you eat, you can survive.
"It's time to rest, and it's time to be on duty." Maya ended the meeting and walked two steps to Lin Wu: "Hunters can consider learning eagle eye as their second skill." Eagle eye is the only skill for tracking prey.
Lin Wu was very open-minded and replied: "With Xiao Wai here, are you still worried about not having any meat to eat? Xiao Wai, today we are going to have an idiom lesson, asking the dog to catch the mouse and follow me." He was so angry that he couldn't argue
! Xiao Dao said angrily to Lin Wu's back: "Just bully it as hard as you can, bully it as hard as you can."
"Bark her."
Xiao Wai turned his head and barked at Xiao Dao, with a fierce look on his face. Xiaodao hugged Shana's left arm and complained: "He bullied me."
Peanut said: "It's obviously you who violated other people's property rights. Xiaowai belongs to his private property..."
Xiaodao knocked out Peanut with one punch and did not dare to hit the villain. Don't dare to hit you?
...
Nth complaint.
Lin Wu: "The mice in Homeland are not in line with reality. In reality, some mice are stupid, but the mice in Homeland are too flexible, and every one of them is like this. The same is true when they are full, and the same is true when they are hungry. Their speeds are almost the same, and their speeds are almost the same. The reaction force is almost the same. This is absolutely impossible."
Little White Rabbit: "In the summer, we will add a variety of wild animals that can survive in the zombie world and give them random characteristics. Now it is to take care of the vast number of people. Players linearize the data so that players can discover patterns and catch prey more easily." "
What?"
Little White Rabbit repeated.
"Didn't hear clearly."
Little White Rabbit continued to repeat.
"Say it again."
Little White Rabbit repeated.
"Bye."
"Have a nice day. Goodbye."
Haha! You don’t even understand how to play tricks, so what about AI? Lin Wu sneered: Lin Q wins.
Although Maya, who was sitting on a log on one side, could not see the little white rabbit, she guessed what was going on and said: "In the 19th century, the Qing Dynasty signed unequal treaties with various countries. In order to save face, the emperor asked his men to only open the side door at the negotiation site. According to According to the rules at that time, there was a door on the side for servants to walk through. Although an unequal treaty was eventually signed, the emperor felt very proud of it."
Lin Wu watched Xiao Wai chase rats around in the pile of logs without looking back. , asked: "You haven't read the book yet?"
Maya asked: "Do you like revenge so much?"
Lin Wu moved his body to the last log with both hands, and sat next to Maya: "Oh... trapped You're trapped."
"You're not that diligent. You're trapped because you think there are too many people, and you have to say hello and chat with people from time to time." Maya looked at the weather station uphill to the side: "There are no building materials, your sub-base It can't be built."
Lin Wu explained: "I like chatting, but I don't like chatting with a lot of people."
Maya asked: "Because we need to consider the relationship between them?" "
Yes, the more people there are, the more time you have to talk before talking. The more you have to think about it." Lin Wu suddenly jumped up: "Hey, hey, Xiao Wai, shut up."
Xiao Wai bit a chicken somewhere and shut up immediately after listening to the master's order. Lin Wu Wu Ji said: "Open your mouth."
Maya and Lin Wu squatted in front of Xiao Wai. Xiao Wai's mouth was open and there was a motionless chicken in his mouth.
Maya poked the chick with her finger and said to Lin Wu: "Shana will kill you."
"Whoever betrays his companions is called a traitor." Lin Wu looked around. They were among the piles of logs in the west parking lot. People were killing the zombies on the other side, and no one noticed them. Lin Wu reached out and took down the chicken body, took a few steps, and threw the chicken towards the zombie ten meters away.
Lin Wu shouted: "Shana, your chicken is being attacked by a zombie."
Shana, who had just arrived at work, turned the gun at the sentry post and saw that her chicken was trampled under the feet of a zombie. She immediately shot the killer zombie. into pieces.
Lin Wu shouted: "Hurry up and corral all your chickens."
Lin Wu watched Shana on the sentry post hurriedly come down, walked to Xiao Wai and squatted down, saying: "That thing was called a chicken just now, I asked you to catch it It's a rat. If you dare to tell me, I'll spank you."
Maya smiled and said, "Tell me, right?"
Lin Wu pretended not to hear, patted the dog's head: "Go ahead, Go play."
Maya said: "I have something to do with you."
Lin Wu asked: "What matter?"
Maya said: "I heard that you have a set of magazines?"
Lin Wu was stunned: "Who said that?"
"Stone. Lin
Wu said: "The magazine was taken away by them."
Maya said: "I know, I'll ask if it's Liu Bei."
Lin Wu nodded.
Maya also nodded: "Sure enough." She could see something was wrong with Shitou's expression just now, but luckily she didn't ask any further, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
Lin Wu explained: "It's not mine."
Maya replied: "It doesn't matter if it is, it's normal. It's abnormal if you don't like it."
Maya was also bored, and there was nothing to clean up in the entire base. She didn't like chatting with everyone, and without books to pass the time, she could only wander around.
Lin Wu was boring at first, but at least he had a little crookedness. You can also secretly fire a few shots while the family is not paying attention. The sawmill site was large enough that no one could hear the Silent Ones' guns. But things didn't go as expected. When he turned around, he found Shitou looking at him ferociously, which startled Lin Wu.
Evil Lin Wu complained first: "Why are you scaring me?" Maya just left, and another stone came. Are you too busy?
Shitou rolled his eyes and said: "Your personal computer can't be built. You need to upgrade the command post first."
Lin Wu: "Oh?"
Shitou said: "After the last market, Maya told me that you wanted to make a personal computer. I asked Everyone focuses on collecting and trading electronic components. It was almost the same, but I forgot that the command post needs to be upgraded again."
Lin Wu: "It doesn't matter." If you speak so kindly, I don't know how to answer.
Shitou said: "Besides, if you go out or have the opportunity, pay more attention to world famous books. The library still needs to be built."
Lin Wu said: "Didn't the training room be mentioned in the meeting?" The training card is an ice fishing prize. A training room can be built, and players can receive one-on-one professional training from the trainer. The training content is mainly based on university subjects.
Shitou said: "Based on our survival time to calculate the points, I don't think we need to train any skills. We can just retire directly when we get to the earth."
Lin Wu smiled and asked, "Are you so confident?"
Shitou chuckled, completely confused. Hit the mark. Shitou said: "After occupying the sawmill, everything is about stability. We must survive as much as possible."
Lin Wu suddenly realized: "This is the key point."
Shitou nodded: "You are the one I am worried about most. You don't need to carry out this It's a useless risk. But I know you can't listen. You just treat the game as a game... Oh! I really envy your mentality."
Lin Wu said: "Old man, only those with a mental age of over 50 like to express their feelings about life. Envy others and reminisce about the past."
"50 years old?" Shitou thought for a while: "Maybe I would have been 50 years ago."
After saying that, Shitou called Xiao Wai nearby and touched the dog's head thoughtfully.
Lin Wu said: "Xiao Wai, play with this old thing for a while." He gave up Xiao Wai to Shi Tou and his position to Shi Tou. He could tell that the middle-aged man was moved by the scene.
After all, Shitou was not Lin Wu. Lin Wu had no other thoughts except a few friends on Blue Star. Shitou has an ex-wife, children, a company, and friends.
...
Lin Wu and Cui Yu went to work at six o'clock in the evening. At this time, the density of zombies in the substation was not as good as before. However, 20% of the area has no shooting boundaries and zombies cannot be cleared through sentries. Maya stood next to Lin Wu and said, "The most troublesome thing is the central control office of the substation." The control office is about 100 square meters and is a cement room with only one floor, with a closed door at the front and back.
Lin Wu looked back: "Do you think Shuguang did it on purpose?"
"On purpose?"
Lin Wu said, "There are street lights on the main roads in Zuoxian County, and there are street lights on the industrial zone roads. Why are there only street lights on the east side near our base? "
Lin Wu just complained casually, but Maya took out the map and explained seriously. The industrial area has a tic-tac-toe structure, or a Go board structure. Each building is one of the grids, and the roads are the lines on the board.
Take Tian as an example. Each of the four grids has a factory, warehouse or other facilities. The two vertical lines on the left and right of the field are the main roads, and the one vertical and three horizontal lines in the middle are the auxiliary roads. Although the layout is not as refined and neat, that is probably the case. The sawmill is currently on the lower left side of the word "田". The weather station is on the upper left. On the upper right is a fire station. On the lower right is a two-story building, with a warehouse on the first floor and an office area on the second floor.
Maya is considering splitting up three players to occupy the other three locations in the field, turning the entire area into a safe zone. In this way, the safety zone area of the four bases will exceed 5 hectares.
