Chapter 200 Weather Station Base
The Timber Wolf is extremely cruel as a sentry weapon. It has a shooting range of 400 meters, and the scope can see clearly within 400 meters. Coupled with the bonus of the sentry tower, zombies within a range of more than 500 meters are all targets. The second is the power of the forest wolf. As long as it is not hit on the limbs, ordinary zombies can be shot one at a time. Bai Kuangmeng took him away with a headshot, while Xue Kuangmeng could only take one more shot. Big Mac shoots twice and kneels once, and the fourth hit kills him after he kneels.
Although both are bolt-action rifles, the Silencer and the Timberwolf are two completely opposite weapons. The shooting effect brings a huge sense of power. No wonder Cuiyu is addicted to playing.
With the presence of the Timber Wolf, the sentry tower's speed at clearing zombies has increased a lot. Lin Wu thought of the .50 heavy machine gun he had obtained during the final activities of the second expedition. If the sentries could be equipped with that weapon, they would not be afraid even if all the six-star siege troops were Big Macs.
But even with the Timberwolves, Shadow still couldn't think of a way to take down the first floor of the warehouse. Warehouse No. 88 is Shadow's closest supply point. He has gained a lot in the office area on the second floor of the warehouse. You can imagine how much supplies there are in the first floor of the warehouse.
...
On the fourth day after the sawmill base was built, the Shadow members, dispatched by Maya, captured the weather station on the slope north of the sawmill. Lin Wu officially became the only member of the weather station.
The weather station has a building area of more than 100 square meters and is a one-story, 5-meter-high building. It consists of three units, namely the left unit, the middle unit and the right unit, each unit is about 40 square meters. In the middle is the campfire living room, radio station, and warehouse. There is a small grid on the left where dormitories are built. A small grid on the right is temporarily abandoned.
To everyone's surprise, the weather station has two large grids. There is a large grid on the rooftop, which is what everyone thought in advance. There is also a large grid outside the main entrance. After discussion, everyone agreed to build a business store on the big grid. After the store was established, everyone happily dumped all the garbage from the Shadow Item Warehouse into the Weather Station Item Warehouse. Even people without obsessive-compulsive disorder felt comfortable looking at the refreshing item warehouse.
Lin Wu glanced at the garbage in his base warehouse and was unmoved. He couldn't see it unless he opened the warehouse. What does the warehouse have? Do you even believe that there is mud? In addition, there are crickets, broken cups, pens, pictorials, cans... These are things that everyone throws in their bags when they go out. They don't need to sort them out. When they return to the base, the items will fly to the item warehouse. Fortunately, most of them are miscellaneous items. As long as you don't look for items in miscellaneous items, the item warehouse is not that bad.
Lin Wu expressed his opinion: I don't know how to do business.
In view of this, and considering the losses caused by the dissolution of Lin Wu's death base, Shitou asked everyone to vote for someone to join the weather station base. The results came out after a round of voting. First of all, Xiao Dao and Xue Dan won't be going. Everyone can't bear to break up the couple. After all, it takes only 10 people to have such a couple. It's too rare. Commander Shitou can't go, and Su Shi can't go. No one dares to vote for Maya. Ma Hun knew how to cook and couldn't give Lin Wu any benefits. Cuiyu is a doctor and must stay at the main base. Compared to Shana, everyone is relatively unfamiliar with Peanut, so they voted for Shana.
Shana joins Shadow Base in name only. Except for going back to the weather station every day to sleep, Shana can move around freely in the main base as an ally most of the time. The only restriction is that you cannot take things out of the warehouse, but you can put things into the warehouse.
Shana happily accepted the voting results and moved to the weather station with 13 chicks. She built a chicken coop next to the store and surrounded more than 20 square meters of land with a fence. There were ditches and grass in the land.
After the weather station base is established, its safety zone to the south is almost adjacent to the safety zone to the north of the main base. The closest distance is only two meters. The weather station base is about 15 meters higher than the main base. After the sentry is built on the rooftop of the weather station base, the view of the sentry tower includes the west parking lot, east parking lot, north gate and about 40% of the backyard of the main base. All four gates of the main base are within the shooting range of the weather station tower.
To the south of the weather station is the main base, to the west is a sloping meadow, and beyond is the road, which used to be a glass cutting factory. To the east is sloping meadow, sloping meadow, sloping meadow, and then the fire station. To the north of the weather station is a hillside, a higher hillside, and then a road. Further north of the road is a logging field, and further north of the logging field is an afforestation field, which connects to a mountain range.
The road north of the weather station is called Highway 99 and is at the same height as the weather station sentry. What’s interesting is that the road sign of Highway 99 shows that it leads to Fantasy City, one of the top ten super cities, a distance of 750 kilometers. The road sign shows that the nearest town is 250 kilometers away. This town is not a town from north to south, but called Lemon Town.
Maya found out from the information that the small town of Lemmon has a permanent population of about 3,000 people and has a large-scale military-civilian cargo airport and an exclusive airport supporting the military base. Most of the people in the town have a career in aviation or the military. The town is like a large military base. Soldiers and officers live near the base, and many supporting commercial facilities appear, eventually forming a small town.
The cars in Shadow Base are currently very gas-guzzling. If there are no zombies to obstruct you and the traffic is smooth, it will take about 30 liters of gasoline to run 250 kilometers. The standard gasoline barrel in the game is 5 liters. It takes 6 barrels of gasoline to reach the town of Lemmon. The round trip may take several days, and due to the unpredictable situation, Maya temporarily gave up the idea of visiting the small town of Lemmon.
However, the street sign gave Maya inspiration. If she relocates her base in the future, she may consider heading towards Lemon Town and Fantasy City instead of going to the North City. After feeling the pressure of survival in Zuoxian County, Maya believed that although there were abundant supplies in big cities, the threat to life was too high. As food rots in summer, the advantage of large cities with abundant supplies will be lost.
Shana agrees with Maya's view. She believes that planting and breeding should be the answer to the doomsday. Big cities obviously cannot give this answer. The county should be the largest urban unit that players can survive.
The two deputy commanders took a walk to discuss the future of Shadow while herding chickens. Lin Wu on the sentry post informed them of his new discovery: "There is a manhole cover beside Highway 99."
Shana said: "It should be used for highway flood discharge." There are many manhole covers in the city, but many of them are not sewer manhole covers. Special pipelines for cable, natural gas, and water pipe repairs. These pipelines are not connected to sewers. As the name suggests, sewers are facilities for treating domestic wastewater and urban rainfall.
Under the cover of Lin Wu, the two deputy commanders walked to Highway 99 and found the manhole cover that Lin Wu had mentioned. The manhole cover is outside the highway guardrail, and many drainage outlets can be seen along the manhole cover. This is a typical manhole cover for flood discharge channel maintenance channels. The function of the manhole cover is not to allow water to pour into the sewer, but to provide an entrance for dredging and maintenance.
Maya removed the manhole cover, Shana entered it and saw the sewer blueprint. This sewer blueprint is very simple and unique, independent of the sewer. Except for Highway 99, there are only four entrances and exits on the blueprint. It appears to be a sewer system independent of the city's sewers and dedicated to flood discharge.
Now we need to explore the locations of the four entrances and exits, hoping to open up the shadow's range of activities through the four entrances and exits. After a brief investigation, Maya called everyone through the headset for a meeting, preparing to form an expedition team to enter the sewer.
Flood sewers have several characteristics. The first feature is that the passage is very spacious. The second feature is that there is no odor. The third feature is that there are a lot of zombies inside. Information clues obtained through simple investigation showed that before the zombie virus broke out, Shuixi Industrial Zone organized a migration. They took food and clean water into the flood sewers to take shelter. Of course, no eggs are left intact when the nest is overturned, and in the end they do not escape the fate of death.
Shana: "The main water channel of Sewer No. 99 is four meters high and 3 meters wide. The lighting is very poor. The branch water channels are relatively narrow, only about 1.5 meters wide, and there are a lot of them. Maya and I suspect that there are night demons hiding in the water channels. Okay. The news is that the drainage holes can provide a certain amount of light during the day. However, the drainage holes are unevenly distributed and there is no pattern."
Peanut asked: "When being chased by a night demon, can you run to the light source of the drainage hole to avoid it? "
Lin Wu said: "Based on my understanding of the Night Demon, the possibility of chasing him down is very small. Basically, he gave up on the spot. Except for the twin snow eggs, none of the people here can outrun the Night Demon." Maya asked: "
Lin Wu, how many times have you dealt with the Night Demon? Do you have any pre-discovery methods? For example, blind bat sound waves, six wings breaking through the air, Big Mac shaking the ground, etc." Lin Wu recalled for a while and said: "The smell of
blood , when it opens its mouth to bite you, you can smell the strong smell of blood."
Maya said: "The only way is to use weapons to advance all the way through artificial lighting. The team is divided into two waves, one wave advances, and the other wave of defense may come from behind. Although the Night Demons are very powerful, they are relatively small in number. They can be defeated by using light-noise weapons such as crossbows and pistols, combined with melee weapons." Xiao Dao asked: "What about meeting the Big Mac?" Maya
replied
: "Retreat and don't fight with Big Mac outside the safe zone." Sewers are also considered indoors, and generally speaking, Big Mac will not be found indoors. How did Lin Wu explain when he met two people indoors? Don't talk about probabilities with blood plague survivors.
After looking around everyone and seeing that there was no problem, Maya divided into groups: "Xiao Dao, Shana, Peanut, Xue Dan and I were the front group. Lin Wu, Ma Hun and Cui Yu were the back group. Everyone carried portable lighting, and 5 flashlights were given to The front team, the back team use flashlights or miner's lamps." The flashlight is similar to a large button. The light it emits will not disturb the zombies, but the light source is weak. Different light conditions such as flashlights will disturb zombies and attract their attention and attack.
Peanuts have night vision. Note, this is night vision, not dark vision. Darkness at night is not the same as dark space. Simply put, Peanut cannot use his night vision during the day.
Or why do you think a good young man like Lin Wu can't get along with Shuguang?
Shitou explained: "Safety first." This is Stud. You are going to die, and I will not live either. He couldn't survive anyway, so dying for love with Su Shi seemed more heroic.
...
Shanna and Maya stood by the blueprint and talked quietly. They found the route to the river entrance south of the base from the blueprint. After assisting Shana in reviewing the route, Maya greeted everyone to set off.
The Silent One is more suitable for precise sniping at medium and long distances. Lin Wu is currently holding the Silent Night Revolver. He personally liked the gun, especially the long barrel, which looked particularly cool.
After passing an intersection, there is a small fork on the left, presumably for certain drainage points. The front team checked the fork in the road and passed. Lin Wu and the others followed. After passing the fork in the road, the flashlight on Ma Hun's tactical pistol shone at the fork in the road and passed by in a flash.
"Stop." Lin Wu crouched and sneaked: "There is a shadow around the corner."
Cui Yu said: "If there are zombies, they will run out."
"Unless it's a night devil." Lin Wu's miner's lamp illuminated the ten-meter-long path. See clearly. There is no black shadow reflected at the right turn position. Lin Wu stepped forward quickly, leaned against the corner, turned around and raised his gun, but saw no zombies. There is only one trail drainage channel, with multiple trails connecting to this trail.
The game's flood channels are very regular. There is a trail below the three drains on the ground, and the water from the three drains will enter the trail. There are 3 trails among the 9 drainage outlets, and water flows from the trails to a transverse trail. The more scuppers there are, the more trails there are. If there are not enough drainage outlets, insufficient number of trails, or narrow passages, a heavy rain can turn a city into a lake in just one hour. It is also commonly known as waterlogging.
One reason for frequent flooding in Earth's cities in the 21st century is the lack of dedicated floodways. Many floodways are intermixed with urban domestic sewers. For the sake of convenience, some cities do not dig sewers and instead use pipes instead. Once the number of residents increases and heavy rain occurs, it is easy to cause waterlogging.
The spillway in the game has one road after another. It cannot be said to be a maze, but there are quite a lot of forks in the road.
Lin Wu returned to the main road, where the floodwaters entered the river, and shook his head at everyone. Maya nodded to show that she understood, and directed the team to continue moving forward.
After traveling a few dozen meters, a battle broke out. More than twenty zombies blocked the way. Everyone used melee weapons and crossbows to eliminate them. After two more battles, Maya discovered that zombies like places with light. Whenever there is a drain above your head and sunlight shines through, there will be zombies.
After the third battle, Shana led the people into the trail, or the middle trail, which was narrower than the main trail but wider than common trails. At this time, it was only 50 meters away from the first sewer exit.
"Wait." Lin Wu stopped again, walked into the ten-meter-deep side path, turned around the corner, and still found no target. Lin Wu retreated, put down a bear trap at the corner, and then joined the main force.
Lin Wu had just taken a few steps when the sound of a bear trap closing was heard behind him, and Lin Wu immediately turned his head. Under the miner's lamp, a night devil was trying to escape with a bear trap attached to its leg. Lin Wu immediately shot it, killing it with two shots and a headshot, and then stepped forward to touch the body. The weakness of the Night Demon is that it is relatively brittle and can only be shot through the head. On the other hand, its brother the Blind Bat requires three headshots to kill. Of course, its sister Sun Devil is a joke, at least in winter, because it not only walks slowly, but also leaves footprints, and the success rate of sneak attacks is very low.
"Night Devil?" Everyone heard the sound and rushed over, filling the path.
Lin Wu nodded and searched for Night Demon's eyes. This is a pharmaceutical material. After taking the medicine, you can gain 10 minutes of night vision. Lin Wu handed Cui Yu his eyes. Although the eyes were very cute, like glass beads, Cuiyu still felt quite disgusted, but as a doctor, she bravely accepted it.
"Night demons can be used as medicine." Lin Wu said: "This is the first time I heard about it."
Xiao Dao said: "You have killed a few night demons, but I have never faced them head-on."
Lin Wu said: "Believe me , you don’t want to fight it.”
Most people had never seen the Night Demon before, so they asked when Lin Wu said this. Lin Wu could only give a general explanation. One of his ways to kill the Night Stalker was to use sunlight. At that time, the Night Stalker was more pitiful than the little girl who had been robbed of a lollipop. There is also black versus black, where firepower and skills speak for themselves. There are basically no moves, and a single move can mean the difference between life and death.
Let me tell you something I heard last week when some friends were making tea and chatting.
Friends of friends, let’s call them AA. His wife is very beautiful and young, and likes to dress up every day. Even so, AA is still relatively reassured.
About a month ago, AA's wife went back to her hometown to attend her cousin's wedding and stayed there for two nights. About two weeks after this incident, AA received an anonymous text message, which said Brother AA (the last two characters of his name), his sister-in-law had an affair, and I have the video.
Only the little girl from his wife's family or the younger ones would call AA brother AA. AA wonders, is there something wrong with the wedding?
This dilemma lasted for three days, and he definitely couldn't ask. Even if he did, his wife would not admit it, and he was too embarrassed to discuss it with his friends, so he tried to contact the other party through text messages.
The other party gave a screenshot of the video, which clearly showed AA's wife without any clothes on.
The other party asked AA to swear an oath of confidentiality, so it cannot be said that it was a video he gave to AA. AA agreed, but the other party changed his mind and said forget it, pretending that he didn't say anything. He explained that he texted AA just to express his dissatisfaction after being drunk.
The next process is not clear.
AA wanted to get the video very much and bought it for 4,800 yuan. The video was very short, only about ten seconds, and it was not clear, but it was basically identifiable as AA’s wife, and the
number of words was not enough. To make a long story short: In the end, AA was defrauded of more than 40,000 yuan by the head-swapping technology.
I am not telling you not to get married by saying this. I don’t want to tell everyone that you can find a young and beautiful wife if you have money. Instead, everyone is advised to be more careful and guard against being deceived.
