Chapter 205 Mall
Maya stretched out her hand to stop Lin Wu from opening the door: "We have to face NPC mercenaries. We lack bullets and can't afford to be injured. This task cannot be done now. To do this task, we must stock up on weapons and ammunition." What Maya is really worried about is that this kind of fierce battle, not to mention whether the mission can be completed, will definitely reduce the number of troops under the current conditions.
The Shadows are not without foundation. In addition to Timberwolves, assault rifles and newly obtained grenade launchers, they also have rockets. There are even shock bombs and grenades. It’s not today to fight.
Shana said: "Take a bold guess, could this hotel be a player mission center? The 35th floor is locked, and the floors below are also locked. The 35th floor is an evacuation mission, what about the 34th floor?" Maya said: "Go down and take a look
. "
Shana is right, there are also tasks on the 34th floor. The mission is to find the Deep Blue Star, a gemstone set in a necklace. The owner of the necklace is a female star. After the zombie virus broke out in Zuoxian County, the whereabouts of the female star were unknown. A wealthy man in the city the day after tomorrow offered a huge reward to find the Deep Blue Star.
After the player gets the Deep Blue Star, he can get the reward by handing the Deep Blue Star to the uncle in the Bounty Hunter Hall. Reward unknown.
The trick is also here. You must take the token and go to the bounty hunter to accept the exclusive bounty mission before you can start the mission. The same goes for the next 33rd and 32nd floors. Only mission tokens are provided, and the number of mission tokens is unlimited. Anyone can use the tokens to accept missions on a first-come, first-served basis.
Lin Wu made a complaint: Why can't he use the Deep Blue Star to submit the mission?
Little White Rabbit explained this to prevent players from completing all tasks at once, so this threshold was set. Each group of players can only take on one exclusive mission at a time, and the mission has a deadline.
Little White Rabbit also revealed two pieces of information. The first piece of information is that after a floor task is completed, it will be reset to other tasks after a certain period of time. The second information is that players who complete a task can go to any floor through the elevator.
Lin Wu thought the little white rabbit was very interesting, so he didn't embarrass it today, but he soon discovered that he was wrong, because there were instructions written near the elevator entrance on each floor. It’s just that I didn’t discover it. You can't blame Lin Wu. Lin Wu looked at the 35th floor very carefully, but the 35th floor was not a bounty mission, so there was no explanation. When we arrived on the 34th floor, everyone went to the main topic without paying attention to the details.
So far, the four entrances and exits of Sewer No. 99 have been clearly explored. Entrance No. 1 is near an industrial residential area and has strong looting potential, but it is far away and has a high density of zombies on the road. Entrance No. 2 is in the underground parking lot of the mall and is the best resource gathering point. Entrance No. 3 is directly related to the Fortress Company office building, and the risk factor is extremely high. Entrance 4 is the bounty mission hotel. If you want to do these missions, you must first clear the route to the bounty hunter hall.
After weighing and deliberation, Maya and Shana unanimously decided that starting from tomorrow, the main work of the base will be to operate the No. 2 entrance and exit.
...
The group of people retreated to the base, and the first thing they did was try out the grenade gun. The weather station sentry was the highest. Lin Wu took the grenade gun and adjusted the height of the grenade gun according to Maya's instructions. The gun body is kept balanced and has a level on it. If the gun is unstable, you can open the grenade gun's tripod and place it on the ground.
The second step is to adjust the angle.
After finishing, put a grenade into the magazine, push and pull to load, and pull the trigger. With a soft 'pop' sound, the grenade flew out and landed somewhere. Only the sound of the explosion was heard, but the location of the explosion was not seen. Maya adjusted and fired another shot, which hit the fire station a hundred meters away.
The grenade landed between Big Mac and the three zombies and exploded. The three zombies were blown ten meters away. Big Mac was pushed forward by the shock wave and took two steps forward. It was not like he was staggering after being fatally injured.
The third grenade flew out, hitting Big Mac's head and exploded. Big Mac stumbled first, then continued to take a few steps back before falling to the ground.
"Lin Wu is so awesome." Lin Wu was surprised and fired again. This time the grenade landed on the ground three meters away from the Big Mac and exploded. The three launches were all at the same height and angle, but there were also deviations of several meters. Lin Wu explained: "I missed the target on purpose."
Maya: "I know." If you don't have a meaningless debate with Lin Wu, whatever you say will be what it is.
After playing for a few more times, Lin Wu felt bored. The advantage of grenades is area damage. The disadvantage is that the damage is insufficient, and zombies three meters away from the explosion point will most likely not die. Of course, this is a characteristic of zombies, and only the head is the key. Another disadvantage is that loading is more troublesome. The refreshed ammunition is on the ammunition belt. You must first remove the grenade and load it. You must be careful during this process and always pay attention to the horizontal pointer.
These are not problems. The problem is that you can't hit the target directly with one jump. To change from point A to point B, one or even several rounds of adjustments are required. On the other hand, sniper rifles and assault rifles are so fun to use, just aim and fire.
Others had similar views to Lin Wu. They preferred firearms to grenade launchers. But Shitou didn't expect that he liked grenade guns very much. He said that the kid didn't know the art of explosion. So this grenade gun became Shitou's weapon when he was on duty. Because the sound of the grenade gun is very small when fired, Shitou will also take it out and fire around when he is not on duty and bored. He didn't care about leveling, he just held the gun at an angle and pointed it upwards, and it didn't matter where it landed.
It's a pity that the bazooka is a rocket launcher, not a rocket gun, otherwise this thing with unlimited bullets shouldn't be too scary.
...
The new base was established within a week, and with the twin farms managed by Shitou, there was no need to worry about food and clothing. The two deputy commanders led the team to Exit 2 of Sewer No. 99 again: a large shopping mall. During this period, because everyone abided by the affairs assigned by captain Maya, they not only avoided a sneak attack by the night devil, but also successfully counterattacked and killed the night devil.
After understanding the topography of the underground parking lot, it only took us 5 minutes to find the freight elevator. The freight elevator stopped at the third floor. She opened the elevator door and followed the maintenance elevator to the first floor. Maya opened the elevator a crack and looked inside for a while, then opened the elevator and called everyone to come up.
The elevator entrance is a supermarket warehouse, but the back entrance of the supermarket is closed, so the group walked along the road. There were almost no zombies along the way, and we soon reached a public restroom hall. There are also massage chairs, claw machines, and smoking areas in the lobby. There aren't many zombies. While everyone was dealing with the zombies, Maya arranged for Lin Wu to investigate at the door of the hall. Outside this door was the first floor of the real shopping mall.
The team eliminated all the zombies and squatted down next to Lin Wu.
Lin Wu said: "There are a lot of zombies and the density is high. Except for screaming, no other mutated zombies were found."
Maya stood up and looked out through the glass on the door. Everything was as Lin Wu said.
Maya said: "Ma Hun and Xuedan stay to guard the door, Shana observes the overall zombie movements, Lin Wu handles the screams, Xiaodao, me, and Peanut fight head-on." Cuiyu stayed at the base today.
Shana asked: "Do you want to try to use cold weapons to deal with zombies?"
Maya said: "It seems possible. In terms of density, the roar of zombies only affects a certain range, and as long as we stand still, we can clear an area. Logically It should be like this, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out search work." Relying on Lin Wu's stealth to steal chickens is very difficult and inefficient.
Shana suggested: "There is a UFO fried chicken shop opposite."
Maya looked at Shana, and Shana explained: "You won't gain weight by eating in the game."
Xiaodao agreed very much: "There is a milk tea shop next door. I want to spend my whole life in the game. Eat all the trans fat."
"Okay, everyone does their job." Maya: "Lin Wu."
Lin Wu opened the door, and the combatants took out their weapons and walked out. The zombies nearby immediately started to move, and a fight broke out between the two sides. Due to the open terrain, the pressure in the battle is still relatively high. Fortunately, Maya and Xiaodao were extremely ferocious and withstood the waves of attacks. Slowly, the intensity of the battle began to decrease, and fewer and fewer zombies were supported. An area of about 15 meters was cleared of zombies.
However, it is so easy for players to succeed, so Dawn should be renamed Holy Light. Peanut opened the freezer in the kitchen of the fried chicken shop, wanting to see what was there to eat. Unexpectedly, there was a wild beast trapped inside. He grabbed a handful of Peanut by the head, and held Peanut's head to eat. Xiao Dao's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. He flew out with an arrow and hit the head violently. After hitting the wall violently, he fell to Lin Wu's feet and was captured by Lin Wu.
Maya ordered: "Search the fried chicken shop quickly, get the supplies you can get, and then return to the base." If you are injured, you must return to the base. It takes more than 20 minutes to walk back to the base. There are zombies on the road, and there are also night demons who are ready to move. Therefore, as long as someone suffers a non-healing bleeding injury, the entire team must retreat to the base. Cuiyu cannot treat the infection, and a shot of serum must be wasted.
Peanut felt very sorry and kept apologizing. Maya knew it wasn't Peanut's fault, and she blamed herself for being paralyzed by superficiality. Before, Lin Wu would have been asked to investigate and deal with possible zombies in the store first. Lin Wu may not be able to escape the fierce attack of the freezer, but it is not the same as being injured by Peanut. Even Lin Wu couldn't escape the violent attack, and no one else could escape the attack. Furthermore, Lin Wu was able to save a serum injection after being attacked.
...
Due to the zombies blocking the 20-minute journey, it took 40 minutes to walk, 80 minutes back and forth, plus 10 minutes of treatment. After an hour and a half, the team returned to Channel 2 and successfully reached the first floor of the mall.
Then a comprehensive search began, killing zombies in close combat. Lin Wu inspected the stores and emptied them one after another after eliminating threats. In addition to the five major resource packs, the items obtained also include a variety of commodities.
Watch store: More than 300 watches were looted. Most of the watches can be dismantled to obtain mechanical gears, which are common but scarce materials like electronic components.
Optical Shop: Blue Star already has the technology to completely correct vision. Therefore, for them, glasses are more of a decoration. Choose lensless glasses or sunglasses each.
Jewelry store: I don’t know what the purpose is, but several girls thought it was very beautiful, so they were also looted.
Obviously these stores are of little significance to improving players' survivability.
The next shop is a bakery, which has a variety of pastries and breads in addition to two food packages. After a thorough search some flower seeds were found.
Next is the clothing store, where only a purple female evening dress is a complete item, and a building materials package is obtained.
Seven resource packs were found in 5 stores, one for each person, and there was no way to get more. Seeing that everyone was carrying a bag of goods, team leader Maya ordered them to go home and take out the trash.
During the shopping mall, you can fight monsters for 30 minutes and search for 30 minutes.
At the end of the fourth trip, the sun was about to set, and today's search work ended successfully. Everyone walked back to the base under the setting sun and took stock of today's harvest.
18 resource packs, including 6 building material packs and 12 food packs.
In addition, there are a lot of rubbish such as watches, dolls, glasses, jewelry, cash and other miscellaneous items. A lot of cash? They had never seen an ATM machine before. After breaking it open, they obtained a large amount of banknotes. After tearing them apart, they brought the banknotes back so that they could make a fire.
There are tons of snacks, including potato chips, prunes, melon seeds, etc. There are countless snacks.
There are a lot of dolls, including pillow dolls that can be placed on the bed, and cute dolls that can be hung on backpacks.
In addition, there are all kinds of wine, cups, porcelain and other products.
I must praise the system backpack here. As long as things can be stuffed into the backpack, the volume is not counted, only the weight is counted. Can hold unlimited items as long as they are not overweight.
Everyone gathered around the campfire to discuss tomorrow's goals, and their enthusiasm for shopping made them endlessly happy. Since Exit 2 of Sewer No. 99 has been opened, resource points have been obtained. Therefore, tomorrow's work content needs to be adjusted again.
Maya held a red wine glass in her hand and said: "We still have two things to do. The first thing is to find the entrance to the sewage sewer."
Shana reminded: "There is a sewer near warehouse No. 88." She found it when moving furniture last time. , containing a blueprint.
Maya nodded: "For the task of Zuoxian Hotel, we need to open an underground passage to the bounty hunter hall. This matter must be left to Shana. The zombies in the sewer are low in strength. You can choose two team members to explore with you. Sewer."
Shana looked at everyone and said: "Lin Wu..."
Maya interrupted: "Lin Wu will take the sky corridor to the blood mist area tomorrow. His job is to brush the serum and try to hoard a batch of high-value products before the next merchant comes. Commodities." Red wine, snacks, etc. are considered garbage in the eyes of businessmen. Even a merchant with a 200 kilogram load may not be able to exchange it for a resource pack.
Shana raised no objection and asked: "Who wants to go on an adventure with me?"
Everyone raised their hands. Although sewer work is not as good as shopping at the mall, everyone is happy to take on some tasks that others are unwilling to do. This is cohesion.
Peanut has exploration skills and is suitable for searching. Maya is going to lead the team. As a doctor, Cuiyu cannot travel too far. There is always someone who needs treatment. After excluding Lin Wu, only Brother Soul Egg and Xiao Dao remained. Shana said: "Xiao Dao and Ma Hun."
Xiao Dao raised his fist and touched Shana, and then fisted with Ma Hun. Xuedan frowned and was unhappy, but he was just acting deliberately. When a boy separated from his prospective girlfriend, he showed sadness, which is a normal survival instinct.
Maya said: "Lin Wu, you choose a partner."
Lin Wu said: "Peanut."
Maya said: "Peanut exploration skills are very helpful for searching."
Lin Wu replied: "I know." He is also very good at touching corpses. Big help. Peanut has the ability to accelerate by touching corpses, but he does not, so of course Peanut has to be responsible for all the work of touching corpses. Those who can do more work!
If Maya wanted to say anything else, Lin Wu said: "Serum is expensive!"
Maya nodded: "Okay. Xuedan, Cuiyu and I are responsible for searching for supplies."
Shana started lightly and said: "I don't agree with dividing into three groups at the same time. , the mall team will face too much pressure." Theoretically, Maya's repeating crossbow can clear the field. However, theory needs to consider objective conditions and error tolerance.
Shitou said: "Maya, I understand your desire to quickly establish an advantage. I don't agree with dividing into three groups at the same time."
Maya has evaluated the combat effectiveness. She believes that she, Xue Dan and Cui Yu can fight against the Night Demon. When Maya heard what Shi Shi said, she immediately realized her mistake and didn't think carefully.
When partnering with Lin Wu, assuming that Lin Wu's combat power is 1 and her combat power is 0.8, they will usually do things with 2.5. Although it is dangerous every time, I never tire of it. In Blue Star's work, the team's combat effectiveness is 3, and she will definitely arrange training with no less than 3, because only in this way can the team make progress.
Xuedan's combat power is 0.6, Cuiyu's is 0.5, and his own combat power is 0.8 and 1.9, which can deal with Night Demons of around 1.5. But players are not soldiers and cannot be evaluated and measured by numerical values. They must have an overwhelming advantage to reduce the risk value. To deal with a 1.5 Night Demon, it is best to have a combat power of 2.5 or even 3.0.
