Chapter 246: The Fortress of Doom
substation is located near Pier Road. Last night, all the few zombies in this area were killed by the shadows, and not many emerged today. The convoy stopped temporarily, and five people got off the car and cleaned up the substation, leaving Da Shuang behind. The convoy moved forward and turned left at Sancha Road, Shanghai Di Road. The two vehicles drove to the southern area of the container base.
This is also the disadvantage of the container base. The base only has access to the south gate. There is a 20-square-meter platform outside the south gate with only two parking spaces. If there is a zombie siege, the two cars parked outside will have no way to escape.
This is the only location within the safety zone of the container base where parking is allowed. Of course, you can park outside the safe zone. Zombies will not damage the vehicle, but players can steal the vehicle. Although the density of players is sparse, things like incomplete security will happen.
After returning to the container base, Maya performed a series of personnel operations. Snow Egg and Little Knife become baseless personnel and cannot rejoin Shadow Base until they return to the sawmill.
Peanut drives to pick up Dashuang and takes over the substation by the way.
Linwu drones surveyed the surrounding situation, focusing on the warehouses and living areas on Wharf Road.
Maya and Starlight discuss an alliance.
After seeing off the three Starlights, Maya held a small meeting to give the base a name. Lin Wu's proposal for the Bright Base was directly rejected by Maya. Because the base is surrounded by the river on the left and the sea on the right, Peanut suggested naming it the Sun and Moon Base. Dashuang thinks that XX base is bad, but Sun Moon Land, Sun Moon Lake, Sun Moon Base, and Sun Moon Fortress are all good.
Lin Wu suggested: "Sun Moon Sect, Sun Moon Sect, Sun Moon Sect."
Peanut's heartstrings were touched, and he blurted out a sentence: "Sun Moon Sect, Wen Cheng Wude." Where had he heard this sentence before? ?
Seeing that things were slowly changing, Maya asked, "How about the Fortress of Doom?"
"Okay, okay." The three naming experts immediately agreed.
Next comes the vigorous infrastructure work. There are two dormitories for men and women, kitchen, infirmary, bathroom, toilet, production room, billiard room, electronic entertainment room, table tennis room, etc., all of which are useful and useless. There are 18 small grids, you can mess with them as much as you want.
In addition to facilities that can be built directly, there are also facilities that need to meet requirements before they can be built. Maya made a list based on needs for everyone to pay more attention to in their daily lives.
There is a library that needs books, a screening room that needs to collect movie posters, and a bathhouse that needs a hot spring outpost.
Any large or small grid can be built into a movie theater. The small screening room can accommodate 6 people, which is very troublesome compared to the large screening room. First of all, you need to collect movie posters to build a screening room. Secondly, there are no movie resources in the screening room. If you want to watch movies, you need to continue to collect posters. Each poster unlocks the corresponding movie.
Although small grids are not as good as large grids, the building units are very distinctive. When there is water and electricity, farmers can build hydroponic chambers to grow crops, and their harvests are about 40% of those on large farms. Gardens can be built in small open-air lattice, where various flowers, herbs and tobacco can be planted and cultivated. Fish ponds can also be built if there is water. There is also a gym, tennis room, etc.
Whatever Lin Wu and the others want, Maya will build whatever they want. They can tinker with the small grids as they please. The most indispensable thing at the moment is building materials. The problem lies in the two large grids. A large open-air grid is on the top floor in the south of the base, which is most suitable for building a sentry. However, players standing on the top floor can directly shoot towards the seawall road below, so the meaning of the sentry seems to only reduce the threat value.
Another large indoor grid is in the center of the first floor, and the original blood heart is at the bottom of the command post platform. It is a large room made up of four stacked containers.
After studying for a long time, Lin Wu and the others couldn't come up with a reason, so they built a sentry on the top floor. As for the remaining indoor large grid, Lin Wu and others had no idea at all, leaving the headache to Maya.
After the meeting, Lin Wu and Peanut went to the newly built production room, where they were studying how to make a boat. Unfortunately, building a small sailboat requires a lot of steel and canvas, and only engineers can make it. The fishing rod is relatively simple, but the warehouse is very poor and there is no garbage at all.
Da Shuang boarded the newly completed sentry post. After boarding the post, Da Shuang instantly fell in love with the place. The scenery was so beautiful. To the west, you can see the Zuoxian River that flows into the sea. The river is as transparent as emerald. Facing east, you can see the vast sea, the sea and sky are the same color, and seabirds are soaring, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Dashuang took out the remaining half pack of chips from his backpack and stretched out the guard post with a chip in his hand. After waiting quietly for a while, a seagull swooped over, took away the fries and then spread its wings and flew high.
At the appointed time, the alliance mission officially begins. Shadow uses the Road Star to dash forward and send the Fortress of Doom badge he got to the Shadow Warehouse. After Lin Wu got the shadow token, he used a drone to send the badge to the Fortress of Doom, and Maya stored the token in the warehouse. The mission lasted eight minutes, Doomsday Fortress contributed all its manpower, Shadow Base contributed one manpower, and the two sides successfully formed an alliance.
In the afternoon, Shadow Base delivered basic supplies such as iron and cloth, as well as some furniture. Single rocking chair sofa, beach chair, mahjong table, etc. In addition, there are mahjong, poker, soy sauce, salt, potato chips, biscuits, etc. Of course, serum, painkillers and other medical supplies are indispensable.
Although the distance between the two bases is a bit far, there are few zombies on the road, and you can reach the other base in about 10 minutes by normal driving. Limited by gasoline, the miser Shitou issued a rule not to come to the house for anything. If a member wants to change his base, he can apply directly to the leaders for explanation.
...
Occupied the container terminal last night, held a meeting today, made personnel arrangements, and formed an alliance. After finishing my work, it was already evening. Since tomorrow is the final day of the season, Maya announced free activities and did not arrange work for everyone.
Peanut blew a whistle on the sentry post, Lin Wu looked up, and Peanut waved. Lin Wu was confused, can't you speak into the headset? Although he thought so, he still put away the tennis balls, ended the fight with Xiao Wai, and headed to the sentry post.
Lin Wu took the iron ladder to the second floor, climbed the straight ladder that came with the container to the third floor, and then took the spiral ladder to reach the sentry post. Compared with the flat surface of a sawmill, a container is as three-dimensional as a Rubik's Cube. There is a saying, ugly is really ugly. In addition, both the passage on the first floor and the covered bridge on the second floor are very narrow. When two people pass by each other, if one person turns away, physical contact will inevitably occur.
Of course, everyone is a quality person, and both parties will step aside and give way.
Compared to an empty sawmill, Doomsday Fortress brings a completely different experience.
Standing on the first floor of the container and looking up, you feel like you are in a prison. If you stand on the second floor of the container and look down, you will feel depressed. Looking up, you can see a large sky, which makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally. It's also good to look at horizontally and vertically, it's well organized and square, which is very suitable for obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The third floor is another experience. Although the third floor is just a simple word, you can see the river and the sea when you look down, and you can see the endless horizon when you look up. When he climbed up to the 15-meter-high sentry and looked out, Lin Wu truly understood the mentality of trying to reach a thousand miles. I wish I could be higher so I could see farther.
Lin Wu walked to Peanut: "What?"
Peanut handed the monocular to Lin Wu: "Have you seen the Happy Bar in the living area?" "
Yes." The living area is large, with a dock road outside and a road inside. Relatively broad. This living area has hotels, restaurants, office buildings, residential areas, etc. Happy Bar is located in a three-story independent building on Pier 2 Road. There is a bar sign on the top of the building, which is very conspicuous.
Peanut said: "There is a small boat opposite Happy Bar."
"I saw it." It was a white boat with two wheels on the bottom, being towed by a scrapped SUV and parked in the open-air parking lot outside the hotel. Lin Wu put down the telescope: "Not to mention the difficulty of driving into the corpse tide and completing the towing by car and boat. When talking about this boat, it is just a boat." Lin Wu explained his words: "From my understanding, this kind of boat usually Equipped with a propeller propeller. But the hull and propeller will be separated during transportation."
Dashuang was also on the sentry post and asked: "Can you call for artillery support? After killing the zombies, go get the ship?" Qiong Ze crossed from left to right. , rich firepower coverage.
Lin Wu: "Not good. The first reason: the effect is very poor. A large number of shells will only fall on the building, making it difficult to bypass the building and bomb the ground directly. The second reason: I can't throw the smoke bomb to the designated location. Don't Think about it, we can't get this boat."
Peanut sighed: "I know we can't get it, but I just want a boat."
Lin Wu comforted him: "Sooner or later, there will be one. By the way, why do you want a boat? You want to go out on the sea. ?"
Peanut said: "No, after we have a boat, we can go up the Zuoxian River and search for supplies along the way. If we are chased by zombies, jump into the river. Besides, look, there is a lighthouse far away in the sea. I want to go up there. Look." There are no zombies in rivers or seas with a water depth of more than two meters. This is the basic setting of the game.
The first purpose attracted Lin Wu. There were so many zombies in Zuoxian County, and the corpses were everywhere. One of the safe passages is the underground passage, but it takes a long time to go back and forth through the underground passage. No one in Shadow is willing to do bounty missions now. The second is the Zuoxian River. The main channel of Zuoxian River divides Zuoxian County into Shuixi and Shuidong. If you can use a boat and pass through the drainage outlet connected to the underground passage, a trip to the Bounty Hunter Hall will only take about ten minutes.
However, Lin Wu knew that these were just excuses. Peanut simply wanted to sail the boat. This made Lin Wu curious and asked a few more questions. It turns out that after graduating from college, Peanut became a worker in offshore drilling in order to earn a high salary. Whenever he stood alone on the bridge and looked at the sea, he would have the urge to sail out for a ride. Unfortunately, the drilling platform only has lifeboats, which can only be used in emergencies. I worked for 8 months and rested for 4 months. I was transported by helicopter after get off work and off work, and I never came into contact with a ship. Now that he sees the sea again, he has the idea of going out for a ride again.
Lin Wu came down to the command post on the second floor, sat down to make tea, and looked at Maya who was busy. Lin Wu told her about peanuts. Maya replied: "Impossible, at least not now."
Lin Wu: "Don't you ask him why he wants to sail out to sea?"
"Everyone has his own reasons for doing everything." Maya stopped and took a look. Lin Wu said: "I remember, I will try to get a ship if I have the chance. I have a question: When did you become so enthusiastic?" Lin Wu leaned on the back of the recliner and put his feet
on the table of the command post. , said: "When I was a child, I often lay on the grass and looked up at the clouds, and found patterns in the changes in the clouds. At that time, I always had a picture in my mind. I flew a super-fast plane through the clouds, drew a straight line, and left a trail of white smoke. From then on. From that time on, my dream was to be a pilot, even one who spreads pesticides."
"Have you ever passed the pilot's license test?"
Lin Wu replied, "It's too difficult. Not to mention practical training, I failed the theoretical part three times. ."
"Passed the fourth time?"
"No, I don't have the money to take the fourth test." Lin Wu said: "So I can understand Peanut's idea to a certain extent."
Maya put the drawn pictures away, sat down and said: " The sea is more ruthless than Peanut thought. To be precise, I would rather perform a rescue mission in the universe than search for survivors on the sea. But ships are indeed useful." Maya said: "You saw that one 20 kilometers
away Is there a lighthouse?"
"Yes."
Maya said: "Generally speaking, there is a channel near the lighthouse. The design of the channel usually refers to the ocean currents. If we have a ship, we can stay near the lighthouse, and maybe we can meet people who follow the ocean currents. The ship came. Not to mention the supplies on the ship, just think of the oil reserves on the ship, which is enough for us to squander until we are exhausted."
Lin Wu admired: "Either don't do it, or do something big if you want. But why don't you Put your idea on a tanker and build any tanker. We can light it up and play every day."
Maya did not argue with Lin Wu: "Does tomorrow's event have a goal?"
Lin Wu said: "No goal, just pure flying."
During the event, players can float to an altitude of 100 meters and wander around the entire server. But there are limitations. For example, if your base is a church base on the top of a mountain, then I'm sorry, but you can't see the city. If your base is a weather station base, you can enter the sky above the city, but you will only see something similar to the weather station base.
There are not many restrictions on the two bases of Shadow and Doom, especially Doom Fortress, which is a large base. Doom members can discover all system-recommended bases except super large bases.
If you find a base that you can replace, you can return to your base and replace it immediately. There is only one opportunity, and the principle is first come, first served.
...
Entering the night, the four-person group in Doomsday Fortress felt that there were a few people for the first time. Because of the level difference, the entire base seemed very quiet, and it was difficult to look up at anyone. Unlike in the sawmill, the view is clear and clear, and it is difficult not to see anyone.
However, the fortress formed by the stacking of extremely bright containers contrasts with the darkness and unknown outside, and can bring an indescribable sense of security and comfort to people.
Here, you don’t need to worry about zombies breaking into your home, and you can even turn off the intruder alarm. After Maya had a comprehensive understanding of the situation in the Doomsday Fortress, she placed four mines on the South Gate Seawall Road and canceled the night shift.
The total length of the seawall road is 100 meters, of which 50 meters is a safe zone, and the activity of zombies at night is reduced by half. Normally, it is unlikely that a randomly wandering zombie can walk 50 meters in a straight line. Even if a zombie walks to the south door, it still needs to tap the south door to enter.
Even though everyone was sleeping like pigs and didn't hear the sound of the metal door being slapped, the zombies successfully entered the doomsday fortress. At this time, the zombies still need to find their way. It has a back-shaped structure with iron stairs at the four corners.
The zombies were lucky enough to find the iron stairs, and the clanking sound made by going up the stairs did not disturb the four pigs, and they successfully reached the second-floor covered bridge. At this time, because it is a non-siege zombie, it cannot destroy buildings and cannot directly invade the dormitory. Its biggest role is to scare players. And there is one prerequisite for all this, which is to cut off the little crooked nose.
After thinking about it comprehensively, Maya found that there was no need to keep a night watch at the Doomsday Fortress.
Late at night, the four of them were basking in the moonlight with their puppy, staring into the darkness, contemplating, chatting and playing poker, and each returned to their dormitory.
