Chapter 20: Return to the Ruins
Zeng Jia walked along the passage where there was no zombie left, and walked back to the gate of the airport. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The lights on the switch panel on the side of the gate are all on. With a slight click, the gate began to open slowly after a mechanical click.
That's it, let's see what my ship looks like.
Although Zeng Jia's mood was much more relaxed, his vigilance did not relax at all. He took the machine gun in his hand, ready to shoot at any moment, and entered the door.
There is another passage inside the gate. Bright lights, no zombies, and no guard robots.
The passage was not long, and it soon came to an end.
After opening the gate at the other end of the passage, Zeng Jia finally entered the airport.
As far as the eye can see, the airport is a huge space, with countless machinery and equipment that Zeng Jia can't even name, as well as many vehicles, loaders, cranes and other heavy machinery and equipment that he can recognize, and a huge spaceship is moored on the dock of the airport.
Overall, it's exactly like the spaceport he's seen in some sci-fi movies.
The only spaceship moored in the airport must be what Zeng Jia was looking for.
But...... It's huge! It's really big!
Zeng Jia had never thought about how big a spaceship would be. Is it the size of an airplane? Or is it the size of a rocket?
But neither.
The steel giant ship was quietly moored on the docks of the airport. The hull was riddled with bullet marks, and armor plates torn by the explosion abounded. The length of the hull is more than 400 meters, the width is more than 100 meters, and the highest point is about 150 meters.
Although it is not enough to describe it as a Battlestar, the huge ship has made Zeng Jia completely dumbfounded.
"I ...... I'll it......" Even Zeng Jia, who has always been calm, was instantly stunned.
I really never expected that the reward I received at the beginning of the heroic mission was actually such a huge space ship. Although this was a pleasant surprise, there was a visceral sense of powerlessness for him to fix this behemoth.
The next step in the quest is for the player to fix this thing? But how to fix it? Where do you start repairing such a huge ship? Even if you just check all the places, I'm afraid you won't be able to complete it in ten days and half a month......
No, no, calm down first, this is a game, not the real world. What doesn't make the game unplayable must be something that can help the player with repair work, such as automatic repair robots and the like.
With this in mind, Zeng Jia did not rush to the airport dock and board the spaceship to have a look, but immediately turned to the other side of the dock to find a place like the control room.
Soon, he had a little bit of a catch, and he found a detailed map of the airport on one wall.
He looked at the map and searched little by little: docks, trestle bridges, passenger service areas, cargo passages, maintenance management rooms......
There you have it, the maintenance management room! What he should do now is to go here and check it out to see if there are any consoles that can allow those robotic arms on the dock to repair the spaceship automatically.
Following the route on the map, he quickly found the maintenance management room.
There are several zombies roaming around the maintenance management room. For the current Zeng Jia, zombies are completely fearless. He raised his machine gun, knocked out all the zombies with a few bursts of fire, and then began to inspect the consoles in the maintenance room.
On the computer screen of the console are the images and materials of the Autumn Wind.
Autumn Wind, an Emerald Bird-class space exploration ship.

This is it! It seems that as long as you do the operation on this console, you can start the repair work on the Autumn Wind.
However, when Zeng Jia tried to operate the console, a prompt popped up: this operation required elementary mechanical engineering skills.
Mechanical Engineering? This sounds like a non-combat skill, and it is probably the same production skill as any other enchantment, alchemy, etc. in other games.
It seems that without this skill, it is impossible to operate the console and carry out repair work.
While this makes sense, Zeng doesn't know how to study mechanical engineering, and he doesn't know where to learn it.
Now his mission was stuck again. It seems that he did not follow the process of the system, and the various steps of the task were a little disjointed, so that it was difficult to continue.
But Zeng Jia doesn't think that if you don't follow the steps, you will definitely not be able to complete this task. Because the realism of this game is very high, which means that the degree of freedom in the game will also be very high, and there will be many different ways to complete the same task.
Isn't it just that you need a mechanical engineering skill? This skill must be something that the player can learn, and when it comes to learning skills, it is natural to go to NPCs to learn them. And when it comes to NPCs who can learn mechanical engineering, he immediately thinks of one - Nina.
That's right, the blonde girl she met at the beginning on the crashed transport ship, she said she was a mechanical engineer!
Although she is just an NPC, when communicating with her, you can clearly feel that her AI intelligence is very high, and she is definitely not the kind of NPC who will stand stupidly and wait for death.
After completing the task of handing over the ammo supply to the DC Force player, she will definitely leave the transport ship and go to safety. Ask with other players, it shouldn't be hard to find her.
What's more, since one step in this heroic quest can only be completed with the skill of Mechanical Engineer, even if it is only for the needs of the plot, the NPC with this skill will definitely wait for the player who takes the quest to find her in a place where the player can easily find it.
Then I don't have to say anything, I have to find Nina, whether it's to learn mechanical engineering from her, or bring her over directly, I should be able to solve the problem of repairing the Autumn Wind.
Without further ado, Zeng Jia immediately set off to return from the original path to find Nina.
But when he reached the door, he hesitated slightly.
What's the situation out there now? Will the battle already be decided?
It's not impossible. It's been hours since he'd entered this hidden scene, and the battle on the ruins had most likely been decided.
If it was the Earth Federation that won in the end, then as soon as he went out, he would most likely face a siege of hundreds of players from the opposing faction.
Even if it is his own side that wins, there is no guarantee that no one will fight his idea. After all, his previous achievement of killing the boss alone has been announced by the world.
In any game where PVP can be made, the scariest thing is never the powerful boss monsters, but the other players. Now, no matter which player he encounters, he is not safe.
So what can you do to protect yourself as much as possible and complete the task?
So after a short period of consideration, Zeng Jia opened his skill bar and added 1 point to radar mastery from the 2 skill points that he hadn't added before. His radar screen flickered for a moment, and then the range of the display expanded again.
In this situation, the best way to ensure one's own safety is not strong firepower or thick armor, but more accurate intelligence. If he can have a larger detection range than the others, then he will be able to grasp the opportunity and avoid most dangers calmly.
There is still 1 last skill point left, so let's just add it to radar mastery, and the larger the detection range, the better.
But when he wanted to add that last point to Radar Mastery, the system popped up a prompt: the level is insufficient. Level 3 Radar Mastery requires Pilot Level 10 or higher.
I can't add it yet, so forget it, keep this point for backup.
Zenga then left the airport and walked along the same road to the water treatment plant.
There wasn't a single zombie left along the way. The zombies in the passage were all led to the energy room by the sound of gunfire during the previous boss battle, and died cleanly under the boss's Vulcan cannon.
Zenga quickly returned to the factory control room where he had started, and descended the stairs through the door on the other side. On the door of the control room, there was no longer a sound of slapping, and it was estimated that the zombies gathered outside the door had dispersed.
But they probably haven't gone far, and they're still lingering in the water treatment plant. As soon as you go out, you will inevitably encounter a large number of zombies.
There are many obstacles in the factory, the roads are narrow and intricate, and there are a large number of zombies blocking the road, especially if you can't shoot easily, shooting will only attract more zombies. In this case, it is not easy to run from one end of the factory to the other end of the door to the waterway.
But now Zeng Jia has no other choice, not even giving him time to think about it slowly. He had to find Nina as soon as possible, and if he delayed for a second, there would be more unknown variables.
"Well, after you go out, you will definitely be found by zombies near the door. They're slow, though, and I can get rid of them if I run faster. Avoid zombies as much as possible on the road, and shoot only if you can't avoid them. Once surrounded, escape with a motorized jet. But hopefully this time I won't jump into the middle of a horde of zombies again. ”
After being fully mentally prepared, Zeng Jia opened the sealed door, raised his gun and rushed out of the door.
