Chapter VII: Prisons
Looking at the newcomers around him, Kirk also speculated about the intention of choosing people in the space. At heart, Kirk is also a brainy otaku. It's just that too much entertainment in modern society has degraded his thinking function. Now in the face of harsh survival pressure, a seemingly inconspicuous thing may determine whether you live or die in 24 hours. Kirk had to force himself to think more, use his brain more, and dare to be careless.
Judging from the situation of newcomers, the space selection is special. When allocating space for novices, it seems that the characteristics of the plot characters and novices are also considered, the needs of the plot, and even the similarity. Basically, a one-to-one match is based on a "mentor-apprentice" relationship. This should only happen in the Trials of the Beginners plot. With so many novices trying out together, needless to say, the space will definitely release team tasks such as "teamwork", so that everyone can get familiar with the integration as soon as possible and pinch together a team.
When it comes to teamwork, Kirk's idea is to sit on the sidelines and make a fortune in silence. If everyone can be united and profitable, he doesn't mind being a pawn that is used and used by others. If he continues to intrigue and even frame each other, then he will not waste time and energy on these people, and go it alone as soon as possible to strengthen himself.
Kirk continued to observe potential teammates, and the current "captain" Ma Ruiqi is obviously a series of "white bone spirits" (white-collar workers, backbones, and elites) who are like fish in water in the workplace, and his charm value should be very high, and his basic eloquence is good, so he is now mixing well. But Kirk believes that there are also two kinds of "white bone spirits": those who are really capable and those who pretend to be capable, and this woman belongs to the latter. Because she came to power because of her good relationship with the protagonist Rick, but she lacks the big picture, lacks persuasiveness, and lacks real leadership skills. To put it simply, "big-chested and brainless, intrigued" is her portrayal.
I don't know what the role of the newcomer on Governor Philip's side is.
The fat man on one side suddenly said, "Do you know the way? We can die in this scene. ”
"Huh? For what? ”
"Because I saw a novice girl die, she is Amy's apprentice, yesterday afternoon, the walking corpse raided our camp, everyone ran away, Amy pulled her, ran together, was chased by the walking corpse, she was bitten, the plot character abandoned her, died ten meters away from me, I saw her throat ripped open and blood spurted out..." Chubby was a little apprehensive: "I thought this was a fun game, just like a novel, but I knew that I could die, die, and be eaten, so I knew that it wasn't a game, it was a killing game." ”
Kirk felt the same way, he was an otaku 24 hours ago, an air-conditioned house, playing games, watching movies, playing A-movies, and being so beautiful that he was bubbling. Now in this world, it will hurt, it will die, it will be precarious, and it will struggle on the edge of survival.
The car stopped, and Rick's deep voice rang out: "Everyone get out of the car, it's time for a meeting!" ”
Kirk jumped out of the car and drove all the way for more than 5 hours at night, and now it was dawn, and the blood-red sun was about to rise, and it was another bloody day.
The story team and newbies come together. In this convoy, because 82 people in the nursing home were rescued, the team size is now more than 100 people, which is considered a large team. However, there are many old, weak, sick and disabled, and the combat strength that can be used does not exceed 50 people. After last night's fierce fighting, there were not many bullets in their hands. Everyone's expression was solemn.
Rick handed his son Carl to his wife, Laurie, and clapped his hands: "Everybody look here, we're facing a lot of difficulties right now. There are four main difficulties: one is the lack of food and fresh water, the second is the lack of guns and ammunition, the third is the lack of shelter, and the fourth is the ignorance of the surroundings. We need to gather food and gun resources in the morning and then take shelter in the afternoon before sunset. Today's task is heavy, and we need everyone to take action and contribute their part. ”
Then the prompt sound of the space came: "No. 4444 contractor, you have officially joined the protagonist team, to gain a foothold in the team, not by words, but by actions and contributions." Now that you need to complete the branching tasks, select:
"1. Pizza courier. Search for food and fresh water in a nearby 10-kilometer town, and calculate the contribution based on the quantity.
2. Ammunition loader. Search for guns and ammunition at a nearby police station 10 kilometers away and calculate the contribution based on the quantity.
3. Field Engineer. Find a sturdy shelter 10 kilometers away from the neighborhood and clear out potential hazards, calculating the contribution based on performance.
4. Danger Watchman. Establish observation posts in the surrounding heights, eliminate all risk factors, and calculate the contribution based on performance.
Explanation: You're already an official member of the team, and it's time to leave your plot character, Daddy, Mom and Daddy. You will have to complete this mission independently, without any help from the story team. ”
The newcomers are eager to try it, but some of the novice women are embarrassed, they are not very strong, and it is difficult to survive in the wild where the walking dead are everywhere. Fortunately, the space was very thoughtful, and then a task was arranged so that they would not be too embarrassed.
"5. Nursing home nurses. Take care of the elderly and children in nursing homes, meet their requirements, and calculate contributions based on performance. Hint: For Rick, the leader, the nursing home itself is a burden, and he probably won't give you too high a high evaluation of your service. ”
Obviously, this is a comforting task.
Huang Mao and a few other militants naturally chose the "ammunition loader" mission, and seeing them whistle excitedly, Kirk believed that they had the idea of filling their pockets and arming themselves first, but there should be no loopholes in the space.
Ma Ruiqi's woman gathered some novices who were close to her and prepared to do the "field engineer" mission. Listening to her flickering, she is a die-hard American drama fan, knowing the development trend of the plot, the protagonist team should have found an abandoned prison in a valley five kilometers away from the highway, which is very safe. She is now gathering people to complete this task together, which is equivalent to completing the main quest ahead of schedule! The rewards are naturally lucrative. This woman has a lot of motivation and appeal, and she took away most of the novices and ran to find prison.
Naturally, Sally would not obey Ma Ruiqi's command, and she gathered the Japanese pseudo-girl Mori Lanmaru and the Korean novice to do the "pizza courier" task together. The acquaintance also came to persuade Kirk to go on a mission together, and it would be safer for more people. Kirk politely declined.
He chose the "Danger Watcher" mission. For balance, the difficulty and rewards of each mission should be about the same. That being the case, you should be able to get a nice reward for choosing any of the tasks. When there are more people and everyone has interests, the natural contribution value will be diluted. According to Kirk's experience of borrowing guns and setting fire to the rewards of killing the walking dead, this space is highly intelligent, there are no obvious loopholes to exploit, and most of the fresh water that Huang Mao searched for guns and ammunition and Sally searched for food and fresh water could not be swallowed privately, and the particles needed to be returned to the warehouse. Ma Ruiqi's so-called "find the prison in advance and complete the main quest" is even more nonsense! At this time, it is only a branch quest, and it does not raise the height of the main quest. Not to mention that they may not be able to find it, even if they really find the plot prison, the space clearly says that the plot characters will not support, they will die with a few novices and a few broken weapons, and it will never be possible to attack them. You must know that in order to clean up the tide of walking corpses in this prison, many people have died in the plot!
Danger Watcher, one is to do a branch task by himself, and the income is naturally higher if no one grabs it. The second is that it is near the camp, and if you really can't handle it, you can just flee into the camp. It's true that the characters won't support you, but they will have to defend themselves.
Before the newcomers set off, they were all called by the plot characters. Maury stood in front of Kirk and threw down a sentence without care: "Get hard like a man." He patted his ass and left.
Kirk was speechless, there are words in this, is it okay for Lao Tzu to be very hard?
However, Rick took the initiative to find Kirk, "Are you ready?" Rookie. ”
Kirk: "Head, I'm ready. As soon as Rick showed a satisfied look, Kirk immediately hit the snake with his stick: "But now I only have a police pistol, and there is no one else to support..."
Rick: "Okay, I know that rookies are like that, they want to fly far away when they have the chance, but they don't understand the cruelty of the wild, and some people may not be able to come back." We consider that you are the only one to serve as the watchman, so we provide you with the necessary equipment. The mission is done, you have to give it back to me, and you have done a good job. Rick patted Kirk on the shoulder and left.
An old M16 and a telescope were handed over to Kirk. Kirk wasn't too surprised, because Kirk had already obtained the [Firefighter], which automatically gained the favor of Rick, the leader of the human faction, and the charm +2 effect partially made up for his strong 2 charisma shortcoming. In addition, the newcomers are like bandits, swarming out to grab guns, food, and women, and Kirk is the only one left behind to sentry, and it is not surprising that the plot characters arrange to give some temporary weapons and equipment.
However, Kirk also sighed, I am afraid that he will have another big problem. The space is balanced, and the M16 and telescope are naturally given to you to fight and die, and today it seems that there is work to be done.
Kirk first chose to build a post. After observation and consideration, he chose a water tower on a high ground just 200 meters from the motor camp. The 40-metre-high abandoned water tower and the 50-metre-high drop between the highland itself and the car camp add up to the equivalent of a 100-metre stand overlooking the gentle slopes of the plains. With the help of a telescope, Kirk can see every move around 2,000 meters.
At 2,000 meters, it takes at least 15 minutes for the walking corpse to walk during the day, enough for Kirk to give an alarm, attack, and escape into the camp.
However, the plot characters are also poor, which is reflected in the old M16 on the side of the hand. Not to mention the old ones, the 30-round magazine is also equipped with 4, which is really poor. Coupled with the police pistol in his hand, 5 magazines, 60 rounds of ammunition, the resources are limited, so he has to save his use.
On the way to the water tower, there are also some walking corpses wandering in bits and pieces, which is also a rare opportunity for actual combat. Kirk has a dagger in his mouth and a police pistol in both hands. If you find an opportunity to sneak attack, use a dagger. When in danger, shoot the head with a pistol. Kill all the way through.
Kirk has been very patient since he was a child, otherwise he can't always stay in the house, and Diablo can practice to level 99 without cheating. Now is the time for MF leveling, it's empty, no one is robbing the monster, you can kill it. Moreover, as an unknown factor, when you need to retreat in danger, if the walking corpses behind you are not cleaned up and suddenly killed, it will be a lot of delay.
Therefore, it took Kirk 1 hour to clean up more than 30 walking corpses about 500 meters around the water tower, and then wiped the sweat on his head and walked to the water tower with satisfaction.
On the top of the water tower, there are actually two walking corpses, which are supposed to be plumbers in charge of maintenance, trapped on them, and transformed after death. Kirk was a little apprehensive, he needed to climb the ladder up, they wouldn't wait on it to bite him, would they? He is still timid, he is not afraid of the walking corpse if he fights from afar, and he is still afraid if he fights closely.
But now there is no turning back, and he climbs up.
Halfway up the climb, sure enough, the two plumbers smelled the smell of the living and gathered around the ladder and yelled.
Kirk scolded: "I'm rubbing, you two are Mario brothers?" Wearing plumber clothes and climbing ladders everywhere? Do you think I'm here to deliver mushrooms? Look at the guns! ”
He tore off a shirt to protect his eyes from bleeding, then picked up his pistol and fired a dozen shots, emptying a magazine before knocking the hapless Mario brothers to the top of the water tower.
