Chapter 16: The Road to Survival: Side Quests
"It's a side quest, so ......," Zhu Xiaowen asked tentatively, "You can't do it, right?" ”
Seth also shook his head: "I also think the same thing, this kind of one-hit killing thing is difficult to kill even if there is enough ammunition, let alone save some use now." ”
Nao nodded in agreement, "Like the two of you, it's the right thing to do to end the game quickly...... Feed! What are you doing! When she saw Lu Yu next to her, she suddenly lost her color.
At this time, Lu Yu was struggling to lift a gas canister, even if he had upgraded to a level and slightly strengthened his physical ability, it was still a rather tiring job. He took a few difficult steps forward, unloading the gas canister next to a few pieces of discarded steel, and only then wiped his sweat and "......".
"Hoo you dead head!" Nao slapped him directly on the back of the head, "What are you putting a gas tank for!" Don't tell me you really want to complete that damn side quest! ”
"Pain...... Why don't you finish it! Lu Yu 'touched' his head and protested: "I haven't tried to complete the side quest yet!" ”
"I said you kid is crazy or what's wrong!" Zhu Xiaowen leaned over with a pale face and said, "It's okay if you're like Seth, people still have points left, and even if you die here, you have a chance to turn the tables." If the three of us die here, we'll all be finished! ”
He pointed to the itch who was sitting on the ground crying in the distance, lowered his voice and said, "You've also played the game, don't you know how terrifying that guy is?" You'll die with a wave of her claws! ”
itch is one of the game's special infected, and one of the strongest - of course, if the player doesn't kill like that, she's no more threatening than another special infector, Tank. The way to appear is usually to sit on the ground and cry, the cry can be heard far away, if you are very close, you can hear a very sad song, only underwear, a pair of bright yellow 'color' eyes and blood-red 'color' claws. But when you can really look directly into those yellow eyes...... You're probably not far from death.
"It's not death, it's just falling to the ground."
Lu Yu's eyes lit up and said: "According to the setting of the original game, itch is only a one-hit kill on expert difficulty, and other difficulties are one-hit knockdowns. I just tested it during the 'wave' of infected raids, and judging by the damage they do per attack, we should be in normal mode, or advanced mode at most. That way, even if I get knocked out by the itch, as long as I can kill her, I still have a chance to heal myself with a first aid kit. Besides, I have every hope that I will not be hit by her completely. ”
"What are you going to do?" Nao sighed, she looked at Lu Yu with the eyes like she was looking at a dead person.
"I've thought it all through." Lu Yu wrenched his fingers: "Generally speaking, there are about three ways to kill an itch in the game: first, throw an incendiary bomb, and then race against her, and if you can't win, you will die." ”
Nao snorted, "You're sure you won't be able to escape, what's next." ”
Lu Yu raised the weapon in his hand: "The second method is very simple and rude, that is, run to a very close distance and directly use a heavy fire weapon like a shotgun to shoot her head in the head. ”
Zhu Xiaowen looked at the itch in the distance, and trembled: "I have to fight again when I get close, I definitely can't get close." ”
"Then there's only a third way." Lu Yu shrugged, "This is also my favorite one when I hold a sniper rifle, the first shot is still a headshot, knock her into a hard straight state, and then quickly push her away, shoot, push her away again, shoot, and so on, as long as the distance is enough, you can ravage the itch to death." ”
Lu Yu said triumphantly: "Regarding this, I also tested it just now, and pushing hard can produce a hard straight shot that is similar to the bullet on a shotgun, even if the itch will be stronger than the average infected, considering safety factors, I can use a pistol to hit." Although the power is small, as long as there are no other enemies to disrupt the situation, she can still be worn to death sooner or later. ”
"When you were beaten by so many infected people just now, did you still have the heart to do experiments...... Zhu Xiaowen muttered, "How do you have a brain." ”
"No, wait." "The third method you just mentioned seems to work, but there's one biggest problem: there are no sniper rifles here, and your shotgun is clearly not good for long-range 'shooting'. Let me make sure, if you want to make an itch hitstun, you have to hit the head. ”
"No, wait, I kind of get it."
Seth, who had been silent just now, suddenly spoke: "That's what the special 'door' moved the gas canister here, right?" ”
"Clever." Lu Yu smiled, "The gas canister explodes when it is hit, and the impact it produces when it explodes is enough to make the itch produce the same stun as when it was headshot." ”
"Looks like you've figured it all out." Nao sighed, "Why don't you choose the safer way?" While there is still ammunition 'medicine', wouldn't it be better to rush into the safety 'door' and turn it off. And you don't have any survival points anymore! If you die, it's all over! You have to have a limit to your unbelief in evil! ”
She tried to get her words out slowly at first, but then she was almost always ranting. The sound was so loud that the itch in the distance seemed to react a little.
"What does it mean to choose a safer method?" Lu Yu said, "I have, what I am doing now is the safest way in the long run." ”
"Fart! You don't understand anything! ”
"How much do you know?" Lu Yu shouted with a calm face, "Just rushed into the safety 'door' in a daze and closed it in one go, while congratulating myself on the fact that I escaped death again, while waiting for a few days to repeat it again?" So where is it safe! ”
"What's the use of what you're doing now!" Nao didn't budge, "I really don't see any use in this matter other than putting yourself in danger." Are there rewards for side quests? Even if the prize is an atomic bomb, you have to have a life to get it! ”
She stood in front of Lu Yu with her waist crossed: "In short, I will never agree with you to do such a dangerous thing!" ”
The two glared at each other fiercely for a while, and finally Lu Yu gave in first. "Well, since you're so determined, let's just vote." He reluctantly said, "One vote for, one vote against." What about the opinions of both of you? He turned to Seth and Zhu Xiaowen.
The two glanced at each other and shook their heads at each other in tacit understanding. But just when everyone's attention was focused on voting, Lu Yu suddenly rushed out and ran at full speed towards the itch in the distance.
"Bastard!" Nao scolded, stretched out her hand to pull it but didn't hold it, and hurriedly picked up her gun and rushed over. But I saw that Lu Yu rushed to half the distance and suddenly stopped his steps, it turned out that itch had been alarmed by the sound of him rushing over, and stood up while looking at Lu Yu.
But seeing that Lu Yu was not in a hurry, he picked up the shotgun and aimed it at the head. Mid-range wasn't his forte, and while most of the blow landed on Itch, it didn't get the headshot he needed most.
"Tsk! Shotguns really don't work. ”
"It's your own bad marksmanship!"
Seeing that Itch had already pounced, Nao quickly pulled the trigger, and dozens of bullets were suddenly finished in a few seconds, finally slowing down Itch's speed a little. Taking advantage of this gap, the two of them ran back to the street with rolling and crawling. There were still teammates there, and although the firepower wasn't great, at least it was a little better than facing Itch alone.
Seth sighed as soon as he saw Lu Yu.
"Brother Yu, I've obeyed you, it's the first time I've seen such a desperate person."
"Xiaowen, that kid ran away, right! If you have survival points left, you can show that you have the guts, right? Don't hurry up and help! Lu Yu turned around and took out his gun to aim, while still having broken thoughts in his mouth.
Nao next to him had already put on a new magazine and continued to 'shoot', and he didn't forget to reach out and hit him on the back of the head in a hurry: "Less wordy!" Here she comes! ”
"Don't hit the head." Lu Yu complained dissatisfiedly and closed one eye to aim. At this time, he had changed to a pistol, although the power was far from that of a shotgun, but his target at this time was not an itch, but a gas canister set up on the ground, and the pistol would be at least better than the shotgun in terms of 'precision' accuracy at medium range.
But for Lu Yu, it makes no difference what it uses.
He fired three shots in a row, but he didn't hit a single shot, and only 'stirred' up a little dust on the ground. Seeing that the itch was about to run out of the explosion range of the gas canister, Lu Yu almost wanted to change back to the shotgun and try to make a last stand with heavy firepower.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, debris splashed everywhere, and the gas 'wave' of the explosion made Seth and Nao, who were not far away, subconsciously block it. But Lu Yu resisted the instinct of closing his eyes, and stared at the figure in the smoke of the explosion with his eyes wide open. Seeing her stumble and shake back, Lu Yu clenched his fists, knowing that the opportunity had come.
"Brother Yu, I can only help you get here!"
Zhu Xiaowen shouted from behind. At this time, he was lying on the roof of a large truck, leaning on his elbows to prop up his upper body, squinting one eye and aiming. The Uzi submachine gun, which was originally at a medium and short range, was used as a sniper rifle in his hand, and he actually hit it with one hit, which made a miraculous achievement.
"Thanks!"
Lu Yu shouted, didn't look back, jumped up and threw himself at the itch not far away. He knew in his heart that even if the plan went through, there was only a 50% chance that he would be able to reach Itch and make his first push before the hitstun was over.
50%?
"It's very high!" Lu Yuhao smiled and pushed it out with one palm.
