Chapter 155: Ice and Snow Seal the City
Lin Wu went to the guard tower to observe the terrain for a while, and after exchanging ears with Shana, he went out to arrange firecrackers. After a while, the firecrackers sounded, and the Big Mac chased the sound out of the supermarket and arrived at the main entrance of the supermarket. Lin Wu ignited the second firecracker fuse, and the burning endurance sneaked and walked quickly, and the firecracker detonated and successfully attracted the Big Mac.
Finally, the Big Mac is led to the right of the main entrance of the supermarket base, staying at a distance of 150 meters from the supermarket base. This is the edge of the Birch Park, and there is a small artificial lake half a meter high for playing in the water, with an area of more than 100 square meters. These are not the reasons why Big Mac went to Little Lake. The real reason to go to the Little Lake is that this location is a great shooting spot for the watchtower.
"One shot per person, and if you can't hit the head, you will eat a mouthful of snow."
"Childish." The two of them were already using each other's words, and Shanna said, "You are not allowed to use the Silent One, use AR15." ”
In the game, it is still difficult to hit a watermelon 120 meters away with an assault rifle, because according to the game data, the range of the assault rifle is only 80 meters under the blessing of the quadruple mirror. Targets in the scope beyond 80 meters appear blurred, and the farther away they become. That's why the Timberwolves can only reach a range of 500 meters.
According to White Rabbit, the reason why the virtual range of guns is to avoid the appearance of real battlefields. Real battlefield games are not a great experience for players, and they often die before they even see the enemy.
With the watchtower, the assault rifle has a standard range of 100 meters, and in the scope, the small head of the Big Mac appears with a mosaic, mixed with the body mosaic, which needs to be carefully identified.
So the two of them just played like this, and after eating a dozen mouthfuls of snow each, they both felt that the behavior was too idiotic, and it was a completely zero-sum game. So I decided to play the door of the brain. Eating snow can really make you ice, and you may even catch a cold. Bunging the head will not cause the opponent to be injured.
After the Big Mac was injured, his roar attracted a lot of juniors, so the two began to clear the little brother competition, and whoever killed more in one minute won. After beating the younger brother, the loser went down the watchtower to stab and scream, which was the first time Shanna systematically played screaming. While having fun, he asked, "Is this your daily routine with Maya?" ”
"One of the everyday." Lin Wu said: "Every day, I also go to the cement factory and the bounty hunter hall. But now we can't go out at night, and we can only play during the day. ”
Shanna looked at the sun that was shifting to the west: "Look." ”
The two watched as the gray clouds engulfed the sun, and Shanna said, "The power of nature is more powerful than zombies. ”
As echoing Shanna's words, the system broadcasts: A strong snowstorm is about to sweep through the homeland, and in order to reflect the humanitarian spirit, the homeland will open the shelter. Within three hours, players can teleport from their base to the shelter. You won't die in the shelter, and you won't earn points at the same time.
Players who forgo the shelter will face a variety of survival challenges.
Challenge 1: The temperature in the home will plummet, reaching a minimum of minus 50 degrees, and death will be inevitable without sufficient fuel.
Challenge 2: Barely able to go out during a snowstorm.
Challenge 3: The complete body of the blood plague will continue to expand to the periphery.
Challenge 4: The duration of the blizzard is kept secret.
If the player chooses to stay in the game instead of going to the shelter, they will earn extra points for every 1 hour they survive, and the longer they survive, the higher the points earned per hour.
System broadcast: The three-hour countdown begins. Players won't get frostbite during these three hours, so cherish the last time to either retreat into the shelter or gather supplies as soon as possible to survive the long night.
Shanna said, "There is not enough food. ”
"Let's go, quick."
"Where are you going?"
"You can only venture to the county seat." It was impossible for Lin Wu to go to the shelter.
As he spoke, Nightmare skied into Birch Park, slid to the door and looked up at the two of them, "You guys come with me." ”
Lin Wu and Shanna came down, and Nightmare put a food bag into the warehouse, and said, "Come with me, I still have three food bags hidden." ”
Lin Wu asked, "Where is it hidden?" ”
"The trunk of a car."
Yes! Later, when I saw a suspected scrapped car on the road, I had to search it. As soon as Lin Wu said the nightmare, she understood that she hid food bags and other material bags in the trunk of the car, and drove the car to a remote place, which might smash the car into scrap and use the trunk of the car as a field warehouse.
The food pack was hidden not far from the original base of the nightmare, and it took the three of them an hour to make a round trip. While there was still time, the three of them ventured to Zuo County, intending to raid a small supermarket, but the two blood mist on Road 1 had already come into contact with each other, and the zombies in the blood mist were even more ferocious, and finally gave up the plan.
There was still an hour left to return to the base, and as soon as I entered the base, I heard the half-dead voice of the stone from the radio: "Answer the phone, answer the phone, answer the phone." ”
"Yes." Shanna connects the call.
Stone: "Where have you been, I have been calling you for an hour." ”
Lin Wu: "Go find food." ”
Maya's voice: "How much food is in reserve?" ”
Lin Wu replied: "27 units, enough for the three of us to consume for 9 days." What's going on at the main base? ”
Maya said: "It's not bad, the two farms can't be irrigated in the winter, the food production is halved, and only five pieces of food a day can be provided. At present, there are 28 food reserves and 7 daily consumption. "That's why the barracks were demolished to build farms. However, the second farm lacked a composter, and the lack of chemical skills to make fertilizer, so the second farm produced 4 grains per day, and the first farm produced 6 grains per day.
After winter, 5 foods per day, 7 foods per day, two fewer per day, the main base can support 14 days.
Maya said: "After discussing with Shishi, I think we should go to the sub-base and send you 1 food pack. "Of course, it's not that you starve to death without food, the first day is hunger, the second day is very hungry, and the third day is death. At 8 a.m. on the 1st, he didn't eat anything and went into a state of starvation. On the 2nd, he entered a state of extreme hunger at 8 o'clock. Died at 8 o'clock on the 3rd. It's actually only 48 hours.
Lin Wu said: "Don't worry, if the snowstorm doesn't stop on the last day, I will venture into the sewer with Shana." ”
Maya: "Okay. "Maya wants to go to the sub-base, after all, there is a library there. But she can only carry one food packet, and the supermarket base can't afford to support four people.
Ending the call, the nightmare said, "Don't you think it's a gamble?" Dawn seized on the greedy mentality of humans to bet against the players. It is said to be a gamble, but Dawn is a bookmaker, and it wants the snowstorm to last for a few days. ”
Lin Wu said: "Don't talk about the wind and cold, we are now grasshoppers on a rope." ”
Nightmare disagreed, saying, "I'm not afraid of death, you are afraid of death." ”
Lin Wu was stunned, the nightmare was right, it was true.
Nightmare said, "I suggest you go to the shelter, there is no need to gamble your attributes and skills for this point. ”
"We all go to the shelter, and you survive alone for 27 days?" Lin Wu looked at Shana, Shana nodded firmly, and Lin Wu said, "Everyone is brothers, and we have to die together." ”
Nightmare said, "Then good luck to all of us." ”
Lin Wu said: "Good luck before I ask, do you still have a tailoring skill book?" ”
The nightmare is Shanna's nominal husband, of course, who knows that Shanna is dead, and says: "Yes, yes, the trading condition is to help me do a mission for free in the future." "She has recognized Lin Wu's ability.
Lin Wu asked, "Did you bring it?" ”
Nightmare replied, "Of course not." ”
Lin Wu asked, "Where do you exist?" ”
Nightmare said: "We have our own fortress storage box, and with a few points, we can use the fortress to airdrop the supplies we need. ”
Lin Wu nodded: "Then let's wait until the snowstorm is over, maybe I'm dead, and I can't help you if I want to." ”
Nightmare: "Okay. ”
Lin Wu secretly pondered, there are nearly 100 households near the hilltop church, if the main base works hard, maybe you can get enough materials to make a hacker computer, and then you can go directly to the safe house to get it. The nightmare said that her materials were in the cloud warehouse, and she was going to a cowshed to get the supplies, so this material was definitely not a nightmare.
……
At eight o'clock in the evening, the system broadcast: "A total of more than 128,000 players participated in the blizzard challenge, first of all, the home salutes these players for their courage." I believe that everyone cares about the time when the blizzard ends, and then we will have the first round of voting, and the voting time starts from 3 days, and the number can be infinite. Assuming that more than 40% of players vote for a number, that number is how long the blizzard lasts. Assuming that there is no day in which the first round of voting exceeds 40%, a second round of voting will take place three days later. Thank you all and I wish you all the best. ”
Lin Wu asked, "How many days to choose?" ”
"It doesn't make sense for us to pick a few days." Shana analyzed: "The people who can stay should have more than 3 days of food, so there will not be many people who choose 3 days, but other than 3 days, other numbers have no direction. Most people enter how long their food can sustain. Therefore, it is unlikely that any number will exceed 40% in the first round of voting. ”
Shanna added: "According to the gameplay of Dawn, more than half of the more than 120,000 players will die. Players who are willing to stay and challenge should be considered relatively strong players. This blizzard event will greatly weaken the overall strength of players. If I'm guessing right, Dawn is planning to make some small moves after winter. ”
Lin Wu asked, "What is the purpose?" ”
Shanna shook her head, and the nightmare on one side said, "The purpose is to screen and eliminate." If all players are allowed to survive for two years, how can they distinguish and analyze everyone's personality and abilities? Constantly create disasters and look for people with courage, will, wisdom, and a sense of the big picture. The reason for this is said to have originated from the Blue Star disaster. ”
After immigrating to the Blue Star, humanity did not come together to achieve great harmony. On the contrary, because of various differences such as culture, religion, background, education, etc., they form gangs and factions. Ten years before immigration, although there were not many people, there were two wars for mankind. These two wars deepened the enmity between the various groups, and consciously began to unite through governance, and focused on the development of military power.
In the end, it was the Bastion Corporation that cut off the energy coercion, coupled with the intervention of the Guardians of the Dawn, that made all the groups sit down and established the Blue Star Human Alliance.
"And then?"
Nightmare said: "And then? No then. I'm just a carbon-based creature, how can I possibly know what the AI that has evolved for thousands of years is thinking. If I had developed a game that millions of people would have to play, I wouldn't have let everyone live in peace. ”
Shanna said: "When I was working at the fortress company before, I overheard some rumors that there are zombies on the earth, and there are even many animals that have mutated into terrifying species. Will megacities just be a sanctuary and quarantine zone? In addition to living as immigrants, human beings also need to find ways to improve the ecological environment of the earth? ”
Lin Wu suddenly realized: "So this is a zombie game, at least we all learned to use guns and learn to drive in it." ”
Shanna and Nightmare didn't answer, neither of them knew the specifics. Shanna added some charcoal to the campfire and unfolded the books she had borrowed from the library to read quietly. Lin Wu and Nightmare each thought for a while, but they didn't have a clue, and they also began to flip through the books.
I don't know when Shanna screamed, startling the two of them, Shanna put down the book and said: "Resources, a simple piece of clothing, it needs to be textile, garment-making and other processes." Among them, it is designed to related industries. If Dawn is only for a super city, how to replenish the material consumption? There should be supporting farms, factories, etc. around the city. "Real life is not a game, and objects can't appear out of thin air. It takes 4 years for the transport ship to travel back and forth between Earth and Blue Star, and it is not realistic for Blue Star to replenish supplies.
Lin Wu: "After we go to Earth, even if the points are high, we won't be very rich?" ”
Shanna: "Buy the industry with points and develop the industry on your own." In the beginning, there may only be simple necessities of life, and if you want to drive, you will either need to trade with Blue Star, but it will take years to come and go. Either the earth is industrialized and mature, and the car is started. Many raw materials in the manufacturing industry need to be supplied naturally. Humans need to explore the world outside the city and find resources. ”
The three of them interrupted their conversation again, thinking as they read a book.
……
On the second day of the blizzard, Lin Wu had already begun to feel bored. Climbing from the straight ladder to the rooftop, the oncoming storm risk blew him down, and it took a lot of time to climb to the edge of the watchtower. Due to the fact that it is a system building, the storm stops when you enter the watchtower, and the stairs of the watchtower do not have any snow. Climb to the top of the watchtower and see less than 10 meters of visibility. In just a moment, Lin Wu was already frostbitten. In desperation, Lin Wu could only return to the base.
Zombies are still spawned in the supermarket, but the screaming and roaring in the supermarket does not attract the zombies outside the supermarket, and Shanna speculates that there are no zombies outdoors, or that they are hibernating in the snow. Shanna also went out to test the blizzard, and came back to tell Lin Wu that it was impossible to reach the entrance of the sewer seven hundred meters away safely.
The zombies refreshed in the supermarket base have become the best toys for the three of them to pass the time, and they are reluctant to kill each zombie, prolonging the lives of the zombies with the slightest damage as much as possible.
At first, Lin Wu played, Nightmare and Shanna watched, and after watching for a while, Shanna asked to join, and they shamelessly sealed the zombie's mouth with duct tape, tied the zombie's hands, and then played a boxing game with the zombie. In the end, I couldn't stand the nightmare, so I went on the field to teach two people who can only punch what is straight boxing and what is hook boxing.
Next, Nightmare catches zombies and practices Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Throat Lock, and Lin Wu and Shanna hurt each other during their studies. Although it was boring, a day was finally over, and after dark, I cooked some broth and read a book while drinking. During this period, there were a lot more nightmares, and I began to actively participate in the chat.
