It was already five o'clock in the evening to clear the zombies near the office building. Before the change, more than 20 minutes was someone fishing. Maya faced the sun, stretched out her finger and looked at it for a while, and said, "There is still an hour and a half of sunset." ”

Lin Wu felt the novelty and leaned over: "Why?" ”

Maya taught: "Stretch your hand straight and place your finger between the sun and the horizon or horizon, one finger representing half an hour." ”

Lin Wu tried and asked, "How big is the error?" ”

Maya said: "About 15%." ”

As he spoke, the system broadcast a message: Special reminder, please pay attention to the converted light value per square meter of the base command post Candela, please refer to the game manual for details.

The maximum value of the light is 100 points, and the maximum value can be reached in the presence of the sun. Bases with electricity usually have nighttime scores between 60-80 points. Most light values don't matter. The only thing that has a significant impact is the light value of 10 o'clock or less, which is also known as a shimmer night.

The light value below 10 o'clock is equivalent to a field scene with no lights, no moon, and a sky full of stars. During this phase, the Daredevil will appear, specifically attacking players in the dark. How do you count it with a flashlight? The Daredevil will avoid flashlights. If you can go out with a lamp, the Daredevil won't attack you.

There are two main objects for this setting, one is a player who goes out at night, and the other is a base with no lights. If there is no electricity, it must be ignited. Of course, Lin Wu had to complain, and the little white rabbit's explanation was that the danger at night was in line with common sense.

If you want to say that Lin Wu doesn't want to face the animal the most, it must be the black bear. If you want to say that Lin Wu doesn't want to fight against the zombies the most, it has to be the night demon. It's fast, aggressive, blends in with the night, and has the highest IQ among zombies.

Previously, I encountered the Daredevil in Sewer 99, and they all hid in the Lightless Land to sneak attack passing players. Theoretically, it can't be said wrong for Dawn to unleash the Daredevil on the Night of Shimmer. But releasing such a powerful zombie obviously wants to give hardcore players a dismount.

Lin Wu remembered what Maya said: The future will get worse and worse. Lin Wu had only read one layer of meaning before, but now that he thinks about it, because there are too many people who are good at mixing, Shuguang released the hardcore mode to test and assess hardcore players again.

To give an inappropriate example, Lin Wu originally thought that as long as everyone scored 90 points in the exam, they could go to high school. Now Lin Wu knows that it doesn't matter how many points he scores, what matters is how many points others take and what his ranking is. Even if a hundred Einsteins take the exam, a certain percentage of Einsteins must be eliminated.

Of course, Lin Wu believes that Dawn will give players a chance to survive and will provide a certain margin for error, but if the number of eliminated players does not meet Dawn's psychological expectations, Dawn may increase the difficulty again.

Unexpectedly, Maya objected to Lin Wu's idea, she felt that Lin Wu was thinking too much, and she thought that the dawn had already set the difficulty and would not change it again. Proof of this was that she noticed the updated light values, and that Aurora had placed a corresponding number of light meters at the command post according to the number of members of the base. Therefore, it was not a momentary decision to release the Night Demon, but a decision to do so a long time ago.

Maya's opinion was confirmed by the system's subsequent broadcast, which stated that since today was the first Shimmer night, all players would be reminded in particular. Visibility in the wild is around 5 o'clock, so please stay safe.

The remaining Dashuang went to the command post to check and explained that the command post could see the light value of the base, including the safety zone. At least 60 or more in all areas of the base. The maximum ray value is 95. When the sun enters the clouds, the maximum ray value becomes 70.

Peanut said in the channel: "Don't worry, we have street lights in this area." ”

Lin Wu disagreed: "There are a lot of dead ends. "I have fought against the night demon many times, although Lin Wu has a crushing record, but the process is not glorious. Either use the reflection of sunlight to kill the night demon during the day, or a small crooked reminder.

Maya agreed: "On the night of the glimmer, you are not allowed to go out unless necessary." Did you find a clue? ”

Cotton: "Here I am." ”

This office has long been digitally managed, and because there is no power supply, it is impossible to turn on the computer. In addition, the computer is called a damaged computer, and it is estimated that it will not be able to turn on even if there is electricity. If you want to know the location of the 307 warehouse, you can only look for paper documents.

Everyone went to the office where Cotton was in charge of the search, and there were dozens of open file bags on the desk. Cotton hands the obtained drawings to Maya. Maya unfolded the map and found that this warehouse area had been renovated many times in the later period, and some of the warehouse numbers were traceable, and some of the warehouse numbers were just numbers.

To the east of the warehouse there is a small pier with a simple platform that extends about ten meters to the sea. But such a simple platform can allow multiple small vessels to dock. The function of the wharf is naturally to transport supplies by sea or the Zuoxian River, using small boats.

The warehouse area is lined with warehouses along the eastern coast, which are independent buildings and are not alongside other warehouses. Warehouse 307 is located closest to the small dock and is the most convenient warehouse for water transportation. I think it was because of this feature that it was requisitioned by the anti-virus command.

The difficulty is that Lin Wu and the others entered in the north, at least 300 meters away from the 307 warehouse, and they had to cross half of the warehouse area. The zombie density on this road is very high, relying on two assassins and repeaters to advance, I don't know how many hours it takes. And once the corpse tide is triggered, it will likely be surrounded, and there will be no escape, and there will be no way back.

Maya said: "Use the rubber duck to swim through the waterway to the dock. "The big rubber duck is now under the western fence of the base, and when it is finished, it will be thrown here as garbage.

Maya collects the drawings: "Bring some more materials to see at night, our recent activities are in this warehouse area." ”

Lin Wu said regretfully: "It's a pity that I don't have any intelligence and can't help you." But I know the big double point. ”

Maya looked at Lin Wu speechlessly. Speechlessness is like a pressure cooker, when it accumulates to a certain level of speechlessness, it will shoot and beat it violently. Then it continues to accumulate, and it continues to pound, and it loops indefinitely.

Lin Wu smiled and went back to the office he was in charge of to collect information. People don't expect to be able to help with the information.

The big bag and the small bag carried the information back to the base. Maya organizes the information and annotates it on the drawings based on the information. The warehouse is office supplies, and the warehouse has a batch of fruits, etc.

Dinner is tortellini, everyone is full of praise, this is a must, otherwise what to do with the cotton pick? During dinner, Lin Wu sniffed on the shoulder of the peanut, and it didn't seem to have any taste, so he shouldn't have any taste either. Of course, the clothes are dirty, after all, I have run many laps with the cement.

Three girls can swim in the river and do their laundry, and boys can swim together, but they can do the laundry together. Lin Wu's idea was to sprinkle laundry detergent on his body and swim around, so that the clothes should be clean. Then use your body temperature of up to 37 degrees Celsius to dry your clothes directly, and everything is OK.

Peanut had more ideas, and he thought he should ask Shanna for a few more basic clothes. Wash once a week, soak your clothes in a bucket, pour laundry detergent, step on them a few times, and soak them for another night. The next day, take it to the river and rinse the laundry detergent. However, there is only one set of clothes for the time being, and that can only be to accept Lin Wu's proposal.

After dinner, the sun had set, and everyone thanked the chef for the cotton, and Dashuang took the initiative to clean the dishes and chopsticks. Lin Wu and Peanut were about to go out to the river, but as soon as they arrived on the first floor, they were stopped by Maya on the second floor: "The cozy cottage needs help." ”

After Lin Wu joined Maya's team, he saw the team's quest information: Save the Warm Cabin.

The cause was that Huts A and B met a wolf while they were out and killed a wolf cub, and the she-wolf fled. When HutC found out, he thought that the wolves would launch a retaliatory attack on the Cozy Cottage tonight, and the strength of the three weak women was powerless to resist, so he turned to the Doomsday Fortress for help.

The mission did not specify the size of the wolf pack, nor did it specify the time of the mission, so Maya asked the pair to stay behind while the others went with her to the cozy hut.

Maya got into the driver's seat of the light pickup truck, started the car and said to Lin Wu: "If the oil is not enough, you go and get a barrel of oil." ”

Lin Wu stretched out his head and looked: "That's enough." ”

Maya, you're not a driver, you can see it? Lin Wu reluctantly got out of the car, and trotted all the way to take a barrel of oil to refill the car. After driving, Maya explained: "Tonight is a glimmer night, and it will be a big trouble if the road breaks down in the middle of the road." ”

Lin Wu said: "Shuguang wants you to anchor, and you can throw it when you have enough oil." ”

Peanut disagreed: "The car was not updated. "It's the end of renewing a car, and few people really know how to fix cars.

Lin Wu said: "Go to the Shadow tomorrow and pull the motorcycle over." "It's fuel-efficient.

"There are motorcycles in warehouse 200, and it is not clear what the situation is." Most of the vehicles and locomotives are scrapped and cannot be repaired. Maya said, "I'm more worried about the size of the wolf pack. ”

Lin Wu said: "I have an idea about this. ”

……

By the time we arrived at the cosy cottage, it was already completely dark. Torches were attached to the pillars around the hut. This torch is not an ordinary torch, it is a high-grade torch that can burn for a night. However, the lighting capacity is not strong, and it is expensive. There are living rooms and two rooms on the first floor, and candles in both rooms on the second floor.

A minute later, a pickup truck pulls up to the side of the road, and Knife, Snow Egg, Shanna, and Horse Soul join the mission as reinforcements.

Dawn: Lin someone, you TM cheating.

That's right, that's what Lin Wu thinks. If a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, why don't you use reinforcements if you have them? Is it fair for four men to fight eight wolves? Eight wolves have 24 more legs than four.

I haven't seen you for a day, and Xiaodao is very kind to everyone. However, Maya was serious, the cotton was not ripe, and the peanuts were too oily, so she could only be cordial with Lin Wu, and took out a handful of candy from her pocket: "I brought it to you." ”

"Knife, you're the best." Lin Wu took it and sent one to the cotton beside him, and the cotton took it without saying a word. Lin Wu was left in his pocket.

Shanna and the vigilant Maya learned about the situation, and the others chatted with Peanut and Lin Wu. Several NPCs were in charge of acting, hiding on the second floor shivering. Because of entering hardcore mode, many things have changed, and there are many topics. When we were chatting, a wolf howled, and the wolves appeared.

With the roar of the head wolf, 20 wolves launched an attack on the cozy hut. Under the first round of crossbow arrows, 5 wolves fell in a pool of blood. But the remaining 15 wolves were undaunted and continued to run, their eyes red and fierce. A second round of crossbow bolts hit, and 6 more companions fell to the ground. But they did not look at the corpses of their companions and kept going, because the enemy was in sight.

They were greeted with machetes and sticks, and the brave wolves were all killed in 30 seconds, their deaths were not worthless, and their corpses were soon exchanged for the screams of the enemy: "XXX, the dawn of death." ”

Dawn said that you can peel the skin, you can take the meat. But Shuguang didn't say what kind of skin could be peeled, and after peeling the skin, it was found that the skin with holes on the body was broken fur after being peeled out, and it could only be sent to the production room to be processed into rags. There is not much meat either, and each wolf only cuts out half a kilogram of meat.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the head wolf was killed by Lin Wu, it only has a wound on its head, and it is the only one who has dedicated a whole piece of fur. Before Lin Wu's hand was hot, it was taken away by Shana: "I can finally make a real pair of shoes." ”

Lin Wu was dissatisfied: "Hey." ”

Shanna turned around: "Are you useful?" ”

"Nope."

"Huh." Shanna smiled and left, making Lin Wu speechless is success.

20 wolves, 7 kg of meat. At first, everyone helped cut the meat, and then found that something was wrong, and remembered that there were players nearby, and the corpse would not be refreshed, so he threw all the work to Lin Wu. Lin Wu could only kneel down on one knee in front of each wolf according to the requirements of the system, watching the progress bar go to the end, as if he was affectionately worshiping each dead wolf.

The mission is complete, the relationship between the Doomsday Fortress and the Cozy Cottage rises to 60 points, and Maya calls up the executable order: Hire a housekeeper.

After receiving a week's salary, the housekeeper will stay in the Doom Bastion for a week and return to the cozy cabin. If necessary, you can go to the cozy cottage to hire. Housekeeping NPCs don't have to eat, they don't have to sleep, and when zombies get close, she will find a corner to hide, and if she dies, the relationship between the two bases will be reduced.

I am responsible for the three tasks of housekeeping: cleaning of the base, laundry and cooking. Simply hire NPCs as unconditionally obedient nannies, and explain any needs to the other party. The three jobs correspond to three NPCs, each with their own strengths. Hire NPCs who are good at cooking, and the food will be delicious, and vice versa. If there is no kitchen at the base, cooking utensils and wood must be prepared for her.

Hire NPCs who are good at laundry, and the clothes will be washed cleanly and ironed carefully. Ask for laundry tools such as washboards, laundry detergent, disinfectant, etc. Without tools, both efficiency and results will be reduced.

Hiring NPCs who are good at cleaning can keep the entire base spotless and effectively stop mosquito breeding.

The employment fee is quite expensive, and we are currently in a friendly relationship, and the other party charges 100% without any discount, and asks for 20 kilograms of edible meat per week.

To hire or not to hire? Lin Wu thinks that it must be hired, and there are still 15 kilograms of meat in the Doom Fortress, plus 7 kilograms just harvested, it can be hired for a week. You can fish and hunt in your spare time next week.

Maya's heart is dripping blood, do you know what 20 kilograms of meat is? No, they know, but they want to hire. Maya sighed, "I'll go back and get the meat." Cotton, come with me. ”

Shanna led the team to leave: "Let's go back and see if there are any NPC quests." ”

The two cars left, leaving behind Lin Wu and Peanuts. When the headlights were gone, the world went dark. The two of them glanced at the light value, and there was a brightness of 15 near the torch, so there was no problem with safety. Fortress of Doom is also not idle, discussing which NPC should be hired in the channel.
