Dock Road and Route 99 After the game entered the hardcore, there were so few zombies that they were almost negligible. But there will always be surprises. Lin Wu is a new driver with only 1,000 kilometers of driving experience at Bluestar, so he is fully focused when driving. Therefore, he successfully avoided the explosion of sleeping in the middle of the road. Parked, Lin Wu got out of the car with a pistol, walked in front of the explosion, shot it in the head, walked back, and drove away.

Due to the greatly reduced revenue from the mall, the Shadowmen have lost their motivation to work. Lin Wu arrived at the sawmill, and the Shadows were eating breakfast. They are claypot porridge and black pepper pasta. Lin Wu looked at breakfast for a while and finally gave up, judging from the surface, the craftsmanship of cotton is no worse than that of a horse soul.

Lin Wu sat down in the backyard conference room and flew a drone to search for the businessman's traces. Shi took the claypot porridge and sat beside Lin Wu, and said, "Don't be so careful, you can't afford to buy it if you find it." ”

Lin Wu said: "But Maya seems to be in a hurry. ”

Stone replied: "After all, they are young people, and they are willing to give 100% effort for the 1% probability." ”

Lin Wu: "If there's a fart, let it go." ”

The stone was not angry and said, "I want to ask you a personal question." ”

Lin Wu: "I like Xiao Crooked. "The little crooked roll on the conference table, wagging his tail, seems to be very useful. In fact, it is a normal reaction to be called by name.

Stone smiled and asked, "Did you have any contact with Starlight?" ”

"Starlight?" Lin Wu asked.

"After I came back last night, Starlight came to me and said that I wanted to go to the Doomsday Fortress. I know Starlight better, and she usually does everything with a purpose. You know, Starlight and Sunshine are my juniors after all, calling me uncle. If there's something between you, I'm not going to stop it, right? But I don't think she's a good fit for you. ”

Lin Wu: "It has nothing to do with me. ”

Stone asked, "What's the reason for that?" ”

Lin Wu: "You ask her yourself." ”

Shi said: "She said that she thinks Maya is very thoughtful and wants to be close to Maya. ”

Lin Wu: "Where did Maya's thoughts come from?" No, I mean, Maya doesn't have much to talk to except work. ”

Stone: "yes, I think she lied, too. So I've got to get rid of the biggest mines. If you look at the women of the apocalypse, Maya doesn't like to chat. Dashuang is very obedient and more suitable to be a listener. Cotton can't beat a fart with a stick. A few women on this side of the sawmill will get together and chatter every day. So I think she should have some important reason. ”

Lin Wu said: "You are too careful, people just want to take a bath and wash clothes." Don't? ”

"Really?"

Lin Wu said: "Could it be that Rizhao has not left the hardcore mode at all, leaving Starlight to prepare for the internal and external cooperation to steal the Doomsday Fortress?" You know, Fortress of Doom is a personal system, and when Starlight joins Fortress of Doom, she can pull all of her own people into the base. ”

Stone: "I admire your brains, but let's not talk about them yet. Are you sure you're okay with Starlight? ”

Lin Wu pondered for a moment: "It is not ruled out that Starlight hates my sister-in-law Huo Wu, and in order to take revenge on Rizhao, she will stick to me upside down." ”

"Okay, you can die." Shi stood up with satisfaction and picked up the claypot porridge: "I'll talk to Maya and build another medical room." ”

Lin Wu looked at the stone: "When it comes to building another medical room, it seems that there is really a problem. Starlight doesn't change bases without purpose. Am I really that handsome? ”

"Haha."

Lin Wu looked at Xiao Crooked: "Am I handsome?" Nod. ”

Xiao Wei nodded, Lin Wu was very satisfied, and continued to search.

After the stone left, Shanna came: "How is it?" ”

"I didn't find it."

Shanna said: "This is the picture I made, and I have set up five search points. With your drone's range, there are many overlapping parts, and you search in a planned order and don't waste time searching an area repeatedly. ”

Lin Wu looked at the picture: "Sister, the top view and the floor plan are completely different things. ”

Shanna was about to explain patiently, but Lin Wu said, "Found people...... It's a nightmare, she's hunting. It turned out that she was going to eat too. Ha ha...... Silly X, ambushing prey at the upwind outlet, what does she think? …… Oh, she's ambushing NPCs. ”

Shanna's fist had already been raised, but when she heard the NPC, she immediately put it down and asked, "Is it the Fortress Merchant?" ”

"No, it's two armed NPCs of the Alliance in camouflage uniforms."

Shanna said, "It's none of our business. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, maybe you can fight back?"

It's a pity that there was no counter-killing, Nightmare's ambush successfully eliminated the two NPCs, Nightmare walked to the NPC's side and began to touch the corpse, Lin Wu said disdainfully: "Even the dead will not be spared." ”

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business."

"Wait." Lin Wu said: "She got a rolled-up piece of paper, which seemed to be a map. She got into the car, got off Highway 99 from the next road, and drove towards Zuoxian Bridge. ”

This road is full of zombies, and the car explodes after driving a few kilometers. Nightmare got out of the car early and fled the car. The sound of a car explosion helped her get out. Nightmare hides quietly after killing a few zombies. About ten minutes later, Nightmare returned to the car and shot the zombies that had not dispersed one by one.

Lin Wu likes the gun in Nightmare's hand, and if he guessed correctly, he should be a silent person with a hairstyle.

Nightmare took out a repair kit, repaired the car, and continued in the direction of Zuoxian Bridge.

Lin Wu said: "So hard? What will it be? ”

Shanna looked at the sky with her cheeks on the side: "Just keep talking." ”

Lin Wu: "It's out of range." ”

Shanna: "It's okay, use your brain hole to keep following." ”

Lin Wu: "Oh, merchant? I don't know if it's a fortress merchant. ”

Shanna sat down immediately: "Really? ”

"I don't know, it's about 6 kilometers away, at the west bridgehead of Qiaoshui in Zuoxian County." Lin Wu said: "Nightmare drove left, used the same method to get out, left the car, and moved to a few tattered wooden boxes containing fruit 30 meters away from the bridge. From time to time, the outcropping gun is aimed at the merchant. The merchant sat on the curb of the sidewalk at the head of the bridge, with a large backpack in front of him. ”

The zombies turn a blind eye to the merchants, and the merchants also turn a blind eye to the zombies, and the two sides get along amicably. For a while, Lin Wu felt that this was a zombie businessman, and his patron was zombies. Of course, Lin Wu has to complain about this, and he is idle anyway. White Rabbit's explanation was that the merchant had taken a super-masking drug. Lin Wu asked about the details of the special masking medicine. The White Rabbit told him not to meddle in his affairs. Of course, the little white rabbit's original words were not like this, but in Lin Wu's understanding, it seemed that this was the meaning.

Twenty minutes later, a pickup truck drove from Shuidong. The car crashed into the zombies all the way to Lin Wu was dumbfounded, and when he was about to complain again, he finally knew the trick. It turned out that the pickup truck hit the zombie with the door, not the front of the car. When a car passes by a zombie, the co-driver or driver opens the door, and the door can directly knock the zombie into the air or even kill it.

The car drove near the bridgehead, and three Alliance NPCs got out of the car and went on a killing spree with silenced assault rifles. After dealing with the surrounding zombies, they were the first to point their guns at the merchants, and they cursed and said something. An NPC reaches out and grabs the Merchant's backpack, and the Merchant reaches out to fight him.

At this time, the nightmare moves, and the gun is fired in succession, shooting an NPC to the head. The other two NPCs are very alert, finding cover on the left and right, and the two sides start firing at each other 30 meters apart. A grenade is thrown near the nightmare, and the explosion attracts the surrounding zombies to besiege the nightmare. The nightmare swam to the side of the bunker and circled to the back of the house towards the bridge.

After advancing for about 10 meters, Nightmare hides behind a scrapped pickup truck, and the two NPCs keep changing positions and shooting in the direction of the truck, suppressing Nightmare's actions.

Nightmare reaches for a monitor and attaches it to the front of the car, and the camera is pointed in the direction of the NPC. She walked from the front to the back of the car herself, crouched down on the tires and looked at the screen on the ground, seizing the moment to show up and kill an NPC. With the help of the monitor, she quickly took down another NPC.

The Nightmare Cat Waist crossed the open space to the bridge, and while watching around vigilantly, he touched the corpse. After she got the rifle, she removed some of the accessories and bullets from the rifle and threw the body of the rifle into the Zuoxian River.

When it was over, the nightmare crouched beside the merchants, not knowing what they said and what they traded. The nightmare left about a minute later, leaving with a half-pair of glasses and an unknown thing. This thing doesn't have much to do with glasses, it's more like a headphone that can be hung on the top of your head or in both ears. At its core, a piece of clear glass hangs down the nightmare's left eye. Nightmare pushes the finger upwards to put away the glass piece, and down to put the glass piece down.

It looks very cool, and Lin Wu is quite greedy.

From Maya's mouth, it is known that this is a squad tactical system. The so-called glass sheet is a display. The display is connected to special equipment such as radar, thermal sensor, monitor, etc. Nightmares can see images and messages sent by the device through the monitor, and know what is going on between you and your enemies.

Maya and Shanna connected and basically determined that the NPC merchant at the bridgehead was the wandering merchant they were looking for. Maya had planned to contact Nightmare and seek Nightmare's help, but Nightmare did not return to the temporary base, and she was unable to contact Nightmare.

Nightmares can use repair kits to blow up the car all the way, and by burning bullets, they can force their way to the merchant. Shadow certainly has the resources to send the player to the bridgehead in a similar way. But Nightmare knows how much he is earning, and Shadow needs to gamble on the very low probability of profit. Therefore, they are unlikely to adopt the nightmare method.

……

Lin Wu drove Maya to the sawmill, and the two deputy commanders took the system map and the self-drawn map to the conference table for a meeting. They need to find a safe route to the bridgehead that doesn't require too many resources. Shadow's advantage lies in time, judging from the details of Lin Wu's complaint and drone observations, the fortress merchant will not leave the bridgehead for a short time, and will most likely stay at the bridgehead for 12 hours.

"The closest way to the sewer is to get here, a two-kilometre walk to the bridge. Walking two kilometers in the city is too difficult and dangerous. ”

Shana: "We can get here by the sewer, down the Zuoxian River, and then come ashore near the bridge. ”

Maya: "How did you get back?" ”

Shanna said: "Drive the armored car over? It is 6 kilometers in a straight line, 8 kilometers in a distance, 16 kilometers in a round trip, and the fuel consumption is about 10 liters. ”

Maya: "It's not a problem with the oil, it's that there's no safe area to park nearby. As soon as you park, zombies will swarm around, and if there is a blast in the area, everyone will be suffocated in the armored car. ”

Shanna said: "Drive to the front of the wholesale fruit market, everyone gets out of the car and clears the zombies. ”

Maya: "It takes a lot of bullets. On the contrary, it is not as good as the nightmare tactic, using ordinary car explosions to attract most of the zombies. ”

"So our main difficulty is the problem between cost and profit. ”

Maya said, "That's right. In normal thinking, one or two hundred honor points cannot be exchanged for anything good. However, we have never traded with the Fort Merchant, and we don't know the price of the items he sells, so we can't rule out the possibility that some of the goods are cheaper. What's more, many items are only sold by the Fort Merchant, and we need to know the information about what he sells so that we can trade them next time. Otherwise, the next time the Fortress Merchant appears, we will still know the details of the transaction. ”

The orthodox leader stone was like an invisible person, sitting next to listen to the two deputy commanders studying countermeasures, seeing that the two deputy commanders were embarrassed, he said generously: "If it should be wasted, it will be wasted." ”

Maya said: "Judging from the intensity of the forest fog drone reconnaissance, it will probably take more than a hundred rounds of ammunition to open a safe area. And you must use guns, cold weapons can't block the impact of zombies. ”

Shi felt a pain in his heart and asked, "What about driving an ordinary car?" ”

Maya said, "We only have three repair kits left. Although it is also possible to make repair kits in the workshop, the basic resources are becoming less and less, and the cost of making repair kits is getting higher and higher. ”

Stone: "What about the shelling?" ”

Maya said: "The shelling point and the armored vehicle are too far away, and the effect of attracting the enemy is not good, and it may cause road blockages. If the shelling point is too close to the armored vehicle, it may blow the armored vehicle away. ”

Stone: "Lin Wu, come here." ”

Shi Yitong explained, and asked, "Do you have any new ideas?" ”

After hearing this, Lin Wu said, "What can I do?" You can't throw people over, can you? ”

Shanna's eyes lit up: "Yes, the armored car does not stop." People jumped out of the car as the vehicle passed by the wholesale fruit market. The armored car turns in circles, and the people on board throw a mine, attracting zombies with the sound of explosions. Reduce the threat to people who jump out of the car. The armored car drove here, using the straight-line acceleration to quickly reach the bridgehead, buying time for everyone to get back to the car. ”

Maya said: "The armored car is fast, and it is dangerous to jump out of the car. The armored car is slow, and the jumpers will be entangled by the pursuing zombies. I can give it a try, though. I have the worst life skills and the least cost of death. ”

Lin Wu reminded: "Your swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world. ”

Shi said: "It's a pity that Xuedan has just learned the infrastructure, can he wait until the peanut is resurrected?" ”

Shanna calculates the time: "Peanut died at 8:20 last night, and the merchant appeared at 8 a.m. Theoretically, it's 20 minutes. However, after the peanut is resurrected, it will take time to return to the base, and it will take time to drive there. ”

Maya said: "Either let one person take the risk, or let go of at least 4 gunmen." ”

Shanna said: "If you choose the former, the agility must be high enough, and the danger of jumping out of the car will be lower. ”

The three commanders looked at Lin Wu together, and Lin Wu didn't care: "No problem." ”

"Nope." Shanna vetoed the proposal: "If he dies, the crooked little crook will be gone." ”

Maya and Shi both felt that it made sense, and Lin Wu was dissatisfied: "I myself have many advantages. ”

"Got it." Maya replied to Lin Wu and continued: "One last method: masking medicine, that is, corpse smell masking agent. Stop and release people, and all the people who get out of the car take masking medicine, keep the armored car mobile, and return to the bridgehead to pick up people at any time. ”

Shanna said, "There is no storage. ”

Maya said: "Brush and do it." ”
