As he spoke, a creature walked out of the villa next to the jeep, and after being identified, Lin Ma was startled, and it turned out to be a human NPC. He wore a black training uniform with the fortress emblem on his chest and a long gray cape. He stood beside the zombie, turned around to make sure his iron door was closed, pulled the door and got into the car, and drove away.

I have to complain again.

To this question, the White Rabbit's answer was: "Please explore by yourself." ”

Faced with the white rabbit's affirmative answer, Maya began to reason: "The town is inhabited by NPCs and zombies, and zombies do not attack NPCs. The first thing that came to my mind was masking pills, but masking pills lasted for a short time, only a minute, and could cause the body to get out of control. ”

Lin Wu asked, "Why don't zombies bite zombies?" ”

"Huh?"

Lin Wu: "Do you say that zombies treat NPCs as their own kind?" ”

Maya thought along the lines and said, "The fortress has some kind of medicine or technology that can allow humans and zombies to coexist. Then there is no need to migrate humans to the Blue Star. ”

Lin Wu hurriedly said: "This is the game, and the blue star is history." ”

Maya disagrees: "I don't think Dawn will make up important things. Is there another possibility that the zombies here won't attack humans? ”

Lin Wu said: "Maya, we see the same thing, and we think about completely different things. Didn't you notice? It is only 250 kilometers away from Zuo County, and it is just over two hours away by car. If you look at how nourishing the life of these NPCs is, there must be a lot of supplies in the local area. Logically speaking, where there are a large number of NPCs living in the world, there is no such thing as corrosion. Otherwise, you want to take a sip of coffee and end up eating a mouthful of garbage ash. ”

Lin Wu further said: "This is a resource library. ”

Maya didn't answer, she thought about something else: "I don't understand, why didn't they find out that the battery at the pass was destroyed?" ”

Lin Wu said: "The fort is not networked, it is a separate system. I don't know, I'm guessing. What's the plan? ”

Maya said: "Having a car alone should be a more important person. We need to determine if zombies won't attack humans, or if they won't attack NPCs. To confirm this, one should sneak into his home, and I'm sure there should be a clue to it. "It's a game, after all.

Lin Wu said in the spirit of the game: "I think we should focus on the question of why such a small town is set in the game. ”

"Airplanes?"

This woman also has times when her IQ drops, and her mind is airplanes. Lin Wu was not very curious, and his idea was to take Highway 99 directly, spend two days to blow up the fort, and hurry back to the shadows. One reason why Lin Wu didn't object was to take care of Maya's curiosity, and secondly, Lin Wu felt that in the global corrosive hardcore era, Lemon Town might be an excellent source of supplies for players.

Because of the second reason, Lin Wu also had the heart to find out the situation in the town.

……

Hanging the rope, the two of them descended from the road to the backyard of Villa 20. The owner of Villa 20 is the NPC who drove the jeep.

Lin Wu was about to touch the zombies 7 meters away and was pulled by Maya, who said in his ear: "Zombies are also one of their security measures." "Everyday life is here, and the absence of a zombie around them may make them suspicious.

The fence in the backyard was two meters high, and the two jumped up and climbed into the backyard. The villa is not large, with a small piece of grass in front and a small area in the backyard, and the left and right sides of the main building are only three meters wide. There are no zombies in the backyard, and there are many beautiful flowers that Lin Ma can't be named.

The back door of the villa is not locked, and it uses a latch, which is an anti-zombie and anti-human equipment.

The two-story villa is not large as a whole, and the main building covers an area of less than 80 square meters. On the ground floor is a dining room, living room, washroom and kitchen. Follow the stairs to the second floor and see a corridor with three rooms on the right side, namely the study, the bedroom and the exercise room. In the sports room, there is a table tennis table against the wall, with black curtains, which are tightly drawn.

Lin Wu touched the door and turned on the light in the room, and Lin Ma glanced at each other: there was electricity.

All the rooms, including the first floor, have all the windows locked, and the windows are not glass, but transparent and thickened acrylic sheets, full of plastic and inferior texture, but the price is more expensive than ordinary glass.

Lin Wu stood outside the study and read a rule posted by the door: "One: Try not to make too much noise, so as not to alarm the zombies." 2: When people are at home, they must open the door to avoid zombies from destroying buildings at will when they hear the sound and can't find the way. Three: The curtains must be tightened before turning on the lights at night. Four: Do not visit the door. Five: Do not attack zombies for no reason, even if zombies invade your home, you must send it away gently and politely. Six: Do not feed zombies, do not chat with zombies, and do not have other interactions with zombies. ”

Maya found a lot of clues during this time, and after sorting it out, she basically understood the situation in the small town of Lemmon.

After the virus infection appeared in the future city, the fortress company immediately activated the emergency plan.

In response to apocalyptic crises, primarily the global nuclear crisis, the Bastion Corporation launched Project Ark to build underground shelters in ten small towns. The shelter in the small town of Leman is located 80 meters underground below the airport.

The Lemon Sanctuary was originally established for the purpose of human continuation, but instead of a nuclear crisis, a zombie virus appeared. The Lemon Shelter became the most important virus research facility of the Fortress Corporation. But the situation was worse than they thought, and soon after the shelter was opened, many people, including soldiers, contracted the virus.

While keeping it secret, the upper echelons of the fortress hired mercenaries at a high price to enter the epidemic area and obtain the serum from the blood heart. In the end, half of the Lemon Shelter were injected with the serum, while the other half became zombies.

Each shelter has a different research direction, and the research direction of the Lemmon Shelter is to coexist with viruses, similar to genetic vaccines. By adding a virus serial number to the body's genes, the body is immune to the virus. For example, with the hepatitis B vaccine, some people can develop antibodies after the vaccine, while others cannot.

The first five subjects were zombies, with various spots on their skin and hair falling out when they were pulled off, but they were pleasantly surprised that they were able to maintain clarity of mind and control over their bodies. Most powerfully, the zombies default to the experimenter as one of their kind, and will not attack them. The sequelae are that the experimenter loses interest in normal food, and instead has the urge to bite humans, and will fall into madness as a result, until he loses his rationality and eventually becomes a zombie. Although the ending was the same, the process was different, which gave a lot of confidence to the upper echelons of the fortress.

The town of Lemmon conducted in-depth research in this area, and in two years, they synthesized a relatively effective vaccine, which can not only resist the coexistence of zombie viruses and zombies, but also greatly reduce side effects. To use an inappropriate analogy, the human being injected with the new vaccine is like an old smoker who has quit smoking, and it is uncomfortable for him to control the process of not biting, but not so that he will lose his mind.

The biggest problem is that the new vaccine is not very effective, and now the underground research institute in the town of Leman is stepping up the research and development of the vaccine.

Ordinary people have been living in underground shelters, and only experimenters can live in small towns, and some researchers or security guards can't stand the environment and voluntarily become test subjects. Subjects are to have a brief blood collection and mental health conversation once a day, and a full physical exam once a week.

The owner of Villa 20 is a genetic engineer who volunteered to be an experimenter two months ago, according to his diary. The town is home to 80 experimenters, led by a man named Iceman designated by the sanctuary.

The owner of Villa 20 goes to the airport every morning to take blood and mental health checks home with the food that has been distributed, and his daily routine is to play table tennis against the wall and plant flowers.

A month earlier, due to a shortage of manpower, the Fort Company had set up automatic batteries at three passes, erected barbed wire fences on the roads, and subsequently removed the sentinels. The younger brother of the owner of Villa 20 was a sentry, and after he was dismissed, his brother was assigned to work aboard the Hope.

The Hope is a supply ship tasked with going to sea once a week to obtain supplies from the Fort Corporation.

Having no worries about foreign invasions or the safety of the experimenters, the town of Leman only had a 20-strong fortress company armed security guard in the underground shelter.

This is the ecosphere of the town of Lemmon.

At this time, humanity had established a quarantine zone on the island and decided to start a resettlement program. In order to obtain more serum, the quarantine area offered a large reward for the forensic mercenaries of the fortress to travel to ten towns including Lemmon. After the mercenaries who arrived in Lemmon became experimenters, they were sent to the epidemic area by plane piloted by the experimenters to collect serum.

This is where the steady stream of bastion mercenaries who enter the plague area comes from. Why do mercenaries get infected to death? Because genetic vaccines are ineffective for some people, of course mercenaries won't know about it. Moreover, Lemmon is just one of ten towns.

Maya's considerations: there are planes, there is fuel, you can fly, and the security is low.

The direction that Lin Wu considered: This is a back door opened by Dawn for the hardcore mode. If you can build a base in Lemon Town, it is equivalent to returning to non-hardcore mode, there is water and electricity, the density of zombies is not high, the experimenters lack combat effectiveness, and the fortress security is 80 meters underground. The good thing is not only that the town is not corrupted, but also that a large number of supplies are delivered to the town of Leman every week. It includes fuel, tools, and possibly even weapons and ammunition.

If nothing else, the materials that can be destroyed and looted are enough to raise many shadows.

"It's about the same time, the host is coming back soon. Let's withdraw, don't take anything. Maya said, "Let's go to the west and set up camp, no matter what, we will destroy the automatic battery first." ”

……

Follow the halfpipe to the west, take Route 99 and cycle another 4 kilometres to camp at the beach one kilometre from the checkpoint. This is a small beach with rocks, not to mention that it is difficult for boats to dock, and it is difficult for people to climb the beach cliff under the action of the waves. The camping point is on the edge of a crack, seven meters below is a line of sky, and the sea water pours in at high tide, forming a small inland sea with an area of more than 200 square meters.

Maya immediately went to the checkpoint and confirmed that the checkpoint turret could rotate 360 degrees. Today's share of the small fight has been played, and the two of them will stay here for at least two and a half days. Lin Wu's proposal was to go fishing in the inland sea, and Maya's idea was to infiltrate the central area of the town and find the right time to reach the airport via the road bridge.

This infiltration mode is the first time for Limma, who has previously encountered a mix of zombies and NPCs for the first time either in an NPC base or a zombie world. Maya isn't really worried about the armed NPCs in the Underground Shelter, she's worried about the automatic defense system. Once detected by NPCs, the other party may warn the command, and the command may send out drones.

This is not unfounded, Lin Ma has seen the drone swarms and unmanned pocket tanks that protect the airport at Shuixi Middle School. In addition, it is necessary to consider whether the experimental NPCs on the ground are capable of fighting, whether the Hope is armed, and whether the crew is armed.

Maya went to the U-shaped road alone, climbed a signal tower, and took a telescope to quietly observe the zombies and NPCs on the signal tower. The zombies and NPCs don't see why, but Maya sees a two-person propeller fixed-wing plane flying from the sea. After the plane landed, it drove into the No. 1 parking garage, and after a while, the pilot left the parking garage.

Maya was able to confirm that the plane could fly. Not only that, but about ten minutes later, two NPCs dressed as ground staff drove a tanker truck into the hangar.

Maya contacted Lin Wu, who was taking a nap, through the headset, and Lin Wu: "Is there a chance?" ”

Maya said: "There is an automatic checkpoint on the highway bridge, and you need to swipe your identity. Other than that, no other security systems have been found. ”

Lin Wu said: "Experimental people driving will not attract zombies, you will drive zombies." "The sound of a car attracts zombies, but zombies attack a car not because the car has a sound, but because there are humans in the car. As soon as humans leave the car, the zombies will give up attacking the car.

Lin Wu said: "You can try, anyway, there is time, I don't care about the 24 hours of resurrection." Personally, I suggest that we should build a base in the town and carry out steady infiltration and occupation. ”

Maya asked, "Do you remember the base change activity?" ”

"Hmm."

Maya said: "At that time, we found a commercial street base, and now I see a place similar to a commercial street, which may be a base recommended by the system. On the back of the commercial street is the river, two hundred meters away is the highway bridge, located at the edge of the core area, I watched for more than an hour, there are a total of five NPCs, they directly through the road bridge to and from the villa and the airport. No one goes to the high street. ”

Lin Wu knew about the commercial street base, and the base had a discussion about the commercial street base at that time. It is said to be a commercial street, but it is more like a long two-story market. On the first floor, there are various shops, from clinics to gyms, and each shop is a small cubicle. On the second floor, there are shops such as clothing and electrical appliances, and there are several small compartments and two large compartments. The rooftop has a large outdoor lattice and is a natural outpost.

However, the defense of the high street is not strong. On the one hand, because the long façade of the base faces the open land of the parking lot, there is no geographical advantage at all. The second is that there are two back doors on the first floor, which are easy to be infiltrated by zombies.

Maya says that the back side is the river, which solves the second problem. But the first problem is difficult to solve, there is no fence, there is no fence, it is difficult to block the frontal impact of the corpse tide. The advantage is that each of the shops in the shopping street has a corresponding bonus. When you set up a ward in the clinic, not only will the recovery speed be faster, but you will also randomly brush up on pills or herbs every day. Using a gym gives you more stat experience than a regular gym. In addition, there is a bookstore on the first floor and a screening room on the second floor.

Overall, it is a place where everyone can live comfortably. Since it is an indoor building, you can still move comfortably indoors in the event of heavy rain and other weather.

Lin Wu said after a long time: "There are still three quarters before the game is over, and the ghost knows what the dawn will do." The Doomsday Fortress not only has defensive capabilities, but also has relatively rich resources. "Although it is ugly, although you need to climb a straight ladder to go up and down the stairs, and although most of the base is an open-air building, the defense capability is really strong.

"Okay." Lin Wu persuaded Maya, and Maya said, "I'll go back after drawing the map." ”
