Corrupted Nation

Shana answered the phone and put it on speakerphone: "Hello?"

Maya: "Hi Shanna, how are you doing?"

Shana explained the current situation in more detail, and Maya was happy with Shadow's progress: "Can I make a suggestion on personnel arrangements?"

"sure."

Maya said: "Judging from the current situation, at least until the end of the plague, the survivors will not carry out large-scale migration. There is also not much time left for you. I suggest Lin Wu be responsible for the LTL freight. He can fight and run. Don’t let anyone worry about it. Bring the useful things with you. If you can’t take them with you, move to a safer area first.”

Maya said: "Mobilize most of the personnel to go to the resource train. Food is very important, plates, coal, etc. are also important. At the same time, collect fuel as soon as possible. Therefore, the current focus of the work is not on the bathroom, not on the toilet, not on drinking water, nor on chopping firewood. , but resources.”

Maya said: "After Lin Wu is done with his work, let him search the warehouse. His job is to locate resources. Don't let him move resources, otherwise he will definitely slow down his work."

Lin Wu: "Ha!"

Maya didn't hear it: "Don't waste your time at night. It's inconvenient to go to the distribution center at night, but you can get water. Don't think about making a car for the time being. I suggest using tires and wooden boards to make a cart for the transportation of water and firewood on the viaduct section." Nightfall is after six o'clock in the evening. Between six o'clock and eleven o'clock, at least several trips of clean water and firewood can be transported. Don't let Lin Wu do this work. If you see him idle, let him equip himself with night vision goggles. continue working."

Maya: "Sanna, you have a sprained foot. You can use bamboo to make bows and arrows at home. The skulls of zombies are not hard, just sharpen the arrows. Bamboo is an unlimited resource for us, and we must use it as much as possible. I think it can Instead of using pipes to divert water, use bamboo to divert water.”

Maya explained: "Just open up the inside of the round bamboo, which saves the work of burying pipes and facilitates maintenance and fixing. The water is connected to the viaduct, and then the bamboo is split into two halves as water pipes, and iron wires are used to fix it on the viaduct. Go down the river."

Maya said: "Stones react slowly. Don't you have seeds? Stones can collect soil according to local conditions and grow vegetables. Vegetables are very important. If you only eat instant noodles, your body will definitely have problems, and it is a fatal problem. Therefore, even if there are no vegetables, you must Appropriately add various wild vegetables.”

Lin Wu asked: "Tell me something important, where are you?"

Maya replied: "We accepted Shana's suggestion. We are currently on the 36th floor of the Triumph Building. We have solar panels, batteries, and there are no problems with food and water. It's just that the internal struggle is a bit fierce."

150 female prisoners used cars to reach the Triumph Building before the flood, and followed Shana's suggestion to loot the Shrimp supermarket. During this period, fight zombies and survivors. Including those lost along the way, 85 people survived. Before and after the city-wide power outage due to the embankment breach, they transported needed supplies from the 9th floor to the top of the 36th floor through elevators and fire stairs. Build a base on level 36.

In the most difficult days, everyone was very united, worked hard and helped each other. Yesterday afternoon, during the first dinner after officially completing the moving work, Maya noticed something was wrong. Some people began to put forward their opinions on the distribution of materials, and many people responded.

Probably divided into several factions. Equilibrium, everyone gets exactly the same amount of food and water. In the on-demand allocation method, resources are provided according to demand. The hierarchical method divides everyone into several teams according to the work content. Several teams receive the same supplies every day. How to distribute them is the team's business. In the leader method, a leader is elected, and the leader appoints multiple key members, who decide how to allocate resources.

There were 85 people of all ages from 18 to 60 years old, and everyone had different needs and appeals. Therefore, the first dinner meeting broke up on bad terms, and we are currently preparing to hold a second meeting. The topic of the meeting is to determine the nature of the team.

Maya belongs to the neutral faction and is a hero that everyone wants to win over, but she does not express any opinions and is only responsible for actual work. For example, building a water collection system, growing vegetables, preserving food, and investigating surrounding situations and other specific tasks.

After last night's bad breakup, Maya didn't shy away from her responsibilities. In view of the increasingly strong smell of gunpowder, Maya proposed at breakfast that she and the four female prisoners would keep all weapons. They would remain completely neutral, maintain stability and order, and avoid bloody conflicts. Because Maya's prestige was too high, no one objected.

Maya said: "I just avoided the temporary conflict."

Shana looked at the map on her phone: "You are in the southernmost area of ​​the city, and we are in the southwesternmost area of ​​the city. The straight-line distance between the two is more than 20 kilometers. Do you have any ideas?"

Maya said: "I don't have any specific ideas."

Lin Wu: "The biggest feature of our two areas is that there is almost no accumulation of water, and the floods are all heading to the northeast. It is predicted that the weather will heat up step by step. If we don't converge now, the entire city will become a plague. Earth, humans cannot live in it." The water soaked the corpses, contaminating the water. If there is no water, the air will be polluted.

Shitou said: "Maya, you have an idea, but given our current situation, you don't have an idea, right?"

Maya did not deny it anymore: "My idea is very simple, let Lin Wu come and pick me up."

Lin Wu: "It's very dangerous, okay?"

Maya said: "However, your base needs to do a lot of things. It is definitely not appropriate to take Lin Wu away at this time." Lin Wu is Maya's best friend. The two of them have experienced many things together, life and death, so in There are not many emotional concerns. She also believed that Lin Wu would be willing to come, but there was not much time left for the base. If the railway bridge base was not completed as soon as possible, there would be a shortage of resources after entering the plague era.

Maya shared her previous thoughts. Lin Wu could pass through the Houtian River under the railway bridge to the south of the city to meet Maya, and then the two of them would return to the railway bridge shelter on foot. If everything goes well, two days will be enough.

Lin Wu was dissatisfied: "Don't ask me whether I agree or not? My status is very noble, okay? Besides, it's dangerous, okay?"

Maya asked: "Would you like to come?"

Lin Wu: "Let's go there reluctantly."

Maya said: "But no, the base is more important. I can still survive here for a while."

Shitou asked: "Some days? Insufficient resources?"

Maya said: "There are still a lot of resources. I think he will die in an assassination."

"Have high prestige, do not accept the leadership of the upper class, and do not develop their own power." Shitou said: "I support your idea, you will definitely be killed. Lin Wu, Xue Dan, you go there overnight Get a rubber boat back from the distribution center, and Lin Wu, you can leave tomorrow."

Shitou said: "Maya, don't underestimate us. We can not only cope with the current situation, but also stabilize our development base."

Lin Wu said: "Last time we were away, the base was destroyed."

Shitou was speechless and became angry and started to attack: "I'll kill you."

Lin Meng hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle, you can't beat him."

"Hehe." Lin Wu let out a triumphant laugh and asked, "Maya, can I contact you at this number?"

"Well, this is a satellite phone, and it has been recharged through the system, so there should be no problem." Maya said, "Just in case, we have to work out the time, location and other details."

…

With Maya's phone remote control, the shelter is in order. Whether it was the departmental system that Lin Wu and Shitou discussed, or the open system that everyone discussed together before, it was not as good as Maya's method of making the best use of it. Maya is a collectivist, but takes into account individual differences when executing.

The most typical example is Lin Wu. Lin Wu can be sent out on adventures, but he cannot be sent to do coolies. People with strong executive abilities such as Xue Dan are suitable for completing boring tasks. Of course, this is also related to Maya's profession. A sniper should do what a sniper does, and don't think about shooting twice without any trouble.

There were no rice balls, only instant noodles, so Lin Wu brought a few packs of instant noodles, a box of biscuits, and two thermos cups of boiling water. Also carrying a bundle of rope, three pistols and 100 rounds of ammunition. I don't bring the assault rifle anymore. When I need to use this thing, it means that Lin Wu can no longer run away.

At dawn the next day, Xiao Wu and Xue Dan set off first to get the rubber boat and send it to the river below the railway bridge.

Although the water level has dropped to within the dam line, judging from the floating objects, the flow rate is still relatively fast. Xiao Wu and Xue Dan wished Lin Wu good luck, pushed the rubber boat Lin Wu was riding out, and watched the rubber boat float away. When they were about to turn around and leave, the rubber boat hit a piece of wood and was overturned.

Everyone watched from high places and by the river as Lin Wu grabbed the net rope of the rubber boat and floated downstream. They could only pray for Lin Wu's good luck.

Shitou comforted everyone and said: "It's okay, the disaster will last for thousands of years."

Shana cooperated: "Okay, everyone, focus on the work at hand. Don't let them come back by then. The base will still be the base it is now."

…

Will Lin Wu drifting in the river die? In theory, yes, but with his status as an extreme star, it's different. What if there is no cheating status as an extreme athlete? Four or five times out of ten, he still won't die. It has been several days since the embankment burst, and the rain has stopped for several days. As mentioned before, due to sand dredging in Houtian City, the river is deep and the water is slow. As long as it does not hit large floating objects, there is basically no problem.

Lin Wu let go of the net rope and dived into the water, avoiding the impact of floating objects, and followed the current towards the shore. After a while, he touched the stone wall of the dam on the shore, and floated along the stone wall for another hundred meters. From a step Go ashore. After landing, first check the equipment, whether the satellite phone has been flooded, and whether the instant noodles are broken. Then take out the pistol from the small sealed box.

Most firearms are mechanical and will not malfunction due to water intrusion. However, various problems will occur after water enters, such as diluting the gun oil and causing faster wear of parts during the firing process of the pistol. In addition, if there is sand entering the gun chamber, it may cause the chamber to explode.

Lin Wu put on dry clothes and dry shoes on the shore, put the clothes and shoes in a cloth bag, squeezed out a lot of water by pulling on the rope, and hung the cloth bag on the back of his backpack. Put away the pistol and go to the road from the steps, and observe the surrounding situation at the entrance of the steps.

The Southern District is also called the outer district and the white-collar district. In the early years of the city's development, it was a place where migrant workers gathered. Today it is best known as a living area composed of ten large white-collar communities. Most of them are composed of 32-story high-rise buildings and single-family villas. Each community has up to 10,000 permanent residents. The supporting commercial facilities are mainly for eating, drinking and having fun.

The Triumph Building where Maya is located is considered a landmark building in the southern district. It integrates food, supermarket, hotel, singing, foot washing, sauna, amusement park, cinema, pet hospital, etc. The floor area of ​​each floor exceeds 3,000 square meters. The most famous of them is the Xirma supermarket on the 7th, 8th and 9th floors. It is no exaggeration to say that you can buy almost all legal items here, including houses.

Lin Wu spotted the Triumph Building five kilometers away at a glance.

Because of the higher terrain in Nancheng District, the floods flowed backward from Xicheng into Houtian City. Although Nancheng was also flooded, it did not cause impact floods. The neat rows of cars on the road showed that the floods in Nancheng were not enough to make cars float. However, the mud brought by the flood was not less at all. The cars were painted with a layer of earth color, and the mud on some parts of the ground was as deep as ten centimeters.

The flood did not wash away the cars, but it did wash away the zombies. At least the density of zombies in this area is not very high, much lower than in Zuoxian County in the hardcore era. Lin Wu Maoyao used the cover of the car to check the conditions of several cars and found that there was still water inside the cars, which ruled out the idea of ​​borrowing cars as transportation.

Lin Wu crossed the road and leaned against the wall outside the community. The stickiness of the mud on the soles of his feet made him unhappy, so he tightened his shoelaces again. When Lin Wu stood up, his eyes were dazzled by the sun. He looked up and saw someone on the 32nd floor of the walled community using a mirror to illuminate himself.

There were two female and one male survivors. They discovered humans other than themselves, and they all waved excitedly. Lin Wu also waved in response. The mirror shone at Lin Wu again, and the light moved away, walking in front of Lin Wu, towards a roundabout parking lot one kilometer away.

To put it simply, there is a parking lot built into the roundabout. The parking lot has three floors. The survivors seemed to be telling Lin Wu that there was something scary in the parking lot, or that there were other survivors in the parking lot. Perhaps it means that the survivors are the most terrifying now.

Lin Wu blew a kiss to express his gratitude and moved on. He is currently on the road outside the community. He can turn left along the roundabout and enter the commercial street. Continuing along the roundabout are other roads outside the community.

When facing zombies, dodge first, kill them if you can't dodge them, and go around them if you can't kill them. Using the game's set, the progress is going very smoothly.

When approaching the roundabout, Lin Wu quietly followed a zombie, stabbed it in the back, then leaned aside and waited. There was a zombie ten meters away in his path. After waiting for a while, the zombie turned its head. Lin Wu raised the dagger and stepped forward. When he was still four meters away from the zombie, a small stone fell on the roof of the car between Lin Wu and the zombie, making a loud noise.

Lin Wu ignored the mud on the ground and lay down decisively before the zombies turned around. Quietly observing the zombie's feet from under the car, Lin Wu stood up and touched the zombie's back after lying down for ten seconds, stabbing it in the back to execute it.

Where did the pebbles come from? Lin Wu looked up and saw the rooftop of the roundabout parking lot, which was on the third floor, more than 20 meters away. There is a low guardrail on the third-floor rooftop. There is a tall jeep beside the guardrail. A woman is sitting on the roof of the jeep. She holds a slingshot and shoots another stone towards Lin Wu. He didn't say anything with a look on his face that he wanted to be beaten, but he also moved his fingers to signal: Come here.

Lin Wu looked around and saw only a few scattered zombies nearby. There are no zombies in the distance of more than 20 meters from where I am to the upward passage of the parking lot. However, Lin Wu saw muddy footprints on the passage. If his guess was correct, there were survivors ambushing him by the passage. He would wait until he reached the parking lot and outflank him to kill him.

Did he take advantage of the situation, walk over and kill someone, and then ransack the parking lot? never mind! They were all survivors, and Lin Wu could understand them. So he pulled out his pistol, held it with both hands, and took aim. As soon as the rooftop girl pulled up her slingshot, she was shot in the head by Lin Wu. Lin Wu then put away his gun and left, understanding. Considering his own safety, he still had to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

You show kindness, I show kindness, you provoke, I kill. I don’t know if it’s a doomsday rule, but it’s definitely Lin Wu’s rule.

It's a pity, the rooftop girl is pretty pretty. Lin Wu turned left into the commercial street and borrowed the rearview mirror of the car on the roadside. He saw two men hurriedly running towards the rooftop.
