7 Days of the Dead
"Civilization" imitates the chaotic history and launches "companion disasters".
In this design, all factors that lead to disasters are infinitely magnified. Volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, tsunamis... Once a disaster has a significant impact in a certain place, it is classified as a "companion disaster" of the current round of disasters and begins to recur around the world.
There is no clear list of "associated disasters". Some people have compiled documents of the ones that have occurred. As of the end of the world, there are more than 3,000 types.
The randomness is too high, making it difficult to target.
However, veteran players have come up with a rule: observe disasters and unusual events.
Although it is impossible to directly target disasters, early warning of the occurrence of "associated disasters" can sometimes save a life and save some resources.
"Ask someone to check every few days to see if there are any changes." Ye Miaomiao said solemnly.
The team members responded.
It was getting late, and fearing that something might happen again, the group drove back to the territory as quickly as possible after completing the inspection.
The seventh day of the disaster, the day when the zombies surrounded the city.
Very bad luck: If the moon changes color, there will be disaster. Yearly disasters, dark moon, red clouds covering the moon, bones exposed in the wild. Do not go out, do not visit relatives or friends.
People have become accustomed to disasters occurring every seven days.
That morning, the caravans that had been set out for the "hunting" expedition hadn't departed. A large amount of supplies and props were piled up near the closed city gates, and many people were moving them up and down.
By the wall, a couple watched the crowd preparing for battle.
The girl held the bow, hesitant. "Although this was my idea, but... do we really want to join this siege?"
Last night, Ye Miaomiao lifted the restrictions on the wall, and everyone could climb up the wall and participate in hunting zombies.
Zombies are very weak individually, so during a siege, it's not dangerous to stay on the high walls and defend the city. Ordinary people can also kill zombies by standing still and dealing damage safely.
Moreover, the zombies’ strength lies in their “human wave tactics”. It makes no sense for them to fight against a larger number with a small number of people, so Ye Miaomiao encourages everyone to participate in the siege day.
"Didn't the Lord say it? As long as there's participation, even if it's just an arrow, it will be recorded in the spoils. Zombie loot is so rich, we can make a lot of money!"
The girl glanced at him distrustfully. She wasn't sure if she could make money. She was worried about safety. After all, this was a disaster day!
The boy immediately said, "You decide, baby. Whatever you say is what it is!"
The girl hesitated: "Then let's go buy a shield prop?"
In the store, except for the choke and cannon with extremely high damage values, all other props will be put up for sale.
One of these items was the shield item, which they had gone to look at a few days ago. The better ones could add 50 points of shield, but they were also priced at 30 points each, so they didn't have the guts to buy them.
"What if I can't make it back..." the boy was not sure.
The girl affirmed, "Safety is the most important thing. If you lose your life, you won't be able to spend any points you earn."
"This is a disaster after all, and all sorts of accidents are possible. We only have 20 HP, so an item that adds 50 points of shield is like buying two and a half lives."
Boy: My heart is beating.
Action speaks louder than words, so the two made a decision and quickly rushed to the store.
At this moment, there was already a long line in front of the store.
Conversations between the front and rear came into my ears, and it seemed that these people were all going to participate in the siege tonight.
The team advanced very slowly. A fat man behind the couple worried, "With so many people, I hope they don't run out of rentals. What will I do at night if I don't have any weapons..."
Passersby were surprised: "Renting weapons? You're going to the Central District today?"
The fat man waved his hands hurriedly: "No! No! How dare I go to the central area? My strength is too low, and ordinary bows and arrows can't do any damage. Isn't it true that the spoils are distributed according to damage? I just want to rent a weapon with high damage..."
Passersby suddenly realized.
The couple listened to this and looked at each other.
They lived in a country where chokepoints were banned before the apocalypse and had never known anything about chokepoints, so they had never thought about renting weapons.
The fat man was quite smart and came up with this idea.
When you think about it this way, it really makes sense!
"Do we also want to rent weapons?" The boy hesitated but was eager to try.
"Let's go take a look first."
Even so, a wave of anxiety welled up inside him. What if the weapons were too expensive? Should they rent them? What if, as Fatty worried, they were out of stock? With so many people, it was normal for shield items to be out of stock. Then what about tonight's siege?
"It's okay, baby." The boy noticed something and rubbed the girl's shoulders comfortingly. "At most, we don't take the money. It's not like we can't afford to eat."
After a while, around noon, it was finally their turn.
I stood at the door of the store with worry, and finally saw the store NPC.
"Welcome! Today all city defense items are 20% off! Due to the long queue, you only have a maximum of ten minutes to shop after entering the store. Thank you for coming!"
When I entered the store, there were about ten people inside.
The two hurried towards the shield-type props.
The price tags of various props were marked in red. The price of the ring prop that the two of them had set their eyes on was originally 30 points, but it was reduced to 24 points!
"Buy it! Buy it!" The girl squeezed through the crowd and quickly grabbed two items at the speed of Double Eleven. Just as she was about to check out, she suddenly saw the remaining quantity of the item displayed on the screen.
987.
Girl: “…” She felt choked and at the same time in disbelief.
Where did all these ring props come from! There are only four or five hundred people in the territory, even two per person would be more than enough!
Is it because there are so many ring props? Or is it because these products are not good, which is why no one buys them?
I tentatively picked up the necklace props, bracelet props, and glove props next to me, and finally found that there were hundreds or thousands of them. Some of the less useful ones even had two or three thousand.
After silently putting on the ring, he went to the other side to rent a weapon.
After her previous surprise, this time she calmly looked at the various weapons in stock of 5,000 and selected two of the cheapest and simplest pistols - the more expensive ones required basic skills in using weapons before they could be rented.
Weapons and bullets are shockingly cheap.
"I say..." the girl glanced at the cheaper anti-infection pills nearby, "If we can make a lot of money today, why don't we go to the Central District?"
The boy didn't expect this and hesitated: "But..."
"Let's take a look at the situation first," the girl said. "It's not unreasonable for so many people to go out hunting zombies. Let's ask those who have gone out hunting before making a decision. Maybe after today, more people will go out!"
All I can say is that zombies are human cash cows.
The two looked at each other and became eager to try.
