The Reborn Otaku's Code of Practice for the Apocalypse

"This crossbow is really ruthless!"

"That's not right! Hit the zombie's head right through!"

"God, the recoil is almost as strong as those large-caliber guns!"

A few people looked out from the shooting port, Li Tie and the others were trying their newly improved weapons, and it seemed that the effect was really good.

Under Luo Xun's suggestion, Yan Fei increased the caliber of these crossbows and increased the length of the crossbow body, making them more lethal.The crossbow bolts have also been modified to make them more destructive, but because of the weather, most of the crossbow bolts are not loaded with mushroom juice.

After several people's experiments, the improved crossbow arrows without mushroom juice are enough to deal with normal-sized zombies, and the added ones are just right for shooting those super big ones!

Hearing the heavy footsteps of the zombies outside getting louder, Luo Xun got up and went to the window to look out a few times. Seeing that a few big zombies had been knocked down and couldn't get up, he smiled at him. A few people said: "How is it? This kind of zombie is not difficult to fight, right?"

He Qiankun nodded vigorously excitedly: "Yeah! This thing just looks scary!"

That's because it's not a siege battle now, and it's so cold that they are so frozen that they are inconvenient to move, so people feel easy to deal with.If it were placed in summer, these zombies would stand far outside the battle circle, cooperating with other long-range zombies to keep throwing big stones, broken bricks, and small zombies over. Seeing that they would never feel easy to deal with?Even if they are not attacking from a distance, once they speed up and hit the city wall, it is enough for the people on the wall to drink a pot.

Luo Xun didn't say such frustrating words, but these big guys started to fight back after vaguely realizing that this smooth metal "egg" seemed not very easy to deal with.They bent down stiffly, randomly picked up the things around them and threw them here forcefully.

Most of the time, what they throw over them are large and small snow blocks, and sometimes they will throw away the buried bricks, rotten wood, and they are more likely to grab casually from under the snow. Pick up the arms or legs of the zombies around you, and treat them as garbage without even looking at them, just like everyone throws them here.

From the moment they started to bend over, Luo Xun asked everyone to step back, and asked Yan Fei to erect a metal baffle in front of the small window.Listening to the sound of ping-pong-pong on the metal wall, everyone secretly rejoiced—fortunately, Yan Fei made the outer wall very smooth and hard enough when he repaired the roof.Even if it is thrown by those zombies, if it shakes casually, it will slide those zombies or other things into the surrounding traps, and quickly rot with the help of mushroom juice.

"Do you want to find a way to kill them?" Xu Mei was a little worried when she heard the sound of beating on the wall.

Luo Xun smiled: "It's okay, don't worry about them, let them throw them away." Seeing everyone looking at him in amazement, Luo Xun just spread his hands and said helplessly, "After they throw away all the rubbish around them What will be lost?"

Everyone looked at him in bewilderment for a while.Suddenly Yan Fei laughed, and turned to look at the unblocked small window: "There are more and more zombies gathered."

"Ah?" Everyone still couldn't understand the meaning of the two of them, Zhang Su suddenly rolled his eyes, and slapped Wang Duo on the back of the head casually: "Throw away the zombies, it's still remote."

Although the zombies don't have much wisdom after they have reached a high level, they seem to be very aware of their own strengths and abilities when fighting.For example, those without special abilities will try to catch up with the target, or they will tirelessly destroy the obstacles in front of them and grab the "food" behind them.

But if it is a zombie above level [-] and already has abilities, they will start to use their abilities to attack.Those of the melee type will definitely find a way to use their abilities to catch up with their targets as much as possible.The long-range ones will stand far away and throw their abilities, sniping, and even some weird zombies have learned how to fly kites-but the target they want to fly is human beings.

Every time Luo Xun and the others went out to fight zombies, the headaches would never be those zombies who bravely rushed straight into the traps and fire pits, but those zombies who stood far away and shot coldly.Especially once a big fire is lit in the trap, if you want to eliminate those zombies, you have to go over the flames to carefully identify their positions...

With a "bang", another zombie was thrown over and smashed out of the dome on one side of the metal wall. When it slid from the wall into the trap, it spit out a mouthful of flames—good job!Just throw all these guys over here!

Yan Fei strengthened and repaired the metal roof after a while.Song Lingling manipulated the melted mushroom juice to let them continue to drip from the pipe into the trap, corroding the zombies to emit white smoke.

The zombies, whose physiques had grown huge, still tirelessly threw all the things that could be thrown around them in the direction of everyone.Luo Xun and the others were worried that if the opponent threw too much garbage, it might fill up the surrounding traps, so after thinking about it, they decided to let Xu Mei operate the flame remotely to melt all the snow around the three-meter-high zombies.Then let Xiao Xinran directly sand down those large pieces of garbage.

After reaching the third level, the range of effects of the ability will also become farther, and it is relatively easy for them to operate these non-attack abilities.

After all the rubbish around the "giants" disappeared, all they could catch was their companions...

All night long, the sound of "booming" on the metal roof did not stop.Luo Xun and the others took turns sleeping all night under this kind of accompaniment, until the next morning when they confirmed that there would be no more zombies rushing over for the time being, and that the outside traps were almost completely filled with zombies and their rotting corpses. Even the big guys in some places where there are no small zombies start to grab each other and want to throw them over (unfortunately, the result of doing so often results in wrestling-like consequences, a few zombies roll together and cannot get up), this Just pour the gasoline into the trap—ignite it! !

The feast of roasting zombies was staged again, and the violent bright red flames danced in all directions of the temporary base. Zhang Su once again began to change the air in the semicircular building and provide oxygen to the fire burning in the trap outside.

Listening to the occasional sound of little poor people thrown by the big zombie hitting the wall outside, Luo Xun and the others talked and laughed inside while taking out materials to prepare lunch.

"According to today's situation, if the base does not limit the number of people going out in the future, we can occasionally come out to fight monsters. As long as the time is not too long, it will not be a big problem." Luo Xun said, looking at Zhang Su and Xu Mei. people.

Li Tie and the others usually need to go to work, and they can only come out once a month.But Zhang Su, Xu Mei and the others don't need it.

And judging from today's situation - the reduced mobility of the zombies means that everyone's harvest will not be too much every time they come out. If you want to provide a sufficient number of crystal cores for the team's ability users to use, then It is bound to require everyone to come out several times.

"I have no objection." Zhang Su raised an eyebrow on one side, or he wished he could make a few more bases.

Xu Mei and Song Lingling also looked at each other, and the two ladies nodded: "No problem, uh... But we may need to ask for a few days off every month..."

When the two ladies said this, their faces were slightly uncomfortable and blushed. Luo Xun didn't react for a while, but Zhang Su waved his hands and said, "It's not that I want to come out every day. When I can't come out, I can grow vegetables at home."

Luo Xun came back to his senses and smiled: "No problem, except for this time at the end of each month, we usually come out once or twice a month at most, and the frequency will not be too many." Ladies have issues that ladies need to pay attention to What's more, the results of this problem every month for ladies will be very attractive to zombies, and I don't know how their noses grow. Anyway, if a woman goes out to the base during menstruation, there will be zombies tirelessly chasing after her. Come smelling of blood.

The crackling sound of burning and the fire in the trap burned for a whole morning.Everyone waited until the long-range zombies on the periphery were almost thrown away by the big zombies over three meters before shooting the big guys and the sporadic small zombies around them from a long distance in the gap where the fire was getting smaller.

After finally getting these things done, the place centered on the metal shield is particularly eye-catching in the white snow and ice...

Everyone started to collect crystal nuclei, Luo Xun stood at the gate and looked outside, wondering what he was thinking.

After finishing the trap and the wall, Yan Fei walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm thinking about how to restore this place..." Luo Xun was pondering, his eyes scanning back and forth between the snow field and the ground without any trace of snow.

"Let Zhang Su blow some of the surrounding snow over?" Yan Fei helped him out.

"Hmm... Let's see the effect... That's right!" Luo Xun's eyes lit up and he called Song Lingling, "How small can you make the water droplets?"

"Small??" Song Lingling asked with a question mark, and raised her finger to make a droplet of standard size.

"No matter how small it is, it's better to be as small as a snowflake!"

Song Lingling has practiced increasing the speed of water and the strength of water arrows before, and making the water droplets as small as possible, but she has never tried it.

After many experiments, Song Lingling was able to make water droplets the size of a large needle nose, but after making these water droplets, they turned into finely divided ice particles, not snowflakes of various shapes, even if there were some finely divided ice particles on them. There are small cracks and irregular shapes, but after all, they are still far from real snowflakes.However, it is no problem to use it as a cover and let Zhang Su blow some normal snow from nearby.

After tidying up the place where we stayed before, everyone withdrew from here and parked their things and sleds on the snowdrift not far away.Song Lingling started to make small ice particles, and Zhang Su assisted her to evenly sprinkle the crushed ice on the place where they had landed before. After the crushed ice covered a certain height, he let Zhang Su blow through the loose snowflakes nearby, equally splashed on top.

"Don't tell me, although you can still see the difference if you look closely, the effect is no different from real snow." Xu Mei bent down to carefully observe the broken ice particles not covered by real snow not far away.Because these things are so small, they really look like real ice and snow from a distance.

Song Lingling clenched her fists: "I will work hard! I must make snowflakes that are no different from real snow!"

But the problem is that even if she can make similar water droplets, she is useless except for covering in winter, and it is useless at ordinary times!Oh, of course, she can also pretend to be raining at other times, but... this is the problem, even if it is done, what is the use other than raining and watering?

Climbing back to the homemade sled car, everyone rides the wind and waves all the way, stops at regular intervals to heat the water in the car, and then continues to ride the wind and waves...

Finally, when it was completely dark, they returned to the place where they hid the car.

After clearing the snow above, Yan Fei restored the cars to their original state, and everyone quickly stuffed the dismantled sled into the cars... So, after ten o'clock in the evening, the group finally entered the gate of the base.

Handing in two hundred first-level crystal nuclei, driving the car on the road still full of ice and snow, when everyone returned to the corridor on the fifteenth floor, the time has passed eleven o'clock in silence...

"Come on, take everyone's crystal cores, and put this one in the common crystal core of the team." After Luo Xun explained the last thing, he almost hung himself on Yan Fei's body and let him take him to slow down. Slowly climb up to the sixteenth floor. "It's really cold today..." When I went out yesterday, the temperature outside gradually increased from low to high. Although it didn't rise much, it was not so cold that my bones ached.But when they came back today, it was getting later and later, and it was getting colder and colder outside. When they came back, they felt the cold wind keep getting into their hats and masks from around their glasses.If it weren't for the plumbing in the modified sled they were riding in, someone would have been frozen out on the way back today!

"Go home and take a hot bath first." Yan Fei's hand passed through Luo Xun's ribs, almost half-carrying him upstairs.

"Well, let's improve the plumbing in the car before we go out next time. Anyway, we have to turn on the electricity, so let the electricity heat the water in the metal directly, so as not to have to stop to heat the water after a while." For Luo Xun and the others, the temperature in the middle was like being in heaven.Thinking about taking a warm and comfortable bath after returning home for a while, the anticipation in Luo Xun's eyes is even stronger!

So, after Yan Fei opened the door of his house, Luo Xun naturally walked in first, preparing to rush into the bathroom to heat the water heater, but... was directly hit by a "monster" with a light bulb on and black eyes...

"Oh! Stinky dog, get up!" The big hot tongue licked Luo Xun's face very rudely, why is he so stupid?Have you forgotten that there is such a dog at home? !

With a "snap", Yan Fei turned on the light beside the door, and stretched out his hand to pick up Luo Xun who was thrown to the ground by the excited little guy.

After dragging the smelly dog ​​into the house and throwing it aside, Luo Xun had a chance to rush into the bathroom to get hot water.

Everything in the house is still normal, put the little quail that just hatched in the past two days back into the glass box, Yan Fei observed the conditions of the animals and plants in the house, and then went back to the living room to open the crystal nucleus shared by the two of them Checked it out a little bit.

"There really aren't many crystal nuclei this time." Luo Xun had already taken off his coat, and was taking off his pants to change into pajamas.After they finished counting the crystal nuclei, each of them only got about a thousand pieces this time.Of course, the ratio of the second and third grades among them is much higher than before, and higher than the last time when everyone went to the north of the city together.

"Well, but we can consider contacting Captain Wang again to exchange some metal-type crystal nuclei." Yan Fei counted and confirmed the number of metal-type crystal nuclei allocated to him this time.The number of metal-type zombies is still too small. The lower the base number of crystal nuclei they hit, the less such crystal nuclei they get.

"Well, of course I have to change it, but at least I have to wait until the day after tomorrow." Luo Xun rubbed his red fingers. When he came back today, he was obviously wearing leather gloves and a pair of oversized cotton gloves on top of the leather gloves. But his fingers were still red from the cold.

Yan Fei pulled him to sit beside her and rubbed his hands together.Seeing this, the little guy on the other side unceremoniously ran up the sofa, and forcibly stuffed the dog's head into Luo Xun's arms—begging to be petted.

"I've wronged you." Luo Xun rubbed the dog's head in a good mood. The two came back late today, and the little guy probably felt wronged enough to wait at home these two days.

After the water in the house was heated, Yan Fei dragged others to the bathtub where the water had been placed and had a couple bath.After they took a bath, there was no dry place on the bathroom floor... Ahem, the two of them tidied up after a lot of hard work and hurried back upstairs, sleeping comfortably on the bed that was enough for them. Let the two of them roll and play on the big bed with nothing to do.

Early the next morning, all team members undoubtedly got up late, and Li Tie even had a bit of a dry nose, so Xu Mei and the others discussed it and decided to make a big pot of hot duck soup.The Chinese cabbage at home has been produced in batches recently, but unfortunately, the rice noodles are almost used up...Of course, there are still some white noodles at home, which are replaced by everyone after the base has not replaced the old grain. You can make some hand-rolled noodles. Noodles to eat.

"It's okay, it's just freezing, it's not viral." Zhang Su is a surgeon, but he doesn't have a deep understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, and he can usually see this kind of internal disease.

Li Tie nodded and put on the mask. Although it is not contagious, let alone viral, what if it is contagious?It's better for him to be careful, there is still a child at home.

The hot soup pot simmered for a full hour, and Xu Mei and Song Lingling also made some other stir-fried dishes, such as fried quail eggs with tomatoes, or roasted eggplant.

Generally speaking, the otaku team will have a meal every once in a while, and today's noon is considered to be such a small meal.

While eating and chatting, Luo Xun suggested to Zhang Su and the others: "I think if you want to go out, it's best to go out once in the near future, but it depends on whether the base will change the regulations on going out of the city in the near future."

"We can only wait, after all, we can't go out by force." Yan Fei persuaded him, although it would be best for them to go out before the second snowfall, but the current situation is very difficult.

It is not uncommon for a very small team to occasionally ask to leave the city, but in that case, the base is generally unwilling to let it go, unless it is the kind of person who is planning to go to other places to find relatives with his own belongings and is not planning to return in a short time.Those who forcibly asked to leave would still be required to pay an "entry fee" before entering the base if they came back again.Although the base does not recognize this name, everyone knows what the entry fee means.

It is said that other bases also have this kind of system, but they have higher requirements. When entering the city, all the materials they bring with them must be checked, verified and registered. After a certain amount, all people entering the city must pay more than half of the materials on their bodies. to get in.If the amount of materials you carry does not reach a certain amount, you are not allowed to enter the door at all.

The topic got far away, Luo Xun shook his head: "Pay attention to listening to the radio and short messages, anyway, there may be such a day sooner or later."

Zhang Su ate the duck meat in his bowl and grabbed another piece: "I'll call later and ask, maybe I can have some inside information."

"Inside information?" Luo Xun rummaged with a spoon a few times, but found two pieces of frozen tofu in one go... Well, this is the difference between people. In terms of grabbing food, there are probably only [-] pieces of frozen tofu in the room. No one can snatch Zhang Su.

"En." Zhang Su responded without explaining in detail.But he must know more people than the others present, and he also has a girlfriend who is a high-level base, so what can he find out if he is not sure?

After lunch, Zhang Su really made a phone call to his best friend, and got the result that everyone was curious about—wait for another two days, and the base should issue an official notice.So the news is definitely true.

What Luo Xun and the others are looking forward to now is—God, don't let it snow these days!

Of course, it is certain that they are looking forward to going out again. Who made the number of crystal nuclei they harvested this time not ideal?But going out and going out, things at home still have to be busy.

In the early morning of the next day, Luo Xun and the others got up much earlier than the previous day, packed up their own vegetables and pulled them into a cart to send to the canteen of the military camp.Since the two of them no longer work here, they felt somewhat emotional when they came here this time.However, the place where the food was delivered was far away from the location of the metal department supernatural team, so they probably had no chance to meet it.

Send the vegetables to the cafeteria and chat with Captain Li here.After that, the two drove to the material exchange office and found Captain Wang.

Captain Wang was still surprised when he learned that the two of them were going to change the crystal nucleus again. After all, they had just changed it two days ago.But maybe they changed some crystal nuclei these two days?
