At this time, there was a shoving sound in the corridor outside the door. "Go!" This was Karim saying. The voice of Kahn, a comedian from the Rice Gang, was heard immediately: "Hey, Karim, don't push me! Don't think that just because you are doing well under the new boss, I will bow down to you! I have never been afraid of you before!" Then Karim said coldly: "Yes, you are really not afraid of me. You took the initiative to run to the suburbs not to avoid me, but to enjoy the rural style. I understand." Kahn seemed not to hear the sarcasm in Karim's words, and snorted: "Just know! I remind you that although you are now He is in a higher position than me, but there is an old saying that goes, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the poor in middle age!" "Maybe one day I will be appreciated by your boss, and I will climb over your head the next day. Then you will have to cry and beg me for magnanimity!" Karim was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, and he didn't even waste his saliva to complain. He just pulled the rope: "Okay, come here!" Then, Karim knocked on the office door, and after Li You answered, he pushed the door in.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Kahn closed his chattering mouth and behaved very well. It's a pity that Li You has good hearing. He understood every word of the conversation between him and Karim outside. Karim went out after bringing people in. He was still busy. And Kahn was thrown in front of Li You, and no one untied him. He couldn't stand or sit, and could only show an awkward smile. "Kahn." Li You finally spoke, "You know what I asked you to do, so tell me, what is the specific situation in the suburbs?" Kahn looked at Li You cautiously and said tentatively: "No problem, do you have a map here? I can draw it for you." Li You understood what he meant, so he said: "Okay, turn around and face my left." Kahn did it obediently, and Li You threw a flaming meteor dart, which accurately cut into the knot behind Kahn and cut most of the knot. As for the rest, the flame special effect on the meteor dart ignited the knot. Kahn hadn't felt it at first, but suddenly he felt a burning sensation coming from behind him. He jumped up immediately and kept shouting: "Hot, hot, hot! It's on fire, on fire!" Li You threw a notebook over and hit him in the face, saying: "Okay, it's just the knot on your body that's burned, the fire is out." "I've untied you, take the pen, the map is on the table, draw it." Kahn threw away the remaining ropes on his body, sweat oozing from his head, and looked at Li You with fear. In his opinion, Li You was showing him his strength through some small means and telling him not to play tricks. Kahn was indeed stunned. After all, he didn't know how Li You ignited the knot on his back, and the original little thought was suppressed again. As for Li You... He was looking at the survival skills on the system panel and nodded secretly: "Well, the proficiency has increased by three points, not bad." Kahn took a pen, spread out the map on the table, and after writing and drawing for a while, he brought the map to Li You. "Look, this is the location of the suburbs." Li You took a look and found that the location was consistent with the one marked on the map that Cran got at the beginning of the Believer DLC. He nodded: "It seems that you didn't play tricks, very good."
Kahn's cold sweat immediately came down. He secretly called himself lucky. Li You obviously knew a lot of things, and many of the questions he asked him were to test whether he was telling the truth. This time it was not that he was disillusioned, but Li You did it. Then, Li You pointed to the two winding red lines marked on the map and asked: "So, are these two the roads to the suburbs?" Kahn answered obediently: "Yes. This one on land will pass through the sewer, and it is the first route found by our people." "But this road is too inconvenient. The sewer is narrow and dirty, and after going out, it is a rugged mountain road. It is difficult to send people there on a large scale. "So later, we all used ships to transport people there. This water route is the safe route we explored and will not be attacked by military patrol boats. ” This water route is not in the game, but it is indeed an unexpected gain. Li You nodded with satisfaction. Although he does not have any ships available at present. But the good news is that there will be some soon. The Rice Gang controls the only ships in the slums and the old city, and now they are all docked at the dock in the old city. The operation to recapture the dock is basically carried out at the same time as the operation to retake the institute. This is the first goal of the light guard. The team going to the institute has just set off. As for the dock, the terrain is relatively open and the operation is more difficult, Karim is carefully considering the candidates, so he has not set off yet. It is said that in order to be foolproof, Karim also plans to send a helicopter over. He was busy with this matter just now because he left in such a hurry. "Not bad." Li You praised, "Go on, tell me what the situation is in the suburbs." Kahn replied: "Originally, everything was normal there, no different from the city. ” “The same survivors gathered inside the high walls, the same planes delivered airdrops every day, and the same demons roamed the night sky. ” "The difference is, first of all, there is the Sons of the Sun sect over there, and their leader, 'The Holy Mother,' has a way to prevent people from being attacked by the infected. The survivors in the suburbs basically believe in this sect, and the members of the sect—nameless people, Will receive the highest degree of respect from survivors.” "Secondly, there are surprisingly many night devils over there...the night devils' lairs are all over the ground, and all kinds of night devils come out in groups every night. The scene is really terrifying." Kahn said, and shuddered subconsciously, as if he remembered the appearance of a hundred ghosts walking at night. Li You didn't say anything. What Kahn told was the general situation in the suburbs, which was consistent with the game. But Hassan also mentioned that the "Holy Mother" was crazy and that the situation in the suburbs had changed dramatically from before. If the surface was still as calm as in the game, Hassan would not have said that if Li You left alone, there would be hundreds of night demons surrounding the city in the future. So Li You said again: "I know all this. What I want to ask is, what happened in the suburbs that made you run back in a hurry?" A little cold sweat broke out on Kahn's head and he said, "Yes, don't be anxious, I'll speak slowly." "What I just said was the previous situation. Originally, I took people there to get the elixir from the Sons of the Sun sect. Because we all thought that was the key to preventing people from being threatened by the virus. But who knows... "Ah, anyway, I finally got three elixirs and had them brought back. "At about this time, the Sons of the Sun sect suddenly went crazy. All their followers and survivors were mobilized to search for traces of us throughout the suburbs. "The people under me are all good and honest young men. How could they stand up to that group of vicious wilderness people, so they were beaten back and forth..."
Kahn was speaking with indignation when suddenly a cold light dazzled his eyes, causing him to subconsciously pause and then look towards the source of the light. Li You didn't know when he took a machete with flashing cold light in his hand and played with it casually. The sharp blade radiated a vague coldness in his hand. At first glance, it looked like a vicious blade that had been killing people and drinking blood all year round. Kahn had a good eye and immediately recognized the back-toothed machete that originally belonged to Tahir, the strongest thug of the Rice Gang, and couldn't help but gulp down his saliva. Li You didn't look at him and said calmly: "I like to look at problems from an objective perspective and don't like personal filters." Kahn broke into a cold sweat: "I understand, I understand!" Then he changed his tone and continued: "Which of the Rice gang members under my command is not accustomed to killing people? Logically speaking, those farmers in the suburbs who only know how to farm, hold kitchen knives and pitchforks, and don't even have many guns. How can you beat us?" "But that group of people, led by the Sons of the Sun cultists and under the call of the Holy Mother, rushed forward against our bullets as if they were dying! "With that posture, I even felt that they were not humans at all, but zombies that looked like humans! All of them were fierce and fearless, and they were not afraid of death! "In addition, they had an absolute numerical advantage after all, so in the end, most of my men were killed or injured, and a small number of people protected me and escaped, all the way back to the city." Li You nodded. It seemed that Kahn was telling the truth this time. He then asked: "But among the survivors in the suburbs, not all of them believe in the Holy Mother so devoutly, right? Why are there so many people going crazy to attack you?" Kahn nodded repeatedly: "I said the same thing. ! I thought so too, and some of them were suspicious of Our Lady, but for some reason, these people were so crazy that day!” “I only know that Our Lady seemed to have held a large-scale ceremony that day, not only on their mountain, but also in various settlements, and all survivors were required to participate. "If there was anything wrong, I can only think that the Virgin had tampered with the ceremony." Did the Holy Mother take action? If you put it this way, the only possibility that Li You can think of is the blue elixir. As mentioned before, the blue elixir is a high concentration of Harlan virus. Inhaling the smoke produced by the blue elixir will cause a person to irreversibly transform into a night demon, but the speed will be very slow. Once the infection reaches a certain level, the Sensing Night Demon—the Holy Mother—can communicate with the infected person through telepathy. The key is that in order to be able to hear the message of the Holy Mother, it does not require a complete mutation. In the game, after Crane first arrived at the mountaintop altar of the Sons of the Sun sect and passively inhaled the smoke, he immediately heard the message of the Virgin, and only he heard it. It can be seen from this that most of the suburban farmers who have been inhaling smoke for a long time should be able to receive the telepathic calls from the Virgin. In this way, it would not be too difficult for Our Lady to mobilize the believers' fearless mood. Just, why? Just for the three stolen elixirs? Or is it to drive the Rice gang out of the suburbs? Regardless of the purpose, from the standpoint of Our Lady, it seems that there is no need to be so decisive. The answer to the question cannot be obtained based on current information alone. Li You confirmed a few more details with Kahn, such as when he escaped back to the city, and then obtained the information two days after Les withdrew to the old city. According to Dr. Camden, the night hunter Hassan may have gone to the suburbs at a time or even later. So Kahn didn't know what Hassan saw. He escaped on the day the situation in the suburbs changed, so he didn't know what the situation was there.
After thinking, Li You called out, and the guard at the door came in and took Kahn down. And Li You has already started planning what needs to be done before going to the suburbs. He simply made a list and wrote down the most important goals. For example, take down the research institute, take down the dock, eliminate the remnants of the Rice Gang, take Dr. Ze Lei to the old city research institute, obtain the sample of the fugitive organization, and consider the content of the subsequent negotiations with GRE... These are the strategic policies of the organization. As for himself, he is also busy brushing the survival skill proficiency and getting the grappling hook master skill. In addition, the newly learned strength and agility skills must also be practiced. There are a lot of things to do. Fortunately, Li You doesn't need to do everything himself. His companions and subordinates can help him share his worries to a large extent. This is the purpose of forming the Light Guard. It is definitely unrealistic to ask them to fight the Night Demon Army, but some moderately difficult tasks are still very efficient. Just as Li You was making plans, the radio communication sounded, and the institute had been captured. The team was led by Bracken and Amir, and Rasin was also among them. There were not many remnants of the Rice Gang guarding the institute, and because they were not familiar with the institute, they could not fully play the advantage of fighting at home. Under the instructions of Amir who understood the layout of the institute, they were almost wiped out without making any splashes. Li You was not surprised by this. As for the other side, the battle at the dock was still going on. The largest number of remnants of the Rice Gang gathered at the dock, and this group of people transformed the dock into a fortress. And they seemed to know that mastering transportation during this period was a great advantage, so they tried to occupy two cruise ships and wanted to escape to the sea. Fortunately, the light guards acted quickly enough and intercepted them before this group of people had time to put this suicidal act into action. This team has more people. Martin leads the team below, and Cran, Jed, Dyke and other combatants appear one after another. What's more important is that Yuzu is also standing in the assault team with a sledgehammer and a big shield. Yuzu's weak state has not ended, but he is not afraid at all, and he doesn't want to stay in the radio station to rest. So he carried his equipment and followed Cran and the others. When Yuzu came to the defensive position arranged by the remnants of the Rice Gang under the concentrated fire, and then held the sledgehammer feathers with both hands, and smashed the iron door in the front like hitting a watermelon, all the remnants of the Rice Gang were scared silly. There was no suspense in the next battle. With Yuzu leading the way, the light guards successfully captured two small cruise ships, solved and captured almost all the remnants of the Rice Gang, and only a few of the fastest ones jumped and escaped. Afterwards, Cran also sent a communication to Li You. The battles on both sides were very smooth, and Li You didn't even consider that they would fail. So just now, before the battle at the dock was over, Dr. Zelei, who was still in the slums, had been contacted to prepare him to go to the Old Town Institute. Now, Li You directly assigned the task to the all-purpose tool man Clan, asking him to take a few people and sail to the slums to pick up Dr. Zelei. Although the two ships were small cruise ships that could only carry 20 to 30 people, they were enough for Li You. Now with these two cruise ships, the round trip between the Old Town and the slums has become several times more convenient. Another relatively urgent task was completed, and the next things would not be rushed in a short time. Li You immediately decided to brush up his own skill proficiency first.
As for the method of quickly improving the proficiency of survival skills, Li You also has it. The so-called survival skills are all jobs related to survival except fighting, which can increase proficiency. For example, making weapons and props, building fortifications, scavenging, avoiding zombie attacks, practicing personal skills... and so on. It is also because of its wide range of fields that Li You was able to upgrade its proficiency to the intermediate level so smoothly. You should know that the simple gun mastery skill he obtained at the earliest has not yet reached the intermediate level, and is still at more than 400. And since all behaviors related to survival can increase proficiency, Li You is ready to take out a reward item that has been gathering dust in his backpack for a long time. ——Self-selected auxiliary skill book. The reason why Li You has not used this book is because he has not decided what auxiliary skill to choose. After all, the auxiliary skills it covers are too diverse, and Li You is not sure which one is more suitable for him. But now, after getting a new skill book and unlocking new abilities, Li You finally made a choice. [You are about to use the self-selected auxiliary skill book, please select the auxiliary skill you want to learn. ] "Choose-Forging!" [Auxiliary skill-Forging has been selected. The skill book has been used. 】 [Forging - Primary: Proficiency (0/200)] "Okay, next, let's try blacksmithing." The second update today, 10,000 completed. Thanks to the book friend "Zhu Xia's Nuzhen" for the reward.
