Chapter 577 - 284: Shipyard Base
The girl’s name is Hong Yi, and she has lived in South City of Technology City, Left County, North Town since birth, knowing the local situation like the back of her hand. Her Life Skills evolved from Fishing: Fisher.
The two boys, similar to Maya and Lin Wu, are newcomers from eight months ago, both having died at the hands of zombies.
The first boy is named Qinglang, like Lin Wu, a fresh college graduate, with Life Skills upgraded from a chef to a nutritionist. The food he cooked could increase the servings by 25%.
The second boy is named Shuihua, twenty-seven years old, pursuing a medical doctorate and also a first-aid doctor. He is the general practitioner of the Night Moon base.
Night Moon is a base utterly different from Shadow, or it could be said that the situation in Technology City is vastly different from Future City. In Future City, players’ biggest threat comes from zombies, but resources are relatively abundant. There’s plenty of wood in the mountains that can be converted into building materials, one can hunt, farm outdoors, fish in rivers, and drive fish into enclosures at the sea.
In Technology City, or at least its towns, people don’t have to worry too much about the threat of zombies. Their daily focus is on survival, with life largely detached from town. North Lake, with its abundance of resources, becomes their security for survival. Since the entire group follows the same path, it leads to them having very low armament levels and they are incapable when faced with zombie sieges.
However, they have their own strategy, known as Qiankun Big Move. They prepare two bases in advance. Whenever Base A receives a siege alert, they use the 10-minute preparation time to move supplies to Base B or somewhere outside Base A. When zombies dismantle the base and the siege ends, they can consider settling in Base B or moving back to Base A.
This is one of the reasons they need allies. When the Night Moon base is under attack, they can transport their supplies to the Lin Ma base. If the Lin Ma base is attacked, Lin Ma can move their supplies to the Night Moon base. The advantages of this tactic are obvious, with only construction materials being lost. There are birch forests along the road, and Windbreak Woods one kilometer away; tree felling can be exchanged for building materials.
As long as they work hard without pursuing a high quality of life, Qiankun Big Move is a very good strategy to deal with zombie sieges. It’s not a method they came up with, but what locals do. One of the main reasons is the vast land with sparse population; buildings are spaced too far apart, making scavenging difficult, leading to a severe scarcity of bullets. The three of Night Moon each have an assault rifle, but together they only have thirty bullets.
