Chapter 480: Chapter 245 Doomsday Fortress_3

"Did you ever pass the flight license test?"

Lin Wu replied, "It was too hard. Not to mention the practical training, I failed the theory part three times alone."

"Did you pass on the fourth try?"

"No, I didn’t have the money to try a fourth time," Lin Wu said. "So, I can somewhat understand Peanut’s thinking."

Maya put away the map she had drawn, sat down, and said, "The sea is even more merciless than Peanut thinks. To be precise, I would rather conduct a rescue mission in space than search for survivors at sea. But a boat is indeed useful."

Maya continued, "Do you see that lighthouse 20 kilometers away?"

"Hmm."

Maya said, "Generally speaking, there are shipping lanes near lighthouses. The design of these lanes usually takes ocean currents into account. If we had a boat, we could stake out near the lighthouse and we might encounter ships that follow the current. Even if we ignore the materials on these ships, just the fuel reserves alone would be enough for us to squander until the servers shut down."

Lin Wu expressed his admiration, "Go big or go home, right? But why don’t you set your sights on oil tankers? If we randomly got an oil tanker, we could play with fire every day."

Maya did not pick up Lin Wu’s banter, "Do we have a target for tomorrow’s activity?"

Lin Wu said, "No target, just pure flight."

During the event, players could float up to a hundred meters in the air and wander across the entire server. However, there were restrictions. For example, if your base was the Mountain Top Church Base, then sorry, you wouldn’t be able to see the city. If your base was the Meteorological Station Base, you could fly above the city, but you could only see other bases similar to the Meteorological Station Base.

The Shadow and Doomsday bases had fewer restrictions, especially the Doomsday Fortress, which was a large base. Members of Doomsday could discover all system-recommended bases except for the super-large ones.

If they identified a base that could be swapped with their own, they could immediately go back to their base to make the swap. There was only one chance, and it operated on a first-come-first-served basis.

...

As night fell, the four members of the Doomsday Fortress felt the quietness of understaffing for the first time. Because of the level difference, the whole base seemed very quiet, and it was hard to even get a glimpse of a person. Unlike at the Sawmill, where the view was clear, and it was hard not to see people.

However, the fortress formed of brilliantly lit shipping containers provided a comforting contrast to the dark and unknown outside, bringing an indescribable sense of safety and comfort.

Here, there was no need to worry about zombies breaking into the home, and one could even turn off the intrusion alarms. After comprehensively understanding the situation at the Doomsday Fortress, Maya placed four land mines on South Gate Seawall Road and canceled the night shifts.

The seawall road was 100 meters long, 50 meters of which was a safe zone where zombie activity at night was halved. Normally, the chance of a randomly wandering zombie walking 50 meters in a straight line was not high. Even if a zombie made it to the south gate, it would need to bang on the gate to enter.

Even if everyone slept like pigs and didn’t hear the sound of the metal door being hit, and a zombie successfully entered the Doomsday Fortress, it would still need to find its way. The layout was in the shape of the character for "return," with iron sheet staircases in the four corners.

If a zombie was lucky enough to find the iron staircase and no one was disturbed by the clanging noise it made while climbing, it could successfully reach the second-floor corridor bridge. Since it was not a Siege Zombie, it could not destroy structures and could not directly break into the dormitory. Its biggest impact would be startling the players. And all this would have to be predicated on cutting off Wai’s nose.

After thorough consideration, Maya determined that there was really no need for night guards at the Doomsday Fortress.

Deep into the night, the four who had been basking in the moonlight with a dog, contemplating the darkness, chatting and playing poker, each returned to their dormitories.
