Chapter 113: Chapter 100 Night Chase

Shana drove the Overlord up to the high ground, and everyone got out of the car and walked to the edge of the highlands. Three hundred meters away from them, a Titan was chasing a pickup truck.

Sitting in the bed of the truck, Maya raised her gun and fired, one shot to the head, one shot blown away, one shot hitting the chest. The Titan roared and ran, while Maya smashed the hood with her left fist and Lin Wu sped up the pickup. The Titan ran for twenty meters and slammed its fists into the ground with great momentum, alas for a lonely hit.

Maya took the opportunity to shoot continuously in groups of three without stopping, and as the distance between them narrowed to ten meters, her headshot rate greatly increased, causing the Titan to stagger for the first time. The Titan pursued again, and Lin Wu accelerated. Since he hadn’t gained enough speed, a zombie grabbed the car door, Lin Wu drove with his left hand, and blew the zombie’s head off through the window with the Silencer in his right hand.

The Titan ran, smashed, and chased, ran, smashed, and chased...

Before long, the Titan staggered for the fourth time, stumbling backward, marking the best moment to kill the Titan. But just then, the Raider jammed, and Maya immediately manually repaired the Raider, quickly disassembling the gun before reassembling it. Lin Wu maintained the distance from the Titan, circling the pickup in the wilderness. Although some zombies gathered, they were quickly left behind due to their speed. More troublesome were the two Frenzies relentlessly pursuing from both sides.

Maya smashed the hood, and Lin Wu immediately switched from circling to driving in a straight line, causing the Titan to pursue straight on. Three sets of nine bullets, six headshots, making the Titan stagger. Maya focused and continued firing, and the Titan’s head burst open after being hit by three 7.62mm bullets, the once invincible Titan crashing down mightily.

Maya smashed the hood twice, Lin Wu braked hard to stop the pickup, and got out, immediately facing the Frenzies. Too close to shoot, Lin Wu stabbed a Wind Stinger into a Frenzy’s back, the creature turned its head, and Lin Wu plunged a dagger into its head. Seizing its dizziness, he grasped its neck with one hand and mercilessly stabbed it with the dagger in the other. He lifted his left hand and slapped a Beast Trap onto the charging Frenzy’s head, pinning it to the ground for another round of stabbing.

Maya, rather than helping Lin Wu deal with the Frenzies, ran to the Titan’s corpse as fast as she could, quickly killing two zombies before starting to loot the corpse.

seconds later, Lin Wu reversed the truck to Maya’s side, and Maya got a Skill Book and a 5.56mm bullet press modulator.

Health Studies: The base members’ infection resistance increased by 50%, personal life limit increased by 20 points.

The two high-fived in celebration, got back in the car, and drove away.

It was a decent haul, but the cost wasn’t small—Maya had used up 80 bullets. By Maya’s estimation, 30 bullets for headshots, 30 bullets hit, and 20 bullets missed. Unfortunately, it was regrettable that the modulator was for 5.56 caliber and not 7.62 caliber.

"Now I understand why the ’death penalty’ skill resets to zero," said Maya. "I used to think it was a severe punishment, but now I know that compared to skill reset, random respawn points are the worst punishment."

Lin Wu asked, "Is a skill reset not terrifying?"

"It’s terrifying," responded Maya. "But skills don’t add much to firearms."

"I disagree," Lin Wu said. "I think cold weapons will dominate for a long time. It took 80 bullets just for one Titan, and those are 7.62mm bullets, not .22 bullets."

Maya thought for a moment, then nodded, "We need a base that can sustainably produce ammunition packs." Just like a car repair shop that can produce gasoline every day.

"Hey, you’re not getting addicted, are you?" Lin Wu, who loves to play, saw from Maya’s expression that she was planning to play very seriously. There was a big difference between the two. For example, fishing for Lin Wu was a hobby, an interest, and even if he caught nothing he could enjoy himself. For Maya, fishing was more than just an interest. She wouldn’t accept catching nothing and would try to catch the most fish possible. For Lin Wu, playing was first and foremost about enjoyment, following one’s desires, and valuing the process over the outcome.

"I’m just envisioning the best options for the future," Maya said. Bullets are too precious. For the 5.56mm press modulator, one unit of ammo resources could only make 3 bullets. An ammo pack could only make 12 bullets, and Su Shi’s double intelligence bonus was ineffective in making ammo, one needs to have Ammunition Skills to make more bullets with the same resources.

This was the advantage of .22 firearms. Although .22 firearms have very low lethality, one ammo resource could make 10 bullets, which was also the important reason why Lin Wu could take the Silencer with him.

"Isn’t that the Overlord?" Lin Wu saw the Overlord coming down from a side road, pulling over to park.

The Overlord parked side by side, and Maya reminded Bai Ban in the Overlord, "In 20 minutes, the zombies at the Sentry Card start their shift."

Little Knife glared at Lin Wu, "You didn’t include me in the fun."

"Next time," Lin Wu smiled.

"When is next time?" Little Knife asked.

"When we have bullets," Lin Wu replied. "Let’s go back and switch for the motorcycle."

"Oh," Little Knife responded with a huff.

Shana asked, "Did you get anything?"

"We got a 5.56mm bullet press modulator and a Health Studies Skill Book," said Lin Wu.

Not bad," nodded Shana.

"Yeah, just a bit costly. Let’s go," he waved to everyone and drove off.

...

Switching to the motorcycle to go to the tunnel, Lin Wu and Maya once again started their slashing journey. At eleven in the morning, Stone initiated a video call, and the two took the opportunity to rest a bit, finding a place to sit in the train.

Stone got straight to the point, "I just contacted Bai Ban, and overall morale is not high."

"What happened?" asked Maya.
