Chapter 125: Chapter 104: Divided Base_2

Lin Wu poked his head out to see, and Little Knife put on a face begging for comfort. Lin Wu put on his hat and performed an expression of anger, asking, "Tell me, who bullied you?"

It turned out that after Snow Egg got up, he heard that Horse Soul had claimed some Crossbow Arrows, so he went to find Horse Soul. Horse Soul returned around six, Snow Egg didn’t. Shana called everyone together and personally went to look for Snow Egg. Snow Egg did come back, but the Sentry Card zombies had already started their shift. The reason, of course, was the Repeating Crossbow. Snow Egg had a good attitude, admitting his mistake and apologizing.

Maya thought that the day shift worked for too long, so she decided to start at 9 am, letting Lin Wu take a short shift to distract the Sentry Card zombies.

Little Knife had been eyeing the Repeating Crossbow since last night, planning to claim it for a two-hour period, but there were no more Crossbow Arrows when it was her turn. She asked Su Shi, and Su Shi told Little Knife that Stone had asked him to hold off on replenishing Crossbow Arrows. Little Knife looked for Stone, and Stone explained to her that there were some issues with the distribution of the Rapid-Fire Crossbows, and she should not claim them for now.

Little Knife sneaked into the production room. Since claiming miscellaneous items didn’t require the Commander’s approval, she quietly made 20 Crossbow Arrows, only to be caught by Su Shi. Su Shi was very angry, saying she had wasted twice the materials. Hence, a wronged Little Knife sought comfort from Lin Wu.

After listening, Lin Wu said, "If I were you, I wouldn’t touch the Repeating Crossbow. As a Brawler, it would be better to take advantage of the game not yet being updated and the sickbed still having the ability to treat virus infections, to go and greet the Blood Zombies."

Little Knife: "Is that how you comfort me?"

Lin Wu asked, "Shall I buy you a bag?" Lin Wu’s bag was a tactical backpack, lightweight by nature, with weapon holders on each side, found on the body of a Blood Plague zombie. Lin Wu didn’t even bother to store it in the inventory, directly replacing his newbie backpack. He always felt a bit guilty about it afterward.

About this, Lin Wu explained to Stone, who expressed disdain for Lin Wu’s act-first-report-later behavior, then told Lin Wu, "It’s enough that you know yourself. Explaining and apologizing to everyone will not raise your moral standing in their eyes; instead, it might have a negative impact."

"You’re not trying hard to console me."

"Hey, we’re brothers, not lovers. Brothers don’t have to console each other." Either grab your weapon and join in, or go get drunk.

Little Knife corrected: "We are ’besties’."

"Ghost and you ’besties’." Lin Wu said, "At worst, I won’t go to Forest Park tonight. I’ll go with you to farm Blood Zombies in the tunnel."

Little Knife smiled gracefully: "Mhm, that works."

Procrastinating day by day, the mystery of the North Lake’s waterfall cave remained unsolved.

Standing outside the wheat field were the two Deputy Commanders, holding a leadership meeting with Stone, who was sitting in the middle of the field. The meeting’s core topic was the Repeating Crossbow. Five people from the day shift all wanted to play with the Repeating Crossbow. Maya and Shana had started with the crossbow path from the beginning, one with a lightweight crossbow, the other with a Composite Crossbow, clearing Silk Road. Night shift’s Lin Wu had no interest in the Rapid-Fire Crossbow; he still preferred his Silencer.

After shooing Little Knife away, Lin Wu stepped outside to see the three leaders in a meeting and shouted from afar: "Watching people poop can give you pinkeye."

This annoyed the three of them, and Stone yelled, "You, come here."

Come over if I have to, you can’t beat me anyway. So Lin Wu went over.

Stone asked, "You’re the only outsider in the base now; what’s your opinion?" Su Shi should make Crossbow Arrows, Stone should make decisions, and the Deputy Commanders also wanted Repeating Crossbows. The only one who didn’t care for Repeating Crossbows was Lin Wu, although he had a hand in extorting them.

"What opinion?"

"The Repeating Crossbow, how should we distribute it?"

Lin Wu said, "Wheel of Fortune, whoever it lands on gets to hold it for one shift or a day, with a limited number of Crossbow Arrows."

After thinking for a while, Stone looked at the two Deputy Commanders: "This method seems like the most reliable one."

Shana nodded, "One strike breaks ten meetings; the simplest and most brutal method often solves the most complicated problems."

Lin Wu thought: That doesn’t seem to be complimenting me.

Maya said, "Lin Wu, we’re planning to set up a sub-base at the hydroelectric station and put all surplus materials into the hydroelectric station. We’re preparing to occupy Left County after winter." The hydroelectric station was only one bridge away from Left County Town. The materials scavenged from the Sentry Card could be traded to the sub-base to deposit into the base’s storage layers.

Lin Wu said, "Last time, you said we were short on manpower."

Maya said, "We are considering two options right now. The first option is for you and Shana to establish the sub-base."

Lin Wu interjected quickly: "I agree to the second option."

Shana angrily kicked Lin Wu’s shin with a flying kick: "That’s too much."

Lin Wu bowed and apologized, explaining, "If we go to build the sub-base, alone together, what would people think? It’s okay if I’m misunderstood."

Stone asked, "You’re worried Shana will be misunderstood?"

Lin Wu shook his head: "No, I’m worried it’s just a misunderstanding. If I ate pork, I wouldn’t mind being scolded, but it would be too unfair to be scolded for eating pork without having eaten it. The worst part is I only want to eat beef..."

Stone exclaimed, "Lin Wu, you’ve learned to criticize indirectly now."

"All thanks to Commander Stone’s good teaching." Lin Wu looked at Shana with an apologetic smile: "Don’t be mad, I’m just afraid of everyone getting jealous. You know your own position in the base, and including Stone, which man doesn’t want to build a sub-base with you alone. Right, Stone?"

"I just mentioned you’re criticizing indirectly, and now you’re pinning that on me." Stone said, "The second proposition, you build a sub-base by yourself. You need to coordinate with the day shift’s time, ensure timely package reception. When going out alone, you can’t exceed a 10-minute trip because you have the task of protecting the base."
