Chapter 157: Chapter 119 Busy_2

The Swallowtail Dart could trace a curve even more beautiful than Carlos’s boomerang. Seeing Lin Wu’s astonishment, Shana couldn’t be more proud and deliberately performed her special move. She threw the dart, and it spun over ten meters away, continuously rotating and flying back like a boomerang. However, Shana’s practice was limited, and as the dart was about to hit Lin Wu, he swiftly used Shana’s arm to block it.

Looking at Lin Wu, Shana pulled the dart out of her arm: "How do you even have a girlfriend?"

Lin Wu wasn’t interested in why he had a girlfriend; he had more questions about the Swallowtail Dart. There were a total of twelve darts, which theoretically shouldn’t get damaged or lost. However, like crossbow arrows, they needed to be manually retrieved after use, which is when tragedies could occur.

For example, if one hit a zombie and then you couldn’t get past the horde, that dart would remain in the zombie. The most likely reason to lose a dart is missing the target, not knowing where it flew off to. After losing a dart, you could forge a new one with two steel pieces, but you could only have a maximum of 12 darts. Swallowtail Darts were exclusive items; others couldn’t use them, nor could they be stored in the warehouse.

Lin Wu looked down at the dart belt on Shana’s waist and began counting the number carefully. Shana quickly turned her waist and covered the dart pouch with her arm: "Let’s go, we should hurry."

Lin Wu curiously asked, "How many are left?"

Shana ran off crying, "5."

Lin Wu exclaimed: "There were 12 yesterday, only 5 left today, you lost 7?"

Shana: "Can you not show off your calculating ability? 12 minus 5 clearly equals 0, I didn’t lose any, hmph."

Lin Wu: "That’s rough!"

Shana: "Don’t talk about it anymore."

Lin Wu said: "I can get 20 pieces of iron for completing this task."

Shana, delighted: "Su Shi could make 4 steel pieces."

Lin Wu: "First I need to see the Swallowtail Dart’s effectiveness in combat."

...

The Swallowtail Dart was highly effective in combat, with an extremely high hit rate. Different from crossbows and firearms, the Swallowtail Dart had a certain level of system correction ability. The dart was supposed to fly past a zombie at a distance of 5 centimeters, but the system could correct it to hit the zombie. Of course, this was only to a certain extent; if a zombie was clearly to the east, and you insist on throwing the dart to the west, hitting it would be a miracle.

Not only practical but also very cool, the Swallowtail Dart could be used with both hands. Shana, like wielding a Gatling gun, swiftly knocked down zombies one after another. But just like the Gatling gun, there were only a few bullets, after firing 5 shots, she had to pull out the hose to deal with the remaining zombies until all were dead before she could retrieve her Swallowtail Darts.

The most interesting aspect was that Swallowtail Darts were exclusive items, and others couldn’t help retrieve them. Lin Wu really liked this rule, recalling the time when he had to pick up arrows while traversing a tunnel with Maya, who had a repeating crossbow.

Speaking of repeating crossbows, Lin Wu asked: "Is the repeating crossbow still being distributed through the turntable at Bai Ban?"

Shana was clever and knew what Lin Wu was getting at, saying: "Everyone thinks it’s pointless to distribute it that way, and Stone also thinks it would be better if the repeating crossbow became someone’s exclusive weapon, making it easier to develop crossbow skills. The problem is deciding who gets it. No one wants to say they want it, but actually, everyone does."

Materials were also a problem; if the weapon was exclusive, the designated person would work overtime to gather materials. Currently, the base only provides 30 crossbow arrows a day, and this could decrease as winter approaches.

The two chatted while walking, arriving outside the Highland Villa. It was the first place they teamed up for a mission, and Shana was quite sentimental about it. Before she could say much, she realized Lin Wu was gone. After looking carefully around, she found that Lin Wu had entered Stealth mode, blending in with the surrounding environment. Because he was 10 meters away, it was really hard to find him without a detailed search.

The more she compared, the sadder she felt!

Their target, Blood Ferocious Ma, was on the third floor of the villa and was stabbed to death by Lin Wu without much resistance. After all, Lin Wu was not afraid of head-on confrontation, let alone when he didn’t play by the rules and resorted to sneak attacks. Searching the body, oh my, another fishing book. Was Dawn increasing the spawn rate of fishing books on purpose, seeing as everyone was struggling to survive the winter?

Downstairs, Lin Wu asked, "Are the materials for the entrenching tool ready?"

Shana sighed with a headache: "Nope."

Lin Wu: "Keep it up."

Shana: "Actual actions would be better."

Lin Wu handed over the fishing book: "Trade it yourself at the market."

After leaving the villa, Lin Wu looked towards the garage, while Shana said on the side: "Already searched."

Lin Wu knew it had been searched. When they visited the Highland Villa the second time, Lin Wu was in low spirits and strolled through the garage and the treehouse with Shana. Now he remembered there were places in the garage they hadn’t searched.

Inside the garage, they saw a pickup truck without an engine. Lin Wu pried open the trunk and found a box of shotgun shells. Then, prying open the doors, he crawled in and only found some snacks after searching for a while.

Shana questioned, "How did you suddenly think of the pickup?"

Lin Wu explained: "When I was in North Town, I went to many garages, and there were hardly any cars inside. The cars that were there weren’t scrapped, but this garage has a scrapped pickup without an engine, which is strange."

The hood was open, and one could see the missing engine at a glance. Lin Wu circled the vehicle, observing and saying, "I got the Silencer from following the clues here. The clue came from the factory, which said that the villa owner was a survival master with military experience. Besides the Silencer, he should have another jeep."

This time, Lin Wu made a mistake. Shana joined Lin Wu in the search for an hour, but they found no clues or leads. On the way back, Shana figured out why Lin Wu found so many things: one reason was obviously good luck, and another was his curiosity.
