Chapter 166: Chapter 123 M16

Peanut sent over a gray pickup truck, which, compared to the usual pickups, had a slightly higher ground clearance, was lighter in weight, a bit faster, and consumed less fuel.

Everyone shook hands and said their goodbyes outside the safe zone. After driving for a few minutes, Maya was the first to speak up, "Invincible Base is going to disband."

Lin Wu asked, "Because of those things?"

Maya replied, "No, any company or organization that has a majority of people will have factions; sometimes, there will be several factions. They might not sabotage each other or speak ill of each other, but conflicts always arise when it comes to the distribution of benefits. However, internal strife is not the reason an organization goes under; it’s the inability to sustain operations that causes its downfall."

Maya continued, "I think neither Home Game Hunter nor Fishing is the main source of food. Stone’s agricultural knowledge is the real main source of food. Even if we level up to high-level fishing, we can only get 4 units of food per day. With Stone’s basic agricultural skill, we can get 6 units of food. When the base is small and can only cultivate one plot of land, what if we could cultivate two, three, or even four plots? Pure agricultural skills could feed the entire base on their own."

Lin Wu agreed, "There are so many Life Skills. If we allocate some to Fishing, we’ll inevitably lack certain skills at the base. Like our Shadow Base, we can’t spare a doctor profession."

After a long silence, Maya said, "I want to take the Sawmill or the baseball field. The fire station has too few large squares."

Lin Wu said, "If we take over the fire station, we could scavenge the surrounding area for a large amount of food."

Maya said, "The game is constantly updating."

Lin Wu gasped in shock, "You mean food not rotting is also part of beginner’s protection?"

Maya nodded, "Based on the content of the updates, Dawn is slowly making the game more realistic. I think they won’t change the unlimited ammo for firearms because without it, few bases would survive several sieges. On the contrary, food will be updated after the winter, I believe. Do you remember the Fortress Agent mission that every base receives to earn honor points?"

Lin Wu nodded, "It seems like no one really pays attention to that."

Maya said, "One of the biggest uses of honor points is to spend them to contact the Fortress in exchange for the five major resources. There’s also a trading post inside the base buildings where you can trade with NPC merchants. If resources are plentiful, honor points and merchants are completely unnecessary decorations."

After pondering for a moment, Maya said, "The baseball field demands too much from players. After all, it’s a game; we can’t have people on the watchtowers 24/7. The Sawmill might be the best choice. We still need to find a way to get a System Map."

Lin Wu suggested, "Maybe you can get in touch with Nightmare."

Maya replied, "I’ve been waiting for her to come to us and ask for our assistance with a mission."

As they were about to reach the Shadow Base, the system suddenly announced: Supermarket Base’s zombie siege countdown started with 10 minutes to go, siege intensity 6 stars.

"6 stars?" The two exchanged glances and said together, "Oh, 6 stars." As individuals who had witnessed a 6-star siege, they didn’t seem nervous—at least not on the surface—perhaps even a little excited. This was all thanks to Maya’s advance planning and preparations.

...

"6 stars?" Stone was shocked on the spot, "What are you guys usually doing?"

"Screaming, zombies, what else?" Lin Wu said with disdain, unimpressed.

Stone didn’t have time to bicker with Lin Wu, and stuttered, "What do we do?"

Maya looked at the time and said, "Bai Ban and I will go to the supermarket to drive. Stone, you give the Raider to Lin Wu. Shana, being agile, will use the motorcycle to lure away the zombies from the Sentry Cards before heading to the supermarket base. Everyone hurry."

...

Two minutes before the siege, the group arrived at the Supermarket Base. Lin Wu and Maya dismantled the dormitory and infirmary, starting to transport supplies. First, they parked the car in a parking spot, and through warehouse operations, the five major resources could be packed into the trunk. Lin Wu was in charge of managing the five major resources, while Maya transferred items from the storage to the trunk of the car.

With 30 seconds left before the siege, Snow Egg, Horse Soul, Shana, and Little Knife each drove a car out of the Supermarket Base’s safe zone. Little Knife, not having a driver’s license, accelerated too hard and drove the car off the road, crashing into a birch tree. Fortunately, they had already left the supermarket’s safe zone. The others parked their vehicles and returned to help Little Knife lift the car.

The siege had begun. This attack would last 10 minutes, and unlike Invincible Base’s 15-minute 6-star siege, it started immediately with a surge of zombies. More than ten zombies were approaching from all directions. Maya was on the first floor, taking an M4 to hold the passage, while Lin Wu was at the watchtower, using the Frenzy to output crazily for 20 seconds, firing 150 bullets without hitting a single zombie.

"Switch guns," an irritated Maya shouted. That was all she could say while Lin Wu was changing magazines.

In contrast, with Maya’s 41 in hand, she reigned supreme. Before running out of bullets, she would always dodge to the side first, then swiftly reload. Zombies flung themselves at her, one after another falling as she took them down with headshots.

One hundred meters outside the safe zone, Bai Ban found a high point and began to watch the drama unfold.

After switching to the Silencer, Lin Wu started to dominate, shooting almost with deadly accuracy, firing rapidly each time. Maya had already abandoned defending the base and stood at the north gate. Lin Wu took out zombies from the outside, while Maya shot down any zombie that got close to her. When Frenzy came, Maya dispatched it with three quick shots, ignoring it as she turned her gun to blast the head off a zombie two meters to the side, then quickly aimed again at Frenzy and took it down with three precise shots.
