Chapter 174: Chapter 125: Green Zombie_3

"Delivery?" Lin Wu asked.

Maya shook her head, Blue Star’s deliveries were all sent by aircraft.

A deliveryman executed a beautiful drift stop with his electric scooter just outside the safe zone, not even glancing at the two of them, turned around, and tossed two boxes out from the delivery compartment behind him. His strength was immense, and the packages flew through the open back door of the base. The deliveryman yelled at them, "Dear, don’t forget to leave a five-star rating!" Without paying attention to the two, who stood there dumbfounded, he was gone in a flash.

Lin Ma returned to the base to find two packages lying on the ground, each bearing the mark of a Bounty Hunter and a label specifying that they were personalized items designated for specific individuals to open. Inside were the rewards for completing their mission the previous night.

Lin Wu opened his package and pulled out three book-sized green loot boxes from a box the size of a single book. Maya’s mission reward was a pill.

"A Power Pill, a permanent boost of one-star strength," Maya was somewhat surprised, "Not bad for a three-star mission reward."

With a casual push, Lin Wu slid the Power Pill toward Maya’s mouth. She gave Lin Wu an angry glance, popped the Power Pill into her mouth, and waited, "No increase?"

Lin Wu, puzzled, picked up a piece of paper from the ground and read, "The Power Pill is for external application."

"What?" Startled, Maya looked at the paper that read: Maya’s personalized item delivered at 9:05. Realizing she had been played, Maya kicked Lin Wu in the shin, and he faked a cry of pain. At that moment, Maya joyfully said, "There it is, gained one star!" The plain act of ingesting the pill was only met with surprise and foreknowledge; the contrast of lost and regained made the experience exciting.

Maya asked, "What did you get?"

Just green loot boxes, Lin Wu nonchalantly opened one without any ceremony and took out a card, "A professional silencer."

A basic silencer had a durability of 6 and couldn’t be repaired. The professional silencer had a durability of 60 and was repairable. Two steel plates were needed to fully repair a professional silencer.

Not bad, at least he wouldn’t have to bother Su Shi to make a silencer; it was better than nothing.

With the Power Pill as a reward, Maya’s interest in Bounty Hunter missions surged a hundredfold. They altered their plan of raiding the Bloodbath Cement Factory and instead spent three hours crawling through the sewers, taking on a mission from the Bounty HQ. By that time, Lin Wu had advanced to a level 4 Bounty Hunter.

The difficulty of level 4 Bounty Hunter missions started increasing. Lin Wu’s was to kill 15 Frenzies, with an unknown reward until he opened the delivery.

Maya was just one mission away from advancing to four stars. The three-star missions were still about bullying regular zombies, or rather any zombies; Maya had to retrieve 30 mission items from the bodies of zombies.

After three hours of back and forth, they returned to the county landmark past twelve at noon. Emerging from the sewers, they immediately felt the chill. Looking up, they saw the sun was nowhere in sight, and snowflakes like bits of fluff were drifting down from the sky. Back at the base and checking the thermometer, they noticed the temperature had plummeted to minus three degrees Celsius.

"I estimate the lowest temperature tonight will reach minus ten degrees," Maya said.

"No problem for us," Lin Wu replied. They could withstand temperatures down to minus twenty degrees. Staying within the safety zone of the base, they could resist temperatures down to minus twenty-five degrees, and if they stayed in their beds at the base, they could survive temperatures of minus thirty degrees. Any colder and they would need to light a fire to avoid frostbite. Frostbite would continuously deplete their health and give them a Vulnerable Buff.

Considering they had big plans for the day, they decided to eliminate four Screamers first, after which Lin Wu, as Quick Gunner, cleared out the zombies inside the supermarket using Lock Head.
