Chapter 184: Chapter 129 Waste City (Part 3)_3

Maya said, "It seems that a player activated the green device when they went to pick them up. From this, it looks like NPC scientists and soldiers aren’t harmed by the green zombies."

Lin Wu asked, "I’ll look again."

The drone’s reconnaissance radius was five kilometers. After searching the area, Lin Wu said, "There’s only this one White Point within a 5-kilometer radius."

Should they move to search elsewhere for the scientists, or go directly to the location of the green device?

Maya asked, "Is there any safer place nearby?"

Lin Wu looked and said, "100 meters north of the green device is a waste transfer station, with no buildings around it. The station has a two-story building, two rooms downstairs, two rooms upstairs, and an external iron frame with a spiral staircase."

Lin Wu had the drone fly back and scout the route. Since they didn’t bring paper and pen, he used a green pea to draw on the dusty ground. Maya frowned upon seeing it: "They’re all dozens of stories of hotels and office buildings; it’s very difficult to go through from the inside. It seems we can only take the road."

Lin Wu said, "I can’t scout the inside of the buildings on both sides of the road, and there are quite a few standing zombies along the way."

Maya said, "Okay, take the road, choose the widest route, and go through in Stealth all the way. If we encounter zombies, we’ll kill them from a distance. We’ll first occupy the transfer station and then check the surroundings. If we still don’t find any scientists nearby, we’ll decide then whether to rescue them."

"Mhm."

"Instances generate shell casings."

"I know."

"I need to collect some shell casings."

...

The two went downstairs and walked in the middle of the road, about 13 meters from the buildings on both sides. If the zombies inside the buildings were right at the entrance, they might detect Maya in Stealth. So it was still up to Lin Wu to take the lead, checking the inside of the buildings on both sides whenever they passed a shop. With no lights inside the buildings, visibility was very low, and Lin Wu could only ensure there were no zombies near the entrances.

They advanced on the road, killing all the zombies they found, whether they were inside the buildings spotted by Lin Wu, or standing motionless on the road. Maya asked for Lin Wu’s dagger and followed him, picking up shell casings and pulling some threads from the headscarf wrapped around her forehead.

Thanks to Lin Wu’s Stealth camouflage, the journey went very smoothly. By about one in the afternoon, the two had taken over the waste transfer station. There were no buildings around the transfer station. Lin Wu went up to the rooftop of the station and shot about a dozen zombies standing near the station.

In a second-floor room, Maya made four rows of simple alarm devices with thread and bullet casings so they could sleep soundly after nightfall when they needed to rest.

After finishing their work, both of them went to the balcony of the corridor on the second floor and observed the situation a hundred meters away through the scope. Lin Wu reported, "No other scientists have been found within a five-kilometer radius."

"Falcon calling Hunter, please respond if you hear this."

Maya answered, "Hunter here, go ahead."

Falcon: "The scientist you rescued provided an important piece of information: Waste City’s zombies are very sensitive to movement."

This was a game reward. For every scientist they saved, the scientist would provide one characteristic of the green zombies. The piece of information provided by Lucy was that green zombies have static vision. Even if players are within 3 meters of a green zombie, as long as they don’t move, the zombie won’t notice them. However, their detection of moving objects and sounds is very sharp.

At a distance of 10 meters, raising your hand may not alert the green zombie, but at 8 meters, raising your hand will definitely get you noticed. A distance of 20 meters is ordinarily safe, but jumping around could also get you detected by zombies.

"Thank you."

Falcon: "Glad to serve, over and out, good luck, and goodbye."

"Goodbye."
