Chapter 190: Chapter 132 Waste City (Six)_2

"Hit." Lin Wu watched as the zombie’s head exploded and it fell to the ground, then he turned his gaze to a room five meters away, where four people remained motionless. Since they had cleared the nearby zombies, the sound of the zombie falling did not attract the attention of others. Lin Wu asked, "How do you calculate that?" During the day, he could feel that this damn place was different from home; at home, you only had to consider the bullet’s speed, not temperature, humidity, and wind direction.

Maya turned on the flashlight and used a can of beans to make a target, "First consider recoil. The recoil of the Silencer can be almost ignored because the bullets are lightweight and move slowly, so when shooting targets a hundred meters away, there will be a slight drop..."

In the end, Maya said, "This calculation result is only applicable to your gun, this distance, this elevation, and this wind speed. If any one of these variables changes, the result will change too... wake up..." After saying this and not receiving a reply, she shone the flashlight and saw that Lin Wu had fallen asleep at some point.

Lin Wu woke up, looked around, then at Maya: "I see, I’ve got it."

"Pretending to know something when you don’t, a good-for-nothing for life." Maya said, speechless.

"As a team, knowledge needs to be shared." Lin Wu looked towards where Sunlight was hiding; Starlight stepped out of the room, glanced left and right, saw nothing, and then went back inside. Starlight lifted Sunlight’s arm and nestled into Sunlight’s embrace. Lin Wu aimed at Sunlight and said softly, "piu."

After being childish for a moment, another zombie appeared. Lin Wu asked, "Maya, is it still the top right corner?"

Maya replied, "Correct to the left a little bit."

Lin Wu said, "Kill."

Maya said, "Remember the consultation fee."

"Hehe, you’re getting more and more humorous. Strange, the frequency of zombies appearing is starting to increase." Lin Wu saw another zombie appear at the stairwell and shot it down with one bullet: "Being a sniper feels pretty good."

Maya said, "On the real battlefield, you’d already be dead if you shot like that."

Lin Wu asked, "Why would that be?"

Maya said, "In the year 2044, soldiers in many countries’ Fungus Teams were equipped with anti-sniper headsets. The sound picked up by the headsets can use the Triangular positioning method to roughly lock onto the sniper’s location. Then using mortars, artillery, or air force support, they could take care of the sniper."

Lin Wu sought clarification, and Maya explained the triangular positioning. The AB headsets at either end of the trench both received the sound of gunfire, and the software would compare the sounds. A triangle would form between AB and the sniper, from which the sniper’s location could be calculated.

Maya said, "Once the sniper is roughly located, the danger increases significantly. That’s why snipers have to change their position after every shot."

The frequency of zombies approaching started to rise. Maya had just finished explaining when Lin Wu killed another zombie. Lin Wu said, "It’s no use just defending here."

Maya nodded in agreement.

Lin Wu said, "They’re not paying us, why should I help them keep watch through the night?"

Maya looked at Lin Wu, "It seems we have quite the disagreement in our understanding of things."

Lin Wu asked, "Solving the problem can resolve the disagreement."

Maya said, "Give them a shot."

Lin Wu grinned slyly, aimed at Sunlight’s head, then swung to Yellow Hair, thought for a moment, then swung back to Sunlight, then aimed at Yellow Hair again...

Maya was puzzled; wasn’t this guy very decisive usually?

Lin Wu’s thoughts: Settle personal scores, annoyed with Yellow Hair, settle personal scores, annoyed with Yellow Hair...

He had an idea! Lin Wu shot and hit Yellow Hair’s lower body, quickly worked the bolt of the rifle, and then blew off a piece of Sunlight’s ear, unable to resist praising himself: "I’m just too accurate."

Maya, who couldn’t see, asked, "Did the first shot miss?"

Looking through the scope, Lin Wu watched Yellow Hair clutching his lower body with one hand while taking painkillers with the other, and said with glee, "No."

All this commotion woke the four of them up. They still had tactical discipline; they crouched by the wall as their first response. Seeing Yellow Hair eating painkillers, Sunlight waited a few seconds, planning to pull Yellow Hair to the wall’s edge. But the next second, the painkillers were shot out of his hand by Lin Wu, and Yellow Hair could do nothing but bear the excruciating pain as he clenched his teeth and crawled to the wall side.

Lin Wu, infuriated, immediately made a system complaint.

Little White Rabbit appeared, and Lin Wu said, "I hit his sensitive part; how can he bear it?"

Maya was stunned; what kind of complaint was that? Did he think the opponent wasn’t in enough pain?

With an even tone, Little White Rabbit explained, "There is a threshold for pain, so in the game, you won’t see anyone passing out from pain."

Lin Wu disagreed, "Shouldn’t the most realistic sense of pain be enabled to give players the most authentic experience?"

"Little White Rabbit replied, "That shouldn’t be so. And I must also warn you that your behavior is suspect of abuse."

Lin Wu said, "Goodbye."

"Goodbye." Little White Rabbit politely returned the farewell and then vanished.

"Damn Dawn," Lin Wu cursed under his breath.

Maya sat to one side, not wanting to speak. She had completely given up on the Juvenile Ghost and asked, "How are things on the other side?"

Lin Wu observed for a while, "They’ve found the zombies, they’ve eliminated the zombies, they’re cleaning up and preparing to retreat, they’re looking our way... Fuck, they’re not eyeing the signal tower too, are they?"

With a hint of schadenfreude, Maya said, "Maybe they’re planning to come over and thank you."

Lin Wu looked at Maya, "You’re actually taking pleasure in others’ misfortune."

Maya responded, "The only thing that can defeat magic is magic." The longer she hung out with Lin Wu, the more she felt like an old friend, long past the initial reserve and intentional distance. It’s the same with boyfriends and girlfriends. At first meeting, a girl is delicate and demure, but after getting married, she becomes as unrefined as a man picking his feet. During a courtship, one tries to hold in even a fart, but after marriage, you almost wish you could blast it right in their face.

However, at that moment, the group making a temporary retreat encountered trouble. They ran into zombies around the corner. Although they fought off the zombies, the melee combat drew in more nearby zombies. Facing a pursuit by a dozen zombies, they had no choice but to use firearms.

Starlight and Sunlight were using submachine guns with a high rate of fire and decent firepower. However, the guns lacked killing power, and shots that didn’t hit the zombies in the head did minimal damage.

Seeing their situation, Starlight ordered Fire Dance and Yellow Hair to retreat first, insisting on retreating while firing back. But Fire and Yellow were loyal and didn’t abandon them, instead taking out their pistols.

The Ocean Fleet provided professional silencers, but the purpose of a silencer was merely to reduce noise, not eliminate it entirely. Because the Silencer, used by Lin Wu, was not very loud to begin with, its range of impact was quite small after fitting the silencer. Regular firearms, however, were different—even submachine guns equipped with silencers could affect an area within twenty meters.

The battle had just started when zombies from the surroundings began to swarm in like a rolling snowball. The worst part was that zombies began to appear along their retreat route, moving in to encircle them. Lin Wu was highly efficient, knocking down the zombies closing in on them with a rate of two shots per zombie.

Maya said, "I’ll go get them."

"Yeah... go ahead." Not letting Maya go would make him seem cowardly.

The retreat of the four was slow, and the number of surrounding zombies began to increase. When Maya reached twenty meters from them, she used the Repeating Crossbow to pick off zombies, shouting, "Alternate retreat!"

Sunlight said, "You three go."

Yellow Hair said, "Big Brother."

Sunlight snapped, "Go."

Yellow Hair, filled with tears, said, "Yes, Big Brother."

Maya went to meet the three, grabbed Starlight, and said, "Sunlight, pull back."

Sunlight turned and ran, zombies chasing behind him and vaulting over the bodies of their fallen companions. Lin Wu shot the zombie closest to Sunlight, and Maya flanked from the side, firing at the zombies chasing after Sunlight. Starlight wanted to help, but Sunlight was blocking his line of fire, so he hurriedly maneuvered to the other side for a clear shot.

In haste, Maya said, "Don’t go over there."

Maya was on the open road, while Starlight was beside a row of buildings. Perhaps Maya’s voice was too loud, or perhaps the zombies had seen Starlight, for several zombies from the second floor leaped down. Fire Dance wanted to assist Starlight, Sunlight’s shooting range was blocked by Starlight, and Maya was still dealing with the oncoming zombies. The scene was chaotic.

Maya ordered, "Everyone, run full force towards the signal tower."

The others hesitated, but Sunlight said, "Run."

Everyone took off running, but as their speed picked up, their endurance quickly waned, and they couldn’t shake off the green zombies chasing after them. At that moment, Lin Wu, from the signal tower, went on a killing spree, taking down the pursuing zombies with the efficiency of two zombies with three shots at a distance of forty meters.

Seeing this, Maya stopped and ordered everyone else to retreat stealthily, while she and Lin Wu dealt with the pursuing zombies.

With the Repeating Crossbow in Maya’s hands, it was like an extension of her limbs, her shots exploding the zombies’ heads. In less than ten seconds, Lin Ma had cleared the scene of chasing zombies, and quiet returned. The nearest zombie was now more than fifteen meters away, having lost track of their position.

Maya turned and stealthily withdrew. Sunlight and the others halted and waited. When Maya approached, she said, "Hold on a moment, my brother Marlon is setting up a sentinel position nearby."

Everyone turned to look towards the signal tower, only to see a masked man swiftly slide down the ladder and then enter a stealth mode, disappearing from their sight.

Suppressing a laugh, Maya said, "Let’s go."
