Chapter 192: Chapter 133 Waste City (Seven)_2

The last assembly point is at the city hall, 12 kilometers away from the second assembly point.

After Maya finished reading, Sunlight asked, "Cooperate?"

Lin Wu: "Cooperate my chicken leg."

Maya: "I want command."

Yellow Hair was reluctant at the time, "I listen to my boss, my sister-in-law, and my little sister, but why should I listen to you?" Sunlight agreed without hesitation, "Okay."

Maya asked, "What are your weapons and skills?"

As Starlight explained, they had two MP40 submachine guns but lacked shooting experience. Yellow Hair and Fire Dance used small pistols; Fire Dance had joined a university shooting club before and had some experience with pistol shooting.

"What about you?" Yellow Hair asked.

Maya answered: "Repeating crossbow and bolt-action rifle."

Yellow Hair asked with a laugh, "You think you can lead us with that kind of firepower?"

Maya said, "Just quietly follow us."

Sunlight stopped Yellow Hair from retorting and said, "Rest. We set off at dawn."

...

The people from Starfire Base finally saw Lin Wu. Lin Wu was dressed in a set of gray-white camouflage, wearing a beanie, with a mask covering his face, and also wore a pair of sunglasses. Although his features were not visible, he looked particularly cool, causing Sunlight to ask a few more questions: where did the clothes come from? The sunglasses?

Maya answered them one by one, and the people from Starfire Base learned that there was the skill of tailoring. Starlight reached out, "Little brother, thank you for yesterday."

Lin Wu nodded and shook hands with Starlight. Meanwhile, Maya explained, "Social anxiety disorder, doesn’t like talking, and is particularly childish."

The group had already eaten breakfast, and Lin Wu also came over after eating breakfast. After some pleasantries, Sunlight said, "Let’s set off."

Maya called, "Marlon."

Lin Wu nodded and with a wave of his hand, a drone flew up from his backpack, drawing envious glances.

Lin Wu told everyone to stay put while he led the way forward. After walking more than ten meters, Lin Wu went into stealth mode: "The depth of the lake is unknown, but there are no zombies in it."

Maya asked, "Can you all swim?"

All four nodded.

Maya said, "There are no zombies in the lake, the straight-line distance is 100 meters, the detour is 1.2 kilometers. I suggest crossing over the lake."

Hearing no objections from Maya, Lin Wu put away the drone and entered the water, which was colder than he had expected. Then Lin Wu released the drone again, and after making a turn along the left shore, he decisively left the water and crouched, using the bushes to quickly make his way to the left bank.

Maya, thinking Lin Wu had already entered the water, led the four into the water as well. As they all entered, everyone shuddered from the cold. Maya naturally did not complain, and the four behind, not wanting to be looked down upon, kept silent and clenched their teeth as they walked into the water. The lake was only one meter six deep and not difficult to ford, but less than halfway through, they couldn’t help but tremble, and even Maya was no exception. After all, clothing is insulating because of the air, not water.

Meanwhile, relying on the reconnaissance drone, Lin Wu ran and fought his way quickly to the opposite shore of the lake. At this time, the five were still 30 meters from the shore. The slow pace was not just because of walking in water, but also because the lakebed was covered in smooth stones, with occasional undercurrents tossing them around.

Starlight said in admiration, "Maya, your brother is really amazing. There hasn’t been a ripple in the water on the way, and he’s just silently crossed over."

Maya also found it strange; how did this guy get across, she asked, "Brother, where are you?"

Lin Wu stood up, canceled stealth, and appeared on the opposite river bank with a gun in hand. Maya was astonished to see that only his shoes were wet—could it be he walked on water to get here? Now wasn’t the time to ask. She continued to support Starlight while Starlight’s husband Sunlight protected his sister Fire Dance. And Yellow Hair? Since Fire Dance refused Yellow Hair’s help, he had no one to assist.

This was about decisiveness; with no zombies in the lake, he suggested fording it. Upon discovering the icy water, Lin Wu quickly changed strategy. But for the sake of pride, for the supermarket’s pride, for Shadow’s pride, he chose to go the hard way and run 1.2 kilometers alone.

Wet clothes needed time to dry, and seeing that everyone was freezing, Lin Wu found some dry branches at the edge of the woods and started a fire. Everyone sat around the fire and immediately warmed up. Starlight, seeing Lin Wu standing to one side, asked, "Marlon, how did you get here?"

Lin Wu, pretending to be busy, asked Starlight to wait as if following the drone into the woods. Maya couldn’t help but chuckle, your drone is still hanging on your backpack.

Lin Wu did not return, and only a few scattered zombies were present in the woods. He made his way through the woods and reached the slum: "Straight through the woods."

Maya asked, "Do you see the slums?"

"Hmm," Lin Wu answered through gritted teeth, "This is a road to hell."

The slum had three types of roads: one that barely allowed for passing cars, another only suitable for motorcycles and bicycles, and a third that was a narrow staircase path just for walking. The dense, low-lying, dilapidated buildings were like a chaotic pile of garbage.

The number of zombies could be described as vast, not to mention whether there were zombies inside the buildings, but the streets were filled with them. Lin Wu could look up and see the first assembly point, which was at the highest point of the slums, a white high-end villa. According to the manual, there was a road to the right of the villa that led to District 11 of the city, with the second assembly point in District 11.

Lin Wu and Maya had been dropped off in District 4 and had been operating between District 4 and 3. To get to District 11 without going through the assembly points, they had to cross several districts. Even so, Lin Wu felt it was more reliable to go through several districts rather than directly to the first assembly point.
