Chapter 210: Chapter 141 Continuous Sleep

Only the last container was left, and this one clearly wasn’t ordinary. While the other containers were marked with 1, 2, 3, this one was oddly labeled with a 4. Listening so earnestly to someone’s bullshit for the first time, Shana couldn’t stop laughing as she threw a flurry of eighteen kicks towards Lin Wu.

Inside container number 4 were all cardboard boxes. Shana was very interested in opening these mystery boxes. Lin Wu was in charge of holding them, and she was in charge of opening: "Bedding, towels, daily necessities... and shampoo, nice."

Lin Wu said, "Pack up anything you like. Who knows if they’ll disappear."

Shana said, "Items verified by the system, once moved, will only respawn after the player leaves a certain range. Toothpaste, toothbrushes..."

All the way down, it was all daily necessities. Hope dimmed as each cardboard box was opened. But when the last box was opened, Shana cheered happily, and Lin Wu hurriedly came over to see; it was a box of disinfectant. Shana declared, "I win." There were no valuables.

Tch! Had thought there would be valuables found.

Without reason, Dawn wouldn’t have actually placed items in the four containers; if it was to divert attention, why not just leave them empty? Based on what Lin Wu knew about Dawn, it liked to mislead while flaunting its AI intelligence: "Stupid humans, I did give you things; it’s just that you can’t find them."

Standing in the darkness, Lin Wu shone a flashlight over the four containers, with Shana standing at his side: "Accept it, you’ve lost. Maybe there were valuables, but they’re already taken by someone else."

Lin Wu didn’t answer; he looked around. A few dozen square meters of building divided into three rooms: a lounge, dormitory, and command room. Two cannons. And then there were the four containers. Beyond that, there was nothing else. The only building’s three rooms had been turned inside out, and the zombies carried no special items.

Lin Wu asked, "Did you just say that items would respawn after players leave a certain range?"

"Yeah, you should know that."

Lin Wu certainly knew, he had played gate-blocking at the supermarket base. Lin Wu continued, "All three rooms are a mess, dormitory bedding and clothes were thrown on the floor, lockers have been pried open. If it was done by players, why haven’t they respawned?"

Shana found it interesting: "NPCs finding the zombies could have caused chaos, with some looking for weapons and others grappling with the zombies, leading to the rooms being a complete mess."

Lin Wu added, "Why pry open the lockers? Why all of them? Why are all the lockers wide open? Could it be that the commander’s weapon is in one of the lockers, since he also stayed in the dorm?"

Shana said, "But all 7 lockers are either open or ajar; it’s impossible for them to hide anything."

Lin Wu called Shana over to the dormitory: "8 beds, 8 zombies, 7 lockers."

The dorm was cramped, with the lockers placed in the corner. After Lin Wu shared his thoughts, and Shana searched carefully, she made a big discovery: "Look at the floor." There was a white mark on the ground.

Lin Wu and Shana pushed a locker to the left together, precisely covering the white mark. At that moment, a locker embedded in the wall corner appeared. Lin Wu: "Dishonorable Dawn, using a locker to hide another locker."

Shana took out her pry bar, her weapon of choice, and said, "Lin Wu, shall we make a different bet on what’s inside the locker?"

Lin Wu refused: "No need." Why bet on a sure win?

"Cheapskate." Shana put forth some strength, and the locker door was pried open. This locker was quite large, with clothes and other items on the bottom, and on the top, there was a camouflaged assault rifle. Shana’s eyes and mouth turned into O shapes: "Oh."

"A lightweight SCAR!" Lin Wu reached for the rifle, glanced at it, and thought it looked like standard issue. Why hadn’t he heard of its name before? The gun’s data wasn’t bad, it used the same 5.56 bullets as the M16 and 41, and its performance was similar in all aspects. It was lighter, shorter, and quieter. Moreover, it was equipped with a foldable stock.

In the system’s description, the SC had a unique disadvantage. Regular firearms with decreasing durability can jam but can be manually repaired, restoring some durability. The SC could also be manually unjammed, but would not restore durability; it had to be repaired in a workshop, costing twice the materials than normal firearms.

Shana looked through an instruction manual she found in the locker for a while, then said, "The name of this gun comes from the first letters of its full name, Special Forces Combat Rifle. The biggest drawback of this gun is that it’s expensive, which is why it’s only equipped by elite troops from various countries. Many countries prefer the AR series of rifles. What’s the AR series?"

Lin Wu thought for a moment: "AR is the augmented reality, like the AR helmets used for playing games. The AR series rifles refer to guns that can only be used with specialized combat helmets."

Shana stared at Lin Wu for a long time: "I don’t believe it." If she remembered correctly, virtual game helmets were called VR.

Lin Wu admitted: "I don’t believe it myself."

Faced with such a person, Shana could only rub her forehead in silence. Lin Wu handed her the rifle: "You use it."

"What about you?"

Lin Wu took out Silencer: "My heart is eternal." With two long guns available, he had to let Shana have one. Bullets were scarce, the SC couldn’t be taken out, it could only be used for home defense.

Besides the SC, there was also a metal box in the locker with a Female Demon Revolver inside. Its biggest feature was that it used .22 bullets, nothing else noteworthy. Although revolvers don’t have durability and won’t break, they are quite cumbersome to reload. Normal pistols could be loaded quickly with a magazine, 20 rounds at once, but revolvers not only require a special loader but also take twice as long to load only 6 or 8 rounds.
