Chapter 213: Chapter 142 Skiing Lesson_2

Lin Wu asked, "Do you know how to ski?"

Shana replied, "Of course, but my snowboard is at Shadow Base."

Lin Wu said, "Good, I’ll be right back. Put your gun away so we don’t have to explain its origins when we get to the base."

Shana said, "The SC gun stock can fold, I can just put it directly into my backpack."

"Ok." As long as no one sees it.

...

Back at the supermarket base, Shana rode her bike with Lin Wu in tow, and they quickly reached Shadow Base. Some changes had occurred at Shadow Base since Stone had converted a warehouse into a dormitory and turned the outdoor barracks into guard towers. Maya used the guard towers to train Bai Ban in firearms.

If there weren’t enough zombies, then stones would suffice, not Great Commander Stone, but actual stones on the ground. When Lin Wu and the others arrived, Little Knife was doing push-ups under the watchtower. They found out that she had hit the 30-meter-distant stone only three times out of ten shots, placing her last and being punished with 100 push-ups.

However, Little Knife was not alone, Snow Egg was there with her. It seemed that the misunderstanding over Snow Egg’s drunkenness had ignited the flame of love between them. Or maybe it’s just that love really can’t be explained by logic.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Maya took out wooden and bamboo skis from the warehouse and used the slope from the mountaintop church to the entrance to teach everyone how to ski. Shana, feeling smug for a while, soon joined the ranks of instructors.

"Move!" Lin Wu shouted as he sped straight down from the slope top. Little Knife lifted her left foot and took a step on the spot with her ski, about to be knocked over by Lin Wu. Bravely, Snow Egg hit Little Knife from the side, causing Snow Egg to fall onto the ground herself. Lin Wu’s skis crashed onto Snow Egg’s chest, and then he toppled head over heels, tumbling three times before crashing onto the highway.

Looking back, Lin Wu saw Little Knife and Snow Egg checking on each other, so he had no choice but to waddle back. Maya took a megaphone and yelled, "Lin Wu, ski, ski back down, use your ski poles, don’t walk."

Lin Wu clumsily used the skis to climb up the slope. Hearing a caution from above, he saw Horse Soul directly sliding down. In that moment, Lin Wu remembered Tom Cat. In such a situation, Tom Cat would lift its own groin to let Horse Soul slip under... Just as he had that thought, Lin Wu collided with Horse Soul, and both of them tumbled onto the highway.

"I’m not doing this anymore." Annoyed, Lin Wu threw his ski poles and trudged back to the starting point.

Horse Soul repeatedly apologized, and Lin Wu, not wanting to be petty, quickly said it was alright, and the two novices helped each other stand up. Just as they managed to climb halfway up the slope, Shana came hurtling down, scaring them pale. But as the sound of her silver bell-like laughter followed, Shana swerved around them with an S-turn and sleekly shot down the slope.

Lin Wu shouted, "I want to take the cable car." No sooner had he spoken than his feet slipped and his head burrowed into the snow. Is this really meant for humans?

Shana quickly returned to Lin Wu’s side: "You need to twist your body, use the power from your waist, don’t just rely on your hands foolishly."

Whatever you say, Lin Wu held out his hand, Shana cooperated and pulled him up. Once Lin Wu was ready, she demonstrated in front of him: "Climbing up is quite strenuous. Remember, don’t just lift your foot and step down, but let your weight carry you forward."

Gradually, Shana became Lin Wu’s personal instructor, smoothing his way along the road. Lin Wu was frustrated with the falls, but he learned earnestly. By the afternoon, he had grasped the basics and the frequency of his falls diminished significantly.

Stone stood on the edge of a cliff, shivering with cold, and said to Su Shi, "This combination should be the best."

Su Shi said, "Yeah, everyone’s happy. I don’t understand though, why did Horse Soul lose interest in Shana?"

Stone replied, "Shana has a high EQ. She was always lukewarm to Horse Soul during Bai Ban, making him back off. She’d rather sit alone and daydream than talk more than necessary with Horse Soul who approached her. They never understood from the start that a girl like Shana chooses who she wants, rather than being chosen."

Stone glanced at the other side: "The counterexample is that idiot, Little Knife. I guess she’s never been in a relationship. As long as there’s a member of the opposite sex who is nice to her, and there’s some ambiguous atmosphere, she’ll start to overthink. Once you think about it, there’s trouble, you’re basically trapped. There’s no saving you. Luckily, Snow Egg is decent, so we’ll see how they develop from here."

Stone continued, "Maya and Lin Wu, on the other hand, are two oddities. Maya’s too calm and serious, which makes her hard to approach. Lin Wu rejects the constraints of romance. He talks about ’one tree versus a whole forest.’ Choosing one tree means being hanged, he’d rather soar through a forest. At first, I thought he wanted to be a playboy, but later I realized he was talking about freedom. If I’m not wrong, this guy has been scared off by his past two girlfriends."

Stone added, "One girlfriend was clingy and consumed most of his time. Another was the housekeeper type, dominating his life and study trajectory and routes. He says women only affect the accuracy of his shooting, and that’s not entirely a joke. Poor kid, already fostering such a skewed view of love at such a young age. If I had such awareness back then, wouldn’t I have wasted a lot of time?"

Su Shi asked with a smile, "So do you support it or not?"

Stone said, "I’m inside the ’fortress,’ and it’s because I fully understand the situation inside that I want to leave it. He, on the other hand, doesn’t go in at all. How can young people know happiness without experiencing pain? Just a heads-up, my world view is quite twisted, don’t let it influence you."
