Chapter 219: Chapter 144: Enemies on a Narrow Road_2

"Oh," Lin Wu said when he was with Maya, they were so busy that they didn’t even have time to read. Now, teaming up with Shana, they indulged in a leisurely hot pot meal. Thinking about this, Maya felt somewhat disappointed, but she knew where her position was and what her goal was, and she quickly expelled the negative emotions from her mind.

After lighting a bonfire, the room warmed up, and Shana took out all the food and seasoning from the storeroom. Horse Soul was indeed born a chef. As soon as the water boiled, everyone smelled the fragrance. Where did the water come from? There was snow everywhere, just boil it and you have water. Not sanitary? Never mind, there are God medicine painkillers.

The only downside was that the supermarket base featured a hanging pot without a table, so everyone had to stand up to fish for food and then sit down again. That meal was equivalent to everyone doing a hundred squats.

Snow Egg voiced her opinion, "Ma, this hot pot is so much better than Shadow hot pot."

Horse Soul replied, "That’s the system hot pot, dishes can be served in a minute without having to find water. This hot pot you’re eating is the real deal."

Little Knife kept opening her mouth to let the mutton cool in her mouth: "I want to eat rice."

Horse Soul was stunned and looked around for a while, "No pot."

"Never mind," Little Knife stood up to fish for food, swallowing saliva, "Delicious!"

Nightmare walked into the supermarket base. Attracted by the aroma, she did not join the others but headed to the side library. Seeing this, Maya took some food with a bowl and utensils to the library; after an unknown exchange of words, Maya came out of the library after a while.

By this time, Lin Wu had finished dealing with things inside the supermarket, helped herself to a bowl and utensils, and asked, "Are we going to the Bounty Hunter Hall later?"

Maya nodded, "Since we’re here, let’s go."

Lin Wu nodded, pulled Shana’s clothes, and walked to the side. Lin Wu whispered, "Use 5% of your potential to memorize the route."

Shana confidently said, "I have a super strong memory."

Lin Wu was skeptical.

Shana helplessly asked, "Have I ever boasted?"

Lin Wu thought for a while, "Doesn’t seem like it, but I brag all the time."

Shana waved her hand to dismiss Lin Wu, "Leave it to me." Don’t disturb me while I’m eating.

Lin Wu continued to be doubtful. Maya had gotten lost once and had to use a prop to remember the route.

Shana helplessly leaned into Lin Wu’s ear, "I’ve memorized all the seasonings Horse Soul used, roughly how much of each."

"Oh, well then, let’s see how you do. The one thing I hate the most in life is braggarts."

No one could tolerate such words. Shana immediately spat out her food in laughter and punched Lin Wu’s shoulder, ignoring him and joining the feast.

...

Little Knife was still bouncy and lively, the repugnant environment of the sewers could not change her. Snow Egg, like a flower protector, followed a step behind Little Knife with a 1.8-meter-long iron shovel, ready to desperately fight any zombies that might appear and scare Little Knife. His good buddy, Horse Soul, felt the loneliest. With Maya and Nightmare in front and Shana and Lin Wu behind, he felt like the brightest, yet most superfluous, light bulb in the group.

They arrived at the city hall without issue. Shana said to Lin Wu, "Easy, I remembered it."

Lin Wu was still worried, "We’re going to have to walk back later, in reverse."

Shana patted Lin Wu on the shoulder and crawled out of the sewer into the city hall.

First-timers at the city hall began with the identity task, which was to chop a few zombies or the limbs of a few zombies. After completing the task and becoming a Bounty Hunter, everyone took on bounty tasks.

Lin Wu’s task was a bit tricky. His task was to kill one Six Wings. This creature wasn’t very strong in combat but was very rare. Lin Wu had only encountered it at North Lake.

Lin Wu approached Shana, "Interested in revisiting the place where you once died in battle?"

Shana looked at Lin Wu’s task envelope, "I have to kill a Frenzy."

Lin Wu seriously looked at Shana’s task, "To kill a Frenzy alone." Killing a Frenzy shouldn’t be too difficult, but for Shana, taking one on by herself was very challenging.

Shana was troubled, "How do I kill it?"

Lin Wu suggested, "With a gun." A SC mag holds 30 rounds; it should be enough to kill one.

Shana asked, "What was your first task?"

Lin Wu replied, "To kill a Blood Ferocious Ma. You know it, you were with me."

Shana sighed, "Never mind then." She felt outdone.

Maya spoke up, "Are we all set? If so, let’s go."

Shana quickly walked towards Maya, "Maya, I’ll lead the way."

Maya responded with an "Oh," "Of course, you can."

Little Knife called out, "Is that the Corner Office over there?"

Everyone walked to the front door and looked across the street at the independent three-story office building, which was one of the medium and small strongholds recommended by Lin Wu and Maya. At first glance, the Corner Office, surrounded by roads, was swarming with zombies, a few hundred at least.

When Little Knife mentioned the Corner Office, Snow Egg used 200% of his vision to scour it and said, "Looks like there’s someone there."

There were lights on the second floor and it appeared that shadows were being cast upon the glass, which surprised everyone. Could it be that North Town had a team stronger than Shadow? Lin Wu fitted a silencer, aimed at the second floor for a while, and then pulled the trigger, shattering the second-floor window. The air around them froze for a moment, and even the zombies seemed to pause. The next second, countless zombies burst into the Corner Office.

Maya looked at Lin Wu, "What was the idea with that shot?"

Lin Wu explained, "Wanted to see if there was anyone inside."

Little Knife interjected, "There’s probably no one left now."
