Chapter 226: Chapter 147 Fortress Armory

A Fortress agent was leaning against the edge of a farm, holding a satellite phone and communicating with the outside world, "So far, we only know that Nightmare has joined the supermarket base. I’m at a small farm a kilometer west of the supermarket base, with a green rooftop... okay... see you in an hour."

After ending the call, Lin Wu, who was crouched nearby, made his move. It was the same old trick: a backstab followed by a double lock head. No one could withstand these three hits, not even this Fortress agent, who dropped to the ground without a sound, turning into a corpse.

Maya watched through her scope as Lin Wu looted the body, with the Soulless brother by her side, Horse Soul said, "Let Lin leave some soup for us to drink."

Maya: "Lin Wu, what’s the situation?"

Lin Wu replied, "It looks like they’ll be gathering here in an hour."

Maya: "Retreat to point B and rendezvous with Little Knife. Horse Soul and Snow Egg, flank to point C and meet up with Shana."

Lin Wu: "Wait, who’s taking the gun?" He found another assault rifle.

Maya said, "You take the gun to Little Knife."

Lin Wu retreated to a barn 100 meters away and handed the rifle and 50 bullets to Little Knife. Little Knife was quite excited: "These Fortress agents are just moving treasure chests." He hadn’t properly held a gun in over four months, let alone received 50 bullets. This was more than any of them had dared to dream of before.

Lin Wu said, "We’re not killing them for their loot, we’re purely out for revenge."

Little Knife scoffed, "There’s just the two of us now."

Lin Wu said, "Our belief must be firm. Repeat it a few times. When you start believing your own nonsense, you’ll feel quite superior."

...

About an hour passed, and a man and a woman arrived at the farm on skis from the northwest, almost simultaneously. After meeting, they bumped fists. Lin Wu said, "Kill the man, leave the woman," then left his position and moved into a stealthy advance.

Upon receiving Lin Wu’s instructions, Shana immediately informed Horse Soul and Snow Egg by her side. Maya fired first, not aiming for the man’s head, but for his chest. The system determined the effect of the .50 sniper rifle shot on the body as equivalent to an execution, shattering the man’s forehead guard immediately. Fire was exchanged, and bullets poured down. The man’s life bottomed out instantly, rolling into the farm.

The crossfire caused the couple to make a wrong judgment about the direction of the enemy. The man took his medicine, preparing for a firefight when he did not expect that 400 meters away, a sniper rifle was aimed directly at him. The sniper rifle’s .50 bullet pierced his chest, and the man was killed instantly.

The woman at the farm attempted to drag the man’s leg to pull him inside when Lin Wu’s voice rang out nearby, "Sister, don’t move."

The woman turned her head to see Lin Wu, who had revealed himself from stealth, "It’s you."

"Hello, sister, thanks for the gun," the woman, Blood Meng, replied. Lin Wu said, while casually walking to the man’s body to start looting.

Blood Meng did not stop Lin Wu but asked, "Why do you want to kill us?"

Lin Wu replied, "Three hours ago, three Fortress agents attacked my supermarket base; this is just revenge."

The supermarket base was a poor base; after hearing the news that Nightmare had joined the supermarket base, Blood Meng and the other Fortress agents didn’t think there was anything valuable inside. Previously, because Blood Meng had entered a bear zone and was chased and lost by bears, they were several hours behind the others.

Lin Wu, holding a dagger in his left hand, tossed the looted assault rifle aside as if it were trash and continued looting, "If sister has any connections with the folks in North Town, best remember not to mess with us at the supermarket base. By the way, we just took down Nightmare last night."

"Cheapskate." As Lin Wu stood, he saw Blood Meng aim her handgun at his head. Lin Wu said, "Sister wouldn’t want to know why you can’t mess with the supermarket base, would you?"

Blood Meng did not speak, her heart a mix of shock, dumbfoundedness, and she was still unable to comprehend everything that had happened. She thought more about Lin Wu’s words, killing him would be good, not only to get her teammate’s equipment but also Lin Wu’s gear, reducing the number of enemies by one. But if she couldn’t kill him, she would have to leave her gear here.

The pretentious Lin Wu looked annoying, but Blood Meng just couldn’t pull the trigger. She asked, "How did you know we would come here?"

Lin Wu answered, "I’ve been tracking the person you spoke with an hour ago. But I didn’t know his partner was you, sister."

Blood Meng: "How did you find and track him?"

Lin Wu raised his left hand to stop Blood Meng, pressed his earpiece and reported, "Two male Fortress agents on the southwest about 1300 meters away, coming in our direction on skis, one dressed in a white snow combat suit, the other in a gray and white combat suit."

Lin Wu released his hand, "Sister, you sent out a location signal?"

Blood Meng admitted, "Yes." She tightened her grip on the gun, hoping her teammates could hear the gunshot.

Lin Wu didn’t want her teammates to hear the gunshot, so Wind Stinger circled around. Blood Meng shot at a mirage, and as she turned back, she found she had lost her forehead guard. Blood Meng had just seen Lin Wu behind her when she heard the gunshot and realized she had been headshot, her residual blood state. With a close distance, Blood Meng bent down to grab onto Lin Wu’s waist, attempting a shoulder throw. Another gunshot sounded, the bullet defied Newton’s coffin board with a 180-degree turn at close range, striking Blood Meng’s head.

"Guns are fast beyond three meters, and they’re even quicker and more accurate within," Lin Wu said as his hand lingered over Blood Meng’s body for a few seconds, "Oh well, who says I’m not kind."

Lin Wu reported, "Done."

Maya instructed, "You hold the flank, while we practice some live-action. Shana, tell everyone to medicate if they’re hit, stay at full health." The earpiece could only be used by members of the base, and since Maya had recently joined the supermarket base, she could only relay instructions to Horse Soul and Snow Egg through Shana. With Lin Wu holding the flank, Snow Egg followed Maya’s orders and moved to Little Knife’s position.
