Chapter 229: Chapter 148 Chat_2

Shana stepped back and exclaimed in frustration, "Forget it, this just isn’t working."

Lin Wu said, "Maya mentioned that stick fighting and swordsmanship are different, swordsmanship relies on beheading, while stick fighting requires hitting the target, specifically the head. I remember seeing a novel about stick fighting when I was borrowing books from the library yesterday."

Shana said, "Never mind books, my music player has something about sticks too." Shana had redeemed a music player as a reward from Waste City.

Lin Wu asked, "What kind of stick?"

After thinking for a moment, Shana said, "I only understood one line of the lyrics: ’Hurry up and use the nunchaku, hoo hoo ha ha.’

Lin Wu: "Nunchaku?"

Lin Wu went to the library and Shana followed. Soon, Lin Wu had borrowed a book titled "Nunchaku Adventures."

Shana searched and found a book called "Shaolin Stick Mastery." Both books were novels and remarkably similar. Before the library was built, the system had clarified that the library would only provide novels, not reference books.

Lin Wu said, "At least we know of two kinds of sticks now."

Shana, looking defeated, conceded, "Fine, I’ll just keep practicing the way Maya taught me."

"Wait a second," Lin Wu said. "I’ve detected someone 3 kilometers away on the road, heading towards North Town along the highway."

Lin Wu zoomed in: "Dressed like a Fortress agent, with an assault rifle. Not a bad gun, seems to be equipped with a grenade launcher too."

"Are they heading towards us?"

Lin Wu said, "Hard to say," as their supermarket base was only about a hundred meters from the highway.

Lin Wu watched as the target skied past the front of the supermarket base, crossed the bridge, and entered the territory of Left County. On the other side of the bridge, Lin Wu saw the target stop 5 meters away from Blood Meng to talk.

What a lousy drone, it’s completely silent.

Whatever the two discussed, they skied towards the supermarket base and then past it towards the fields of the lower farm. At about a kilometer from the supermarket base, they stopped. The target used a satellite phone to call for something, and then they entered a nearby calf shed to wait. Around three minutes later, a parachute descended, carrying a military-grade green box.

Lin Wu saw that the box contained a single-soldier rocket launcher and one rocket.

Shana asked, "Is it meant for us?"

Lin Wu said, "It’s a rocket launcher. Might as well consider they are coming for us," he sharpened his knife eagerly.

Shana asked, "Are you planning to kill them?"

Lin Wu said, "I’m fairly confident."

Shana said, "I don’t agree."

Lin Wu asked, "Why not?"

Shana replied, "We’ve looted enough today; complacency leads to unexpected sorrows. Maya warned us to be cautious, who knows if this is a trap. Maybe it was a trap for the Nightmare, but we stumbled upon it instead."

Lin Wu nodded, "Alright, unless they provoke us first."

"Yeah, the sun has set," entering the long 12-hour night.

The Dawn broadcast added to the excitement: An emergency update at 8 a.m. tomorrow.

The update details were as follows: Regardless of what clothes are worn, whether they have insulation value, or how cold it is, as long as the sun is up, players won’t get frostbite. In face of the harsh winter, to facilitate players helping each other in the spirit of humanitarianism, all bases will open courier services, with a service fee of 30%. Specific matters can be consulted with the courier center through the radio.

Tip: Please prepare more wood and other combustibles during the day.

"I guess too many people froze to death."

"Shouldn’t the focus be on condemning the fact that humanitarian spirit requires a 30% commission?" Lin Wu hinted, "My drone is charging; don’t go out unless it’s necessary."

...

An hour later, the system notified them of morale loss. Upon checking the cemetery, they discovered that Nightmare had unexpectedly fallen victim. Shana had guessed right; Blood Meng and Nightmare had ambushed Nightmare.

Putting down her book, Shana glanced at Lin Wu across the bonfire and reminded him, "Nightmare’s dead." Shouldn’t we say a couple of words?

"Shouldn’t die without putting to good use the rocket launcher from the air-drop," Lin Wu said. "I told her not to go out heedlessly, insisting on doing missions instead. But, she probably has more than one set of gear."

Shana wondered, "Her base is at the supermarket, so where would she keep her spare gear?"

Lin Wu answered, "Wait until I get a computer with Hacker Skill; I’ll show you." He chuckled insidiously, planning to raid her safe house clean. No, that wouldn’t be right; to some extent, she was an acquaintance, and it felt a bit unsporting to compromise his noble character. But then again, the safe house didn’t specifically state ’Nightmare’s Safe House’. If he ’accidentally’ found the safe house, ’accidentally’ cracked the code, ’accidentally’ got in and ’accidentally’ took everything...

Lin Wu said, "Speaking of which, it reminds me of an incident from college days. Alpha and Beta are a couple, but Gamma doesn’t know. He likes Beta a lot. Despite Beta’s repeated rejections of Gamma’s invitations and without disclosing that she’s in a relationship, they eventually end up together. Sounds like the makings of a tragic love triangle, doesn’t it?"

Shana nodded, not seeing what this had to do with a computer.

Lin Wu continued, "A month later, Gamma and Beta break up. Gamma actually knew all along that Alpha and Beta were a couple and left Beta because he believed she would eventually betray him too for someone better. It’s a sad story."

"Huh?"

Lin Wu went on, "Then Alpha and Gamma end up together. Turns out Gamma had a long-standing crush on Alpha and went to great lengths to break up Alpha and Beta to get what he wanted. I’m totally lost by this part of the story."

Shana, curious, asked, "And then what happened?"
