Chapter 236: Chapter 151: The Hunt

Shana returned to the original topic, "It’s said that the players in North Town are in a state of panic. Some believe that as long as they stand united, using firearms to support others from their base, they can eliminate the Titan."

Lin Wu disagreed, "If the Titan just stupidly stands in the middle of the road, and players from bases on both sides open fire together, indeed there won’t be a problem. But the Titan won’t do that; it will definitely charge into a base. Once the Titan enters a base, the buildings shield the players inside while also blocking the firing range of others. An occasional shot or two causing damage to the Titan will be less than the health it regenerates."

Shana said, "Your view is that of another group of people. This group is divided into several factions. Some believe we must find a way to kill the Titan, some think we should eradicate the Blood Plague once and for all. They’re not just talking nonsense, nearly a hundred bases can gather quite a lot of explosives. Another faction hopes that Shadow and Invincible will lead them to eliminate both the Titan and the Blood Plague. Stone, citing the internal consumption within the base and several main forces starting their own operations as reasons, refused to take on the responsibility of eliminating the Blood Plague."

Lin Wu asked, "What about Invincible?"

"Oh dear, stop talking to people all the time, it’s your fault for making me take the wrong route." Shana turned back and took another path. "Invincible has absolutely no interest in meddling... anticipation." Shana tilted her head, avoiding Lin Wu’s flick to the forehead, and turned back with a smug smile.

Lin Wu was speechless, "Childish."

"You’re the childish one, calling others childish just because your attack didn’t succeed," she retorted.

"Hmph."

"Hmph hmph."

"Hmph hmph hmph."

"Hmph hmph hmph hmph."

Nightmare felt ten thousand alpacas stampeding through his heart, regretting coming out with them.

Amidst the noise, the three of them arrived at the Bounty Hunter Hall without incident, ready to accept a mission. Lin Wu drew one with a blue envelope, indicating a challenge mission. Success would mean direct promotion to a level six Bounty Hunter. Lin Wu opened the letter and took a look, "Change mission." Kill a Titan? Do you know how many bullets it takes to kill a Titan?

The biggest problem was that Frenzy and the Titan were hardly affected by the snow accumulations. To provoke the Titan now would truly be a waste of time.

He swapped for another blue challenge mission, which Lin Wu accepted. Kill 3 Blood Ferocious Ma alone. Ha! Alone means others can’t inflict any damage on Blood Ferocious Ma, and you have to kill them yourself.

Receiving continuous blue letters wasn’t due to Lin Wu’s good luck. Both Shana and Nightmare had also drawn blue letters. Shana inquired, but the NPC simply smiled without speaking. Pressed for an answer, he just said that, at certain times, the Bounty Hunter Hall only issues blue letter missions.

You are allowed up to five changes per mission but cannot refuse a mission. Nightmare and Shana swapped three times before finally receiving satisfactory ones. Nightmare’s mission was to challenge level five hunters. Kill 5 Frenzy within two hours, with the difficulty lying in the time limit. It’s a challenge to find all 5 Frenzy within two hours.

Lin Wu, a veteran Frenzy slayer, felt Nightmare’s mission was tricky. He had no skills and had to shoot the Frenzy. The moment you fire a gun in the wild, all sorts of evil spirits would be drawn in.

Shana’s challenge was for a level four hunter. Her mission was to search for an earring inside a jewelry box at a holiday house by North Lake. Lin Wu and Maya had been there before, where they encountered Nightmare and were besieged by the undead for hours. If it were just that, the difficulty wouldn’t be too high. But challenge missions always have certain restrictions.

The limit for Shana’s task was that she had to reach the holiday house and find the jewelry box and earring without any teammates (including base members) within two hundred meters. In reality, this meant Shana couldn’t team up with others; Lin Wu couldn’t offer help. However, Dawn hadn’t predicted that Lin Wu still had drones for cooperative combat. As long as they informed Shana about the situation on-site, letting her carry out the mission alone would not be dangerous.

...

Perhaps as a protection from the system, as morning approached, the blizzard stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the sun emerged in the east once more. Lin Wu and Shana geared up and headed for North Lake.

North Lake, one of Shana’s painful memories. It was the place where she died, and likewise, where Maya, her successor, discovered Laboratory A6. Lin Wu couldn’t help but recite a poem but was interrupted by Shana before he could start, knowing from the twinkling in his eyes that he was about to say something irritating, she preempted him.

Lin Wu waited on the forest edge beside the road to the right of North Lake while Shana alone headed toward the vacation villa a few hundred meters away. Traveling in the snow was not easy; what would have taken about 10 minutes by motorcycle now took a full 40 minutes. If it were on foot, it would probably take at least two hours to reach.

The drone hovered over the vacation house. There weren’t many undead; they also struggled to walk in the snow. Once Lin Wu confirmed there were no Frenzy present, Shana proceeded, using her crossbow to take down the undead. There were already few undead in the desolate mountains, and it didn’t take long to clear out a dozen or so. The rest of the undead were in the vacation cottages.

The difficulty of the task didn’t lie in the danger of the resort but in finding a jewelry box there. With 8 holiday houses, a manager’s cabin, complete with drawers, beds, appliances, and the like, the difficulty of finding a single jewelry box was imaginable.

Ten minutes passed, then half an hour. With nothing better to do, Lin Wu went into the woods to look for something like wild rabbits, to fulfill his duty as a hunter by contributing food to the base every day. The drone stayed hovering over Shana, alerting her to things within 30 meters. Aside from that, Lin Wu also helped to look for the jewelry box through the drone.
