Chapter 251: Chapter 157: The Blizzard Siege

Each person with a snowboard, three people tied together with a rope. Lin Wu set off first, followed by Nightmare, and then by Shana. At the start, the speed was off, Lin Wu constantly tensed the rope, clearly Nightmare was too slow. After Nightmare sped up, he found his rope being pulled tight, obviously Shana was too slow. Eventually, Lin Wu progressed at Shana’s pace, Nightmare cooperated to control the speed, and the three smoothly reached the sewer.

First, they used medicine to deal with the frostbite, waited a few minutes, and after confirming everyone could be in the sewer without getting frostbitten, Shana started to concentrate on studying the sewer blueprint posted at the entrance. The blueprint didn’t specify the names of each exit, so they needed to check them one by one. Starting with the nearest sewer exit, the A exit which was 3 kilometers away in a straight line.

If Lin Wu were to look at the blueprint, he would get lost within 20 meters, but Shana, relying on her excellent spatial memory, successfully led the two to the A exit.

Upon reaching the A exit, Shana stopped and pointed upwards, Lin Wu looked up to see the sewer cover, could hardly believe it, and looked at Shana again. They didn’t take a wrong turn the whole way, finally looking a bit like the 5% they’re supposed to be. Although Shana and Maya could memorize the route of the Bounty Hunter Hall after just one trip, in Lin Wu’s eyes, the two tasks were completely different in difficulty.

Shana showed her teeth in a smile, "I just love the way you look at me dumbfounded."

Lin Wu, "Tonight, while sleeping, I’ll use tape to flip my eyelids up, so you can get your fill of looking."

That’s enough from you guys! Nightmare, "Up?"

Lin Wu took the lead, using both hands to move the cover aside with difficulty, and immediately, cold air poured into the sewer. He looked out and saw an underground parking lot. The sewer he was in was presumably a drain for the parking lot. The parking lot wasn’t big, just over a hundred square meters with ten parking spaces and two fairly new cars. The elevator was opposite, stairs to the side.

Lin Wu used the Silencer to burst fire and kill the five visible zombies before returning to the sewer to explain the situation.

Lin Wu waited in the sewer for a while before climbing up the stairs, waiting at the ladder, his eyes on the system time. As soon as the time was right, Lin Wu dived out of the sewer and ran towards the stairs. Except for one Frenzy, he didn’t encounter other Mutant Zombies along the way. Wind Stinger took care of the sudden appearance of zombies, Silencer eliminated the visible ones, and he arrived at the first floor successfully. After entering the first floor, Lin Wu burst fired and killed several zombies, decisively ran towards the underground garage, and slid down the ladder to the sewer.

Lin Wu saw the expectant looks from the two, "Jackpot, first floor is a supermarket, second floor is a bank."

Lin Wu took the paper and pencil Shana handed him and drew a map of the route, "The area’s zombies have been cleared."

Nightmare nodded, took a deep breath, climbed to the ladder entrance, Shana reminded, "You only have 150 seconds." If they didn’t return to the sewer within 150 seconds, they would get frostbitten. They had a lot of medicine, but they could not afford to waste it.

Nightmare turned back, "Bet on it?"

Lin Wu, "How do we bet?"

Nightmare, "First one to get a food pack without getting frostbite."

Lin Wu asked, "What’s the prize for the winner?"

Shana, "The loser can only watch others drink soup tonight."

Lin Wu looked at Shana, "You’re pretty confident."

Shana didn’t react for a moment, and it took a while for her to realize that Lin Wu was asking about the reward, while she was talking about the punishment.

Shana confidently, with a mysterious smile, replied, "Confident girls are the prettiest."

Aside from Lin Wu, who had an Agility star bonus, Nightmare and Shana were nearly the same speed. Shana focused on conserving stamina, Nightmare too was primarily Agile but with strength as a secondary attribute, their strengths were evenly matched. The key lay in two issues: killing monsters and scavenging, with scavenging naturally being the most important.

Nightmare and Lin Wu weren’t about to be intimidated by a young girl, and gladly agreed to the bet.

Nightmare timed her exit from the sewer perfectly. At 135 seconds, Nightmare returned to the sewer, her backpack empty, bringing back a box of biscuits. Nightmare respected the rules and drew on the paper. First, she expanded the scenes she saw from Lin Wu’s drawings. Second, she marked the locations she had already searched.

In her third turn, Shana came back empty-handed; she didn’t search for the food packs but went further to draw a map of the supermarket. Besides the parts of the scene she saw, she also noted the locations of each merchandise area including the bakery, fruit area, seafood section, vegetable area, and the rice and noodle area which were most likely to have food packs.

Lin Wu was about to head toward the nearby Rice and Noodle Area when Shana grabbed onto his pants and dragged him down from the ladder, "Rock, paper, scissors."

"Oh?" Lin Wu looked at Shana, his eyes carrying a hint of craftiness.

Shana said, "I’ll play one game against each of you if I win both, I go first; if I lose once, I’ll go last."

Lin Wu said, "Nightmare, you go first." This girl is up to something, let Nightmare go and test the waters first.

"Childish," said Nightmare. "Rock, paper, scissors..." Nightmare lost.

Lin Wu warmed up his body, Shana with a challenging tone said, "Come on."

Lin Wu, "Rock, paper, scissors..." His right hand shook his fist, and at the last second, he drew his right hand back and extended his left fist. He clearly saw Shana’s hand, which had thrown scissors, twitch.

Annoyed, Shana said, "You cheated."

Lin Wu made a face at Shana, infuriating her to the point of steaming. Lin Wu looked toward Nightmare, who indicated for Lin Wu to proceed, as she had no interest in playing the childish rock-paper-scissors game. So, Lin Wu left, and before doing so, he still heard Shana intentionally huff.

At 145 seconds, Lin Wu slid into the sewer, his backpack full; he obviously had gotten a supply pack. Lin Wu took out the pack to show everyone, "Food pack."
