Chapter 263: Chapter 161: New Member_2

Little Knife coolly said, "Fortress."

Maya looked worriedly in the direction of the cement factory from which the Blood Mist was spreading, considering whether to leave someone at the Shadow base. Snow Egg and Little Knife were inseparable, Horse Soul, the chef, had weaker combat skills, she had to lead the team, and Peanut and Emerald Feather were new, making it inconvenient to split them up.

Maya beckoned Shana to chat outside the base for a while, and when they returned inside, "We think we can remove this ’Heart of Blood Plague,’" Maya spoke of the plan to utilize the terrain and explained the ammunition that would be needed.

Lin Wu expressed his opposition, "Wasting so much resources here, and if Blood Plague emerges near the Sawmill, or there are multiple Blood Plagues, then we won’t have the resources to deal with it."

Peanut raised his hand, "What is the Sawmill?"

Little Knife answered, "The Left County Base after winter."

Peanut asked, "You guys have already picked out Left County’s base?"

Little Knife, quite proud, introduced, "The supermarket base is only set up as a Bridgehead for the attack on the Sawmill, for the accumulation of building materials and supplies."

Maya and Shana spoke in a low voice, feeling Lin Wu made some good points. Shana thought that besides having a point, Lin Wu just didn’t want to deal with Blood Plague today, but was more interested in food.

Maya said, "Alright, then Lin Wu and Shana, be careful on your own. Let’s go."

Everyone followed, but Snow Egg lagged a step behind, turned his head to his close friend Horse Soul, and said, "I think Peanut is not a good person."

Horse Soul asked, "Because he keeps talking to Little Knife?"

Snow Egg gave an embarrassed smile, "How could it be for that reason, it’s from his physiognomy that I feel he’s not a good person."

Horse Soul chuckled. Snow Egg’s statement was considered naive on Blue Star for three years.

...

The team used the sewer to head towards Point D, where Little Knife had become the guide for Peanut and Emerald Feather, describing the situation at Shadow, daily activities, and so on along the way. Whenever Peanut and Little Knife laughed together, the left-out Snow Egg gritted his teeth in frustration. Snow Egg wanted to join in, but with Little Knife and Emerald Feather strolling hand-in-hand through the sewer, there was no opportunity for him to join.

Shana led the way, Horse Soul accompanied her, and Lin Wu and Maya took the rear. Lin Wu voiced a question he had long pondered, "Why can girls hold hands with each other naturally? As if it’s nothing?"

Maya thought for quite a while without coming up with a suitable answer, and eventually replied, "I don’t know."

Lin Wu continued, "I noticed before that Little Knife would wrap around your left arm, resting her head on your shoulder."

Maya asked, "So what?"

Lin Wu said, "If a man did that to me, I’d wipe him out immediately. I mean, even if I liked men, I’d still refuse unfamiliar ones getting too close."

After thinking for a moment, Maya extended her left hand and intertwined it with Lin Wu’s right hand, causing Lin Wu to freeze on the spot, at a loss whether to pull away or to speak.

Maya asked, "Do you feel repulsed?"

Lin Wu shook his head vigorously in denial.

Maya let go of Lin Wu’s hand, "Do you understand now?"

Lin Wu nodded, then said, "There’s another problem."

"What problem?"

Lin Wu stated, "I feel repulsed by seeing the bodies of unclothed men."

Maya was stunned for a second before reacting, unable to help but burst into laughter. She wanted to curse, but noticed everyone had stopped and were looking at her. Maya immediately regained her serious composure, said indifferently, "Let’s go."

"Oh," everyone looked at each other and continued walking. Just like learning for the first time that little fairies also defecate, they came to know that Maya could laugh.

Maya suppressed the urge to kick Lin Wu, continuing forward nonchalantly. Seeing Lin Wu about to speak again, she warned, "No talking, I want some peace."

Lin Wu silent, followed in the back, and Maya sighed, "No making faces behind my back."

Lin Wu asked in surprise, "How did you know? Do you have three eyes?"

Maya replied, "I don’t have three eyes, I just know that you’re very childish. Hey!"

Lin Wu walked beside Maya side by side.

Maya remarked, "Yesterday, I left you behind again."

Lin Wu responded, "I’m used to it."

Maya continued, "The reason you’re used to it is that Shana explained for me yesterday."

Lin Wu thoughtfully nodded, "That means Shana has feelings for you."

"Nonsense," Maya scoffed.

The team halted and looked back in unison, then resumed walking.

Peanut quietly asked Little Knife beside him, "Are Maya and Lin Wu in a relationship?"

Little Knife furrowed her brow in thought for a long time, motioned for Snow Egg at the back to come over, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think Maya and Lin Wu are in a relationship?"

Snow Egg was also stumped by the question, unsure of how to answer. Emerald Feather asked curiously, "Is this question difficult to answer?" Yes if it is; no if it is not.

Little Knife glanced at Shana and Horse Soul seven meters ahead leading the way and then turned back to Lin Wu and Maya walking side by side seven meters behind, "It’s hard to answer."

Snow Egg stated, "There’s no tension between them."

Little Knife nodded vigorously, "That’s precisely the crux of the matter." Gossip adrenaline was completely activated.

Snow Egg had an inspiration and turned to ask, "Old Lin, why don’t you consider getting married given the threat of Blood Mist?"

"Married?" Lin Wu shook his head, "As a man born between heaven and earth, how can I remain for long under others?"

Snow Egg didn’t understand, "I’m talking about marriage, what’s this about remaining under others?"

Lin Wu explained, "A friend of mine who is in his fifties, his family’s ranking is: daughter, wife, son, dog, him. When they just got married, his wife only had eyes for him. After they had a son, his wife only cared about the son. When they got a dog, she had to look after both the dog and the son, and would scold him for not helping. After having a daughter, finally, there were sweet nothings whispered, but his wife stopped complaining and simply started ignoring his existence."
