Chapter 301: Chapter 176 New Member

As the siege ended and all the zombies were eliminated, the two of them did not feel the same desperate escape from death as the first two times; instead, they looked at the badly damaged base, wanting to cry but having no tears. The only good news was that the durability of the library was still at 20%, and it could be repaired by consuming building materials.

Damage report: Dormitory completely destroyed. Medical room completely destroyed. The inventory warehouse was 60% damaged, with 60% of the items lost. The supplies warehouse was 70% damaged, with 70% of the supplies lost, leaving only 12 units of building materials, two units of medical supplies, and one unit of food. The radio was 100% damaged and needed 10 units of building materials for repairs.

Some supplies were salvaged by dismantling the dormitory and medical room, and the building materials, medical supplies, and food packs hidden in the car’s trunk were stored. After the reconstruction, the base looked brand new, but only 5 units of food and 1 unit of medical supplies remained. The full stores of building materials were gone, 20 units of food were gone, and all gasoline and ammunition were wiped out.

Lin Wu then tested the repaired radio transmitter, "Calling out."

Stone replied, "I can hear a hint of joy you can’t seem to contain."

Lin Wu: "Yeah, yeah."

Maya took the communicator: "6 star siege, we held, but at great loss."

Stone: "As long as the people are okay."

Maya: "Building materials are gone."

Stone paused for a few seconds, which meant that even if the base was moved to the Sawmill, there would be a huge gap in facility construction. Stone said, "No problem, is anyone injured?"

"Lin Wu has a severe fracture in his left hand."

Stone found an outlet for his frustration, "Lin Wu, were you feeding the zombies with your left hand?"

Maya: "He’s not here."

"Oh, okay. Can I arrange for someone to deliver people and supplies tomorrow?"

Maya: "That would be fine."

"You’ve worked hard."

"Not at all."

After making her report, Maya went to read in the library as if nothing had happened. Lin Wu lay in the snow, propping up his chin with one hand as he admired the fiery sunset clouds, the fierce battle he’d just experienced, and especially the process of facing down the Titan, which was endlessly memorable. As long as he was precise in his operation, had enough bullets, could recover his stamina, and his firearms did not fail, he could definitely take on the Titan alone. This was an achievement in the game, and although he gained no title for it, Lin Wu was very satisfied with both the process and the result.

Hanging out with Shana was all about the glory of eating hot pot; with Maya, it was about the glory of facing down the Titan alone. The difference was the sense of recognition. If a person made ten million but dared not tell anyone, fearing that others would come to borrow money, and with no confidant to share it with, the sense of achievement would be bottled up inside, bringing no endless joy. Conversely, a husband coming home and telling his wife that he had made ten million could bring joy to his wife and endless satisfaction to himself.

Sharing can sometimes be a joy itself.

...

The next day, Shana took Bai Ban back to her mother’s place, and Lin Wu lay in the hospital bed while Emerald Feather sat by his side with a book and a cup of tea for another three hours. Lin Wu felt that he should not have chosen a general practitioner but a specialist, as lying there for three hours was real torture.

Shana sat beside him, smiling at Lin Wu: "When we were together, I was the one with a broken bone. Can’t you take care of yourself without me?"

Lin Wu chuckled and asked, "How’s it feel to be back at the main base?"

"Pretty good." There were more people to talk to, plus the opportunity to play poker and mahjong, and most importantly, there was electricity and light at night.

Lin Wu asked, "How are the chicks doing?"

"Su Shi is looking after them for me," Shana said. "Last night we discussed whether we could build a ranch."

"Wow, thinking of a ranch before the eggs have even hatched. Would you dream of the Americas if I gave you a coffee bean?" Lin Wu added, "Columbus discovered the New World; it’s in the history books. Where’s Little Knife?" He hadn’t seen Little Knife.

"Little Knife is here." A gust of wind blew into the medical room, and Little Knife arrived holding a bunch of green grass: "I couldn’t find flowers, and even grass is hard to find. Make do with this."

Lin Wu was speechless: "You could’ve brought pork, lamb, beef to visit the sick."

Little Knife shook her head: "I can’t bear to part with it; we don’t have much left."

"Stingy." Lin Wu said, "I hear you’ve become quite the fighter under Peanut’s tutelage."

Little Knife smiled and raised her fist, "You can try me out later if you want."

The next visitor was Horse Soul: "Lin, I heard from Maya you took on the Titan alone."

Lin Wu, feeling a bit embarrassed by the praise, held up two fingers: "Just one and a half, actually."

"Haha." Horse Soul sat down. Following that, Peanut and Snow Egg also came in, cracking jokes and shooting the breeze.

Suddenly the medical room became very crowded; the guys showed no signs of leaving, so the girls had to leave first. Peanut ushered Emerald Feather out and closed the door: "Bring them out."

"What?"

"The magazines." Horse Soul said, "Don’t play dumb."

"You guys really have good taste." Lin Wu rummaged through his bag and took out the remaining six magazines, allowing everyone to draw one or two and stuff them into their backpacks. Lin Wu protested: "Hey, give back my six."

Peanut shook his head: "Stone took them."

"Greasy man."

"What are you doing?" Little Knife pushed the door open: "Why did you lock the door?" There was suspicion on her face.

"Nothing, nothing." Everyone hastily left, and Peanut invited Emerald Feather back to the hospital room to continue treatment.

Blood Heart at the cement factory must have done something terrible in his past life because whenever there was a disagreement, Maya would take Bai Ban to raid the cement factory. After Lin Wu’s injury healed, he didn’t leave general practitioner Emerald Feather behind; instead, he lured her to the lookout point to shoot rats.

Emerald Feather took a shot with the Silencer and was stunned by how impressive it felt, instantly gaining interest. She’d only played with pistols before, and the bolt-action rifle gave her a special kind of thrill. Under Lin Wu’s guidance, she hit a rat with her third shot, which excited her immensely.
