Chapter 316: Chapter 182: Assault

Lin Wu turned and left the intersection, returning to Maya’s side and shared what he had seen with her.

"Do you remember the message from our first expedition?" Maya said. "The DNA of the green zombies differs greatly from that of humans. Aside from their appearance, they have almost no relation to humans. The zombies in the replica are not the zombies from home, those at home mutated into zombies after being infected by a virus. The zombies here are more like aliens cultivated by humans."

"In the A5 laboratory, we obtained quite a bit of information. They believe that the Blood Heart is a cell. Is there a possibility that the green zombies are actually cells divided from the Blood Heart?" Maya said. "Take a certain cell as an example, theoretically it is an undying cell capable of infinite division. Whereas normal human cells divide around 50-60 times before they stop. I guess this thing might be a monster created through medical research."

Lin Wu asked, "And the Mutant Spider?"

"Everything is out of control," said Maya, "even the mastermind behind the scenes can’t predict how things will unfold."

Lin Wu said, "The villains took advantage of the construction of the subway to install countless green devices throughout Waste City, continuously producing green zombies. Due to the long-term effects of green water and radiation, the spiders mutated."

"That seems to make sense."

"Sister, I’ve always thought it’s just a game. Whether it is or not, right now we should kill spiders and search for artifacts," Lin Wu disagreed with Maya’s idea. Indeed, Blood Heart is mentioned in the history of Blue Star but only in descriptions. Fortress agents said that they obtained the serum by venturing deep into the epidemic zones and from the Blood Heart, the few pictures are also very blurry. What’s certain is that a zombie virus exists with strong concealment and infectivity.

Maya asked, "Did you see any scientists’ corpses along the way?"

Lin Wu answered, "No, but after seeing the process involving the green water, I think we might find some artifacts in the pool."

Maya agreed, "Bodies would not be refreshed. If we haven’t seen corpses, then it’s likely the bodies were dissolved in the pool. But here’s the problem, if the pool can dissolve bodies, how can we retrieve artifacts from inside it?"

Lin Wu glanced at Wai. "Let Wai drink up the pool water?" I certainly can’t finish it all.

Maya sighed, "You can’t be serious for more than a minute."

Lin Wu led the way, Maya followed, and soon they encountered a spider; they surrounded it. The spider noticed Maya as well, thinking it had approached silently, stretching out a claw more than a meter long as if wanting to come down from the wall and pierce Maya’s body. Maya fired at close range, emptying a magazine. The spider desperately tried to escape amid gunfire but unlucky for it, it encountered the ruthless ones, headshot with every bullet. Five rounds brought the spider down from the top, and seeing its legs could still move, Maya used all her bullets on it.

Dozens of zombies came from deep in the tunnel, drawn by the noise. Rich Lin Wu immediately wasted bullets, killing them all. The only downside was that it took two magazines. This made Maya shake her head; couldn’t you let them get closer before shooting?

Lin Wu looked at the spider’s corpse, a thought flashed through his mind: "Cut its legs off."

Maya didn’t want to ask, knowing it would be pointless. Whenever Lin Wu’s mind went off on a tangent, he always came up with a method. Usually, it sounded reasonable but was utterly useless.

So, Lin Ma carried a 1.5-meter-long Spider Leg to the edge of the pool and used it to fish in the pool.

"Anything there?" Lin Wu asked.

As Maya moved the Spider Leg, she said, "I shouldn’t have trusted you." The pool was about 1.2 meters deep, deep enough to reach the bottom, but it was hard to tell by touch if she had made contact with any items.

Lin Wu turned to Wai: "Wai, feel around."

Poor Wai dipped a paw into the green water, and Lin Wu said, "Hold it up." Wai stood on three legs, raising its left front paw in front of Lin Wu.

After waiting a while, Lin Wu said, "Seems like it’s fine."

"Effective only on corpses?" Maya wasn’t so sure. She pulled out a machete, touched the green water with her left middle finger, and raised the machete in her right hand, ready to cut off her finger at any sign of trouble. After waiting, there were no issues. But then another problem arose; even without safety concerns, Maya was hesitant to dive in. After all, this was all Lin Wu’s idea, and she knew all too well how unreliable Lin Wu’s thoughts could be. But damn it, sometimes Lin Wu’s ideas at least sounded feasible, and occasionally they turned out to be inspired.

Lin Wu looked at Maya: "You wouldn’t expect a little prince like me to do such a thing, would you? A woman should have some responsibility. You, a big woman, what’s there to be scared of? Are you even a woman..."

"Shut up, I’ll go," Maya took a deep breath, "If I don’t find an artifact, I’m throwing you in."

"Gross, I don’t want to bathe in your bath water."

Unable to bear listening any longer, Maya jumped directly into the green water, pinched her nose, and dived in. After groping for a while, she stood up holding a golden necklace in her hand. It was infuriating; there were actually artifacts. Looking at Lin Wu, who sat on a stone eating roast meat he brought from the game at home, he said upon seeing Maya’s gaze, "What are you looking at? Do I have artifacts on my face? Keep searching."

Don’t get angry, if I don’t get angry, he will.

Rings, flasks, pipes...

It took Maya 10 minutes to find six artifacts, and just as she was about to leave the pool, that wretched Lin Wu said, "You’re all wet anyway, why not search thoroughly one more time? What if you missed something?"
