Chapter 328: Chapter 187 Defending the City (Part 1)

Fortunately, Rich Lin Wu brought some medicine into the game from the outside, which included Hemostatic Bandages that could prevent bleeding for 5 minutes. Even better news was that the two bleeding holes were so close to each other that one bandage could cover both wounds.

Lin Wu couldn’t stay there long, so he immediately left with Wai. Being shot, Lin Wu’s maximum health dropped by 20 points, and his agility was also reduced. However, with his double Agility, Lin Wu wasn’t bothered much by these side effects.

Man and dog emerged from the tunnel to find it was already dark outside. They immediately ran into someone. While the Hunter was still recognizing who Lin Wu was, Lin Wu’s Lock Head fired three times in quick succession, showing no mercy in killing him. Even at this moment, Lin Wu did not ignore the body. Unfortunately, he found no medicine, only bullets.

Suddenly, Lin Wu started cursing Dawn. If he moved too quickly, the bandage would stop working sooner, leading to more bleeding. The logic was sound, of course; injuries naturally bleed. But Lin Wu didn’t want to accept logic; he preferred to ignore the facts.

His own life was at stake; there was no time to discuss specifics with Dawn. Then, feeling a bit panicked, Lin Wu realized he had gone the wrong way. He took out a map and, after looking at it for a while, still couldn’t figure out where he was.

Lin Wu felt this might be his end. It was pitch-black around him with no place to hide. There were still 15 bandages left, and two bottles of painkillers with 50 pills in total, which could last him about an hour and a half. This time was just enough for Lin Wu to hurry back to the supply point in Zone 4 from the statue. Getting lost now was equivalent to death.

Lin Wu looked at Wai, his savior, "Can Hunting Dog lead the way?"

Wai sat waiting for Lin Wu’s command.

Lin Wu showed the map to Wai and said, "Woof woof?"

"Woof woof."

"Woof." Communicating with a dog was straightforward.

Wai stood up and sniffed around before heading forward, which pleasantly surprised Lin Wu. After a while, Lin Wu realized he was being irradiated. Not wanting to wear his protective suit, he popped an anti-radiation pill instead. God, his liver and kidneys must be so strong to snack on pills like that.

Half an hour later.

Lin Wu said, "Wai, this doesn’t seem right. I’ve never seen these rows of statues." It could be a museum or an art gallery; the two rows of statues formed a path leading straight to the building.

Wai continued forward without a peep, walked into the museum, and went through its back door. As Lin Wu followed, he grew more and more doubtful. This place was deserted, not a single Hunter or player in sight.

"Wai, have you heard of star anise and bay leaf?" Lin Wu did have a digital map. Though the digital map was useless, Lin Wu had never seen the building layout it showed nearby.

Wai kept walking, occasionally stopping to sniff. An hour passed while they wandered, Lin Wu’s bandages ran out, and he was now down to popping painkillers like candy.

After finishing the first bottle of painkillers, Wai stopped dead at the edge of a two-story, ordinary villa. Only a few walls of the villa were left, with the staircase visible from outside and maybe one or two rooms still intact.

"Here?" Lin Wu couldn’t believe it, "The supply point turned into this?"

Wai lay down on the ground, not responding.

Lin Wu withdrew his doubtful gaze, took his medicine, racked his gun, and climbed into the villa through the broken wall. He saw a fire inside, approached carefully, took another pill, and then held up his gun to step forward.

This was the kitchen of the villa. A fire was lit with an old pot hanging over it, cooking something inside. Three people sat around the fire — Little Knife, Snow Egg, and Eternal Light Bulb Ma Soul. The trio were startled by the sudden appearance, and then shocked to see it was Lin Wu. Lin Wu turned to look at Wai: You’re a real dog, finding this place like this, does Little Knife smell that bad?

Little Knife immediately came forward with a hug, and the Soulless brother stood up too, while Lin Wu hurriedly said, "Wait, give me a bandage, a hemostatic bandage."

Snow Egg quickly handed over a bandage, and Horse Soul asked, "Lin, what happened?"

As Lin Wu applied the bandage, he answered, "Got shot twice. How did you guys end up here?"

Little Knife replied, "Hiding from the fog."

Lin Wu acknowledged with an "Oh," took five bandages, glanced at the pot, which was cooking two strips of beef jerky. That’s rough, isn’t it?

Lin Wu asked, "Where are Shana and Emerald Feather?"

Little Knife questioningly said, "You’re not asking about Peanut?"

Lin Wu responded, "I know about Peanut."

Everyone started asking, "Peanut’s still alive?"

Lin Wu nodded, "What did you think?"

"Thought he was dead."

Lin Wu inquired, "What about Shana and Emerald Feather?"

"They’re definitely dead," Little Knife said definitively, nodding, "I saw their bodies."

Lin Wu questioned, "Their guns?"

When they got separated from Peanut, they split into three groups, Little Knife and the Soulless brother sticking together nearby to search for others. They heard some noise about a hundred meters away and headed towards the building area. When they got close, they saw Shana shouting from the fourth floor of a building, warning them about landmines and not to advance. Then, Shana was shot dead.

The shooter was Golden Hair Nightmare. After killing Shana, Golden Hair aggressively attacked Emerald Feather, who soon ended up dead as well. By the time Little Knife and the others made their way around the mines and up to the dangerous area, the place was deserted.

Unable to decipher paper maps well, the three of them soon got lost, thankfully encountering players from the Hundred-man Team. Originally numbering in the hundreds and bound for supply point four, they incurred heavy casualties along the way. Believing that Hunters had ambushed them on their predetermined route, they decided to change their course to supply point one instead, and so the trio, along with the Hundred-man Team, reached supply point one.
