Chapter 339: Chapter 191: Sawmill Base

The Soulless brothers’ prizes were fairly average, they chose an item that increased attribute star experience by 5%.

Peanut’s score wasn’t low, and he exchanged it for a tier 40 prize: night vision skill. His eyes came with a built-in night vision capability, and the best part was that they weren’t affected by bright light. Everyone debated for a long time whether this prize was good or bad. Anyway, if there was ever a need for a night shift, Peanut would be the go-to person.

This conclusion drove Peanut crazy. Stone, being a considerate elder, explained to him the theory of social value, and with a metaphorical big pancake slap, Peanut could only accept his misfortune.

Next, they tallied up their bullet inventory. Firstly, the bullets of players who had died were all gone, and survivors like Lin Wu and Maya had also used up all their bullets, so they had to inventory their stock. The inventory showed 120 pistol rounds, 60 assault rifle rounds, 20 .50 caliber rounds, and 200 .22 caliber rounds. The reason there were so many .22 caliber rounds left was that Lin Wu, The Silencer, had hardly fired any shots during the instance.

Faced with the changes in armament, Maya had to come up with a new strategy to take over the sawmill.

...

Spring warmth brought revived life, and snow melted at a visible rate. Within half a day, snow had gathered into water, seeped into the ground, and flowed into rivers.

On the second morning of spring, Shadow dismantled the base, transporting all the movable materials onto several vehicles, and drove first to the supermarket base. Five minutes after they left, a gunfight broke out at the Mountain Top Church Base, as three groups fought over it.

Six cars, led by Maya’s front vehicle, entered Left County via route 2, took a right turn over the Left County bridge to arrive at Shuixi’s route 3. Leaving route 3, they drove through the industrial zone for about 40 minutes, and the convoy arrived near the sawmill.

Maya looked for the right time and place to stop the car. Everyone but Su Shi got out and took down all the zombies chasing the convoy, securing a safe area.

Lin Wu sent a drone to recon the sawmill about a hundred meters away.

The sawmill was vast, consisting of four plots of land. The indoor factory was in the center, with a huge open space to the north where eight outdoor slots were located. The indoor factory had only four small slots due to a sawmill machine.

Two plots were the parking lots on the east and west sides of the factory, and ten meters south of the factory was the industrial road. Although there wasn’t a large-scale horde of the undead, small groups often passed by.

The sawmill had only one advantage: its size. Because it was large, there were many slots, especially large slots. But there were many disadvantages: the terrain was flat, lacking a second floor for multidimensional defense. There were walls and iron fences to the north, south, east, and west, each with a gate. The best approach was to build watchtowers in the eastern and western positions of the large slots in the backyard; the two towers could eliminate all targets except those in the factory area. Moreover, because of the open terrain and the large number of zombies around, it served as a good place for shooting practice.

Lin Wu explained while Shana drew the map.

Lin Wu said, "There are two Frenzies in the eastern parking lot, thirteen zombies, two Screamers, and one Exploding Carnage. The western parking lot has one Frenzy, twenty zombies, four Screamers, and two Exploding Carnages. There are five Frenzies in the backyard, over thirty zombies, four Exploding Carnages, and four Screamers. Near the backyard gate, there’s a river with a Titan in it, but I’m not sure if it will join the fight."

Maya asked, "How far is it from the back gate?"

Lin Wu replied, "About 25 meters."

Maya said, "What about inside the factory? Can the drone fly in?" They didn’t have many bullets, at most enough to take down a Titan.

"The factory is fifteen meters high; the drone can fly in there. There are no Frenzies inside, but there are over twenty zombies, two Exploding Carnages, and two Screamers."

Maya asked, "Can you stealth and assassinate?"

Lin Wu said, "I should be able to handle it. However, the area is too large; as I deal with one area, zombies will respawn in other areas."

Maya took the map from Shana, circled spots on it, and said, "First, we’ll take over the western parking lot and have Snow Egg and Horse Soul hold their positions. Next, we’ll take over the factory; Stone, Shana, and I will hold our positions. Then, we’ll take over the eastern parking lot, with Little Knife and Emerald Feather holding their positions. I can freely support any area from the factory. Finally, we’ll take the backyard, with Peanut providing support."

Maya told everyone, "Holding a position means preventing zombies from respawning, but only within a 15-meter radius. Hence, two people per location need to solidly cover both sides. This way, even if zombies respawn, they can only appear between the two people, and we can eliminate them immediately. All pistols should be equipped with silencers; since we only have two professional silencers, everyone should avoid firing unless absolutely necessary."

Maya said, "We can’t just brute force this assault. If a Screamer lets out a howl, everyone must retreat towards the cars alternately at the first opportunity. Su Shi, stay in the trunk; you won’t have any problems." The aftermath of the expedition: a shortage of bullets.

...

Maya answered everyone’s questions, made detailed arrangements, and nine people set off, smoothly advancing to near the western parking lot of the sawmill. The two sides of the parking lot were stacked with large cylindrical logs, creating a natural barrier for the lot.

Lin Wu stealthily advanced, and everyone followed. Lin Wu shot calmly, first taking down the Screamers, then gradually whittling down the Frenzies. The most dangerous turned out to be the Exploding Carnages, as hitting their bodies would cause explosions. The heads of Exploding Carnages were tiny, their bodies inflated like balloons, but fortunately, Lin Wu had mastered playing The Silencer to perfection. After all, an Exploding Carnage’s head was bigger than a rat’s, so he took down the western parking lot without any surprises.
