Chapter 360: Chapter 179 Trust?_3

"How shall we bet?"

Lin Wu said, "Let’s bet on the odd or even number of bullets in the magazine of my Silencer." Lin Wu pulled out the magazine of the Silencer.

Nightmare gritted his teeth and placed the Dawn Medal on the ground: "Fine, I bet on even."

Lin Wu flipped the bullets with his thumb: "Odd, even, odd, even, odd, even... odd! Sorry about that." Lin Wu lifted the magazine to show Nightmare clearly.

This little trickster! Nightmare was speechless, waving his hand, "Take it. I hope you’ll come blackmail me after you’ve taken it."

Unexpectedly, Lin Wu picked up his own Forest Wolf that was placed on the ground: "Let’s collaborate again if there’s a chance, goodbye." And he was gone.

Nightmare shouted angrily, "Are you crazy?"

Lin Wu turned to look at the medal on the ground. Nightmare squeezed out a smile for the first time in 27 years: "Take care on your way, don’t fall to your death."

Lin Wu snorted and left with Maya. Maya didn’t participate in their bet, knowing that Lin Wu was testing whether Nightmare was a trustworthy collaborator. Lin Wu had applied several rounds of pressure; if Nightmare turned hostile in those earlier rounds, Lin Wu would have definitely offered apologies and smiled, believing that due to Maya’s presence, Nightmare wouldn’t go as far as killing him.

After confirming that Nightmare was a trustworthy collaborator, Lin Wu didn’t take the medal to blackmail Nightmare into taking both Forest Wolves. Instead, he left the medal for Nightmare. Maya was relieved by this; the young man was growing all the time and had a promising future. So she told Lin Wu the details about the Dawn Medal mission.

Lin Wu wasn’t interested in this explanation, his mind on something else as he asked, "Do you think I could get infected if I accidentally drank some river water?"

Maya’s thoughts hadn’t yet resettled.

Lin Wu said, "If it does cause infection, you could soak a zombie in a water tank and then soak Crossbow Arrows in it. Wouldn’t your arrows then carry the virus?"

After some serious thought, Maya realized she couldn’t answer his question. When she finally figured out a response, Lin Wu answered his own question: "Probably not, otherwise fish caught from the river would be inedible. But it’s not certain, pigs eat swill, I eat pork, but that doesn’t mean I’m eating swill."

"Shush." One word settled it; she thought Lin Wu sometimes needed a concussion. How to put it? His wild ideas often made the ordinary extraordinary and the extraordinary ordinary. This led to Maya sweating bullets every time she faced Lin Wu’s bizarre thoughts and proposals, secretly following his thought process to see whether it would actually work.

For instance, Crossbow Arrows soaked in a tank might not carry the virus, but what if the arrowheads were made of zombie teeth? Or what if a piece of zombie flesh was tied to the arrowhead? If it hit a player, could it cause an infection?

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Wu looked back at Maya, puzzled.

Maya shook her head: "Let’s go." She felt like she was being led astray.

Lin Wu said, "North Town is done for."

Maya wondered, had his brain slipped again?

Lin Wu said, "The tunnel to Right County is blocked by Titan and Blood Heart. Nightmare needs to accumulate 1,000 points and can only do so by killing players from North Town. If I were Nightmare, I’d choose Invincible first, the quality of Invincible Base is high. Then I’d pick the church on the hilltop, where there are many players. He probably won’t come after us."

Maya wasn’t concerned: "Many people will choose modes other than Hardcore Mode after summer comes. In the future, the number of players in this game will diminish further. But those who remain are capable. This is the selection process. Points can explain the situation to an extent, but not completely, Dawn still needs to further categorize players."

Lin Wu said, "This is something I don’t like about you, always linking the game content with reality."

Maya didn’t argue: "Titan, detour." Avoiding the subject, she believed Lin Wu wouldn’t bring it up again.
