Chapter 395: Chapter 212 Temporary Base_2

Maya smiled and took her repeating crossbow off her back, "Hm?"

Lin Wu looked horrified, "You smiled."

Maya slapped Lin Wu on the head, "Kill it."

You dare to hit me? Once we’re on the ground, I’ll torture you to death.

Lin Wu drew his Silent Night revolver, and Lock Head fired, Lock Head fired, two Frenzies taking bullets like fools. After eating two more bullets, Frenzy A failed to dodge properly and plunged to its death in a clumsy fall, its hands—like claws—grasping at thin air in a futile attempt to save itself.

The Frenzy that fell fifty meters instantly became a dead Frenzy. Frenzy B, on the other hand, was stubborn enough to take enough bullets before falling to its death. Although Lin Wu tried desperately to catch the body, he had no chance, and could only watch as it too smashed into a pulp.

Lin Wu looked down, "Look, the serum has been smashed out."

Maya glanced through binoculars, "It’s blood."

Lin Wu: "I know, I just wanted to see if there were any fools who believed it." Can’t wait to get to land.

Maya, lost for words, pushed Lin Wu, "Let’s go." The angrier I get, the prouder you become. If I’m not angry, the awkwardness is all on you.

...

After an indeterminate amount of time, the two finally reached their destination, the rooftop of a 27-story office building. Unlike the Left County Hotel, this was a sealed-off rooftop. Power cables plugged into a large transformer, surrounded by three-meter-high walls, with signs of high-voltage danger posted on the outside.

Looking down from above, part of the rooftop floor was made of special glass materials, which could be opened with electricity to let the 27th floor enjoy natural sunlight. Besides, there were structures like open-air concrete substations built all around. There was also an area that, although relatively open, was cluttered with lots of scrap furniture.

The appearance of the scrap furniture was due to a city problem of exchanging old furniture. To have a waste dealer take away bulky old furniture and appliances, one would have to pay them, and they might not even be willing to do it. Thus, some people dumped unwanted furniture on rooftops without surveillance cameras, resulting in a striking "scenery line" over time.

The transformer was three meters off the ground. Out in the open, both of them didn’t want to take unnecessary risks. After retracting the rope, they used it to slide down. Lin Wu edged over to the door used by maintenance staff and started picking the lock. Being outdoors and long neglected by maintenance staff, the lock was clogged with sand.

Giving up on lock picking, Lin Wu utilized the right angles of the corner walls to hop up and climb atop the three-meter-high wall. After lowering the rope and ensuring Maya had a firm grip, Lin Wu tried to pull her up but couldn’t budge Maya.

Maya warned hastily, "Don’t talk nonsense." The fact that you can’t pull me up means you’re lacking strength, but you’ll definitely say I’m too fat. I’m a reasonable person, but I can’t be reasonable with you because you know I am right. As the saying goes, the ones who wrong you know better than you how much they have wronged you.

Wow, she can read minds. Lin Wu flashed a toothy smile as he told Maya to hold tight while he used her as a weight to descend down the rope outside. Then he found a suitable anchor to attach the rope and Maya climbed up the wall using her own strength. But climbing down presented a minor trouble.

Three meters was neither high nor low, a jump could result in a fracture, or it might not. The clever Lin Wu came up with a solution, he asked Maya to go back. With the help of the anchorage and Maya, Lin Wu made it back to the top of the wall, then back inside. He tied the rope to the pillar holding up the transformer, pulling the rope into a triangle. The three points were the low anchorage, the low pillar, and the high rooftop.

When both used the triangular rope setup to successfully scale the wall and land outside, Lin Wu couldn’t help but boast, "I’m smart, aren’t I?"

Maya nodded sincerely.

Lin Wu frowned, "Your attitude annoys me."

Maya was frustrated, "Do you expect me to question you?"

Lin Wu nodded, "Exactly, you’re a warrior, you need to have a rebellious spirit."

Maya put a hand on Lin Wu’s shoulder and after a long while said, "I can’t be bothered to resist." I thought going along with you, Juvenile Ghost, would save me some trouble. But now you’ve stepped it up, not caring whether you’re happy or not, you just have to contradict others, making them unhappy.

Lin Wu said, "I just want to know what your means of resistance are."

Maya pushed Lin Wu away and with a running start, she stepped on the wall and leapt, grasping the top of the wall firmly with her hands, then used the strength of her fingers to climb up. After that, Maya let herself dangle and pushed herself off the wall with her feet and released her hands, breaking her fall with a backward roll upon landing.

Maya stood up, flicking sand off her shoulder and stepped in front of Lin Wu, "OK?"

"Climbing up and down, you’re really boring."

Flip out, beat up! Everyone has their limits. Lin Wu held his head, "But that was really cool."

As soon as he said that, it wasn’t fun anymore. Should I hit him or not? Maya was bemused, "Please be serious for a moment," as she pulled Lin Wu to his feet. So he doesn’t later ask for help standing up, which would just make her want to hit him again.

Even the hottest water can do nothing to a dead pig. If you want to hit, let you hit, you dare not hurt me anyway. I want to speak, and I will speak, the purpose of my words... Wrong? Lin Wu reflected, my purpose for speaking out seems to be to provoke Maya to hit me. This doesn’t make sense logically. Maybe I’m mentally ill, liking the feeling of being disliked by others yet not being able to get rid of myself?
