Chapter 408: Chapter 217 Seven-Star Siege

After entering Sewer 99, Lin Wu initially spent 20 seconds surveying the blueprint, before moving quickly forward with Wai, relying on memory after confirming he couldn’t understand the blueprint. Minutes later, they arrived at a landmark lit up with a bright sign, where they encountered eight zombies. Lin Wu took down four with the Silencer, Silent Night killed two, and the last two were disposed of with the Wind Stinger.

Leaving the heap of zombies behind, they moved on. Wai’s head emitted specks of Starlight and a series of bows, which looked eerie rather than endearing in the dark tunnel. However, the faint light alerted Lin Wu that Wai had entered an alert state; its head turned to the side, exuding hostility.

Lin Wu spotted a fork in the path seven meters away and knew what to do; he turned off his headlamp and entered Stealth mode. Wai followed suit, crouching and proceeding like a cat. Leaning around the corner, Lin Wu suddenly turned and switched his headlamp back on, "Oops!" He saw the Night Demons, but he hadn’t expected three of them in such a tight space, with the furthest no more than two meters away.

Three people, suddenly encountering one wolf, would instinctively jump in fright, but the three Night Demons didn’t jump when they ran into Lin Wu, which went against the norm. After their initial fright, three people might attack the wolf since they outnumber it. But the Night Demons didn’t attack; overwhelmed by the bright light and discovery, they collectively followed their system-instinct command: flee.

The result was two Night Demons dead from headshots, and the third skedaddling. Lin Wu took a couple of steps in pursuit, then suddenly remembered the ambush he had previously experienced and, gun ready, turned toward the small passage on the left. Sure enough, a Night Demon sprang forth, nearly face to face, its paw-like hand raised in attack. Lin Wu’s Silencer in hand, Lock Head loaded, the bullet flew out and spun 180 degrees to kill it. The Night Demon that was shot in the head staggered for 0.1 seconds before collapsing, taking down Lin Wu under its weight.

Every part of the Night Demon was muscle, weighing over a hundred kilograms. Lin Wu struggled to free himself: "Wai."

Wai ran up, tearing and dragging the corpse of the Night Demon aside, assisting its master to escape the predicament. Lin Wu looked around and then crouched to pat the dog’s head: "Today’s event, you and I know. If a third person finds out, you know what will happen, right?"

Wai looked at Lin Wu, unable to comprehend such a long command.

Lin Wu: "Nod."

Wai nodded.

"Let’s go."

Lin Wu, brave and unyielding, knocked down three squads of zombies and two gangs of Night Demons along the way and safely reached Exit 1. After sticking out his head to ensure it was safe, Lin Wu told Wai to wait for him as he ascended the ladder to the edge of the soccer field.

Three Titans, seven Frenzies, and dozens of zombies were dispersed across the field, with 14 minutes already passing by then. Lin Wu locked onto the position of the Resource Box, about 20 meters near one of the goalposts, where two Frenzies were patrolling around the green Resource Box.

With the NPC in dire straits, Lin Wu remained as steady as Mount Tai, not charging in but stealthily approaching the Resource Box. A Frenzy seemed to sense danger and walked away, while another Frenzy stood obliviously on top of the Resource Box. The next second, a hand reached from behind, gripping its neck, and a dagger pierced its skull.

Blueprints for a base fence, learnable by junior engineers. Once learned, one can construct system fences using different materials, such as bamboo slats, wooden fences, iron fences, and so forth.

Fence: A man-made barrier recognized by the system, considered part of base structures. This explanation implies that fences won’t be reset. Fences have durability, can be destroyed and repaired, and placed at will. Theoretically, one could use eighteen layers of iron fences to seal the back door, and even if the entire family of Titans attacked, it would take them an hour to break through.

If it doesn’t concern you, don’t interfere. Had Lin Wu not been focused on rescuing others, he would have missed the blueprints.

Lin Wu glanced at the Resource Box and, curious, opened it – wasn’t there supposed to be a combination lock? Then, Lin Wu saw a trove of resources.

The Resource Box was divided into three layers: the top layer had three boxes. From the packaging, one could tell the first box held Lin Wu’s mission target. The second contained bullets, and the third, a small reconnaissance drone. The second layer held two assault rifles, and the third, a sniper rifle.

The Resource Box had a tiered design, pulling out to reveal all three layers to Lin Wu’s eager gaze. However, each compartment was locked with a combination lock. The NPC had only given Lin Wu the code for the medical box and warned him that inputting the wrong code would trigger an explosion.

"Call Su Shi."

"I’m here."

"Grab the whip, the branding iron, and make the NPC cough up the other boxes’ codes."

"What codes?"

"The Resource Box has more than just the mission-required drugs – there’s a sniper rifle, bullets, a drone, and other goodies. But I only know the code for the mission drugs. Entering the wrong code supposedly detonates it."

...

Little Knife exited the instance with a backpack full of oysters, only to witness a scene that stunned her for a few seconds. She turned tail and ran back into the instance, shouting as she ran, "Everyone, everyone, listen to me, everyone." She stumbled and fell face-first into the mud, but she didn’t care, scrambling forward using her hands and feet in the mire.

Seeing this, everyone dropped what they were doing and rushed over, each running through the mud at different paces. Some ran so hard they became as muddy as dogs, while others moved too slowly and missed the intersection, having to run even further.
