Chapter 464: Chapter 240 Miscellaneous Affairs

After connecting with home, Stone agreed with Maya’s opinion that there was a huge amount of resources inside the airport. As for whether to seize the airport and how to take control of it, that was Maya’s business. Stone only reminded her that in theory, the ammunition for defensive facilities like theirs was unlimited. Even if they could take down drones, how would they deal with hundreds of combat robots? Judging by the robots’ external metallic covers, Lin Wu’s .22 Silencer would probably not be able to destroy them.

In the end, Maya decided to scavenge Shuixi Middle School. By saying scavenging, she essentially gave up on the idea of seizing the airport. With no other tasks at hand, they treated the dead horse as if it were alive, hoping they might find a way to crack the airport’s security. Shana’s analysis completely extinguished Maya’s hopes, as Shana believed that even if they found the access code, the players might only have the right to use and board the planes, not own the planes and the hangar.

The clues found during the scavenging corroborated Shana’s view. According to the clues, before the virus outbreak, all teachers and students of Shuixi Middle School had been evacuated, and the school had turned into an exclusive airport for Fortress Company’s special agents and mercenaries. Fortress Company had invested heavily in the airport’s security system to ensure its operation even after Left County fell into chaos. After all, there are traffic jams, but no air traffic jams.

A diary noted that last month, there were a total of five Flight missions from this airport, with a different access code for each mission. Fortress Company deployed approximately 100 Fortress agents and ten tons of supplies through the airport, and 20 people left Left County via the airport.

The place where the diary was found was on the fourth floor of the building closest to the hangar, which now housed only zombies, not living people. Zombies had occupied all areas except for the hangar and a certain range of the runway.

The only piece of good news was that there was a satellite phone in the room where the diary was located, with no stored numbers but with a working call function. Presumably, Fortress Company used this satellite phone to communicate with the personnel stationed at Shuixi Middle School’s airport. This meant that the players could get the access code through the satellite phone.

But after obtaining the access code, what could they do with it? Take a plane to a safe area? Lin Wu’s thought was more straightforward; they could see if they could steal something, depending on the situation. What if the theft failed? That would mean death, prompting him to strongly recommend Sunlight and Starlight. Starlight couldn’t help but laugh at the proposal, saying Lin Wu was a genius, but she also thought it was a good idea. If they could get the access code, she was willing to give it a try.

Besides, Lin Wu had another more direct idea: "Old Su, rush to finish the laser guidance." A gentleman always seeks revenge, and compared to stealing, Lin Wu was more inclined to blow the hangar sky-high.

They stayed at Shuixi Middle School until seven in the evening when Starlight’s injuries had finally healed, and the three of them, each with a pack of supplies and the satellite phone, left the school. Sunlight met his beloved wife in the parking lot, and everyone was touched by their love. However, in Stone’s view, this act was not Sunlight’s true intention, but a polite and habitual behavior.

Indeed, today, although Sunlight stayed at the base, he occasionally contacted Shana via headset to discuss some base issues, and the two had quite long conversations.

That night, a meeting was convened between the Three Leaders, Dashuang, Starlight, and Sunlight. The meeting decided to make a trip to Invincible Base the next day. On one hand, it was to conduct a trade, purchasing a batch of gasoline packets to prepare Incendiary Grenades for the upcoming siege on the Container Fort Base, as well as stocking fuel for the future. On the other hand, during the past month and a half, Shadow and North Town had been almost offline, and they hoped to get updates on several prospective medical staff members through external information.

Why were they having the meeting? Lin Wu and the others no longer participated in meetings as cajoling and threatening proved useless. So when they saw Stone leading the team the next day, they were stunned and tried to persuade him to reconsider, citing the bright future that awaited him with his lovely wife, Su Shi.

Today, four vehicles were set to depart, including the Overlord, a gas-guzzling armored truck that was the last to be fixed with a repair kit, a pickup truck, and the Star of the Road. Apart from trading with Invincible, the convoy intended to visit player settlements, aiming to trade weapons for supplies, especially ammunition packets and gasoline packets.

Many players had decided to leave Hardcore Mode. In non-hardcore mode, they had many ways to obtain resources, but few ways to get weapons. The convoy was expected to return fully loaded today.

But a lottery had to be conducted before departure to determine which two people would stay to guard the base. Although the threats at the Meteorological Station and the Sawmill bases were not high, someone had to stay to protect Su Shi and Emerald Feather. After being offline from the outside world for over a month, everyone was eager to go out, revisit old places.

Since Starlight and Sunlight were skilled drivers with high mileage, they, along with Maya and Stone, were exempt from the lottery as drivers. After listening, Lin Wu had an uneasy feeling, as it seemed he was always left out during team-building activities. Since he never participated in seafood catching, he might not be able to join the excursion.

As expected when he flipped his card, Lin Wu became the first person to stay at the base, and Dashuang also hadn’t caught any seafood, so she drew the second losing card. Fair is fair, Lin Wu and Wai watched the convoy leave. At that moment, Lin Wu understood Blizard Shana’s restless emotions even better.

Even Lin Wu wanted the chance to go out and see the world.

But on second thought, perhaps this was one of the reasons Maya had proposed seizing the Container Fort Base. If one got tired of the Sawmill, they could go to the Container Fort Base, which had water on one side and the sea on the other. Swimming, Fishing, watching the sunset—life was boundless in enjoyment there. Similarly, if one got sick of the stark ugliness of the Container Fort Base, they could visit the Sawmill to experience the industrial ambiance.
