Chapter 474: Chapter 243 Departure_3

The interior of the container fortress was constructed from rectangular blocks of containers, creating an overall appearance that seemed chaotic, but a closer study would reveal an extremely meticulous layout.

The first floor was laid out in a swastika shape, with narrow passages and terrains that could be easily defended by one and difficult to overcome even by thousands. Apart from elevators, there were iron ladders at each corner of the swastika leading to every location on the second floor.

The second floor was the living area, flat and easy to navigate, structured overall like the character for rice, allowing players rapid access to other parts of the second floor.

The third floor was actually the rooftop, which was where Lin Wu and Little Knife were at the highest point of the container base. It had a simple and crude layout resembling the character for mouth, and was designed to avoid blocking light to the living area. Players who enjoyed basking in the sun, watching the moon, feeling the breeze, or getting rained on could climb the elevator up to the rooftop at their leisure.

Every advantage has its disadvantage; the biggest drawback of the container fortress was the harsh conditions during the rainy season. One would get wet as soon as they stepped out and could only nestle within the building units. The building units were simply empty containers. Most of the containers on the second floor were empty; otherwise, there wouldn’t be 18 small compartments. The second floor could be simply understood as an array of box warehouses, with a long corridor at the entrance to the building units.

Therefore, a large number of zombies were hiding on the second floor. Blood Heart was also on the second floor, at the central point of the rice-shaped structure. The rice character represented roads, and beyond it, there was a mouth-shaped layout. The building units were piled around the mouth character, overlapping with the mouth-shaped structure on the third floor.

Lin Wu went down to the mouth-shaped Corridor Bridge on the second floor, while Little Knife followed his actions on the edge of the third floor. Lin Wu stopped, and Little Knife saw two zombies seven meters away, immediately drawing his bow and taking down one with an arrow. The body fell, making a loud noise due to the Corridor Bridge’s steel grate structure. The second zombie then fell to the ground.

Lin Wu hid inside a container, watching the surrounding zombies leave their containers to check out the commotion through a drone. There were quite a few, including several Frenzies. In total, there were two Titans within the fortress, located at Blood Heart’s position, which was the center of the rice character.

Little Knife continued to act, successively taking down zombies and successfully clearing a small area of them. However, some zombies were far enough from the source of the noise that they only stepped out of their containers for a quick look before returning inside.

Lin Wu proceeded forward, with Little Knife following and eliminating all zombies on the Corridor Bridge. Some zombies just stayed at the doorways of the building units, seemingly prepared for a surprise attack. Fortunately, with the aid of a drone, Lin Wu had a clear view of the situation, killing or bypassing as necessary to safely make a round along the Corridor Bridge.

Lin Wu returned to the top floor and, with Little Knife, pulled the supplies from Horse Soul to the top floor. After arranging everything in order, Lin Wu packed nine bombs in his backpack, and Little Knife also carried nine bombs. Lin Wu went down to the Corridor Bridge on the second floor, while Little Knife followed his movement from the top floor, and the two began another patrol.

The first location was at the top of the rice character. When Lin Wu reached the spot, he attached the bomb to the railing and reported through the headset, "Position one in place."

Maya took a deep breath, "Let’s begin."

Lin Wu checked his watch, pressed the timer, then activated the bomb, starting a ten-minute countdown. After moving clockwise to the second location and placing the bomb, he waited silently until the timer reached 9 minutes and 20 seconds before pressing the activation button on the bomb and continuing on to the third location.

There was a minor incident along the way when a zombie stepped out of a container. Lin Wu, busy checking the time, failed to notice it on the drone, but luckily Little Knife was on full alert and finished off the zombie with an arrow through its head. The body fell, and six zombies, including a Frenzy, emerged from the vicinity. Lin Wu, armed with Silent Night and Lock Head, coordinated with Little Knife to quickly clean them up.

Lin Wu walked briskly using his stealth mode, fueled by stamina. After reaching the third location, he immediately activated the bomb. Checking the time, he had just made it. Lin Wu was relieved that Maya always allowed a buffer of more than ten seconds at each location.
