Chapter 485: Chapter 247: The Last Three Days_3

Without a goal, he floated aimlessly for a while and soon lost interest. Back at the base, he saw Maya busily writing and sketching in the command center. Approaching, Lin Wu saw Maya compiling a list: mosquito coils, rainproof tarps, power strips, shampoo, body wash, laundry detergent, and other daily necessities.

Maya gestured for Lin Wu to sit down and spoke to Shana through the headset, "I think we should start stockpiling living supplies now... Yes, I’m worried that Hardcore Mode will slowly turn our home into Waste City."

Closing off the headset, Maya said, "Cotton is here; go greet her."

"Okay." Lin Wu went downstairs to wait outside the south gate, and soon, Stone arrived driving the Highway Star, bringing Cotton along.

"Hey, Cotton, long time no see." Could this be Cotton? A bit prettier than he remembered, she was not outshone by Shana, except for the stiffness in her face.

Cotton nodded politely and shook hands with Lin Wu, who in turn added Cotton to Doomsday Fortress, "Feel free to look around."

"Mm." Cotton walked into Doomsday Fortress with a touch of curiosity.

Lin Wu sat on the hood of a vehicle elsewhere, only for Stone to kick his leg over to shoo him off, "If you get damaged, Emerald Feather can fix you, but if it gets damaged, it’ll require a repair kit."

"Psh!" Lin Wu turned to watch Cotton as she entered the first level of the maze and asked, "How is she?"

Stone replied, "Trauma Syndrome."

"Oh?"

Stone explained, "She won the regional violin contest at 16. At 18, she was kidnapped by criminals who tortured her to extort ransom money, filming it to send to her parents. After getting the ransom, they tried to kill her to eliminate witnesses. Luckily her heart was on the right side, saving her life, but after that she became silent and never touched the violin again."

Lin Wu asked, "You making this up?"

Stone shot back, "Make it up your own head. It was Shana who recognized Cotton after seeing her. Shana said that after Cotton was discharged from the hospital, she gave up applying to music college and instead became a cop, specifically requesting to join the anti-kidnapping unit. She also mentioned Cotton received a medal from the district governor last year, though she didn’t pay attention to the particulars."

The two chatted idly for a bit until Stone drove away, without ever bringing up Daiyu.

...

There were three days left of spring, or actually just two since the system would force players out of the game on the last day. Those two days found Shana the busiest, as Maya put together a shopping list, and Shana led the team scouring the mall for items. They seemed quite tense about Hardcore Mode.

On the last day of spring, all players were transported to a small, dark room, followed by the option for a "choose-your-own" vacation. The vacation options: open travel which included choosing the destination and era. Lin Wu’s first choice was the African savannah of a few hundred thousand years BC, hoping to see mammoths, but instead of mammoths, he encountered dinosaurs and after being chased ten blocks by a Tyrannosaurus, was snatched out of the sky and dropped to his death by Pterosaurs.

On his second attempt, Lin Wu and Peanut chose the Three Kingdoms period. The scene opened with soldiers clashing with the enemy army, and unexpectedly, they ran into a fool named Lv Bu and both were beheaded.

The third time, Maya led everyone to the Normandy landings where they survived for just 30 seconds.

For their fourth venture, the members of Doomsday Fortress visited the Middle Ages. A minute into their street stroll, they met Papal Soldiers who accused Maya of being a witch. A fight ensued, ending with the sacrifice of the whole team.

The fifth time, the whole team joined a British privateering fleet and battled Black Pearl pirates for thirty rounds, eventually being sunk by the Black Pearl.

On the sixth attempt, they encountered Napoleon, hoping finally to land a main character script but were executed as spies for not speaking French.

The seventh time, they participated in the Civil War and lingered for two hours but left out of boredom.

The eighth was spent aboard the Titanic experiencing the collision with the iceberg.

On the ninth, they served as pilots in the Battle of Midway.

On their final outing, they traveled to revolutionary France, where after stabbing two soldiers, they experienced the guillotine.
