Chapter 510: Chapter 257: The Strongest_2

Maya gestured for Lin Wu to take it. Lin Wu pinched the card between his fingers and held it in front of his eyes, reading, "A 15kg bag of coffee, a packet of black tea, a birthday cake?" What the hell?

Everyone was also puzzled. When they went down to the airdrop room, they indeed found a large birthday cake on the floor. Shana went up to open the packaging and saw that there were words written on the cake: Happy Birthday, Cotton.

Shana turned to look at Cotton and asked, "Your birthday?" Unlike command-based bases, personal bases value individual privacy, and the system would not notify anyone of birthday information. Your parents might remember your birthday, your coworkers won’t, and you wouldn’t wish for coworkers to remember it either.

Cotton nodded her head.

Lin Wu suggested casually throwing a birthday party, and Shana proposed taking the birthday cake to the Sawmill for a barbecue birthday party. Everyone agreed to Shana’s suggestion, so they all got in the car and left. No one commented on the Airdrop System, no one discussed the ten-minute battle, and Lin Wu was left behind alone again. Even Little Wai was taken away again by his temporary guardian, Maya.

The frustrated Lin Wu left a cold warning, "Leaving me here alone, aren’t you afraid I’ll cause more trouble?"

Upon hearing this, everyone froze, as no one could exclude this possibility. Stone hurriedly called two commanders into a group to discuss, and they all believed that wherever Lin Wu was, turmoil was likely. But drawing lots was the basic credence of maintaining order and could not be destroyed. In the end, they decided to ignore him. They continued with their night of Mahjong, continued with the big barbecue, and continued with the birthday party.

Lin Wu was just bluffing. Starting from the early morning search and rescue, he had been busy all day, his muscles sore and weary, lying on the top container and watching the moon as he slowly drifted into sleep. In his dreams, there were Mahjong, barbecue, cake, and also alarms.

The beeping sound awakened Lin Wu, and he checked the electronic map, seeing that a player had entered the safe zone. Lin Wu rolled over to lie prone and pulled out his Silencer to look, only to see a woman in black floundering at the river’s edge and then diving into the water. Outside the safe zone, a man wearing a mask leaned against a tree, aiming his gun. The undulating waves caused him to miss his shot.

A man and a woman were fighting, whom to help?

Nonsense, obviously whoever invades the base dies. Lin Wu, having the high ground advantage, took a shot at the woman in the water: not dead? He checked the electronic map, no mistake, it was a player. Only two possibilities remained, the first: the other party had not been injured before. The second: the other party had a forehead guard.

After the update, players still can’t immediately kill other players, you can only instant kill if the opponent is already injured or bleeding when you headshot them.

Additionally, the system has added the heart as a vital point, where getting shot in the heart and the carotid artery in the neck is the same, leading to frantic bleeding. However, if you can receive quick medical treatment or have high-grade bandages, there’s still hope for survival. This seems to take into account the medical conditions of Blue Star, where everything can be exchanged. Except for the brain, as there’s a saying that the brain is a good thing.

Lin Wu looked toward the area outside the safe zone, where the masked man was watching Lin Wu. Neither fired, the masked man took another shot at the sea. Bullets crossing the border were intolerable, so Lin Wu returned fire, but the masked man seemed to know in advance and ducked back behind the tree.

Why didn’t Lin Wu kill the girl in the water? Because he recognized her identity, she was the lovable and friendly Nightmare.

Bullets hit the container in front of Lin Wu, splashing without a trace. Lin Wu instinctively hugged his head and crawled back a few steps, rolling over to change his shooting position and then quickly popping out again, aiming in a flash. The masked man kept searching for Lin Wu, and both fired almost at the same time, striking each other.

Lin Wu was hit in the shoulder, the masked man was hit in the head. Lin Wu quickly worked the bolt of his rifle to prepare another shot, but the masked man had already ducked behind the tree. Lin Wu initiated an emergency medical request: "Emergency medical." Even within the safe zone of the base, one could get injured, but life was incredibly tenacious, and two .22 caliber shots to the head might not kill Lin Wu. The exact calculation method had been explained by Maya, but Lin Wu hadn’t listened. Or perhaps he had, but didn’t remember.

Starlight responded, "Sir, do you need internal medicine or surgery?"

Starlight’s humor made Lin Wu want to spit blood, "I’ve been hit by a bullet." It was a matter of his own life, he couldn’t follow Starlight’s lead.

Starlight: "That would be surgery. Emerald Feather, you’ve got a patient."

Lin Wu peeked again and saw that the masked man had already gotten into a car, reversing it, and even hit Nightmare’s car in the process of backing up. Lin Wu fired, but missed, the man turned the car around. Lin Wu worked the bolt again, took another shot, and still missed. In the end, he could only watch as the man drove off in a sedan.

Lin Wu looked down to see Nightmare lying on the seawall road as if dead, only turning over after a long while to face up to the sky. Apparently, her stamina was utterly depleted from the escape. Lin Wu considered for 0.01 seconds, but still decided not to take another shot. After all, he had seen her face, and he couldn’t fool even himself with a friendly fire excuse.

Nightmare spat out and gasped for a long while. Seeing Lin Wu’s head exposed above, continuously watching her, she couldn’t help but fume, "At least as partners, can’t you come down and help me up?" Nightmare omitted calling him Lin Dog. As a rational person, one should not offend the waiter in a restaurant, nor Lin Wu in Doomsday Fortress.

Lin Wu: "I can’t, I’m receiving medical treatment." Any movement would cause bleeding, and though it wasn’t much, it was his own blood.

Nightmare was silent for a long while, not knowing whether she was dumbfounded by anger. After a while, Nightmare managed to sit up with difficulty and looked around: "Is this Shadow’s base?"
