Chapter 512: Chapter 258: Food Searching

"Blood Meng’s voice came through the walkie-talkie, ’Little brother, are you missing your sister?’"

Lin Wu wasn’t surprised at all, and said with a grin, "Sister is good, sister is wonderful, sister’s pockets are full of cash."

Blood Meng was not pleased, "Can you be serious for a moment?"

"I can."

Blood Meng asked, "Can you hand over Nightmare?"

"I can."

Blood Meng was taken aback, "That agreeable?"

Lin Wu answered, "When sister asks, how can little brother say no? She’s already lost her combat effectiveness, just come and drag her away."

"Haha, you won’t be taking cold shots, will you?" Once in the safe zone, they were like lambs to the slaughter.

Lin Wu answered honestly, "I will. My shoulder is still bleeding."

Blood Meng regretfully said, "They didn’t know it was you, can I apologize on their behalf?"

Lin Wu said, "Sister, why don’t you apologize to them? Although their points aren’t high, a tiny fly is still meat. You lured them in, I beat them half to death, and then you deal with them, how about that?"

Blood Meng refused, "That’s impossible, we have an alliance."

"So what do we do?" Lin Wu deployed his drone, starting to search in the direction the masked people were retreating. Lin Wu said, "Little brother can’t just get shot for nothing, how about a few hundred bullets to compensate for the injuries to my body and soul?"

Blood Meng laughed, "Looks like there’s no way to negotiate. Little brother, don’t leave the base lightly, okay? It’s very dangerous outside."

"Thank you, sister. You also take care of yourself."

"Okay, little brother, goodbye." Blood Meng hung up, then said to three people around her, "He’s not going for it."

The masked person said, "We’ll just wait around here, kill any player we catch."

Fortress Alpha said, "Perhaps we can take hostages from Lin Wu’s base."

Blood Meng said, "With Nightmare’s injury, she won’t leave the base today. We’ll discuss further when Nightmare revives in half an hour. Let’s eat something first."

Blood Meng’s temporary base was a small villa by the road, with only two beds. The penalty for not having enough beds currently only affected morale. Morale influences attributes. For them, who primarily used firearms, this did not have a huge impact.

Blood Meng stepped out of the front door. The small villa was situated high up, and Blood Meng used a telescope to look towards the dock road, which was very quiet. This position allowed not only for a view of the dock road but also a partial view of the seawall road. She was not worried about Lin Wu’s counter-attack; the four of them, with their four assault rifles and four magazines each, would exhaust Lin Wu’s bullets even if they won a direct assault, making it a Pyrrhic victory. Blood Meng believed Lin Wu would not do something so foolish.

Half an hour later, Nightmare found the temporary base, and they discussed the current situation. Nightmare, upon hearing that the other party was Lin Wu, felt a bit timid, having suffered too many times at Lin Wu’s hands. At the same time, he was also excited; in Hardcore Mode, with their firearms and bullets, they had a crushing advantage over the players. Even if the players had plenty of ammunition, they would conserve every bullet. After all, the players were just players, while they were experienced genuine Doomsday Fortress agents.

After the discussion, they decided on a strategy of encirclement and reinforcement, setting up a sentry to monitor the dock road and the seawall road, and looking for opportunities to eliminate them with a sniper rifle.

Blood Meng then arranged for people to stand watch in shifts so that everyone could rest in turn. While the sentry was still under construction, Blood Meng smelled a strange scent; was it a fire? She looked around and saw no issues, then she and Nightmare, equally perplexed, came out of the villa to inspect. They saw no one around, but when they looked up, they saw a smoke grenade creating a large amount of red smoke.

Before they could react, the first shell fell on the roof, pierced through it, and exploded on the second floor, instantly cracking the entire wooden villa. Then came the second, and the third; the bombshells poured down like hail.

After cursing ’F*ck,’ Nightmare and Blood Meng were torn to shreds by the blast of the explosions.

Two hundred meters away, Cotton, lurking in the darkness, watched the fireworks bloom and replied, "Mission accomplished."

Lin Wu praised, "Cotton, you’re the best. Nightmare, there should be a reward here." Lin Wu had ultimately added Nightmare to Doomsday Fortress to execute their battle plan.

Nightmare, not as shameless as Lin Wu and with fewer people as unabashed as Lin Wu in asking for a reward, said, "Let me hide for 48 hours, 30 rounds of 5.56 ammo."

Lin Wu asked, "Don’t you think that’s too low a price?"

Nightmare said, "Then what? My warehouse is far away, it’s not easy to make a return trip. If it really doesn’t work out, you can set a price and I’ll run a tab."

Lin Wu asked, "You don’t have anything valuable on you?"

Nightmare asked, "Do you want a rifle?"

"Don’t want it."

Nightmare took out a magazine, waved it in front of Lin Wu, then put it aside, "Only 30 bullets."

"Skill Book, Outpost Card, anything will do."

"Outpost Card?" Nightmare was startled.

Everyone’s heart leapt with joy, fearing Lin Wu would spoil the deal. Maya was the first to speak up in the channel, "Nightmare, do you have an Outpost Card?"

Nightmare said, "I do, but it’s in the warehouse."

Maya said, "Deal, I trust you."

Lin Wu added, "30 bullets plus the Outpost Card."

Nightmare, who had nothing to do with childishness, readily said, "Deal. But I can’t promise when I’ll be able to give it to you. It’s just too far. You know, after switching to Hardcore Mode, the survival environment on the road has become very harsh." Driving a car is the most likely to provoke a horde of zombies. Previously, a zombie horde could be fought off or retreated from, but now, one could only flee. Zombies could run continuously, leading to frequent attacks on cars on urban roads. Driving fast could avoid being hit by zombies on the sides of the road, but it also made traffic accidents more likely.
