Chapter 548: Chapter 272: Breaking Through Walls

Maya nodded in agreement with Lin Wu’s idea and said, "The second condition, do they have rescue robots? As we can see, these drones and combat robots are all under a single system control. Having lost the combat robot, the brain will likely figure out a way to rescue it."

Lin Wu: "Snipe."

Maya simulated in her mind for a moment: "We need a clear boundary line, otherwise, where the robots can go, the drones can reach too. The biggest danger is that drones are fast, and robots are slow. If we stay near the edge, the drones can’t come over, but the bullets from the robots can reach us. You’ll recall that there are no covers around the runway."

Lin Wu: "Dig trenches."

Maya with difficulty: "With this weather, using the most primitive tools to dig a trench in reinforced concrete is no easy feat."

"Who said anything about today. I mean, when the weather is nice and we’re bored, we can go take a look."

Maya: "Oh."

Lin Wu: "Shall we go? To the sewer to find the library."

Maya asked, "Don’t you need a midday nap?"

Lin Wu stood up: "No, I don’t."

Maya lay down: "But I do."

So this was what it was like to want to hit someone! Lin Wu lay down with a huff, head to head, summoning Wai to use as a pillow and pointedly having it turn its rear toward Maya. Regrettably, Wai didn’t have a command to fart and was even patted on its plumpest part by Maya, leaving Lin Wu feeling severely short-changed.

...

After entrusting the fish collection and Wai to Cotton, Lin Wu and Maya walked to the residential area. It took ten minutes to open the passage and crawl into the sewer. In that short amount of time, they could practically wring water out of their sweat-soaked clothes. Just sitting down to rehydrate made Lin Wu’s head spin, and it took a while before he felt better. The coolness of the foul-smelling sewer instantly made Lin Wu feel like he was in heaven.

"I hate hardcore."

Maya, seemingly accustomed to the scorching sun, leisurely rehydrated, her expression utterly relaxed: "You’re the core unit, it shouldn’t be that bad, right?" Both sensitive and integral, both are primary attributes.

Lin Wu took a deep breath: "You’re standing in the shade shooting arrows, chopping at zombies by the wall the whole time. As an assassin, I have to circle around a lot to kill a single zombie."

Maya: "When you put it that way, it seems like you have the harder job."

"Of course I do." Lin Wu stood up, "Let’s go, let’s go."

Today’s purpose in the sewer was to visit the library and to map the sewer. Therefore, they had to investigate every manhole. Pushing aside the manhole cover, zombies fell in, they chopped at zombies, sent out drones for positioning, mapped, and put the manhole covers back. Gradually, the map began to fill with marks.

Lin Wu: "Not to say, for such a small area, there are quite a few sewer entrances."

Maya said, "Because of the high population density. A villa uses water just for one family. A high-rise building occupying the same area, everyone uses the water together, naturally the effect is different. The game’s sewer is already considerate of players; real sewers are not so friendly. Sewers have nets to filter solids, to prevent non-degradable things from entering the sewage treatment. When there are too many solids, water floods the tunnels, at which point they need to be cleared."

Maya: "Apart from everyday trash, you can find all sorts of things in the sewer, from gold and silver jewelry to leftover food, and even human tissue. The stench of decaying rats always permeates the sewer."

Lin Wu: "How do you know so much?"

Maya: "Assisting search and rescue missions or helping to find missing children. The sewer is like the dark side of the world; it has never brought me any pleasant memories. You know, the tasks that usually require our assistance, they don’t often end too well."

Lin Wu pointed above: "This should be the bookstore."

Maya stopped and looked at the map: "How do you know?"

Lin Wu: "Idiot, I have a drone."

Forgetting this fact, she was successfully avenged!

Lin Wu said with a smug smile, "Walk forward 4 meters to a crossroads, then a right turn at two meters, there’s a manhole cover on the road."

Maya looked ahead: "There’s no right turn, we’ll have to go around."

Although they knew the location, they wandered around for half an hour and still could not reach the manhole. What to do? Lin Wu connected with Su Shi, "Su, how much explosive do you have there?"

Without hurry, Su Shi asked, "For public or private use?"

Lin Wu: "What do you mean?"

"If it’s for public use, you’ll have to convince Maya first, have her talk to Stone. For private use, you can come get it directly."

"Should I call you bureaucratic, or commend you for your loyalty?"

Su Shi said, "I am a person of professional integrity and loyalty. We have four kilograms here."

"Let me check." Lin Wu saw Maya gesturing, ended the call, and asked, "What is it?"

Maya punched the wall, saying, "Basement, behind it is the bookstore’s basement."

Lin Wu: "I’ll go get the explosives."

Maya: "No, I’m not familiar with the power of explosives in this era, nor the building structure, but I think it’s unlikely to just blast a hole through. We’ll go back and get a pickaxe and hammer. I estimate the thickness is only about 15 centimeters."

Lin Wu: "Only 15 centimeters? It should be actually 15 centimeters."

Maya had learned to skip over Lin Wu’s nonsense and continued, "The bookstore’s location is quite good. If we can break through to the basement, it means we also broke through to the basement of the fire station outpost. It’s like we’ve already completed the preparation for scavenging the residential area."
