Chapter 558: Chapter 277: The Little Girl

"Everybody, get up and pee."

Around four in the morning, Lin Wu affectionately called out over the Shadow Channel, but no one answered.

Lin Wu, not one to give up easily, continued to shout, "Or how about heading to the west parking lot to check out some handsome guys?"

So, armed with broadswords, pistols, long sticks, and daggers, the group burst out of the dormitory. Leading the charge was naturally Stone, a professional in switching demeanors. Upon seeing Maya, his fierce face immediately softened with a smile, and upon the sight of a pile of supplies, he couldn’t stop singing Lin Wu’s praises for the interruption.

After quickly getting the rundown, Stone asked a pointed question, "Lin Wu, why didn’t you bring the supplies to the Doomsday Fortress?"

Lin Wu replied, "Because they want to sleep."

"Right, we don’t need to sleep, haha," Stone laughed. "How are you planning to get to Lower Right County?"

Maya answered very seriously, "We’ll walk along the railway track to North Town first, then cross the track... What’s wrong with you?"

Lin Wu sighed as if he had lost all will to live, "Stomachache."

Stone immediately encouraged him, "Horse Soul, prepare a table of breakfast for them and seven hearty lunch boxes, especially add two crabs for our Lin Wu."

Lin Wu said, "I don’t like crabs, they’re too much of a hassle."

Stone told Horse Soul, "Add meat."

Horse Soul responded, "No problem, just a moment."

Lin Wu asked, "If I don’t bring back bullets, are you planning to eat me?"

Stone laughed uproariously, "How could that be? I’m sure you’ll bring back something. Hehe!" Thinking of dying, Lin Wu? Asking such a stupid question.

While they were shooting the breeze, Maya and Shana stepped to the side to review the city’s defensive layout by the pickup truck. From Little White Rabbit to Nightmare, they had all earned points while defending, so Maya had discarded the idea of abandoning the Sawmill to save bullets. As the Combat Commander, she needed to discuss a strategic decision with Shana.

Stone couldn’t be left out of such a life-or-death decision. Faced with a multiple-choice question, the old slick-head replied, "I support any decision you make. I’ll take the blame, you just go do it with confidence."

Before breakfast was over, Shana had also tallied up the bullet reserves of the Sawmill and the Doomsday Fortress: about four hundred rounds for pistols, roughly seven hundred rounds for 5.56 and 7.62 caliber rifles, and approximately two hundred and fifty shotgun shells, plus there were a hundred and ten .50 caliber bullets.

After breakfast, Shana, Little Knife, Horse Soul, and Snow Egg headed out with Nightmare, Lin Wu, and Maya on Shadows’ second journey to Lower Right County. It had been half a year, and they were once again about to reopen the Silk Road. Only this time, instead of passing through the tunnel for trade, they were doing it for a heist.

Watching the impressive procession on foot, Lin Wu remembered the gift of guns from Blood Meng. He decided to leave two empty guns for his good sister as a gesture of reciprocity. You gave me a pistol, I leave you two, for not to return a favor is against the rules. Of course, for Lin Wu, the idea of looting Blood Meng and Nightmare didn’t seem inappropriate at all, given their multiple deadly exchanges in the past.

If Nightmare hadn’t sabotaged them last time, Lin Wu might have been wiped out by them. Since my attributes and skills can be a reason for you to kill me, I naturally have a justified reason to loot you.

...

The greatest weakness of the Heart of Blood Plague was its lack of hearing, and because of that, Shadow decided to clear the tunnel.

The process of killing the Titan of Blood Plague was uneventful; Lin Wu practically shoved the barrel of his gun against the Titan’s head. Lock Head fired, staggering the Titan with each shot, and before it could steady itself, Lin Wu advanced two steps and fired again, taking down the Titan with ease. As for the zombies attracted by the loud gunfire, they lacked the force of impact in such cramped terrain against the six-man pistol squad.

The Blood Heart still pulsated in the train carriage, oblivious to the fact that its minions had been slaughtered. After going through the train area, everyone switched to crossbows to conserve bullets, maintaining Stealth as they moved. They preferred to spend their bullets scoring points defending the city, rather than on killing wild creatures.

After killing the Blood Plague Titan, Lin Wu found nothing promising on its corpse but did receive a purple Loot Chest. This proved two points: first, you could still get a Loot Chest even if it wasn’t the first kill; second, the drop rate for Loot Chests was extremely, extremely low, perhaps only higher for creatures like Blood Ferocious Ma and the Blood Plague Titan.

The Loot Chest was handed over to Little Knife, whose eyes twinkled with stars. Upon receiving the chest, Little Knife decided to burn incense, bathe, pray, and fast before opening the chest.

Exiting the tunnel and walking on the road to North Town in Right County, the once-thriving activity was no more. In the old days, you could see players all over North Town in Right County, but now all that met the eye were lifeless, slightly run-down buildings. Judging by the zombie density, no one had cleared the area in a long time, and overall, the situation was worse than in North Town in Left County.

Nightmare led the group first to the town center of North Town, still deserted, and they left the town center while lamenting, reaching a vineyard at the town’s outskirts.

The estate was large, with a density of zombies equal to the town center. There were nine buildings in total including the main building, staff quarters, a winery, an open tasting hall, and others.

Nightmare summoned everyone to stay concealed outside the estate and said over the comms, "I only know that Blood Meng’s safe house is within this vineyard estate, but I don’t know the exact location."

Lin Wu said, "Sis, don’t joke. This vineyard is at least 10 hectares. How are we supposed to find a palm-sized code pad on 10 hectares of land?"
