Chapter 576: Chapter 283 Night Moon_3

"Wait for me," Maya said as she walked toward the direction of the steamship.

Lin Wu hesitated for a while, but in the end, he didn’t put away the drone. When the group noticed Maya, the woman shouted to the two men, and all three went to meet her. The steamship was about 100 meters away from the roadside, and they walked up onto the highway to communicate with Maya. From the details, none of them seemed intent on reaching for their weapons; they chatted briefly and then shook hands.

Maya sat down with them by the lake at their makeshift campfire. One of the men went to get a tea tray from their base, another went to fetch water from the lake, while the woman sat close to Maya, warmly engaging her. Soon, the water was boiling, the tea was served, and Maya handed her Sniper Crossbow to the woman who examined it for a while before returning it to Maya.

Then one man went back to the base, and a few minutes later he came down with 20 Crossbow Arrows bundled together with clear tape, which he then handed to Maya. The three of them walked Maya back to the roadside, the woman clearly reluctant to part, watching Maya for a while before returning to the campfire to sit down. They conversed now and then while the woman drank tea and the men chopped firewood.

After observing for another ten minutes, Lin Wu felt he had a good understanding of the situation. He waited for quite a while until Maya, having looped halfway around, returned to the billboard where Lin Wu was waiting. "We can," she said upon seeing him.

Lin Wu asked, "What did you tell them?"

Maya replied, "I told them the truth, that I was just passing through. They invited me to join, but I said I was looking for my husband. They gave me a bundle of heavy crossbow bolts, two bottles of water, and a big fish meat pancake," she said as she placed the food on a Stone in front of her.

Lin Wu said, "Eat."

After drinking some water and eating a pancake, Maya said, "It’s not poisoned. Do you have any other questions?"

"No," Lin Wu responded.

"Let’s go," Maya said.

On the way, Maya told Lin Wu that their main purpose for posting the advertisement wasn’t to recruit people for their base, but to recruit allies. Night Moon Base only occupied half of the steamship, and the despicable Dawn occasionally spawned zombies on the other half. With only three people, they couldn’t form an alliance even with an outpost. The nearest player settlement was 40 kilometers away, so they could only hope that revived players who saw the advertisement would join them or establish an outpost themselves.

"Their determination is very strong," Maya said.

Lin Wu questioned, "Why do you say that? Is it important?"

Maya explained, "They’ve made up their minds to persist through Hardcore Mode, no matter how many times they die. Originally, their base was a barbecue bar, but two members couldn’t stand Hardcore Mode and left it at the end of the first month. So they moved to the steamship."

"Among the three, two of the men are a married couple, in a romantic relationship. They have no leader; they discuss and decide together, and they have a positive and optimistic attitude towards life. The woman used to be a maritime policewoman on Blue Star and is a fisherman by trade, spirited and generous. But she seemed very happy to see me."

Lin Wu asked, "You prefer it when people are sad upon meeting you?" "What hobbies?"

Maya shot Lin Wu a glance, "It seems she likes to chat."

Oh! Poor child, a girl who likes chatting with girls and ends up meeting one that dislikes chatting.

"Girls who like to chat lack an audience, not another girl who likes to chat," Lin Wu said.

Maya sighed, "Do you admit that you take pleasure in other people’s misfortunes?"

"I admit it," Lin Wu replied.

As they chatted, they approached the steamship, where the three came forward to meet them—this time with a hint of uncertainty. Lin Wu spoke first, resolving their doubts, "Hello, my wife mentioned you have a place to stay here?"

The trio realized, and said, "Yes, right this way."

Lin Wu was an honest man; he skipped over the part about lying and explained that he came from a distant hellish place, where he and his wife had both perished at the hands of zombies. He hadn’t expected to be revived in a place of scenic beauty with clear waters and lush mountains, where the men were handsome, and the women were beautiful—a heaven on earth.

When in a foreign land, start with flattery.
