Chapter 609: Chapter 295: The Love of Luo and Zhu_3

Lin Wu used a dagger to pry open the locked cabinet, finally making some discoveries, and pocketed the seven knives he found inside.

After finishing looting the first floor, Lin Wu arrived at the second floor. The NPC’s performance was spot-on, shifting from wary to excited. Lin Wu asked questions and he answered them all, reciting a background story like a well-learned script. It took Lin Wu some effort to get to the point, "Do you know the station master of the train station?"

The boy pointed at the girl opposite him, "That’s the station master’s house, and she’s his daughter."

Damn it! Could you not have been the station master’s son?

Lin Wu said, "It’s too dangerous here, come with me."

The boy replied, "No, I need to save Juliet."

Lin Wu nodded, "Okay, Romeo, let’s go save Juliet." Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-tiered stupa.

The two went downstairs, the boy crouching and following closely behind Lin Wu, moving one in front of the other to find cover behind a horseless carriage. At that moment, they were only six meters away from Juliet’s front door. Lin Wu turned to ask the boy, "How do we get in?"

The boy took out a key.

Lin Wu was impressed. Nicely done! Indeed, this guy was like Romeo, and the charm he radiated as a middle-aged uncle, how could a 13-year-old Juliet resist him? Of course, this Juliet must be of age, since the game would not include minors.

Lin Wu said, "Check if it is that door."

The boy and Lin Wu swapped places, the boy peering at the door while Lin Wu kicked him out into the open. This noise attracted the attention of the zombies lingering at the door; they all pounced on him. With no time to stand up, the boy desperately scrambled on the ground trying to escape; the zombies had already grabbed his lower leg, and it was only a matter of time before he was devoured.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Wu skirted around the carriage and dashed straight for the main door. Using the key to open it, he entered the house and closed the door behind him. As for the screams outside, they stood no chance of awakening his conscience.

As was his custom, Lin Wu did not immediately go upstairs but took a tour around the main floor of the station master’s house. He took a frying pan, a box of matches, two iron basins, and a saber hanging on the wall. After a quick scan seeing there was nothing else worth taking, he finally went upstairs.

Juliet was also a good actress, portraying a fragile woman deeply immersed in the pain of losing her lover before Lin Wu. She also answered Lin Wu’s questions; she had the key on her person. If Lin Wu could get her on the train, she would give him the key.

Lin Wu suggested, "Love is sacred, you might want to consider dying for it." Or should I help you do so, to preserve the sanctity of love. Despite these thoughts, Lin Wu did not act immediately; he was worried about not being able to find the key on her.

Juliet asked, "Can we go now?"

Looking at the Blood Mist, Lin Wu saw there was plenty of time, and inquired, "Do you know where the train car card is, or the coal, food, and other supplies? As you know, we need a lot of supplies to escape by train. Money is good too." Give me a bit more, I need an excuse not to kill you.

Juliet said, "The supplies are in the shops, the weapon shop, the food store, the coal store."

Lin Wu said, "But there are many zombies in front of the shops."

Juliet guided Lin Wu to the window; the three shops were all across the street. It wasn’t too clear from below, but from a high vantage point, it was obvious that although the zombies constantly patrolled the shopfronts, there was a visible gap. The window of opportunity lasted roughly ten seconds.

Lin Wu enquired, "Do you have the keys to the shops?"

Juliet opened a drawer, revealing three lock picks. Juliet, blushing, said, "Romeo used these to come see me at night. Do you know how to use them?"
