Chapter 615: Chapter 297 Shopping_3

What a wuss, why overthink it? As a real man, fighting is the way to go.

Three minutes later, with the sound of the bartender’s gun signaling the end of the brawl, Lin Wu, with a bruised nose and swollen face, aching back, and sore waist, had earned himself 20 dollars. As someone with high attributes, he should have earned more, but he was ambushing others while they were ambushing him too; the small bar was crammed with dozens of burly men and three tough women, any of whom could throw a sucker punch at any moment.

After the fight, the bartender kicked out anyone who had touched his gun and announced, "The Blanca Bar will start another round in three minutes."

No more for me, that kind of money you can earn only if you’re alive to spend it. Although you won’t get seriously injured or die, the physical pain is real.

Afterward, Lin Wu ran into Fire Dance, and after staring at each other for a while, Lin Wu said, "Hey!"

"Hey!"

"Congratulations."

"For what?"

"Congratulations on your new sweetheart becoming an old flame."

"Why do you always have to be so foul-mouthed the moment you open your mouth? What did I ever see in you? And you, why do you seem more and more unruly?"

"It’s a long story." Lin Wu sighed, as if thinking about something, then added, "Right! The Blanca Bar has a money-making mission, and it’s about to start in less than 3 minutes. Hurry over."

Fire Dance nodded, "We’ll talk another time."

"Sure."

Foul-mouthed? Unruly? Reflecting for a few seconds, it seemed that it wasn’t entirely untrue. Lin Wu asked on the walkie-talkie, "Maya, isn’t their train blocking us up ahead?"

Maya replied, "You lodge a complaint inquiry."

After Lin Wu complained, he was informed, "Our train can pass through their train. I say it defies physics, it says..."

Everyone waited a few seconds for the conclusion, and when there was none, Hong Yi couldn’t help but ask, "What did it say?"

"I knew what it was going to say, so I said goodbye first." Lin Wu boasted, "In the instant before it was about to respond, I beat it to the punch. I faintly sensed its disappointment and embarrassment."

Maya said, "It wouldn’t be. Lin Wu, if you can’t find a mission, help by digging through the trash cans." Obviously nothing better to do.

"Okay." Said Lin Wu, and with no hesitation, he lifted the lid of the nearby trash can, and a pleasant fragrance wafted out, revealing a bouquet of roses within. Among the flowers was a card: "Dear, I’ll be waiting for you at Town No. 4. You can take line No. 2 to get there. Make sure it’s line No. 2, don’t take line No. 1, I heard there’s an outbreak in the town on that line."

Awesome! Route information hidden in a trash can. Even more awesome that I found it.

Shuihua said, "All 5 passengers have disembarked, each paying 10 dollars. There are 6 new passengers."

Hong Yi reported, "I’ve purchased some ammunition, rice, pork, beef, and a set of cookware, as well as some spices."

Maya said, "It doesn’t have to be too tasty, just edible is fine."

Lin Wu retorted, "Please ignore what that person just said. Maya, the No. 2 line heads to Town No. 4, while the No. 1 line goes to Zombie Town."

Two minutes later, Hong Yi reported, "Things are really cheap. I bought a heater and a few bundles of firewood, and spent two extra dollars to have the shop owner arrange for delivery to the train."

Qinglang asked, "The one-meter-tall kind of heater? From Prawn’s shop?"

Hong Yi said, "Yes, how did you know?"

Qinglang, frazzled, replied, "I happened to be scavenging near the shop when the owner hired me to deliver it, paying only 1 dollar."

Everyone fell silent, unsure of what to say.

After a while, Maya said, "Hong Yi, I’ll send you money. Spend as much as necessary. Food and coal are the top priority."

"I’m currently bargaining, it’s so cheap. 1000 kilograms of coal for just 50 dollars, and they’ll deliver it too."

"Do you have enough money?"

"I’ve got five dollars left, I’ll go buy some flour and vegetables."

It wasn’t until they arrived at Town No. 3 that everyone realized money was far more useful than they had thought, and indeed, there’s never enough when you need it.
