Chapter 687: Chapter 325: The Sky

They traveled one kilometer, leaving a trail of zombie corpses behind. Lin Meng couldn’t understand how a person could overcome this challenge alone, while Maya had already thought of a way to get through. Shadow had an armored truck. The truck would drive ahead, honking the horn, to draw all the zombies from the roadside, then proceed to run them over back and forth.

At intervals of five hundred meters, after clearing that distance, they immediately got out to repair the armored truck with a repair kit. This tactic took full advantage of the slow movement speed of the followers.

The second method involved using landmines or bombs, placing one every ten meters, using sound bait to draw the zombies and eliminate the living force.

The third method was to use incendiary grenades to burn the woods section by section, focusing on defending against attacks from the wetland direction.

The fourth method still involved using bait to draw the zombies onto the road and eliminate them with a large amount of ammunition.

This mission absolutely couldn’t involve rigidly following the NPC’s movements, or else no one could withstand the continuous zombie attacks from both sides.

...

This five-kilometer stretch was the most thrilling Death Road that Lin Ma had ever walked. This was thanks in large part to Little Fight’s scouting abilities, which greatly reduced the risk of being ambushed by a horde. By the four-kilometer mark, Lin Wu knew this endeavor would be at a loss, as his ammunition reserves were running low. His ammunition reserves consisted of his own plus those shared evenly with Lin Meng, so one could infer that after the five kilometers, Lin Meng and Maya wouldn’t have much ammunition left.

The points for the defense mission weren’t high unless Lin Meng gave all the ammunition she purchased with her points to herself and Maya. If she insisted on splitting evenly among the three of them, they were bound to lose out.

After the grueling five kilometers came to an end, Lin Wu tallied that he had 40 rounds of .22 bullets and 30 pistol rounds remaining. Maya had a little more, while the spendthrift Lin Meng had almost used up all her ammo.

Having completed the task, one would expect to be happy, yet Lin Meng put on a forlorn and pitiable look. If Lin Wu didn’t know how silly this girl was, he might have thought she was a green T. Maya learned with concern that Lin Meng’s reward for completing the defense mission was a one-time reset of the safe house. This reward was the best for Nightmare, but completely useless for Lin Meng. What she wanted was the most ordinary point bonus.

Maya took time to whisper with Lin Meng by the roadside while Lin Wu and Wai competed in chasing butterflies, happening upon an unlucky deer. By the time the three walked back to base, it was already five in the afternoon. Lin Wu roasted the deer meat in the kitchen, while Maya and Lin Meng went to the safe house.

Lin Wu looked down at Wai by his feet and said, "I’ll bet she won’t bring back a single bullet."

"You ask why?" Lin Wu snorted and said, "She sees her past self in her. She was probably a dummy nine times out of ten, but she never gave up. Come to think of it, under the circumstances where she had a choice, those who persevere in adversity are admirable. No, what other choices does Lin Meng have? She has to stay in Hardcore Mode. Wasting our time for two days whether we fight or not."

"Lin Wu calling."

"I’m here."

"Tonight we’ll fold the tents and stay in the safe house."

"Okay!"

At six in the afternoon, Lin Meng and Maya came out of the safe house, bringing two packs of food that included meat, vegetables, and seafood. Lin Meng was unusually nice to Maya, and her attitude towards Lin Wu also became more enthusiastic, but she still didn’t dare to look directly into Lin Wu’s eyes. With the help of the kitchen and plenty of ingredients, it didn’t take long to whip up four dishes.

Maya explained that the next morning Lin Meng would drive them to the collapsed area of Highway 88, and during this time, she didn’t mention anything about the bullets. After dinner, Lin Wu ordered the packing up of tents, and then they went to the safe house to watch movies. It had to be said, the entertainment life in the agent’s safe house was much richer than that of ordinary players.

Lin Meng and Maya gathered a lot of firewood, and in the convenience store, they boiled a large pot of hot water to wash their hair and bathe. Why did Maya look at Lin Meng so fondly? It was much as Lin Wu had guessed. Maya used to be ignorant, facing all kinds of difficulties in the guard army’s assessment, even deliberate challenges from her superiors. The greatest test was to live alone in an outer space border watchtower for eight months, where the supplies were sufficient, but the spirit was lacking.

Knowing the difficulty, Maya admired Lin Meng’s attitude. The most precious thing was that Lin Meng hadn’t changed her original personality, even after living alone for a year.

Profit or loss? Maya had her opinion. Being able to fully charge Little Fight was a huge help for the plan to return home. Aside from ammunition, Lin Ma hadn’t suffered any losses. Unlike many people’s mentality, many would use resources to strengthen themselves as much as possible, but in the absence of collective interests, Maya preferred to follow her heart, providing help to the brave and determined, even to a dummy like Lin Meng.

...

The collapsed section of Highway 88 was clearly set up by Dawn to prevent vehicles from passing, to avoid players lifting vehicles, the collapse was arranged very roughly. There was only a meter wide path left, with a river channel more than ten meters below. It was possible for people, horses, and motorcycles to cross, but not vehicles.

Then what about the car’s two-wheel stunt? No, because one side was vertical rock. Lin Ma got out of the car and led Double Ma from the back of the truck. Lin Meng waited at the entrance, hugging Maya goodbye. When it was Lin Wu’s turn, Lin Meng closed her eyes, turned her head sideways, and reached out for a symbolic embrace with Lin Wu.
