Chapter 695: Chapter 328 Landfill_2

Lin Wu said, "They must be convinced by a strong leader, and strong leaders cannot make wrong decisions."

"Exactly," Maya replied. "Strong leaders making the wrong decision to attack us ultimately led to the downfall of Angel. However, if you put yourself in their shoes, you will realize that a group of people struggling to survive would not pass up the chance to prey on the two big fat sheep we represent. Even just getting an assault rifle from looting corpses would be a huge victory for them."

Maya continued, "The Cloud Dream tribe doesn’t worry about food or clothing but lacks spiritual fulfillment. They’re not interested in the resources we have and didn’t plan on a direct confrontation with us. Sky Base has electricity, their base’s capabilities are definitely not ordinary, and their material conditions are quite good. Even on the brink of death, they still expressed goodwill toward us."

Lin Wu asked, "The poor grow cunning, while the rich grow a conscience?"

"No, that’s not what I mean. I’m talking about the environment, not the people," Maya said. "People are all the same; it’s just their environment that causes them to make different choices when facing various situations."

Lin Wu said, "I always feel you think too much."

"Oh? Like what?"

Lin Wu said, "I have a feeling that you’re worried about Shadow."

Maya didn’t deny it and replied, "Nightmare sent me a message during the active period, saying that the Shadow Train hasn’t reached Town No. 10 within four days. With your knowledge of Shadow, do you think that’s possible? Since there’s no issue with Shadow’s strength, the problem must be internal."

Maya said, "Stone has strong control, but if there’s still an internal problem under these circumstances, it’s most likely that the overall living standard of Shadow has dropped. A good cook can’t cook without rice, and Stone can’t solve the problems caused by the shortage of supplies."

Lin Wu said, "Before, it was always you who dealt with this problem." Maya assigned work according to the situation of the base, checking for deficiencies in the base’s supplies to maintain the base’s smooth operation as much as possible.

"Yes, Shana also deals with problems. But she is more emotional in her approach, and she might unconsciously make allocations that others find unfair based on her own preferences," Maya said. "This is what I am most worried about."

Lin Wu said, "Maya, have you ever thought that they didn’t reach Town No. 10 because they lack strength?"

"Hmm?"

Lin Wu said, "After we left, there weren’t many capable fighters left in the base." In the event, every train started from the same starting line.

Maya was stunned, "Should I consider the possibility that they were wiped out?"

Heartless and carefree, Lin Wu lived an unburdened life. He almost never wasted time pondering long-term problems, otherwise, he wouldn’t have broken up with Fire Dance. He only said ’almost’ because he did take rules, contracts, and responsibilities seriously when facing them. As for all the other possibilities, they were not within his consideration.

Lin Wu concluded, "Much ado about nothing."

Maya counter-asked, "So what do you think about when you’re on the road?"

Lin Wu answered, "What’s for lunch? What’s for dinner? What did I eat yesterday? What should I eat tomorrow?"

Maya facepalmed, "Forget I asked."

When the base was destroyed, all system buildings and items disappeared, leaving only domestic garbage. When the two reached the edge of the test field, they discovered that the zombie density in the university town just outside the iron fence was enough to give one goosebumps, not to mention the three Blood Mist circles inside the university town.

They returned to Rainforest Protection Road and, after traveling 5 kilometers, dismounted and left the road to lead their horses through the rainforest again.

In the following days, they didn’t encounter any other players. With stop-and-go progress, they finally bypassed Fantasy City and reached its west side, where they smelled the enduring odor from the refinery. The highway was less than five hundred meters from the refinery.

Maya stood at the edge of the mountain and mapped out a route, choosing to take a dangerous path of 300 meters. The road was built high up, with another road below. They had to take the road to the west of the refinery and then use the ramp to reach the highway.

After Little Fight’s scouting, there were no zombies on the highway, but the road below was packed with them. This meant they had to camp nearby and use the dumb method of clearing the zombies from the road by passing through the bridge Sentry Card. That wasn’t the problem; the problem was whether this highway was Highway No. 99.

Little Fight had tried hard but still couldn’t make out the characters on the ramp sign. What’s more, Little Fight brought another piece of bad news: there was another highway in the southwest of Fantasy City.

The sea was to the south and mountains to the north; Lin Ma had traveled from east to north to west, making a half-circle turn. If they wanted to reach the southwest highway now, they had to pass through the industrial area to get to the coastal area. There was no detour possible here, with the sea on one side and steep ridges on the other. Which one was Highway No. 99?

Lin Wu, shortsighted as ever, left the worry to Maya. After descending the mountain, he set up a tent in a safe area by the mountain’s edge. The 300-meter road they needed to pass was five hundred meters away, with a construction debris dump in between. Originally a dry riverbed, this place was now filled into a mound one kilometer long and a hundred meters wide specifically for construction waste.

There were also zombies in the construction waste dump, but their numbers were sparse—it wasn’t exactly a favorable place.

Maya stood on high ground, anxiously looking towards the coastal highway that she couldn’t see. Lin Wu asked, "Maya, if the coastal highway is Highway No. 99, what plans and ideas do you have?"

Maya answered, "No matter the plan, we must abandon Sandstorm and Phantom. One plan is to engage in extreme sports, climbing the mountain ranges to get around to the coastal highway."
