Chapter 704: Chapter 332: Leimeng Town

Maya: "I found some coffee, instant coffee."

"Where?"

"Downstairs."

Lin Wu was startled: "The plane has a downstairs?"

Maya replied: "Downstairs is usually where the checked luggage goes, and some planes have a small kitchen under the service desk. Oh..."

"What is it?"

After a while, Maya said: "There’s a zombie in the fridge." She was still shaken.

Lin Wu consoled: "I understand, not everyone can be as brave as me."

Maya had no words to respond, she indeed had been scared.

"There’s a black canvas suitcase." Lin Wu pointed without piercing the suitcase, grabbed the handle and pulled the canvas case from the luggage compartment. After thinking for three seconds, he felt that a zombie likely couldn’t fit into this suitcase, only then did he unzip it. Lin Wu reported: "A girl’s suitcase, swimsuits, skirts, sunglasses, no, they are sunshades, with red frames. They would suit you quite well."

"Can you use them?"

"It’s not impossible for me to do so."

"Then they’ll suit you, too."

"What I meant was... no, you’re right," Lin Wu cautiously asked, "Do you still want the swimsuit and skirt?"

"Rip them into pieces."

"Oh." What a waste of standardized clothing.

Did this suitcase hold any significance? It was filled with trivial things. Lin Wu then thought, wasn’t the suitcase itself meaningful? He could tie the suitcase to Sandstorm. Why Sandstorm and not Phantom? As a licking horse, Sandstorm would never question this.

Some minutes later, Maya said: "I’ve found a set of professional skiing equipment in the cargo hold."

Lin Wu said: "In the aft compartment, I found a stash of rubbish. Ah, there’s a satellite phone and two batteries. The stuff is good, it’s just that I’m not sure whom we could call."

Lin Wu crossed over the broken part to reach the front cabin, which was noticeably more spacious than the latter half’s economy class, and the zombies were just as unpleasant as in economy, hiding in every corner to scare people.

After two hours of searching, nothing valuable was found, except for a zombie in pilot’s uniform encountered upon disembarking. Such a special zombie couldn’t be overlooked, so after being eliminated, a chipped ID was found. It had information such as Anderson, 55 years old, ID valid date, among other details.

The only gains were the ski suit and ladies’ sunshades. After adjusting the horses’ loads, Maya put on the goggles and took the lead skiing at the front of the group. Lin Wu rode slowly. To Lin Wu, speed wasn’t important, what mattered was to avoid walking. Maya, with ropes tied around her waist, stopped every hundred meters to dig through the snow and confirm the road surface before moving on.

Perhaps Dawn had a twinge of conscience because the two made it without much trouble, covering two hundred kilometers in a week, leaving behind the snow field area and getting back on the road.

They had traveled 1200 kilometers in 20 days, 550 kilometers away from Leimeng Town, and 800 kilometers away from Left County.

Another good news soon followed. Shortly after leaving the snowfield, they discovered a small village not far from the roadside. After a search, they learned they had entered the territory of Future City. Although Highway 77 did not reach Future City, it connected to an area under Future City’s jurisdiction.

According to the information and bearings, they were at the southernmost end of Future City. The Left County they were talking about was at the northernmost end of Future City.

Maya remarked with a sense of wonder: "Who would have thought Future City bordered the plateau." Her words revealed the joy in her heart.

Lin Wu asked, "Should we go through the county roads across Future City, or continue on Highway 77?"

"Continue, our target is Leimeng Town." As long as they reached Leimeng Town, getting back to Left County would not be a problem.

Maya established a base in a farmer’s home to rest for a day, during which the two debated over whether to build tent facilities as a base; they eventually decided not to add any tent structures for the time being.

After a journey of 2500 kilometers over 65 days, Lin Ma finally set foot on the land of Future City.

...

The natural environment of Future City was very welcoming, with no deserts or snowfields, just the beauty of late autumn. Roadside dried and yellow leaves drifted slowly downward, and with the rhythmic clip-clop of horses’ hooves, the conversation between Lin Ma increased notably.

At noon, five days later, Lin Ma camped seven kilometers from Leimeng Town because there was a sentry post ahead. The ten or so zombies in the sentry post, wearing uniforms with the Fortress emblem, did not pose much of a problem.

The Sentry Card was situated between two cliffs, blocking the only way through. What troubled Lin Ma were the four auto turrets. The turrets were conspicuous, located 3 and 7 meters high on the left and right sides of the sentry post, emitting red light that swept the 50-meter area continuously from side to side.

At one kilometer from the sentry post, there was barbed wire and warning signs, declaring the area a military zone and that any intruder would be shot. It explained to players that the turrets were heat-sensitive auto turrets. As the road was blocked, no medium or large wild animals could enter the one-kilometer enclosure, so the possibility of running out of bullets was non-existent.

Scout Maya drew the outline of the Sentry Card on paper: "There are also two solar panels above; I don’t think it’s possible for them to run out of energy."

Lin Wu said: "Little Fight could blow them up, but it needs a day to charge." The rocket launcher had to be replenished every 24 hours.

Maya nodded, looking at the enclosed kilometer of road from outside the valley: "What worries me is Leimeng Town. If the sentry post is equipped with auto turrets, what dangers could the town hold?"
