Chapter 758: Chapter 344 Underground City_2

"Whatever," Lin Wu replied.

"I wasn’t asking you."

Shana said, "Lin Meng will join the activity on the third day, the meeting is set for ’CCDD’ at Portal 334." Since it was unclear whether the portals were numbered with digits, letters, or Chinese character names, Shana and Lin Meng agreed to meet at nine in the morning on the third day at ’CCDD’. Lin Meng could also find their location, but getting Lin Meng to meet up with them was still somewhat difficult.

The meaning of the first ’C’: 3, the first location starting with C, the first Chinese character with a phonetic beginning with ’C’. The sequence remains the same.

If it’s a number, 3344. If it’s English letters, look for the C column, then find the third word starting with C. If it’s Chinese characters, pick the third character starting with the ’C’ phonetic.

If they still cannot meet, everyone from Shadow will wait at the entrance of the instance until noon on the third day for Lin Meng to find them by searching.

Team leader Maya confirmed the transport, and with a flash of white light, everyone arrived in the sky, plummeting towards the ground. They saw a Waste City still teeming with life, yet untouched by the virus.

Shana said, "This kind of looks like Rio de Janeiro."

"Is it famous?" Lin Wu asked.

Shana: "Not bad."

With that, the team landed on a flat ground, and all the beautiful sights disappeared, replaced by fog. The fog stood 10 meters away from the players, and as they walked forward, it dissipated to reveal the original structure.

"Spread out, stay alert."

Everyone fanned out from the center. Snow Egg was the first to speak, "Stop, it’s a rooftop." As he spoke, he walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down, only able to see ten meters away, but it was clear this was a building taller than ten meters.

Lin Wu reported, "I hear the low growls of zombies in this direction."

No sooner had he finished speaking than two zombies burst through the fog and ran towards Lin Wu. Lin Wu, holding a steak knife, took down one zombie with Wind Stinger while dodging the other. Nearby, Shana took the opportunity to deliver a devastating blow to the skull with Gale Combo. Where the zombie died, a card hovered in the air.

After touching the card, Shana reported, "We’ve got a piece of building material, 1/4 of the material pack."

Little Knife: "It wouldn’t be that each person can only carry one material pack, right?"

Shana: "That’s why we need to find the Hidden Portal."

Maya: "Let’s clear the fog along the perimeter, but don’t get too close to the edge."

Soon after, Lin Wu reported, "Found stairs going down." Peering below, the staircase was clearly visible. A ten-meter scouting distance was short outdoors, but it was enough indoors.

"Damn Dawn," Lin Wu cursed. A Frenzy was running up the stairs. With everyone only having a starter weapon, Dawn releasing a Frenzy seemed a bit too bold. However, faced with Shadow’s group, one Frenzy wasn’t a big deal. Lin Wu easily took it down and obtained a pair of team headsets. Just two, communication for the rest would still rely on shouting.

One headset went to the vanguard, Lin Wu, and the other to the commander, Maya.

Lin Wu scouted ahead, Little Knife provided support, Maya stayed in the middle, while Snow Egg and Shana covered the rear.

After a brief explanation, the team began descending the stairs—only to have Snow Egg, who was covering the back, say, "Stop."

"What’s wrong?"

Snow Egg replied, "I vaguely hear more zombies on the rooftop. Should we clear all the fog?"

Lin Wu said, "Shana, give a shout."

Before Shana could gather her rage to protest, Maya said, "She has a point."

So, Shana let out a dolphin-like squeal, not only summoning a Frenzy and three zombies from the rooftop fog but also attracting six more zombies from downstairs.

"Whose awful idea was this?" Lin Wu was the first to take down the fastest-running Frenzy.

Shana and Snow Egg blocked the staircase with blunt weapons while Little Knife and Maya quickly dealt with the rooftop zombies, then allowed entry to the six zombies. After a struggle, they finally managed the wave. They acquired a quarter of a medical pack, a food pack, a piece of scrap iron, a piece of Splintered Wood, and a pair of headsets that the Frenzy had dropped.

Maya instructed, "Avoid direct conflict as much as possible, and even in a fight, don’t be outnumbered. Lin Wu, move out and be careful of Mutant Zombies." Mutant Zombies were not to be feared unless they ambushed you. The fact that a Frenzy could appear on the first day, at the first time, and in the first location indicated that Dawn was no longer playing nice. However, the plentiful drops showed that Dawn still wanted to do some good.

Could it be that out of a million people, Dawn thought four thousand were too many?

This was an office building. Exterior information indicated the top floor was the 54th floor, and from the overall layout, it was clear this was the head office of a business conglomerate, divided into three major departments: the overseas department, the administrative department, and the domestic department.

Lin Wu picked up a conference report from a meeting room and read it, feeling a headache brewing. This conglomerate was split into multiple large companies, with small companies beneath the large ones. Some small companies were publicly traded, while others had their shares held in other people’s hands.

Lin Wu followed the path, taking out seven rooms and more than twenty zombies in the corridor: "If you consider the zombies as ordinary people, you would find they quite fit the situation of the staff here."

"And then?" Maya asked through the headset.

Lin Wu replied, "The desks are very clean, the documents are orderly stacked, some rooms even have air conditioning on, lights on, as if it’s a company made up of working zombies."

Shana asked, "Is Dawn implying that all office workers are just walking dead?"

Maya: "Don’t get sidetracked by him. I think this is a simulated scenario, only replacing the employees with zombies. There’s no other meaning."
