Chapter 763: Chapter 346 Leopard Machine_2

Just as Little Knife was about to make a move, Lin Wu reached out to stop him, connected the personal computer to the slot machine, and began decoding. Seeing this, both Little Knife and Lin Wu were pleasantly surprised. After waiting for ten seconds, the screen displayed: Bullet prize chance is 10%, handgun prize chance is 1%, rifle prize chance is 0.1%.

"I asked you to alter it, not tell me the odds!" Lin Wu clicked on ’hack,’ and the system prompted: Lack of corresponding software, unable to decode.

With her lips, Little Knife muttered, "Piece of crap." She rubbed her hands and continued.

Soon the two of them had blown through 150,000, only acquiring 35 bullets of various types. On the sixteenth try, Lin Wu took over, numbly pulling the lever. But it seemed as if the heavens favored the dispirited youth, with two identical patterns appearing consecutively, and then as the third icon appeared, both of them nearly shouted out loud.

A card materialized in front of them. Lin Wu reached out to take it; it was a G36C carbine that used 5.56 bullets. Equipped with a scope and a silencer, and a 30-round full magazine. The stock could be folded for carrying. The total length was 72 centimeters, and with a professional silencer attached, its silencing value was up to 90, making gunshots audible only within five meters. Even without the silencer, it had a silencing value of 60, equivalent to a 20-meter range.

Little Knife snatched the last 40,000 without giving Lin Wu a chance to play. But after three tries and getting nothing, she began to rituals to borrow luck. Placing her palms around Lin Wu’s left hand, she mumbled some words and then yanked the lever.

The first icon was a bullet, and Little Knife sighed, conceding she couldn’t outdo Lin Wu. The second one was also a bullet, and she instantly widened her eyes. Lin Wu became nervous too, but unfortunately, the last icon was a handgun. However, they still got 75 bullets.

Little Knife handed the 5.56 bullets to Lin Wu, who then took the G36 and jumped in front of the camera, laughing silently in exhilaration.

"Holy shit!" Shana, who was always cultured, couldn’t help but let out a curse. Old Shadow had that gun, and she knew it was a G36. With Lin Wu’s gun skill combined with the sickening Quick Gunner ability, they were now swaggering through, where before they were just scraping by.

Upon hearing Shana’s exclamation, Maya and Snow Egg gathered around to see clearly. Maya asked, "Slot machine?"

Lin Wu raised a finger and wiggled it, a self-satisfied ’aha!’

Shana reminded, "Be careful on the left.’

Lin Wu looked over and saw two Frenzy passing by seven meters away. He coughed, and the two Frenzy immediately ran towards them. Two ’biubiu’ sounds later, the Frenzy that got close were promptly taken down by Lock Head. The handgun could be used this way, but the ones they currently had were too loud. Besides, using the ability sporadically was fine, but using it continuously could cause fainting.

With the gun in hand, Lin Wu’s actions became significantly more audacious. Shana then advised them to engage less in Stealth and move into more direct attacks. Gradually, they went from cautiously avoiding Frenzy to actively chasing them. In total, they spent 20 minutes clearing all the Frenzy from the 53rd-floor corridor. The loot was the same old, without any surprises. However, now, everyone in the Shadow Squad had two handguns each and at least 20 rounds of ammunition at their disposal.

Next was sector work. Lin Wu and Shana teamed up, and the other three formed another team, going through and ransacking each office. The offices mainly contained ordinary zombies, with the occasional Exploding Carnage and Frenzy. The biggest issue wasn’t the Frenzy, but the Exploding Carnage. A moment’s negligence and the resulting gas from its explosion could fill an entire office.

Due to the existence of slot machines, cash also became a target for scavenging. In addition to cash, the slot machines also offered exchanges for gold, jewelry, and other valuables, so precious metals were also a significant target. To Lin Wu’s frustration, most of the safes were mechanical, and lacking a specialized lock picking skill, he was unable to open them.

Pairing Shana and Lin Wu was an important reason to search for clues.

Maya knew Lin Wu too well. If you let him search for clues, he would, but if you asked him to read and analyze them, it was more challenging. If the requirements were high, Lin Wu would likely deliberately ignore some clues. When they reached a desperate situation, he would ’suddenly’ remember where there might be some clues.

The analysis work was either passed on to computers or to Shana.

After a few rooms, Lin Wu found crucial information.

The warning in the first office specifically mentioned to avoid electronic devices such as telephones, cell phones, etc., as much as possible. Since the network was still up, electronic devices could emit sound at any moment.

Lin Wu, who could now stride confidently on this floor, didn’t care about such warnings. He wiped out the zombies in the office and casually picked up an unclaimed mobile phone from the desk to look at. Unfortunately, most phones required a password or facial recognition. That is until he checked the seventh phone. When the screen lit up, it still needed unlocking, but a message scrolled across the display: "I’m on the 52nd floor, all my colleagues have turned into zombies, I’m so scared."

"There’s an NPC on the 52nd floor," Lin Wu said. "If I dial a number and call back, I bet it would be thrilling. Hehe."

"Take a look." Shana took the phone and read the message, "Maya says that Waste City might be a reproduction of a real-life scenario. Why did so many people turn into zombies at the same time? And some are still at work?"

Lin Wu: "There’s no denying that Maya is smart, beautiful, has temperament, and strong leadership abilities."

Shana waited a moment and asked, "But?"

Lin Wu: "I’m not saying."

Shana chuckled, "But her idea is superfluous, it’s just a game scenario. However, when we entered the dungeon today, the full view really looked like Rio de Janeiro, especially that statue on top of the mountain."

Lin Wu curiously asked, "What’s so special about Rio de Janeiro?"

Shana pondered, "That statue."

Shana said, "If Maya is right, it means someone deliberately polluted the air, causing an entire large city’s population to mutate in a short period of time. This hypothesis isn’t unreasonable. Up to now, I thought the appearance of the zombie virus was accidental or an error, but its widespread transmission was definitely someone’s deliberate doing."

Lin Wu called out, "I need to switch out a team member here."

Although she wasn’t pressing the mic, Shana still hit Lin Wu playfully and turned her head towards Wai, who had jumped onto the table, and said, "Your owner is a baddie."

Lin Wu looked at Wai, "Hey, you do some work too, go open the safe for me."

Wai lay on the table, indicating he couldn’t do it.

...

At ten in the morning, the Shadow Squad cleared out the 53rd floor, used lights to torture-kill the Night Demon BOSS, and gained another Auto Turret. At that moment, each person had a complete supplies pack. Besides, there were also loads of cash and jewelry, and after some discussion, they planned to head to the slot machines for a break.

After exchanging the jewelry, the squad’s total cash was 400,000 dollars, enough for 40 plays. Five people, eight turns each, Lin Wu suggested he could go first, but that was rejected. In the end, they agreed to take turns, one play per person.

The results were not very surprising, either some bullets or nothing at all, and even the bullets were stingy, just an icon. Once they used up all their tokens, everyone was ready to head to the 52nd floor when Lin Wu took the jewelry off Wai’s neck and put it in the machine, earning one more chance.

Lin Wu said to Wai, "Go on, roll it. If you don’t get anything good, you’re treating everyone to dog meat tonight."

Wai leaped up, hung its front limbs on the lever, and pulled it down. Both the dog and the team members watched the screen intently. When the first image showed a Forest Wolf, everyone sighed in disappointment. When the second image also showed a Forest Wolf, the place immediately erupted with excitement. Everyone, including the dog, couldn’t take their eyes off the bouncing third icon and couldn’t help shouting, "Forest Wolf, Forest Wolf, Forest Wolf. Wow!"

It really was a Forest Wolf.

A purple card floated in front of the slot machine. Wai jumped up to reach for it, but Lin Wu pushed him aside with a slap and grabbed the Forest Wolf card. The team members voiced their discontent about Lin Wu’s betrayal after having crossed the river and scolded his actions. Lin Wu slapped the Forest Wolf onto Wai, who immediately lay flat on the ground. Fifteen kilograms were no joke for Wai.

The standard version of the Forest Wolf, 5-round magazines, four rounds could take down a Titan. Maya, grinning from ear to ear, took the G36 and tossed the Forest Wolf to Lin Wu. After all, only Lin Wu’s Lock Head skill could make use of the .50 bullets without waste. Lin Wu, now holding the Forest Wolf, instantly felt it was a bad deal—it wasn’t just heavy but also impractical for daily use. The G36, on the other hand, was different—happy, shoot one round; not happy, shoot two rounds.

But who could complain when she was the Deputy Commander?
