Chapter 780: Chapter 352 Arms Dealer_3

The underground parking garage is divided into eight sections, labeled A to H, arranged in a clockwise direction, with Sector A being due north and Sector E due south. Their current location was in Sector D, at the 22-minute mark on the dial. Looking at the parking spaces on the ground, they were neatly organized, marked D78, D79. Each section had a vertical elevator shaft.

Shana walked a small circle and said, "I estimate there are 800 parking spaces; judging by the density in Sector D, the entire parking lot likely has about 300-350 cars."

Maya picked up the key and pressed it several times, but heard no response. Snow Egg took the key, placed it against her head, and pressed it, still no response was heard. Seeing everyone looking at her puzzled, Snow Egg explained, "It’s about using your head as an antenna, which can enhance the signal by about 15%."

Maya, half-convinced, continued studying the map, "Where would the arms dealer park his car?"

Shana replied, "Since the key has been tampered with, that implies a certain distrust of the trading party. If I were him, to mislead the buyer and keep an ace up my sleeve, I wouldn’t park the car right beneath the hotel."

Maya said, "BCD are all located below the hotel. Start from Sector A, search counterclockwise."

"Alright."

Maya pointed in the direction of Sector A, "Lin Wu."

Lin Wu, the scout, cleared the fog; a 10-meter range was quite sufficient indoors, but seemed awkward in the wide-open hall. After walking more than ten meters, Lin Wu leaned against a police car and decoded its computer, finding not only an MP5 submachine gun and several bullets inside but also that the car could be started.

Start the car?

Lin Wu looked at Maya, who hesitated. Of course, driving was more efficient, but it would also attract monsters efficiently. The parking lot was like a labyrinth with many dead ends. Moreover, if they chose to drive, they would need to navigate every lane; on foot, personnel could move between parking spaces, achieving wider signal coverage.

Maya said, "It’s a hell-level dungeon, proceed on foot the entire way."

Lin Wu nodded and continued scouting ahead. After detecting zombies, he stopped and called for Little Knife. Little Knife stood by Lin Wu’s side, and with bow and arrow, took targeted shots—hitting her mark eight out of ten times, clearing out about ten zombies at the edge of Sector A. Snow Egg pressed the key again, but still no reaction; Maya indicated to proceed.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from under a car and grabbed Maya’s right foot. Maya did not hesitate; she leapt up, her left foot stomping on the car body to break free, and tossed herself backward. Lin Wu, with no choice, stepped to the left and used his stomach to cushion Maya’s head, preventing her from hitting a pillar. Shana and Snow Egg crouched down and used blunt weapons to jab the zombie to death.

A slight carelessness could lead to such an incident; Maya said, "Turn on the flashlights, scan the undersides of cars. Also pay attention to the inside of the cars, there could very well be zombies there." Perhaps someone became a zombie after getting into a car, then couldn’t open the door until they saw a human and got excited, accidentally hitting the button to open the door, and then the door opened.

These events were logically consistent, and so it was very possible they could happen—after all, it’s ’Dawn’, those who know, understand. But ’Dawn’ is always unpredictable, and the team did not encounter any zombies inside the cars; instead, they came across an NPC hiding inside a car, a male.

Could he be considered a dungeon NPC? The team hadn’t had time to ponder this when the man, thrilled to see humans, rolled down the window and shouted, "I’m here!"

Shit! Everyone immediately retreated.

The man saw everyone retreating and actually started honking the horn, raising his voice, "I’m here, help me!" By then, zombies had arrived, and his foolish action went a step further as he drove the car out of the parking space, heading straight for the Shadow Squad.

Maya decisively said, "Take him out." To be chased down by shouting like this, it would be a miracle to survive.

The G36 and carbine rifles fired in short bursts, and the car slowly came to a stop. The Shadow Squad then retreated another 20 meters, with zombies surrounding them and starting to smash the car, making a lot of noise. Maya signaled to detour, "Conserve the ammo."
