Chapter 788: Chapter 355 Convergence_2

"Just do what you’re told, why so many questions?"

Lin Wu glared angrily, but Shana answered first, "It’s not necessary."

After packing the pistol, Lin Meng shouldered her backpack, "Give me a hand."

Lin Wu’s face was full of confusion as Lin Meng tearfully said, "I’m 1000% overloaded, I can’t stand up." She was a blank slate with no attribute bonuses, with a basic carrying capacity of only 20 kilograms.

Lin Wu asked, "Why do you need to stand up?"

Lin Meng replied, "To use the Teleportation Scroll."

Lin Wu questioned, "Can’t you use it lying down?"

Lin Meng had an epiphany, realizing Demon Lin had a point, she knelt on the ground, took a card out of the tactical vest pocket with her right hand, and after using it, a purple portal appeared two meters away.

Lin Wu sighed, reached to pull Lin Meng up by the back of her collar, but he couldn’t move her; this was a bit awkward. Irritated, Lin Wu said, "Lie down."

Lin Meng lay down and stretched out her hand, her fingertips still 50 centimeters away from the portal. Lin Wu and Shana each pulled one of Lin Meng’s arms, dragging her to the portal. Lin Meng touched the portal and disappeared on the spot.

Shana wondered, "Once she’s back, how will she get to the place to exchange her points?"

Lin Wu suggested, "She can unload some of the weapons first."

"Oh?" Shana asked, "What if she doesn’t think of that?"

Lin Wu paused, "I hadn’t considered that she might not think of it."

After clearing level 334 for a whole day, familiar with the route, Maya asked upon returning from the mist, "Hasn’t she come back yet?"

"No," came the reply.

Maya said, "Then we’ll wait a bit more."

Wait and wait, and finally, after ten minutes, Lin Meng returned. Little Knife looked down at Lin Meng’s hands, "How did you hurt all your fingers?"

Lin Meng candidly admitted, "My teleport destination was the entrance to the safe house. I had to crawl to the communications station inside the safe house to make the trade, a whole 15 meters away."

Maya was puzzled, "15 meters? What’s the issue?"

Lin Wu leaned close to Maya’s ear and said, "She crawled there." Covering her face, she couldn’t bear to look.

Only then did Little Knife understand, "It was too heavy, right? Sorry, it was our oversight."

Lin Wu and the other two looked at Little Knife, who was confused, "What’s the matter?"

Maya explained, "I knew about the overload, and I knew she could teleport directly back to the safe house."

"So?" Lin Meng asked.

Maya questioned, "Didn’t you consider sending the items in multiple trips?" After looking at Lin Meng, she looked at Little Knife.

Lin Meng realized and smiled, "I didn’t think of that." Not embarrassed or shy to admit she was no cleverer than others, not having thought of it was just that.

Maya issued orders, "Get ready. Now that we’re here, let’s take down the level 51 Boss. Lin Wu, set up the Beast Trap."

With a clear path ahead, under Lin Wu’s lead, the five of them headed to the level 52 golden room. Although the Blood Heart Boss was not in the original room, it was still in a room by the door of the golden room.

After closing the door, they each took out an AK rifle and approached Blood Heart to within five meters. On Maya’s command, the five rifles opened fire simultaneously. Blood Heart’s health bar plummeted like it was connected to a pumping machine. The second wave of zombies hadn’t even appeared, and Blood Heart exploded. The first wave of zombies, already shredded by the crazy 7.62 bullets.

An Auto Turret, a rifle, and a blueprint for the terminal communications server design.

With the blueprint for the terminal communications server, a new production option can be unlocked in the crafting area. Then, a terminal server room can be built at the base. Its function is to enable barrier-free communication among base members. No matter if they’re in the same team or not, whether they’re in the same dungeon or not, no matter the distance.

Lin Meng repeatedly tried to report back but was stopped by Maya, "We’ll talk about it later."

And when exactly was "later"? "Later" was when they began draining the pond at the Hidden Portal. While the water was being drained outside, everyone gathered in the office for a meeting, and during this meeting, Lin Wu and Little Knife were assigned to be on standby.

Lin Meng reported on the situation with the Fortress agents; they could directly use points to buy and exchange weapons, no different from outside the instance. The only two differences were the addition of the Teleportation Scroll and the Query Scroll, only usable by agents. The Teleportation Scroll was just like the one they saw earlier, for teleporting directly to one’s own safe house. The Query Scroll, when a person’s name is input, reveals the instance number where they are located.

Additionally, agents have an exclusive communication channel, accessible with just a satellite phone, which can be purchased at the safe house communications station.

Lin Meng looked at Lin Wu earnestly, "Right at the start of the event, someone anonymously offered a bounty of ten thousand points for your head, Lin Wu."

A snap of the fingers!

Lin Meng rubbed her forehead, hurriedly explaining, "That’s how the person wrote it, that’s how the system message displayed it."

Lin Wu rolled her eyes and beckoned Wai to jump into her arms, then passed him over, "Here, take him to settle the account."

"I don’t want it," Lin Meng replied, holding Wai and pondering for a second, "As I understand it, what they want isn’t really Wai’s life."

Maya cut off the pointless chatter and moved on to the main topic, "Did anyone respond to that message in the channel? I mean, is there any discussion about it?"

"Yes," Lin Meng said. "A special agent asked if anyone wanted to team up, and another said not to court death by getting involved, clearly aiming to trap us. He made snide comments, saying that there was a bounty last time too. Well, what happened? Some people lied, claiming Lin Wu was dead, had no skills, no attributes. And then?"

"I’m not going. Last time, I was caught six times and went bankrupt," Lin Meng said, eyebrows curved with a mischievous smile, "I’m a born liar."

Lin Wu responded, "Regarding that statement, I’m not sure if I should give you a thumbs-up."
