Chapter 802: Chapter 360 Blood Heart’s Blood_2

"How so?"

Maya said, "Before the Blood Mist expands, we should find a way to extract some blood from Blood Heart." In three months, the original Serum formula will expire, by which time the Blood Mist zone will have fully developed, and the danger level will spike. If we don’t take advantage of Blood Heart while it’s still young, when will we?

Lin Wu asked, "The road in front of our door hasn’t been cleared of snow, so we can’t drive, and the camera at the junction will attract drones."

Maya replied, "Then we’ll take down the drones."

"Okay!" Lin Wu stood up and said to Lin Meng, "You pack up."

"Got it."

Maya and Lin Wu got ready to leave. Maya said, "Lin Wu, over these three months, we’ve basically been unable to leave the house, and our activity area has been limited to within the base. This environment isn’t much better than a prison."

Lin Wu said, "There are still entertainment options, the main thing is whether everyone is interested in playing poker or mahjong. Only Little Knife, that fool, would play mahjong just for the sake of playing mahjong. Whether it’s mahjong or poker, we need stakes." We could also use a penalty system for the losers, but that’s only effective temporarily.

If we could gamble with Points, everyone would obviously be interested, but that might cause the losers to feel upset, leading to instability.

Maya said, "So think of something."

Lin Wu countered, "You said you once lived in outer space for months, how did you manage?"

"Strictly adhered to a schedule, exercised, ate, and rested at set times every day. Physical training plus a three-hour break, shooting training plus a three-hour break, mental training plus a three-hour break, washing up, eating, and restroom breaks all together took an hour, plus eight hours of sleep, that’s already 18 hours spent. The remaining six hours were for checking equipment and completing the day’s workflow. If there was still time leftover, I would write letters or keep a diary."

Lin Wu said, "It means finding things for yourself to do."

"Right."

Lin Wu said, "Then let’s find something to do for everyone."

Maya asked, "Like what?"

Lin Wu said, "Like going out to chop zombies, continuing to loot and demolish. Everyone will get their clothes dirty and feel uncomfortable with various fluids on them, so they’ll end up washing their winter clothes. During this time, we’ll need to increase the fuel input to ensure we won’t freeze to death. If the fuel is insufficient, we’ll just have to go out and chop firewood." In the main game, unlike the instance, we primarily engage in close combat, and no matter how careful we are, battling usually leaves some stains. It’s fine when there are clothes to change into, but we have only one set of winter clothes.

For now, food obtained through looting isn’t plentiful, and mostly consists of snacks. The main gains are building materials and miscellaneous items, but at the moment, the base doesn’t have much need for these materials.

After a moment of thought, Maya asked, "Is there anything else?"

Passing the junction, monitored, Little Fight destroyed the first drone, the two hurried through and left the drone’s search area, avoiding zombies as they continued towards Blood Heart.

"Any other suggestions?" Maya asked again.

Lin Wu, hoping to avoid the question, noticed Maya asking seriously and knew she had no better ideas, so she asked him.

Lin Wu questioned, "Are you overly worried?"

Maya said, "A bunch of people being idle together for three months might lead to romance, arguments, unexplained temper tantrums, depression, and other such situations."

Lin Wu said, "The only thing I can think of is helping Lin Meng, that silly girl, with her missions. However, with her missions gradually advancing in level, it’s possible that we might lose some people." After the update, a character’s death would mean a complete exit from Hardcore Mode.

Maya nodded, "That’s interesting, but Lin Meng’s missions aren’t exclusive instance missions; they could also be scenario missions."

Lin Wu said, "I believe Dawn wouldn’t issue missions that are impossible to complete."

"Okay!" Maya made a hushing gesture and peeked inside. It was a fitness swimming center. Half of the area was a gym. The other half was a swimming pool, with two changing room entrances outside the pool. Judging from the range of the Blood Mist, Blood Heart should be inside the pool.

The gym had too many zombies, and Maya gestured; Lin Wu led the way around the gym, carefully checking through the windows.

Rounding towards the river side, Lin Wu saw a standard swimming pool with over a dozen zombies unsteadily standing around it, and about a dozen more floating within it. The zombies, either dried up or bloated and inflated, all had the ability to float on their backs.

The pool was not small, and relatively speaking, the density of thirty zombies was low. However, there was one major problem — Blood Heart wasn’t on the shore but in the water.

At the bottom of the pool was a 4-square meter Blood Heart, turning the whole pool red. As Blood Heart pulsated, the waves pitched up and down.

Lin Wu opened a window without glass sideways, signaling Maya to go ahead. Maya pulled out a machete, leaned out, and killed a zombie more than a meter away from the window. After the zombie fell, four nearby zombies came to inspect. Lin Wu, observing carefully with a mirror, took the opportunity to emerge and backstab one of them with a dagger before continuing to stand against the wall.

Following the same method, they cleared a few more zombies and secured a small safe area. Lin Wu slipped inside, crouched in Stealth mode, pulled out the Silencer, and headshot an Exploding Carnage across the pool. After reloading, a three-shot burst took down a Frenzy. Maya also took out a light crossbow, picking off the zombies in the water.

The two, having played the assassination sequence very skillfully and coordinated for a long time, knew exactly what to do with just a look. They cleared the zombies inside the pool quite smoothly and easily.
