Chapter 803: Chapter 360 Blood Heart’s Blood_3

Lin Wu glanced at the men’s and women’s changing rooms, then walked away and reported, "There are many zombies, don’t make too much noise." The number of zombies in the two changing rooms was even greater than the number of zombies in the swimming pool. Lin Wu saw the cabinets filling up the two rooms and couldn’t help but feel an itch in his hands.

"Drain," Maya pointed out, next to Blood Heart, at a square cover, "I don’t know if there’s a valve."

Lin Wu said, "Even though I don’t understand, if there’s a valve, the person who turns it will get stuck by the suction and freeze to death alive."

"Not drown?"

"You’d freeze to death before drowning."

"The water isn’t frozen, which indicates the water temperature isn’t very low," after saying this, Maya crouched down and touched the water, "It’s extremely cold, it must be circulating water." Her face felt a bit painful.

Many swimming pools are equipped with circulation systems, continuously draining water. After rudimentary purification and treatment, the water is returned to the pool through the inlet. This is because pools generally only have a two to three months usage season, and the cost of changing the water completely is too high, so this method, along with chemicals such as bleach for disinfection, is used to maintain clean water.

Maya said, "There should be a dedicated equipment room. If I’m not wrong, we need to open the drain cover first, then start the drainage equipment."

Blood Heart caused the normally calm pool water to be unsettled. Lin Wu watched for a while before he could see clearly, "It seems to have screws." If it was just about lifting the cover, he could bear it. In fact, it required unscrewing four screws, opening the cover, and turning the plug, which would take at least a minute or two.

Starting a fire would be a good method, but with shallow snow cover and being in a town, it was hard to find much combustible material.

Maya looked at the crowbar on Lin Wu’s backpack, "With a crowbar, it can be done within 30 seconds."

Lin Wu searched his backpack, "I also have a dry towel over here."

Maya nodded, "That’s enough, let’s find the equipment room."

The two retraced their steps and after circling around, found the equipment room. As Maya had said, it was necessary to open the drain plug first. Of course, they could start the machine first, but once the plug was opened, the person would be firmly sucked to the bottom of the water.

Upon returning inside the swimming hall, Maya began to take off her clothes. Lin Wu said, "Rock, paper, scissors."

Maya replied, "I can do it."

"That’s not how it works, either of us can complete the task, there’s no choice of advantage or disadvantage. I’m afraid of the cold, are you not afraid of the cold?" Lin Wu extended his hand, "Fair and square."

After considering for a moment, Maya nodded and extended her hand, "Rock, paper, scissors!"

"I actually lost," Lin Wu held his head and squatted down.

Just go ahead and act.

Lin Wu stood up to get his body moving, set down his backpack, and began taking off his clothes. Removing the hat was bearable, and taking off the shoes was okay, but as soon as he took off the down jacket, he was instantly enveloped by a piercing cold. There was no time for hesitation; Lin Wu took the crowbar, clenched his teeth, and jumped into the water.

The initial plunge into the water was bone-chilling, but soon it became more tolerable. Lin Wu ignored his bodily reactions, quickly sank to the bottom, and didn’t care that Blood Heart was right beside him, went straight for the crowbar. In the water, the crowbar wasn’t very effective, so Lin Wu held onto it and thrashed up and down, swiftly warping and lifting one corner of the cover. Lin Wu resurfaced for air, a gust of wind hit him before he could freeze to death and dove back into the water, found the round disk, twisted it, and not long after, removed the disk and quickly swam towards the shore.

Maya reached out and grabbed Lin Wu. Lin Wu climbed out, shivering, and his foot slipped, his left knee hit the ground at the edge of the pool, and he fell back into the water. Lin Wu’s mind was very clear as he let go of Maya’s hand to avoid pulling her into the water with him. He came up again and made it back to shore successfully. After standing, Lin Wu felt an immense pain. He grabbed Maya’s slender forearm, knelt on one knee, and opened his mouth wide, but dared not make a sound.

Seeing this, Maya realized Lin Wu’s knee was injured, immediately had him sit down, and passed him the towel. Lin Wu pointed to the backpack. The pain temporarily overcame the cold, and after eating a painkiller, the cold returned unexpectedly.

Unable to help, all Maya could do was watch Lin Wu work by himself. She handed him the hat after he dried his hair and the down jacket after he dried his upper body. Fortunately, the underwear was high-tech and didn’t need changing; it wouldn’t get dirty or wet.

Lin Wu carefully dried his legs, lying on the ground and twisting his body to slip on his pants.

When the pants were on, the Cold Resistance Value of the down jacket immediately came into effect. Lin Wu lay on the ground motionless, as if he had just gone through a test of life and death, feeling the beauty of the world at that moment, even the daylight lamp on the ceiling seemed incredibly lovely.
