Chapter 809: Chapter 362: Interception_3

Because it belonged to the rare collection of firearms, the gun ultimately went to Lin Meng. Little Knife did not feel dissatisfied and was happy to help Lin Meng.

The last box was brought back by Stone for Lin Meng; it was the box that nearly flattened Lin Meng. This box had two layers. The top layer contained two disassembled common M4 carbine rifles, equipped with double scopes. The bottom held 120 rounds of 5.56 ammunition. These items weren’t heavy; it was mainly the box that was heavy.

Lin Xiaoren guessed that since this box of supplies was the most valuable, Dawn had intentionally added weight, hoping the players would be discouraged.

Exchanging 42 bullets and a can of fuel for ten cans of fuel, a pile of electronic components, three assault rifles, and 120 rounds of ammunition was considered a big score.

As the mission ended, the next attack mission was refreshed. The keywords were: World War II, multiplayer mission, Stealth, assassination, duo. Players could bring any items into the mission, but couldn’t take any non-card items out of it.

Upon hearing it was a multiplayer mission, Maya hesitated. Letting Lin Wu and Lin Meng venture into the mission had too many uncertainties. It was possible for Lin Meng to kill Lin Wu, or for Lin Wu to kill Lin Meng. Since items could be taken into the mission, and to be on the safe side, Maya decided to wait for a 24-hour refresh of rockets before attempting it.

...

Today’s chefs were Stone and Maya, serving rice porridge with pickles for breakfast. Lunch was Maya’s specialty mixed hotpot, with meat, seafood, glass noodles, radish, potatoes, and over ten kinds of food. The large pot was kept continuously heated over a campfire, and everyone helped themselves with bowls and chopsticks. The taste was not particularly good, but it wasn’t bad either; everyone was able to pick their favorite foods, and overall it was satisfactory.

This put pressure on the next day’s chefs, Shana and Little Knife. Little Knife suggested paying tribute to Maya by also making a mixed pot. But Shana, as always competitive, thought a barbecue would be a better choice. The kitchen had a griddle where they could cook the food, keep it warm, and season it on the griddle— a straightforward process.

They ate slowly and chatted much, with Maya typically saying little.

"What are we doing this afternoon?" Little Knife asked.

Stone looked at Maya, "Go to the safe house and burn a barrel of fuel?" Although the temperature was low, it was just the beginning of ice, so ice fishing was not an option.

Maya didn’t object, "Okay."

However, not everyone liked the basement safe house. Wearing warm clothes and sitting on the rooftop enjoying the view was nice, as was knocking ice by the river. But these activities weren’t suitable for group events and were better for solo endeavors.

Su Shi was making ice skates and ice drills. Stone took a hot bath and came out complaining that the system was stubborn—if they could just get hot water out, the base could be warm like spring. And was it Hun Dan’s rule to only allow half an hour of hot water for showers each day?

Lin Wu wore sunglasses, lying in the snow on the rooftop, playing with Wai. Not far away was Maya, sitting and daydreaming, not showing any sign of what she was thinking, but with a phrase etched on her forehead, "Don’t talk to me; I want to be alone for a while."

Shana was singing in the safe house, Snow Egg was playing pool alone, and Little Knife sat at the bar, listening to music. Soon, Stone and Su Shi joined in, playing pool and darts.

Lin Meng went to the airport. As one of the Fortress’s top ten bases, the airport offered a shooting range exclusively for Fortress Agents. For 300 Points, one could play for three hours at will. In this morning’s battle, Lin Meng had again felt the gap. She spoke with Maya in private, and Maya told her it was the same principle as driving a car—the more you drive, the more familiar you become. All sharpshooters were brought up with bullets and time.
