Chapter 822: Chapter 367 Office Building_3

Lin Meng saw a wooden bench the moment she entered the lobby, "This can burn for at least half a day, I’m sorry, I’m sorry." She remembered to keep quiet only after speaking.

"It’s okay," Little Knife comforted her.

Maya looked at Little Knife sideways, and Little Knife realized she shouldn’t have answered, so she nodded to show she understood her mistake. Maya pointed to the chairs inside the reception desk, the scattered papers, and then to the elevator hall and the stairwell corridor. Little Knife and Lin Meng responded to Maya with puzzled looks.

Maya whispered as quietly as possible, "Take the stuff over there to start a fire to prevent a Night Demon ambush." Right after she spoke, two zombies suddenly appeared from the left corridor, and Maya immediately shot them. Fortunately, the sound of the car engine earlier had drawn away a group of zombies, so no other zombies came to check due to the sound of the zombies falling.

The elevator and stairwell corridor Maya mentioned were only 8 square meters in size, with an elevator on each side and the stairs at the end. The engine sound had already pulled the zombies away from there. Little Knife, carrying a computer chair, and Lin Meng, holding a stack of papers, reached the stairwell without noticing any zombies, so they lit the papers on fire.

The chair started burning; due to its material, it didn’t smell good, but the light it provided, reflected by the wall tiles, brightened the entire front hall.

Maya, keeping watch in the front hall, said, "Light up anything that can burn to ensure sufficient lighting."

Because of the mission, Lin Meng often went out on tasks with Maya, but Lin Wu was always with them. With Lin Wu around, Lin Meng felt Maya’s orders were clear. But without Lin Wu, Lin Meng sometimes didn’t understand, like whether Maya meant to ensure the hall or the elevator area was lit.

Lin Meng switched to Lin Wu’s private channel, glanced at Maya, and quietly asked, "What do you mean?"

Lin Wu spoke through the earpiece, "Progress as you light fires, placing flammable materials on the floor and igniting them. Advance step by step this way, clearing the first floor of zombies. Pay attention to safety, avoid starting a fire, and keep the fire away from wooden items. Consider igniting fires only under such conditions."

Due to environmental reasons, Maya hadn’t been very clear, leaving many details to everyone’s own judgment.

Maya said, "Little Knife, sweep the left corridor, and Lin Meng, you light the fires." She went off to the right corridor, using a flashlight and crossbow to eliminate any visible zombies.

Lin Meng used a dagger to cut down the curtains for kindling, placing one side’s rattan chairs on the fire, lighting up part of the left corridor. Maya turned back to the left corridor, holding a pistol in her left hand and a machete in her right, "Little Knife, cover me, Lin Meng, keep watch." She then entered the corridor alone.

After a while, Maya called Little Knife over. There was an office on the left side of the corridor, its glass door was gone, and inside was an open office space where many zombies gathered. The duo, back against the wall, used their crossbows to eliminate zombies freely. If not for extra resources, disregarding the danger, killing zombies like this wouldn’t even recoup the cost of the arrows.

There were two companies in the left corridor; it took Lin Meng, Little Knife, and Maya two hours to clear it.

Bad news: The crossbow arrows were all used up.

The number of zombies was too high; they could only reduce the density of zombies to a certain level using ranged shooting before they could lure the zombies.

The good news was, based on the current respawn mechanism, Shadow had established a reliable safe zone in the office building.
