Chapter 837: Chapter 374: Underground Base (Part 3)

Lin Wu walked onto the residential road and split up with Lin Meng to progress slowly, methodically killing one zombie after another. Turning left to the second floor of a building, the road extended straight into the second-floor corridor. The corridor had a door designed for gentlemen, and Lin Wu reached into the iron gate to pull the bolt, pushed open the iron door, and entered the house.

The second floor had five rooms, three of which had open doors, and they were empty. Lin Wu knocked on the closed door: "Fortress Agent, please open the door."

That door didn’t open, but the one opposite suddenly did, and a man in a white lab coat with glasses stepped out. The hallway was narrow, less than a meter separated the two, and Lin Wu quickly turned his gun barrel: "Don’t move, it’s not your turn yet."

The man with glasses said, "This room is empty." Having said this, he stepped forward, Lin Wu stepped back, and the man with glasses pushed open the door. Lin Wu looked inside and indeed, there was no one there.

Lin Wu said, "Come with us."

The man with glasses nodded: "Thank you." He followed Lin Wu out onto the road.

Lin Wu said, "Stop."

The man with glasses turned back, puzzled, and Lin Wu said, "Lin Meng, search him."

"Is that okay?" This is a handsome guy, how could I embarrass myself by laying hands on him?

Lin Wu said, "If you don’t search him, I will just have to kill him."

"Searching, searching." Lin Meng put down his gun and approached to search the man.

The man with glasses resisted, avoiding Lin Meng’s groping hands: "What are you doing? I am Dr. Mikero."

Lin Wu raised his gun: "Either die or cooperate."

The man with glasses, resigned, said: "Barbaric, please hurry up."

Lin Meng moved forward to search him, and Lin Wu kicked her aside, calling that a search? She was gentler than when I used to dress my ex-girlfriend. Lin Wu asked Lin Meng to stay alert while he did the search, then pulled a pistol from the man’s left calf.

The man with glasses hurriedly explained: "This is a self-defense pistol. When the zombies invaded the underground base, we all took up arms."

Lin Wu said, "Keep making things up." Would an ordinary person have a holster on their left calf? Would they hide a pistol there? As if afraid of drawing the gun too fast and not being able to play the zombie, right?

Lin Meng interjected: "Someone that handsome can’t be a villain."

Lin Wu asked, "Am I handsome?"

"Handsome."

Lin Wu: "So why am I the Devil?"

Lin Meng, shocked: "How did you know?"

"Hmph." Lin Wu looked at the man with glasses: "I’m not a Fortress Agent, I’m a survivor from the contaminated zone. Tell the truth, and you can leave. Lie and you die."

The man with glasses, emotional, said: "I’m really not a bad person, this is my assigned gun. I’ve been a soldier, I’ve used a pistol, many times."

Lin Wu shot the man with glasses: "I don’t believe you."

Lin Meng, mouth agape, looked at Lin Wu: "Why?" Wasn’t that too hasty?

Lin Wu said, "Do you remember the General assassination mission?"

"Remember."

Lin Wu said, "You killed countless NPCs, did I ever ask you why?"

"You told me to kill them."

Lin Wu: "And what about during the car chase?"

"That, uh, that..."

Lin Wu said, "He had a doubt, knowing that outside were all zombies, why didn’t he carry the gun in his hand?"

Lin Meng explained: "He’s just an ordinary scientist."

Lin Wu: "He explained that he had used a gun many times and might have even been on some secret missions, hence the habit of hiding the gun on his calf. So, is he an old hand with guns or a rookie?" Having the pistol on your calf has a big advantage: a simple tightening of the shoelace can take someone’s life. Moreover, many non-professional searches won’t reach near the heel. Even professional ones at times won’t, as seen when people only get searched up to the knee at airport security.

Lin Meng saw sense in Lin Wu’s words and admired him: "Lin Wu, how can you think of so much?"

Lin Wu said, "If there’s a bad egg inside, as long as he can’t prove he’s a good egg, he’s bad, and he even dares to conceal a gun? Better to kill wrongly than to let go."

Lin Meng, suddenly understanding: "You decided he was a bad egg, then tried to prove he was bad, and when you couldn’t, you killed him. You might as well have killed him straight away."

Lin Wu, admiring Lin Meng: "Makes sense, whoever I suspect should die. Let’s go, to the next house."

"No, no, I was wrong, we still need to search." How did such a person become top sales? Completely unreasonable.

Lin Wu: "Playing a game and still want to talk sense? Whoever I don’t like becomes my target."

Once because I killed a chicken in a village, the entire village came after me, did they talk sense? Did they give me time and options to talk sense? This is the classic in-game story of killing a chicken and then slaughtering the whole village.

Lin Meng said, "Every NPC is Points, you know, even if it’s an insurgent, as long as you maim and drag them away, there are still Points." Saving NPCs indirectly.

This statement had an effect, and Lin Wu looked annoyed at Lin Meng: "Why didn’t you say so earlier? You wait until after he’s dead to tell me."

Lin Meng: "My fault?"

"No, my fault, but that’s just my attitude."

Lin Meng laughed uncontrollably: "Lin Wu, you’re shameless."

"Stop laughing, next house." Lin Wu paused, "Wait, that’s not right; the saboteur was on the second floor, we haven’t searched the first floor yet."

Re-entering the small building on the left and discovering three-bound and gagged NPCs on the first floor, Lin Wu looked at Lin Meng: "I’m waiting for praise."

Lin Meng argued back: "Maybe there’s an accomplice of the saboteur inside... No, no, it’s unlikely, we need to be calm, Points, Lin Wu." Her own words nearly brought half-death to the three NPCs. Why half-dead? Theoretically, Lin Wu wouldn’t kill them all; otherwise, it would prove that Lin Wu’s decision to return to the building to rescue NPCs was wrong.
