Chapter 858: Chapter 376: NPC Brothers

"Are you f*cking poisoned?" Lin Wu glared at the male police officer, whose name was Xiao Wu, a man who had been demoted from special agent to detective, and who was off duty today just to have breakfast.

Xiao Wu’s hands were handcuffed to the head of the bed, and he said, "You don’t seem like a bad person, just turn yourself in."

"All this blood, and you say I’m not a bad person?" Lin Wu pulled open the curtain to look outside, then pointed a gun at Xiao Wu: "Why haven’t they arrived yet?"

Xiao Wu hurriedly said, "Any minute now, you just heard her say they’d be here soon."

"Don’t think she’s bringing the police. I’m telling you, the police are busy today, tomorrow, and forever." Lin Wu continued checking the map on his phone. Suddenly, an explosion sounded in the distance, and flames appeared at the location of Round City Road, about two kilometers away.

That’s it, can’t use Round City Road. Lin Wu checked nearby and asked, "Is there any place nearby with ample food, preferably a high-rise? Somewhere hard to find, with few people."

"I don’t know."

Lin Wu, infuriated, raised his gun: "You had breakfast here and you don’t know?"

"I know, I know, let me think." Xiao Wu asked, "What exactly do you need?"

Lin Wu said, "Assume there’s about to be a zombie virus outbreak in the city, where would you hide?"

Xiao Wu, sure Lin Wu was crazy yet cunning, didn’t just blow him off, but seriously thought about it and then said, "I’d go to the vehicle administration parking lot."

"Is it near here?"

Xiao Wu replied, "Yes, about a 20-minute walk. The parking lot is huge, surrounded by barbed wire, and contains many impounded vehicles, some with food inside them. Find a container truck, move the food inside and then wait to die, haha."

"Are you trying to be funny? I’m usually funny too." Lin Wu took off his clothes, wiped his body with a bedsheet, and put on a black coat from his backpack, then said, "I’m off, good luck."

"Not waiting for my ex-wife?"

"It seems she’s already dead."

Just then, there came a knock at the door, and a woman’s voice shouted, "Xiao Wu, it’s me."

Xiao Wu urgently said, "You better run."

Lin Wu had already opened the door, dragging in a beautiful girl and closing the door: "Where’s the thing I asked for?"

The girl was Xiao Wu’s ex-wife, named Xiao Mei, who took out a radio from her bag and gave it to Lin Wu. In the recent battle, Lin Wu’s radio had been damaged by a stray bullet.

Lin Wu was already prepared for the portal to disappear; in fact, he’d been ready since the first day he was captured by the police. He did not immediately kill Xiao Wu but coerced him into the room, needing Xiao Wu’s clothes, shoes, handcuffs, gun, and ID. Even in an apocalypse, a police officer is more trustworthy than a criminal to ordinary people.

Then Lin Wu discovered the radio was broken.

Xiao Wu had no idea of the chaos outside and planned to let Xiao Mei bring his brothers to surround the place. Xiao Mei repeatedly tried contacting Xiao Wu’s brothers; some didn’t answer their phones, and those who did told her to hide. Having no other choice, she bought a radio to bring by herself.

"Did he tell you to hide quickly?" Xiao Wu asked, "What does that mean?"

"He said there are a lot of monsters appearing in the city, it’s going to be chaotic for a while, and told me to find a safe place to hide for a few days."

"Heh," Lin Wu said. "Speak up, you’re all doomed."

Xiao Wu: "Brother, as we agreed."

Lin Wu said, "Do you think I’m stupid? You let your ex-wife in front of me contact your brother to bring a radio over. I know they can’t come, so I didn’t stop you. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. Goodbye."

Xiao Wu: "Wait. I can take you to the parking lot, Xiao Mei works there, she has the backdoor keys." After hearing Xiao Mei’s words, Xiao Wu wasn’t sure if Lin Wu’s statement was true or false, but following him still offered a chance to catch Lin Wu, and if things really went south in the city, he could blend in with Lin Wu.

Lin Wu readily agreed, "Alright," and threw the handcuff keys to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Mei asked, "Should I drive?"

Lin Wu replied, "No driving, Round City Road is compromised, we can only retreat to the city center." Following the explosion at Round City Road, Lin Wu understood how the system operated. Dawn didn’t intend for zombies to spread from the center outwards but rather started by cutting off roads, accumulating from the peripheries to the center.

A player and two NPCs momentarily formed a team, and when the three stepped outside, the situation seemed not too bad, none of the apocalyptic scenes were apparent. The only ones visible were onlookers a few kilometers away, observing the smoke.

Xiao Wu immediately reconsidered, glanced at Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei shook her head, Xiao Wu nodded. Hence, Xiao Mei slowed down and, passing a tree, suddenly ran across the street, blending into the crowd of onlookers.

Seeing Xiao Mei safe, Xiao Wu prepared to ambush Lin Wu. However, Lin Wu was already alert, watching the reflection in the glass of a store on the side, he dodged Xiao Wu’s sudden rush and then raised his gun, Xiao Wu shook his head: "It’s over."

A scream interrupted Lin Wu, as they turned back, they saw four zombies rushing into the street from Round City Road, with Xiao Mei running towards Round City Road knowing there was a police station to the right about 200 meters away.

Xiao Wu yelled in panic, "No." He watched helplessly as a monster pounced on Xiao Mei, its huge mouth clamped around her neck, gushing blood.

Lin Wu turned away, took out his cell phone, listened to the navigation walking map, and ran towards the parking lot. After running 300 meters, Xiao Wu caught up from behind: "Brother, brother."
