Chapter 867: Chapter 379 Twin Dreams

A sleepless night, but luckily Xiao Wu was in good health and didn’t fall ill. Seeing the two girls get up early, he wrapped himself in the bed for a while, but was soon woken up by Xiao Bian. He went out to check and saw Xiao Jing kneeling at the lookout tower, covering her face and crying. It turned out she had seen a classmate who had become a zombie.

After much effort to console Xiao Jing, Xiao Wu returned to the vehicle. Lin Wu was packing weapons, and upon seeing Xiao Wu, said, "Besides the weapons, I’ve only brought a dagger, a stick, and some chocolate energy bars last night. You’d better manage the supplies, we need to build a water collector to gather rainwater. We can also dig into the ground; there are plenty of insects underground that we can eat. Additionally, we can catch birds."

Xiao Wu asked, "If I drive, is there a chance to reach the shelter?"

Lin Wu nodded, "Yes." A kilometer from the main gate is Round City Road. With a bit of luck, the car might make it directly to the shelter. Xiao Wu had no choice; even if he now had the audacity to kill the two girls, Lin Wu would not deign to join forces with such people, and they would inevitably part ways.

Lin Wu said, "I suggest you find out what they can do and what supplies they’ve brought. Also, map out the surrounding area. If the resources in the parking area run out, we can scavenge outside using ladders. Moreover, we can move the camp by eliminating zombies. Honestly, the resources inside the parking area are quite abundant; just be extra careful when dealing with the zombies. Water collection is one of the most important things you need to do right now."

Xiao Wu gave a wry smile.

Lin Wu also smiled and patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder. If Xiao Wu now suggested abandoning the two girls and leaving with Lin Wu, Lin Wu wouldn’t agree. Saving people brings not only blessings but also responsibilities. It’s not to look down upon the two girls, but Lin Wu has already determined that the girls would definitely be a burden. The reason is simple; yesterday when the three classmates were attacked, the commotion was not small, yet they continued to wait outside, neither daring to leave nor enter, which already spoke volumes.

Having been immersed in the game for a year and a half, Lin Wu knew that no singular outstanding talent can save a team. The most basic requirement for a successful team member is to have a good psychological quality and an initiative. It’s fine to lack opinions usually, but when the leader is gone, one must come up with ideas and take action. To move might result in death, but to stay still will surely lead to death.

However, Lin Wu still dangled a big carrot in front of Xiao Wu, "If possible, in the future, I will locate you and teleport you to the quarantine zone."

Xiao Wu was quite open-minded, and laughed, "Maybe I’m already in the shelter."

"Heh, I hope so."

"I’ll cook breakfast. We’ve been skimping these past two days; let me show you my cooking skills."

Lin Wu didn’t turn down the offer, "I’ll be waiting outside." The packed firearms were still kept inside the RV, which to some extent, showed that Lin Wu still had trust in Xiao Wu.

...

The breakfast took quite some time to prepare; the result was tomato spaghetti and borscht. Xiao Wu was very ceremonious, laying a tablecloth he found just that morning on a folding table, before serving the food to everyone, ladies first, and then sitting down with a plate of spaghetti himself. The borscht was placed in the center.

After everyone was seated, Xiao Wu explained, "I haven’t tasted it. Salt and pepper are on the table." Since Xiao Bian had helped with the cooking, he felt embarrassed to taste the flavor using the only spoon.

Xiao Bian had a more cheerful personality. Even though Lin Wu wasn’t easy to talk to, she still initiated a conversation, "Lin Wu, you don’t seem to like talking much."

"No, actually I have a lot to say." Lin Wu watched the borscht quietly. Xiao Wu served himself some, and just as he was about to drink, Lin Wu reached out and took the bowl away, "How did you make the soup? What ingredients did you use?"

"Beetroot, potato, carrot, you saw them yesterday. I cut off all the rotten parts."

"No," Lin Wu said, "Where did the water come from?"

"Water?" Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Bian, "It’s the water they brought."

Xiao Bian hurriedly said, "It’s boiled water, boiled and then kept in a thermos. It was still hot."

Xiao Wu confirmed, "It was hot. Using hot water can save on electricity and fuel."

Lin Wu looked at his own spaghetti seriously for a moment, then stood up and said, "The spaghetti is clean, but the water is contaminated. Have you drunk this water?"

Xiao Bian was taken aback, "It can’t be contaminated."

Lin Wu took the thermos in front of Xiao Jing, opened it with one hand, and after a glance inside, assuredly said, "It’s contaminated." This was one of the player benefits given by the system; you can tell with the naked eye whether food and water are contaminated with the zombie virus, excluding other viruses.

Xiao Jing repeatedly said, "I didn’t drink it, I didn’t drink it."

All eyes turned to Xiao Bian, who was blushing slightly, "Why do you say the water is contaminated?"

As Lin Wu stood eating his spaghetti, he asked, "When did you drink the water?"

"No, my question first; why do you say the water is contaminated?" Xiao Bian’s emotions grew agitated, her volume rising.

Lin Wu held his bowl with one hand and drew a handgun with the other. Xiao Wu immediately intervened, "Wait, hear me out. I think Lin Wu has some experience, but that doesn’t mean the water is definitely contaminated." He looked at Lin Wu.

Lin Wu said helplessly, "Yeah, I can’t be sure." Xiao Wu’s intention was clear, even if the water was contaminated, it was better not to let Xiao Bian know.

Xiao Wu asked, "When did you drink the water last night?"

Xiao Bian answered, "Before bed, around one in the morning."

"If you’re fine after so long, you should be okay, but for safety, I’ll cook breakfast again."

Lin Wu stared at the table for a moment, "The spaghetti is fine." He then moved the bowl aside, went back to the RV to get his things, picked up his spaghetti, and walked away to eat.
