Chapter 868: Chapter 379 Twin Dreams_2

Shana’s voice came from the radio at Lin Wu’s waist, not too far away: "Hey, hey, no major changes, keep waiting. New situation, the water source has been contaminated."

The atmosphere turned rather eerie; not only did Xiao Wu distance himself from Xiao Bian, even Xiao Jing subconsciously shifted her chair.

Xiao Bian tried to defend himself: "He’s talking nonsense, besides the water was boiled, all viruses would have died. I only drank a small sip, if it was really contaminated, most people in the city would be dead by now."

Xiao Wu said: "Twin Dreams channel had already alerted everyone in advance, a zombie corpse was found in the reservoir. I suggest that Xiao Bian, you shouldn’t panic, let’s wait and see."

Xiao Bain touched his own forehead, looked at Xiao Jing, and said somewhat anxiously: "I don’t have a fever, feel for yourself."

Xiao Jing subconsciously reached out, and Xiao Bian grabbed her hand. Xiao Wu, quick to react, pushed Xiao Bian’s head away but got his finger bitten in the process. Angered, he kicked Xiao Bian to the ground.

Xiao Bian stood up, grinning: "I’ve had a fever since this morning, I didn’t dare say it, I was afraid you’d suspect me of being infected. Bloody fools, my mistake was not dragging you down with me."

Xiao Wu, with blood dripping from his left hand, raised his gun with his right, asking in agony: "Weren’t you classmates?"

"It’s her, it’s her pretentiousness, encouraging three classmates to go to the parking lot."

Xiao Jing repeatedly said: "No, I thought if we kept waiting, we’d surely die, so I took the gamble."

Xiao Bian: "Now the gamble’s over, right? It’s you, you caused their deaths."

Holding the gun and listening to nonsense? Lin Wu couldn’t stand it any longer and shot Xiao Bian dead. Taking a look at Xiao Wu’s left hand, he placed it on the table and swiftly chopped off Xiao Wu’s middle finger. As blood gushed out, Lin Wu observed the wound for a few seconds and said: "It’s okay now, it can be bandaged."

Theoretically, Lin Wu wouldn’t be able to tell, but he used his thoughts to express his desire to drink blood and to eat the middle finger. Hence, the middle finger and blood became akin to food and water, the system could not fail to respond; otherwise, Lin Wu would catch them by their little braids.

Xiao Jing hurriedly went to the RV to fetch the medical kit to help bandage Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu observed Lin Wu’s complexion: "Brother, you can’t fool me. If I’m going to die, you have to tell me. I absolutely won’t let myself become a zombie."

Lin Wu said: "If you were infected, my next step would be to chop your hand, then your arm, and only then would I finish you off."

"Fair enough." Xiao Wu was reassured, feeling that losing a finger was not that painful after all. Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Jing, who was bandaging him while crying, and said: "Xiao Jing, stop crying, try to control yourself. You’re easily spreading negative vibes."

"I’m sorry." Xiao Jing pursed her lips tightly, struggling to hold back her tears, but they kept falling, and her hands began to tremble as she bandaged him.

Lin Wu told Xiao Wu: "The person you saved, you deal with the body."

Xiao Wu said: "Lin Wu, can’t you be less cold-hearted?"

Lin Wu didn’t respond and took his own instant noodles and left alone. Lin Wu wasn’t cold-hearted before Xiao Wu rescued others; he was happy to make friends with an NPC. But after the rescue, Lin Wu knew Xiao Wu would likely not survive, so he shouldn’t waste his emotions and leave with an extra burden when he leaves.

This, like with Wai and Phantom, knowing they’re no different from NPCs, or even not as good as NPCs. But after spending a long time together, feelings naturally arise. If an emotional bond voluntarily ends, it leaves no regrets, but an abrupt end due to uncontrollable circumstances becomes a scar in one’s memories.

Take Xiao Jing and Xiao Wu to the rendezvous point? Absolutely not, it could seriously endanger the team’s interests. Taking Xiao Wu could be justified, after all, he’s a fighter with a suitable personality. Taking Xiao Jing would not only waste food, but she also couldn’t control her emotions, easily spreading negativity.

After cleaning the scene, Xiao Wu had no appetite at all, and both he and Xiao Jing were very downhearted. Lin Wu didn’t interfere, just sat on the side quietly watching the sky. Suddenly his phone rang, startling Lin Wu. He took out the phone given by Blood Meng and was stunned – wasn’t there no signal?

Lin Wu answered the phone: "Hello?"

The caller also seemed stunned: "Who are you?"

Lin Wu was surprised: "Nightmare?"

"Lin Wu?" The voice pitched eight notes higher.

Then Lin Wu heard a voice sixteen notes higher: "Lin Wu."

"Lin Meng?"

What the hell?

"How do you know Lin Wu?" Nightmare asked Lin Meng.

Lin Meng: "He’s killed me several times; even if he turned to ash, I’d recognize him." Beautiful women are born liars, and coincidentally, I am very beautiful.

Lin Wu asked: "What’s your situation?"

Nightmare first searched for several mobile card details related to Blood Meng and then, through Fortress Company’s technology, contacted each phone number via satellite link-up. This number was the fourth one they tried.

Unlike Blood Meng’s intention to go solo, Lin Meng and Nightmare approached Fortress Company within the first 24 hours, forming a temporary team, but Earth’s Fortress Company did not acknowledge their employee status. To obtain resources from Fortress Company, the two lurked near the company, waiting for the zombie crisis to break out.

At 8 a.m. on the 2nd, the zombie virus outbreak caused the city to lose control, and Fortress Company’s executives took a helicopter to the airport first thing and left on a private plane. Ordinary employees took buses out of West City to the peninsula, where Fortress Company had already arranged boats to evacuate them from the island.
