Chapter 871: Chapter 380 Plan_2

Xiao Wu, having seen zombies before, had a mental simulation of how to respond to zombie scenarios, so he took a handgun and practiced shooting blanks on the training ground. As for whether it was useful or not, both Lin Wu and Xiao Wu had no idea. It was a last-minute effort, better than nothing.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jing finally demonstrated one of her strengths: cooking.

She steamed some buns with flour, made a seaweed soup, and a vegetable salad. Even though her mood wasn’t high, she was organized and methodical in her actions. However, from her face, one could tell that either the vegetables had made her eyes tear up, or she had taken a moment to cry quietly while cooking.

In the afternoon, they trained with cold weapons, which wasn’t Lin Wu’s strong suit. Without the enhancement of his skills, baseball bats could only inflict limited damage to the hardcore zombies. In real combat, blunt weapons obviously had advantages over sharp weapons, at least they could knock a zombie’s head askew, but it was hard to avoid getting scratched.

Through Lin Wu’s observations from the watchtower, he found the most ferocious zombies to be the female ones, because they had nails. For example, some worker zombies didn’t get much stronger after transforming and their hands could hardly scratch through human skin.

Some say that when the apocalypse comes, you should kill the saints first. Lin Wu believes that when the apocalypse comes, you should trim your nails first.

According to the system description, getting scratched won’t result in a zombie virus infection, but the longer a zombie exists, the more other viruses it accumulates on its body. If wounds are not treated in time, one could get infected with various diseases.

...

At three in the afternoon, two paragliders arrived as scheduled, landing effortlessly near the parking campsite. Lin Meng saw Lin Wu’s silly grin, and Lin Wu flicked her forehead: Don’t you know how to hide your feelings a bit?

Blood Meng didn’t suspect Lin Meng, but was very angry upon seeing Lin Wu being rough. Faced with Blood Meng’s scolding, Lin Wu tossed his head, walked away, and dropped a line: Mind your own business, eat more farts.

Perplexed by the childishness, Blood Meng said to Lin Meng: "This is not a game, don’t be afraid of him. The more timid you are, the more presumptuous he’ll be."

"Okay."

"Everyone, come over, let me introduce." Lin Wu said: "Xiao Wu, Xiao Jing. Blood Meng, Lin Meng. They also come from Blue Star a thousand years in the future, having traveled here due to entering a Space-Time Wormhole by mistake." This was the story background explained beforehand to Twin Dreams, otherwise what? Tell Xiao Wu and Xiao Jing that you are NPCs, and this is a game. Not to mention whether they would believe it or not, how would they get along afterwards?

Blood Meng casually nodded and waved to Lin Meng to take out the backpack, placing the guns and ammunition on a folding table. Blood Meng said: "There are plenty of bullets, but only 10 magazines."

"What do you mean?" Lin Wu asked. "Do we have to load bullets manually after using two magazines?"

Lin Meng chimed in: "You could also press the R key."

"Not funny at all." Lin Wu had never thought about this issue, in the game, he would just switch between two magazines. After firing two shots from a 30-round magazine, you usually get a full magazine in return. But now the situation was different, you generally couldn’t change magazines before you were out of bullets. This required him to count and be aware of the remaining bullets in the magazine. Lin Wu tore open a box of bullets and began loading them into an empty magazine: "What? Fortress Company doesn’t even have rifles?"

Lin Meng responded: "The law doesn’t allow it, even handguns are only permitted to be carried within the company, and after discharging, a report has to be filed with the police investigation."

"Ha, the Fortress Company is actually a law-abiding company after all."

Lin Meng pondered for a moment: "Paid regularly, full insurance coverage, compliance with labor laws, yes, Fortress is a law-abiding company."

With a backing, they grew bold enough to talk back to me.

Blood Meng and Maya both possessed the skill to automatically filter out idle banter and barbs. Looking at Xiao Wu, Blood Meng said: "Xiao Wu right? This gun’s for you."

Lin Wu interjected: "He’s got his own issued gun."

"Let me see." Blood Meng took Xiao Wu’s handgun: "It’s fairly quiet. Choose a few silencers for yourself, take the bullets as you see fit."

"Thank you."

Blood Meng then looked at Xiao Jing: "Ever used a gun?"

Xiao Jing shook her head.

Without saying anything else, they each organized the guns, bullets, and silencers from the table. Blood Meng took out two night-vision devices from her bag, giving one to Lin Wu. Then, she opened her hand-drawn map, which made Lin Wu laugh out loud involuntarily. Blood Meng snapped: "Go get Shana to draw it."

Lin Wu apologized, gesturing for her to go on.

Blood Meng explained: "The route, where to get off, this is an overlooking view of the hospital. There are four floors in the emergency section. The first floor has several isolation wards, the basement level houses the mortuary, the second floor is the examination area, CT, X-Ray, ultrasound, etcetera. The third and fourth floors are unclear. To the right of the emergency section is the outpatient building, the fourth floor of which is the ICU."

Blood Meng said: "The objective: find people or corpses."

Lin Wu asked, "Xiao Wu, you’re more familiar with Central City Hospital, do you think there could be survivors in this emergency section?"

Xiao Wu responded: "It’s possible. The doors used for X-rays and the like are specially made, as long as there is no continuous noise inside, zombies shouldn’t specifically attack the doors. The mortuary refrigeration units, you mentioned zombies are unable to perform door-opening and drawer-pulling actions."

"What about the outpatient building?"

Xiao Wu thought for a moment: "Not very optimistic."

Blood Meng inquired: "What clothes is Sharp Blade wearing?"

Lin Wu replied: "When I took her to the hospital, she was wearing grayish-white jeans, a black leather jacket, a red undergarment. But I suspect she may have been changed into hospital attire." Sent to the hospital a little after 7, doctors started surgery immediately, and by 8 the zombie virus outbreak had begun. Lin Wu didn’t hold much hope for Sharp Blade’s survival chances.
