Chapter 892: Chapter 388 Galaxy Building (Part 1)_3

"Twilight Elder." Lin Wu said, "Silent mode, 5 meters defense."

Lin Meng and Xiao Wu stepped out to a distance of five meters, sweeping back and forth with flashlights. Seeing Lin Meng take a knee, looking very professional, Xiao Wu also followed suit and knelt on one knee.

Lin Wu inserted the battery, powered up the device, and pressed a few buttons, emitting noise. Once plunged into darkness, sound could become a lethal target. He hoped Stone had tuned to the right frequency and that everyone wasn’t sleeping too soundly.

After waiting for about ten seconds, Lin Wu once again sent out a noise burst and started cursing Stone in his mind.

Half a minute passed, and just as Lin Wu was about to make a direct call, a woman’s voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Is anyone there?"

Who is this? Lin Wu replied, "King of Shadows calling Shadow Farmer, please respond if you hear this."

"My name is Xiao Wen, who are you?"

Before Lin Wu could answer, he immediately crouched down as a zombie lunged at him from a meter away, shrouded in darkness. Lin Wu used his bent posture to flip it over, his knee pinning its stomach while his left hand grabbed the zombie’s chin. The zombie struggled to twist its head in an attempt to bite Lin Wu’s hand, but Lin Wu’s hand strength was no longer the same as before, rendering the zombie’s attack fruitless as it made a sound resembling clearing phlegm.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Wu was also wrestling with a zombie on the ground in close combat. His flashlight rolled away, and in the darkness, he used the speed of his hands to slap back and forth, quickly identifying the position of the zombie’s head. Unable to shoot its brain with the gun in his right hand and unable to reach the Nail-Pulling Hammer in his backpack, he could only strangle the zombie’s neck with both hands.

Lin Meng was not idle either. She spotted a zombie preparing to attack her and acted preemptively, but as it only passed in front of the flashlight, her first shot didn’t blow its head off. Lin Meng immediately retreated to buy time through distance, drawing out a water pipe with a tied knot. Hitting was an ineffective move, incapable of stopping the zombie from lunging at her. Lin Meng used stabbing, keeping the zombie’s head away to ensure her own safety.

Unsure of how many more zombies there were, and seeing that both sides were being ambushed, Lin Wu picked up the walkie-talkie and smashed it onto the head of the zombie. After a few hits, the walkie-talkie shattered, providing Lin Wu with a makeshift dagger, which he fiercely stabbed into the temple of the zombie’s head.

It wasn’t that Lin Wu wanted to waste the walkie-talkie, but the recent attack had caused his gun, which was attached to his waist, to fall to the ground. Instead of picking up the gun, Lin Wu shook his shoulder to swing his backpack forward and then sidled his right hand to pull out a dagger from the left side of the backpack. This movement was very easy in the game, but in Hardcore Mode, it was challenging. Under game mode, the side of the backpack served as a weapon rack, ensuring weapons wouldn’t fall off regardless of running or rolling. In Hardcore Mode, if the backpack was not positioned correctly, it was difficult to reach the dagger.

After Lin Wu joined the fight, he quickly ended the battle: "Has anyone been bitten?"

Xiao Wu and Lin Meng both checked places like their arms. Lin Meng’s neck was scratched, and the bandage on Xiao Wu’s broken finger on his left hand was torn off, but after inspection, they confirmed that there were no bite wounds.

Lin Wu cleaned up the dagger and pistol, blaming himself internally. After discovering the message left by Stone, he had let his guard down. Consequently, while communicating with Xiao Wen, he failed to stay alert against the wall, which allowed the zombie to catch him by surprise.

Lin Meng stayed alert, watching Lin Wu search for walkie-talkie parts on the ground, and asked, "How is it?"

Lin Wu threw the parts in his hand onto the ground and stood up to ask, "Who is Xiao Wen?"

"I don’t know her." Lin Meng and Xiao Wu answered in unison.

Lin Wu said, "Given the current situation, let’s first clear the zombies within a fifteen-meter radius and use these four cars as a temporary camp to rest and regroup."
