Chapter 895: Chapter 390 Maya’s Identity

meters is not a safe zone. Lin Wu begins to prepare, setting aside his tools and arming himself with weapons, before stealthily making his way to the pharmacy alone. There’s no room for stealth kills here, only a head-on confrontation with the pistol. Without the suppressor’s aid, the pistol noise affects a range of 15 meters. Lin Wu starts nibbling away at the zombies from the outskirts, bit by bit. The real killer is reloading; before finishing two magazines, he has to retreat to the safe zone to reload.

Fortunately, Dawn had secured plenty of ammunition from Fortress Company. After using up a box of bullets, Lin Wu successfully enters a pharmacy that’s been damaged but not looted, with broken display glass and scattered medications. Guided by Xiao Wen’s explanation, Lin Wu finds the freezer, which still contains some cool air.

Lin Wu picks up a portable medical kit, empties its contents, and then finds neatly arranged insulin vials in the freezer, filling the entire medical kit with them. This medical kit is rechargeable, and when fully charged, it can maintain a temperature of 2-8 degrees Celsius for 24 hours at normal ambient temperatures. He then takes another portable medical kit and fills it with disposable syringes, IV sets, alcohol, and so on. And of course, he doesn’t forget to take a blood pressure and glucose meter.

Upon his return, Lin Wu complains to Lin Meng, "You’re such a handful, it would have been better if you hadn’t turned, just focused on being a Fortress agent."

Lin Meng isn’t angry but looks a bit wronged and self-reproachful, which makes Lin Wu feel guilty, "Alright, I was just venting."

"I’ve held everyone back."

Lin Wu waves it off, "This game is too simple. If it wasn’t for you slowing us down, how would I have my moments of glory? Stop fussing, give me a smile." He reaches out to flick her chin, and Lin Meng forces a smile.

Lin Wu secures a medical kit to Lin Meng’s backpack straps with a rope, signals to Xiao Wu who nods and begins to hoist upward. Lin Wu stuffs the other medical kit into his own backpack.

Lin Meng has no idea why she’s offended Dawn—her weight doesn’t match her physique. She looks only slightly plump, but Xiao Wu nearly breaks his back pulling her up to the 5th-floor rooftop. After reaching the rooftop, Lin Wu questions Lin Meng and learns the situation. The young miss felt her body weight was too embarrassing to mention and had reasons she couldn’t explain to Xiao Wu.

Sure enough, Xiao Wu is highly skeptical of Lin Meng’s 70 kilograms; apart from a slightly chubby face, it’s hard to see where Lin Meng is overweight.

The 5th floor was manageable, but the 30th floor would be impossible for Xiao Wu to pull on his own.

Lin Wu explains the situation at the bottom of the office tower; the greatest challenge is to get Lin Meng to the 30th floor. Once there, they can hook onto a descending cable and rely on an electric winch and pulleys to pull Lin Meng step by step.

During their discussion, Lin Wu and Xiao Wu consider various plans, eventually deciding that Xiao Wu would go up first and then let down a rope, with Lin Wu using his own body and climbing skills to push Lin Meng up bit by bit.

During the discussion, Lin Meng covers her face. The two men are actually discussing in front of her how to handle her overweight body. That day, her self-esteem for a lifetime was completely exhausted. Curse Dawn. Yet, she pulled the envelope herself, her own pick smelling faintly of roses, so why did it link her with the homeless, chronic illness, and obesity?

Xiao Wu first unloads all supplies, and even so, climbing from the 5th to the 30th floor via a single rope exhausts him. Resting briefly on the small platform of the 30th floor, he hauls several backpacks to the small outpost and hangs them up. His vision is swimming with stars by then. After resting more, eating his last two energy bars, and drinking half a bottle of water, Xiao Wu signals he’s ready.

Lin Wu takes the rope and ties it under his armpits, while Lin Meng hooks onto another rope. As Xiao Wu pulls the other rope, Lin Meng tries to grab protrusions with both hands to reduce everyone’s load.

At first, Lin Wu lifts Lin Meng with one hand, but later, like a daughter riding on her father’s shoulders, Lin Meng sits on Lin Wu’s. Because they are close to the wall, Lin Meng opens her legs as wide as possible, leading to frequent cramps and cries of pain.

Every floor has diamond-shaped decorations, which are Lin Wu’s main points of leverage. After reaching the 20th floor, Lin Wu supports Lin Meng at each level to give Xiao Wu enough rest time. Lin Meng isn’t sure what she’s feeling internally, but Xiao Wu has heartfelt admiration for Lin Wu. Even though he’s cold-blooded and ruthless, he’s pretty decent with his own teammates.

Finally reaching the 30th floor, Xiao Wu, panting, supports Lin Meng to rest on the small platform, while Lin Wu gets some rest just keeping himself up with one hand on the platform.

Xiao Wu hooks onto the carabiner on Lin Meng’s safety rope, and Lin Wu says, "Now it’s in your own hands; there might be collisions, so try to protect yourself as best as you can."

"Okay." Lin Meng doesn’t tell Lin Wu that she’s terrified to death. Not of dying, but just plain acrophobia. But she doesn’t voice it, knowing that even if she did, Lin Wu wouldn’t be able to help.

Lin Wu on the walkie-talkie: "Begin."

The motor starts, tightening the rope, pulling it taut, and Lin Meng bravely steps off the platform, grabbing protrusions with both hands, moving to the right. But within barely ten meters, Lin Meng loses her grip, screaming as she plummets downward. The rope snaps tight at the pulley point, swinging Lin Meng against the wall to the right, back again, and then over again, as Lin Wu clearly sees her outer clothing tearing on the protrusions.

Lin Wu says, "Xiao Wu, you’ll put on the wet clothes in a minute."

"Got it."

"I’ll go across first."

Lin Wu, with two backpacks, removes the safety rope and moves horizontally to the southwest. When he reaches the position, Lin Meng has already passed the pulley point. She unhooks the pulley, letting the rope disengage, continuing to fall, swinging back and forth. Finally, Lin Meng stops below the shelter, and the motor winds the rope, pulling her up.
