Chapter 915: Chapter 398: Guiding_2

Lin Wu said, "That’s philosophical." After speaking, he handed the ax to Snow Egg and walked forward a few train cars sneaking a look back, quietly calling to Little White Rabbit: "Complaint—Xiao Wu is a playboy who likes lower body activities, how could he have a philosophical understanding of life?" Always felt like Hardcore Mode was missing something, turns out it’s complaining.

Little White Rabbit directly replied, "I think it’s reasonable."

Lin Wu: "Complaint 2, the Hope train actually doesn’t leak water."

Little White Rabbit: "In the settings, the Hope gets repainted and maintained every few years..."

This indicates that the Hope indeed does not leak rainwater.

Lin Wu: "Complaint 3, violating fundamental principles of physics: the locomotive of the Hope is still usable."

Little White Rabbit: "As long as it’s properly maintained and repaired, even the most complex machinery can be put back to use."

Lin Wu: "Complaint 4, there are too many zombies in the building." He got the answer: There really are a lot of zombies in the building.

Answer 5: Once the flood waters recede, an epidemic will break out in the city. The cause of the epidemic is human corpses and dead zombie bodies.

Answer 6: Currently, there are about 30,000 survivors left in the five major districts of Day After Tomorrow City.

Answer 7: Over 800,000 survivors from Day After Tomorrow City have evacuated to the suburbs and rural areas. The total population is between 800,000 to 2.3 million, the exact number isn’t clear.

Answer 8: The rebellion at East Shelter isn’t intentionally caused by the system. The system only provides a setting; as long as there is one player in the ecosystem, the system cannot make accurate calculations or predict future developments.

Answer 9: There are only two reasons for zombie virus infection: one is being bitten by infected zombies or people, and two is drinking water contaminated with the virus, or consuming animals that carry the zombie virus. The reason air transmission is excluded is to leave a lifeline for the players.

Answer 10: Days of continuous rain hardly count as extreme weather, within 180 days, the most comfortable seasons are the spring of the first 45 days and the autumn of 90-135 days, as extreme weather often occurred in the Year 2040.

Answer 11: Damn Dawn has divided 180 days into four seasons.

Lin Wu’s series of complaints finished, he felt as relieved as having taken a hot shower. Snow Egg knew what he had done and didn’t mind, saying, "Lin Wu, I was just thinking, shouldn’t our top priority be finding a way to bring Maya here?"

Lin Wu agreed, "Right. I think we don’t have much time left. In a few days, when the floodwaters recede and the temperature rises, the entire city will become a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. But without knowing Maya’s situation, we can only wait for her to contact us. You know her character; if she thinks it’s too dangerous for us to come get her, she might not want to tell us her location."

Snow Egg: "She’s a pure collectivist, even her own life is less important than the lives of two people collectively."

Lin Wu asked, "Don’t you like her?"

Snow Egg candidly answered, "I like her as a person, but I don’t like her ideology."

Lin Wu said, "That’s the interesting part of humanity. Just imagine, if everyone had the same thoughts, how would that be different from assembly line products?"

Snow Egg: "The noble-minded can agree to disagree. Should we cook instant noodles again? Do we have enough water?"

Lin Wu: "I just checked, the water on the bridge isn’t contaminated."

Snow Egg looked at a shallow puddle nearby and said, "I’ll make a simple filtration system. Xiao Wu, can you help me prepare some charcoal?"

"Okay."

Lin Wu doubted, "Charcoal?"

Snow Egg patted Lin Wu’s shoulder, "Your ignorance gives me a great sense of achievement. You go rest, and once I’ve set up the filtration system, I’ll need you to collect fresh water."

Snow Egg added, "Getting a sense of achievement from you makes me feel accomplished."

Lin Wu smiled, the two fist-bumped, and Lin Wu went back to the carriage to make a fire.

...

At night, without any bedding, the three of them lay on the hard ground, agreeing that blankets and similar items should be a priority. They heard the sound of mosquitoes and agreed that mosquito coils or repellent should be added. After urinating outside, they felt it would be good to have some candles. After using the restroom, they felt that restrooms should also be included in the discussions.

Living like this, they realized they lacked everything from tools to everyday essentials.

The next morning, Xiao Wu stayed at the camp and also gathered firewood from the elevated highway while making a walkway to the waterfall under safe conditions. They could cut some small trees and tie them together with wire since the walkway needed to be less than two meters wide.

Lin Wu and Snow Egg avoided the zombie-infested train area and went to search for supplies in the materials train while also waiting for and supporting the main team. The first thing they found was a car full of paper towels, but damn it, the paper towels were not in sealed packaging and were completely soggy from water. Next, they found a car full of bundled electrical wires, each bundle weighing about ten kilograms; after thinking it over, they took one bundle. The next few cars were livestock cars; upon opening a door, they were hit by a foul smell and immediately shut it.

They then found cars transporting coal and steel coils. The coal had clearly been soaked and they didn’t know if it was usable or even what type of coal it was. They marked it down to study later when there was time.

Other cars contained pianos, office supplies, toys, and more. The materials they needed were either not found or were excessively abundant. They found useful supplies like olive oil and salt. They also found rice, but it was all unpackaged and likely meant to be sent for packaging at a factory; the water-soaked rice smelled terribly unpleasant. The flour was well-packaged, but not waterproof.
