Chapter 14 - 13 Wind Stinger
In Shadow Base, Stone had already received the call. He pondered in his mind what "Liangren" was—a person, a base, or a codename? It seemed like Lin Wu's voice, but wasn't Lin Wu supposed to be scouting the church on the mountaintop? Why would there be a radio? As the person in charge of the base, Stone didn't hurry to respond but gave himself time to sort out his thoughts.
After Lin Wu mentioned Stone, the female leader, surprised, asked beside him, "Stone, his name is actually just Stone?"
Lin Wu nodded. Could it be such a coincidence? First, out of Blue Star's eligible 1.5 billion, a million were drawn, then pulled into the same city. Two acquaintances avoided the game's 90% mortality rate on that day and even fled to the same town. The female leader took the walkie-talkie: "Stone, this is Maya."
Stone immediately replied with surprise, "Maya?"
Lin Wu was dissatisfied. You don't answer when 'Liangren' calls, but the moment it's a woman's voice, you pick up instantly. What's that about?
Huh? Maya? Was Maya a good name? Compared to Lin Wu, Stone, Little Knife, of course it was much better. Given Dawn's naming quirks, it was either blind luck, like a blind cat finding a dead rat, giving her a beautiful name by chance, or this Maya was not part of the 95% commoners but among the 5% elite.
Actually, Dawn's naming had its merits, because there was only one Stone, the name unique to a living person across the entire Blue Star. Hence, as soon as Maya heard the name Stone, she didn't need to consider the possibility of it being a common name.
Stone said, "Maya, let's meet."
Maya thought for a moment with the walkie-talkie in hand and asked, "Do you have a spare bed over there?"
Stone replied, "There's one."
Maya: "Good, I will come to find you."
