Chapter 111 - 99: Fearless Duo
Lin Wu was in charge of driving, with Maya sitting in the co-pilot seat in her role as a coach. She thought that Lin Wu’s driving skills were fine, and that what he needed next was to develop his sense for the car through mileage.
The two arrived at Invincible Base at nine in the evening. Since they had contacted the base beforehand, Peanut, from the sentry tower, saw them from a distance and immediately came down to greet them. After shaking hands, they chatted as they walked towards the base, not expecting that inside the main building of the base there was an argument in progress. Swear words were flying, and it was completely unclear what the argument was about, nor who was arguing or who was trying to mediate.
When the three saw that there were visitors, they all stopped and went off to do their own things. As the Deputy Commander, Peanut completely ignored the incident, only apologizing to Lin Wu and Maya. Peanut knocked on the dormitory door, and Emerald Feather came out, enthusiastically shaking hands with Lin Wu and hugging Maya before the four of them went to a side room, the dispensary, to make medicine and chat.
Lin Wu: "Why do girls always like to hug each other?"
Stone: "Idiot, boys also like to hug girls."
It takes ten minutes to produce ten vials of serum and, adding in other medications, roughly 20 minutes in total. Peanut brought out three tags and four bottles of mineral water from the storage room: "Sorry, we don’t have much to offer you." He really wanted to grandly declare: "Let’s have a feast." Comparison is the thief of joy.
Maya didn’t join the conversation, so Lin Wu had to bite the bullet and speak up. He could hear the awkwardness in Peanut’s words: "It’s fine. The day before yesterday we had a fight at our base, but by yesterday we were all fine again. Conflicts are inevitable in communal living."
Peanut shook his head and said nothing.
Emerald Feather said, "Last time during the defense of the city, we lost two brothers. We’ve just recruited three new players. One is a level two Fishing player, another joined the base with an assault rifle, and there’s also a dual-agility scout." Since the arrival of the three, the atmosphere at Invincible Base had started to sour.
