Chapter 134 - 108: Fortress Agent
The next target was the Blind Bat, a creature Maya couldn’t handle. Lin Wu, however, was an entity the Blind Bat couldn’t contend with, and soon, the Blind Bat was mercilessly killed by Lin Wu. The reason for using the term "mercilessly" is that, in order to allow Maya to clearly see and assess the Blind Bat’s defenses, Maya tested quite a few knives on it before it died. She even shot the Blind Bat three times in the limbs to test the effectiveness of firearms in causing dismemberment.
These three shots attracted the nearby zombies and also trouble. It’s as if this duo was always flirting with death. Unaware of the terrain, Maya’s movement speed was greatly constrained in the water. Coupled with the poor light of nightfall, she couldn’t quickly deal with the Screamer, resulting in the battle lasting 10 minutes.
After the fight, Lin Wu had a sudden idea, "What do you think about keeping a couple of Screamers in the supermarket?"
Maya was stumped by Lin Wu’s out-of-the-box thinking, and after mulling it over for a while, she replied, "Sounds interesting. What do you mean?"
Lin Wu said, "Screamers don’t have hands or teeth. They’re not offensive by nature. We could tie one up inside the supermarket with a piece of rope and seal its mouth with duct tape. When we need to farm monsters, we’ll just rip off the tape and let it scream."
After thinking it over for a while, Maya said, "Sounds doable. Let’s try it when we get back."
The two discussed the details of abducting a Screamer until they reached the waterfall, where Lin Wu realized his previous mistake – there was no cave behind the waterfall. There was a narrow path built along the mountain instead, circling around North Lake. Lin Wu had visited North Lake twice, but it was always at night, so he’d never noticed the path before.
Standing on the pathway looking over North Lake with the waterfall rushing down just meters away, Maya looked around and said, "Apart from what you said about a radio antenna or signal tower, there are no artificial traces here."
Lin Wu replied, "But there are Blind Bats."
