Kingdom of Corrosion

Lin Wu’s drone was circling above the observation post when he discovered that this place used to be a radar station. A towering signal tower, two vehicles topped with radar, and a two-story building that covered dozens of square meters in the middle. The entire observation post spanned about four hundred square meters, surrounded by railings, with two artillery pieces parked on the side facing the road. Besides, there were a few scattered soldier zombies.

Shana was about to step up the stairs with her hand on the railing when Lin Wu pulled her back, signaling her to wait. Lin Wu lowered the drone to take a closer look at the entrance formed by four stacked containers, but found nothing out of place.

"We haven’t encountered any danger on our way here," Lin Wu said. "Either someone has reached the observation post before us, or there’s a trap."

Shana asked, "Did the drone find any automatic sensing guns?"

Lin Wu shook his head. "No, but it reminded me of a joke."

"Hmm?"

Lin Wu plucked two leaves, handing one to Shana. "Delicious, mint-flavored."

Shana didn’t believe it, shaking her head vigorously.

Lin Wu put one of the leaves in his mouth and chewed, seeming to enjoy its taste, and then took a breath against the wind. "Refreshingly cool."

Seeing this, Shana put the leaf in her mouth to chew, and then, like Lin Wu, spat it out. Bitter and astringent, it was not something meant for human consumption. Annoyed, Shana slapped Lin Wu a few times.

Lin Wu explained, "Indeed, someone has been to the observation post, but they either didn’t find any supplies or looted them, then spread false information saying there were traps and dangers along the way. Normal people would think that if the system could set up so many traps and dangers, there must be good stuff."
