Chapter 294 - 173: Riverside_2
The walking trail features extended boardwalks that reach into the river, equipped with pavilions and long corridors. The pavilions have rest areas.
Today’s objective is to reach the pavilion, benches, and restrooms located every 300 meters.
Sliding down the slope from Route 2 into the park, perhaps due to the trees on both sides, the snow here was relatively shallow. After some consideration, Maya had Lin Wu remove his skis, and the two of them trudged forward, stepping deep and shallow into the snow.
With their speed hindered by the heavy snow, Maya became the main force in eliminating enemies. She cleaned up all the zombies obstructing the path with her Rapid-Fire Crossbow. As Lin Wu walked, he operated the drone, both to be cautious of the Solar Demon’s sneak attacks and to search for Frenzy. Currently, Frenzy was the only one who could potentially cause significant harm to the two of them.
The two made smooth progress for about a hundred meters when they came upon a boardwalk by the roadside, upon which stood two large pavilions. Just as they were about to head toward the boardwalk, a round object rolled down from the slope beside Route 2.
"Exploding Carnage," Maya said. With an 8-meter slope, there was neither time nor possibility to shoot it in the head. Right as the Exploding Carnage was about to reach the bottom of the slope, Maya shot it, causing it to explode. A cloud of green smoke immediately enveloped a ten-meter radius around them, engulfing both Lin Wu and Maya.
The two immediately took off running onto the boardwalk. In perfect sync, they jumped over the railing and into the Left County River, finally escaping the cloud of green smoke. Zombies from the surrounding area were already approaching. Lin Wu had no time to deal with the zombie in front of him; he just ran, pulling out painkillers to eat as he went. The Exploding Carnage’s poison was extremely virulent; within moments, Lin Wu had only thirty percent of his health remaining.
Maya multitasked, hanging the Repeating Crossbow on her left hand while switching to a handgun, and with her right hand, she took painkillers. She fired several shots to kill the zombies around her.
Lin Wu, who had run about seven or eight meters away, shouted back, "Run!"
