Chapter 306 - 178 Hunter
Since the personnel from the Shadow base had not been assigned to this dock, the supermarket base and the Shadow base failed to rendezvous at their birthplace.
Let me repeat the layout and division of Waste City. Waste City is divided into 12 districts in total, with the northernmost from west to east being 1, 2, 3, 4; the middle being 5, 6, 7, 8; and the southernmost being 9, 10, 11, 12. In simple terms, 12 numbers are horizontally divided into three groups arranged in sequence.
Lin Wu and Maya are currently in District 9, in the southwestern area of Waste City. Supply points are located in Districts 1 and 4. Excavation points are in Districts 6 and 7. Theoretically, the closest route from District 9 to District 1 would be to head north across District 5, but as per the agreement between Maya and Shana, they chose the eastern target as their rally point, which is the supply point in District 4. The route from District 9 to District 4 is the longest straight line on the map.
"Let’s head to District 4," Maya decided.
Lin Wu said helplessly, "Fine," and took little Wai out of his belly and placed it on the ground.
"Drones."
Lin Wu released his drone to catch up with the main force, only to see a group of about a hundred people standing on a street with an NPC in a white lab coat lying motionless 10 meters in front of them. They didn’t know if the NPC was unconscious or dead, reminiscent of the scene from the first expedition to rescue the scientists, the only difference was that last time it was a soldier who lay unconscious.
Someone went forward first, then everyone crowded around to watch. A brave girl flipped the NPC over, and a fist-sized object hidden underneath sprang up, soared to a height of 4 meters, and exploded, sending countless steel balls flying. Blood splattered amongst the crowd of onlookers.
However, no one fell, thanks to being in full health and immune to execution. But many saw their life force drop to rock bottom. Full health immunity to execution only worked if the parties involved were players or NPCs. If you’re facing a Titan, you’d be torn to shreds even at full health. This suggested that the tripwire trap must have been set by a player or an NPC.
