Chapter 391 - 211 Rest Day
With the fall of the last zombie, the siege came to an end.
Lin Wu picked up Wai and sat against the wall, applying a bandage to himself and performing a skill treatment on Wai. Stone, who seemed a decade older, had also lost all sense of composure, plopping down near Lin Wu, leaning against half a conference table, and taking a serum syringe out of his backpack to inject himself.
Stone appeared to lack even the strength to pull out the syringe, allowing it to stay jabbed into his thigh. He swallowed a painkiller and then took out two cigars, clipping off the ends and lighting one before tossing it at Lin Wu’s feet. Too lazy to explain that he didn’t smoke, Lin Wu put the cigar in Wai’s mouth. Stone drew a deep breath of smoke, held it, and then, tilting his head back to look at the sky, slowly exhaled.
Stone: "More exhausting than wrangling with my ex-wife."
Lin Wu chuckled, "Su Shi is still in the trunk."
"If you don’t feel like moving, just let him stay there, I can’t be bothered," said Stone, assessing the base’s damage. They had lost 15% of supplies, and 8% of items, which included an assault rifle. The crafting area was completely destroyed, and the medical room was partially damaged. In the past, such losses would have incensed him, but now he didn’t even have the strength to be angry. It wasn’t a lack of physical strength, it was sheer mental exhaustion. Ten minutes of high-intensity combat had depleted a middle-aged man’s vitality.
Fortunately, it was Lin Wu left behind today. Had it been anyone else, the outcome would have been unthinkable. Perhaps Maya could have withstood it, but the likely result would have been Maya’s death or severe injury, and the base’s bandages wouldn’t have lasted until the reinforcements could arrive.
When the reinforcements arrived, Su Shi had been let out of the trunk and was busy mending the conference table with nails—the only large table next to the bonfire. Stone and Lin Wu went to the medical room for treatment of their bleeding and fractures. Seeing how minor their injuries were, everyone, including Maya, had underestimated the difficulty of this battle.
