Chapter 454 - 235 Assault_2
Although Shadow had needs, they could not beg Nightmare for help.
Stone went to the Meteorological Station to see Nightmare and told her that recently, some members within Shadow had expressed objections to outsiders staying at the base. Therefore, he asked Nightmare to hurry up if she wanted to carry out a mission or leave the Shadow base if she did not. Nightmare expressed her understanding and explained that she hoped to remove all of the Alliance Shelters in Left County as much as possible.
Stone was in a tough spot as this was a very dangerous mission, which meant more money. Nightmare assured that she would cooperate with Shadow’s looting operations; she only wanted points. If Shadow could help remove multiple shelters, she was willing to give 20% of the points she earned to Shadow. Of course, Shadow did not want her points, but Nightmare could use the 20% points to buy weapons and ammunition from the Fortress and donate them to Shadow.
There is an ancient story about a doctor who was resting in a pavilion, and at the same time, a mother and her child traveling on the road were resting there as well. Apparently exhausted, the mother and child dozed off in the pavilion. A venomous snake then appeared near the child.
In the first scenario, the doctor immediately raised the alarm, and the mother and child escaped, leaving everyone safe and sound.
In the second scenario, the doctor immediately raised the alarm, and the mother and child escaped, but the child was bitten. They might blame the doctor for startling the snake, which led to the child being bitten.
In the third scenario, the doctor caught the snake, grabbed it, and, although the mother and child were startled, everyone was safe.
In the fourth scenario, the doctor grabbed the snake and was bitten, incurring medical expenses. The mother and child might think it has nothing to do with them, and the doctor considered himself unlucky.
