Chapter 455 - 236 Hostility
Lin Wu listened to the goddess of misfortune, Maya, as she continuously reported bad news, unable to contain his impatience, interrupting his treatment to reach the heartland. Under his meticulous search, he found two AK rifles and 50 rounds of 7.62mm bullets hidden behind a secret door, a discovery to which Maya could only silently acquiesce, accepting Lin Wu’s childish bragging.
"Guns, one gun, two guns. Bullets, one bullet, two bullets... Good luck is fleeting, intelligence is for a lifetime, but handsomeness is eternal." Lin Wu raised his right palm, and Wai jumped up to complete a high-five with Lin Wu’s right forelimb.
That’s right, finding the secret door and the weapons was all Wai’s credit. Yet Wai dared not express the slightest dissatisfaction with Lin Wu taking the credit.
To prevent the situation from escalating further, Maya carried Nightmare to the heart of the shelter to install a locator. This was Maya’s case of suspecting the noble of ignoble intentions. It was not possible for Lin Wu to drag Nightmare to the heartland, after all, that would be too tiring. Of course, there was no excluding the possibility of letting Wai do the dragging.
Shortly after the three of them and the dog left the parking lot, a missile destroyed the shelter. At the same time, the three members of the Meteorological Station received a system notification: The Meteorological Station Base had been listed as an enemy force by the Alliance. The system explained that after being listed as an enemy force by the Alliance, Alliance NPCs would attack the members of the Meteorological Station Base and their base unpredictably and without a fixed schedule. Unlike the zombie sieges, there would be no prior warning from the system, and it would be impossible to know the scale and methods of the enemy attack. The only way to remove the hostile status was over time.
Everyone was indifferent to Nightmare’s life or death. Not even Nightmare herself cherished her own life, but Nightmare, whose treatment had been interrupted, still managed to drag herself back to the Shadow Base and got a high-end hospital room. Poor Emerald Feather did not sleep all night to fix her two legs, working in the medical room all night.
The third target, the green villa.
The next morning at eight, the three of them plus the dog set off. By one in the afternoon, the two and a half humans and one dog returned to base, and Nightmare, whose left hand had been broken again, was sent back to the medical room. The fight yielded two more rifles, three handguns, and a number of bullets. Simultaneously, the base successfully crafted the first pair of fish-skin shoes.
While Nightmare and the others were fighting, the base had begun fishing early in the morning. Why had they thought to use fish skin for the soles of shoes? It was thanks to Lin Wu. He believed they wouldn’t catch any other animal with skin except fish. Also, Lin Wu asked a question: can fish skin even be considered animal skin? That question led everyone astray.
