Kingdom of Corrosion

Pier Road and Highway 99 had so few zombies after the game entered Hardcore Mode that they were almost negligible. But scarce as they were, surprises could still happen. Lin Wu was essentially a new driver, with only 1000 kilometers of driving experience on Blue Star, so he focused intently as he drove. That’s how he managed to avoid the Exploding Carnage lying in the middle of the road, seemingly asleep. He stopped the car, got out with his pistol, walked up to the Exploding Carnage, blew its head off with a single shot, walked back, drove off.

Since the profits from the marketplace had reduced significantly, the Shadow Group had lost their motivation to work. When Lin Wu arrived at the Sawmill, the people from the Shadow Group were having breakfast, which consisted of clay pot porridge and black pepper spaghetti. Lin Wu glanced at the breakfast spread and eventually decided against partaking. By appearances, Cotton’s culinary skills weren’t inferior to Horse Soul’s.

Lin Wu sat down in the backyard meeting room, released a drone, and started searching for traces of merchants. Stone brought over a bowl of clay pot porridge and sat beside Lin Wu, saying, "Don’t take it too seriously, even if we find them, we can’t afford to buy anything."

Lin Wu replied, "But Maya seems to be in a rush."

Stone answered, "After all, she’s young, willing to give 100% for a 1% chance."

Lin Wu: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Stone, not taking offense, said, "I have a personal question to ask."

Lin Wu: "I like Wai." Wai, sprawled on the conference table, rolled over and wagged his tail, seemingly enjoying himself. In reality, it was just a normal reaction to his name being mentioned.
