Kingdom of Corrosion

While eating instant noodles, Maya asked about the transportation situation for special agents.

Lin Meng explained, "Every city, whether it’s a county or a large city, has a Fortress airport. We use points to buy plane tickets, and we can take a plane to any city from the airport. However, tickets are exclusive to special agents. You can’t use them, otherwise I could help you buy two; they don’t cost many points."

The majority of the agents’ points are spent on ammunition due to their high usage rates. Food is another big expense; they can buy high-quality cuisine. For them, gasoline is also considered a rather luxurious commodity.

Lin Wu: "Could you give us a lift tomorrow?"

Lin Meng: "I can take you, but which road will you take? There’s a road collapse ahead on Route 88, cars can’t get through. If you take the county road, I can’t guarantee a safe arrival at Fantasy City; I’ve never been to Fantasy City. In fact, I haven’t entered North City."

North City is vast and densely populated with zombies. If one doesn’t take Route 88, one must go through the urban area. Round City Road is pretty much the only choice, but it’s littered with abandoned cars, which means you often can’t speed up, and there’s always the risk of being surrounded. Another option is to go through the sewer system, but considering the size of Left County and North City, even without getting lost, it would take several days to get out.

Safety first, Maya said, "We’ll continue on Route 88 then. According to the road signs, Fantasy City is just 300 kilometers away." In nearly three weeks, Lin Ma had already covered half the distance.

Lin Meng nodded: "Tomorrow, I’ll take you to the collapse site."
