Chapter 697 - 329: Forward
Maya, who usually maintained a calm disposition, became quite talkative after acquiring the iron supplies, unable to suppress her excitement. It wasn’t because the metal was valuable, but rather, to Maya, metal was a ticket home.
Seeing this, Lin Wu became somewhat worried. He sincerely hoped that the road was Highway 99; otherwise, the disappointment for Maya would be cruel. Maya let herself get excited, kept busy, and didn’t have the time to think about whether it was Highway 99 or not. Wasn’t this a form of escape?
When the usually composed Maya showed such emotions, it represented the eager desire she had to return home. Lin Wu didn’t want Maya to be disappointed, but their chances were only 50%, and their fate was not in their own hands.
The heart should harbor hope, but not be excessively demanding, otherwise, it can easily fall into endless hell.
With the metal weapon as her backup, Maya began slashing zombies with abandon. However, compared to her previous swordsmanship, her knife method lacked fluidity; in short, the combo rate was low. In this type of head-on battlefield, Lin Wu’s role was quite limited. His weapon was a stick made of the simplest materials, and he could only shout from the side while Maya shooed him away with her knife to rest in the shade.
Inspired by Lin Meng’s slingshot, Lin Wu tried to combine wood and plastic in the crafting area, resulting in a plastic-handled wooden stick. He then combined leftover rubber and wood to make a rubber-headed stick. Continuing to experiment, he combined plastic and rubber to be presented with four options, and Lin Wu chose the elastic band. Using the wood and elastic band together, he finally made a stone thrower.
What the hell!
Placing a stone in one end of the stone thrower and swinging the handle, the stone would be catapulted out. There was no way to speak of accuracy; at the beginning of training, he could even hit himself.
