Chapter 718 - 337 Reconnaissance_2
Lin Sha returned to the villa and waited by the iron gate for about a minute. A propeller drone flew over the street and hovered 20 meters above, continuously scanning the surrounding area with a red beam. At that moment, the owner of the neighboring villa came out to check the situation. The red light paused on him for several seconds before retracting and continuing its scan of the vicinity. The neighbor, acting as if it were a common sight, returned to his house.
"Stay here," Lin Wu said before vaulting out and walking onto the street to face the red light. He didn’t notice a gun barrel on the drone. With Lin Wu’s knowledge of drones, they came in two types, reconnaissance drones with propellers and fixed-wing combat drones. The former had slow speed, light weight, and long endurance. The latter had fast flight speed, heavy weight, and short endurance.
The red light lingered on Lin Wu for a moment, then the drone lunged at him. Lin Wu, of course, took off running, with the drone in hot pursuit. At the critical moment, Lin Wu Wind Stingered behind a zombie. The drone crashed into the ground where Lin Wu had been and exploded, instantly killing the zombie. Although Lin Wu was spared from the shrapnel, the blast wave sent him smashing into a streetlight.
This commotion instantly alarmed the nearby zombies and NPCs. The NPCs stepped out of the iron gate to look at Lin Wu, watching as if it were a movie; expressionless and silent, they just watched. But it was different for the zombies; they all converged from every direction.
"Retreat!" Lin Wu shouted. He dashed between two villas, raised his pistol, and shot two zombies that were blocking his way dead, then ran like crazy toward the stone wall.
Shana, who had already reached the rope, drew her pistol to cover Lin Wu, but he yelled, "Go first." Don’t delay me climbing up the rope.
Shana holstered her gun and swiftly climbed up the rope, followed by Lin Wu who also made his way back to the road. Standing by the side of the road, they saw four drones flying in from the direction of the airport. Lin Wu said, "You go ahead."
Lin Wu stood in place quietly waiting as the four drones scanned the area with red lights. Reaching the site of the explosion, they spread out to search. One of them flew to a position right above Lin Wu’s head, but did not cross the boundary of the road or the town, nor did its red light.
