Chapter 820 - 367 Office Building
Lin Wu was thinking about the conversation between Maya and Shana when they reunited after travelling thousands of miles home. It mentioned something about doing some useless work. As a genius in charge of logistics, Shana had only today discovered that their firewood supply was insufficient, despite the dull two winter months.
It’s likely that three out of ten incidents are a conspiracy; the two Deputy Commanders had already discussed how to keep everyone busy. Although Shadow had maintained harmony this month, signs of trouble had begun to emerge. For example, while playing billiards with Su Shi, Lin Wu inadvertently scratched his clothes on the pool table without noticing, which displeased Su Shi. Nevertheless, he restrained himself and allowed Lin Wu a few grumbles, but deep down there was some dissatisfaction. Such incidents would not have happened in the past.
Shana sat alone by the riverbank watching the ice flow. Little Knife approached with concern, but Shana brusquely responded, "Leave me alone, thanks," making Little Knife feel extremely awkward. This also would have been unimaginable before.
Besides, Snow Egg’s time spent idle and alone had begun to increase, and Stone had lost interest in boasting. It seemed that only Maya remained unaffected.
The meeting dispersed, and work began. Lin Meng set out, Lin Wu deployed Little Fight, and Shana commanded Lin Meng to place markers through the headset while looking at Lin Wu’s computer.
Halfway through, Lin Wu asked Shana if the firewood issue was a conspiracy.
Shana was caught off guard by the question, saying, "If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have thought about it. There’s no conspiracy. I considered checking the firewood stock, but I was too lazy to do it, preferring to sit or lie down. It’s my fault."
"It’s not entirely your fault. After all, nobody else managed to estimate the consumption," Lin Wu said. "Clearing zombies isn’t bad either; it gives everyone something to do."
