Chapter 913 - 397: Sanctuary_2
Building a bridge over the train cars is a good idea, but it lacks the necessary bridging materials, and not all carriages are of the same height; consequently, there are inconsistencies in the distance between trains.
"Keep moving forward."
Once they moved forward, problems arose, primarily with the rubber dinghy used. In water, the rubber dinghy moved quietly, but the train tracks were lined with many small stones, causing a shrill noise as the dinghy slid over them. This noise brought about the first wave of zombies.
The first zombie wave consisted of more than 20 zombies, coming from a sliding door freight train. One by one, zombies jumped down from the open carriage doors, pitter-pattering over the small stones as they ran towards Lin Wu and his team. Lin Wu immediately ordered the use of guns; he fell back while Xiao Wu and Snow Egg advanced, forming a triangular position. Xiao Wu and Snow Egg had each other’s backs, while Lin Wu was responsible for close-range shooting and guarding against surprises from the rooftops and under the carriages.
It wasn’t a big issue, but even wealth cannot withstand such depletion—it consumed over thirty bullets in that round alone. Based on the current situation, bullets are non-renewable resources. They should be reserved for survivors, not zombies.
The first solution, abandon the rubber dinghy, which meant not only abandoning some survival gear but also discarding the food gathered along the way. In the game, carrying a backpack doesn’t hinder movement, but in Day After Tomorrow City, a backpack significantly impacts combat effectiveness and mobility.
Even if they could transfer all the supplies to the backpacks, they had to consider capacity and weight. Most critically, the squad had an 80 kg generator, a crucial supply that absolutely couldn’t be discarded. If the squad couldn’t transfer supplies via the rubber dinghy, what about the rest of the group’s supplies?
Make several trips? Lin Wu suggested the idea of splitting it up, and Xiao Wu and Snow Egg found it feasible. Thus, the three of them got to work, packed up most of the supplies, and hid the rubber dinghy and remaining items inside the sliding door carriage. Without the cumbersome dinghy, the trio didn’t circle around; they went straight by climbing the rooftops.
