Chapter 215 - 143 The Way Out
Chapter 215: Chapter 143 The Way OutToday, Lin Wu had a restful sleep. Because of the unbearable outdoor temperature, Lin Wu and Shana headed to the library to read books together. As he read, Lin Wu discovered he had suffered frostbite again, an obvious sign that the temperature had dropped further. Hence, Lin Wu lit a campfire and added charcoal to it. They each borrowed a book and read alongside the fire, lacking chairs, they had to stand while reading.
Shana, who was more particular about the quality of life, took a knife and went out to Birch Park nearby to chop down a birch tree. She then cut it into two sections to make two makeshift stools. Meanwhile, Lin Wu fetched an aluminum pot from the warehouse, emulating the practice at Waste City’s Starlight Base, and hung the pot over the campfire. He initially intended to boil water for tea, but after discussing with Shana, she suggested having a hot pot meal. Not getting fat from eating in the game was a blessing, one not to be wasted.
Lin Wu and Shana
While lost in thought, Lin Wu returned with a large bag of items, and they headed back to the supermarket base. Upon reaching the supermarket base and heating up water, Shana enjoyed a cup of hot tea and shared her confusion.
Lin Wu replied, "Don’t force it, let it come naturally."
Shana: "I don’t want to be a burden."
Lin Wu said, "Look at my skills and attributes. The strongest is Stealth, a skill I obtained from killing countless zombies silently. The drone corresponds to Life Skills. Your sewing is unique, maybe... you might develop something like Iron Shirt, which is body armor. And about the Swallowtail Darts..."
"Don’t even mention the Swallowtail Darts. Every time I kill a zombie, I have to go over and pull out a dart," Shana murmured thoughtfully. "However, there was something that happened before when I was down to my last five darts. I was facing seven zombies, and after I threw all the darts, I went to collect them. A zombie approached from the side, so I just picked up a rock from the ground and threw it, knocking the zombie down."
Shana said, "After that incident, I conducted an experiment. I discovered that my accuracy in throwing small stones had greatly improved, obviously benefiting from the system’s enhancement. The only accuracy enhancement from my skills listed in the system was from the Swallowtail Dart skill."
Lin Wu asked, "Does the accuracy modifier in Swallowtail Dart not only apply to the darts but to all thrown objects?"
Shana shrugged her shoulders, "Perhaps."
Lin Wu suggested, "Try using Crossbow Arrows." There were heaps of Crossbow Arrows in the warehouse.
Shana went to the warehouse and while fetching asked, "Why Crossbow Arrows?"
Lin Wu explained, "Stone is just an item, not a System Item, it’s considered miscellaneous. Crossbow Arrows are System Items, they inherently possess killing power."
Shana retrieved Crossbow Arrows and they went outside. They easily found a lone zombie. Shana, standing ten meters away, threw a Crossbow Arrow. As soon as the arrow left her hand, it felt weak and limp in flight, yet it still soared firmly before finally dropping and piercing into the zombie’s lower leg.
