Kingdom of Corrosion

Chapter 148 - 115: Visit_2

Chapter 148: Chapter 115: Visit_2Maya took the 41 up to the watchtower, which faced the northern road and White Birch Forest Park. The Screamer was suspended above the center of the road. Lin Wu used Stealth and planted two torches in the muddy ground, then deactivated Stealth and strode into the Screamer’s field of vision. Following that, the Screamer let out a piercing roar, but Lin Wu had already covered his ears and took off running.

Over thirty zombies converged from the surroundings, including the scattered undead wandering inside the supermarket. Lin Wu, with the Silencer in hand, climbed the watchtower and saw the dense crowd of zombies under the Screamer’s feet through the scope.

"What are you waiting for?" Lin Wu said, "Start shooting." He fired a shot, killing a zombie.

Only then did Maya snap out of it, and raising her gun, she burst the heads of seven zombies in rapid succession.

"Slow down," Lin Wu commanded, irritated, "You’ll take over luring them soon."

"Got it," retorted Juvenile Ghost. In sync with Lin Wu’s rhythm, Maya shifted to single shots.

The pair wiped out the thirty-some zombies in no time, and Maya ran into the Screamer’s range again, prompting another scream and a dash back to the watchtower. This time around, only 20 zombies appeared, but the group included a Frenzy.

The third wave consisted of only 15 zombies, and the fourth wave, just 10. From the fifth wave on, even with the Screamer screaming itself hoarse, only five zombies gathered at its feet.

"Not satisfying enough."

Lin Wu deeply agreed. With just the Silencer, it would take over an hour to kill them all. Maya’s 41 was too brutal; even trying to control its speed, it quickly cleared the zombies.

Lin Wu suggested a rotten idea, "How about we pull the zombie tide from Left County over?"

Maya still had some sense, "No, the tide has all sorts of zombies, the regular ones can’t keep up with a Frenzy."

Lin Wu frowned in thought.

Maya, trying to come up with another rotten idea, suggested, "We could hang a Screamer in each of the east, west, and south directions."

Lin Wu replied, "The east side is fine, but the west and south directions aren’t within the watchtower’s shooting range."

Maya countered, "But they are within the Rooftop Safe Zone’s shooting range."

Such a dirty trick was something Lin Wu would typically propose. Seeing Maya’s excited expression, he didn’t say anything more, packed up his gun, and said, "Let’s go find the Screamers."

Maya said, "I’ll get the rope. Wait, if we do this, our base’s Threat Value will shoot up."

Lin Wu replied, "I have a plan."

Maya asked, "What plan?"

Lin Wu said, "Once the system announces a siege, we’ll pack the materials in bags, put them in the pickup, pile the junk in the back of the pickup, and drive the pickup far away to hide."

That made sense. Maya added, "We could also take the base apart in advance, provided we find several more vehicles."

Lin Wu said, "Didn’t Nightmare mention an ambulance? With 9 storage slots, plus the pickup, we can carry 15 resource bags. If we bring the survey vehicle over, and each of us carries a resource bag, we can take at least 20 resource bags with us. Besides, we might not lose. Zombies can’t reach the rooftop."

Maya deeply agreed, "It’d be best to get another automatic rifle as well. Plus, a 10-minute warning is enough time to call for help from the main base." Because of the Sentry Card, it takes more than 10 minutes to reach the supermarket base during the day, but Bai Ban is working on the farm; a quick shout should do the trick. At night, as long as they’re fast enough, they can make it to the supermarket base. With Bai Ban and a few others and their cars, they could transport another wave of resource packs. Ready to fight or retreat, what’s there to fear from a siege? The only thing they hadn’t considered: what if they’re not at the base during a siege?

Having struck a deal, they immediately grabbed ropes, took adhesive tape, and spent the night

"Yeah." Lin Wu looked at Shana, "You should have let us know first, we would have toned it down."

"Forget it." Shana said, "I was planning to scavenge materials around your base today."

"I’ll take you to the car graveyard." Lin Wu turned back, "Everybody, feel free. Shana and I are going to strip cars."

Little Knife watched with a cold eye, "Hmph."

Lin Wu said, "Little Knife, have Sister Maya take you to the Blood Plague cement factory for a look."

Little Knife immediately perked up, "Is there Blood Plague nearby?"

"Of course."

Stone said urgently, "What the hell, you aren’t satisfied unless you kill a few, are you?"

Lin Wu turned back, "Old Man, watch your mouth or I’ll take you down myself."

Stone rolled up his sleeves, "Come on, I’m not afraid." In a low voice, "Hold me back."

"Hold me back." Lin Wu, "Come on, I’ll tell you, if Shana weren’t holding me back, I would beat the crap out of you."

Stone, "Let me go, I’ll beat him senseless today."

"Let me go, I’m gonna kill him."

"You’re lucky today."

The extras were tired out!
