Chapter 542 - 270: Nightmare Returns
Chapter 542: Chapter 270: Nightmare ReturnsPier Road and Highway 99 had so few zombies after the game entered Hardcore Mode that they were almost negligible. But scarce as they were, surprises could still happen. Lin Wu was essentially a new driver, with only 1000 kilometers of driving experience on Blue Star, so he focused intently as he drove. That’s how he managed to avoid the Exploding Carnage lying in the middle of the road, seemingly asleep. He stopped the car, got out with his pistol, walked up to the Exploding Carnage, blew its head off with a single shot, walked back, drove off.
Since the profits from the marketplace had reduced significantly, the Shadow Group had lost their motivation to work. When Lin Wu arrived at the Sawmill, the people from the Shadow Group were having breakfast, which consisted of clay pot porridge and black pepper spaghetti. Lin Wu glanced at the breakfast spread and eventually decided against partaking. By appearances, Cotton’s culinary skills weren’t inferior to Horse Soul’s.
Lin Wu sat down in the backyard meeting room, released a drone, and started
"No rush, who knows, we might be able to turn the tables?"
Unfortunately, there was no counter-kill; Nightmare’s ambush successfully eliminated the two NPCs. She approached the bodies and began looting the corpses. Lin Wu disdainfully remarked: "She doesn’t even spare the dead."
"Alright, back to serious business."
"Hold on," Lin Wu said. "She found a rolled-up piece of paper, looks like a map. She’s getting in her car, taking a side road off Highway 99, heading towards Left County Bridge."
The route was dense with zombies, and a few kilometers out, the car exploded. Nightmare had gotten out in advance and escaped from the vehicle. The explosion helped her get away cleanly. After killing a few zombies, she hid quietly. About ten minutes later, Nightmare returned to the vicinity of the car, taking out any lingering zombies with precise shots.
Lin Wu admired the gun in Nightmare’s hands; if he wasn’t mistaken, it was probably a burst-fire Silencer.
Nightmare took out a repair kit and fixed the car, then continued towards Left County Bridge.
