Chapter 420 - 222 Preparing for the Wedding
Chapter 420: Chapter 222 Preparing for the WeddingNightmare took out a tablet and turned it on, "Fortress has a hostile force in the epidemic zone called the Alliance. Most members of the Alliance were originally Fortress mercenaries. Somehow they got wind of the zombie virus outbreak beforehand, not only did they form the Alliance, but they also began constructing shelters. Their intimate knowledge of Fortress enables them to frequently attack Fortress facilities and personnel, and plunder their resources."
"That’s the version according to Fortress," Nightmare said. "Another version is this: One of the top executives at Fortress strongly opposed a certain biological re
If it were real, Lin Wu would certainly consider justice, at least what he perceives as justice. But it’s just a game, filled with NPCs. Their existence is solely to serve players, even lower in status than ants, who at least don’t live for humans. Discussing justice with NPCs is simply too naïve.
Therefore, Maya’s assessment of Lin Wu’s emotional thinking during the first night feast was not entirely correct. Lin Wu never integrated into the homestead; he always saw it as a game, not as life. He thought more about game mechanics. Maya, influenced more easily by the game’s background, stories, and content, is not alone in this. In contrast, people like Lin Wu are rare. One reason is the increasing realism of games; another is living in the game every day.

Maya didn’t refuse Nightmare’s request, as doing missions together was beneficial for both parties. Currently, Shadow hadn’t had direct frontal conflicts with NPC armed personnel and didn’t know their difficulty and danger, which is why Maya didn’t commit to Nightmare’s request either.
Maya was concerned about picking sides between the Alliance and Fortress; if she didn’t undertake the missions, she’d never know their real situation. Lin Wu also misunderstood Maya. Her concern about choosing sides was not because she only wanted to help the good, but rather she hoped to assist the good. Mainly because aiding a bad faction or killing NPCs from a good faction might lead to some discordant voices at the base.
Take Wai as an example; some see Wai as one of the companions, others as a living tool provided by the system. Lin Wu has always cherished Wai, and the situation has never been disadvantageous to him. Suppose Lin Wu had indeed eaten Wai when short on food, that would almost certainly lead to dissatisfaction from many in Shadow, consequently turning against Lin Wu. Even if they knew that after Wai was eaten, Big Wai would be born.
Some would be indifferent due to their good relationship with Lin Wu or a bias towards his side and would support Lin Wu. The topic of Wai would then become the main subject of dispute at the base. Up to this point, apart from Shana’s first death after joining the base, Shadow had not encountered any sharp conflicts.
