"B-Boss, I'm out of bullets!"
"You still had a magazine left, didn't you?!"
"I-I-I used it all up!"
"%￥@#!"
With the raiders closing in, Quit Smoking, low on ammo, didn't dare keep fighting. He dragged along Lost Newbie, that deadweight, while firing and retreating.
Fortunately, they didn't seem to be the only ones who had run into a patrol.
As they fled south, dense gunfire also erupted from a residential area two streets away.
Silently praying for his teammates, Quit Smoking took advantage of the reinforcements being distracted by the gunfire. He grabbed Lost Bro beside him and turned to run.
After weaving through countless turns, they finally shook off their pursuers.
They dashed across a street clogged with vehicle wreckage and slipped into the ruins by the roadside.
Judging from the scattered stretcher wreckage and all sorts of strange old equipment around them, this place had probably once been a hospital.
As for what department it had been, they had no idea.
Quit Smoking dropped onto the floor by the wall and let out a long breath. He removed the assault rifle magazine and checked it. Including the round in the chamber, he had only four bullets left.
His newly relaxed mood immediately sank to rock bottom.
"This is fucking complete ammunition starvation..."
Lost Newbie asked between gasps.
"Boss... where are we now?"
Quit Smoking raised his VM and checked the map.
"According to the pre-war map, this should be Xizhou City Fourth Hospital. Next to it are Fourth New District Elementary School and the Water Resources Bureau..."
Lost Newbie froze.
"Fourth New District?! Wait, weren't we running south?"
Quit Smoking looked helpless.
"Don't ask me. This is my first time in this shithole too."
Who had time to worry about directions while running for their lives? Quit Smoking
