Returning

Waldo, who had been away for a day, returned home. Alanna and Helen heard the sound of keys turning and came out to greet him.

"Oh, waiting at the door, huh?" Waldo joked as he took off his shoes and put on slippers, seeing the two women standing at the entrance.

Seeing Waldo return unharmed, Alanna and Helen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Waldo had insisted on not letting them accompany him to the old town area, deeming it too dangerous. He didn't want them to worry while staying at home.

Alanna scolded him, "We were so worried about you!"

Helen carefully examined Waldo's body with her eyes, making sure there were no injuries.

"It seems like you're unharmed. We were just being overly worried. What a waste," Helen said.

Waldo chuckled and walked into the living room with the two women.

"Don't say that. It was dangerous this time. I almost lost my life. It's a good thing I didn't bring you along, or I would definitely regret it," Waldo said.

The fact was that the old town area was indeed extremely dangerous. Only Waldo, with his "Invisibility" skill and the enhanced battle suit, could survive under the watchful eyes of the police station, Saturn, and the Drug Lord's teams.

Even if Alanna and Helen wore bulletproof vests and helmets, they wouldn't have been able to withstand the intense firepower of the helicopter.

Now, as Waldo recalled the battles in the old town area, he felt extremely fortunate. Only he knew that if it weren't for the timely cooldown of his "Invisibility" skill and the police helicopter inexplicably descending in altitude, giving him an opportunity, he would have had no way to escape the encirclement of the large teams.

However, he realized that luck could only take him so far.

Waldo couldn't afford to be reckless anymore.

This encounter with the police station made him have a clear understanding of his current abilities.

In terms of individual strength, Waldo was formidable. With the "Invisibility" skill, he could even become an excellent assassin.

But when faced with a large number of enemies, he couldn't engage in prolonged combat.

He had turned an assassin into a warrior!

On his way back, Waldo had also reflected on his role and decided to actively leverage his advantages and develop in that direction.

Imagine a stealthy assassin in a battle suit lurking in the enemy team leader's bedroom. Just as the leader was about to undress and spend the night with a woman, suddenly, Waldo would decloak and strike the leader's waist with a few fatal blows.

That would be truly advantageous!

After returning home, Waldo reassured Alanna and Helen, understanding that their emotions had been strained while waiting at home without any news.

He also knew that the situation had been changing rapidly, and the equipment of the large teams completely surpassed Alanna and Helen.

Waldo could only do his best to collect higher-level resources and provide upgrades for Alanna and Helen.

He took out a retired UMP9 submachine gun and handed it to Alanna and Helen.

Compared to the UMP9, Waldo preferred the AK47 for its greater firepower.

Changing the UMP9 submachine gun would also enhance the strength of his teammates.

The three of them had returned to the living room and sat on the couch.

Alanna and Helen looked at the UMP9 submachine gun that Waldo placed on the coffee table, and they exchanged glances.

Unexpectedly, they both insisted on giving way to each other.

Alanna placed the UMP9 submachine gun in Helen's arms and said, "Helen, you take this submachine gun."

Helen, however, didn't accept it and instead pushed it back into Alanna's hands.

"Alanna, I can't take it! You're the medic of our team and need strong firepower to protect yourself," Helen said.

Alanna smiled and shook her head, pressing the submachine gun into Helen's hands and patting her hand.

"Helen, you have more shooting and combat experience than me. This submachine gun will be more effective in your hands! Besides, we're always together, so can't you protect me?" Alanna said.

Helen wanted to argue, but Waldo interrupted, "Alright, enough of this back and forth. Helen, you take it."

Alanna is right, you have more combat experience.

If you feel guilty about it, next time when we have better combat resources, you can let Alanna have them first.

Alanna also nodded with a smile.

"Yes, Helen, we're good sisters, after all."

Helen pursed her lips and finally nodded, promising, "Alanna, I will protect you well! Next time, if there are better combat resources, you must not let me have them anymore!"

Alanna laughed and said, "I know, just don't think too much about it."

Then, Alanna looked at Waldo.

"By the way, Waldo, did you gain anything from your trip to the old town area?"

Waldo nodded and took out the platinum-level supply box, placing it in front of Alanna and Helen.

He said with a lingering fear, "During my trip to the old town area, the police station, Saturn, and the Drug Lord's teams were all aiming to claim this big guy for themselves. Because of this, I was chased by the police helicopter and almost lost my life in the old town area."

"But, good fortune favors me, and I managed to return unharmed. Although I'm downplaying it, Alanna and Helen could vividly imagine the danger he had faced just from a few simple sentences.

They never expected that Waldo would have a direct confrontation with three major teams this time.

Alanna looked heartbroken.

"Why do you take such risks? What if something goes wrong?"

Waldo held Alanna's hand.

"Silly, I've returned safely, haven't I?"

"No risk, no reward. Some things just have to be done," he said.

Helen, looking at the platinum-level supply box, asked curiously, "Waldo, how did you manage to get it from under their noses?"

Waldo chuckled and explained, "The supply box was stored in a warehouse. At the time, I was in stealth mode, and Sheriff and Leland were outside the warehouse in a standoff. I took the opportunity to sneak behind the warehouse and take it."

Helen burst into laughter, finding it nonsensical. "That's quite a silly maneuver. How did they discover you then?"

Waldo sighed, feeling helpless.

"I was actually about to leave the old town area. It was just on my way out that my 'Invisibility' skill went into cooldown. As luck would have it, I was blocked by zombies and made some noise, catching the attention of the police helicopter during its patrol."

"In the end, I had to fight my way out."

"It's good that you're okay," Helen comforted him.

"But now that your identity is exposed, I'm afraid the police won't let it go easily."

Waldo was nonchalant, showing no concern.

"Let them come then!"

"As long as they dare to come, I won't let them leave alive!"

"Hehe, it would be fun if the platinum-level supply box contains pulse cannons or surface-to-air missiles," he said with a mischievous smile.
