Chapter 26 Thunder
Jiang Baiyue added her friend who didn't want to study and sent her 2 radishes, 5 berries and 1 eggplant.
They simply took away my book without saying anything.
Who can blame her for being a fishing rod collector? Most of the supplies she collects are fishing rods, and she's already become a fishing rod tycoon.
Fishing rods come in all shapes and sizes, and with so many different kinds, they take up a lot of space in your backpack. It would be nice to be able to exchange them for some food.
You can also get on good terms with a big shot.
Jiang Baiyue picked up her fishing rod and went to a nearby lake to start fishing. She was quite lucky, and a fish took the bait after only a few minutes.
After pulling the fish ashore, the two mercenaries seized the opportunity to kill it with wooden axes.
After the fish died, a complete fish skeleton and a fish skin were left on the ground.
Jiang Baiyue glanced at her backpack. Luckily, she had swapped out the eggplants and berries to free up two backpack slots, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to fit them all.
She packed up her things and continued fishing. It seemed that the crucian carp would take the bait as soon as it was caught, and she got another batch of fish bones and fish meat.
She found that not wanting to study meant she wanted to buy fish bait.
"I made the bait myself, and the ingredients weren't easy to find. One portion of bait costs... one coin or two berries."
I don't want to study, so I can't quite grasp the pricing. Fishing doesn't always result in a fish taking the bait, and not every fish will yield meat.
Considering she wanted to build a good relationship with the big shot, she set the price a little lower. She also had a vague idea in mind, but she needed to discuss it with her senior.
Jiang Baiyue bought five more portions of fish bait and gave the other party five coins.
After using up five portions of bait, she finally understood why the price was so reasonable. It turned out that not every fish would bite, and not every time she could reel them in.
This time she only pulled up 3 fish.
Even so, she could feel the frequent glances directed at her by those who didn't want to study.
"Wow, salted fish, you really are a fish of nature. I can only catch 10 fish a day at most, but you can catch 5 in half a day."
"I have to go back; it's a bit far."
After saying goodbye to the two, Jiang Baiyue focused on getting back to the base.
The rain suddenly intensified, the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the distant buildings became dark and gloomy without bright light.
It sent a chill down one's spine for no apparent reason.
Jiang Baiyue guessed that two days later, when the base's protection period officially ended, it would likely be the rainy season.
Coincidentally, the torrential rain disaster occurred on the 7th day of the game's playtime.
...
"Du Yuxin...you should go back. They don't know you came back to save me..."
Du Yuxin stopped in her tracks: "Hmph, I wouldn't stoop to being accomplices with those people who would even push their classmates out to feed the zombies. I'm not standing up for you."
"I'm worried that if I help kill zombies one day, I'll be betrayed."
Xu Yinuo raised her hand to shield her eyes from the rain, her eyes slightly blurry from the wetness.
It was getting dark, and the two of them still hadn't found a place to stay.
She had a flint and steel, but no wood, so she had to go to other quarantine zones to find camps or bases at night.
However, clearing out zombies or bosses blocking the way across quarantine zones is not easy at all.
They found a place and wanted to climb over the wall, but when they climbed up, they found that although there were no obstacles or electric fences on the wall, there was an invisible barrier blocking them.
And next to the wall was a red barrier that meant certain death if you went in...
"If it really doesn't work, I'll just tough it out. I still have a box of antidepressants; I should be fine after one night."
Du Yuxin spoke firmly, but she had no idea what was going on in her heart.
After all, the first three days were special, and they weren't sure if their stress levels would rise rapidly if they spent the night outside the camp.
No one in the chat area has discussed this information... but dozens or even hundreds of people die every night.
"Stay close, you still have my supplies in your backpack!"
Xu Yinuo hummed in agreement and searched around with a serious expression.
"There's a figure running past, Du Yuxin. Let's follow her, maybe we can find the base!"
Xu Yinuo was so surprised she almost cried out. She quickly took a few steps and grabbed Du Yuxin, who was about to enter a tavern to search.
Du Yuxin realized what was happening, grabbed Xu Yinuo's hand, and sped up to chase after them.
As the figure was about to disappear at the crossroads, Xu Yinuo couldn't help but shout.
"Hello--!"
Is anyone there?
Jiang Baiyue paused upon hearing the sound, turned around and looked back, and saw two figures running towards her in the distance.
She drew her weapon warily and did not wait for the two men.
Who knows if it's a trap? It's getting dark, getting back to base is the top priority.
Du Yuxin kept looking at the people, and she realized that there were three of them, two of whom were dressed in black and were particularly tall. She slowed down.
We don't even know if the other party is good or bad; we shouldn't be so hasty.
Noticing that Du Yuxin was slowing down, Xu Yinuo said in confusion, "Hurry up, don't lose her."
Du Yuxin squeezed Xu Yinuo's hand: "What if he's a bad guy? The guy on the other side looks tall and strong, much stronger than us."
Xu Yinuo was panting and slowed her pace.
Suddenly, thunder roared in the sky, and silver lightning struck down, causing the ground to tremble.
The two couldn't help but shrug in fright.
In the distance came the roars of zombies at varying pitches, as well as the angry roars of some kind of wild beast. The birds in the forest were startled and fluttered their wings, scattering into the air.
Without further hesitation, Du Yuxin immediately pulled Xu Yinuo and chased after the direction the three of them had just left.
Tonight, it all depends on their luck.
...
"Why is it raining again?!"
"Damn it, I thought it wouldn't rain today, so I left an empty backpack slot for supplies and didn't bring a straw hat."
"Excuse me, excuse me, I'm feeling the effects of a cold, ouch—I need to take a shower right away."
"Ah! I only have one set of clothes. If it gets wet, I'll have to spend some money to change into a new set."
"Sigh, there's been no sign of rain at all... It takes up a backpack slot every day for nothing."
"This is... a base?"
Chen Sijie jumped up excitedly, even though the rain had soaked their clothes and they felt very cold.
The people who escaped the pursuers thought they would have to spend the night outside the camp, facing unknown dangers or the mental pressure from the nocturnal monsters. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better—they discovered a space station and found a base!
It's still a base that's developing very well!
The two finally felt at ease, smiled at each other, and no longer regretted taking the carrots from the group because of hunger.
They wouldn't have run away if they hadn't been so hungry that they risked entering the group's resource area to pull carrots.
How could they have ended up at the White Moon Base if they hadn't tried to escape?
[Does the player like carrots/dislike passion fruit? Should they pay 3 coins to become a temporary resident of the White Moon Base and stay for 1 day?]
"yes."
The two voices spoke in unison, and their voices were loud.
The residents who had paid their move-in fees in the early hours of the morning turned around in surprise to look at the two of them, wondering if there were new people here again.
Could it be that some boss monster in the passage has been cleared out? These two look so frail, how come they're so strong?
Ignoring the strange looks from those around them, the two sisters looked on in surprise at the various buildings in the base.
The two of them checked the chat area every day to learn about the game, and they were both shocked. There were not only many buildings, but also five wooden houses.
The players at White Moon Base are so strong; it's only been 5 days, and they've already built 5 wooden houses.
