Chapter 3 The First Night of Survival
Jiang Baiyue did not leave. She noticed that one of the zombies had some words on its head.
[Zombie - Anomaly (Space)]
She quickly circled around to the back and swung her iron axe at the abnormal zombie.
Hehe—!
With two more axe blows, the zombie died and disappeared, and a familiar red crystal fell down. Jiang Baiyue picked it up with delight and put it into her game inventory.
To avoid arousing suspicion from the two men, she pretended to be kind and helped deal with the zombies.
After the three of them worked together, all the zombies on the street were eliminated.
Guan Qingqing collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, completely exhausted.
Lin Muzi had only a light sheen of sweat on her forehead. She thanked Jiang Baiyue gratefully, saying, "Thank you, sister. If it weren't for your help, we would definitely be in grave danger."
"It's okay, all the stuff I hit is mine."
Jiang Baiyue casually agreed, and of course, the spoils of war that she fought would belong to her.
"It's terrifying. We were suddenly transported to this place, and we have no cell phone signal, so we can't send any messages."
"Yes, I was transported directly to a jewelry store. The words on the posters didn't sound like any language we knew. I suspect we're no longer in our original world."
Jiang Baiyue nodded: "Yes, this is the game world. You should have heard the mechanical voice broadcasting, right?"
Guan Qingqing and the other person nodded, then fell silent, contemplating the unknown future.
Jiang Baiyue didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
The time and temperature of the day will be displayed at the top of the chat area on the game panel.
She just glanced at it and found it was already 5:15 PM.
Her personal game panel was only visible to herself, and she didn't hide it from the two people when she looked at it.
After taking a few steps, she reminded him, "It's getting dark, let's find a place to hide."
I was going to talk about the location of the base, but she hasn't set up the resident management section yet.
Before it got completely dark, Jiang Baiyue ran back to the base, searching through the trash cans and flower beds along the way.
As she closed the wooden gate, she heard a soft sigh, or perhaps the cries of a woman or child for help.
She ignored it; it was a night monster disguising itself to lure the player out.
The solar streetlights lit up the instant the sky darkened, their light enveloping the entire base area.
The base is not large, only about 8-10 square kilometers in radius. After the wooden houses and warehouses take up part of the area, there is not much open space left.
Sitting on the threshold of the wooden house, Jiang Baiyue took out a bunch of bananas and an apple. Her hunger level had reached 70 and her stamina level had dropped to 48. If she didn't eat something soon, she would faint from hunger.
A player's hunger, stress, and stamina levels are interconnected; values that are too high or too low will have negative effects, i.e., negative status effects.
Low hunger will accelerate the depletion of stamina; low stamina will accelerate the increase of hunger; and stress is related to the player's psychology. When hunger and stamina are at extreme levels, stress will increase.
When the stress level exceeds 50, a person's state will be affected to some extent. When it exceeds 90 and reaches 100, it may lead to irrational behavior or suicide.
Jiang Baiyue took a bite of the apple, the sweet juice hitting her taste buds, making her cheeks ache, and her stomach rumbled.
She opened the chat area to see what other people were doing.
Day 1 of survival, 18:05:43 at night, temperature 19°C～20°C, Zone 301, number of survivors 99901/100000
99 people have died today alone?
Jiang Baiyue frowned as she looked at the messages sent by other players in the same section.
"Rainy days without umbrellas: Looking for someone! Someone surnamed Lin, send me a photo, someone I know, I can offer supplies as payment."
"153: They might not even be in the same partition. With so many people, it's impossible to see all the messages."
"Ball No. 7: This is really scary. What kind of game is this that can turn so many people into unfamiliar places in an instant?"
"No work, no work: I just played this game a few days ago and even gave it a bad review. Who knew I'd be so hooked on it! Give me another chance, and I'll definitely give it a five-star rating."
"Eat smaller, more frequent meals to lose weight: I've never even played this game, so it's not the reason I gave a low score."
"Not going to work: Sigh, I just need an outlet for my frustration. My advice is, this game is incredibly stingy. Take advantage of the three-day double resource bonus for new players and everyone should try their best to collect as many resources as possible."
"Vast land, scarce resources: you can tell from the word 'hunger.' I'm pretty lucky; I was teleported to a supermarket where I have enough supplies for now. Now that you mention it, I'll look for more tomorrow."
"Not-So-Clumsy but Not-So-Clumsy: Ahhh! Horrible! Zombies are banging on the door outside. Image.jpg"
Jiang Baiyue clicked on the picture, but it was too dark, and she could only vaguely see a rusty iron gate.
The iron gate should hold out tonight, but not the second night.
"Not working, not working: @Noob, you didn't find a good spot. This game has safe bases. You should try to find a safe base or a zombie hunter's camp."
"The sea is immeasurable: Ahhh, it's glowing, and surrounded by many burning iron barrels—is that a camp?"
"No work, no work: Yes, hurry up and run inside. There are nocturnal monsters at night, and without light or torches, the player's stress level will increase. If the stress level is above 90, you will lose control and commit suicide."
"30 years of being single and my hand speed is terrifying."
"fofo: @NotGoingToWorkNotGoingToWork, how did you find the supplies? I went to several stores and didn't see any. I even saw a fruit store, but all the fruit was rotten."
Jiang Baiyue rolled her eyes. Couldn't the other players see any glittering spots to loot?
That's because of her talent; at that moment, she felt how powerful her talent was.
Looting resources is much easier compared to other players.
"The sea is immeasurable: you can search everywhere, and even if some things look covered in a layer of dust, you can find usable supplies by digging around."
"Expert on Big Talk: Can you believe it? I was originally planning to go to the public restroom, but I accidentally picked up two bottles of mineral water."
"Love is a light: Can you drink it?? I did see the outhouse, it smelled a bit, so I didn't dare go in."
"Expert: It's drinkable, I drank it because I was thirsty, and nothing happened. The item description also says it's clean water."
...
With all the values returning to normal, Jiang Baiyue closed the game panel and took out the alien energy core, which should be the alien energy core of spatial ability.
A mechanical sound rang out at the opportune moment.
[Should players who are just lying around using alien energy cores to awaken their abilities?]
Without hesitation, she was determined to awaken.
She threw a fireball during the day, which consumed 10 points of source energy. She hopes to get a superpower that doesn't consume too much energy, otherwise 50 points of source energy won't be enough to launch a few fireballs.
Upon checking her attributes again, she discovered she had gained a teleportation ability.

Jiang Baiyue clicked on the word "teleport" to view the skill's details.
[Teleportation: A spatial movement ability that allows the user to move to any point within a 3-meter radius. Each teleportation consumes 6 points of source energy and has no cooldown.]
Six points isn't a small amount, but this ability can be used to escape or to launch a surprise attack.
After pondering this ability for a while, Jiang Baiyue felt that it was quite good.
Her mood improved, and she started humming a song.
Only with greater strength can we scavenge more resources in more places. The 3-day welfare period is over, and the rainy season will come soon, making it difficult to even go out. It's best to make the base as self-sufficient as possible.
Jiang Baiyue put all the supplies she had scavenged from her backpack into the warehouse and checked her haul for the day on the warehouse panel.
