Chapter 2 Looting Supplies
After closing her own game panel, Jiang Baiyue saw the base control panel pop up in front of her.
The five functional sections remain the same: base attributes, resident management, base construction, warehouse, and base rankings.
Jiang Baiyue checked the base's attributes to see if there were any differences, and found that the conditions for upgrading to a level 1 base had not changed.
Base Name: White Moon Base

】
The other function pages and personal game panel remain unchanged.
In addition to the small print at the top of the base construction page: "The base will not be attacked by any creatures for the first 7 days. After 7 days, the protection will end and the base will be attacked by any creatures at any time. Please prepare in advance."
Jiang Baiyue breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more confident about her survival. She gripped her axe tightly and went out to start scavenging for supplies.
The withered tree fence of this level 0 base makes people feel unsafe.
As soon as she stepped out of the low wooden fence, the zombies outside seemed to be drawn by the smell of human flesh and ran towards Jiang Baiyue again.
This time she was prepared; she turned sideways, raised the axe, and chopped down at the zombie's neck.
It dealt -29 damage!
Zombie (Lv0: 21/50)
The zombie's health bar dropped by more than half, and its neck was only supported by a little bit of skin and flesh, allowing its head to hang in front of its body. Yet, it could still move.
Heh...heh...
Jiang Baiyue swung her axe again, and the zombie died completely. The body fell to the ground and split into pieces as if it had exploded, and soon the pieces of flesh disappeared again.
One coin and two white bones were left on the ground.
Level 0 zombie monsters always drop these two items, with a small chance of dropping weapons, energy crystals, and alien energy cores.
Jiang Baiyue ignored them for the time being, and dealt with the other three zombies around her before picking up the dropped items one by one.
Jiang Baiyue could put anything into or take out of the game backpack by silently reciting the command. She silently recited the command to bring up the game panel and saw that the coins and white bones were indeed neatly placed in the game backpack slots.
She checked her attributes and found that killing one zombie gave her one evolution point, which was lower than before.
She needs to kill 100 zombies to level up.
Jiang Baiyue turned off the control panel and randomly chose a direction to begin exploring.
The buildings along the way all looked weathered and overgrown with weeds. Occasionally, you could see blackened and smelly rotting flesh on the ground. The square was surrounded by residential buildings and commercial streets.
The tallest residential buildings are no more than 6 stories, and the tallest shops are only 2 stories.
Some shops have sandbags and wire mesh piled up outside as protective walls, and there are occasional dark marks on the sandbags, building walls, etc.
Jiang Baiyue turned her head unintentionally and noticed a light flashing on a fruit stall across the street. She looked around but didn't see any zombies before running over.
[Fruit Stand 1 - Loot Available]
[Fruit Stand 2 - Loot Available]
Jiang Baiyue reached out and touched it.
[Congratulations to the player who casually looted and obtained 6 apples and 10 bananas.]
Just like in a game, a flashing light means there are supplies to loot.
She raised the axe to shield herself and quickly opened the door of the fruit shop.
A hideous zombie immediately sprang out, and after she swiftly killed it, she went inside.
This appears to be the room where the shop owner lives. There are two shelves filled with fruit, but the fruit is rotten and emits an unpleasant smell.
You can loot the wooden bed, bedside table, storage boxes, and wardrobe in this room.
She also received 50 pieces of wood, 10 nails, 2 pillows, 6 pieces of toothpaste, 4 toothbrushes, 4 porcelain bowls, and 2 gray sports hoodie sets.
...
"Ah! There are monsters here too!"
"You, you stop, stop holding me! I really can't run anymore!"
Guan Qingqing felt like she was about to choke. She was a frail and sickly person to begin with, and she barely passed the physical fitness test in college. She even hired someone to run for her.
"Don't say such discouraging things! We grew up together, I would never abandon you!"
Lin Muzi gritted her teeth and ran for her life, gripping Guan Qingqing's hand even tighter.
The two had only planned to go out for the weekend and had arranged for a photographer to take some outdoor photos, but unexpectedly, the photographer suddenly disappeared into thin air while the photoshoot was underway.
The two were stunned and then they disappeared and ended up in an unfamiliar city.
The dilapidated building, resembling one that had survived a war, alarmed the two. They finally mustered the courage to push open the door of the jewelry store and search for a way out.
As a result, he accidentally kicked an aluminum can, and the loud noise attracted a zombie hiding behind a piece of scrap wood.
They had never seen anything so terrifying before. They screamed and ran away, only to find zombies everywhere, attracting more and more of them.
They dared not scream again, and it was too late; a large number of zombies had already gathered behind them.
Guan Qingqing was covered in sweat and struggled to wipe the sweat from her eyes with her sleeve.
She forced herself to calm down and observed the zombies.
"Mu Zi, these zombies aren't actually that fast. You should be able to fight them. I'll just stay hidden and I'll be fine."
Lin Muzi hesitated and turned back: "Don't lie to me and let go, or I won't live either if you die."
Guan Qingqing's lips twitched; she was both happy that her friend had stayed by her side, and worried that her friend was being too stubborn.
"Don't worry, we still need to find our parents. So many people have disappeared, maybe they're in the same situation as us?"
Lin Muzi looked into her best friend's eyes and realized she was serious, so she immediately made a decision: "Okay, let's see if there are any weapons around."
Lin Muzi let go, not dragging her best friend along; having worked out regularly, she ran very fast.
She saw a metal fork standing in front of the barbershop, grabbed the fork, and immediately turned around and ran back.
At this moment, a zombie was almost catching up with Guan Qingqing.
Guan Qingqing's face was filled with despair. The stench of blood was getting closer from behind. If it weren't for not breaking her promise and the lingering feelings in her heart, she would have given up.
Lin Muzi yelled, took a step and jumped up, the steel fork accurately piercing the zombie's head. With a pull, the dark green liquid and gray brain matter were brought out.
The zombie wasn't dead; it was still roaring as it approached Lin Muzi.
"Look at the top of its head!"
Guan Qingqing noticed that the zombies had health bars that only appear in games and a -15 damage value floating above their heads.
Lin Muzi gritted her teeth, gripped the steel fork with both hands, and retreated while hitting the zombie's neck and head.
While her best friend was distracting the zombies, Guan Qingqing frantically searched everywhere, hoping to find a weapon.
"Catch!"
Jiang Baiyue was scavenging for mechanical parts at the auto repair shop in front when she suddenly heard the roars of zombies coming from this side. She was thinking of observing the situation and then avoiding it.
Unexpectedly, seeing the two girls sticking together and fighting bravely against the zombies, he couldn't help but throw Guan Qingqing a wooden stick that had been dropped by the zombies.
Aside from weapons scavenged, crafted and sold at the base's weapon shop, dropped by monsters, and purchased from wandering merchants—that is, weapons recognized by the game—these street-side mops, iron pipes, and the like cannot damage zombies.
It can only deal damage based on the player's own available damage value.
Guan Qingqing only dealt -1 damage with her shovel when a girl suddenly threw a wooden stick at her. Without thinking much, she picked up the stick and smashed it at a zombie that was about to rush behind Lin Muzi.
She was surprised to find that she had dealt -7 damage.
Guan Qingqing was very perceptive. Although the crisis almost made her brain stop working, she subconsciously handed the weapon to Lin Muzi.
Lin Muzi trusted her best friend. Although she felt that the steel fork was definitely more powerful than the wooden stick, she subconsciously took the wooden stick and quickly struck the zombie again.
This time, she smashed half of the zombie's head with a wooden stick, dealing 21 points of damage. She only needed 3 hits to kill a zombie.
