Chapter 13 Space Station
There are 5 levels of resource boxes, from lowest to highest: E, D, C, B, and A. The boxes are made of 5 materials: wood, iron, copper, silver, and gold.
She unfastened the clasp, a flash of white light appeared, and Jiang Baiyue was slightly surprised after seeing what was inside.
And then the system notification appeared.
[Congratulations to player "Lying Down and Doing Nothing" for receiving 234 coins, 1 beginner healing potion recipe, 300 wood, and 6 space fragments.]
The biggest gain this time was a recipe for a blood-restoring medicine.
Jiang Baiyue took a sip of water, which washed away the nausea in her heart.
When it comes to survival, being a little selfish is nothing. In this perilous world, without healing medicine, she might be the one to die.
Moreover, being robbed of monsters halfway through the journey is something one can't help but be angry about.
Jiang Baiyue put everything into the warehouse, but she kept the boxes. She could break them down into basic materials after the workbench was upgraded. She would break them down together when she had a large number of boxes.
After finishing the remaining water, she went out again to scavenge for supplies.
When she went out again, considering the excessive consumption of source energy, Jiang Baiyue avoided zombies whenever she saw them from afar.
After walking two streets, Jiang Baiyue encountered Chunli and her five companions dealing with a body sac.
Two people fight the zombies, one person focuses on the corpse sacs, and the other two are on guard against other players watching the "fun".
Jiang Baiyue nodded to Chun Tianli as a greeting, and then continued exploring in another direction.
It's better to have a team; you don't have to worry about being robbed when fighting monsters.
As Jiang Baiyue passed a fried chicken shop, the trash cans in front of the shop suddenly lit up. She knew that the resources had been refreshed again.
[Trash can - can be looted]
She opened the lid.
[Congratulations to the player who casually looted and obtained 2 Space Fragments, 2 Food Scraps, and 6 Plastic.]
Wow, another space fragment! What a stroke of good luck!
I love the feeling of finding a treasure in the trash.
As Jiang Baiyue searched and rummaged through the mall, she pondered her development plan. Remembering that she hadn't been able to search the mall yesterday, she decided to go there and see if the group of people had left.
After all, there are so many things to loot in the mall, and you can definitely get more supplies than if you wander around on your own.
However, as they approached the mall, several body sacs were scattered at nearby intersections.
Jiang Baiyue felt heavy-hearted and had no choice but to give up.
...
"Mom, there's a chicken here! Let's catch it and roast it. I haven't had meat for two days, and I'm really craving it."
The middle-aged woman, holding a wooden stick, cautiously looked around: "It's a hen. Catch it and wait for it to lay eggs. If you feed it well, it can have eggs to eat every day."
"How do you keep it? Do you have a cage? It must be difficult to keep it..."
"You can exchange it for a weapon, or compressed biscuits, which will last longer and have a longer shelf life."
Disappointed, the girl with pigtails, who looked like a high school student, pouted and said, "Fine."
Girls with pigtails approach cautiously on tiptoe.
The hen was in a cornfield surrounded by a 1-meter-high wooden fence, while a girl with pigtails and a middle-aged woman were blocking the opening on both sides.
The hen was pecking at the insects on the ground when she suddenly saw a shadow on the ground. She looked up and saw someone, and flapped her wings to fly away.
The middle-aged woman and her daughter worked together seamlessly, seizing the opportunity to rush forward.
The hen squealed and flapped its wings, and it took the two men quite a while to finally hold it down.
The twin tails were slapped by the hen's flapping wings. Seeing how hard it struggled, the mother angrily tried to put it back in her backpack, but was warned instead.
[WARNING! Live animals must not be stored in the game inventory. Do you want to kill the hen and store it in the game inventory?]
The girl with twin tails quickly said no, killing a chicken would take up more backpack slots. Although it would be inconvenient to carry, it would save backpack slots.
“I’ll tear a strip of cloth and tie its claws together, like this…”
The middle-aged woman had just let go when a low growl sounded from behind.
"Mom, run!"
The girl with twin ponytails gripped the hen's claws tightly with one hand and threw a bomb at the vicious dog lurking behind her mother with the other.
The explosion rang out, and the two ran for their lives without hesitation.
However, the two hadn't run far when two more zombies emerged from the clothing store ahead, forcing them to make an emergency turn and run through the alleyway between the houses.
The zombies roared, attracting more zombies along the way.
She turned around with her pigtails and saw a dark mass of zombies behind her; her heart sank to the bottom.
This direction is getting further and further away from the hunter's camp. Will they still be able to get back to the hunter's camp?
"Help! Help!"
Cluck cluck—!
Jiang Baiyue was picking corn and shoveling soil in the courtyard of a house when she suddenly heard shouts, followed by crowing of chickens, chaotic footsteps, and the howls of zombies.
She immediately took out an iron axe, walked to the side of the house and looked out. In the distance, two people were running towards her on the highway.
A person was holding a pheasant that was flapping around in their hand.
Behind them was a dark mass of zombies, and Jiang Baiyue immediately turned and ran.
With so many of them, those who stay behind will either be bitten to death by zombies or run out of energy and then be bitten to death by zombies.
The girl with pigtails saw someone ahead and her eyes lit up with hope, but the person turned and ran away. She realized there weren't many people around, and despair began to creep into her heart.
"Sweetie, let's run separately."
The middle-aged woman shouted, but the twins disagreed, fearing that if they separated, it would be difficult to reunite later.
Without maps or navigation, in a strange and dangerous world, it might be difficult to meet again once separated.
She was already separated from her father, and the girl with twin tails absolutely refused to agree to it.
"Waaah, Mom, I'm scared, please don't leave me..."
The roars of the large number of zombies could be heard several meters away. Even though Jiang Baiyue dodged in the other direction the two were running, the number of zombies in this area continued to increase.
A zombie suddenly ran out of the bushes ahead. Jiang Baiyue raised her axe and killed it. She didn't even want the loot and was about to run away when she was startled by the reflection of the zombie.
Energy Crystal!
Jiang Baiyue crouched down and quickly scooped up the energy crystal and the bone coin.
[Energy crystal detected. Replenish source energy?]
Jiang Baiyue answered no, this was not the limit yet, and one energy crystal was not enough for her to last until she returned to the base.
Passing by a building that looked like a small farm, Jiang Baiyue noticed several chickens leisurely pecking at rice in their coops. She felt a little regretful that she couldn't take them with her.
She turned and ran out of the intersection, and there she saw the space station!
The space station is similar to a telephone booth, but much larger. From the outside, it can accommodate 3-4 people.
Jiang Baiyue sped up and ran over.
[Congratulations to player "Lying Down and Doing Nothing" for discovering a space station. Mark this space station with 1 space fragment?]
"mark!"
Jiang Baiyue shouted loudly, and several more zombies ran over from a distance. The space station arrived just in time.
[Marked successfully, map unlocked. Players can view it by opening the game panel.]
Please set access permissions for the space station: private or public?
Jiang Baiyue leaned against the cold metal wall and thought for a moment: "Publicly charge for its use?"
Please set your pricing criteria—?
"Two coins per person each time."
The subtitles disappeared, and a map appeared.
The map only shows icons for the space station and the White Moon Base. Jiang Baiyue clicks on the White Moon Base icon to return to the base.
A flash of white light appeared before her eyes, and the next second she was back at the base, appearing at the base entrance.
"Mom! There! That person has disappeared!"
With her twin ponytails and sharp eyes, she noticed that the pavilion was half-glass. She threw a bomb and, glancing back, accidentally saw the person inside disappear.
Moreover, there are three three-dimensional words on it: Space Station.
Anyone who has played games can probably guess its function.
The girl with twin ponytails gripped her mother's hand tightly and ran towards her with all her might.
Bang--!
The middle-aged woman didn't know why she had run into such an unsafe little pavilion. When she saw the dense horde of zombies chasing after her, she was terrified and her hands trembled as she closed the pavilion's iron gate.
[Space station detected. Would you like to spend 2 coins to travel to White Moon Base?]
Hearing the mechanical voice, the girl with twin tails felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders, realizing she hadn't made the wrong bet: "Mom, I'll give you two coins, let's go to the base."
The middle-aged woman nodded; she had also heard the instruction.
My daughter has been teaching her some game-related knowledge these past few days, and this is obviously the best way to escape the zombies' pursuit, although it only costs 2 coins.
Fearing separation, the two held hands tightly and agreed at the same time.
With a blink of an eye, they were surprised to find themselves outside a stone wall, directly opposite the main gate, where several people were walking around.
