Chapter 8 Plan
Knock knock!
Hearing the knock, Jiang Baiyue opened the door and saw Gu Zilin and her daughter.
"Thank you for taking care of Zilin. Here, take this. I don't know if you'll need it, but perhaps you can use it to exchange for supplies..."
In Baiyunduo's hand is a blueprint.
Jiang Baiyue took it and glanced at it; it was a blueprint for a composting machine.
"Very useful, thank you."
Bai Yunduo had already tidied up her clothes and hair. Although she didn't have the means to wash them, she looked much better than Jiang Baiyue had initially seen.
"I should be thanking you. If it weren't for you taking care of Zilin, things might have turned out differently... Oh, right, I'm giving you the room fee. You even asked her to fetch water because you were taking care of her. I can't take advantage of you."
Jiang Baiyue wanted to say that it wasn't necessary, since a blueprint for a composting machine would be very useful.
Once a composting machine is properly made, the scraps of food can be used to make fertilizer.
Proper fertilization can accelerate plant maturation, even in non-farmland areas.
Previously, due to insufficient backpack compartments, she had scavenged for food scraps but didn't take them.
Bai Yunduo didn't give Jiang Baiyue a chance to refuse. She took a capybara doll from Gu Zilin's hand, stuffed it into her hand, and then carried Gu Zilin away.
[Light-colored capybara doll]
Description: It has an aura that all zombies and monsters hate. The effect lasts for 30 minutes after being equipped. Each use increases the damage level by 10%.
Damage: 0
Damage level: 20%
Stamina consumption: 15
No wonder Gu Zilin, a little girl, dared to search for her mother everywhere at night; it turns out she had a prop.
But wait, her water carrier was taken away too?
Jiang Baiyue quickly caught up with Bai Yunduo and asked her about her next plans.
Bai Yunduo paused for a moment and said, "I want to stay here first, and then slowly think of a way to find the child's father."
She suspected that the child's father was not in the same section as them; she had been paying attention to the World Forum every day, but had never seen him.
"What will you do with the child once you've settled in? Let her help me fetch water, and you can pay her one bottle of water or three coins a day. If you think it's a good fit, let Zilin continue doing it."
Gu Zilin collected 6 bottles of water in one morning. If she were to collect water from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., she would collect 12 bottles of water a day. It would be very worthwhile to use 1 bottle of water as payment.
Jiang Baiyue can get at least 11 bottles of water a day, not to mention that she can get a few more bottles of water herself at night.
She could use the extra water to trade for materials and food. The sooner she could develop the farmland, the less she would have to rely on scavenging for food.
She didn't know how big the town was, but she was certain that District 301 had 100,000 people, and looting supplies was definitely not a long-term solution.
Jiang Baiyue's plan has always been to develop the base as soon as possible. In the past, everyone just treated the game as a game and enjoyed exploring.
But now that the game has become reality, and death is real death, she feels that she can rely on players to develop the base more quickly.
However, this is contingent on the base providing the resources the players need.
Food is something all players definitely need.
Gu Zilin vaguely understood some things. She sensed her mother's dilemma and said, "Mom, please agree. You can rest assured with me here."
Bai Yunduo knelt down, kissed her daughter's forehead, and nodded, saying, "Okay, then you should thank your sister."
Having settled the matter, Jiang Baiyue instructed Gu Zilin to continue guarding the wooden house and fetching water, while she took two bottles of water and set off to find the berry bushes.
Jiang Baiyue walked towards a park in the distance.
The park is next to a residential area and has many trees and green plants.
Hehehe!
A zombie wearing a baseball cap suddenly jumped out of a nearby trash can.
Jiang Baiyue took two steps back and swung the iron axe at the zombie's head twice in succession.
[Piglet activated, receive an extra 2 coins.]
Three silver coins lay on the ground next to two white bones, reflecting light.
Jiang Baiyue picked it up, thinking that her income had suddenly doubled. Once the base was upgraded, she would build a latrine first.
Otherwise, it's quite inconvenient to use public restrooms outside every time.
The piggy bank was given to Jiang Baiyue by Liya in the spring as a way of thanking her for saving her life.
Actually, she wanted the protective shield blueprints from Chunliya, but she was too embarrassed to ask, since she didn't have any resources to trade with.
As soon as she approached the park, Jiang Baiyue saw two berry bushes. Each bush could yield eight berries. After picking them all, she took out a shovel and started digging.
[A berry bush is available for picking. Pick it up?]
Jiang Baiyue picked them up one by one and then continued her search.
...
In an abandoned general store.
Five people squatted on the ground with serious expressions.
"We have to find a camp or a safe base."
A middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
The others, of course, also knew the seriousness of the situation, but they didn't know where they were going. The soldier was still unconscious, and someone would have to carry him out.
There is no guarantee that a campsite or safe base will be found before dark.
The fighting skills of everyone were already so-so, and now they've suddenly lost two men.
"Don't hesitate any longer. My stress level is almost over 60. If I stay here any longer tonight, one or two more people will collapse tomorrow."
"Yes, we have to give it our all."
"While we still have some time, let's hurry and find that Rose Residential Complex..."
Three out of the five people were determined, and the minority had to submit to the majority, so they all started to take action.
"Brother Dong, take this shovel. It doesn't do much damage, but it's still a weapon."
"This game is so stingy. They promised double the supplies, but I only got two shovels."
shovel
Description: A good tool for digging and transplanting plants; it can also be used to hit people, but it takes a bit of effort.
Damage value: 0.5
Damage level: 15%
Stamina consumption: 1
The damage is pitifully low. Even with his own 12 points of damage, it would take four hits to kill a single zombie.
If there are too many zombies, we won't be able to handle it.
The middle-aged man called Brother Dong, Chen Dong, took the shovel and carefully moved the shelves and tables blocking the entrance of the grocery store.
The zombies wandering at the door heard the noise and immediately walked towards the general store.
Chen Dong swung his shovel and smashed it into the zombie's head. The clanging sound of metal striking metal echoed through the empty neighborhood.
"Quickly, everyone be on guard, avoid zombies if you encounter them."
One person rushed out first to be alert to the surroundings, urging the companion carrying someone behind to move faster. The last companion rushed out and quickly ran ahead to scout the way.
The first person to come out shouted to Chen Dong to retreat and then quickly caught up with his companions.
After watching his companion run a certain distance away, Chen Dong stopped fighting the zombies, turned around, and ran away.
The reward is only one coin and a seemingly useless bone, so there's no point in continuing to fight.
The zombie was poked by an iron shovel and fell backward to the ground. It couldn't get up for a moment because its limbs were stiff. When it finally managed to get up, there was only a faint human scent left in the air.
...
"Kids, this is a game, a little game that requires you to run quietly, right?"
A woman wearing a cartoon hoodie asked the six children in front of her in a low voice.
"right……"
The chubby-cheeked children covered their mouths with their hands, imitating their art teacher by speaking in hushed tones, their eyes filled with undisguised surprise and excitement.
They thought they were playing a game, since they often played games like running or hide-and-seek in kindergarten.
The children are all quite young, between 4 and 6 years old.
The woman was a painting teacher at an extracurricular class. She taught a small group of students on weekends, but unexpectedly, she and six students were suddenly transported to an unfamiliar world by a game.
Fortunately, they were lucky and didn't encounter any zombies head-on; their current crisis is hunger.
They managed to scavenge some supplies while hiding in a barbecue restaurant, which sustained them through the night.
However, hiding in the barbecue restaurant was clearly not an option. She learned some information from the chat area, and she had just accidentally found a prop. So she made up her mind to take the children to find the camp.
Garlic Baby
Description: A rag doll that smells of garlic, even zombies will avoid it. When equipped, zombies will not harm you for 5 minutes. Cooldown time: 2 hours.
Damage: 0
Damage level: 1%
Stamina consumption: 15
After taking another look at the effect of the props, the woman looked into the innocent eyes of the children and felt a little more confident.
Only the camp can protect a few children.
