Chapter 115 Mutant Rats
After completing the transaction, Ning Xuan took out the gold she had just acquired, touching and examining it here and there. She wore several bracelets on each wrist, all of them quite large in size, but they looked incredibly beautiful on her hands.
Ning Xuan's current body is only 19 years old, but she had already awakened her bloodline before transmigrating and had reached the age where she liked gold and pink...
Unfortunately, people here in the 1970s still can't wear gold or any kind of jewelry; they value simplicity.
She indulged in wearing gold bracelets and necklaces to her heart's content before putting the gold back into her storage ring.
She had originally wanted to celebrate the system upgrade, but although Lu Yan hadn't explicitly said so, she had received a reminder from him that they had indeed gotten a bit cocky.
Fortunately, it was the team leader who came today; he's a reliable person. If it had been someone else, even though they could have explained, they would probably have been targeted again, and they would have had to be very careful in everything they did, which would have been troublesome.
So we should pay attention to these aspects in the future. It's fine to eat meat, but we shouldn't eat such a lavish meal with several main dishes so often.
Most importantly, even if you're only going out for a short while, you should clear the dishes away first. Today, the dishes were simply left on the table, leaving no chance to salvage them.
Since that's the case, she'll celebrate secretly this time.
Take out a small table on the bed, put out milk tea, small cakes, and snacks, then take out the tablet, put on headphones, and use the soft cushions as a sofa. Enjoy delicious food while watching TV series. It's so relaxing!
Every time this happens, Ning Xuan feels like she has never traveled through time and is still in the modern world. But when she stops watching the show and is about to rest, she sees the simple mud walls around her and realizes that she has traveled through time, and has been in time for quite a long time. Sigh!
Fortunately, she was blessed with such a powerful advantage that she not only had no shortage of food and clothing, but could also cultivate. She was quite content with all of this.
After a brief period of intermittent sadness, the optimistic Ning Xuan reverted to her usual self, deciding not to cultivate today and to get a good night's sleep.
While Ning Xuan was fast asleep, Han Dongling, wearing night vision goggles she had traded from Ning Xuan, struggled to paddle across the water.
After nearly six hours of careful paddling, the speedboat finally reached the shore safely.
Even with the utmost care, bumps and knocks are inevitable along the way. Fortunately, the inflatable boat Lin Yuhan bought is of high quality, and it only suffered minor scratches on the surface without leaking air.
She pulled the inflatable boat ashore and saw that the shore was quiet. She still wore night vision goggles and dared not turn on the lights, afraid that the light would attract other things or people.
This was the first time Han Dongling, who had always participated in group activities since the apocalypse, had spent the night alone outside, and she felt a little uneasy.
If the cave hadn't been about to flood, she would have felt safer staying there; there were more potential dangers once she came ashore.
She squatted on the shore, looking around. The water was calm for the time being, as she had just come up from there. But she stared for a while and looked back. The shore also looked calm, with no light and no unusual sounds.
The place she was in was still quite open and not suitable for spending the night. After observing for a while, she decided to continue walking towards the land.
So she deflated the inflatable boat and then put it away.
He put away the paddle, then continued to hold the stun gun in one hand and a pig-slaughtering knife in the other.
Lin Yuhan considered the butcher knife as a weapon, so she went back to the supermarket and traded it for one.
Although it's called a pig-slaughtering knife, Lin Yuhan and her supermarket staff actually use it to cut pork.
Holding her weapon, Han Dongling finally felt a bit safer. Although the protective suit was a bit bulky, she didn't plan to take it off. She crouched down and moved forward cautiously.
Half an hour later, Han Dongling successfully found a place where she could barely rest. It was a pile of several large stones, like a modern rockery, with an open space of about 2 square meters, which just happened to form a small shelter from the wind.
Han Dongling circled around the large rocks a few times, confirming that there were no ambushes and that the view was decent, so she decided to rest there for the time being.
Of course, she wasn't afraid to sleep. She sat on the ground, leaned against a rock, and closed her eyes to rest. She had been on edge while rowing on the water, and now she could finally relax a little.
However, Han Dongling was too tired. She wanted to rest, but she fell asleep unexpectedly. When she heard a strange sound, she suddenly opened her eyes and couldn't help but feel scared for her carelessness. At the same time, she saw clearly the source of the sound: a mutated rat!
These rats carry many germs; a single bite can cause infection, and even if you don't turn into a zombie, you'll lose half your life.
Without hesitation, Han Dongling swung the stun gun she had been holding tightly forward. Fortunately, the mutated rat had grown to the size of a small pig after the mutation, but its speed had slowed down considerably.
Their evolutionary direction is towards teeth, which have become very sharp and can easily crush metal; otherwise, if they were still at the same speed as before, Han Dongling would probably have been bitten by rats by now.
The mutant rat's fur was thick, so the stun gun couldn't reach its body. Han Dongling could only try to knock the rat unconscious with all her might, but the rat's skin was too thick, and she only managed to shake it slightly.
Han Dongling could only keep smashing it, and then seized an opportunity to throw the butcher knife hard at the rat's face, finally drawing blood from the big rat.
The mutated rats are slow, but Han Dongling didn't run away because the mutated rats are very strange. When they find their prey, they will use their own unique way to send messages to nearby rats. If she doesn't kill the rat, even though it is slow, she can remember the scent of the prey and chase it to the ends of the earth, while also sending messages to her fellow rats along the way.
Therefore, you must kill any mutated rats you encounter, otherwise you will encounter an endless stream of rats.
After dealing with the rats, Han Dongling picked up the pig-slaughtering knife. Not wanting to wash the blood off with water, she rubbed it on the ground to remove the bloodstains with dirt. Then she set off again.
She still doesn't know where she was swept away by the water, or whether there's a survival base nearby. She plans to figure out what area this is first. As for whether she should join a new base or go it alone, she hasn't decided yet.
Although she now has a trading system, it is still an external force. She doesn't have any special abilities or strength, so she wouldn't be able to deal with any large mutated animals or zombie hordes she might encounter.
"If only I could awaken some superpowers, or become stronger," Han Dongling thought.
