Xiao Jin's gaze swept across the paper and landed on the fireplace in the kitchen.
So that's its function!
Looking at the next few points, killing is not allowed inside the safe house, and violators will be immediately eliminated. This was somewhat unexpected for Xiao Jin, as this was the first time the system had given such a severe punishment.
As for the rule that "other players cannot enter after the door is locked," it can deter many people with malicious intentions, but if someone actually does this, they might also make enemies of the players who are blocked outside.
I don't know if that's what the system intended, but it's good for Xiao Jin, because you never know who you'll be living with! (Author's note: Tsk tsk tsk~ Sigh~)
Therefore, the next second, Xiao Jin locked the door without hesitation and went straight to the bedroom.
Pushing open the door, the room was small. There was a single bed in the bedroom, with nothing on it except for the wooden bed frame. A desk was placed against the wall.
The entire bedroom is visible at a glance.
Xiao Jin didn't care. She took out her bedding from her spatial storage and spread it on the bed. She took out a small ceramic stove and brewed some milk tea. However, since she was about to rest, Xiao Jin didn't put in too much tea so that she wouldn't be unable to sleep at night.
She then leaned against the bed, drinking milk tea while checking her afternoon earnings.
Xiao Jin currently has a total of 8 resource boxes: 6 small and 2 medium. One of the medium boxes was dropped after killing the mutated eagle, and the other was the one that spawned in the safe house.
Open the small resource box first.
[Open Small Resource Box *6]
[Received: 2 x 300ml sodas, 1 x soap, 1 bunch of grapes, 2 x ballpoint pens, 4 x cream puffs, 1 x single sleeping bag, 3 x spicy strips, 5 x 300ml mineral water, 1 x thermal underwear, 1 x trousers, 3 x shovels, 2 x candles, 2 x toilet paper, 1 x oxygen cylinder]
ennnnnn……
Well, to be honest, these are all the things I got from opening six boxes. They're not exactly useless, but there were a decent number of items. The shovel, candles, and oxygen cylinders were alright, but the rest were mostly snacks. This time they didn't even give me bread!
Xiao Jin pursed her lips, showing absolutely no surprise. The grapes, cream puffs, and spicy strips were placed next to the small ceramic stove, to be eaten with milk tea later.
She then opened the medium-sized resource box dropped by the mutated eagle.
[Open Medium Resource Box *1]
[Rewards: 200 points, 2 Eagle Claws, 3 Feathers, 5 Mutant Eagle Meat (20g each), Eye of the Scout, 500ml Gasoline, Cooling Mat, 6-inch Matcha Cake, 1 Sun Hat]
The mutated python that Xiao Jin killed previously gave him 100 points, but this time he got 200. It seems that different mutated animals give different reward points.
Xiao Jin was lucky this time, getting four items.
Eagle claws and feathers are still materials, and there are also two other items, one purple and one blue.
Sun hat
Grade: Blue
Note: Wearing this can lower your body temperature to a certain extent (up to a maximum of 6 degrees Celsius).
Eye of the Detective
Grade: Purple
Cooldown time: 1 hour
Note: Images from the surrounding area can be received through one eagle eye, while the maximum distance between the two eagle eyes is limited to 100 meters.
The former has limited use for Xiao Jin, but the latter is the reconnaissance tool that Xiao Jin urgently needs right now.
The Eye of Reconnaissance is shaped like two eyeballs. The mutated eagle that Xiao Jin faced before had eyes bigger than bowls, but it seems that the two eyeballs have been shrunk to about the size of walnuts, perhaps to take into account the concealment of the reconnaissance tool.
The only downside is that Xiao Jin has to manually retrieve this item; if he can't find it, then it's truly gone!
There's one last resource box.
Xiao Jin collected all the scattered items into his backpack and picked up the intermediate resource box he found in the safe house, then opened it.
[Rewards: 200 points, 1 roast duck, 1 small medical kit (containing bandages, healing spray, and red pills), 3 apples, 2 smoke grenades, 2 remote-controlled mines, and 1 wild animal bait]
Wow! It really lives up to the resource box that the system specifically mentioned; the contents are excellent, with weapons and medicine included.
Xiao Jin picked up the beast bait, which was a small, transparent bag about the size of a palm. The bag was sealed and contained a strange green liquid.
The label says that breaking the bag will attract all animals within a 1-kilometer radius.
This can't be thrown away carelessly, or someone could die. Xiao Jin carefully put the bag away, then thought about whether he could set up a trap later and use this as bait to make a big score!
Before she knew it, it was exactly 10 p.m. Xiao Jin was lucky; no players came to the vicinity of the safe house during this time, which saved her from trouble.
'Awoo~'
Just as the clock struck 12, Xiao Jin suddenly heard the howl of a wolf. Immediately afterward, the earth seemed to tremble, and rumbling sounds echoed from all directions.
Half an hour earlier, Xiao Jin had lit the fire in the fireplace.
The crackling of the burning firewood and the warm, orange-red flames simultaneously eased the panic in the hearts of the players hiding in the safe zone.
When Xiao Jin added firewood, he noticed that the firewood had a progress bar, and one piece of firewood could last for two hours. Although the system didn't say how long the beast tide would last, just to be on the safe side, Xiao Jin put in five pieces of firewood.
The lights in the room couldn't be turned off. Xiao Jin stood by the window, her fair fingers gently prying open a crack in the curtains.
Outside, it was pitch black, the night sky seemed to be suffocating under the weight of thick, leaden clouds, and the few remaining glimmers of starlight were swallowed up by the boundless darkness.
In this deathly silence, Xiao Jin stood by the window, her eyes gleaming with an unusual light. Even though it was pitch black outside, Xiao Jin possessed night vision, so she could see the situation outside very clearly.
Her gaze was fixed on the outside world, where a group of dark figures lurked at the edge of the moonlight. Upon closer inspection, they were a pack of wolves, each one larger than an ordinary wolf, with bulging muscles and eyes gleaming with hunger and bloodlust. Yet, compared to the mutated animals Xiao Jin had encountered during the day, these wolves were remarkably—'small'.
Until Xiao Jin saw that towering, chilling figure in the center of the wolf pack, she couldn't help but press her tongue against her teeth.
It was a giant wolf, its body as black as ink, like a moving black tower, its size comparable to a small house. Its fur was glossy black, gleaming faintly in the dim moonlight, exuding an inviolable majesty.
Those deep eyes held a wisdom that emanated from them, and each breath was accompanied by a low growl that shook the surrounding air. The giant wolf's teeth were as sharp as steel blades, gleaming with a cold light, capable of tearing apart any obstacle in its path.
The wolves surrounded the giant wolf, lowering their heads to sniff the grass, their furry ears standing upright and twitching occasionally. Then, as if they had smelled something, one of the wolves howled, and the others ran off in one direction.
