Tao Sai quickened her pace and rushed forward, like a falcon swooping down from the sky to kill a hare. She picked up the shovel on the ground and ran straight towards her first target, Sun Laosi.
Because he is tall, younger and stronger in comparison, he is the biggest threat.
Faced with a little girl rushing towards him, even though she was holding a weapon, Sun Laosi didn't take her seriously at all.
The other party rushed over too fast and raised the shovel directly at him after getting close. Sun Laosi was unable to react in time and was ready to block it with his bare hands.
He raised his arm and bent it, trying to use the tendons in his forearm to block the blow, his other hand preparing to grab the wooden handle of the shovel. However, the force of the blow far exceeded his expectations. The iron collided violently with his muscles, and before the force had even subsided, it hit his bones again. He was thrown back several steps uncontrollably, shaking his hands in pain. "Fuck!"
Without any pause, Tao Sai took two steps forward, raised the shovel and continued swinging.
Why is she so fierce?
Chen Bing, who was standing by, was also surprised at first, but he didn't have time to think about anything else. He picked up a stool at his feet and threw it out with force.
The wooden horse hit Tao Sai's back with a crisp sound.
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain, and Tao Sai was hit so hard that his head went dizzy. He staggered, slipped on the dirt, and finally fell to the ground.
After suffering two heavy blows, Sun Laosi also reacted, rushed forward, and used his huge weight advantage to crush her.
The severe pain in her back kept Tao Sai awake. Her neck was pressed hard and she gradually couldn't breathe.
Without any fighting experience, she instinctively reached out and groped around on the ground, then grabbed the wooden stool and swung it with all her strength. The corner of the stool hit Sun Laosi's temples.
Sun Laosi covered his broken head and fell to the ground, struggling in pain. The corner of his eye was opened and blood spurted out.
Tao Sai supported himself on the ground with his hands and struggled to get up, feeling as if his spine was broken.
There were footsteps behind her, and she reacted quickly, waving the wooden horse and turning around, staring at Chen Bing who was trying to attack her with her cold eyes.
Chen Bing had nearly succeeded in his sneak attack, the bamboo broom within five centimeters of her head. With a swift turn, the broom's tangled branches scraped a long gash across her cheek, and blood quickly seeped out.
Being stared at by Tao Sai like that, Chen Bing was startled and couldn't help showing his fear. He took two steps back and didn't dare to act rashly.
"Fuck you!" Sun Laosi, who was lying on the ground, rubbed his left eye, which was blurred by blood. Stimulated by the blood, he was extremely angry and tried to stand up.
Tao Sai turned to look at him, and hit him on the head with the stool again, knocking him down completely.
The biggest threat was eliminated. Tao Sai turned his gaze and stared straight at Chen Bing who was shrinking back.
Tao Sai walked towards him step by step, and Chen Bing retreated step by step. Finally, he simply threw the broom in his hand at the other party and turned around and ran away.
He jumped to the big iron gate in two steps, but found to his despair that the bolt was locked.
"No, no, no! Auntie!" Chen Bing looked at the black shadow that was getting closer and closer, clenched his fists and begged for mercy. His legs even went weak and he knelt on the ground.
Tao Sai's eyes were cold and indifferent, and without mercy, he raised his stool and smashed it hard on Chen Bing's head. Although Chen Bing looked sturdy, he was actually overweight. The blow knocked him unconscious.
Tao Sai let go of the stool in her hand, leaned against the iron gate, and breathed heavily. It took her a long time to recover. When she pressed her hand on her back, the pain instantly transmitted to her brain.
She was actually thin and had little flesh on her back, so she was hit hard by the wooden horse and most of her bones were broken.
After a while, Tao Sai endured the pain and bent down, then placed her finger on Chen Bing's philtrum. He was still breathing, not dead. She then went to test Sun Lao Si's breathing, and he was also not dead.
Fortunately, he didn't die, otherwise it would be troublesome.
Tao Sai leaned against the wall to rest again.
Tao Sai had just used the [Star Upgrade Card] in a hurry, and she didn't have time to look at the updated panel. Now she clicked it.
【Tao Sai [female]
Star rating: ★☆
Level: 1
Experience: 0/128
property
Smart: 5/100
Strength: 10/100
Physical strength: 4/100
Agility: 4/100
Resistance: 2/100
Skill: Unequipped]
[Star Upgrade Card] allowed her star level to jump to one and a half stars, and all attribute values were improved, especially strength, which gained two attribute points again, reaching 10/100, which almost reached the level of a middle-aged man.
It was precisely because of this that she had the confidence to fight the two men.
The resistance increased by one point, two points of resistance value, and also improved her defensive ability in the previous fight.
Based on Tao Sai's experience playing Insect Tide, she knew that resistance, like intelligence, was a comprehensive attribute. According to the game's mechanics, the random attribute points gained each time a character leveled up were unlikely to be added to resistance or intelligence.
Resistance not only includes the body's ability to withstand blows, resist toxicity, and psychological endurance, but most importantly, it also includes the body's recovery speed after trauma.
But now she probably has some fractures in her spine, which is a serious injury. It would be too slow to wait for automatic recovery with only two points of resistance.
Tao Sai clicked on the system [Mall] and spent 20 gold coins to buy a [Recovery Potion].
The game item [Recovery Potion] can quickly act on the character, injecting the energy needed by the body, accelerating the body's metabolism, and also accelerating the recovery of damaged parts of the body.
After using it, she immediately felt a tingling sensation on her back. She closed her eyes and waited quietly for the damaged body tissues to begin to recover.
Tao Sai remained awake, leaning against the wall for an unspecified amount of time as the sky gradually darkened.
Now she is increasingly convinced of a truth: at the critical moment of life and death, it is better to rely on oneself than on others, and strengthening and arming oneself is the only way.
With the help of the recovery potion and the simultaneous repair of two points of resistance, the bloodstain on the cheek became much lighter and the injury on the back also improved.
She straightened up and felt that she could walk normally again.
The two middle-aged men in the yard were still unconscious on the ground. Tao Sai went to the room and came out with a bottle of baijiu in one hand. He had bought the baijiu online, thinking that drinking baijiu would temporarily relieve the cold if he encountered damp or extreme cold at sea.
He first walked to Sun Laosi's side, unscrewed the bottle cap, then pinched his mouth open with the thumb and index finger of one hand, poured a big mouthful of wine into his mouth, and the remaining wine spilled on his clothes.
The same thing happened to Chen Bing who was standing by the iron gate.
Deep night enveloped the surroundings. Tao Sai stepped forward step by step, holding a leg in each hand and dragging the two middle-aged men along. Finally, she threw them in the middle of the small road and stuffed two empty bottles into their hands.
This created the scene of two drunks fighting each other.
Even if they called the police, no one would believe that a young girl in her early twenties could beat up two able-bodied men, and beat them so badly. Moreover, they were loan sharks and didn't dare to call the police.
Back home, Tao Sai sat quietly on the bench under the eaves and thought.
She counted and took inventory. She found that she had lost ten plastic boxes in the destruction by Chen Bing and Sun Laosi. There were also several packages that she had not had time to open. They were thrown to the ground and stepped on by them, and most of them were unusable.
Those two were bastards, not good people, and they definitely wouldn't let it go after today. Even if she could hit them once, she could hit them a second time, but even with constant defense, there were always times when she'd be vulnerable.
And Zhou Ning is still here.
Another point is that natural disasters will come soon and supplies will be in short supply. She will instantly become the target of public criticism for stockpiling so many supplies in her yard.
To sum up, her refugee boat must be sent to the river as soon as possible.
That night, Tao Sai no longer used the skill [Deep Sleep]. She slept with one eye open and one eye closed, always alert to prevent anyone from sneaking into her house.
The next morning, she locked the door, took Zhou Ning with her, borrowed a tricycle from a neighbor, and loaded the cardboard into the town's scrap yard.
After weighing a cart of cardboard, the scrap yard owner only gave them 51 yuan. Zhou Ning exclaimed, "What a waste!" Tao Sai often came here with her grandfather to sell scrap. She had expected this price and was used to it. 51 yuan was better than nothing.
She took Zhou Ning around the scrap yard. Based on the materials needed for the upgrade, she bought from the boss a large piece of iron sheets removed from a signboard, several completely scrapped household appliances, discarded work clothes, jackets, oilcloth and canvas with countless holes in them used for drying grain, and a large number of plastic shells removed from children's toys... Tao Sai tried her best to buy any scrap that was related to metal, cloth, and bioplastics at the best price-performance ratio.
Because it had been explained to Zhou Ning in advance that these things were purchased for survival in the apocalypse, so although she wondered what other uses many of these things could have, she did not ask too much.
The small tricycle that Tao Sai pushed was obviously unable to hold so much waste, so she went to the roadside and called two delivery drivers. It took three vehicles to haul all the things back home.
"Tuantuan, I'll take you out for a boat ride later." Tao Sai suddenly said after moving the waste into the yard.
"Really? That's great!" Zhou Ning's face lit up with excitement when she heard it. Taotao taking her for a boat ride was so cool just thinking about it!
Tao Sai said, "You go wait for me on the boat first. I'll pack up and come right back."
"Okay!" Zhou Ning excitedly ran to open the small side door of the yard, went down the steps, and climbed onto the black-sailed boat tied to the river with a rope.
Tao Sai hid by the door. After confirming that she was on board, he opened the system panel and first scanned the waste piled up in the yard.
The outlines of the waste in the yard suddenly flashed, and then disappeared from sight in an instant.
She clicked on the [Upgrade] module again.
[Experience: 0/128
Gold: 90/100
Fabric: 19/10
Metal: 51/45
Bioplastics: 66/60
There are always extra upgrade materials from waste, so don't worry about it. The system will automatically store the extra materials and you can use them directly next time you upgrade. I can't upgrade yet because I'm still a little short of gold coins and experience points.
Then, Tao Sai opened the [Warehouse] module. She scanned the sorted supplies one by one with her eyes and put their luggage and all the useful items in the house into the [Warehouse].
After dealing with all this, Tao Sai came out from the side door, untied the rope on the wooden pile, climbed onto the black-sailed boat, pushed the boat forward with a bamboo pole, and quickly moved forward along the current.
