Apocalypse Descends: I Win Effortlessly by Turning Trash into Treasure
Chapter 203: Cave Survival 13Caught completely off guard by the sudden attack, Perry Yates’s body lurched forward with the momentum.
Perry Yates was already standing near the edge, and the push sent her stumbling right over the line.
Staring at the unknown, long-haired white beast roaring as it charged her, then glancing back at the wall that had already sealed shut, Perry Yates took a deep breath.
The next second, an Any Door opened before her.
The long-haired white beast, already airborne in its pounce, plunged straight into the Any Door. When it emerged, it was on the other side of the cave.
Having temporarily dealt with the immediate crisis, Perry Yates didn’t let her guard down. Countless vines erupted from the ground at her feet, growing wildly. In the blink of an eye, the once-bare cave was overrun with a sea of green.
Immediately after, the vines snaked out and bound the long-haired white beast tightly, while a red Cannibal Flower began to quietly sprout and grow.
「Ten minutes later.」
After stowing away the Flesh Essence she had just acquired, Perry Yates finally began to survey her surroundings.
This cave was clearly much larger than the one she had just been in.
Moreover, based on her observations, this cavern seemed to be an amalgamation of several smaller caves. She could clearly see square-shaped marks on the surrounding walls and the ceiling above.
She glanced at the wall she had just come through. ’Even if I dig my way back now, I probably won’t find those two.’
At the thought, Perry Yates couldn’t help but clench her fists. In all her time in the game, she had never been taken for such a fool.
’Those people were already safe, yet one of them still had to push me. If I were an ordinary player, I’d be food for that long-haired white beast by now.’
The more Perry Yates thought about it, the angrier she became. ’It’s fine that I can’t get my revenge right now. I’ve memorized their faces. The moment I get back, I’m putting both of them on my blacklist.’
’Not only will I block them from entering the Phantom Street and The Card Tavern, I’ll make sure no one can help them customize cards either.’
Perry Yates had never been one to show mercy to those who tried to harm her. The only reason she wasn’t putting out a bounty on them right now was thanks to her upbringing. Otherwise...
Still, sometimes living is a more terrifying fate than death.
While Perry Yates was secretly plotting her revenge, she had no idea that her plans hinged on a single prerequisite: her targets had to survive long enough to leave the game.
And at that very moment, their lives were hanging by a thread.
Meanwhile, Alan Usher had watched, powerless, as Perry Yates was shoved through the opening, only for the wall to instantly seal itself before him.
Though Alan Usher’s expression barely changed, a terrifying aura began to emanate from him.
Anyone who knew him would have recognized the signs: Alan Usher was furious.
At that moment, the two players who had just escaped death were celebrating their narrow survival. They gave no thought to the person they had pushed, feeling not a shred of guilt.
After all, in this game, it was every person for themselves. They couldn’t care less about the fate of some strange girl.
’Who told her to be so careless? If she were stronger, a simple push wouldn’t have sent her off-balance. In the end, weakness is the original sin.’
’In a way, we did her a favor, helping her escape this miserable existence sooner.’
As they were thinking this, the two of them naturally noticed Alan Usher standing nearby.
Alan Usher was wearing a mask, so the two didn’t recognize him. They paid him no mind—after all, there were two of them.
’Besides, the guy hasn’t made a peep this whole time. He must be a total coward.’
"Hey, you. Got any food? Give us some."
"And I want a bottle of water. Clean mineral water."
The two ordered Alan Usher about bossily. But in the next second—
SQUELCH!
With the sound of flesh being pierced, the two women were sent flying backward like rag dolls, slamming hard against the wall.
Several circular wounds had appeared on their bodies, now gushing blood.
They weren’t dead yet, but with injuries this severe, it was only a matter of time.
One of the women stared at Alan Usher in horror. She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but couldn’t manage a single word as blood poured from her lips.
After dealing with them, Alan Usher took all the cards from their bodies, then turned and left.
Even though he knew that digging the wall open again was unlikely to lead back to the same cave, Alan Usher chose to do it anyway.
Once the wall was open, Alan Usher looked at the narrow space on the other side, a flicker of disappointment in his eyes. He then stepped through.
Meanwhile, in contrast to Alan Usher’s disappointment, Perry Yates was adapting quite well—aside from her anger at being pushed.
The cave she was in now must have been the lair of that long-haired white beast, because she found quite a few things here.
There was some half-eaten food, which had been sitting out for so long it had started to rot.
Perry Yates fed the rotting food to her Cannibal Flower, and the air in the cave instantly became much fresher.
Then there were the bones—and stones of all kinds.
It was perfectly normal for a cave to be full of stones, and Perry Yates thought nothing of it at first. That is, until she accidentally scanned one of them while using her Identification skill.
[Infrastructure Space Stone
Function: Can be used to stabilize space.]
She read the function of the Infrastructure Space Stone, then looked around at the cavern, which was significantly larger than a typical cave.
’So that’s it. The space here is so large because of these Infrastructure Space Stones. I thought it was some unique Talent of the original inhabitant.’
After a thorough search of the entire cave, Perry Yates had collected a total of six Infrastructure Space Stones of various sizes.
Looking at the Infrastructure Space Stones, a bold idea suddenly formed in Perry Yates’s mind.
But before she could act on this idea, she needed to check the instructions for using the Infrastructure Space Stone.
"So that’s how it works."
After reading the instructions for the Infrastructure Space Stone, Perry Yates picked a random wall and placed two of the stones on either side of a section she intended to work on.
Having done all that, she didn’t begin her work immediately, waiting instead for an hour before she started to dig.
The Infrastructure Space Stone could stabilize space; the instructions stated that it needed to be placed at the junction between spaces.
