She opened her eyes, still wondering why there was such a strong smell of blood. She thought it was from an animal fight outside that was wafting in through the window.

Gui Teng had just come out of the bathroom after washing itself when it noticed that Lin Yun was awake, so it immediately ran to the bed.

[You’re awake! Come and see what I brought back for you!] Ghost Vine said excitedly, full of anticipation for Lin Yun to praise it again.

Lin Yun yawned and sat up. It was still dark outside, so she couldn’t see what Gui Teng had done.

She climbed to the foot of the bed and turned on the light, only to be surprised by what was placed near the door.

"Hiss, where did you get this?"

[I didn’t need to sleep. I was so bored at home that I went out to get some food. This is what I brought you. Here, have some.]

Ghost Vine quickly climbed onto Lin Yun’s shoulder, urging her to hurry up and eat the meat.

Lin Yun pinched Ghost Vine off again and found that the little thing was wet, obviously having just washed itself.

"Oh my, whose Ghost Vine is so amazing? It even brought me food after going hunting." Lin Yun chuckled and rubbed Ghost Vine again.

[It’s me! It’s me!] Ghost Vine put its hands on its hips, looking extremely proud.

[Red Moon Rabbit Meat: Non-toxic, edible, ordinary animal meat.]

Seeing that the rabbit meat was edible, Lin Yun put it back into her backpack. Leaving it blocking the doorway wasn’t a good idea, and the smell of blood was too strong.

Lin Yun glanced at the time again and realized it was already past five o’clock. She figured she might as well not sleep anymore since she had already slept enough. She got up, tidied up the doorway, and set off as soon as it was light.

"Little Vine, next time you bring food back, put it outside first and let me get up to collect it. The smell of blood is too strong if you leave it inside."

"Oh, okay!" Ghost Vine agreed.

Today was an accident. It was a vine, after all, and it had no sense of smell. It hadn’t noticed the smell of blood until now. It only remembered that it had brought food back for Lin Yun again.

After tidying up, Lin Yun went outside again and brought in the clothes that had been drying outside the night before, then put them on.

As she dressed, she mentally calculated that she would need to get some more clothes from the city today. She had washed all her clothes the previous night and had slept in the nude, which made her very uncomfortable.

Upon seeing Lin Yun pull out the familiar sausage again, Ghost Vine immediately stretched out a vine.

[Let me try some, let me try some!]

Lin Yun broke off a small piece and gave it to it, and Ghost Vine immediately quieted down.

Ah, so this was what it tasted like. It was delicious.

Before leaving, Lin Yun checked the condition of the Star Tea Tree one last time. After finding that there were no problems, she picked up her backpack and went out.

Lin Yun walked step by step in the direction where the Survivors had fled the day before.

She took long strides, hoping to return to the Shelter today. She didn’t want to spend the night outside, as she always felt it wasn’t safe.

She didn’t pay close attention to the plants around her along the way and simply kept walking toward the city.

Only when she saw the city did Lin Yun breathe a sigh of relief. She was heading in the right direction.

The plants near the city weren’t as large as those in the forest, but they were still considerable in size. She also noticed signs that the plants in one area had been damaged.

She went over and examined them carefully, and unsurprisingly, they had been damaged by the same people from yesterday.

Thinking of this, Lin Yun became even more cautious.

Entering a world of Infinite Survival, things would certainly not be like they were in peaceful times. What she would face next might be a life-or-death struggle.

Lin Yun took another deep breath and stepped into the city.

This area was considered a small town; farther inland lay the area of a major city.

Thinking about yesterday’s countdown to the Shelter, most of the escaped Survivors should be in this area. With that in mind, Lin Yun had the idea of heading toward the city again.

However, it wasn’t realistic right now. Her ability to protect herself wasn’t strong, and going to a larger place rashly at this time might only backfire. It was better to observe the situation in this small town first.

After entering the small town, Lin Yun hid in the shadows and observed the marks on the ground to determine the direction the Survivors had fled and their current whereabouts.

There were four footprints on the ground, all pointing in the same direction.

The rest had run off in unknown directions, and Lin Yun couldn’t tell where they had gone.

To the right was a highway, and Lin Yun guessed that it probably led to other cities.

Lin Yun looked away and surveyed the surrounding houses. This place wasn’t bad; the self-built houses were three or four stories high.

However, this was a town, and many of the self-built houses were surrounded by a lot of plants.

Those houses were completely surrounded by gigantic plants, like climbing vines that covered the entire buildings, leaving only the outlines of the houses visible.

The once-bustling town was now covered in lush vegetation, resembling a green ocean.

The streets, houses, shops, and even vehicles were entangled and swallowed by plants, making everything look desolate and eerie.

The vegetation was exceptionally lush, with branches and leaves intertwining to form a vast green network. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating a hazy and mysterious atmosphere throughout the town.

Lin Yun cautiously approached a house that appeared relatively intact, with only a few plants growing around it. Just as she reached the door, a rustling sound suddenly came from inside.

Her heart pounded, and Ghost Vine instantly lashed out, ready to kill anything that dared to come out!

The creature inside, as if startled by a bow, keenly sensed the slightest movement outside. Like a ferocious beast, it broke through the rickety door and pounced toward Lin Yun.

It was a rat! A rat as large as a big dog!

Lin Yun had no time to check its details and could only hurriedly dodge the rat’s attack.

Ghost Vine, which had been resting on her shoulder, jumped down instantly, and its gigantic vines lashed fiercely at the giant rat.

The large rat let out a shrill scream, then turned around and bit down hard on one of the vines.

However, this was like an ant trying to shake a tree. Even if the vine was bitten, Ghost Vine wasn’t hurt or affected in the slightest.

Lin Yun then took out a stick and rushed over. Taking advantage of the moment when the rat was biting the vines, she swung the stick at its head.

The moment the first attack landed, the rat reacted instantly, as if it had been electrocuted.

Its claws, which had been tightly gripping and biting the vines, quickly released their hold as if they had been burned. Then it turned around without hesitation, ready to flee this dangerous place.

The rat knew very well that neither the human in front of it nor the strange vines were opponents it could easily deal with.

Although it was agile and nimble, its chances of winning against such a powerful opponent were almost zero.

Therefore, running away became its only option.
