Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches

"Bang—"

As the explosion rang out, Lin Yun rushed forward again. Seizing the opportunity, she struck the rats that hadn’t been completely killed by the explosion with her stick, killing them one after another.

The rats that had escaped the blast reacted and turned to pounce on Lin Yun and Ghost Vine.

These damned humans! They weren’t the same helpless prey they used to be. They could actually taste human flesh now!

Lin Yun’s eyes sharpened. She nimbly sidestepped a rat’s pounce while simultaneously swinging the stick in her hand hard against the head of another rat, instantly splattering its brains.

Not to be outdone, Ghost Vine wrapped its tendrils around several rats, binding them tightly. The tips of its tendrils suddenly pierced into the rats’ heads, and they instantly stopped struggling and went limp.

Soon, the dozen or so rats became their spoils.

Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief, though she was still somewhat unaccustomed to the bloody scene.

She had already accepted the task and submitted ten rats, earning 10 points.

She counted the remaining rats. There were seven in total.

"System, what did you say?"

[The task can be submitted repeatedly. Each rat earns 1 point. Just submit them directly, and the system will automatically calculate the points.]

"Okay."

Lin Yun submitted the remaining seven, earning another 7 points.

She was still thinking about the first rat she had killed, so she quickly ran back to where the dead rat had been.

As for the man who was already dead on the ground, Lin Yun didn’t even glance at him. In any case, the corpse would attract other predators sooner or later.

Returning to the place where she had first encountered the rat, Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it still lying there.

Thank goodness it was still there. Otherwise, she would have been sick to her stomach for nothing. It was worth one point!

That was much more valuable than sunflower seeds!

[Should we keep killing rats?]

Ghost Vine had been splattered with blood after killing a rat. Since Lin Yun didn’t have any paper or cloth to wipe it with, she simply picked it up and placed it on her shoulder.

Lin Yun pondered for a moment before saying, "Let’s not kill any more for now. We’ve already earned 18 points, and we made quite a commotion. I estimate that the explosion has already attracted other Survivors."

"Let’s go further into the town."

She was thinking that she had to find some clothes to take back with her today. Otherwise, not having a change of clothes would become really inconvenient.

But after taking only a few steps, she stopped again and decided to check the Task Center first. She didn’t want to discover later that she had missed another useful task.

Daily Task: Submit 10 Bones

Task Difficulty: F

Task Reward: 2 points

How many?!

2 points?

That worked out to only 0.2 points per bone.

Lin Yun closed her eyes again, skipped over this ridiculous task, and moved on to the next one.

Daily Task: Submit 5 Wood Crystals

Task Difficulty: C

Task Reward: 1 Random Skill

"Hiss, random skills?"

Lin Yun remembered that her personal information did indeed have something called Skills. She hadn’t expected that Skills could be obtained through tasks like this.

"System, what are Wood Crystals?"

[Plants like Ghost Vine, which possessed intelligence even before being bound, may contain Wood Crystals within their bodies.]

Lin Yun immediately caught onto the key word.

"May?"

[Yes. It’s possible, but not guaranteed.]

However, Lin Yun really wanted a Skill, and this one sounded quite powerful.

After accepting the task, she continued searching through the available tasks.

Daily Task: Kill and Submit 1 Rat King

Task Difficulty: C

Task Reward: 10 points

She happened to need a way to farm points from the rats, so Lin Yun accepted the task to kill the Rat King.

Avoiding that street, Lin Yun passed behind the self-built houses and arrived at another street. When she passed a small shop, she noticed that its door had been pried open, so she decided to go inside and take a look.

It was a general store, but it had already been almost completely looted, with only a few items left behind.

Lin Yun picked up a thermos that had been knocked off the shelf. After checking that it wasn’t broken, she kept it.

The other shelves were filled with empty cardboard boxes covered in a layer of dust. She frowned and simply ignored them.

There was no point in taking those things back.

She walked farther inside and casually picked up a stack of plastic bags, stuffing them into the backpack on her chest.

General stores usually had a small warehouse. Lin Yun didn’t know whether anything useful remained inside, but she still searched around and eventually found the warehouse.

She pushed open the door, and a pungent musty smell immediately hit her. The room was dim, and she could only vaguely make out several items piled up haphazardly.

She carefully walked inside, using the stem club in her hand to poke at the debris on the floor.

However, the things there were nothing more than cardboard boxes and packaging bags. There was nothing useful.

Something in the corner caught her attention.

Lin Yun walked over and found several bricks that had apparently been used to weigh down the cardboard boxes.

She sighed.

"Of course, it’s something I can’t eat again."

Lin Yun sighed again. She didn’t know how long the apocalypse had been going on. This general store had clearly been looted countless times, and everything that could be taken had already been taken.

The remaining items were either broken or nothing more than empty cardboard boxes.

Disappointed, Lin Yun left the general store and continued searching for her next target.

Clothes, clothes...

She needed to find some clothes to change into.

Ghost Vine knew that Lin Yun was looking for something again, but it didn’t know exactly what she was searching for. So it secretly slipped out of her pocket and wandered around the streets.

The main problem was that Ghost Vine was illiterate and couldn’t recognize the words written on the storefronts.

It could only sneak into stores to see if there was anything inside. If it found a store with lots of things, it would call Lin Yun over, hoping she might find something she needed.

Lin Yun caught a glimpse of Ghost Vine darting around, but she didn’t pay it much attention.

After all, it had been rooted on the mountain for such a long time. Now that it could finally move around freely, it was normal for it to want to run around.

As long as it didn’t cause trouble at critical moments, she would let it be.

There were many shops along this street, but most of them had already been looted.

Only some shops whose entrances had been covered by plants, or whose storefronts had been damaged by the vegetation, had escaped the disaster.

Lin Yun then picked up the stem club and stabbed it hard into a potted ivy growing beside the entrance of one shop.

With a twist, the ivy suddenly let out a sharp cry that pierced her ears.

How can this ivy make a sound?!

When attacked, the ivy didn’t retaliate. Instead, it obediently retracted its vines.

It had just sensed that the human possessed a powerful aura belonging to its own kind.

It was merely an ordinary ivy that had been fortunate enough to grow to its current size under the influence of this world.

It didn’t want to die!

That was why it didn’t dare act recklessly when humans entered its territory. It obediently pretended to be dead, hoping that no one would notice it.

Unexpectedly, the humans had still set their sights on it!
