Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches

Remembering that she still needed a generator, Lin Yun decided to look for a hardware store nearby. Perhaps she could find one there. If not, she would have to go into the city to search for one.

She remembered that generators weren’t usually sold in department stores or hardware stores in small towns.

She had already checked the department store behind her, but there hadn’t been one.

[Do we really need a generator? Electricity is actually pretty cheap for us.]

"Get out of the way."

[...]

What an unreasonable host! She wouldn’t even let it earn a single point!

While Chen Anna was still browsing through the department store, she reached the last row and noticed an empty space where a shelf had previously stood.

It was the shelf Lin Yun had taken away—the one that had been filled with tissues.

She looked at the two packs of tissues left on the ground and immediately realized that the girl from earlier had deliberately left them for her.

For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

An indescribable sense of grievance suddenly welled up inside her.

Perhaps it was because she was alone in a strange world, frightened and helpless, and someone had unexpectedly reached out to help her. All the emotions she had been suppressing suddenly surged to the surface.

Chen Anna had been pampered ever since she was a child. But now, she had been chosen by Infinite Survival and thrown into this unfamiliar world.

She was terrified.

Wiping away her tears, Chen Anna quickly stuffed the things she needed into her backpack. She had found a place nearby that still had food, and she wanted to ask the girl from earlier if she wanted to go with her.

However, after searching the department store, she could no longer find Lin Yun.

The girl had already left.

Chen Anna felt a little disappointed. She should have acted faster.

Still, that girl was probably a survivor just like her. As long as she was still alive, they would surely meet again in this town.

Meanwhile, Lin Yun had already reached another street.

Although this area was close to the mountains, it had been quite prosperous before the apocalypse, with many people living nearby.

There seemed to be quite a few famous restaurants along the street, but Lin Yun didn’t bother going inside. Even if there was food left, it would have rotted long ago. There was no point wasting her time.

[Youyou! Come quickly!]

Ghost Vine called out excitedly.

Lin Yun looked over and saw Ghost Vine waving its tendrils excitedly in front of a tall camphor tree.

There weren’t many plants along this street, only a few camphor trees scattered around.

The moment Lin Yun approached the tree, she sensed the powerful aura emanating from it.

The camphor tree also sensed the presence of Ghost Vine and merely ignored them.

It was the only camphor tree in the area that seemed to possess intelligence. Having stood here for decades, it had long since become indifferent to worldly affairs. It neither liked fighting nor cared for killing.

[Youyou, kill it and get the Wood Crystal! It has one!]

Ghost Vine excitedly pointed at the camphor tree and told Lin Yun that it contained a Wood Crystal.

Camphor Tree: I didn’t even mind you little brat disturbing my sunbathing, and you still have the nerve to shout at me and try to steal my Wood Crystal? How shameless can you be?

The corners of Lin Yun’s lips twitched.

This camphor tree really was a lot like Ghost Vine.

However, since it hadn’t attacked them, Lin Yun had no reason to kill it. She wasn’t some kind of bloodthirsty maniac who would do anything for the sake of completing a mission.

"Forget it. It hasn’t done anything to us."

Lin Yun picked Ghost Vine up from the ground and prepared to leave.

[Ah... okay.]

Ghost Vine glanced reluctantly at the camphor tree and sighed. But since Lin Yun had already made her decision, it naturally wouldn’t argue.

[Wait.]

An aged voice suddenly came from behind them.

Lin Yun froze. She immediately turned around and stared at the camphor tree, her eyes widening in shock.

A mutated plant could actually communicate with humans?!

[Of course it can’t communicate with humans directly. You can hear me because of the little one beside you.]

The camphor tree briefly explained the situation. It had decided to speak because it could tell that Lin Yun was a good person.

Unlike those rude little fellows who had come here yesterday, it hadn’t attacked her.

Those people had already been driven away by its branches and had learned their lesson.

"Is there something you need?"

[Are you looking for something? What are you looking for? If I know where it is, I can tell you.]

Although Lin Yun didn’t understand why the camphor tree was willing to help her, she didn’t stand on ceremony.

She did have things she needed to find.

"I need a generator, seeds, and medicine."

While she was talking to the camphor tree, Ghost Vine quietly slipped out of her pocket and quickly climbed up the camphor tree.

The camphor tree knew that Ghost Vine was still young—a little baby vine—so it simply let it climb around without bothering it.

[Go straight ahead. There’s a hardware store over there. They have generators, although I don’t know whether the other humans have already taken them.]

[Then turn right at the next intersection. There’s a flower market there. It used to be quite famous around here. You can go and see if there are any seeds left.]

[As for medicine... it’s probably all gone. The townspeople looted most of it before they left. If you want to look anyway, you can try searching around the flower market.]

"Okay. Thank you."

Lin Yun thought for a moment before adding, "I didn’t bring enough water with me today. I’ll bring you some next time I come."

After thanking the camphor tree sincerely, Lin Yun called Ghost Vine back and left.

Following the directions given by the camphor tree, she quickly found the hardware store.

The door was wide open. Inside, various items were scattered everywhere, leaving the store in complete disarray. A thin layer of dust covered some of the shelves.

Who knew how long it had been since anyone had visited this place?

Before Lin Yun could even begin looking for the generator, she spotted two skeletons behind a shelf.

There were still dark bloodstains on the floor around them, with some even splattered across the shelves.

Wow! Points!

Ghost Vine immediately rushed over, gathered the bones together, and waited for Lin Yun to submit them.

Lin Yun sighed.

She could roughly guess what had happened to the two people.

They had probably set their sights on some weapons in the hardware store. Since there weren’t many weapons left, they had started fighting over them.

In the end, both of them had died.

As for the weapons they had fought over, Lin Yun couldn’t find them. They had probably been taken away by someone else afterward.

Hardware stores sold things like axes and hammers, which could make fairly decent weapons in this world.

The two skeletons earned a total of 82.4 points, bringing Lin Yun’s total to 376.6 points.

Lin Yun wandered around the hardware store again. She took out a woven bag she had collected from the department store and began picking up anything that might prove useful.

However, things like axes and saws were already gone.

She didn’t find a generator either.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yun looked around the hardware store again, searching for a small warehouse.

Generators weren’t necessarily something people in small towns would buy. Even if the store had stocked them, they might have been kept in the warehouse rather than displayed in the main shop.
