Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches
Chapter 36 Re-entering the TownHowever, there was no danger nearby at the moment, and since this was Ghost Vine’s territory, she couldn’t try out the skills she had just acquired.
It rained for two days straight, and Lin Yun stayed in the shelter for two more days without going out.
"This rain has been going on for so long. It’s been two days already. Is it still not going to stop?" Lin Yun looked out the window again at the rain outside, which was still pouring down.
Ghost Vine climbed up the window, extending her tendrils outside.
[I’m so bored again. Are there any unopened packages? I want to open them!]
Lin Yun’s lips twitched again. Yesterday, while staying in the shelter, she had already unpacked the remaining four large packages, which contained all sorts of things.
Lin Yun wanted to throw away some things she didn’t need, but she also felt they were still useful. However, she had nowhere to put them, which was really frustrating.
There were some toys in the packages, which she gave directly to Ghost Vine and Ivy. Surprisingly, they liked them quite a bit and had a lot of fun playing with them.
"Do you want to open them? There are still a few shelves left. I’ll take them out, and you can open them yourself."
Lin Yun had already had her fill of opening packages yesterday, so she wasn’t as keen on doing it now.
[Okay, okay! Ivy and I will clean everything up together in a bit!]
Like a spirited little dog, Ghost Vine pounced on another shelf as soon as Lin Yun put it out.
Lin Yun shook her head with amusement, glanced at the rain outside the window, and decided to take a nap. Rainy days were perfect for sleeping.
She got out of bed after sleeping for a while, but the rain outside was still pouring down.
Lin Yun sighed again, took out her pots and pans, and began to cook.
She unpacked the soy sauce, vinegar, and other condiments from the package, checked them, and found that they were neither expired nor damaged, so she could use them immediately.
She went to the bathroom, took out the half rabbit, cut off a large piece, washed away the blood, and then started cooking a delicious meal.
She knew how to cook and planned to make braised rabbit and fresh rabbit hot pot—two ways of cooking rabbit in one meal.
She originally wanted to grill it, but since they were in the shelter, grilling would make the smell too strong, and she didn’t want the whole shelter to smell like that.
[You want to eat again!]
As soon as the food came out of the pot, Ghost Vine instantly stuck to Lin Yun, clinging to her body.
"Okay, I’ll give you a little of each."
Lin Yun didn’t have any rice, so she made some unleavened flatbreads from the powder ground from the roots of the grass as her staple food.
She had to admit that the powder made from the ground grass was surprisingly delicious when made into pancakes. It was especially fragrant when rolled with a piece of braised rabbit.
After eating and drinking her fill, Lin Yun got up and opened the wooden door of the shelter to let the smell dissipate, only to find that the rain outside had begun to subside.
Lin Yun opened another umbrella and went out to check the seeds she had planted in the flowerpots. Many of the seeds had already sprouted and were growing rapidly.
Ivy had taken good care of these flowerpots. Some of the faster-growing seedlings were already almost a finger’s length long.
She then went to check on the three mutated trees.
The pepper had grown a little, but it was still in its growth stage.
The mutated corn had already produced new ears of corn. Lin Yun remembered that she had told the corn earlier that she wanted to eat cucumber-flavored corn, but she wondered if it had grown yet.
Seeing that new ears of corn had formed, Lin Yun simply picked one by hand and decided to wait until the rain stopped before harvesting the rest.
Back at the shelter, Lin Yun steamed the corn, planning to eat it on the way the next day.
Judging from the rain outside, it should stop raining tomorrow.
Sure enough, as soon as she woke up, she could no longer hear the rain outside.
After getting ready and opening the door, Lin Yun found that the sun’s rays were already shining on the ground.
Lin Yun was already eager to go out, but after so much rain, some parts of the mountain were still wet, and the roads were bound to be muddy.
She had to wait a little longer. Otherwise, the road would cover the soles of her shoes with a thick layer of mud.
Around nine o’clock, the sun outside gradually became scorching, as if yesterday’s heavy rain had been nothing more than an illusion.
Lin Yun frowned and glanced at the weather outside before putting on her sun-protection gear. The sun was so strong at this hour that it was almost frightening.
After leaving the shelter, Lin Yun took out the corn she had cooked the night before and took a bite.
To her surprise, it really was cucumber-flavored corn.
Wow, you can actually make mutated corn do this?
But flavored corn sounds weird, doesn’t it?
Or could it simply produce popcorn-like kernels on its own?
Lin Yun suddenly smiled again, feeling that her imagination was quite wild. Wouldn’t the mutated corn simply ignore her upon hearing such a request?
While munching on the cucumber-flavored corn, Lin Yun made her way down the mountain.
She took out her bicycle, got on, and rode toward the town, not knowing what she might find today. It would be even better if she could find something she didn’t already have.
The survivors in this world seemed to be quite "friendly."
She did encounter a few survivors during her ride, but they only glanced at her warily before moving away, showing no intention of doing anything to her.
Upon entering a shop she had never been to before, Lin Yun looked around again. The shelves were still empty, with only useless cardboard boxes remaining.
Lin Yun wandered around the shop but found nothing worth taking. Since she was already there, she casually took a plastic bag from the counter.
After leaving the shop, she packed up her bicycle and began searching through the nearby stores.
They had originally just been picking up trash in the town, but now they looked even more like scavengers.
When Lu Jingnian discovered Lin Yun, he was undoubtedly pleasantly surprised.
But then he suddenly saw a scene that left him stunned—a fair-skinned girl picking up trash!
She must have run out of food, right? Otherwise, why would she need to search everywhere?
Lu Jingnian couldn’t resist coming over.
When he appeared, Ghost Vine reminded her, but Lin Yun didn’t pay any attention to his approach, as she was happily picking up trash at the moment.
"Miss."
Lu Jingnian didn’t know Lin Yun’s name, so he could only call her that.
Lin Yun turned to look at him again.
"My surname is Lin."
"Okay, Xiao Lin."
"Xiao Lin, there’s hardly any food around here anymore, and even if there is, it’s already spoiled. I brought you some food. It’s just a shame I haven’t run into you lately. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been going hungry."
Lu Jingnian took out the food he had been carrying for Lin Yun. Seeing her rummaging through things, he felt a little sorry for her.
A little girl was outside all alone, without any food.
Lin Yun:
"..."
How was she supposed to explain this?
Forget it. Judging from Lu Jingnian’s expression, he seemed to have already decided that she was eating garbage. If she tried to explain, Lu Jingnian would probably only see it as an excuse.
Lu Jingnian handed her two cans of food and something that looked like steamed buns, but Lin Yun didn’t take them.
"Here, have some first. We can talk about it later."
"...I’m really not hungry. Did you need something?"
Lu Jingnian brought up the matter of going to the base again. He also mentioned the animals in the city and the gang near S City.
Lin Yun frowned again. From Lu Jingnian’s words, it seemed that the animals were plotting something big.
However, she lived in the mountains, so these things didn’t really concern her and wouldn’t affect her much.
But thinking of Chen Anna and Yao An’an, she decided that she should remind them sometime.
"Xiao Lin, putting aside whether those animals will affect this place, those gangs have already entered S City. Our main focus right now is on those mutated animals, and we really don’t have the energy to deal with that gang."
"That gang is very likely to come to this town. I’m worried you’ll run into them. Either you come with me to the base for a few days, or, if you really don’t want to stay at the base, you can come back after we’ve taken care of them."
Lu Jingnian really didn’t want any more survivors to be harmed. S City used to have a large population, but now, due to various circumstances, the population had decreased significantly.
Most importantly, those criminal gangs loved to target young girls like Lin Yun.
Society was now out of order, and the dark side of some people’s hearts had begun to grow infinitely. Knowing that the authorities were currently unable to deal with them, they had become increasingly rampant, committing all kinds of evil deeds such as arson, murder, and robbery.
They always found loopholes, and when the authorities could no longer tolerate them and were about to take action against them, they immediately changed their positions and escaped the official crackdown.
Just like a cat playing with a mouse, they were toying with the authorities.
"No need. My place is very safe. No one will find out."
Lin Yun refused Lu Jingnian’s suggestion again.
Lu Jingnian sighed and didn’t bring it up again.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yun asked, "What kind of food do you have at your base? Can I trade with you?"
"We have canned meat, instant food, and rice and noodles. What would you like to exchange for?"
Lu Jingnian didn’t expect Lin Yun to ask this again.
Lin Yun then took out a peach from her backpack under the cover of the bag.
"There happens to be a peach tree where I live. I picked this from there and wanted to exchange it for something else."
When she proposed the deal, Lin Yun was actually a little apprehensive. She didn’t know if Lu Jingnian could be completely trusted, but based on his attitude during their two meetings, she chose to believe him.
Lu Jingnian was surprised. He didn’t expect Lin Yun to have such a good peach in her hands.
So just now... he had misunderstood and thought Lin Yun was picking up trash?
Lin Yunyou: You’ve misunderstood.
However, Lu Jingnian carefully recalled the details of the town, but he couldn’t remember where there were peach trees. He remembered all the places where peach trees grew, but he hadn’t found any fruit on them.
Lin Yun naturally knew this was a loophole, but so what? She was betting that Lu Jingnian wouldn’t ask any further questions.
Lu Jingnian didn’t.
He believed he was good at judging people, and since Lin Yun said so, he would believe her. After all, it was just exchanging peaches for food.
Their base did indeed lack this kind of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Although some survivors went out to find food and brought back some edible fruits and vegetables, the quantity wasn’t large. They now mostly ate the vacuum-packed rice, noodles, and other packaged foods they had stocked up on before.
Fresh fruits and vegetables could still occasionally be found in some places, but meat was really hard to come by.
After the animals underwent mutation, they became extremely cunning. As soon as you approached, they would immediately sense your presence and run away at lightning speed, making them impossible to catch.
The surrounding chicken farms and duck farms had long since been destroyed or their animals had escaped because of the larger mutated creatures.
Even if some had survived, there were only a few.
It would be difficult for them to catch them again. Those animals were extremely wary.
