Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches

If Lin Yun wanted to trade for food, that wouldn’t be impossible, since the peaches in her hand were quite large and looked delicious.

They were much better than some of those edible plants that had mutated into strange forms.

"Wow, what a huge peach!"

A startled cry came from the side, nearly causing Ghost Vine to lash out with its vines.

The newcomers were Xiao Fei and Li Ping. They had come to check on Lu Jingnian since he hadn’t returned.

Unexpectedly, upon entering, they saw Lin Yun, whom they had thought was already dead.

Although they were somewhat surprised, they didn’t say anything rashly, as that would have been too impolite.

"Hey, Captain Lu."

Li Ping received Lu Jingnian’s death stare, chuckled twice, and then greeted Lin Yun again.

"Long time no see, girl."

"My surname is Lin."

"Okay, Xiao Lin."

Xiao Fei rolled his eyes at Li Ping, then looked at Lu Jingnian with a questioning expression.

Lu Jingnian glanced at him and gestured for him to turn around and speak.

"Xiao Lin, how many peaches like these do you have?"

Lin Yun thought about it again. She could bring out two woven bags of peaches to trade, but she didn’t know if the base would be interested, since the quantity wasn’t particularly large.

"About 120."

Lu Jingnian was somewhat surprised, but this was still far more than what other survivors could bring back at once.

He thought for a moment.

"I’ll ask the base when I get back today, but it might take a few days before I can give you an answer."

Lin Yun understood what he meant. If the mutated animals in the city didn’t disperse by tomorrow, they would have to use force to drive them away.

"Good."

"Could you give me one first, so I can take it back and show it to my superiors? But I can’t guarantee whether the base will be willing to trade for them."

Lin Yun didn’t care. Collecting things in the town on her own was too slow and wouldn’t yield much. She thought trading with the base would be faster.

But if the base was unwilling to trade, it didn’t matter. After all, her quantity was limited, and it was perfectly normal for the base to find the deal troublesome and refuse.

At worst, she could just eat fruits and vegetables for the rest of her time here. It wasn’t as though she couldn’t survive on them.

Proposing a trade was simply a way to improve her quality of life.

She handed him the peach.

"I only brought one. You can have it."

"Okay."

Lu Jingnian took the plump peach. Li Ping, who was standing to the side, looked at it enviously. He had never seen such a huge peach before.

Lu Jingnian then handed the food he had just taken out to Lin Yun.

"Take this. Consider this peach part of our transaction."

This time, Lin Yun didn’t refuse and accepted Lu Jingnian’s food.

Li Ping knew that if he took the peach back, he definitely wouldn’t be able to get it back, and he also didn’t know whether the base would make another deal with Lin Yun.

So Li Ping secretly glanced at Lu Jingnian. Seeing that he didn’t stop him, he spoke up.

"Xiao Lin, can I trade you two of these peaches? I want to take them back for my mom to try."

"I only brought one," Lin Yun replied.

"It’s alright, it’s alright. We can do it next time we come to trade. I didn’t bring much food with me today."

Seeing that she hadn’t refused, Li Ping grinned foolishly and scratched his head.

Xiao Fei glanced at Li Ping, then quickly raised his hand.

"Ahem, Miss Lin, I also want to make a deal..."

"Okay."

Lin Yun agreed again.

Lu Jingnian and his group had other things to do, so they had to leave first.

Just before parting, Lu Jingnian seemed to remember something and stopped walking.

"By the way, if the base agrees to the deal, what would you like to exchange the peaches for?"

"Anything is fine. I’ll take whatever you have, but no fruits or vegetables."

She already had plenty of those.

Lu Jingnian agreed, then remembered that a girl her age should probably like snacks.

As for packaged snacks, they were generally still edible as long as they hadn’t been damaged.

When they collected supplies from the city and surrounding towns, they had also brought back quite a few snacks and other items.

"...Would you like some snacks?"

Lin Yun thought about it and decided to politely decline for now, since she had actually obtained quite a few snacks from the packages she had opened.

Lu Jingnian nodded, added a couple more words, and then left with Xiao Fei and Li Ping.

"We’ll try to resolve things in the city as soon as possible and come find you. We’ll also bring you some food, so please don’t eat the garbage!"

Xiao Fei and Li Ping’s gazes toward her instantly changed.

Lin Yun was left speechless.

She couldn’t decide whether to keep picking up this "trash" or not.

How infuriating!

Enraged, Lin Yun punched their retreating figures a few more times before leaving the shop.

Over the next period of time, Lin Yun went into almost every store to take a look, just in case there was something she didn’t have but needed.

After half a day, Lin Yun managed to find some more snacks. She checked them carefully and found that the packaging was intact and they were still edible.

She also found a fruit and vegetable shop nearby, but unfortunately, the produce had rotted beyond recognition due to the passage of time.

However, Lin Yun didn’t care. She still had plenty of vegetables and fruits, and the half rabbit that Ghost Vine had brought back last time still hadn’t been finished.

The reason was that the half rabbit weighed more than fifty pounds.

Lin Yun found a safer spot to have lunch and checked the daily quests in the Quest Center to see what she could accept.

After opening her personal panel, she saw the Shield skill on the left.

However, she hadn’t encountered any danger recently, so she hadn’t used the skill and didn’t know its specific power or exactly when she would need it.

[How about you let Ghost Vine whip you? It’s the same thing anyway. With your shield activated, it won’t hurt you. What do you say? Want to give it a try?]

"You little brat, you were eavesdropping, weren’t you?"

Lin Yun’s face fell again.

[I didn’t. Your expression made it obvious. I was just answering your question.]

Now that the acquisition points had reached their limit, the system no longer needed to consider Lin Yun’s feelings and had completely let loose, criticizing whatever it wanted.

After closing her personal panel, Lin Yun picked up another tomato and started eating it.

The tomato was so big that she couldn’t finish it in one meal.

The remaining half was dealt with by Ghost Vine.

Ghost Vine accepted everything and enjoyed it all.

After eating and drinking her fill, Lin Yun continued searching the town, intending to gather more supplies, since no one knew whether the world would remain as comfortable as it was now.

Just as she emerged from her hiding place, a familiar meow rang out.

It was the same tabby cat from before.

"Meow."

The tabby cat appeared out of nowhere and immediately went up to bite Lin Yun’s clothes as soon as it saw her.

"What’s wrong?"

The tabby cat made a whimpering sound in its throat, tugging at her clothes and pulling her in a certain direction.

Lin Yun mustered up her courage and patted the tabby cat again.

"Alright, alright, I’ll go with you. Don’t bite my clothes anymore, or you’ll tear them."

Upon hearing this, the tabby cat released Lin Yun’s clothes and gestured for her to follow it.

Lin Yun rode her bicycle and followed the tabby cat through the deserted town, turning left and right.

Soon, she heard a commotion not far ahead.

She looked around at her surroundings.

This was the very edge of town, and if something happened, the people in the town might not even hear it.

She stopped, put her bicycle back into her backpack, and then followed the tabby cat, which had stopped and was waiting for her, as it tiptoed closer.

The tabby cat led Lin Yun to a secluded spot where they could hear the sounds coming from ahead.

"Boss, we haven’t had meat for days. Shall we kill this kitten and eat it?"

A henchman fawned over the man sitting in the head seat, with a somewhat weak kitten beside him.

The man sat with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette, the smoke swirling around him.

"What’s there to eat? This kitten is clearly being cared for by its mother. If we use it to lure the mother out, we can get another one."

The man exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes filled with determination as he considered the mother cat.

"I’ve heard that cat meat is sour, but so what? As long as it’s meat, it’s edible! Who cares if it’s sour or not?"

"Hey, Boss! I was wrong just now. You’re right! Luring the mother cat out will definitely get us more meat."

The younger brother lightly licked his lips, his smile becoming even more obsequious.

The others echoed his sentiment.

Lin Yun then turned to look at the tabby cat lying beside her and asked softly,

"Your kitten?"

The tabby cat rolled its eyes at Lin Yun again, clearly annoyed.

Are you blind? Can’t you even tell if a cat is male or female? How could it possibly have given birth?

[Hilarious! Lin Yun is mocking you again.]

"?"

[That must be its companion’s kitten, not its own. It’s still a perfectly healthy male kitten.]

"..."

Okay, she understood why the tabby cat had that look in its eyes.

She really hadn’t known that the tabby cat was male.

Lin Yun wanted to ask where its companion was, fearing that the mother cat might fall into their trap in her eagerness to save her kitten.

However, because of the language barrier, she could only ask Ghost Vine to relay the message.

[It said its companion was sent away and isn’t here.]

The kitten’s mother was also a tabby cat.

She was very protective of her kitten and had become extremely anxious after discovering that it had been captured by humans.

However, she wasn’t a mutated animal, but merely an ordinary tabby cat that had grown larger.

When facing humans, especially when the other party had guns, she had no chance of winning.

So she went to ask the local cat boss, the tabby cat beside Lin Yun, for help.

After the tabby cat discovered that the group had guns, it sent the mother cat away, fearing that the group would shoot and kill her.

Then it discovered that Lin Yun had returned to town, so it quickly went to find her.

It would be quite difficult for a cat to rescue the kitten by itself.

And that was how everything had come to pass.

Lin Yun observed the group of people again and counted them carefully.

There were thirteen people in total. Eight of them had guns, and all thirteen had knives.

Fortunately, the tabby cats hadn’t rushed to rescue the kitten, or they would have become the gang’s meal instead.

At this point, she was also certain that this group of people was 99% likely to be the gang Lu Jingnian had mentioned.

But... were there only thirteen?

Judging from Lu Jingnian’s tone at the time, there were probably more than thirteen people.

There might be others somewhere else.
