Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches

Lin Yun didn’t mind. She simply grabbed a plastic bag from behind the counter, stuffed it into her backpack, and continued searching.

She looked through the storage area behind the convenience store, but... it was completely empty!

Next one!

"Huh? There’s an electric scooter shop up ahead! Let’s go check it out!"

It wouldn’t hurt to get a few electric scooters and take them back with her!

Lin Yun quickly ran over.

Ghost Vine told her something, then happily ran off to play around. It had never been here before, so it wanted to have some fun!

The tabby cat shook its head.

This ignorant country bumpkin!

Lin Yun examined the electric scooters that had fallen to the ground. They were all in good condition. There were only a few scratches here and there, but they didn’t affect their use.

She happily collected four or five scooters and put them into her backpack, taking up only one slot.

She then went into the shop’s office to see if there was anything that hadn’t been taken.

As it turned out, Lin Yun had made the right decision.

She found some intact instant noodles, snacks, and other food.

In a good mood, Lin Yun stored everything away and decided to search through some office buildings next.

There might be even more useful things there, especially offices belonging to e-commerce companies!

Lin Yun looked up and called out, "Ghost Vine!"

A tabby cat meowed and poked its head out.

Lin Yun slapped her forehead.

She had forgotten that Ghost Vine had told her it was going to wander around the area.

"Did you see which way it went?"

Lin Yun came out of the office again and patted the tabby cat.

The tabby cat meowed and led her in a certain direction.

Before long, they saw Ghost Vine.

It had grown to a gigantic size and was currently bullying a tree.

Lin Yun:

"?"

[You jerk! That’s the food I caught! Give it back!]

The Metasequoia didn’t care at all.

It swallowed the food, immediately ate it, and then pretended to be dead.

It didn’t hear anything.

It didn’t see anything.

It didn’t know anything.

Anyway, there was absolutely no way it was going to spit out the food that was already in its mouth!

Absolutely not!

"Little Vine."

Lin Yun didn’t approach immediately. She stopped at a distance and called out.

[Mutated Plant: Metasequoia glyptostroboides]

[Grade: E-level Exotic Plant]

[Characteristics: Honest and Docile — Such an honest mutated plant is quite rare. After mutation, it loves to flower and bear fruit, its seeds germinate easily, and it isn’t particularly aggressive... except when it comes to stealing food.]

[Status: Full; playing dead.]

[Note: Because it loves to flower and bear fruit, it is very distressed by the seeds that fall around its feet and hopes someone can help it clean them up.]

"..."

Such an honest mutated plant... yet it steals food?

What kind of contradictory description was that?

As soon as Ghost Vine heard that Lin Yun had arrived, it immediately rushed over to complain.

But the Metasequoia spoke first.

[Ahhh! Human over there, run! This vine is vicious! It has been whipping me for ages!]

[If this vine whips you, you’ll be crying for ten days to half a month! Run! Run!]

[?]

Ghost Vine turned around and lashed out with a vine.

[This is my master!]

[It bullied me! It stole my prey while I was passing by!]

Ghost Vine immediately complained again.

For a moment, Lin Yun didn’t know how to act as the judge.

If she said the Metasequoia was at fault, it had just warned her to run away.

But if she said it wasn’t at fault, it had indeed stolen Ghost Vine’s food.

"How about this? You go and take it back."

[But it ate it! QAQ]

Ghost Vine was furious.

This Metasequoia was shameless!

The Metasequoia didn’t dare make a sound.

How could it possibly say anything at a time like this?

There hadn’t been any animals or insects around lately, and it had almost starved to death.

Finally, something carrying food had passed by.

It simply couldn’t resist stealing it.

It hadn’t meant any harm...

It had thought that if it played dead and ignored the vine, the vine would eventually leave.

Who could have known that the vine was connected to a human?

Wasn’t this like the sky falling on its head?!

Humans had saws!

What if they accidentally sawed off one of its branches?!

If it had known there was a human behind the vine, it never would have been foolish enough to steal the food.

The Metasequoia:

[QAQ I’ve already behaved myself.]

"..."

Lin Yun sighed.

"I can’t really do anything about it. Although it stole your food, it didn’t attack us on its own. It just let you whip it. We can’t exactly cut it down, can we?"

[But it’s my food!]

Ghost Vine was extremely aggrieved.

It was all the Metasequoia’s fault!

The Metasequoia remained timid and hesitant, not daring to peek out.

"...When we go back to town, how about we catch some rats? We’ll catch a lot and make them your food reserve."

[All right.]

"..."

[Um...]

The Metasequoia cautiously began to speak.

Ghost Vine immediately whipped it again.

The fruits hanging from its branches fell one after another.

Lin Yun moved a little closer.

Ghost Vine immediately shrank and climbed onto her body.

"You can talk."

[Ah! You can understand me! That’s great!]

[Wow! I’ve finally met a human who can understand me! I’m so excited!]

The Metasequoia was overjoyed.

None of the humans who had passed by before could understand it.

It had called out to them for so long that it had eventually accepted the fact that humans couldn’t hear it.

That had made it feel terrible.

There was another Metasequoia nearby, just like itself, but the two trees were quite far apart.

When it discovered the other tree, it had called out for a long time before finally receiving a response.

Coincidentally, that tree was also a chatterbox.

But because they were so far apart, they had to shout loudly every time they wanted to talk.

Even though they were trees, shouting that loudly all the time had to be exhausting!

And now, it had finally encountered a human who could understand it.

Of course it was excited!

As for that vine...

Let’s forget about it for now.

It had just stolen the vine’s food, so it felt a little embarrassed talking to it.

It was afraid it might get whipped again.

"What do you want?"

Lin Yun crossed her arms.

"Or do you feel bad about stealing from Little Vine and want to make amends?"

She wanted to see what this Metasequoia had to say.

[Hehe... I didn’t mean to.]

[There just haven’t been any creatures passing by lately, and I was almost starving to death. Then it happened to pass by, so I couldn’t resist...]

The Metasequoia’s voice grew quieter and quieter under Ghost Vine’s threatening movements.

[But it’s okay! I know a place where you humans have the food you need!]

[I’ll tell you where it is, but can you play with me for a while? You can even hit me!]

Lin Yun:

"?"

Ghost Vine:

"?"

Tabby cat:

"?"

Mom, help! We’ve encountered a pervert!

Lin Yun hesitated.

Why did this Metasequoia seem so unreliable?

Could she really trust what it said?

[Oh! You believe me?]

[I was carefully raised and nurtured by you humans! Of course I remember all the good things you did for me!]

[I overheard a group of people hiding in that place not long ago. They said they would move there once the main force arrived.]

"Main force?"

For some reason, Lin Yun suddenly remembered the group of bastards who had captured the kittens earlier.

Could they be the ones hiding there?

"What did those people look like?"

"Were there thirteen of them? All men? And did some of them have scars?"

Although the description was somewhat vague, as long as the Metasequoia remembered them, Lin Yun could confirm whether they were the same people.

[Yes! Yes! There were thirteen of them!]

[I don’t remember what they looked like, but they were definitely all men!]
