Chapter 7: Identity: Scavenger
A person dressed in scrap stepped on the foot pedal and drove into a vehicle with two training wheels, a faded rain canopy, and a rusty little box hanging on it.
This was the upgraded pure human power version, a trailer living box, where you could put a bed inside, but materials were insufficient, so it was quite simple, with only a layer of dry grass laid inside, looking like a tin coffin.
“Hey, holy crap! Finally arrived!”
Gao You stopped the bicycle, looked around, a few days ago he was dressed cleanly, with outdoor gear, preparing to go mountain climbing and camping, who knew he ended up in this shabby place.
The foot pedal was almost smoking from stepping, and looking at him now, wind-battered and rain-soaked, his long pants were torn open by zombies, exposing his thighs.
Every day it was a desperate struggle, and he finally managed to arrive first at the service area!
Was he the first one to arrive?
His bicycle was parked in front, and at this moment he hadn’t noticed the inconspicuous corner in the rear, where a tricycle was parked.
Mainly, that tricycle was behind two abandoned cars that only had rusty iron frames left, looking so broken that unless you got close, you wouldn’t know it was a player’s vehicle.
Gao You was confident for less than half a minute, went into the convenience store for a trip and got a beating, he opened the public screen and spoke,
28-bar Bicycle: [Service area hot bath, 5 crystal coins for 5 minutes hot bath!]
Many people were replying.
[No, where is the service area? Where is the hot water? Why can’t I see it.]
[Same road, why do you have a service area!]
28-bar Bicycle: [I don’t know, just kept riding forward on the bike, then saw the service area, completing 200 km also gives a reward!]
Lightning Mage King: [Didn’t find energy, I pushed the wheelchair and walked for a day, just upgraded the wheelchair and added a foot pedal! Puffed and pedaled for another day, and you tell me novice period 200 km for a reward???]
Small Town Story: [You mean crystal coins can be used in the service area? Fuck, yesterday the guy who took my 100 crystal coins for one compressed biscuit and one bottle of water @Sicily, come out here!
I thought killing one zombie gives 100, who knew only the first zombie gives that much, how hard is it to earn 100 crystal coins!]
Iron Buttocks Hero: [Save it, this person is a scammer! Talked all pitiful, supplies were all scammed from my hands!]
With this said, a few more victims jumped out, everyone compared notes, several resentful people didn’t even know if the other was male or female.
Steamed Bun: [Iron Buttocks Hero, they all laugh at you, but you’re the funniest.]
Player7699: [@The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain, the puffball mushrooms on the road can heal 2 hp, you took two tools and a workbench from me for medicine that heals 10 hp, too much!]
Player7699: [You need to give me 3 more portions of medicine.]
With the Wind 220: [Already has all servers collection achievement, this bit of stuff probably isn’t an issue for you, this player is a good person, told us about healing potions on the road.]
Seeing someone speak up for him, Player7699 got even bolder,
[The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain, don’t play dead! Come out and give me an explanation! What collection big shot, probably got it by cheating and swindling!]
Yu Jiang just glanced at it and directly blocked.
She was busy scavenging supplies.
In the abandoned house with only half a wall left, there were two dust-covered preservation boxes in the faded cabinet, take them.
A bit regrettable in the bathroom, all toiletries in the collapsed cabinet were ruined, only one bag of unopened compressed facial wipes usable, take it.
In the back, 3-gallon plastic flower pots with trays, small cans of fertilizer, rusty gardening shovel, all taken.
After being blocked by Yu Jiang, that person couldn’t private message and kept posting on the public screen, causing quite a few people to denounce her.
Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy: [Puffball mushrooms on the road have side effects, using too many attracts petty people, you didn’t say a word, it’s not like others forced you to trade.
Wasn’t it you crying daddy shouting mommy everywhere begging to collect medicine? People willing to sell you medicine is already good.]
28-bar Bicycle: [Do you dare say, the big shot’s healing potion can also clear bleeding buff? You’re such a big person, can’t you bear the consequences of your own decisions?]
188 Male College: [What?! There’s healing 10 hp and clears bleeding status medicine? Big shot look at me, 188 Male College here begging for medicine!!!]
Lightning Mage King: [Big shot! Sell the medicine to me, Lightning Mage King begging for medicine!]
Player7699: [Are you all idiots, he quoted such a black-hearted price, and you’re still begging for medicine!]
188 Male College: [Bro, you got the medicine by begging yourself, now you won’t let us live? You know in this real survival game where you can actually die, what it means to get this kind of medicine?]
Yu Jiang lifted her head from the ruins, [If there is more medicine later, priority to you all.]
These few had spoken up for her after all, Yu Jiang wouldn’t expose that she still had quite a bit of medicine, could express stance first.
With her words, not only the participating players were happy, many lurkers also came out to ask what supplies she wanted, as long as not too outrageous, could trade.
Lightning Mage King: [Great, it’s healing potion, we’re saved!]
[Aren’t you a psychiatrist? Can’t you make medicine?]
Facing the question, Lightning Mage King was righteous,
[Guess why I went to the mental hospital? Not the traditional Chinese medicine hospital? Besides, the medicinal plants in this game seem off, licked one and got poisoned bad, shat all the way and got facial paralysis, what did I say?]
Yu Jiang holding a wooden stick stained with black blood, hunched back circling behind the zombie, aimed and stabbed wildly.
This wasn’t a zombie, this was money! Crystal coins!
Had to say, zombies in the city were rich, dropped supplies.
An old flashlight, and 50 crystal coins.
After dealing with the monster at the door, Yu Jiang used one healing potion, happily went up to the second floor via the external stairs.
The door had a lock, looking rust-spotted, clanging in the wind.
Yu Jiang looked at the gradually darkening sky, decisively picked up a stone and smashed it open.
First time doing this, she was still a bit nervous.
Inside the house was ordinary residential furnishing.
Yu Jiang was fast, found in the house a large bag of unopened toilet paper, a set of brand new fresh four-piece bedding set in a dustproof bag, a outdoor folding chair.
And a bag of salt unknown if expired, no matter, unopened salt actually has no shelf life.
She didn’t open the refrigerator, could smell the rotting stench rushing to the crown of the head just walking by, mixed with the moldy smell in the house.
Could imagine what disastrous scene was inside.
Unfortunately the solid wood bed and mattress were moldy, only in the room with bunk beds, found a down quilt with air vacuum-packed.
Also a plastic medicine box, medicine was bad but the box could still be used.
Luckily backpack space expanded by 10 slots, otherwise these things really hard to take.
Finally, Yu Jiang even took the broken coffee machine, hair dryer, breakfast machine.
