Chapter 91: Take It All, Take Everything
Number 5 Yu Jiang: [Since everyone has no objections, shall we share intelligence in number order?]
This proposal received unanimous agreement from the crowd, and Yu Jiang didn’t have much to say.
How to share the intelligence was quite particular; she decided to reveal some real information first, continuing her timid persona.
[The main house door isn’t fully closed, unsure if there’s danger inside; just now two mutants went to the sheet metal house in the back.]
Number 2 Big Sister: [I’m hiding near the livestock breeding shed; these monsters seem to be following the bloody smell to find people. I just saw the one with the meteor hammer pass by; its foot seems a bit injured.]
Number 3 Leather Jacket: [I’m at the planting forest; two mutants are patrolling.]
Numbers 4 and 5 are together; they said they saw mutants take Number 7 player into the middle warehouse. The person is alive but in pretty bad shape, bound by steel wire with blades, hands and feet all bleeding from the cuts. The mutants looked especially happy and were even playing music.
Number 10 Uncle said he’s near the granary; the granary is locked, unsure if there’s anything inside.
Everyone shared their messages, and the farm layout seemed to piece together completely in their minds, but Yu Jiang didn’t dare trust any of them.
What could be confirmed: Currently, there are only 6 mutants on the farm; they can use simple tools, don’t have as much wits as normal people, and are extremely united.
The farm has a diesel generator; most facilities are broken, but a small part of the area still has electricity.
For example, the house for processing hunted corpses, where mutants are playing songs, very cheerfully rocking out.
The farm isn’t huge, and there aren’t many places to hide; might also run into traps and warning devices.
After more than ten minutes of intelligence exchange, there was no movement; obviously everyone was waiting for others to act first, to see who would make the first move.
As long as someone made some movement, attracting the mutants over, they could take the chance to go out and scavenge supplies.
Everyone’s hiding spots weren’t that comfortable; they were actually quite uncomfortable.
Numbers 4 and 5, a couple, were squatting on the tree; they saw a mutant holding a weapon, pushing a pile of bloody clothing with shoes thrown in, passing by, scaring them so much that cold sweat soaked their backs. A cold wind blew, making their scalps numb.
Lingering fear, hands also injured; they weren’t sure if there was dripping blood on the road.
The mutant would see them if it looked up; the two didn’t dare blink, their legs trembling.
Thinking of the player they parted with not long ago, now gutted open, empty chest cavity exposed to the air, and that eye turned into a bloody hole.
They not only saw the still-alive Number 7 player, but also the thoroughly dead Numbers 6 and 9 players stripped and butchered like livestock; the yard originally for slaughtering livestock was now a human slaughterhouse.
Number 3 Leather Jacket’s situation wasn’t much better; to avoid detection, he hid in the original composting area, the smell imaginable how stinging to the eyes.
Hands and feet numb, shielded by rotting trash to avoid detection; a huge rat passed by him, health value dropping due to the pungent stench, he didn’t dare move.
Time was already past 4 PM, sky unusually dark and gloomy, cold wind howling across the farm.
Lights came on in several houses, looking in the desolate wilderness like guiding lost travelers, making people feel warmth, food and drink.
In reality, anyone entering this shabby place would step on a couple of traps.
Yu Jiang’s hiding workroom wasn’t very safe either; mutants could return anytime.
She prepared to change places; the locations reported by the other players couldn’t be gone to, so she could only adventure around the side of the main house.
Yu Jiang pulled on her cotton clothes hood, tiptoed outward; with the previous experience of kicking a can, this time she walked very carefully.
Taking advantage of the rising wind, she twisted the old door handle, but this time it didn’t turn; the door lock was rusted and stuck, or maybe the mutants had locked it from outside with a small lock.
Some old-style door locks are like this: locked from inside can’t open from outside; similarly, locked from outside can’t open from inside.
Then she wouldn’t be polite, giving the mutants a little shock.
Crowbar in hand, nothing could trap a scavenger unafraid of the environment!
The mutants should be processing ingredients now, preparing dinner?
Yu Jiang held the crowbar, smiling as she not only salvaged the door, but also salvaged the mutant’s single bed.
Obtained worn wooden boards *5
Rusty iron blocks *5
This wasn’t all; she used urea bags to pack up the messy metal parts and diesel barrels on the ground, and dismantled the aluminum frame and aluminum panels from the ceiling!
Soon, the workroom was transformed into a bare shell room.
Yu Jiang nodded in satisfaction; Happy Farm, she finally felt the happiness!
One full urea sack only takes up one grid; great cost-effectiveness for scavenging.
Yu Jiang downed a Qi Replenishing Drink, reducing fatigue value, patted her hands, and left.
Sooner or later, she’d dismantle the entire farm!
She wanted to find the diesel generator’s location; the others probably wanted it too, and no one wanted to share with others.
Yu Jiang bent at the waist, moving cautiously yet swiftly; this thief-like feeling was still very tense, any movement making her heart race.
Mental resilience still needed training, she sighed inwardly.
Unlike Han Jiang Gu Ying who trekked the Amazon for survival challenges, Shi Xu who climbed Everest, went to the desert, with outdoor activity experience, better physical and mental qualities than ordinary people.
Passing the main house front yard, Yu Jiang took several decent-looking green plastic flower pots, gathered all the medicinal plants, and dug up two pots of soil.
The farm soil was more fertile than outside; look how well these medicinal herbs grew.
Unopened nutrient soil, sheep manure balls, watering cans piled in the corner, all packed into urea bags by Yu Jiang.
She really took and picked up everything.
Yu Jiang climbed onto the first floor outer balcony of the wooden house, squatting to look inside.
Warm yellow light on the open kitchen ceiling, but the light bulb too dirty, light dim and patchy.
Lots of nice-looking furniture, cabinets very exquisite.
Too bad; Yu Jiang didn’t dare use the tableware inside; these mutants eat people, who knows what these tableware have held, just thinking about it was disgusting.
Windows sealed shut, no problem; Yu Jiang directly salvaged the window frames, removed all the windows, and took the small ceramic flower pots by the window.
When footsteps descending stairs sounded inside the house, she immediately squatted back, crouching in the corner to listen carefully.
The other went to the kitchen outside, glanced around, then walked to the house door, opened it to the yard, expression momentarily stunned.
Felt like something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint it.
With the mutant’s intelligence, no way to think about what it meant that several ‘wild vegetables’ and flower pots were missing from the yard.
It dragged its deformed arm covered in bark-like scales toward the left side of the main house.
That was where Yu Jiang had been hiding; hearing footsteps, Yu Jiang half-squatted and moved behind the main house.
The two circled the wooden house like this, one looking brainless, the other sneaking like a dog.
By the time the mutant reached the dismantled window, Yu Jiang had already entered the house through the back yard door.
