Chapter 92: Happy Farm First Kill
The house is messy with things scattered, domestic trash, patina-covered blankets and clothing casually left on the floor, but judging from the original decoration, the farm master should be someone who values quality of life highly.
The stairs are all large walnut wood panels, with a walnut wood chest of drawers at the corner; this place has been ravaged by mutants beyond recognition.
Anyway, they can’t use them either, recycle, must recycle!
Yu Jiang raised the crowbar again.
Chest of drawers recycled high-quality walnut wood boards *30. Yu Jiang looked at the house in front of her, unable to suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth.
Heaven knows, it’s hard to even cobble together four walls from the houses encountered outside, let alone so many good things!
She might not be very good at fighting, but she’s absolutely capable when it comes to gathering supplies!
Not only that, she also set traps inside the house, maximizing sneaky player behavior.
Yu Jiang quickly recycled the walnut wood desk and bookcase in the room, along with some paper and pen.
Here, she also found a photograph of the farm master, which didn’t match those mutants.
When Doomsday arrived, the farm master’s family could have lived well relying on the farm, but one day people from outside came in and brought disaster to them.
One of them mutated in body and became the current mutant, and the farm master’s family was killed or treated as food.
Yu Jiang continued searching the rooms. The second floor had a master bedroom and two guest bedrooms, well-decorated but severely damaged, too dirty inside, so Yu Jiang didn’t go in and headed straight to the attic.
The situation here was still decent, just a bit messy, and there was a storage room.
The snack shelves were empty, the tea shelves had toppled, but she could still pick up two unopened cans of tea, a cardboard box piled with paper towels, a large pack of masks, gauze, a bag of vegetable seeds, and most importantly, a Level Four Water Collector!
The Water Collector was placed by the game system, not an item belonging to normal cognition.
Yu Jiang had gone to great lengths to gather parts one by one for a Level 2 Water Collector, but here was a complete Level Four Water Collector right away.
It can produce 2L of drinking water and 6L of domestic water daily, more than double that of Level 2.
Yu Jiang happily collected the items, while recycling the solid wood floor and stairs in the house, pondering the next plan.
On such a cold day, surviving outside for a night without closing her eyes, not knowing when she’d be caught by mutants, it was better to take the initiative.
She couldn’t beat the Meteor Hammer or Fire Axe ones, so running was right; she could target the Harpoon Gun and Crossbow Bolt mutants.
When she heard movement on the stairs, Yu Jiang hid behind the door.
As soon as the mutant returned, it widened its squinted eyes, looking shocked and confused at the home where even the floor had been pried up, anxiously baring its teeth and letting out a strange cry, seemingly wanting to find helpers.
Yu Jiang took advantage of its inattention, approached from behind, first smashing a stone into it, then stabbing two bayonets.
Critical Hit effects triggered, yet it only took half a tube of health; defense was too high. Fortunately, the hallucinogenic powder worked on mutants, controlling it for two seconds.
The mutant swung its body in pain, raising the Harpoon Gun to strike Yu Jiang, but she retreated, luring it into the trap. The blade steel wire instantly strangled its neck, then she sprinkled more hallucinogenic powder, followed by several more stabs.
The mutant had only 20 Health Points left. Yu Jiang picked up the Harpoon Gun, pulled the trigger—this thing was heavy and inaccurate, but with the target trapped by the steel wire, it was easy.
The sharp harpoon pierced through the mutant’s chest, finally killing it thoroughly!
Yu Jiang let out a long breath, pulled out the harpoon, reset it, and stored it in the grid.
If the mutant hit her with a weapon once, she couldn’t even heal back up, while she had to go all-out with sneak attacks and traps to take down just one.
Earlier, her back had hit the fence, feeling like her bones were shattering; luckily she was wearing defense-boosting clothing, otherwise she might not even be able to crawl up now.
Yu Jiang first used a Primary Healing Potion, restoring her Health Points to 90, then quickly ran away.
The earlier commotion was too loud, and that mutant’s cry was clearly signaling others.
After killing one mutant, the rewards were issued, still three cards to choose from; Yu Jiang directly selected the first one.
[Player has accumulated rewards: Crystal Coins +100, fresh lamb from the farm *10 lbs, processed cashmere 200g, to be issued together after the instance ends.]
Yu Jiang only glanced at it. She had just run out to the backyard of the main house, preparing to go to the Sheet Metal House, when she encountered her old nemesis Meteor Hammer at the corner.
It was quite awkward.
Seeing the enemy, eyes spitting fire; the Meteor Hammer Mutant raised both hands to smash down.
Relying on higher Agility than the opponent, Yu Jiang barely dodged; the nearby sheet metal was smashed through, showing how terrifying the Strength was.
By now, the sky was already very dark; she bolted and ran, using the cover of night to hide into the simple house.
At this moment, the other players were also moving around the vast farm.
No. 2 Big Sister: [What just happened? Why did the monster in the main house suddenly cry out?]
No. 3 Leather Jacket: [No idea. I’m injured, potion on cooldown, what a huge loss— I just broke off a few corn! My Attack is at 40, and I still can’t beat it.]
Broke half, met the mutant’s ugly face, then got hit with a club— who can understand that feeling.
Should’ve known not to come to this crappy instance; one Healing Potion is worth way more than a few corn!
It was also at this time that the instance announcement appeared.
[No. 1 Player has killed monster ‘Mutant’, achieving first kill in instance ‘Happy Farm’. Everyone, keep it up and continue striving!]
No. 4 Lingering Fear: [??? Isn’t that the first kill?! No. 1 isn’t that gathering Manufacturing Player girl? And she said she’s not strong?]
No. 3 Leather Jacket: [Damn! Level Four Vehicle, first kill, this is a Big Shot! I actually believed No. 1 really relied on good luck to pick up stuff, level up her vehicle.]
I only know of two female players in the top ten rankings: The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain and Life is Like a Play. No. 1 Big Shot, which one are you?]
No. 8 Short-haired Woman: [Help! Save me quick! I’m in the Sheet Metal House on the left side near the fence, this is the warehouse with some supplies. No. 1 Big Shot, as long as you come save me, I don’t want the supplies. Didn’t everyone say we’d cooperate? You definitely won’t abandon me, right?]
No, she would.
Who knows if No. 8 is telling the truth or lying; she could find supplies herself, no need to risk it for that bit.
Yu Jiang hadn’t expected the instance to announce monster kill info; now she stood out among the plastic teammates.
There are never few people wanting to kill leaderboard players; everyone is in the same boat, but this boat can flip anytime.
Yu Jiang only said: [The Meteor Hammer Mutant keeps chasing me relentlessly, my Healing Potion is on cooldown too, I’m barely holding on myself, how could I get over there.]
Those who could survive this long all had skills, including No. 2 Big Sister who seemed honest and timid at first.
Earlier her leg was injured, but she never sent a distress message or revealed her exact location.
And No. 10 Uncle, neither of them spoke now, probably taking advantage of the chaos to act.
Those two were incredibly patient.
