Wang Guodong was very considerate and immediately put up several different kinds of beast meat for Shen Qingyao to choose from.
She selected a Mortal-Tier Grade 4 deer. In exchange, she gave him ten bottles of Basic Nutrient Solution, along with a large amount of lettuce and adzuki beans, plus two tomatoes.
“Thanks. If I have comrades who need vegetables, can I have them trade with you too?”
Comrades?
Wang Guodong’s identity was indeed far from ordinary!
“Sure!”
The more customers, the better!
One of the comrades Wang Guodong recommended turned out to be Qin Lie—the person whose friend request she hadn’t been able to send earlier!
No wonder!
Both of them were able to make it onto the rankings!
Qin Lie was also a man of few words. The first thing he asked was:
“I heard you’re selling Basic Nutrient Solution?”
Shen Qingyao really had none left today!
She couldn’t make any more today either!
“I’m out for today. I can trade you some tomorrow. Do you want lettuce and adzuki beans?”
“Yes.”
The other party agreed without even the slightest hesitation!
Qin Lie put up a huge sea fish. Shen Qingyao took a look and saw that it was Mortal-Tier Grade 3. Although the quality was a little lower, it would be nice to have something different for a change!
She put up one hundred heads of lettuce and around one thousand adzuki beans. In the end, feeling like she might be taking advantage of him, she added another ten tomatoes.
Each tomato weighed nearly two jin, so what she gave him was more than enough to match his hundred-jin sea fish!
There was no helping it. Starting today, she had noticed that her appetite had suddenly increased dramatically.
Previously, she could eat just once every few days. Now, she ate three meals a day, consuming dozens of jin of meat at every meal—and it still didn’t feel like enough!
She had already eaten one-third of yesterday’s wolf!
After the trade was completed, she browsed the public channel again and found everyone discussing the number of survivors.
She glanced at the upper-right corner.
Sure enough, the number 2,000 had changed!
There were only 1,728 survivors left!
In other words, in just a single day, nearly three hundred people had already died!
Then once night came, wouldn’t even more people die?
What she didn’t know was that several survivors from Zhonghua had also died.
And every time one of them died, Zhonghua would suffer a natural disaster!
Sometimes it was a tsunami.
Sometimes an earthquake.
There had even been a volcanic eruption!
Likewise, every reward or achievement they received was also reflected in the real world.
For example, thanks to Shen Qingyao’s achievements, tiny patches of green plants had begun growing across the ground in Hongshan Village since yesterday!
And starting today, greenery had begun sprouting from the soil throughout the entire county of Anyun!
All of this had happened silently, which was why it wasn’t discovered until today.
“Th-Those are plants!”
“Oh my God! I never thought I’d live to see plants again!”
“Help! Where did these things come from?”
“I heard that everyone in the capital has become physically stronger! Many people who were on the verge of death suddenly recovered completely!”
“That’s not all! I heard that edible fish have appeared in the Western Sea!”
“I heard that a small country has been wiped out!”
“What? How could that happen?”
“Their only survivor died today!”
“I have reliable insider information. Apparently, the location chosen by a survivor for materialization will receive blessings! On the other hand, if that survivor dies, that location will be destroyed!”
“No way! Doesn’t that mean Anyun County is in danger?”
“Bullshit! Our 666 Boss is so powerful! How could we possibly be in danger?”
The people of Anyun County were all discussing the matter.
The entire county was caught between hope and fear.
Meanwhile, Shen Qingyao was looking through the discussions on the public channel.
The influencer named Li Li was dead!
Apparently, before she died, she had even posted in the public channel, saying that she had met the big-shot ranked first and finally wouldn’t have to suffer from hunger anymore!
Then, not long after—
She died.
Her profile picture disappeared completely!
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
So…
You could kill other survivors in this game too?
Even the tomato in Shen Qingyao’s hand no longer tasted good!
She was in a bad mood, and the sky had grown dark. Since she didn’t dare go outside, she could only busy herself in the fields.
“Awooo—!”
A miserable howl suddenly rang out.
Something had triggered the traps she had placed behind the house!
Shen Qingyao was so frightened that she abandoned her hoe and scrambled back into the house!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The wolf pack had come again!
And this time, they had approached from behind the house!
If she hadn’t deliberately placed several traps behind the house today, they would have ambushed her!
Normally, they didn’t come until close to midnight.
But today, they had arrived as soon as darkness fell!
Wolves truly were extremely vengeful animals!
And cunning, too!
Because she had been worried that the wolves would come, she had stayed just two steps away from the door. The moment she heard any movement, she immediately ran inside!
By the time the wolves began clawing at the fence, her presence had already disappeared!
Therefore, even after they destroyed the fence, they still couldn’t break through the defenses of her Level 4 shelter!
The wolf pack howled inside her yard.
Shen Qingyao’s face turned completely pale with fear!
At first, she secretly peeked through the window.
But then—
A huge wolf’s face suddenly appeared outside it.
Its eyes glowed an eerie green.
Filled with cruel killing intent, they stared into the room.
She had no doubt that if this were merely Blue Star technology, the window would have shattered from a single blow!
She didn’t dare take the risk.
She crouched beneath the window, pressing her hand tightly over her mouth, afraid to make even the slightest sound.
Yet tears silently rolled down her face.
She was just an ordinary girl!
She had no brilliant mind, no extraordinary fighting skills. She was just a weak person who had nearly starved to death in the apocalypse!
The system said that a Level 4 shelter could withstand attacks below the Spirit Tier!
The system had also said that everything within the fence was a safe zone!
But the fence had still been broken, and the wolf pack had entered her yard!
That proved that not everything the system said could be trusted!
So could the wolves break through the defenses of her Level 4 shelter?
What was she supposed to do?
The wolf pack lingered outside for a long time before finally leaving!
Only when Shen Qingyao could no longer hear any movement outside did she finally let out a sigh of relief.
It was only then that she realized her entire body was drenched in cold sweat!
And at that moment, she finally made up her mind.
She was going to kill that entire pack of wolves!
For no other reason than to finally get a good night’s sleep!
With a goal in mind, her spirits immediately lifted. She sent a message to Li Hanyue:
“Do you have any poison?”
After thinking about it, she sent the same message to Wang Guodong:
“Do you have any poison?”
Both of them replied with question marks.
Shen Qingyao said bitterly:
“There’s a wolf pack near where I live. I can’t beat them!”
Li Hanyue replied sympathetically:
“No. But I have a kind of tree sap with an anesthetic effect. Do you want it?”
An anesthetic effect?
Better than nothing!
“Yes! What do you want in exchange?”
“Just give me some vegetables. I have quite a lot of this stuff!”
Shen Qingyao readily made the trade!
Wang Guodong, however, only replied:
“Wait a moment.”
About ten minutes later, he sent her a whole pile of mushrooms!
When Shen Qingyao saw the colorful pile of mushrooms with unknown levels of toxicity, her eyes widened!
This was exactly the poison she needed!
Her method of making poison was simple and crude.
She put the pile of mushrooms and the anesthetic tree sap into a stone bowl and began grinding them vigorously, mashing everything into a paste before diluting it with water.
She didn’t dare go outside tonight.
But tomorrow, during the day…
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she looked outside with a cold smile.
It was time for those wolves to experience her retaliation!
