Chapter 561 Wasteland Scavenging Chronicle (5)
"Forget-Me-Not, what's the point of digging so many snow caves?" Wu Xie asked curiously.
Wangyou glanced at the man and said, "It's prepared for the strange beasts."
Are strange beasts really that scary?
"Tearing three of you apart in a moment is no problem."
"Naive, you should work on your skills," the fat man said as he helped dig the snow cave.
"I'm training right now," Wu Xie said defiantly, adding that his skills had improved considerably by now.
The group had become quite familiar with each other while digging the snow cave, and when Wangyou was in a good mood, she would chat with them a bit more.
"I'll treat you to instant noodles today, a specialty of Wushanju," the fat man said with a smile, opening their backpacks.
"Instant noodles?" Wangyou asked, somewhat puzzled.
"This is it, just pour hot water over it and you can eat it." The fat man said, taking out the last of the instant noodles.
This was the first time Wangyou had ever seen noodles made so easily. She watched with bated breath as the fat man prepared them, and then they were ready to eat in just five minutes.
After carefully finishing a bowl of instant noodles, Wangyou was clearly not full, but her backpack was also empty, containing only some unfamiliar items.
"Do you know how to make this noodle dish?"
"I can think about it," the fat man said after a moment's thought.
"If you can make it, you can preserve it for a while. After the beast tide is over, I can take you to the purchasing station so you can temporarily store your points on my personal computer. I will also solve your personal computer bracelet problem later." Wangyou had shown her the utmost sincerity.
You should know that this is the outermost area; unregistered individuals here are practically no different from walking food.
"Okay, it's a deal. Fatty, I'll go think about it now."
Wangyou was clearly pleased to hear this, and then she took out several bags of flour and rice, as well as a lot of meat and seasonings.
"Girl, do you have a portable space?"
"You mean the Space Token, right? You can buy it as long as you have points."
"Alright, I'll go figure out how to make instant noodles. There's also some compressed rations in that backpack, you can try some too." The fat man handed his backpack to Wangyou.
Wangyou accepted it without hesitation.
These things all looked delicious. Wangyou wasn't full to begin with, so she took out the ham, luncheon meat, and compressed rations.
Then I opened them one by one and ate them all.
After finishing her meal, Wangyou wondered if she could make it too, so that when they left, she wouldn't have to take nutrient solutions every day.
The fat man, who was studying the broth, felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by someone.
Fortunately, Wangyou knew her limits and knew not to push people too hard all at once. However, she still secretly remembered this matter. Anyway, even if the snow stopped, she wouldn't have to worry about these people not coming to her for help.
In the middle of the night, Wangyou, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened her eyes, quickly put on her protective suit, and walked out of the yard.
The snow in the sky had stopped sometime ago, replaced by a heavy, dark blanket of snow.
The five fat men also came out one after another, it seems that these people have a strong intuition for danger.
"The beast tide is here, get ready to fight!" Wangyou said, then grabbed his weapon, a brick, and left the courtyard.
Fatty and the others were also on high alert, following Wangyou out the door.
The group then realized that the inside and outside of the courtyard were like two completely different worlds. Outside, the roars of beasts were deafening, and just hearing them made their souls tremble.
The snow cave that Wangyou had painstakingly dug a few days earlier also came in handy, as strange beasts descended from the sky and rampaged through the dug snow cave.
Wangyou didn't have time to analyze what kind of strange beast it was. She just hit it with a brick whenever it bumped into her, one brick for each beast, like playing whack-a-mole. Once she had accumulated a certain number, she put them into her spatial ring. It would be too messy to put them directly into her Peach Blossom Space.
Compared to the ease on Wangyou's side, Fatty and his group were in a chaotic mess. Even Zhang Qilin and Hei Xiazi, who had the highest combat power, couldn't possibly deal with multiple alien beasts at the same time, let alone spare a hand to rescue people.
So Wu Xie, being the weakest, was jumping around a bit. If you said he was lucky, the beasts chasing him were of a high level; if you said he was unlucky, he managed to narrowly dodge them every time.
Wangyou had no intention of going up to help. Although the fat man could cook delicious food, which she also liked, she would never let anyone use food to control her. She had lived this long by eating nutrient solution.
Besides, countless people die in the beast tides every year. If she tried to save every single person she saw, she would be dead long ago, and her body would probably be devoured.
So, Wangyou stopped looking in that direction and focused on hitting the strange beast with the brick. Gradually, she could no longer see those people.
Feeling the vibrations above, Wangyou estimated that the snow cave wouldn't last much longer, so he collected all the monster corpses and quickly retreated home.
Then I saw that those people were still alive! Zhang Qilin had two monster corpses next to him, as did Hei Xiazi. Wang Pangzi and Wu Xie were much worse off; they didn't have any and were covered in injuries. As for Xie Yuchen, he actually killed two monsters.
Although the level isn't high, the points earned from the acquisition market are enough to buy a smart brain bracelet.
"Since you're not dead, get up and run! This place is going to collapse!" Wangyou shouted and ran. It was already very kind of her to give a warning.
Exhausted and collapsing to the ground, the five people didn't care about the beasts anymore and quickly dragged their own corpses away. However, they soon discovered that the area behind them had begun to collapse. They couldn't worry about the beasts anymore; their priority was to survive and get out of there.
He immediately threw away the beast's corpse in his hand and stepped into Wangyou's courtyard at the last moment. When Wangyou saw them enter, she immediately activated the highest-level formation in the courtyard, a formation that combined hunting and defense.
Then the group watched helplessly as one enormous beast after another ran overhead and landed, only to be swiftly caught by Wangyou.
After this wave of beasts subsided, it was already evening of the next day. Wangyou had reaped a great harvest, while the others were too shocked to do anything.
After doing all this, Wangyou turned on his personal computer and checked the latest news. The official announcement said that the beast tide had passed, and the acquisition station would need two days to rebuild. They would release a notice once the site was completed.
"The beast tide is over. You can go out and see if you can still find the beasts you killed." After saying that, Wangyou began to check the various facilities in the courtyard.
She reinforced all the formations again. Luckily, she had the foresight and was well-educated; otherwise, her little courtyard would probably be gone after the beast tide. Now, it seems like a cause for celebration.
After inspecting and reinforcing the equipment, Wangyou replaced the beast cores with a new batch. While other things could be skimped on, this was something that couldn't be cut back on.
