He didn't want to think about the worst. Xiaojia clearly thought that the smell was normal, so why did he still feel uneasy?
Is it because the stench in the air was the precursor to the horrific Knox County zombie incident in the movie "Project Zombie" that turned 35 people into zombies as mentioned in the comments?
No, very uneasy.
Although he might be thinking too much, he was very worried that he was not thinking too much, but too little.
"Xiao Jia, let's go to town after dinner."
"it is good."
Without asking why, Gabriel agreed softly.
Chapter 3: Unfounded Anxiety
2023, April 6.
The 150th day of the first crossing and the 28th day of the second crossing.
In the small notebook, Shima Rin recorded the time they traveled through and today's date.
After doing all this, she went to help Shinonome and Nadeshiko expand their cabin in the woods.
Because the house was too small, before this, except Dongyun, there were always two people who slept in the bed and two people who slept in the tent.
It was only June and the nights were not cold, so sleeping in a tent was no problem, but when the weather turned cold, sleeping in a tent in winter might kill people. Therefore, they not only had to expand the cabin as soon as possible, but also build a warehouse to store firewood and food.
More than half a month ago, they went to Raspberry Town several times and bought a lot of supplies. Some of these supplies, such as sugar, rice, and salt, were placed in the hut, while some other supplies, such as canned food, bacon, and medical supplies, were sorted and packed and stacked under the awning.
Because of the stench in Raspberry Town and seeing the discussions in the barrage, Dongyun suspected that a zombie crisis would break out in the world.
But it seemed like he was overthinking it. After the sanitation workers returned to work, the townspeople (humorously) protested, and then the police began to fine people who urinated and defecated in public, the stench in Raspberry Town disappeared.
"Tell me, am I being too pessimistic?"
During the break, Dongyun sat on the roof that had not yet been built, holding his chin with one hand, looking at Shima Rin and Kagamihara Nadeshiko who were cooking below, and said.
"Either we're worried about a zombie crisis, or alien invasions, or ghosts, werewolves, or vampires in this world."
"Xiao Yun, you may not be able to adapt to the peaceful life you have suddenly led. It's like, it's like you have some kind of syndrome."
Kamihara Nadeshiko thought hard but couldn't think of the word she wanted to say.
"Post-war syndrome?"
Shima Rin asked.
"Yes, yes, it's post-war psychological syndrome. Xiaoyun, maybe you have lived in the wild for too long and are not used to the current daily life."
"is that so……"
Dongyun looked up at the sky.
He didn't feel that he was not adapting to his current life. On the contrary, he was enjoying this ordinary and real life.
But their animation "Survival War" is still on the air, and their life of expanding the house, improving the camp, stockpiling supplies, exploring the woods, occasionally going deep into the woods to hunt, playing in the river, going to the town to watch a movie, and shopping is obviously not in line with the name of the animation.
"Why are you worrying about the werewolves and vampires when I'm here? They won't be able to run away even if they see me."
Gabriel's voice came from below Dongyun where he couldn't see.
"And the zombies and aliens you mentioned. We live in the mountains and have stockpiled so many things. You bought seeds and fertilizers, and there are many things in the forest. We can live a secluded life in the mountains. If you feel unsafe, we can move further inside. Anyway, this is not that island, and there are no monsters in the mountains."
Gabriel came out of the house.
She looked up at Dongyun on the roof and really didn't understand what he was worried about.
Although her mana was running low due to various spells, especially the use of the magic of movement to move supplies, Dongyun could replenish her mana. It took half a year to donate blood, but it didn't take that long to donate blood, and she could squeeze out a lot of it in just one week of recuperation.
If it is not necessary, forget it. It will hurt Xiaoyun's body too much. If they only rely on energy, they will not take the risk. Her magic power is more than enough.
"What you said seems to make sense."
Dongyun touched his chin, feeling that he seemed to have thought too much.
With the invincible Xiao Jia around, he had nothing to worry about, and he had stockpiled supplies in preparation for a rainy day.
If a crisis really breaks out, such as a zombie crisis or an alien invasion, humans will be able to survive more or less. However, if the sun is about to go out or if there are extinction events such as the Younger Dryas, the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, and the Carnian Flood Event, then they will have no good solution.
We can only wait and see if the people in this world can come up with a "Wandering Earth Plan" to create a Noah's Ark or a shelter against nuclear bombs and a cryogenic hibernation chamber that can keep people in hibernation for 200 years. Otherwise, they should study how to travel back to the deserted island world.
Although the deserted island world is very dangerous, if an extinction event occurs on Earth, the deserted island world will become safe.
Night, dinner time.
Today Dongyun showed off his skills and made some home-cooked dishes.
"It smells so good, rice, I want to eat the rice crust!"
Gabriel opened the lid of the rice pot, and Kaguyahara Nadeshiko smelled the aroma of the rice and began to drool.
The rice looked very well cooked, and the crispy rice crust inside must be delicious. Combined with the fragrant food, sweet drinks, and wild raspberries picked in the woods, she felt like she could eat ten big bowls of it.
"Okay, okay, I'll serve it to you. Give me your basin."
"Xiao Jia, this is a bowl, not a basin."
"Your bowl is bigger than the four of us, and you still say it's not a basin."
"That's also a bowl. Young people nowadays really don't know anything."
"Don't act like an old lady."
The conversation between Gabriel and Kagamihara Nadeshiko amused Shinonome and Shima Rin who were standing beside them, and the barrage of comments were also amused.
【laugh】
【233333333】
[It is indeed a bowl, but this bowl is usually not used for rice, but for vegetables and soup.]
[I use this big bowl to hold pickled fish at home]
[I'm greedy again. You guys are getting better and better at eating. You're really going to become a food show.]
[I also like to eat rice crust, which is crispy and can be eaten as a snack, but soaking it in soup or chicken soup is even more delicious]
[This rice cooked with fire smells delicious]
[Eating so well, will I have a stomach upset tomorrow or get hit by a dump truck?]
[Can't he just get his intestines turned upside down and then get hit to death by a dump truck? ]
【Auspicious words in advance, right?】
Dongyun saw the barrage, smiled and said nothing.
When he eats, he always imitates those "auspicious words" that make him murderous, causing the audience to also say murderous words.
However, he is different from Sha Ge. The latter lives as a homeless person, while he lives an idyllic life in the forest with beautiful girls. Moreover, Sha Ge's good friend Lao Lang is gone, but his little friends Xiao Jia, Fuzi and Rin-chan will probably stay with him for the rest of his life.
After serving the food, pouring the drinks and arranging the fruits, the four of them began to eat happily with the words "I'm eating".
While eating, Dongyun asked Gabriel a question.
"Xiao Jia, if a comet hits the earth, can you push the comet back if your magic power can be fully restored?"
"No."
Jiabaili immediately answered.
After a pause, she raised her thumb, stuck out her tongue and said proudly: "Although I can't push the comet back, if I have the horn of destruction, I can destroy all life on Earth before the comet hits the Earth."
"Who needs your ability? Can't you just destroy the comet?"
"Sorry, can't do it."
"Then give me mugwort!"
Chapter 4: A Trip to Campbell Mountain
[Player: Dongyun]
【Sex: Male】
【Age: 17】
[Occupation: Thief]
[Features: Brave, Spearman, Archer, Fisherman, Born Unlucky, Arthropod Killer, Natural Born Beast, Fighting Instinct, Grass Walker, Eye Destroyer, Reptile Killer]
[Abilities: Level 1 Construction, Level 1 Swimming, Level 1 Cooking, Level 1 Perception, Level 1 Medical, Level 2 Aiming, Level 2 Crafting, Level 2 Traps, Level 2 Searching, Level 2 Hunting, Level 2 Logging, Level 2 Wall Climbing, Level 3 Lock Picking,]
At night, Dongyun lay on the bed, looking at his personal interface.
He really didn't expect that the "identity and occupation card" he won as a reward for surviving for 30 days would be a thief. Although this "identity and occupation card" has various identities, including FBI agents and CIA agents, he didn't expect that his luck was so bad that he would be drawn as a thief.
This "identity occupation card" not only allows him to have the profession of thief, but also allows him to truly have a legal identity as a thief.
It sounds a bit strange, but what it means is that he is no longer an illegal immigrant. He has a legal status in the United States. He can choose to become an American or an international student from another country in the United States. If he does not want a legal status, he can continue to be a homeless person, or he can strengthen himself and choose an illegal status to become a wanted criminal.
As long as he wants, he can instantly become a five-star good citizen.
Once he goes to town and is recognized by the police, he will be able to experience authentic American Iai.
Naturally, Dongyun chose a legal identity and became a thief who often stole but was never arrested.
The thief profession gave him level 2 wall-climbing and level 3 lock-picking. If he knew it was inappropriate, he would have wanted to go to the town right now to try out his lock-picking skills.
Next, it’s time to complete new tasks.
[Survival requirement (basic): Hunt a coyote]
[Completion Reward: "Collection of Traps" (Part 1)]
[Survival requirement (basic): Hunt a white-tailed deer]
[Completion Reward: "Guide to Edible Woodland Plants"]
[Survival requirement (basic): Hunt a brown bear]
[Completion Reward: 1 Moon]
[Survival requirement (advanced): Survive for 30 days]
[Completion Reward: Identity Occupation Card]
[Survival Requirements (Advanced): Harvest three crops]
[Completion Reward: Magic Seeds x 10]
[Survival Requirement (Ultimate): Choose Your Path]
[Completion Reward: Minecraft Power Fragment]
They have been crossing for more than a month. During this month, Dongyun has completed many basic survival requirements and obtained a lot of camping equipment, including trekking poles, binoculars, walkie-talkies and outdoor sports watches.
And today he also completed the task of exploring the woods and gained the "Grass Walker" trait.
He thought it would take him a long time to explore before he could complete this task, but he didn't expect that their forest was separated from other forests on the mountain by rivers, meadows and bushes.
Therefore, when he walked up the mountain today and walked out of the jungle again, his mission was accomplished, and the "Grass Walker" feature allowed him to walk on the grass as if it were flat ground, and he could walk very fast. Even if it was a steep mountain road, as long as there was grass on it and he could step on the grass, he could easily control it.
This new "identity and occupation card" is probably specially designed for girls by the system.
Dongyun saw that the advanced survival had the requirement of "survive for 30 days" and the reward of "identity occupation card", and felt that this reward was specially prepared for Xiaojia, Fuzi, Rin-chan and others.
Because his system unlocked the team system, although he could not see the girls' personal interfaces, he could redeem characteristics, blueprints and props for the girls.
When he got the "Identity Occupation Card", he found that this thing did not directly affect him like the blueprint and characteristics, but appeared in his "backpack" with only one empty space. He could use this prop for himself, as well as for Xiaojia and the others.
However, is this feature of the system coming too late?
They don't seem to be able to use this function. Not to mention that he doesn't have enough points himself, and in this world, this country is still peaceful, and he doesn't seem to need to redeem characteristics for Xiaojia, Nadeshiko, and Rin-chan. But since the system has issued this kind of reward that is obviously for the team to use, he still has to do it.
Just survive for 30 days, take it easy.
Living in the mountains, they didn't encounter any threats at all. Even the brown bears that the system required them to hunt didn't exist in this mountain. This made him plan to go on a long journey to hunt a brown bear in a place where there were brown bears. After all, a bright moon still made him very envious.
