Chapter 18 Raider Camp
Scrambled Eggs glanced at Li Yuan, slightly surprised, and asked, "Where have you been? I haven't seen you all day?"
Since he came to Wasteland Online, Li Yuan would hand over his prey to him every time he returned from a hunt so that he could gut, skin, and butcher it. The two became familiar with each other.
"Hehe, I had some other things to do today, so there was no hunting." Li Yuan was in a good mood and urged with a smile, "Hurry up, what else do you have to eat? I'm so hungry I'm about to have low blood sugar."
Scrambled Eggs flipped through the pots and pans around him and said:
"If you had come any later, it might have really been gone."
"Now, there's a bowl of barley porridge, two yams, and five pounds of venison left."
The barley porridge tastes somewhat like mung bean soup without any sweetness; it's good for filling your stomach but doesn't have much flavor.
Yam horn potatoes are a root vegetable that tastes a bit like potatoes and is shaped like goat horns. They are rich in carbohydrates and, when boiled in salt water and drizzled with soy sauce, taste very much like mashed potatoes.
As for the venison, it came from mutated reindeer that had been hunted previously.
This creature is about the size of a regular horse, and its meat is much tastier than that of a mutated hyena.
Upon hearing that there was still so much food, Li Yuan's eyes immediately lit up: "I'll take it all!"
With the game's updates, the Vault's economic system has also been reformed.
The currency currently in circulation consists of copper and silver coins, with face values of 1 and 10 respectively.
The original contribution points are no longer used as currency, but have been incorporated into the "Honor System" to exchange for status and improve privileges in the shelter.
Nowadays, because everyone in the shelter has work to do and money to pay for, the communal meals that were once provided for free have been replaced by meals that everyone pays for.
Therefore, as long as it doesn't cause others to go hungry, no one will care how much food you buy.
At this time, most players have already eaten, so even if Li Yuan buys all the food, there won't be any problem.
After paying, Li Yuan swallowed the two horned potatoes in a few bites, and then began to enjoy the stir-fried venison, occasionally taking a sip of barley porridge.
Suddenly, the players in the distance started making a commotion for some reason.
Li Yuan looked up and saw that Garbage-kun, the lizard man, had run in from outside, covered in blood.
His body was covered with visible bite marks and gunshot wounds. Although some wounds had healed, many were still bleeding and gaping open.
"Holy crap?"
"Dude, what's wrong with you?!"
A group of players rushed forward to inquire, and even the administrator, Shuguang, came over.
Ignoring everyone else, Garbage King approached the manager, panting heavily, and said:
"My lord, I've discovered the raiders' camp!"
"About 2 kilometers north of the abandoned construction site, and about 3 to 4 kilometers from here, there used to be a tire factory!"
Because of the previous encounter with raiders along the elevated road leading out of the city to the north, Dawn gave Garbage-kun, a different player, a separate mission to investigate whether there were any raider strongholds in that direction.
And clearly, his fears came true; Garbage King did indeed discover the raiders' camp.
Seeing Trash-kun's miserable state, Ye Shi couldn't help but ask, "You fought with them?"
"No, no, I swear I really didn't provoke them!" Garbage King hurriedly waved his hands to clarify, while stealing a glance at the manager as he spoke.
After all, when the administrator issued the mission, he was told to hide himself as much as possible and avoid unnecessary battles.
He coughed lightly and continued, "I was originally planning to retreat, but I ran into their patrol team, and I saw there were three of them..."
Ye Shi laughed: "And then you still ended up fighting with them?"
Garbage Guy looked embarrassed and simply looked away: "Uh... I got caught, there's nothing I can do about it."
Clearly, he lost the fight and had to flee back in a sorry state.
After listening to his entire explanation, Shuguang nodded and said, "I understand. You can go back to the incubation chamber and rest now."
The culture chamber has the function of accelerating tissue cell repair. In addition, with Garbage-kun's own physical attributes, although his injuries look scary, they will actually heal in a short time.
"Yes, Manager." Garbage-kun said, wagging his tail, and limped toward the shelter.
On the other side, although Li Yuan didn't go over, he still heard what Garbage King said the whole time.
After finishing all the food, he put down his bowl and found his other four teammates.
After calling Lao Bai, Fang Chang, Ye Shi, and Kuang Feng to a corner, Li Yuan, seeing their questioning looks, didn't keep them waiting and went straight to the point:
"Let's take down that raider camp tomorrow."
The other four were stunned when they heard this.
"What?" Ye Shi's eyes widened. "Wipe out that raider camp? Just us?"
His face was full of confusion, and the way he looked at Li Yuan was as if he were looking at a patient whose brain had been damaged by a fever.
To be honest, he considered himself to be the person in the team who understood Li Yuan's strength the most, besides Li Yuan himself.
Even so, he didn't think that the five of them could take down a raider's camp.
The gale beside him shook his head and said:
"We're not strong enough. Not to mention we don't have guns, we're also outnumbered by a huge margin."
"Didn't you hear what Garbage Guy just said? The number of people in that raider camp is between 50 and 100."
"Although I don't know the exact number, this is at least equivalent to us fighting ten people at once!"
Fang Chang, who was standing next to him, did not refute Li Yuan, but after considering it for a moment, he said:
"The key issue is that we don't have enough equipment. If we could get a lot of explosives, it wouldn't be impossible to give it a try."
The last member of the team, and also the team leader, Lao Bai, spread his hands and looked at Li Yuan, as if to say, "What do you think?"
Li Yuan didn't seem surprised by their questions.
He smiled, looked around at the group, and said:
"Don't worry, the five of us are enough."
"To be precise, even if it's just me alone, it's enough."
"Taking that camp and wiping out the raiders inside will be no problem for me at all."
"I called you here just to help move some things."
Lao Bai, Fang Chang, Ye Shi, and Kuang Feng looked at each other, all seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
Clearly, none of them understood why Li Yuan had suddenly "gone crazy and was talking nonsense."
Seeing that they still didn't believe him, Li Yuan was too lazy to explain and simply said:
"Okay, I'll go and ask the administrator later."
"If he doesn't forcibly stop us, we'll go tomorrow."
"I'll go in by myself; you can just wait at a distance."
"Wait until I come out to greet you before you approach the tire factory."
