Chapter 9 - a different threat and return to the hunt

"zombies? really? this is getting crazier and crazier."

[Helmut Stahr: don't lie, zombies don't exist].

[Audrey Pelletier: he's not lying, i saw them too, they go in groups with one or the other going out of their way, luckily they didn't notice me].

[Red Crescent: hi, I haven't seen any zombies myself but I can rule out that I might end up meeting one later on, do you know anything about them, if they are blind or have good hearing, etc.]

[Helmut Stahr: bah, I can't believe anyone actually believed their nonsense, I'm leaving, I can't keep talking to these crazy people]

[Tang Ping: they are disgusting! they have rotten flesh and horrible wounds on their bodies, they do not seem to be able to see but their ears work very well].

[Red Crescent: you seem pretty sure about that did you get rid of them yet?]

[Tang Ping: yes! it was a terrifying group of 8 zombies.. but I the mighty boss have killed them all from the roof of my shelter]!

[Audrey Pelletier: wow that's amazing! I could only walk away when I saw them].

"these kind of people love to brag to others... well, I guess it's okay to brag a little about your accomplishments."

I closed the chat and opened the transactions section to see if anyone was selling anything I needed at the moment.

'I ended up spending 400ML of water to buy this, my only regret is buying a damn 600ML bottle for that much'.

haa~

"withdraw empty bottle"

the bottle belonged to a famous soft drink brand, even now it still has the label.

I rinsed the bottle and filled it with water from the bucket.

"now... I guess it's time, if I want to make a blanket to cover myself from the cold at night or anything else I will need more rabbit skins and I will only get them if I hunt them outside in the open"

Taking a moment, I took the wooden stakes out of my inventory and with the stone knife began to sharpen them.

one by one the stakes now had a dangerously sharp point, then, after finishing with the stakes I also sharpened the stone axe.

"yes... now everything is ready..."

I opened the door and stored the stone axe and 8 of the nine stakes in the inventory while holding the last one tightly in my hand.

//Fuosh//

//huff// //huff///

stepping on the white snow I began to walk in the direction of the frozen river, my intention was to cross it and see what was beyond it.

"this ice is still so thick... I wonder how the rabbits find water".

once I passed the frozen river there was a small snow hill that I climbed carefully so as not to fall in.

hmm... more forest... what a problem'.

I slowly walked down the hill approaching the trees when I saw something that caught my attention.

"a cave... no, not a cave, a rabbit hole?"

I increased my vigilance and approached slowly

I can hear some squeaking from there... how can I make the rabbit come out of its burrow? although it could also go in there, no, no, no, no... that's stupid...'.

then I remembered

These rabbits seem to be carnivorous... maybe... maybe I can use the organs of the other rabbit I killed as bait.

"remove rabbit organs x 500G"

Some guts appeared in my hand and I threw them in front of the burrow.

//squish//

There it is... it's eating the bait'.

Fixing my gaze I pointed in the direction of the rabbit and... fired.

//squish...//

the sharp wooden stake buried itself deep into the rabbit's flesh.

'remove wooden stake x1!'

//squish!//

the rabbit managed to identify me and, instead of retreating, it chose to run in my direction.

"come on furry rat!"

//squish!// //stab!//

when the rabbit lunged at him they both fell but soon the winner was revealed.

[you've killed a level 0 mutant beast]

[acquired: wooden box x1]

"fuuh~ again I was thrown to the ground by the rabbit, keep it in the inventory."

[received]

'well... I'm curious is there anything in the rabbit hole?'
