Chapter 14 - good luck and bad luck

[SURVIVED TIME: 5 DAYS]

like all the last ones, I woke up with the feeling of not having enough heat, so I lit the campfire and heated yesterday's leftovers for breakfast.

"I even used up my water bottle yesterday to prepare dinner... I'll have to go to the river to get water after I eat my breakfast".

[Crescent Red: hey, david, yesterday I forgot to trade for the water tank, I already ran out of water from making some mud walls so right now I'm going to go to the river].

[David Crescent: I see, so do you want me to deliver it now or when you get there]?

[Red Crescent: I think it will be better when I get to the river, then I can fill it without any problem].

[David Crescent: that's fine with me, however I'm going to increase the price since I found someone selling seeds and I've already started potting them up]

[Rojo Crescent: ok, as long as it's still water there's no problem].

with that I closed the chat, put the two empty buckets in my inventory and finished my breakfast quietly before leaving the comfort of the shelter.

//Fuosh//

//huff// //huff///

'I feel colder than the previous times... is it because of the next storm? no... it must be the mud walls that protected the shelter a bit from the cold wind gusts'.

step by step I walked through the snow towards the frozen river, once I arrived I could see a rabbit hole not far away from it.

"wow... good luck to me, remove wooden stake x1 and mutant rabbit organs (lv 0) x 1KG"

I took the organs and threw them in front of the burrow before preparing the wooden stake to be thrown.

//squish// //squish///

I waited a short time in my place and soon two white rabbits came out of the burrow to chew on the bait I put there.

'there are two of them... it might be a bit dangerous but let's try it'.

xiu...

//squish...!//

'I hit it in the body, that rabbit shouldn't be a problem anymore, now there's only one more left'.

//squish!//

dodge!

"withdraw stone axe x1! fuuh~ I almost got hit.."

I held the axe firmly in my hand and cautiously took a step forward towards the rabbit.

//squish!//

LOCK

'yeah... it's a bit annoying but it's nothing compared to the wolf'.

I deflected the rabbit to the side and kicked it in the head.

I tried to finish him off with an axe core but he dodged it and I was only able to give him a shallow cut on his side.

//squish//

the rabbit growled at me cautiously recognizing the danger I represented to him.

///squish...//

!

SLASH!

[you have killed a level 0 mutant beast]

[acquired: wooden box x1]

It was a total surprise, the rabbit on the verge of death had lashed out with a final attack against me however I was able to react in time to counter its attack with a slash of my axe.

Don't... don't take your eyes off the healthy enemy now, there is still one of them in good condition and it would be stupid to be distracted with nonsense now.

the rabbit now seemed even more furious, I felt that at any moment it would jump to bite me with all its strength.

"come here little rabbit, little rabbit~ your fur looks soft and comfortable~"

//squish...!!!//

dodge!

SLASH!

[you've killed a level 0 mutant beast]

once I killed the rabbit I kept waiting for the notification of acquiring a box, however even after waiting for 5 minutes that notification never appeared.

"I guess... this time it won't give me anything... maybe I'd better see if I can find something inside the burrow."

I approached carefully and took a look inside, there didn't seem to be much there but I saw something that caught my attention just like the last time I checked the rabbit hole.

"could it be another supply like the tool box?"

I went inside and took the object

[You found a green supply box!]

"green supply box? so far I only saw the wooden boxes and the yellow supply box... I'm curious, I wonder what's in it?"

'keep the box and the bodies of the two rabbits in the inventory.'

[received]

I walked out of the rabbit hole and approached the river with my stone axe in hand.

[Red Crescent: david, I'm already in the put something random for you to send me whatever it was you were going to sell me]

[David Crescent: okay, here goes]

hit the ice with the stone axe until it breaks up

[seller: David Crescent

item: 500L water tank

price: water x 10L

stock: 1]

"huh? that bastard raised the price 10 times... well, ok, withdraw empty bucket x2"

I filled a bucket with water and used it to buy the water tank.

[transaction completed: you have lost (water x 10L) and acquired (empty water tank x1)].

using the water buckets I started to fill the water tank.

one, two, three, four... continuously started to discharge water into the water tank.

bubble bubble

hm? there are bubbles over there...'.

looking under the ice I see a place that continuously expels bubbles, I am curious so I break the ice in that area where the bubbles appear.

"a yellow supply box... this is pretty cool haha"

I try to put my hand in the water, however after touching the surface of the water with the tips of my hands I quickly withdraw my hand.

"a crab... it seems to be guarding the box... no, the crab is not guarding the box but it seems to be... catching fish? yeah, I think that's it."

'remove wooden stake x1'

using the stake I moved the supply box away from the crab where I could take the box safely.

[you found a yellow supply box!]

"ugh... my hands are freezing, I better get this over with quickly and get back to warming myself with the warmth of the campfire."

I continued to quickly fill the water tank little by little with the buckets until I could fill it completely, then I filled the buckets before finally putting everything away in the inventory.

"haa~ that's cold... getting my arm under the water was too bad for me... I hope what's in the box makes up for it."

shiver

'what... what is this? something is looking at me.. i'm scared... this look is not like rabbits.. it's not like wolves... hell it's not even the wolf.

wolves... hell even the whole wolf pack is nowhere near this, it's just not... normal'.

not knowing what the thing looking at me was I could only shiver in my place as my eyes swiveled from side to side looking for my stalker.

'not even the bear... this is much scarier than the bear from before, I want to run, I want to run out of here now but my stupid body won't respond...'

[warning! you are in the presence of a level 4 mutant beast!]

[the beast will ignore the presence of the survivors until the fourth disaster however the player is advised to avoid it at all costs as accidents may occur].

'I would do it if I could but I can't move... I want to run, I want to get out of here as soon as possible but I can't!'
