Chapter 17 - beast sightings in the chat room

[TIME SURVIVED: 6 DAYS].

...

yawn~

stretching my muscles I get ready to go on with another day in this arctic.

I prepare a breakfast with some rabbit meat and rice.

"today I have to finish covering the front wall of the shelter and the roof.."

while having breakfast i contact david and nathan to tell them about the purifying bottle i got and if they want to buy it.

[David Crescent: a purification bottle... that would be useful for sure, however I still don't have something suitable to replace it with... it's a pity].

[Nathan Gaunt: yes... it would be very useful to me too, all this salt water could finally be useful to me, I suggest you keep it with you for now, at the moment we don't have anything worthwhile but that could change in the future].

[David Crescent: that's right, I was finally able to acquire the seeds I wanted and I have planted them in pots, I am sure that when they grow I will be able to get fresh vegetables and fruits but it will be a while yet].

I didn't stay long, they had things to do in their respective places and so did I.

finishing my breakfast I got ready to finish my work, my ankle didn't hurt anymore and it hardly felt uncomfortable so there would be no problems.

first I prepared the mud before storing it in the inventory and placing the ladder on the front wall to climb up to the roof where I freed some of the mud and spread it along with many small branches or pieces of wood that would not serve as firewood covering the mud.

"This part here is ready... although I would like to have some veneer or something like that, well, you can't have everything in life".

coming down from the roof I did the same routine as I did with the other walls for the front wall except that I had to nail a wooden board on top of the door and place rods horizontally so as not to block the passage.

...

"I'm done... now I can finally start on the inside of the house..."

put away the ladder and shovel before entering inside the shelter.

Once inside, I heated the metal jug with a little water and opened the transaction section.

[seller: Red Crescent

item: water x 100 ML

price: thread x 2M

stock: 3]

[Mu Qing: oh, the red boss came back again with more water, for a moment we thought the worst case scenario had arrived].

[Oliver Ride: he's looking for yarn... what's it for? I'm curious even though I don't have any yarn myself].

[Shimizu Suzuya: well... maybe to sew clothes or to make a blanket with different fabrics, I don't know, but I don't think it's important for us]

...

'well, I think 6 meters is enough to make a blanket with the skins of the rabbits I have.'

when the water in the jug boiled I made tea with the box of tea bags that came in the yellow box.

"although I would have loved to have sugar... I just hope to get some before long, I'm not exactly a bitter drink kind of person".

as I was lamenting my lack of sugar I got notifications of the completed transaction.

"heh there seems to be some people with a lot of thread out there.. too, I should see how things are going in the regional chat from time to time."

remove war knife x1 and rabbit corpse x1'.

I spread the gray cloth on the floor

I began to skin the rabbit, taking a good part of the day until it began to get dark.

"a dinner break wouldn't hurt but what am I going to have for dinner? ah... let's go with fish soup."

putting the firewood in the oven, I started to prepare the broth and the fish.

"I've only got three bouillon cubes left... well, they have to be used after all, so I don't feel bad".

I checked the regional chat while waiting for the soup to cook.

[survivors: 701 /1000]

[Fredek Ustinov: yesterday afternoon there was a big fight between giant beasts, I couldn't see the two exactly however their roars are enough to confirm that they were not level 0 beasts does anyone know anything about that].

[Marvin Lebaard: yes... I saw one of them, it was a giant turtle of about four or five meters, if I didn't see wrong I think its level was 4].

[Loyd Target: a level 4 beast... surely it's something that mere humans can't compare to, I saw a level 3 not too long ago and I don't think conventional weapons like pistols or rifles can do anything against it].

[Zane Crawley: really? that sounds like something terrifying, could you describe the beast please?]

[Loyd Target: it was some kind of huge hairy dog, I'm sure it was neither a wolf nor a bear but it was over 10 feet tall, had grey fur covered in snow and had a chained collar attached to its neck].

[Zane Crawley: Is there really something like that out there...? with a dog's sense of smell I feel sorry for its prey, I can't even imagine having that thing in front of me].

more messages like that followed, some people claimed to have seen wolves or bears of level 1 but nothing beyond that, no one else had seen another beast above level 1.

'a lot of people are starting to explore... and the more they explore the more they find'.

"maybe even someone has found the river near my shelter.... well even if they do it doesn't affect me too much, at most there will be less people buying water and more people selling".

I closed the chat and poured myself a bowl of soup to end the day.

...

[TIME SURVIVED: 7 DAYS]

yawn~

"hmm~ only 3 more days to go".

I slowly got up and reheated my dinner from yesterday for breakfast.

Today... I should start to fix the inside of the shelter'.
