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?'
