At this moment, Lin Xiyao saw with her sharp eyes that a thin boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old was covering his mouth and coughing, with bright red blood oozing from between his fingers.

"I'm coughing up blood."

Lin Xiyao slowed down her pace in fear, wondering if there was some infectious disease.

Masks.

It's over, nothing.

Lin Xiyao quickly searched her memory and breathed a sigh of relief.

It is not an infectious disease.

These are the norm for scavengers.

As long as you can move, no matter how serious your illness is, you have to go scavenging, otherwise you will starve.

As for treating illnesses and getting medicine.

Don't even think about it.

There is a hospital in the safe zone, and there is also a health center in the mud house area outside.

However, it takes a lot of silver coins to treat illnesses and get medicine.

As residents at the bottom of society, they cannot afford medical treatment and can only bear the illness if they are sick.

If someone died of illness, a body collection team would come to their home, carry away the body and dump it directly into a mass grave in the forest.

And those corpses will eventually become dinner for monsters and zombies.

Dignity and human rights do not exist here.

If you have money, you are the boss.

If you don't have money, you live worse than a dog.

Lin Xiyao silently added an item to her future plans.

make money.

Make a lot of money.

In this world, no one will sympathize with the weak, just like the scavengers in front, cold and selfish.

I want them to help each other and love each other.

Think more.

It's good enough if they don't stab you in the back.

Scavenging in the wasteland is extremely dangerous. Not only do you have to be on guard against strange beasts, but you also have to be on guard against people.

at this time.

"Boom."

A grocery store with a mottled facade opened its doors, and a pungent smell of cigarette smoke wafted out.

"I am collecting junk. All kinds of junk can be exchanged..."

An old man with a sallow face and withered hair walked to the door of the store and shouted at the scavengers.

He opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of yellowed and sparse teeth. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in them.

In his arms, he held a white mouse that was bigger than a cat.

"Squeak."

The big white rat's dark eyes rolled around, staring at Lin Xiyao with bared teeth, and made a creepy squeak.

Lin Xiyao's scalp suddenly felt tingling and goose bumps appeared all over her body. She quickened her pace and walked forward.

She is most afraid of mice.

"Hey, what's wrong? Is there a treasure on her?"

The grocery store owner grinned and stared at Lin Xiyao's back with gloomy eyes.

This big white rat is also called the treasure-hunting rat. It has extremely sensitive perception and is often used to search for energy stones, provide early warnings, etc.

Now, the rat reacted to the woman, which meant that she was hiding a treasure.

The grocery store owner guessed that it should be a rough stone.

"Squeak."

The big white rat struggled restlessly, eager to catch up.

"Be good, she will come to exchange for the raw stone sooner or later, don't worry."

……

After leaving the shantytown, the grass and trees on the road gradually became lush and green, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of grass and trees.

Lin Xiyao raised her hand and the watch on her hand touched a leaf on the side of the road.

After a scan, the dial flashed red: "Toxin content 70%, not recommended for consumption."

Smart watches - almost everyone has one in the wasteland era, which can scan the toxin content in food.

And this watch was picked up by the original owner in the forest.

To be precise, it was pulled off a corpse.

Lin Xiyao didn't give up and tried several other kinds of leaves around her, but the results were the same.

Highly toxic foods.

Sure enough, food is not easy to find in the apocalypse.

Lin Xiyao walked forward for a long way and finally saw a crop that she was familiar with.

The seedlings, more than one meter high, are covered with red berries as big as bowls, with four flat leaves above the fruits.

It's tomatoes.

That's right.

Lin Xiyao excitedly put the watch on.

"The toxin content is 90%, which is extremely toxic and is not recommended for consumption."

Seeing this result, Lin Xiyao was instantly chilled to the bone.

No wonder no one picked them.

She thought she was extremely lucky and was hoping to pick up a bargain or something, but it seems she was overthinking.

Because of this delay, Lin Xiyao fell behind the team. It seemed that most of the plants around here had been tested.

And the scavengers will naturally be at the forefront.

Places that have not been tested by anyone have the most resources.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiyao gathered her strength and walked forward briskly.

In a short while, she had overtaken wave after wave of scavengers and was at the front.

Lin Xiyao was a little puzzled.

She seemed to be going too fast.

"Xiao Wen, why is that woman walking so fast?"

"If you have more strength, you will naturally walk faster."

"Stop talking, hurry up and catch up. The mulberry forest ahead was only measured a little bit yesterday."

"Let's see if we can find some low-toxin leaves today."

There were two clear voices talking from behind.

Lin Xiyao turned her head curiously.

Uh.

The scavengers behind her were at least three hundred meters away from her.

She could actually hear them talking clearly.

Is this spiritual power?

After figuring out everything, Lin Xiyao felt very happy. It was not in vain that she absorbed the soul of the strange beast.

An hour later, Lin Xiyao was the first to arrive at the mulberry forest.

A faint fragrance mixed with fruity aroma wafts towards you. Under leaves as big as cattail leaves, there are bunches of black and purple fruits as big as grapes hanging.

The fruits are plentiful and mouth-watering.

Lin Xiyao took a deep breath in ecstasy.

The plants in this world have become larger, which has its benefits.

One bunch of mulberries was enough to fill her stomach. If she picked a few more, she would have enough food for several days.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiyao quickly checked the surrounding environment.

Before picking, she had to make sure that the surrounding environment was safe, and she even walked along the trails in the forest.

If a strange beast suddenly appeared, she would have to find a way to escape.

After taking a look around and confirming that there were no people, no animals, and no danger, Lin Xiyao started working with peace of mind.

She chose a secluded spot, climbed up the mulberry tree nimbly, and began testing while hiding under the leaves.

"The toxin content is 45%, so it is recommended to consume in moderation."

Good luck.

The first bunch of mulberries that Lin Xiyao tested was edible food.

Lin Xiyao picked them up calmly, put them in the backpack, and continued to climb up.

"Damn, the toxin content is 30%, it is recommended to consume in moderation."

Oh my god, another string.

She had just arrived at the mulberry forest and had already harvested two bunches of food. It seemed that she would not go hungry tomorrow.

Lin Xiyao continued to climb upwards happily.

"Damn, the toxin content is 52%, not recommended for consumption."

Pity.

Foods with a toxin content of more than 50% are highly toxic foods and it is best not to eat them.

"Damn, the toxin content is 10%, it's edible."

Oh my God! Lin Xiyao was stunned for a moment and stared at her watch with wide eyes.

It turns out to be a low-toxin food.

This bunch of food can be exchanged for several bottles of nutrient solution at the grocery store, enough for her to eat for several days.

Hahaha.

Lin Xiyao laughed wildly, picked a mulberry leaf, and carefully wrapped the mulberries.

Nutrient solution is a food unique to the wasteland era. It is milky white and has the same effect as compressed biscuits.

In fact, it has no nutritional value, it just makes you full.

A bottle of nutrient solution can keep you from feeling hungry for the whole day.

I'm really lucky today.

From a mulberry tree, she collected three bunches of edible fruits.

Come on.

After that, she made a fortune by picking up scraps.

However, her good luck did not last long.

Soon, the scavengers came to the mulberry forest one after another.

By the time she came down from another mulberry tree, the forest was already crowded with people.
