Chapter 151: Wasteland Calendar Day 30, The Smug Ram
Until the time reached six in the morning.
Only then did Yu Yuan raise his head, looking at the plan he had listed out all night, and let out a long, heavy breath.
"Like this... everything that needs to be considered is pretty much covered. There are still twenty days before entering the second phase, which should be enough time to make all the arrangements!"
Regarding the [Regional Event - Endless Frost], Yu Yuan had considered everything he possibly could. Now, he just needed to act according to the plan.
He stood up, stretched with a big yawn, cracked his neck, and walked towards the Magazine Display Stand.
Today was the last day of the Newbie Protection Period. He needed to see if there was anything worth paying attention to.

Miljira has been feeling dizzy lately. A few days ago, as the entire Eastern District descended into warfare, the leader of their Nightingale, Lilith, died unexpectedly, and Nightingale collectively relocated to the vicinity of District 11.
She originally thought she would return to her previous life of receiving clients, but she never expected a strange new leader to suddenly appear, who began training them in so-called assassination and sacrificial rituals.
This made her feel like she was going crazy!
"That new leader is simply a devil. How could she so calmly dismember a scavenger! She's insane!" — Miljira.

Simon, residing in Room 0802, 8th Floor, Ailan Apartment Building, No. 14 Chris Avenue, District 8, is injured. Four days ago, he exposed his position while helping to snipe that giant white bird.
Although he successfully escaped the thugs' attack, he was shot in the shoulder. Even after extracting the bullet and bandaging the wound,
due to the lack of antibiotics and disinfectant first-aid supplies, he developed a high fever yesterday.
His wound is infected, and his condition is critical.
His wife, Larr, is feeling utterly helpless right now, as their food reserves also only last for three more days.
But Simon's injury cannot be delayed. Larr has decided to go out tonight to search for medicine.

Carmen of the Black Shield Police Department is feeling immense pressure. Although he successfully got promoted to acting Commander and spent two days initially establishing his authority among the Enforcers,
he knows all of this is superficial. That woman named Zoe from a few days ago made him completely believe his ally's warning.
Chief Hogg's position seems to have already been threatened. From now on, he must think through every single move he makes carefully!
He doesn't want to become a sacrificial pawn in the power transition. He is also increasingly realizing the importance and unfathomable depth of that ally.
"Now that the threat from Loris has been eliminated, will he still contact me?" — Carmen.
————————————
Yu Yuan's gaze paused slightly on the fourth piece of news, then he let out a light chuckle.
"It seems Comrade Carmen is still trustworthy!"
As for the first piece of news, Yu Yuan understood this was the arrival of the extreme weather in the first phase of the Endless Frost.
Over the next ten to twenty days, such bizarre and unpredictable climatic conditions would likely become increasingly frequent.
Regarding Nightingale's relocation and the sudden initiation of assassination and sacrificial ritual training, Yu Yuan understood this change was undoubtedly brought about by the Aurora Animal Assistance Association. He just didn't understand the reason behind it.
He could only wait for subsequent intelligence.
The third piece of news, however, made Yu Yuan frown slightly.
He had never heard the name Simon before, but combining it with the news content, Yu Yuan immediately recalled the man who helped him snipe the White-tailed Kite a few days ago.
It probably wasn't a mistake!
"He's actually injured and infected!"
Yu Yuan naturally understood the consequences of an infected wound in such an environment.
Recalling his three previous interactions with the other party... Yu Yuan pondered for a moment and felt perhaps he could make contact.
The other party's skills weren't bad, and after their last silent exchange, there might be potential for cooperation.
It would be a bit of a shame if he died from an infected wound.
Besides, while antibiotics might be hard to come by for Simon, Yu Yuan had quite a few in his Warehouse. He was worth saving.
Putting the newspaper back on the rack,
Yu Yuan began his other daily routines.
As a result, the Resource Recycling Trash Can gave him a huge surprise.
[Multi-Terrain Camouflage Tactical Helmet Blueprint]
Quality: Bronze
Description: Using this blueprint, this helmet can be crafted via a Level 3 Workbench.
Yesterday, he had tried putting the Enforcer helmet, which had been torn by the Giant Mutant Rat, into the Resource Recycling Trash Can.
Originally, he was just thinking to see if he could recycle some special materials.
He never expected it to directly refresh the blueprint.
He immediately chose to use it, and the crafting list now included the option to make this helmet.
As expected, the [Multi-Terrain Camouflage Tactical Helmet] offered Level 4 protection, the same as the Enforcer helmet.
It could protect the top of the head and the back of the neck, and was compatible with various tactical equipment.
Although Yu Yuan currently had the more advanced Commander helmet, this blueprint was still a small, pleasant surprise.
After nearly ten days of rearing, that flock of Cree Mountain sheep had visibly plumped up. When Yu Yuan approached, they would gather around.
The only thing that really pissed Yu Yuan off was a certain ram that, for some crazy reason, would always sneak up from behind and butt him when he was cleaning up their droppings.
This ram's attacks posed no real threat to him, so they naturally didn't trigger the danger-sensing ability from his title.
The first time, caught completely off guard, it knocked him flat on his face.
Later, Yu Yuan gained some experience, and the ram hadn't succeeded again, but it still provoked him repeatedly.
It made Yu Yuan seethe with anger every time he saw it.
If he hadn't considered that the ram was still too scrawny to be worth the meat, he would have finished it off long ago.
Tossing today's green grass to the flock and looking at that ram that was still eager to try its luck, Yu Yuan licked his lips.
"Damn it! Still too skinny right now, not worth it. Wait until you've fattened up a bit more."
Yu Yuan thought with malicious intent.
Seeing Yu Yuan leave, the ram, as if claiming victory, held its head high, walked over to the green grass, and began devouring it heartily.
Its appetite was wide open, eating with exceptional relish!
The mealworm larvae had all grown up too, each nearly 2 centimeters long. Yu Yuan estimated they would probably enter the third stage—pupation—within this week.
The mealworms cultivated by Professor Dale indeed grew remarkably fast.
"There's still food for the mealworms for now, but later, as the farming scale increases, grain consumption will become a major problem. Not to mention the Endless Frost..."
Yu Yuan recalled a piece of intelligence he had obtained before. There was a Grain Trading Station in the northern suburbs of Green Forest City, with grain warehouses. Perhaps he could find food for the mealworms there, even if it was just wheat bran.
Yu Yuan felt he needed to make a trip there tonight...
