Chapter 22: Emergency Typhoon Warning, Danger Level - High
East City, District 12, west side ecological zone of Red Shore Park.
Yu Yuan watched the flock of sheep huddled together resting not far away, not daring to make a single sound.
Actually, finding the sheep wasn't difficult - he had heard their bleating as soon as he entered the ecological zone.
It's just that this place was exceptionally remote, and since the park had no living supplies, few people ever came here.
So much so that the sheep had been staying here for a whole day without anyone noticing.
But how to catch the sheep became Yu Yuan's biggest headache.
The ecological zone had long been abandoned with no one maintaining it, all the plants had withered.
Even so, the sheep still considered them delicious.
Otherwise they wouldn't have stayed here - at least the plants in the ecological zone, thanks to the glass roof, though yellowed, hadn't been eroded by acid rain.
Looking at these withered yellow plants, Yu Yuan quickly got an idea.Several new trade requests soon appeared on Taotao Hole.
— 1 cigarette trades for 3kg fresh green grass × 10 orders
Those players who were still staying up late searching for supplies, or who had just woken up to use the bathroom, all received item listing notifications from Taotao Hole.
"Huh? What got listed, firearms, cigarettes, or tools?"
"Who's still listing things this late? Or is it something I specifically set alerts for?"
"Who's grinding again? Did they find liver protection pills?"
But when players saw the trade information, some immediately woke up completely.
"Three kilograms of green grass, green grass?" A player located in the grasslands rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
After confirming he hadn't misread, he happily grabbed his sickle and ran outside, afraid he'd be too slow.
The grasslands had plenty of grass if nothing else - trading one cigarette for three kilograms of grass was practically free.
In just about one minute.
Soon, someone completed the trade.
Holding the cigarettes they obtained, they all showed delighted expressions.
Some couldn't wait to light their cigarettes, revealing comfortable expressions.
Others carefully smelled the tobacco scent emanating from the cigarettes, constantly savoring it.
Of course, some didn't like smoking and immediately listed that cigarette - one cigarette for 80 survival points.
It sold out instantly the moment it was listed.
Making them regret it deeply.
"Damn! I still priced it too low!"
But Yu Yuan paid no attention to that, having harvested a total of 30kg of green grass. He took out six or seven kilograms and tossed it toward the sheep flock.
The sheep were startled awake and were about to flee, but then they caught the scent of green grass in the air and involuntarily stopped.
The early morning green grass still had dew on it, fragrant and sweet.
For the sheep who had nearly forgotten the taste of green grass, this was simply an irresistible temptation.
One, two...
Under Yu Yuan's watch, the eight Cree Mountain sheep still couldn't resist the temptation and gathered around the green grass, chewing loudly and voraciously.
The more they ate, the more delicious it became; the more they ate, the faster they ate.
Crunch crunch...
The crisp chewing sounds were so clear in the silent Red Shore Park.
Six or seven kilograms of green grass couldn't withstand eight sheep eating for long, soon it was all gone.
But the green grass scent in the air remained strong. Following the direction of the smell, the sheep looked at Yu Yuan... and the green grass at his feet.
Then one by one they approached, continuing to eat loudly and voraciously, showing no fear of Yu Yuan, instead seeming quite accustomed to him.
Yu Yuan was speechless - he had forgotten.
These sheep had originally escaped from the zoo, why would they be afraid of humans?
He took this opportunity to turn on his flashlight and quickly selected his target.
Then without giving the other party any chance to react, he pulled out rope, knocked down the selected Cree Mountain sheep, tied its hooves.
Hoisting it over his shoulder, he ran toward the sewer.
"Little ones, wait until I build a refrigerator, then I'll come back for you! Don't go too far!"
————————
Baa... baa...
Yu Yuan had been staring at the Cree Mountain sheep for ten minutes.
Looking at this sheep that somewhat resembled a giant panda, he ultimately backed down.
Resigned to his fate, he tossed the freshly traded green grass at the Cree Mountain sheep's feet, heavily dropping himself into the boss chair, emitting a resigned murmur: "I can't do it! I really can't do it! My mind is full of lamb skewers, grilled lamb chops, lamb organ noodles, I want to eat so badly! Desire~~ desire~~ Damn it, why can't desire be appetite, why does it have to be lust?!"
The time was approaching 6 AM, and although he was extremely tired, the threat of the Indulgence Card left him without any sleepiness.
Lighting a cigarette to relieve fatigue, his anxious thoughts gradually calmed.
"There's still one day left, there's still a chance. If I work hard today, maybe I can find another woman? Right, I remember Monkey mentioned another woman, should I go look for her?"
Time gradually reached 6 o'clock.
He received another 140 survival points reward, and today's newspaper refreshed on the Dilapidated Newspaper Rack, though unfortunately no additional intelligence items appeared.
Stubbing out his cigarette, he temporarily cleared away those chaotic thoughts.
"Let's check today's intelligence first!"
Opening the newspaper, he immediately spotted the bronze-colored news located in the center of the page, and Yu Yuan's somewhat groggy mind instantly became alert.
It was actually bronze quality news.
But when he clearly saw the news headline, the joy and excitement in his heart immediately turned to stunned disbelief.
The curve that had started to form at the corners of his mouth hadn't even reached his eyes before chills crawled up his spine.

Artisan Masier, residing at 7 Canchino Street, District 11, East City, has been very troubled recently. Her research has reached a critical stage, but her survival resources can only sustain less than one week. She urgently needs a batch of resources to maintain her research and survival.
She is currently in a fully sealed laboratory, busy with final research breakthroughs. She will only leave the laboratory in two days to search for supplies. (Please do not trespass, it's filled with mechanical traps, extremely dangerous.)
"Oh heavens! If a kind-hearted person would fund my research, that would be perfect! Unfortunately, this world has become a wasteland! Why hasn't Fedemon brought me supplies yet...." — Masier

"Danger level — High!" Yu Yuan swallowed hard, unable to calm down.
Orange typhoon warning, tomorrow at 3:48 AM, maximum wind force level 13.
Yu Yuan had experienced a typhoon landing before - it was when he visited his grandmother's house as a child, and it was his first time witnessing the terror of a typhoon.
Can you imagine what it's like when after a typhoon, an entire house except for the foundation and some broken walls gets swept away by the wind?
Yu Yuan had seen it.
That typhoon left a deep impression on him.
And now, a typhoon of this level, distance from landing in Green Forest City remaining...
