Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 73 Forest Survival (1)

It took Gu Shijiu a whole day to finish reading the long diary left by the original owner, and she was still completely bewildered.

So what is she going to do?

Is waiting to starve to death in the room or going out to fight the mutated bats the only way to resolve the crisis on this planet?

She doesn't have that ability.

We need to get moving; we can't just sit in our rooms and wait to die.

According to the diary, these bats appeared in large numbers to forage once a day at a fixed time.

I just came here once, and I probably won't be coming back anytime soon.

Gu Shijiu decided to try her luck on the street.

The neighbor saw her come out again and struck up a conversation with her: "Are you going out?"

The neighbor's eyes flickered slightly; after each bat flight, someone would always go out to find something to eat.

Sometimes people come back, and sometimes they die outside.

The woman next door had never left her house before, but now it seems she's run out of money and has no choice but to go out.

Gu Shijiu nodded: "Yes, I'm going out."

The neighbor, a young woman, said, "Why don't we go together?"

Gu Shijiu looked at the other person's thin arms and legs and shook her head.

This body doesn't even look big enough to fill a bat's teeth; what's the point of bringing her along?

The girl sighed; no one was willing to take her out.

That's true. For an ordinary person like her who doesn't pose much of a threat, being with her would just be a burden.

The neighbors were already being kind by not breaking into her house to steal food, considering the security door and electric fence.

Fortunately, due to the previous disaster, the government installed electric grids in residential buildings when restoring urban infrastructure, which can be considered as taking precautions.

There were men willing to take her out, but they didn't look like good people, so the girl didn't dare to go out with them.

She was just trying her luck when she spoke to Gu Shijiu today; she didn't think the other person would come back alive.

Forget it, I'll just wait a bit longer.

Gu Shijiu carried an iron rod he had taken from the community security room and tiptoed outside.

You can occasionally see a few people on the street; they're all out looking for food.

Some people saw Gu Shijiu and approached her with ill intentions.

After the man's skull was shattered by a single blow, his brains splattered, and his facial features were unrecognizable, everyone gave up on the idea.

Seeing that everyone else had companions while she was all alone, and that her teammates had all been teleported to who-knows-where, Gu Shijiu started to sob.

That's terrible. Every time she's either short of food or on the verge of death. Can't we at least let her make a beautiful entrance next time?

I thought I could get some compensation from the person who was just hit, but I got nothing.

Waaaaah, are the scripts for the Misty Immortal Realm all this difficult?

Gu Shijiu's cries were deafening, startling those nearby who ran away as fast as they could.

It's terrifying. Just a moment ago, he smashed someone's skull with a stick, and now he's sitting by the roadside crying.

He's not only mentally ill, but also a violent madman.

Who could withstand this? If she notices us... we'd better get out of this dangerous place as soon as possible.

After Gu Shijiu had finished crying, she stood up and wandered aimlessly in the street.

She had no destination in mind; she just wanted to find something to eat.

She walked until nightfall, but still couldn't find any food.

To save electricity, the city's power grid is not supplied under normal circumstances.

The power grid is only powered on during the period when the mutated bats are attacking.

The night was very quiet without the streetlights and neon lights, and Gu Shijiu could see the twinkling stars when she looked up.

By the moonlight, she discovered that some mutated bats were hanging upside down in some dark corners.

Some are under the eaves of buildings along the street, some are on lampposts, and some are under overhead lines.

The mutated bats here are actually active during the day.

Gu Shijiu leaned closer to observe. Wasn't it said that bats were nocturnal? Why was it reversed here?

She looked at the bats hanging upside down in twos and threes in various places, their wings covering themselves, and couldn't help but ponder a question.

Why don't bats suffer a stroke even when they hang upside down for so long?

Gu Shijiu walked on through the night, passing many abandoned shops and cars along the street.

It's clear that it must have been a very prosperous place in the past.

It seems that the land has been plowed several times, and there is nothing to eat at all.

Occasionally, if she walked a little louder, a rustling sound could be heard from the roof beams.

It seems that although these mutated bats sleep at night, they are not incapable of getting up.

Gu Shijiu carefully stopped and remained silent for the time being.

The bats stirred a few times, then fell asleep again.

After walking two blocks, Gu Shijiu suddenly encountered a group of about ten men traveling together.

These people were all carrying backpacks, which were bulging and looked like they had good stuff inside.

Should we snatch it? Gu Shijiu hesitated for a moment.

The person on the other side was also surprised to see her.

This woman had no equipment whatsoever, only a red and white iron rod in her hand, and she was all alone.

How dare they travel alone at night? This is no longer the peaceful era before the disaster.

These people knew that the woman in front of them probably had some skills.

They exchanged glances, and one of them took a package out of his backpack.

Gu Shijiu's eyes lit up. Was he going to invite her to dinner?

She was clearly wrong. The man opened the package and found a drone equipped with a recorder.

The man held a remote control and directed the drone to fly over Gu Shijiu's head.

Then, an explosive burst of music began.

Is this... inviting me to listen to a song? Gu Shijiu didn't say anything; this behavior seemed like that of a lunatic.

No one on the other side spoke.

This is their standard procedure.

If you encounter someone who looks intimidating when you go out to find supplies at night, lure the bats away.

It wasn't until all the bats on the street spread their wings and bared their sharp teeth that Gu Shijiu realized what these people were doing.

"You guys are so mean!" Gu Shijiu jumped up and knocked the tape recorder down with a stick.

No one spoke from the other side; they simply retreated rapidly.

Once the bats have eaten and drunk their fill and are resting again, the search for supplies can continue.

It's clear that this isn't the first time they've done something like this; they're doing it with incredible skill.

Sure enough, the bat flew towards Gu Shijiu.

Gu Shijiu was furious and cried and cursed, "How could you do such a thing!"

The tape recorder continued to play even after it was knocked down, and the man in the lead smirked.

This person is probably an idiot.

They had already created considerable distance between themselves and their opponents; all they needed to do was run far away and find a secluded place to hide.

Seeing that the people were only focused on running away, Gu Shijiu chased after them in a fit of rage: "You think you can just run away after doing something bad?"

Although she wasn't as fast as a bat, she was much faster than those men.

The bats were getting closer and closer to Gu Shijiu, but Gu Shijiu was also getting closer and closer to the men.

The men were somewhat flustered; how could this woman run faster than a speed-type ability user?

How can it be!

The men were filled with regret; they wished they hadn't provoked her.

Or you could invite them to join your team; they're so fast, they'd be very useful for searching for supplies.
