Stockpiling Supplies&Raising a Child in a Post-Apocalyptic World by DrawingCards

Chapter 103

Lin Ran had collected a total of 456 crystal cores from killing zombies along the way. Combined with the 199 she had left from the last card draw, she now had 655 level-1 zombie crystal cores, plus the newly obtained level-2 mutated beast core.

She glanced at the card-drawing machine's screen, wiped the blood from her neck, and pulled out another wet wipe to clean herself up before pressing the button to load the zombie crystal cores. The next moment, a drawer popped open from the machine, and the screen displayed: "Please insert 100 level-1 zombie crystal cores, or a multiple of 100."

Lin Ran directly inserted 500 level-1 zombie crystal cores into the drawer. Typically, only five or six items from the draw would be useful, so inserting more cores at once would be wasteful.

Very quickly, the drawer automatically retracted, and at the same time, the screen on the card-drawing machine displayed: "500 level-1 zombie crystal cores detected. Confirm to add all?"

Lin Ran tapped "Yes" on the screen. The screen began to rapidly scroll, and soon, ten items appeared, arranged in two columns.

Lin Ran and Mo Shuyu looked at the screen together. The items included: a bottle of gene enhancement serum, a one-time space upgrade (expanding space by 10 square meters), three packs of instant noodles, a one-time motorcycle upgrade (performance upgrade or mechanical arm installation), a can of chicken legs, a shield card, three cans of tuna, two bottles of random red wine, a bag of flour, and a pheromone card.

T/N: I think we all know what the pheromone card will do ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

Without needing Lin Ran's prompt, Mo Shuyu pressed the button to draw cards. Five red frames spun wildly on the screen and finally stopped on five cards. The next moment, a golden light appeared in the sky, and the five cards floated in front of Mo Shuyu.

Mo Shuyu grabbed the cards and handed them to Lin Ran. The next second, the cards were stored in Lin Ran's space.

Lin Ran then took out the level-2 mutated crocodile crystal core she had just obtained. She directly clicked the "Redeem" button on the screen, and a message appeared: "This is a level-1 card-drawing machine. To redeem items within this machine, you need to use crystal cores from mutated animals of a higher level (level-2 or above). Do you wish to proceed?"

Lin Ran confirmed, and soon, a list of options appeared on the screen.

"Please select the category of the card you wish to redeem: 'Personal Power Enhancement, Tools, Random Dungeon, Add-ons, Daily Necessities, Food, Support.'"

Lin Ran selected "Personal Power Enhancement," and finally, the gene enhancement serum she wanted appeared. She immediately redeemed it. Another golden light appeared, and Lin Ran quickly stored the card in her space.

Lin Ran grabbed Mo Shuyu's arm and started running, but by then, the entire perimeter of the park was surrounded by military personnel. Even the abandoned residential buildings on the street were filled with snipers, dozens of them. Every exit was blocked by armored vehicles armed with rocket launchers and fully equipped soldiers.

When Lin Ran and Mo Shuyu reached the back gate, they noticed something was off. Multiple red laser dots were trained on them, and the road was completely sealed.

Lin Ran's heart sank—they were surrounded.

She pulled Mo Shuyu back into the park. Facing level-2 mutated animals seemed safer than dealing with military weapons.

But soon, a helicopter appeared overhead, repeatedly broadcasting: "Lin Ran, your position has been detected. You are surrounded. Surrender your weapons and come out to the street where you will be taken into custody. If you do not comply, we will begin bombing the park in ten minutes."
