Infinite Ebullience
Chapter 112 - 112 18 Abandoned Factory

112: Chapter 18 Abandoned Factory 112: Chapter 18 Abandoned Factory The dense forest was exceptionally quiet in the morning, apart from the occasional chirping of birds and insects.

Tang Zheng shook the dew off the tent and put it into his backpack, then he put the canned box on the campfire to start cooking breakfast.

“Wake up.” Glancing at Zhang Yan who was still curled up in her sleeping bag, Tang Zheng squatted beside her, prodded her cheek with his finger.

“Stop bothering me.” With a slap, Zhang Yan muttered something and casually swatted away Tang Zheng’s hand, then turned around and continued to sleep.

Some convulsions twitched at the corners of Tang Zheng’s mouth.

Just as he was about to drag this girl, who was devoid of any sense of crisis, out for a beating, Zhang Yan suddenly jolted awake as if bitten by a snake and crawled out of the sleeping bag quickly.

“I’m awake, I really am awake.” Zhang Yan did not dare to look at Tang Zheng and kept repeating to herself.

She got up and squatted next to the campfire, “I’m going to make breakfast, that’s my work.”

“Can’t you put some clothes on?” Tang Zheng complained cursingly.

“You…” Zhang Yan twisted, a little frightened.

“Idiot, put your underwear on.

There must be monitors on this island.

Do you want other men to see everything?” Tang Zheng cursed loudly, and reached into the sleeping bag.

After rummaging for a while, he pulled out a piece of warm clothing, helped her put it on, then helplessly said, “Could you be more aware of your surroundings?”

“There are monitors too?” Zhang Yan wrapped her arms around her chest, looking around in confusion.

Tang Zheng was worrying too much.

The island was massive, and the organisers of the game couldn’t possibly install monitors everywhere, given the harsh conditions of the island.

They would only monitor fixed areas.

Airdropped supply boxes were mostly dropped in these locations.

These areas also usually served as allocated fighting arenas, much like the coliseum in ancient Rome.

The organizers knew they couldn’t let the players fight in the dense forest forever.

After a while, that would bore the audience.

“I am going to check the traps to see if we caught anything.” Tang Zheng retrieved his homemade simple dew collector, poured the collected dew into an emptied mineral water bottle.

There was about 200ml of water.

He took a sip, there were no other flavors, so he screwed on the cap and put it away.

“We’re running low on water.

Will we have to drink stream water?” As Tang Zheng was checking the traps, he began to worry about the future.

With the addition of Zhang Yan, the prepared mineral water in his backpack was consumed two times faster.

Now, they only have enough for three more days.

The thought of drinking dew and stream water made his stomach churn.

“We have water purification tablets, but we can’t drink that water every day.

No, we must get to the supply box today, no failure is allowed.” Tang Zheng made up his mind.

He then felt a bit proud.

Probably only a few in the entire dense forest were having three meals a day like him.

Tang Zheng was being modest.

Among everyone on the island, he was living the most comfortably.

Even those lucky few who managed to find a supply box only got two full meals.

At 11 a.m., Tang Zheng, heading northeast again, encountered an abandoned factory.

He glanced at the cracked cement ground and the row of three-story buildings a hundred meters away.

Immediately, Tang checked his handheld radar.

“No one.” Zhang Yan also stood on her tiptoes to take a look and found nothing.

“That’s impossible.

Such a good campsite, how could it not be occupied by players.” Tang Zheng shook his head, feeling a bit ambivalent.

If they retreated now, they would definitely alert the other party.

Any offensive action would arouse their attention, losing the element of surprise.

If they continued forward, they might catch the other party off guard.

But was their combat power strong enough?

After glancing at the completely unfazed Zhang Yan, Tang Zheng made up his mind, took a step forward, and set foot on the cement ground.

“What was this place used for?” Like a curious child, Zhang Yan pointed to a metal frame and asked.

“It’s an abandoned simple oil well.

Petroleum was probably extracted here.

Now, it could also be a place where some forces process contraband.

I mean who would bother building a factory on an isolated island?” Tang Zheng replied loudly, looking around as if entranced by everything around him, but he was actually scanning buildings for potential hiding places for enemies.

“Petroleum?

Contraband?” Zhang Yan looked confused, unable to construct a clue with these words.

“Good, just keep looking puzzled and harmless.” Tang Zheng’s face was expressionless, but he was satisfied internally.

“The other party is definitely hiding and watching us.

If they see Zhang Yan’s confused look, they will probably lower their guard, right?”

“Tang Zheng, why aren’t you talking?” Zhang Yan noticed that Tang Zheng seemed lost in thought.

“Oh, this island is definitely not safe.

Not only do we have to look out for enemies, but also ferocious wild beasts.

So, we are likely to find firearms left by the factory security.” Tang Zheng was actually a bit torn.

Should he push the girl out as bait?

“No, if the other party has their radar on, I can’t track and protect her from behind, so the bait tactic is bound to fail.”

“Firearms?” Zhang Yan’s eyes lit up.

When in danger, people are always sensitive to things that can save their lives.

“Yes.” Tang Zheng really wanted to tell her that even if there were firearms, they would have rusted and become unusable by now.

Besides, the organizers must have searched the area.

They wouldn’t have left anything that could disrupt the balance of the game.

At the same time, a man, hidden upstairs in a three-story building, was observing Tang Zheng and Zhang Yan, his eyes barely visible from his hiding spot.

Because of the quiet, dense forest and Tang Zheng deliberately speaking loudly, their conversation reached the man’s ears.

“Although I can’t quite hear them, judging by their calm expressions, they probably haven’t spotted me.” This man, dressed in grey sportswear, happened to be a gym teacher, so he trusted his sights and hearing.

Checking the radar in his hand, a smug smile crossed his face.

“Turning on the radar between 11 a.m.

to 1 p.m.

every day is definitely a good choice.

It helps conserve electricity and monitor enemies.

But what should I do?

Should I kill them or wait for them to leave?

The time for the airdropped supply box is almost here.” On the first day, the gym teacher landed at this abandoned factory.

Even when looking for food and water, he never left this area by more than a hundred meters.

Being careful does pay off.

Yesterday at noon, a supply box was airdropped here, allowing him to eat two full meals.

“If I initiate an attack, can I finish the battle within an hour?

I don’t want someone else to steal my supply box.” The gym teacher was torn.

He really hoped those two would leave.

After all, this was his territory.

But looking at the girl with a nice figure, the gym teacher swallowed, “I have a gun, I have nothing to fear.”
