Chapter 14

Hunting

Lin Xiaoyue ran all the way out of the house and reached the foot of the mountain. She was relieved to see that her mother and Xiaozhi didn’t chase after her.

Yes, she was preparing to go up the mountain.

She hadn’t gone to town yet, so she didn’t have any ideas of making money for the time being. But the pheasant she caught gave her some ideas.

There were a lot of wild creatures in the mountain, and it was all money!

She had spiritual powers, and she also had a bow and a gun in her interspatial ring. It shouldn’t be difficult to hunt.

Feral chicken meat could be sold for more than 10 cents for half a kilo, but what about wild boar meat? If she could get a big one that weighed 2 to 4 hundred kilograms, it would probably be worth a lot of money…

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue took out her combat boots from her interspatial ring and put them on. Then, she rushed up the mountain.

At this time, most of the people who came to the mountain to pick wild vegetables had gone home. She only saw two people on her way up the mountain, and the two of them were walking back on another mountain path.

Lin Xiaoyue was very fast, and she was careful not to let them notice her at all.

When she reached the mountainside, Lin Xiaoyue finally felt a little out of breath. She slowed down and continued to go around the back of the mountain along a small path.

She had pretended to be curious about this small path and asked Aunt Wang, who told her about it. She said that it was built by the village a few years ago and could lead to the back of the mountain.

As the back of the mountain was further away from the village and connected to other uninhabited mountains, there were more wild animals.

There was also a stream at the foot of the back of the mountain, just like the front of the mountain. In the summer, wild animals might go to the stream to cool off. It was said that some people had seen wild boars there a few years ago.

There were only two hours left. Lin Xiaoyue did not pay attention to the movements of the wild animals she heard on the road. She only started hunting in the back mountain.

The effective range of her spiritual power was 20 meters. The effect of spiritual power on the prey varied according to the distance and the target.

The closer the distance, the smaller the size of the animal, the stronger the effect.

However, she didn’t need to use her powers when hunting, because she had a gun in her hand. As long as she could find her prey, she was confident that she could kill it.

She used mental detection to lock onto the prey, and then she fired with the silenced pistol.

The bullet didn’t miss and killed a wild animal.

Pheasant, hare… Lin Xiaoyue was like the God of Death, and she soon found her prey.

After checking again to make sure that there were no bullets in her prey, she artificially created a wound with the arrowhead to replace the bullet hole.

Then, she put her prey into her interspatial ring.

The temperature in the deep mountains wasn’t high, but Lin Xiaoyue still felt warm because she kept running. However, she was excited and didn’t feel tired.

In the post-apocalyptic era, they had hunted in the forest before, but usually, there were only small animals such as mice and squirrels. The bigger ones were mostly eaten by zombies. There were never that many animals in the mountains.

Lin Xiaoyue put another rabbit into her ring and glanced at the watch in her space.

It was 10:40 pm.

She couldn’t delay any longer. She had to go to the stream that Aunt Wang had told her about.

Thinking of that, Lin Xiaoyue started walking down the mountain.

Not long after, she heard the sound of the stream flowing.

Then she narrowed her eyes and saw a deer drinking water by the stream from afar.

Lin Xiaoyue’s face lit up, and she hurried toward the stream.

From a distance of more than ten meters away from the stream, she saw the deer raise its head as if it was on alert.

Finally, it took out a gun and shot at the deer’s head.

Then, with just a small noise because of the silencer, a bloody hole appeared on the head of the deer opposite the stream, and its body instantly fell to the ground.

Three wild rabbits nearby were frightened and immediately wanted to escape.

However, Lin Xiaoyue had already raised her gun and shot again.

Then, as expected, one of the wild rabbits was left behind.
