Chapter 232: Yeming Village
"Night Inscription Village"
"I see him, give me the slime, I guarantee I can hit his head."
Lin Ye: Already traded it to you.
Lin Ye had filled a mineral water bottle with thirty milliliters of Purify Slime and traded it to that survivor.
He didn't think anyone would dare scam his Purify Slime under these circumstances, unless that person planned to never operate in this district again.
The group chat was the primary information channel for all survivors, and you couldn't speak anonymously in the group, so if any survivor dared to scam people in the group, before long, most survivors would know about it, and many would directly block the scammer. There had indeed been such people at first, but later these types were basically eliminated.
Except for a few extremely powerful big shots who could be self-sufficient, the vast majority of survivors needed to trade large amounts of supplies daily through the trading area, and credibility was the foundation of transactions.
"How is it, did you hit him?"
"I hit him, Old Yu is on the road downstairs, I saw him get hit in the head by a flask, his head was bleeding, it was terrible."
"I saw it too, he got the big shot's slime all over his face." "Yikes, the way you phrased that..."
"I want it all over my face too."
"That's enough of you, we're discussing serious matters."
"Is Old Yu awake now?"
"He should be awake, I see he's stopped moving."
Yu Feng: Thank you all very much for your help, special thanks to Big Shot Lin for the slime. Everyone, absolutely do not leave the Shelter. Every place outside has different rules, and we must follow these rules when we're outside. I need to return to the Shelter as quickly as possible now. I'll explain in detail to everyone after I get back.
"Besides you, is there anyone else who would go outside?"
"Follow rules? That sounds dangerous, no wonder all those survivors who went out to explore died."
"It's much safer staying in the Shelter."
"Big shot's slime can even remove the effects of rules? Big shot, are you selling? I want to buy some as backup."
"Definitely not selling, such good stuff must be kept for saving lives. If I had it, I wouldn't even take it out to save Old Yu."
"You couldn't afford it anyway, the big shot doesn't lack your measly stuff."
"True."
"Are we still drawing the map?"
"Draw it, take screenshots of what you see of Old Yu and send them to the group, I'll compile them. After I compile them, I'll post them in the group. Although it's not a complete map, it might be useful someday."
"The fog isn't as thick now, everyone can take pictures out their windows. When we piece them together later, we should be able to create a relatively complete city map."
"Okay. (Street picture)"
"Send Old Yu's pictures first as the framework, send other pictures later."
...
After finishing breakfast, Lin Ye closed the group chat, then hugged the Goat and lay on the bed to begin his daily simulation.

Buzz buzz buzz...
Lin Ye opened his eyes. He was wearing familiar prison clothes, but he wasn't sitting in the familiar prison transport vehicle. Instead, he was sitting in the passenger seat of a silver-gray jeep.
The driver was a sharp-eyed young woman with short golden hair, wearing clean, simple athletic formalwear. Despite being female, the first impression she gave wasn't anything pleasant, but rather gunpowder and steel, firearms and sharp blades.
"You're awake? Since you're awake, go to the back seat and change clothes."
As the woman's brisk voice sounded, Lin Ye suddenly felt some pain in the back of his head. Reaching back to touch it, he found an obvious lump there.
"Where are we going?"
Lin Ye didn't waste words, directly pressed down the seatback and climbed to the back seat, changing into a somewhat ill-fitting black tracksuit that still had its tags.
Dylan was a white male around thirty years old, with a well-proportioned figure, average physique, but excellent body flexibility. Lin Ye felt that even without relying on spiritual energy and mental energy, he could touch his own stomach with his tongue.
"Of course, to the place you least want to go."
Jessica stared at Lin Ye through the rearview mirror. She felt this D-Class personnel seemed to have undergone some change, giving off a different feeling than before.
"Can you let me out? I don't want to go to that kind of place..."
Lin Ye said despairingly.
"...Not bad acting, but if it were the real Dylan, he'd probably have already opened the window and climbed out by now."
Jessica's sharp gaze stared into Lin Ye's eyes through the rearview mirror. She wasn't completely sure either, but her intuition told her that the thing sitting in the back seat wasn't Dylan.
"Even on a highway, you're already speeding, let alone here which isn't even a highway. How could I possibly jump out to kill myself?"
Lin Ye shifted his gaze to look out the window. The jeep was driving on a mountain path, with faint mist floating in the air. As a Veteran Driver, Lin Ye had to acknowledge the other's driving skills and courage.
Of course, it might also be because the other wouldn't die even if there was a car accident.
"Are you the anomaly that helped the organization resolve abnormal incidents? I don't know how much you know about Dylan, but if you can achieve this level with only limited information, then I must admit, your acting is quite impressive."
Jessica tried to probe Lin Ye's background through conversation, but she wasn't actually skilled at verbal communication.
"You might as well just tell me where we're going, what we're doing, who you are, and why there's only the two of us in the car."
Lin Ye decided to be slightly more proactive. If the other planned to send him back to the organization, he would kill himself and restart the simulation, at most wasting one Simulation Attempt.
Next time he wouldn't let the other see through his disguise.
"I'm the Captain of the organization's abnormal incident handling team. We're going to Night Inscription Village, it's a remote ancient village. We're going to stay there overnight. As for why there's only us in the car, that's because this isn't an organization mission. The organization has already decided to abandon that place, but I need to go to Night Inscription Village for personal reasons. You're the only survivor from the Night Inscription Village incident, although you don't remember what happened anymore, I still decided to bring you inside with me."
Jessica briefly explained the current situation.
"I see. Does the organization not have information about Night Inscription Village? Or do you not have the clearance to access the information?"
Lin Ye had originally thought he could obtain some mission information this time, but unexpectedly still had to face unknown circumstances. However, this time he seemed to have a relatively reliable teammate.
"Information about Night Inscription Village has been sealed. The organization doesn't want me to enter Night Inscription Village, but I must go in."
Jessica said determinedly.
