Surviving in anime world, playing with a girl and getting watched by the live chat.

As for what to do when she runs out of money in the future, she is an angel, so it's very easy for her to amass wealth. Moreover, she has magical powers, and as long as she is willing to spend a small amount of money, she can cure other people's difficult and complicated diseases, even terminal illnesses.

It will be tough on Xiaoyun then. The more difficult the illness, the more it will consume her magical power. Her magical power is either linked to Xiaoyun's blood or another fluid. Blood can't be used casually, but the other fluid can be used more often.

"It's raining."

Inside the room, Shima Rin, who was sitting at the table reading a book, looked up and suddenly realized what was happening when she saw the rain outside the window getting heavier.

"Great, it's finally raining. Hopefully, the rain will make the town smell a little better; for some reason, the town feels like it's getting worse and worse."

Dongyun's face darkened as he recalled the smell he had encountered in town.

When he and Xiaojia first went to the town, there was hardly any smell.

However, in the past two days, the town's sanitation workers seem to be short-handed, and untreated garbage can often be seen on the streets and alleys. Moreover, some people are urinating and defecating indiscriminately, which makes the town smell increasingly unpleasant.

If ethylene hadn't been colorless and odorless, and if he hadn't seen the garbage and excrement with his own eyes, he would have suspected that ethylene leaked from a toxic train that derailed in the state and drifted to Raspberry Town.

News reports say the train derailment in Ohio was caused by waste pollutants, but TikTok says it was caused by toxic chemicals, such as ethylene, while some conspiracy theories say it was caused by a virus, or even the eradication of smallpox.

Could it really be waste pollutants? That stench is wafting over here.

Hopefully, the stench in town will dissipate soon and not affect his and Xiaojia's wonderful daily life. They still want to go to the cinema next time they go to town.

Now their lives are getting better and better, and they are living a more and more comfortable life.

There are no large predators on the mountain; the largest carnivores are only coyotes and foxes, while herbivores include rabbits, field mice, and white-tailed deer.

But aside from hunting and setting traps in the first few days after their journey, they spent the rest of their time in town playing the role of swindlers, hunting down unscrupulous individuals, and using their money to buy food, various kinds of food, and all sorts of daily necessities.

"Everyone, dinner's ready! The hot pot is done."

Kagamihara Nadeshiko pushed open the door and walked in from outside.

"Eat, eat."

Dongyun, who was lying in bed, suddenly sat up.

Nadeshiko's hot pot is absolutely amazing.

He didn't know why, but even though it was just a hot pot, Nadeshiko could make it taste exceptionally delicious.

If he didn't know that Nadeshiko would never do such a thing, he would have suspected that Nadeshiko had added leaves to it.

Stepping out of the small house, Dongyun arrived at the semi-open kitchen they had built.

The kitchen was built using chopped wood and purchased tarpaulin. Although rudimentary, it now appears to provide good protection from rain and wind. The kitchen was fully equipped with pots, pans, and utensils, but since they had no electricity, they cooked and prepared meals over a campfire.

Although there are some troubles, their current conditions are much better than when they were surviving on a deserted island, so no one feels bitter; on the contrary, they feel that this kind of life is very happy.

They are indeed very happy.

Aside from the inconvenience of cooking and washing, they don't need to go to school or work. Having earned a little money from entrapment, they have clothes, food, drink, and all kinds of daily necessities, and the girls no longer need to worry about their menstrual hygiene.

But can such happiness last?

Dongyun had a question: was the stench in Raspberry Town really just the smell of garbage or feces?

He didn't want to think the worst. Even though Xiao Jia thought the smell was normal, why did he still feel uneasy?

Is it because the stench in the air is the precursor to the "horrifying Knox County zombie incident" in Project Zombie, which, according to the comments, turned 35 people into zombies?

No, I feel uneasy.

Although he might be overthinking things, he was worried that he might not be overthinking at all, or even underthinking them.

"Xiao Jia, let's go to town after we finish eating."

"it is good."

Without asking why, Gabriel softly agreed.

Chapter 3 A Worrying Person's Worry

2023, April 6.

The 150th day of the first crossing, the 28th day of the second crossing.

In his small notebook, Shima Rin recorded the time they traveled through time and today's date.

After finishing these tasks, she went to help Dongyun and Nadeshiko expand their cabin in the woods.

Because the house was too small, previously, apart from Dongyun, there would always be two people sleeping in the bed and two people sleeping in the tent.

It's only June now, and the nights aren't cold, so sleeping in tents isn't a problem. But when the weather turns cold and winter comes, sleeping in tents could be fatal. Therefore, they not only need to expand their huts as soon as possible, but also build a warehouse to store firewood and food.

More than two weeks ago, they went to Raspberry Town several times and bought a lot of supplies. Some of these supplies, such as sugar, rice, and salt, were stored in the hut, while others, such as canned goods, cured meat, and medical supplies, were packed into boxes and stacked under the awning.

Because of the stench of Raspberry Town and the comments on the screen, Shinonome suspected that a zombie crisis was about to break out in this world.

But it seems he was overthinking it. After sanitation workers returned to work, townspeople (humorously) protested, and the police started fining people who urinated or defecated in public, the stench in Raspberry Town disappeared.

"Do you think I'm being too pessimistic?"

During the break, Shinonome sat on the roof, which was not yet fully built, with one hand supporting his chin, watching Shima Rin and Kagamihara Nadeshiko cooking below, and said.

"I'm not worried about a zombie outbreak, I'm worried about an alien invasion, or I'm worried that there are ghosts, werewolves, or vampires in this world."

"Xiaoyun, you might be having trouble adjusting to a peaceful life all of a sudden. It's like, like, that kind of syndrome."

Kagamihara Nadeshiko racked her brains, but couldn't come up with the word she wanted to say.

Post-war psychological syndrome?

Shima Rin asked.

"Yes, yes, post-war syndrome. Xiaoyun, you might be struggling to adapt to daily life now because you've been living in the wild for so long."

"is that so……"

Dongyun looked up at the sky.

He didn't feel out of place with his current life; on the contrary, he enjoyed the simple and peaceful life he was living.

However, their animated series "Survival Wars" is still airing, and their life of expanding houses, improving camps, stockpiling supplies, exploring forests, occasionally hunting deep in the woods, playing in the river, going to town to watch movies, and shopping is clearly not in line with the name of the anime.

"What are you worried about with me here? Werewolves and vampires, they'll run away as fast as they can when they see me."

Gabriel's voice came from where Shinonome couldn't see it.

"And what you call zombies and aliens. We live in the mountains and have stockpiled so much stuff. You've also bought seeds and fertilizer, and there's plenty of other things in the forest. We can live a secluded life in the mountains. If you feel unsafe, we can move further in. Anyway, this isn't that island, and there are no monsters in the mountains."

Gabriel came out of the house.

She looked up at Dongyun on the roof and really couldn't understand what he had to worry about.

Although her magical power was nearly depleted from using various spells, especially the teleportation technique to move supplies, Dongyun could replenish it. While one must wait six months between blood donations, donating bodily fluids didn't require such a long rest; a week of rest was enough to extract a significant amount.

If it's not absolutely necessary, then forget about using blood; it's too harmful to Xiaoyun's body. If they only rely on her essence, they won't take any risks; her magic power is more than enough.

What you said seems to make some sense.

Dongyun stroked his chin, realizing that he might have been overthinking things.

With the invincible Xiao Jia around, what did he have to worry about? He had also stockpiled supplies in advance.

If a crisis were to break out, such as a zombie apocalypse or an alien invasion, humanity would still be able to survive to some extent. However, if an event such as the sun going out or an extinction event like the Younger Dryas, the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, or the Carnian Pluvial Event occurred, then they would not have any good solutions.

We can only hope that the people of this world can come up with a "Wandering Earth Project," creating a Noah's Ark, a nuclear-proof shelter, or a cryogenic hibernation pod that can put people into a 200-year-long state of suspended animation. Otherwise, they should be researching how to travel back to the deserted island world.

Although deserted islands are dangerous, they would actually become safer if an extinction event occurred on Earth.

Night, dinner time.

Today, Dongyun showed off her skills by cooking some home-style dishes.

"It smells so good! Rice, I want some crispy rice at the bottom!"

Gabriel lifted the lid of the rice cooker, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko's mouth watered at the aroma of the rice.

The rice looked perfectly cooked, and the crispy rice crust inside must be delicious. Add to that the fragrant rice and dishes, the sweet drink, and the wild raspberries picked from the woods, and she felt she could eat ten bowls of rice.

"Okay, okay, I'll serve you some, give me your bowl."

"Xiao Jia, this is a bowl, not a basin."

“Your bowl is bigger than the bowls of four of us, and you still say it’s not a basin.”

"That's a bowl too. These young people these days really don't know anything."

"Don't act all old-fashioned like a grandmother."

Gabriel and Nadeshiko Kagamihara's conversation amused Shinonome and Rin Shima, as did the viewers in the live chat.

【laugh】

It is indeed a bowl, but it's usually not used to hold rice; it's used for serving dishes and soup.

[At home, we use bowls this big to hold pickled fish.]
