Looking at the 30 open grooves, Song Xiaozhu felt comfortable.
The next day.
When Song Xiaozhu woke up, she looked out of the shack, hoping to see that hunched figure...
However, expectations were not met.
It's the last day.
Song Xiaozhu secretly decided that if Bai Jing hadn't returned by tonight, she would take a professional axe and go see Mu Qing tomorrow.
You need to find someone to rely on to make money relatively steadily.

Bai Jing took Xiao Tong back to the Scavenger Community.
This was Xiao Tong's first time stepping into the community. He stood up straight, but his nervousness was hard to hide.
After he made this decision yesterday, the village elders gave him...
There was unanimous opposition.
Xiao Tong declared firmly, "Most of the wounded in the temple are Hunter from the village. Am I supposed to just watch them suffer and die?"
"When the beast tide came, they bravely rushed out and protected the village."
"They can survive as long as they have antibiotics now, how can I just stand by and do nothing?"
"Besides, without the Hunter ' protection, how will our village survive in this Garbage Mountain!"
The Hunter Xiao Tong mentioned were not the Awakened " Hunter," but rather the warriors of Liu Family Village, whom the community residents referred to as bandits.
Because the village chief was a " Hunter," they all admired him and called themselves Hunter.
One of the elderly elders spoke up, "Village Chief, our feud with Hu Yuan runs deep. If you go, I'm afraid..."
Xiao Tong calmly replied, "She wouldn't dare kill me."
Although Liu Family Village suffered heavy losses, if Old Madam Hu really killed Xiao Tong, then this half of the village would just attack the Scavenger Community like fugitives.
This is definitely not what Old Madam Hu wanted.
The elder hesitated for a moment, then said, "But she won't give us antibiotics."
Therefore, going there would be pointless and only result in unnecessary humiliation.
Xiao Tong took a deep breath and said, "My mind is made up. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, I'll give it a try."
The elders sighed, and no one spoke again.
A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.
The young village chief had not yet glimpsed despair.
Bai Jing didn't return to the shack; instead, he took Xiao Tong directly to the main road of the community and headed towards the solitary "office building" standing in the center.
Xiao Tong: " Master Bai, I can go by myself."
Bai Jing: "Since I brought you here, I will naturally take you back."
Xiao Tong's eyes were filled with gratitude.
In fact, Bai Jing didn't need to go to such lengths for Liu Family Village. He did pay money, but Bai Jing was never a greedy person. He lived in the worst shack, ate cheap wild vegetable noodles, and wore patched-up old clothes.
The only clean items were the " Physician's" syringe and bottles of antibiotics.
No one knew where Bai Jing came from, and no one knew what Bai Jing was going to do.
He was like an ascetic, saving lives and healing the wounded amidst this chaotic Garbage Mountain.
The Scavenger Community is nominally affiliated with Ink City Fortress.
Old Madam Hu was appointed district head by Ink City, and the small building in front of us is her district head office.
Compared to the perpetually drab neighborhood, this office building was exceptionally clean, with blue glass on the walls that reflected the dim sunlight and mirrored the gaunt, weary faces of the residents.
There are guards standing in front of the office building.
As soon as Bai Jing appeared, they were very polite. " Master Bai, you're back."
Bai Jing nodded and went straight to the point. "I brought the village chief of Liu Family Village with me. We'd like to see District Chief Hu."
Chapter 34
The atmosphere suddenly turned tense, and the two guards' faces darkened as they gripped the long swords at their waists.
Xiao Tong instantly became alert, his instincts triggering his " Hunter " ability. His eyes sharpened, and black fuzz appeared on the back of his hand.
Bai Jing stepped forward, standing between the two sides and preventing a tense standoff.
"Village Chief Xiao." Bai Jing's voice was calm, yet impossible to ignore.
Xiao Tong suppressed the Force spreading to his limbs, reverting to his heroic youthful appearance. He first apologized to Bai Jing, then raised his voice and said, "I am Xiao Tong, the current village chief of Liu Family Village, here to pay my respects to District Chief Hu. Please make time for a chat."
He adopted a polite demeanor, standing on the main road of the Scavenger Community like a thin sapling standing on a steep, cold wind.
The two guards exchanged glances, and the one on the left said, " Master Bai, please wait a moment while I go and inform him."
Bai Jing coldly replied, "Mm."
A moment later, the guard returned and said, " Master Bai, the district chief isn't in his office, and we don't know exactly when he'll be back. Perhaps you could come back another day?"
He was polite to Bai Jing, but his hand remained on his long sword, always on guard against Xiao Tong.
The " Hunter " of Liu Family Village are quite ferocious.
Among the Awakened at the Garbage Mountain, the " Excavator," " Planter," and " Physician " have no combat enhancements. Logically, the " Logger " shouldn't either, but Boss Mu is mysterious and unpredictable. He can swing an axe and cut through ten steel knives.
" Hunter " are different; this profession, born to hunt, possesses extremely terrifying killing power.
He can tear apart even the Polluted Beast that escape from the quarantine zone with his bare hands, let alone vulnerable humans.
The two guards were uneasy, fearing that Xiao Tong would suddenly lash out and they would become his punching bags.
After saying this, the guard became even more nervous and even took a slight step back. The other guard glanced at Xiao Tong and breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Tong had not continued to transform into a beast.
In the tense atmosphere, Bai Jing remained calm and composed. He had aged somewhat, his back was naturally bent, and wrinkles and lines had slowly appeared on his once youthful face. His voice was also old and hoarse. "It's alright, Village Chief Xiao and I will wait here."
Standing beside him, Xiao Tong looked more like his young grandson.
