Peeling, removing internal organs, cutting into sections... Su Yuan's movements were clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

Soon, two complete snake skins and a pile of cleaned snake meat appeared on the table.

Snake skin is a great material; it's sturdy and resilient, making it suitable for making outdoor hydration packs. It's a good material for both personal use and trading.

As for the snake meat, Su Yuan simply opened the feeding port under the control panel.

"Small fire, give me a hand, use your heat to cook this meat."

He skewered a piece of snake meat on a sharpened stick and held it above the core of the flames.

【It is my pleasure to serve you, my esteemed master!】

The small fire immediately became gentle, and the orange-red flames softly licked the snake meat.

Before long, the aroma of meat filled the carriage.

The previous high-energy compressed biscuits consisted of a compressed biscuit, and each serving also included a star-shaped candy and a small packet of salt.

He finished all ten compressed biscuits and all the star-shaped candies in one day, but he definitely couldn't finish all the salt, so he still had seven packets left.

Su Yuan directly opened a packet, rubbed it between his index finger and spread it evenly on the meat, without wasting any.

A simple grilled snake skewer is now complete.

He took a bite; the meat was firm and had a wild, fresh flavor.

Although the seasonings were simple and the taste certainly couldn't compare to modern cuisine, Su Yuan's palate could adapt to it.

To use an imperfect analogy, nowadays even if someone has a huge bowel movement, he can eat it with a sense of sophistication. While others might find it hard to swallow, he can genuinely enjoy it, perfectly utilizing the remaining energy and expelling toxins.

Of course, Su Yuan would never eat it, even if you killed him.

After eating and drinking his fill, Su Yuan checked his equipment.

Fire axes, shotguns... everything is ready.

With only a little time left, he leaned back comfortably on the sofa, squinted his eyes, and rested for a moment.

Time slipped away quietly during these unhurried preparations.

Finally, the jolts of the train began to lessen, and the scenery outside the window gradually changed from the unchanging desolation to a hint of green.

【ding dong——】

Please sit tight and hold on, the train is about to arrive at your second stop...

[This stop: Uncle Mike's Farm (single-person stop)]

[Maximum stopover time: 5 hours.]

Su Yuan stood up, walked to the car door, and took a deep breath.

The train slowly came to a stop.

With a whoosh, the car doors slid open to both sides.

A unique smell, a mixture of grass, soil, and... some kind of animal dung, wafted towards me.

Before me stretched an endless expanse of lush green.

The vast fields were bathed in a warm golden glow under the setting sun. In the distance, a red-roofed barn and a white two-story building stood quietly, with a few crows perched on the roof, cawing.

Everything looked so peaceful and serene, like a classic pastoral landscape painting.

However, just as Su Yuan was about to get off the car, those familiar semi-transparent words reappeared before his eyes.

[Note: Because your perception has surpassed the limits of ordinary humans, you will automatically receive more detailed information each time you enter a new instance.]

[Current number of players in the station: 1.]

[Information 1: This is an abandoned farm. The main buildings include: a two-story farmhouse (containing living supplies), a large silo (containing agricultural machinery and fuel), a towering grain silo (which appears to be locked with something inside), and large cornfields surrounding the farm.]

[Second intelligence: The source of danger is not wild animals. Farmer Mr. Mike is long dead, but the "children" he created have come to life. They are evil spirits cloaked in straw. During the day, they disguise themselves as ordinary scarecrows, scattering throughout the farm and falling asleep. When night falls, they awaken and hunt any living creature that makes a sound.]

[Intelligence 3: Scarecrows have no sight and rely entirely on hearing to hunt. Any slight sound is enough to startle them. Their bodies have extremely high resistance to physical attacks, but their cores are extremely afraid of fire.]

[Intelligence 4: When you pass by a certain doorway, you seem to hear the sound of chains being dragged. All clues point to the locked basement. Please stay away from there as much as possible.]

[Friendly reminder: The sun is setting, and you don't have much time left.]

"A scarecrow? Alive?"

After reading the intelligence, Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

He knew that "Uncle Mike's Farm" was definitely not a good place, otherwise the danger level would not have reached two stars.

This setup is straight out of a classic horror movie.

Sleeping by day, hunting by night, relying on hearing, and fearing fire...

This crucial information instantly gave him a clear understanding of the enemy before him.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness we arrived during the day." Su Yuan couldn't help but feel relieved.

If I arrive at night, the moment I open the door I'll be faced with a group of monsters that kill with their voices. Just thinking about that scene sends chills down my spine.

Even if you are very strong, you may still suffer a great loss if you don't understand the characteristics of your enemy.

Information asymmetry is always the biggest advantage.

This is the benefit of having strong perception; it allows you to understand the enemy and obtain intelligence before they do.

Su Yuan couldn't help but think that it would be great if there were some way to further enhance his perception, as this might bring even more unexpected benefits.

Last time, he used snake venom to push himself to the limit. Hopefully, this time the scarecrow's opponent won't be too weak.

Su Yuan quickly formulated an action plan in his mind.

The sun had begun to set in the west, and the sky was tinged with orange-red hues at sunset.

He must hurry.

Before getting entangled with these scarecrows, it's best to get your supplies sorted out first, otherwise it would be a huge waste.

First destination: a farmhouse.

There are essential supplies there, especially reserves of food such as canned goods and seeds, which are fundamental to survival.

The second target is the barn.

Agricultural machinery is key to upgrading trains; only large enough machinery can provide a sufficient amount of iron.

Finally, there's the barn and the basement, where something seems just as dangerous as the scarecrow, or perhaps even more dangerous.

"Xiao Huo, I'll go search for supplies first. Later, I'll see if I can make a torch using heavy oil seaweed and some strips of cloth. Be ready to provide backup at any time," Su Yuan said, turning back to the driver's seat.

【Yes, Master! You can go without worry! I have plenty of fire!】

The little fire's voice carried a hint of tension. It shared information with Su Yuan, including knowing immediately after Su Yuan awakened his talent, and thus also received the hidden information that there were dangerous and strange creatures in the area.

"What do you mean 'go ahead with peace of mind'? Can't you say something nicer?"

He turned around and said "small fire," then Su Yuan no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, and nimbly jumped out of the car.
