Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 100: Don’t Want to Go Back

"Xu Yi, that’s enough, it’s too heavy if we carry too much." Lu Ke looked at the basket full of grapes and stopped.

"Alright, that’s about enough." Xu Yi put the last bunch of grapes into the basket and then sheathed his dagger.

Next, the two found a spot to sit down and prepare for lunch.

"Nature really is full of surprises; we came looking for a beehive and found so many grapes." Lu Ke commented, amazed by the unexpected bounty from today’s outing.

"Yeah, you never know what you’ll find." Xu Yi smiled slightly, accepting the smoked meat slice Lu Ke handed him.

"Even though we didn’t catch any prey today, we’re not empty-handed." Lu Ke took a bite of her meat slice and glanced at the distant beehive.

"Yes, grapes are good too. We really need fruits and vegetables; after all, we have plenty of meat." Xu Yi said while chewing on a slice of meat.

The two chatted casually for a bit and finished their lunch.

Though each meal was just meat slices, they didn’t complain.

In the wilderness, being able to eat meat slices was such a blessing.

Many groups might often go hungry.

For instance, yesterday Xu Yi met group 52. Wang Jin mentioned that they occasionally had to go hungry.

Not every group can have a full meal every time.

One should learn to be content.

After resting for a while, Xu Yi picked up the basket.

It weighed about seventy or eighty pounds, which was nothing for Xu Yi.

The two walked back, taking over an hour to return to the camp.

There were no signs of animal intrusion in the camp.

After putting down the grapes, Lu Ke took them out of the basket and placed them on the table.

Xu Yi went to check the septic tank and found the water inside had evaporated.

Then, Xu Yi went to chop trees, selecting a few branches of suitable size, with forks, and brought them back.

After bringing back all four, Lu Ke told Xu Yi to go cut some thatch, as they were still lacking numerous thatch pieces.

Thus, Xu Yi went to cut thatch pieces while Lu Ke took Xu Yi’s Engineer Shovel and began digging holes.

When Xu Yi returned with several bundles of thatch, Lu Ke had already dug three pits and buried the posts in them.

Lu Ke’s performance surprised Xu Yi.

He hadn’t expected that she could accomplish such work.

It turned out, he had somewhat underestimated Lu Ke all this time.

"Let me handle this work, you go deal with the thatch pieces." Xu Yi said to the sweaty Lu Ke.

Lu Ke nodded and smiled happily, "Not bad, I didn’t expect my stamina to be so good now."

"It does surprise me." Xu Yi said truthfully, thinking it might be due to the effect of enhancement supplements?

After all, his physical strength now was quite outstanding; carrying a hundred pounds and walking for several hours was no problem.

He definitely couldn’t do this before.

"Maybe it’s because of this world, so I don’t want to leave. Xu Yi, after surviving 500 days, we shouldn’t be forced to leave, right?" Lu Ke said while looking at Xiao Bai. After all, the higher civilization controlling Xiao Bai would make the final decision.

"I don’t think so; we can explore other places by then. This is just an island, and there are other continents. This world should be spectacular." Xu Yi touched his nose, quite looking forward to exploring everywhere.

"Xu Yi, do you think there are groups without a camp, just roaming around?" Lu Ke thought if her skills were strong enough, it would indeed be more interesting.

"Probably, some people just love adventure." Xu Yi said with some envy, thinking if Lu Ke were also a very skilled survival expert, they could do it.

Roaming around exploring is more challenging.

Building a camp to survive is relatively easier.

"That mode should be more interesting." Lu Ke patted her dusty hands and continued, "I’ll go deal with the thatch, aim to get the thatch needed for the toilet done today."

Xu Yi nodded, then stuck the Engineer Shovel into the soil and began digging a pit.

Twenty minutes later, Xu Yi finished digging the pit.

Then, he buried the last post.

After that, Chu Yi fixed the beam above.

Once these tasks were done, Xu Yi jumped into the septic tank and began digging.

This task was not only dull but also exhausting.

Digging until past five in the afternoon, Xu Yi finally came out.

When he emerged, his clothes were soaked.

When taking off his clothes, the female viewers in the live stream were mesmerized.

"Xu Yi’s physique keeps getting better; it’s even more appealing than those from the gym."

"Yeah, absolutely, it might not look overly muscular, but it makes him seem strong!"

"What’s so good about pure muscle, this is real power, without an ounce of excess fat. The gym ones are all for show."

"Exactly, exactly, look at those soldier boys, they don’t seem very muscular, but they’re very strong."

"Swooning, swooning, Xu Yi is too handsome, this is what a man should look like."

"A man without sweat is just a sissy."

"My goodness, when did Xu Yi get so many female fans?"

"But indeed, his body’s outline is quite nice."

"If you guys like this so much, there are plenty of men like this on construction sites."

"If not handsome, what’s the use of just having a nice body?"

"You’re allowed to like Loli Ke, but we can’t like Xu Yi?"

Xu Yi didn’t even realize that taking off his clothes would cause such a stir in the live stream.

He was simply too hot, and the clothes were wet and sticky, making him uncomfortable.

Seeing Xu Yi bare-chested didn’t elicit much reaction from Lu Ke, given Xu Yi had been topless from the beginning.

"It’s too hot, I’ll take a shower first." Xu Yi said to Lu Ke and then prepared to take out the stones from the fire pit.

"Use the clay pots, they hold more water. It’s indeed very muggy today, feels like there’s going to be a thunderstorm." Lu Ke glanced at Xu Yi, offering a suggestion, as clay pots could hold more water.

Xu Yi nodded, grabbed two clay pots to fill with water, and washed up.

"Looking at the sky, it doesn’t seem like rain, I’ll be worried if it rains now." Xu Yi was indeed afraid of rain, worrying it might be endless once it starts, greatly hindering daily life.

"Boom!"

A clap of thunder sounded, validating Lu Ke’s recent words.

Looking up at the sky, Lu Ke stuck out her tongue.

Actually, she didn’t wish for rain either, nor did she want to be so accurate with her words.
