Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 155: Discovering the Camp

"Sis, you really think I’m not gonna die, huh? Hurry up and take a shower, you smell terrible." Saying this, Wang Jin pushed Lu Yao away, then picked up a mango, intending to eat one or two before going to sleep.

Lu Yao shot a disdainful glance at Wang Jin, then picked up a torch and went to draw water.

They would like to direct the water to their camp, but their camp is at a much higher elevation than the water source, so to bring water to the camp, they would need to build a waterwheel.

This is quite a technical task; maybe Xu Yi could do it, but Lu Yao and Wang Jin definitely couldn’t.

There was no choice but to carry the water by hand. Thankfully, it wasn’t too far, just a minute or two. For over a month, they hadn’t been attacked by any wild animals when fetching water.

Now, Lu Yao is actually hoping for an animal attack to earn some points or something.

Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.

Up to now, they’ve only managed to get 5 points.

Returning with the water, Wang Jin was still there eating mangoes, with juice all over her mouth.

"Don’t you care about your image at all? How are you ever going to get married like that?" Lu Yao said with a hint of resignation. Wang Jin took care in every other aspect, except she never restrained her eating manner.

"Sis, you must be joking. There are at least ten battalions waiting to take me home and treat me like royalty. But why should I get married, isn’t being single great?" Wang Jin said somewhat smugly. With money and good looks, why worry about getting married?

Besides, why is marriage a necessity?

If she hasn’t met a man worth marrying, why should she lower her quality of life?

What’s the point of having money if she can’t spend it however she likes, why involve someone else just to spend her money?

Why not just give it to her parents?

Either way, if Wang Jin doesn’t meet a man she’d go all in for, she’d rather live alone.

There are plenty of men who think like her too.

Spending tens of thousands to marry someone who’s been with numerous others, and in return wants to be the lady of the house, is truly ridiculous.

"You didn’t used to say that." Lu Yao placed the hot stones into the water bucket, then glanced at Wang Jin.

"People change. If I met someone who completely captivated me, I’d still get married, hehe." Saying this, Wang Jin picked up another mango.

After Lu Yao finished washing up, Wang Jin went inside to sleep.

Last night, she didn’t sleep well outside Xu Yi’s camp. Today, after being nagged by Lu Yao all night, she was exhausted. As soon as she lay down, she quickly fell asleep.

She slept so deeply that when a wild wolf attacked in the middle of the night, she didn’t wake up.

Lu Yao didn’t deal with the wolf; she just dragged it into the camp from outside and went back to sleep.

By around 4 AM, many viewers had flocked to Xu Yi and Lu Ke’s live-stream channel.

Sitting vigil for the sunrise was their shared purpose.

"Xu Yi, are you awake?" In the dark, Lu Ke suddenly spoke.

"Yeah, I’m awake." Xu Yi sat up, and everything around was still pitch black.

Above, the starry sky was stunningly beautiful.

The sky was filled with stars, somewhat different from what one sees on Earth. You couldn’t find the Big Dipper or the Milky Way. However, the stars here were denser, some even looked as big as a baby’s fist.

With no vegetation around, no light pollution, this was a perfect spot for stargazing.

"Xiao Bai, turn the camera toward the starry sky," Lu Ke said, believing such a beautiful night sky should be shared with the audience of her live stream.

"Wow, Loli Ke knows how to spoil her fans, love it."

"What a beautiful starry sky, it’s a bit different from ours."

"Oh my, is that a pink nebula? A visible nebula?"

"Mom, this starry sky is so beautiful, so dreamy."

"I’m super envious. As a deep-space enthusiast, I really want to lug my equipment to this planet!"

"It’s brightening, it’s brightening; the day is about to break."

"This sun looks a bit bigger than ours, but otherwise, the sunrise here isn’t that different."

"After all, it’s not too different; they are stars, aren’t they?"

"It’s also a reddish-orange; it looks quite beautiful."

"Uh-huh, I think their air is good, it looks especially clear."

"I think the starry sky is more beautiful than the sunrise; thank goodness I took lots of screenshots earlier."

While the viewers were watching the sunrise, Xu Yi and Lu Ke were also enjoying it.

"So beautiful," Lu Ke said as she got up, stretched, and moved her body.

It was her first time watching the sunrise; it was much more beautiful than what she had seen in phone videos. Especially when the sun rose bit by bit above the horizon, the vast sky and sea were suddenly bathed in dazzling golden light.

Xu Yi nodded. Under the early morning light, he started moving his body, preparing to practice the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening.

While turning his head, he caught sight of a golden ’mirror’ out of the corner of his eye.

A lake?

Xu Yi turned around and took a look.

Indeed, it was a lake, and it seemed to be quite large.

Then, Xu Yi saw a pattern, a cross shape.

Xu Yi was taken aback, then said to Lu Ke, "Lu Ke, look over there."

Lu Ke followed the direction Xu Yi was pointing at and saw a cross-shaped pattern by the lake.

"It’s... It’s Su Yan and Yun Qing’s camp, it has their names," Lu Ke exclaimed excitedly, then cupped her hands to her mouth and shouted the two names.

Xu Yi didn’t do the same because it was quite a distance away, their voices definitely couldn’t carry that far.

"They don’t seem to hear us," a red-faced Lu Ke turned around and said to Xu Yi.

"Let’s get ready; we’ll go check out their camp." Xu Yi thought that since they had found it, they definitely needed to go over and take a look.

"Alright, I can’t believe what a coincidence it is that we found Yan and Qing’s camp here," Lu Ke said happily, then assumed her stance and began practicing the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening.

After finishing the forms, they rinsed their mouths with water and ate some jerky.

Whenever they went out, they would bring extra jerky, usually enough for both of them for two days. After all, if they ran into unexpected situations, they wouldn’t go hungry.

Now, it’s finally coming in handy.

Full and satisfied, the two of them set off.

Even though their water was running low, Xu Yi estimated it would take at most two hours to reach the lake. By then, they could boil some water.

As they headed toward the lake, they encountered a few rabbits along the way.

Of course, Xu Yi and Lu Ke didn’t let the opportunity pass by and shot three.

With that, lunch and dinner were settled, and they could save their dried rations. After all, they needed to return to their camp; they might even need to spend the night in the jungle.
