Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 274: Team 403 Eliminated

"Xu Yi, come here, try and see if it’s too tight." Lu Ke handed the finished foot coverings to Xu Yi. These rabbit skins were very soft and should be quite comfortable to wear.

It’s so cold at night now, and they don’t have blankets, so having a pair of foot coverings can protect their feet from freezing while sleeping.

Xu Yi took the foot coverings and put them on.

"They’re just right, very comfortable to wear." Xu Yi stood up and took a few steps after putting them on.

If the bottom wasn’t so thin, they would actually be quite similar to boots.

"That’s good, I’ll sew another pair for you." Lu Ke said happily, and then started busying herself again.

"Sew yourself a pair first. It’s so cold now, you can’t sleep at night without foot coverings. I already have a pair, so there’s no rush to sew another for me," Xu Yi said, since he already had a pair on his feet.

"Alright, once I’ve finished sewing my own, I’ll sew another pair for you." Lu Ke said, starting to measure the length of her own feet after taking off her shoes.

Watching Lu Ke busying herself, Xu Yi got up and went to open the door.

The outside temperature was even lower than when it first started snowing, with huge snowflakes falling continuously.

There was already snow accumulated on the ground, and Xu Yi thought there were at least a few centimeters.

Perhaps because they had a fire burning inside, the temperature on the roof was relatively high, and there was no snow accumulation on it. The snowflakes fell and melted, forming rainwater.

This was actually good news; at least they didn’t have to worry about the snow being too thick and collapsing the roof.

Xu Yi was a bit worried about the roof of the deer pen, which already had a substantial amount of snow. Maybe by tomorrow morning, it would have collapsed.

Just hoped that the two reindeer inside the pen wouldn’t be crushed or frozen to death.

"Is the snow still heavy?" Lu Ke asked when she saw Xu Yi return.

"Yes, it’s quite heavy. Things don’t look promising, and it’s unsure what the situation will be tomorrow." Xu Yi said with some concern, estimating that even if the temperature rises tomorrow, the melting snow would likely cause flooding.

Perhaps their earthen kiln would be destroyed.

"We haven’t reached a hundred days yet, and this heavy snow came unexpectedly." Lu Ke said with a bit of helplessness, even though she and Xu Yi have been working hard on preparing the winter supplies, they’re still not ready.

If their camp hadn’t been destroyed once, they might have prepared adequately.

"Yes, but at least everyone has done some preparation, so it shouldn’t lead to immediate elimination. It’s also unknown how Wang Jin and Lu Yao are doing; they, like us, haven’t built their camp for long." Xu Yi said, somewhat worried, as he planned to collaborate with Lu Yao and Wang Jin.

"There shouldn’t be any problems; Sister Lu Yao is very capable, and Wang Jin is really trying hard to get stronger." Lu Ke expressed confidence in Lu Yao’s abilities.

"Let’s hope, only 28 days left until the hundred-day mark, hopefully everyone can hold on." Xu Yi thought that the hundred-day mark was a crucial point.

If possible, Xu Yi hoped that no group would be eliminated.

Though, aside from a few limited groups, he didn’t know or have any contact with others.

But everyone was working towards the same goal.

To persist for this long, everyone had put in countless efforts and sweat.

Just at this moment, Xu Yi and Lu Ke suddenly heard a voice.

"Group 403 has given up on the challenge."

"They actually gave up?" Xu Yi said in surprise, always thinking Group 403 had a chance to persist for 500 days, but unexpectedly they gave up.

"It’s indeed surprising, I thought they’d accomplish their goal and explore the whole island." Lu Ke said, surprised, even though she’d never met them, she knew they were very capable through descriptions.

"Luckily, they chose to give up rather than die, which is actually quite a good outcome." Xu Yi said, adding some firewood to the fire.

"Such a pity, had they not taken the wrong path, they might have held on to a hundred days."

"But it was pretty daring, jumping down and pressing the give-up button in mid-air, not afraid of failing to exit and crashing to death."

"But isn’t it better than being torn apart by dozens of Black Scale Lions? In the end, they were successfully transported back, weren’t they?"

"The snow really causes trouble; so many Black Scale Lions gathering together, had it been just one or two, they could have handled it."

"There’s not much use in discussing this now, such a waste of their points, they were nearing four hundred, with a score ranking in the top ten."

"Well, that’s hard to say, isn’t it rumored they might have a chance to return? That’s why there’s an eliminator community."

"Who knows how higher civilizations think, what if they change their minds later on?"

Viewers of the 403 live streaming room gradually left, since Group 403 had been eliminated, joining the eliminator community.

Their elimination still stirred some emotions among the remaining challengers.

Having gone quite a long period without any group being eliminated, the blizzard’s sudden arrival caused one group to give up.

This wasn’t good news, as it cast a shadow over all the groups.

In the camp, Lu Ke finished sewing her foot covers as Xu Yi had already fallen asleep.

With nothing else to do this evening, Xu Yi decided to go to sleep early.

Lu Ke watched Xu Yi sleeping, her slightly anxious heart calming down.

After staring blankly for a while, Lu Ke lay down to sleep.

Early the next morning, Lu Ke opened her eyes.

Then she noticed the space beside her was empty; Xu Yi had already gotten up.

She glanced at the time, 7:21, nearly two hours later than usual.

Actually, Xu Yi hadn’t been up for long.

Ten minutes ago, he was still clocking in for the seventy-eighth day.

Putting on clothes, Lu Ke felt about to get out of bed, didn’t change her foot covers, and went straight to open the door.

Opening the door, she saw Xu Yi standing in the corridor.

Outside, it was a vast expanse of white, the snow hadn’t melted.

The sky was overcast, appearing quite gloomy.

"You’re up." Xu Yi turned his head and said.

"The snow is really thick, we can’t go out today." Lu Ke said, looking at the snow, the temperature outside was very low, not as she had hoped, that the ice and snow would be melted by sunlight.

So, is the weather going to be like this from now on?

If it is, life will be challenging.

Even though they have plenty of potatoes to eat for a long time.

But if the snow keeps getting thicker, it might crush the roof, and it would be a hassle to re-do one at that time.
