Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 316: Might Makes Right

Xu Yi was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood.

A hundred days later, if they move to another place, the iron mine would become meaningless.

At most, they could only bring some refined pig iron, and even that might not be possible.

When they first arrived on this planet, they had a large backpack with them, but in the end, they were left with only a pair of underwear.

Therefore, only what is in the mind is truly what can be taken away.

External possessions, all external possessions are uncertain.

So compared to team 111, the father and son of team 313 do not have any advantage.

"Trust me, your choice won’t be wrong. Only by strong alliances can we successfully challenge 500 days. You could say we’re still in the Newbie Village now; the true start is a hundred days later." Qin Fan said with great confidence, as he needed someone powerful like Xu Yi.

Scoring over a thousand points immediately is enough to prove everything.

As for whether these points were earned through strength, intelligence, or luck, it doesn’t matter.

"So, who will have the final say in the future?" Xu Yi glanced at Qin Fan and asked.

"Everyone surviving until now has no problem handling the wilderness, and their decisions are mostly right. So, we can keep it straightforward and simple, whoever is the strongest will be the leader, and others will fully support. Our goal is the same, which is to challenge 500 days, not to fight over some throne, don’t you think?" Qin Fan chuckled and said.

"Moreover, idol, there’s a high chance you’ll be much stronger than my brother. So, we will fully support you once we collaborate, and together we will finish the remaining 400 days and then go back to collect the money." Qin Chao said earnestly, his eyes showing seriousness.

"Then, there’s no problem. I can go back and sleep now. I hope we’ll have a pleasant collaboration in the future." With that, Xu Yi took a puff of his cigarette and turned to leave.

After returning to the room, Xu Yi explained the situation to Lu Ke.

"Xu Yi, deciding so hastily, isn’t it a bit rash?" Lu Ke looked at Xu Yi. She felt that collaborating with Lu Yao and Wang Jin was fine, but they weren’t familiar with the Qin brothers.

"This Qin Fan is quite strong and can make firearms and bullets. I think not many teams have that capability. I know you’re worried about their character. But they made a good point, our goals align, and there’s no potential conflict. So, no matter which team we collaborate with, everyone can work together to finish the challenge."

"Also, people are quite similar to animals." Xu Yi said, patting the giant husky’s head, and continued, "If it doesn’t work out, we’ll beat them until they listen, as long as our fists are big enough."

Lu Ke nodded, her eyes turning into crescent moons.

Xu Yi was right. Everything else was a mirage; only one’s strength is something truly reliable. Maybe with collaboration, teammates might also get eliminated.

Strengthening oneself is the only way to ensure successfully completing the 500-day challenge.

For Lu Ke, Xu Yi is the only teammate she can fully rely on. Others, perhaps, aren’t really that important.

"Alright, let’s sleep then, it’s getting late." Xu Yi closed the door, not bothering with whatever Qin Fan and Qin Chao were up to.

For soldiers, especially professional soldiers, Xu Yi trusted them.

"Okay." Lu Ke nodded, took off her fur coat, and lay down on the bed.

Xu Yi lay down with her, then entered a state of Spiritual Meditation.

Lu Ke originally thought that after sleeping for so long and waking up, Xu Yi wouldn’t be able to fall asleep. But as soon as he lay down, his breathing became even and steady.

Soon after, Lu Ke also fell asleep.

Qin Fan and Qin Chao were still having dinner, occasionally glancing at Xu Yi and Lu Ke’s Stilt House.

"Brother, aren’t you going to find out about the situation of team 52?" Qin Chao asked, puzzled.

"No need. Cooperating with Xu Yi is equivalent to cooperating with team 52. But whether we can smoothly collaborate after a hundred days remains unknown. Xu Yi is too ordinary, not like a strong person at all, so green like a student, making him hard to read." Qin Fan took a sip of water, squinting as he spoke.

"Maybe my idol is just pure, without complex thoughts. Undeniably, there are many such people in this society." Qin Chao said seriously, having learned micro-expression analysis from his mother since childhood, he felt Xu Yi didn’t seem like a person with heavy scheming.

"Perhaps you’re right, but if that’s the case, Xu Yi is even more formidable and worth collaborating with. You’ve also said, lacking speaking power isn’t important, everyone’s goal is 500 days, a billion. But collaborating with experts benefits us more. For now, we can only pray the organizers will let us collaborate smoothly by then." Qin Fan said, then retracted his gaze.

They have now verbally reached a formal collaboration agreement with Xu Yi. Unless something unexpected happens, they should be able to collaborate smoothly.

Unless the organizers pull some tricks again. In that case, they can only pinch their noses and accept it.

It’s unimaginable how powerful the organizers could be. Perhaps, powerful enough to wipe out humanity.

Qin Chao nodded, then went to sleep.

After all, his brother, who can peacefully sleep on a Black Scale Lion, can nap during the day when nothing’s happening.

But he couldn’t. His body only returned to normal after arriving in this world, far inferior to Qin Fan.

Shortly after lying down, Qin Chao fell asleep.

Qin Fan took off the Tang sword from his back, placed it on his knees, and began to meditate.

With any slight noise, he’d open his eyes.

The night passed quickly; before dawn, Qin Fan heard sounds from Xu Yi’s camp. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Then, he saw a petite figure training over there.

Out of respect, Qin Fan didn’t watch for long. Confirming there was no danger, he sat back down and closed his eyes.

Ten minutes after Lu Ke woke up, Xu Yi opened his eyes.

"System, clock in."

Today marks the 94th day of clocking in and the 89th day since they arrived on this planet.

Still 11 days left until a full hundred days.

What that time would be like, Xu Yi was genuinely curious.

Everyone shared the consensus that after a hundred days, a new location might very well be assigned.

This island has too many animals and plants that are similar to those in their world, seemingly deliberately created. Furthermore, animals that didn’t originally live in the same environment are all on this island, making it inherently strange.
