Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 326: The Elimination Candidates’ Choice
"Sister Yan, are you going to continue?" Yun Qing glanced at Su Yan and asked curiously.
She had no way to continue.
Continuing meant there was no way back, needing to stay on that planet. Moreover, very likely, she would die.
They were not like Xu Yi and the others; Xu Yi and the others still had a chance to give up. After all, it was rare when one couldn’t give up in time.
If it weren’t for her parents, she thought that if she hardened her heart, she might have continued the challenge.
"I want to, but I need to consider it. The cost of continuing is not small. I can’t convince my parents," Su Yan said truthfully, after all, the organizers made it clear.
For many people, if they can’t come back, that bonus won’t have any use for them and would only be for their family. However, Su Yan’s family didn’t lack money.
If she really continued the challenge, what about her family?
There’s also a very real problem, over a 40% death rate, which she found a bit unacceptable.
This means the new challenge location would be even more dangerous.
An hour for thinking is still too short.
At this moment, a man’s voice rang out in the hall.
"Just a reminder, once someone succeeds in the challenge, that planet will belong to us. So, your family can also go there to live."
"As for the benefits on that planet, you know better than us! Honestly, I envy you, envy that you still have a second choice."
"Of course, the risk is great, you could die at any moment. So, you need to consider carefully. Alright, I’ve finished, you have 57 minutes left to think."
Saying this, a countdown timer appeared in the hall, clearly something put together last minute.
After hearing it, Su Yan’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.
That’s right, her parents could also go to that planet in the future.
So, after completing the challenge for 500 days, it’s not impossible to come back.
As long as you survive the challenge and complete the 500 days, you don’t have to worry about not being able to take care of your parents later on.
There were quite a few people who thought like Su Yan.
An hour of time, though, isn’t long, would soon pass. Then, they would have to make their choice.
Once the decision is made, passing through that Star Gate, there’s no way to return.
For Xu Yi and the others, two hours felt pretty long, considering the two of them together only had 1 cubic, really not much.
Considering that teaming up might have been arranged by the organizers, they could only consider their own small team when choosing items, not others.
"Lu Ke, use your Star Chart to store water. If the place we go is hard to find water, enough water can allow us to last longer." After Xu Yi came down from the room, he said to Lu Ke.
After all, in Xu Yi’s two cubes, 1 cubic was jerky, another 1 cubic was potatoes and yams.
The yams and potatoes had quite large gaps, so Xu Yi put some black pepper and dried mangoes inside.
Fortunately, the potatoes and yams were washed and dried before storing, which would save a lot of washing water in the future. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"Sure, I’ll use it to store water, see if I can store it directly without a container." Lu Ke thought having a mobile water tank wasn’t bad.
"Great, this makes it much more convenient." Lu Ke said happily, then put all the water inside, and since it wasn’t full, Lu Ke boiled the water from the bucket in a clay pot.
With more than an hour left, it was enough time for her to boil all the water and store it in the Storage Space.
As for the Engineer Shovel, steel pot, machete, and the like, Xu Yi put them into his Star Chart.
His Star Chart was mostly filled with jerky, and the remaining space had some yams, potatoes, and the like, each filled like a sample.
After all, Xu Yi relied on his system’s two cubes. No matter how others stored, they couldn’t surpass him.
Unless they robbed someone else’s Star Chart.
But with the global live broadcast, I guess not many people would do something like that?
Soon, an hour passed.
All the eliminated gathered again.
The choice was in their hands.
A huge white ball had appeared in the hall.
This white ball came from the Star Gate.
"Now, those who give up, please remove your Star Chart and put it inside the white ball, then leave the site." A voice sounded.
Then, the first person removed their Star Chart, walked up, placed it inside, and was quickly taken away from the site, with arrangements for someone to send them home later.
Then, came the second, the third... popping up...
teams persisted for 100 days, there were 224 eliminated teams, 7 people died, leaving 441 eliminated.
But the number of those staying was less than 50.
And mostly from the U.S., U.K., and included Africans.
"Sister Yan, are you really going to stay?" Yun Qing didn’t know how Su Yan convinced her parents, or whether she hadn’t contacted them at all?
"Yes, I feel I should figure out the situation in that world, figure out Lu Ke’s situation. If Lu Ke can recover, maybe my mom can too," Su Yan said firmly, even though her mother’s condition was early and treatment was effective, but there was still the risk of recurrence.
Perhaps, on Spirit Blue Star, the human defense system could kill any disease.
"We can get some data through video too, there’s no need to take the risk." Yun Qing still advised, given the high risk of death.
They had no chance to give up.
"But I’m more envious of people like Xu Yi, who can grow stronger day by day. And I have half a cubic of space, I can take firearms and bullets from here. For Xu Yi and them, our supplies should be valuable. Protecting me for a while to let me grow should not be a problem, right?" Su Yan became more confident as she spoke.
"You’re right, if we have firearms and bullets, we’d be more valuable to the challengers, so we should only take weapons. I’m Qin Yue, cousin of Qin Fan from team 111, I was a female special forces member, can I invite you to team up, Dr. Su?" A very beautiful woman stepped up to Su Yan and extended her hand.
Su Yan hesitated, then shook Qin Yue’s hand and nodded firmly.
"Sister Yan, take care, I wish you success in your 500-day challenge," Yun Qing said, unable to harden her heart, to leave everything and continue the challenge.
Moreover, she felt she was too weak, she might die within a day if she went back.
