Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 328: Landing to Face the Challenge Again
"Yan Jie, your luck is really something else. Qin Fan and Lu Yao are both very strong; taking you to level up should be very stable," Xu Yi said somewhat sourly. He really hoped he could collaborate with Qin Fan and Lu Yao, as working with them greatly increased the chances of victory.
"Really, do I really have a lucky charm attribute?" Su Yan said bashfully. Ever since she was eliminated, she and Yun Qing had been watching the livestreams of Xu Yi and Lu Ke, so naturally, she knew Xu Yi was planning to team up with Lu Yao, Wang Jin, and the Qin brothers.
But she never expected that in the end, she would actually be cooperating with them.
"No need to doubt it, it’s definitely there; this luck is unbeatable," Lu Ke couldn’t help but add enviously.
Just then, Zhou Chun and Zhou Mo came over with women.
"Brother Xu, Sister Lu, these are our new partners," Zhou Mo took the initiative to introduce.
"I’m Liu Li, I grew up in the mountains. You’re my idol," Liu Li said, extending her hand to Xu Yi.
"Cheng Jie, thanks for the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening; it really relieves stress," Cheng Jie nodded at Xu Yi, as if that was her introduction.
Xu Yi shook Liu Li’s hand, then nodded at Cheng Jie and said, "Did you guys take any weapons? Guns, grenades, crossbows?"
Liu Li’s face turned red, and she said, "I brought some water and food, then a machete, an axe, a water bottle, and nothing else."
"I have 5 grenades; the rest are food and water. As for weapons, I have a crossbow, thirty arrows, and a pot, that’s it," Cheng Jie reported her choices.
Zhou Chun frowned slightly, then glanced at Xu Yi.
Now, they were a team, with shared interests.
Liu Li didn’t seem very useful, probably only capable of supporting herself.
"Xu Yi, should we make a trade?" Su Yan suddenly suggested. After all, she and Qin Yue both took guns.
"No need; everyone’s Storage Space is limited. Besides, we don’t know how to use guns; we might as well make our own Hunting Bows," Xu Yi said with a smile, preferring food and water.
Cheng Jie and Liu Li didn’t look like military personnel, nor did they seem capable of using firearms. Not taking them was quite normal.
Cheng Jie having taken 5 grenades was quite a surprise to Xu Yi.
"There are clothes and shoes over here; come get them quickly, time is running out," someone shouted in the hall.
Then, everyone rushed over immediately.
The scene quickly became chaotic. However, the chaos didn’t last long. A few people soon stepped up to organize everyone into a line.
Looting would only waste more time.
Once people received the overalls and shoes, they put them on right away.
Those who had suited up immediately spread out to see if they could find any other supplies.
But everyone discovered that besides the clothes and shoes, there were no other supplies.
After some time, the Star Chart in everyone’s hand vibrated slightly.
"Good luck; teleportation begins!"
Then, Xu Yi felt a darkness come over his eyes.
"Lu Ke," Xu Yi called out, because he had held onto Lu Ke’s hand before the teleportation, but now his hand was empty.
"Xu Yi, I’m here," Lu Ke said as she gathered herself up. She felt the ground was all stones, but it was too dark to see anything.
"All teams have been transported. Your primary task now is to find your teammates. Only when three team members gather together can you use points, unless the other team members opt-out or die. The Star Chart can call up the map to see the location of your teammates."
"Currently, you are in a vast Wilderness Area; vegetation is sparse and beasts are relatively rare, so it’s a relatively safe zone. Our supply drops can only be delivered in this area. Once you leave the Wilderness and enter the Jungle Area, you are on your own."
"For the next hundred days, larger teams can collaborate or attack each other. You can trade or plunder resources from others."
"So, become strong, stronger, make yourself stronger!"
"One last piece of advice: If you want to give up, make sure you do so quickly, or you might not have time to be teleported away!"
After that sentence ended, only silence remained.
Indeed, this was the Wilderness; without many animals, there naturally was no sound of insects or birds.
Xu Yi felt his body and discovered that besides the clothes from the hall, even his fur coat was missing.
Looking at it this way, the organizers really set a trap.
If no one had discovered the clothes and shoes in the hall, wouldn’t everyone have frozen to death on this wasteland?
"The current time is 4:12; there should be about two hours until daylight," Lu Ke said, after touching her Star Chart.
At this moment, Xu Yi had also found the map.
A 3D projection map, but it was a white grid map, with 5 points; one red dot represented themselves, and the other 4 were blue points, representing the two other group members.
Moreover, the distance could also be seen.
Perhaps due to the organizers’ transportation technology issues. Normally, a 6-member team should be transported to the same location.
"Xu Yi, what should we do now? Wait until daylight, or go find them now for a meetup?" Lu Ke asked. She was particularly thankful now that she had brought 0.5 cubic meters of water.
In the Wilderness Area, with no plants, finding water would be very difficult.
According to the organizer, the 6-member team cooperation actually has little significance. Apart from being able to use points, Lu Ke hadn’t seen any benefits.
So why did the organizers want them to form teams?
Wouldn’t it be better if it were just their own small team, so that they wouldn’t have to deal with potential conflicts among members?
Didn’t they say that larger teams can also cooperate? What was the purpose of the 6-person team?
But the organizer had these rules, so you can only follow them.
Being weak is like that; if they were strong enough to deal with the organizers, they could set the rules themselves.
"They’re moving, so let’s wait here. It’s too dark, and we can’t see the situation," Xu Yi said, pulling out a machete and dagger from the Star Chart Space.
This desolate land was too unfamiliar to them.
Currently, apart from the cold, they were completely in the dark about other conditions.
The ground was extremely icy; they couldn’t sit down, so they had to stand and wait for daylight.
For Xu Yi, even standing, he could enter the state of Spiritual Meditation, so waiting until morning wasn’t an issue.
Moreover, once in the Spiritual Meditation state, the waiting seemed to vanish.
When the sun rose the next day, Xu Yi emerged from his Spiritual Meditation and saw the world before him.
It was a world of black and gray, with black and gray rocks stretching endlessly, as if one could see no end.
In sight, no greenery could be found.
Therefore, without enough water and food, one would surely perish in the Wilderness, without any opportunity to escape.
It was vast, incredibly vast, and even after walking for days and nights, one might not make it out.
And as for the Jungle Area, even the organizer mentioned they couldn’t ensure the delivery of items exchanged for points, how perilous must that be?
