Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 342: Can We Pull Off a Heist?

"Do you want to trade?" Zhou Chun couldn’t help but ask. He thought the binoculars were quite good and could be useful in the future.

Xu Yi nodded and then shouted over to the other side, "We can trade, send someone over carrying the injured."

"Okay, we’ll be right there," the other party happily responded, knowing that without stitching, that wound would be difficult to heal, severely affecting their speed and combat power.

The desert is so dangerous that every team member is extremely important.

Soon, someone came over carrying another person.

Lu Ke and Zhou Mo continued to aim their crossbows at those in the distance, while Cheng Jie aimed at the two who were coming with Lu Ke’s short crossbow.

Xu Yi and Zhou Chun were also on guard, ready to take action at any time.

Liu Li carried the medical kit, which contained suturing needles and thread, as well as disinfectant spray and pain-relief spray.

These were all arranged by Xu Yi after agreeing to the trade, to prevent any possible plots from the other party.

Better safe than sorry. If the other party really had any schemes, it would be too late for regrets.

Soon, the two arrived in front of Xu Yi and his group. Neither had star charts on their wrists, evidently worried that Xu Yi’s group might seize them.

"The abdomen, please." With that, the person bowed to Liu Li.

The injured person’s abdomen was already stained red with blood, so Liu Li squatted down and took out the suturing needle and thread.

The injured person bit onto a hat, then lifted their shirt.

There were three wounds on his abdomen, almost cutting it open.

"Can I do the suturing? I’m a doctor," said the person carrying the injured individual.

Liu Li saw Xu Yi nod and then said, "Of course, this is a pain-relief spray, very effective, and the other is for disinfection."

These details were naturally told to Liu Li by Xu Yi.

Then, the injured person handed the monocular to Liu Li.

The suturing was quick, completed in less than five minutes, after which the doctor returned the items to Liu Li.

"Thank you." Saying this, he lifted the injured person and left.

Xu Yi and his group did not leave, as the military daggers they were trading for had not yet been delivered.

The other group didn’t leave either.

Once the doctor returned carrying the injured person, one of them immediately asked, "How about it, Dr. Oda? How’s that group, can we take them?"

"It’s tough, I can sense they’re not weak. In terms of weapons, they have two crossbows and a short crossbow. Although we have a rifle, a crossbow, and two hunting bows, the advantage isn’t obvious. Moreover, they’re very defensive. If we attack, they’ll form an effective counterattack immediately," Oda said seriously. He did go to suture but also to scout.

If Xu Yi’s group wasn’t well-defended or lacked ranged weapons, they would have taken the opportunity to rob them.

"Such a pity, if we could take this group down, resource worries would be over. Couldn’t we trade for a few more crossbows to capture them, then force them to use points to exchange for supplies?" another group member said reluctantly.

"I think you’re oversimplifying it. They just went through a battle and have three scale wolf corpses over there. Plus, they even captured one alive. These six people are very strong, stronger than us. I think we should worry about whether they have their eyes on us," the injured person sneered, thinking his companions were too conceited.

"Let’s go, we need to leave quickly." Upon hearing that Xu Yi’s group had captured a scale wolf alive, they immediately sensed danger.

The others also nodded, quickly starting to act, not wanting to linger another moment. After all, they still had an injured person, which would be a disadvantage if they fought.

"Xu Yi, they’ve left, and it seems in quite a hurry." Observing this, Lu Ke informed Xu Yi.

"It seems they indeed planned to rob us just now. I sensed a bit of hostility from that injured person," Xu Yi said thoughtfully, as he had just used spiritual power to sense the injured person and the doctor.

In terms of utilizing spiritual power, Xu Yi felt he could experiment more.

So he thought of trying to sense others’ emotions or the like and unexpectedly sensed something different. He felt a coldness on the injured person, but not on the doctor.

Xu Yi decided that the cold feeling could be interpreted as hostility.

"Really? Even after we helped them, they thought of robbing us?" Zhou Mo found Xu Yi’s news quite shocking.

"It’s entirely possible; our ancestors always taught us never to be without distrust. If they had nothing to hide, why leave so hastily?" Zhou Chun immediately chimed in. Zhou Mo was his son, and it was natural for him to educate him.

If someone else said this, Zhou Mo might have felt uncomfortable.

Zhou Mo nodded, saying nothing further.

Ten minutes later, the delivery flying ball appeared.

After delivering three Mitsubishi military daggers, the flying ball left.

Xu Yi weighed the dagger in his hand, finding the grip excellent.

After a few swings, Xu Yi thrust the dagger into the Desert Scale Wolf and found it pierced right through. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Nice and sharp, such a wound would make prey die quickly," Xu Yi said happily, then handed the dagger to Liu Li.

Weekend, Cheng Jie, and Liu Li each received a military dagger.

Additionally, Cheng Jie also got Lu Ke’s short crossbow.

Their original hunting bows were too long to fit into the Star Chart’s Storage Space, so they had to carry them. However, on the 100th day, when they gathered in the hall, the hunting bows weren’t transmitted together.

So their ranged weapons were quite limited unless they wanted to trade points for crossbows and crossbow arrows.

Currently, Xu Yi didn’t have such plans.

Nobody knew how far it was to the Jungle Area from here. If it took ten days to half a month, or even longer, the water they carried wouldn’t last that long. Then they would need to use points to trade for drinking water.

A 350ml bottle of water requires 10 points, which is quite expensive.

However, it does come with a plastic bottle. Additionally, there are other sizes of mineral water available for trade.

So Xu Yi agreed with everyone that they should avoid using points unless necessary.

Once they truly reached the Jungle Area and decided not to stay in the Desert, they could exchange everything all at once for the supplies they needed, allowing for the most optimal use of points.
