Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 353: Encountering Other Teams Again

Zhou Chun shouted to Jerry and the others inside: "Jerry, Xu Yi and the team found green plants, they’re going over to check it out, let’s go too."

With that, Zhou Chun and his team packed up their sleeping bags and dashed in Xu Yi’s direction.

As they got closer, Xu Yi and Lu Ke could gradually see what the green area was.

There were indeed some plants growing there, but it amounted to less than 50 square meters.

Simply put, there was a water pit, and some plants growing around it.

"I thought it would be at least an oasis, but it’s just a small water pit." Lu Ke said with some frustration, looking at the pit that was less than two meters in diameter.

"Finding a pit like this in such a dry desert isn’t easy. Seems like quite a few animals come here to drink and then defecate here, which is why some weeds have grown." Xu Yi commented.

Considering the climate here is not favorable, with temperatures over forty degrees by day and below ten at night, such extreme temperature differences aren’t suitable for plant growth.

Moreover, there’s no soil here, it’s solely some animal droppings that have allowed these plants to grow, which makes it even more remarkable.

"If it weren’t for the heavy snow, this would be a great place for us to replenish our drinking water." Xu Yi said, jumping off the Black Qilin’s back.

"True, the water here looks very clear, and since other animals drink from it, it must be drinkable." Lu Ke nodded and said.

After ten minutes, Zhou Chun and his team arrived at the water pit.

They were quite disappointed to see just a few plants and a small water pit.

Originally, they thought there would be at least an oasis.

"At least we finally see some plants, otherwise I would’ve thought we were in a world without green plants." Lavinie said, looking at the weeds and commented.

The others nodded, they had been here for eight days now, and finally, they saw a bit of greenery.

"The scent of plants really lifts the mood." Jerry said happily, leaning down to the weeds and taking a deep breath.

They rested here for more than ten minutes, then continued heading south.

After all, there weren’t enough plants here to make a stop worthwhile.

But seeing the weeds, everyone became a bit more hopeful about reaching the Jungle Area.

In the afternoon, Xu Yi saw a few figures in the distance.

So, Xu Yi rode the Black Qilin towards them.

"Bang!"

Upon seeing the Black Qilin, those people immediately started shooting.

"Stop shooting, this is my mount." Xu Yi shouted loudly.

At this point, they stopped attacking.

"Xu Yi, it’s Xu Yi, the expert we’ve been talking about." One of the survivors recognized Xu Yi and shouted excitedly.

Xu Yi scratched his nose, not expecting himself to be so famous?

"Sorry, we thought a beast was attacking us, weren’t you hurt?" The leader stepped forward to ask, he had heard his team members talk about Xu Yi, so he had a good impression of him.

In the eyes of survivors, Xu Yi was a skilled, kind-hearted young man, gentle and clever, knowledgeable in many areas. In their eyes, Xu Yi was a wilderness survival expert, there was nothing he couldn’t handle.

Many survivors not only learned the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening from Xu Yi but also acquired many survival skills.

Many survivors particularly envied Cheng Jie and Liu Li from group 008, they wished desperately to team up with Xu Yi. Those who didn’t manage hoped their team could at least collaborate with Xu Yi’s.

After all, Xu Yi and Lu Ke were both reliable, trustworthy individuals, collaborating with them would provide more security. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Although they learned about other groups, some were decent in character and skill, but everyone preferred working alongside Xu Yi.

"No, can I come over and chat for a bit?" Xu Yi asked loudly, after all, they had shot from over 300 meters away and only fired once.

"Sure, come over, you’re very welcome." The leader responded.

With that, Xu Yi rode the Black Qilin closer.

"Xu Yi, how did you train such a species of fierce beast?" The leader asked enviously, thinking it would be quite impressive to tame one like Xu Yi.

"Through force and luck." Xu Yi smiled and said, then jumped off the Black Qilin.

"Xu Yi and Loli Ke have always been lucky, especially Loli Ke," a young man in his twenties said, then extended his hand to Xu Yi and continued, "I’m Zhang Bin, a fan of yours and Loli Ke’s."

"Loli Ke, seems she has such a nickname?" Xu Yi said, shaking hands with Zhang Bin.

"Yes, that’s what fans in your livestream call her. And there are many female fans who call you their husband. I’m Zhang Fu, also your fan." Zhang Fu laughed, thinking Cheng Jie and Liu Li unlikely to discuss such matters with Xu Yi.

Sure enough, Xu Yi was astonished upon hearing this.

Apparently, he even had ’wife fans’ now, quite impressive?

"I’m Jiang Yu, nice to meet you here. Those are your team members over there, right?" Jiang Yu introduced himself, then glanced at two teams approaching from a distance.

"Yes, one team is mine, and the other is our ally," Xu Yi explained, having come up also to see if Jiang Yu’s team might want to form an alliance.

As they approached the Jungle Area, the number of beasts would inevitably increase.

Several small teams might be insufficient to handle the situation, it would be best to rally more teams together.

Also, it provided a chance to locate Lu Yao’s team.

Partnering with others wasn’t as reassuring for Xu Yi as teaming up with Lu Yao and Su Yan.

"Can we also ally with you, are there any requirements for the alliance?" Jiang Yu quickly asked, instinctively sensing Xu Yi might have come for this reason for his team.

"There are a few requirements: firstly, if any team encounters an attack, other teams must collectively defend without holding back. Another requirement is that teams maintain a safety distance of over ten meters and don’t interfere with each other usually." Xu Yi outlined his alliance requirements; he allied merely to fend off beasts, not to be someone’s boss, nor coveted others’ supplies.

His alliance was quite simple, absolutely equitable for everyone.

Naturally, this type of alliance wasn’t suitable for the ambitious.

So, was Jiang Yu ambitious?
