Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 357: Whoever Draws It, Gets It

Moreover, there really aren’t many teams capable of exchanging for this Thunder Strike Gun.

After the exchange, who should get the gun?

This gun is indeed effective, so having it means having the ability for self-preservation.

After all, it needs to bind to your biological information, making it unusable by anyone else but you.

Would others be willing to give up the chance?

The eliminated ones don’t count, as their points were the 200 points willingly given by teams that teamed up with them. However, the challenger teams surely wouldn’t be happy about it.

Using their own points to give someone else a chance at self-preservation, can’t they keep it for themselves?

Teams with insufficient points, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. Since they can’t afford the exchange, they don’t have to struggle with the decision of whether to exchange, and if they do, who to give the gun to.

The one who’s really torn is the leader who raised his hand alongside Xu Yi. Naturally, he very much wants to make the exchange and even use it for himself.

However, he knows that the others definitely won’t agree; they also wish to have a Thunder Strike Gun for themselves.

Unless he could eliminate all his teammates and keep all the points for himself, to use for the exchange.

But he knows that relying on just one Thunder Strike Gun will not be enough to successfully face 100 days of challenges.

If he does that, there will be no other teams willing to collaborate with him.

After all, if he’s capable of getting rid of his own members, he would certainly abandon others without hesitation when danger strikes.

So, the best strategy is not to exchange.

Jerry and his group are also struggling with this decision. Since they too could exchange for one. However, deciding who should get the gun is indeed a headache.

Next, Xu Yi brought up an even more troubling issue.

"The Jungle Area is indeed very close, but within its range from here, there are many Fierce Beasts, numbering in the hundreds or even thousands, which wouldn’t be an exaggeration. As for how many there are within the Jungle Area, we still don’t know. And we’re not sure if the beasts inside are even stronger. However, I saw that many of the outer Fierce Beasts had entered the jungle, so what’s inside must be harder to deal with than the Desert beasts."

Normally, the jungle should be more suitable for survival than the desert.

If no one dares to enter, it’s most likely because they can’t survive inside.

"At this rate, we don’t even have the strength to enter the Jungle Area. With just 12 teams, it’s too few; I think we should unite the remaining teams. After all, there are still 97 teams in the desert, and only a small portion of us have gathered here," a challenger stood up and said, feeling that the number of people was too small at present.

"Not all teams are heading south, right? And this place is so large; it’s difficult to run into other teams. Perhaps, even after exhausting all our food and points, there may not be any other teams joining us!"

"What should we do, exhaust our resources here, and then raise the white flag and go back?" One of the leaders glanced at his teammates, feeling that he couldn’t be that cowardly.

Having endured 114 days, is there no courage left to even enter the Jungle Area?

"But can you handle it? Just 7 of them are enough to challenge our 70 people, what if 20 come, can we cope?" another person asked, as this question is indeed very realistic.

Who here doesn’t want to successfully challenge 500 days, who doesn’t want the 1 billion?

If you want it, you’ll definitely have to enter the Jungle Area in the end.

But can we handle it?

With just a few encounters today, it was so exhausting, some team members even almost got hurt. If we encounter more, stronger ones, and someone gets hurt or dies, will the defense instantly collapse, leading to more injuries and deaths?

Any possibility can happen.

"My suggestion is to advance meter by meter, and not take action at night," Xu Yi suggested. Staying in place and eating stored food without even trying is not something he would do.

Of course, he also wouldn’t be reckless. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

After all, the team consists of not just him and Lu Ke, but also Zhou Chun and Zhou Mo, and Liu Li and Cheng Jie.

After some discussion, everyone agreed to Xu Yi’s suggestion.

Create a united front, advance meter by meter, it’s relatively safer.

If we can advance, few teams would be willing to stay put.

"Let’s call it a day; everyone has gone through so many battles and traveled such a long way, and it’s almost dark," a leader stood up and said. After all, it’s already past 4 PM, and we can’t push much further.

Soon, other teams responded.

Thus, everyone agreed to stop for today, and take action after dawn tomorrow.

The 12 teams camped close to each other, with a 5-meter range from team to team. Whatever was said, those nearby could hear it quite clearly.

However, Xu Yi kept a greater distance from the other groups.

Of course, this was intentional on their part.

Another group was Jerry’s, and they were also preparing to discuss some matters.

"Xu Yi, should we still exchange for a Thunder Strike?" Zhou Chun asked quietly, knowing they still had 631 points, enough to exchange for one.

Zhou Chun believed Xu Yi came out for this matter.

"Yes, we have 631 points, enough to exchange for one. As for who it belongs to, you four will draw lots to decide." Xu Yi thought drawing lots was the simplest way, so no one could blame others. If anything, they could only blame their own luck.

"Aren’t you going to draw?" Cheng Jie looked at Xu Yi, surprised that he would voluntarily give up the chance.

"I don’t need it, the gun doesn’t offer much to me; you need it more." Xu Yi’s skills combined with his strength were more formidable than using the gun.

"Any objections? If not, let Lu Ke do the exchange, and then you draw lots." Xu Yi glanced at Zhou Chun and Zhou Mo, as these 600 points were mostly earned by the two of them.

"Go ahead with the exchange, I have no objections." Zhou Chun understood Xu Yi’s intentions and responded directly.

If he drew the lot, he would definitely give it to Zhou Mo, feeling that his son needed the Thunder Strike Gun more.

"Alright, Lu Ke, you do the exchange." Xu Yi then took out a bamboo chip from his space, and whittled a bamboo stick. Next, Xu Yi broke one of them in front of everyone.

"Whoever draws the short one gets the Thunder Strike Gun, no problem, right?" Xu Yi asked everyone.

Everyone nodded, expressing no objections.

So, Xu Yi turned his back, fiddled with the bamboo sticks in his hand, and then presented them to the crowd for drawing.

Zhou Chun was the first to draw, followed by Cheng Jie, Zhou Mo, and lastly Liu Li.
