Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 196: What’s Left

"It seems like our place was the landing point, which is why it looks so terrifying. This storm only eliminated about twenty teams, similar to the number eliminated in the last territory task," Wang Jin continued to explain, feeling more justified as he spoke.

"Discussing this doesn’t seem to have much meaning. Let’s hope the storm doesn’t come again," Lu Ke said, seeing Wang Jin’s excitement.

"Yeah, the organizers are so omnipotent. What can we mere mortals do besides accept it?" Wang Jin said, glaring at the camera ball.

Even if her guess was true, what could she do about it?

Besides proving how powerful the organizers are, powerful enough to control the weather, there was nothing else they could do, nothing they could change.

"What should we do now?" Lu Yao glanced at Xu Yi.

"Find a suitable place to set up camp again; there’s no other way. After all, the challenge must go on," Xu Yi wasn’t scared off by this terrifying storm and was ready to continue the challenge.

"Last time I heard from Lu Ke that you were moving the camp. Can we come along? Don’t worry, this time, we definitely won’t be that close," Lu Yao said, thinking that if they wanted to cooperate with Xu Yi in a hundred days, they at least needed to know the location of his camp to find him for cooperation.

If it’s too close, it would create pressure on each other’s survival. So this time, if Lu Yao chooses a camp, it should be at least four hours away from Xu Yi’s camp.

This way, their hunting range would be a bit larger.

Xu Yi nodded, not refusing.

Lu Yao had promised not to be that close, so it would be unreasonable not to agree.

No matter what, they now considered themselves friends who had gone through hardships together.

It’s normal that they would cooperate in a hundred days.

However, it’s also possible that Wang Jin and Lu Yao might not last a hundred days.

On this planet, it’s really hard to say what will happen tomorrow.

"Sister, shouldn’t we go back to our own camp to take a look?" Wang Jin glanced at Lu Yao, thinking about all the food, furs, and her favorite dried mangoes in the camp.

"No need, with such a strong wind, the camp couldn’t possibly still exist, and nothing would be left behind. So don’t harbor any illusions," Lu Yao knew Wang Jin was thinking about the stuff in the camp.

Unfortunately, nothing was left.

The jungle disappeared; how could anything be left in their camp?

Just then, Lu Ke suddenly exclaimed, "Clothes, my clothes made from wolf skin."

Xu Yi turned his head and indeed saw a corner of the wolf skin.

So, Lu Ke and Xu Yi headed over there.

Lu Ke originally wanted to pull it out, but the wolf skin was trapped under something and couldn’t be pulled out immediately.

As a result, Xu Yi and Lu Ke started moving the broken logs pressing on top of it.

"Maybe there are some things left in our camp too, since we had a cave there, maybe some things wouldn’t blow away," Wang Jin still unwilling to give up, thought about going back once.

"Go ahead, it’s not even six o’clock yet, it’s still early," Xu Yi said to Lu Yao, knowing she might be worried about them moving to the new camp immediately.

"Alright then, we’ll be back soon. We’ll leave the Tree Sheep carcass here for now," said Lu Yao, stepping out of the pile of broken trees.

Now that the jungle had disappeared and their view was clear, they could hop and run over, saving a lot of time.

After a while, Xu Yi and Lu Ke moved the broken logs from above.

"Xu Yi, the pottery jar, our pottery jar is still here, that’s great," Lu Ke said happily, pointing at the pottery jar below.

"Luckily, we dug this pit, otherwise it would have been smashed," Xu Yi grinned, sharing the happiness.

This pottery jar took Lu Ke a long time to make, and making it again would be troublesome and time-consuming.

"The other two pottery jars are also intact, but the one with the grape wine broke, so frustrating," Lu Ke said, picking up the remaining two intact jars.

One jar held honey, and the other grape wine.

"Let’s keep searching. We’re on a stone wall, maybe the wind didn’t blow everything away," Lu Ke thought they might find more stuff since they found the upper garment she sewed and two jars and a pot.

After all, waiting for Lu Yao and Wang Jin would take at least two hours, so they could use the time to search thoroughly.

Xu Yi nodded, hoping to find more items.

So, they continued moving broken logs and branches from the camp.

After two hours of busy work, the two hadn’t found much and only saw some shattered pottery on the ground.

"So frustrating, why couldn’t we have more luck, we only found the Engineer Shovel and a steel pot," Lu Ke stomped her foot, feeling like they wasted the past two hours.

"It’s not too bad, my Hunting Bow is still here, and your crossbow is too. Plus, you wisely kept your backpack with you yesterday, so the dagger is also here," Xu Yi said, mentioning that his Hunting Bow, backpack, sling bag, machete, and dagger were all with him when he returned.

If these things were lost, it would have hurt Xu Yi more than losing the camp.

With these essential tools, they could remake what they lost.

"If I hadn’t gotten sick, we might have moved the camp to Su Yan’s and Yun Qing’s place by now, and it wouldn’t have been destroyed by the storm," Lu Ke said, feeling deeply regretful.

"Don’t say or think that. Even if you hadn’t gotten sick, we wouldn’t have moved the camp that early," Xu Yi said seriously. Even if Lu Ke hadn’t gotten sick, they wouldn’t have started moving the camp for at least another five days.

"Well, the old goes, the new comes, don’t blame yourself, be good," Xu Yi said, rubbing Lu Ke’s head and smiling. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Facing difficulties isn’t scary; what’s scary is the unwillingness to face and solve them.

"When choosing the camp initially, it was my negligence not considering the typhoon factor. So, Su Yan’s place may not be suitable," Xu Yi thought they should consider wind sheltering from now on, regardless of whether there would be another typhoon.

Having made a mistake once, they shouldn’t make it again.

"So, if it turns out to be unsuitable, what should we do?" Lu Ke thought if considering wind shelter, maybe that cave wasn’t appropriate.

After all, it faced the sea direction, and if they stayed in the cave, the airflow could carry them out, and they’d be like the fox Xu Yi saw, blown into the air, eventually landing who knows where.
