Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 327: Randomly Matched Teammates

Finally, 46 people remained.

The rest of the eliminated participants all exited the hall.

Then, those who remained immediately received a message that their Star Chart’s Storage Space was activated.

"You have 25 minutes to choose your supplies, so make the most of it. Try to carry as much as you can. Your life is in your own hands, so we won’t give you any advice," a soldier said, pointing towards the countdown on the big screen.

After exchanging a glance, Su Yan and Qin Yue immediately ran towards the firearms section.

"One gun is enough, use the remaining space for bullets. Additionally, we need a Crossbow and 30 arrows," Qin Yue told Su Yan, handing her an automatic rifle and showing her the type of bullets.

So, Su Yan stored the gun in her Star Chart and kept loading bullets continuously.

After a while, Qin Yue brought some items over.

"This small backpack contains a three-day supply of rations and water, you must take it. If space is tight, take out some bullets," Qin Yue explained, then handed Su Yan the Crossbow and 30 Crossbow Arrows.

There weren’t many people doing what Qin Yue did.

Few chose firearms because most didn’t actually know how to use them, so the rest took Crossbows. They had survived and had watched the broadcasts long enough to know the importance of Crossbows.

They also brought some food and water. After all, apart from the organizers, no one knew where they were returning to.

"Time’s up, all eliminated participants, please pass through the Star Gate," a booming voice announced.

"Organizer, I want to team up with Su Yan, is that possible?" Qin Yue shouted, sensing that the one making announcements wasn’t robotic, which implied communication was possible.

"Agreed."

Those two simple words brought a slight smile to Qin Yue’s face.

Then they passed through the Star Gate.

Beyond it was a massive hall.

The hall was bustling with people.

That’s because Xu Yi and those who completed the hundred-day challenge were there too.

"Xu Yi, Xu Yi, Xu Yi!!!" Su Yan shouted loudly because she had returned to find Xu Yi and Lu Ke.

Someone in the crowd raised their hand.

"Yen Jie, over here." Xu Yi had already recognized Su Yan’s voice, excitedly raising his hand and jumping.

He saw where Su Yan was.

Su Yan immediately pulled Qin Yue and ran towards Xu Yi.

"Yen Jie, weren’t you eliminated? How are you back again?" Xu Yi looked at Su Yan in surprise, never expecting to see her on this planet again.

"Eliminated participants have one chance to return," Su Yan explained with a smile, seeing the envy in everyone’s eyes.

"That’s great, so if we’re eliminated, we can just wait for the next hundred days to come back, right? That’s awesome!" a nearby survivor shouted loudly.

"Yes, but we don’t have a chance to give up. Faced with life-and-death situations, you either fight desperately or die. So, it’s all about your choice," Qin Yue loudly responded.

"Quiet."

A cold voice echoed from all directions.

Everyone’s gaze was drawn to a ’person’ floating in mid-air in the distance.

That person was wearing white Mecha, completely encased within.

This Mecha stood over three meters tall, appearing quite humble, giving off a Transformer vibe.

"All eliminated participants have one chance to return, but after returning, you lose the option to give up. You either successfully complete 500 days of challenges or die."

"Now, if anyone agrees to team up with the returning participants, please raise your hand. Upon agreement, you will be deducted 200 points. However, there is still a chance of not being matched with the returning participants."

Xu Yi was the first to raise his hand, partly because of Su Yan, and because now that these returning participants were back on their planet, they must have better supplies in their Star Chart Space, right?

To be honest, he coveted their supplies.

The organizers were too stingy; 200 points wouldn’t get you any useful weapons.

"We have guns, we have Crossbows."

"Grenades, I’ve got grenades too. You can choose us."

"I also have plenty of bullets, and guns."

The eliminated participants shouted out; if no one raised their hand, didn’t it mean they could only team up with the eliminated ones?

Hearing the eliminated participants’ offers, plenty of teams raised their hands immediately.

Guns?

Grenades?

No more hesitating, for 200 points, you could only exchange for two grenades, while these returning participants had half a cubic space. They couldn’t have just two grenades, right?

It’s worth a shot, turn a bike into a motorcycle!

So, most teams with over 600 points raised their hands.

"Alright, now starting to match teammates."

Xu Yi exchanged glances with Lu Yao, then with Qin Fan.

As they suspected, teammates were not determined by themselves but selected randomly.

"Let me be in a group with Lu Ke, let me be in a group with Lu Ke!" Wang Jin grabbed Lu Ke’s hand and whispered a prayer.

She really didn’t want to team up with anyone else.

"You have been matched with group 313 and group 008," a voice echoed in Xu Yi’s mind.

He didn’t get matched with Qin Fan or Qin Chao, nor with Lu Yao or Wang Jin.

Apparently, this time the system didn’t cheat.

Group 313 consisted of Zhou Chun and Zhou Mo, a father and son duo. Xu Yi didn’t expect that he and Lu Ke would still end up teaming with them.

Group 008 consisted of a returning eliminated participants’ group, with members Cheng Jie and Liu Li. By the names, both members were women.

"Organizer, are the collaborations between three groups fixed? If they die, can we recruit other members?" a voice interjected.

Everyone looked over, with the same thought running through their minds: What does this mean? You haven’t even started, and you’re already hoping your teammates die?

With such thoughts, how can anyone feel safe?

If the person next to you dislikes you and kills you to find another partner, then what?

"For the next 100 days, it’s fixed. Regardless of how many teammates die, even if you’re the only one left, you can’t add new members. Now, you have 30 minutes of rest time, after which you will be transported to a new challenge point. Cherish the last 30 minutes and hope to see you here after a hundred days."

After finishing, the speaker disappeared.

"Su Yan Jie, which group are you matched with?" Xu Yi immediately asked, eager to know whom Su Yan would collaborate with.

"We matched with me and Ah Xiao, along with Lu Yao and her group," Qin Fan replied.

Xu Yi: ...damn...
