The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 923 - 899: The Formation of a Group

Wu Yang stared at Jiang Xiaoxiao dumbfoundedly.

"Are you crazy? Making a fire? At this time? Camping?"

This woman’s head is screwed up.

What can making a fire do?

They have nothing to eat, no water, and this weather is hot enough to kill someone. Making a fire for warmth?

Or roasting everyone into jerky.

"If you want to rest well tonight, better hurry up and help me make a fire. With the fire, mosquitoes will be fewer, at least we can sleep a bit more comfortably."

Jiang Xiaoxiao stood up and took out her flashlight.

Wu Yang was stunned.

"How do you even have a flashlight? My god, your bag is like a treasure trove."

Looking at her bag, then at his own, he really felt a bit ashamed. In his bag...

Besides his favorite clothes, there was his beloved game console and his nunchuks, things he liked, but nothing to eat, nothing to drink.

He probably hadn’t even thought of something like a flashlight.

Who needs a flashlight when going to school?

He’s studied abroad, which school needs students to prepare these things?

If he had known that these things would be useful one day, he wouldn’t have packed these useless items even if it killed him.

"Enough talk, go collect some dry branches from around here so we can start a fire. This will repel mosquitoes and we can roast food from our bags to heat it up. We can also find some raw water nearby to boil, so we have some spare water.

Even if everyone has water to drink tonight, can you guarantee we’ll reach school tomorrow? Won’t we need to drink water on the way? Making a fire is very helpful for our walk to school in the future."

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s words immediately made the surrounding students agree somewhat, everyone knew they certainly couldn’t make it to school tomorrow. Originally, they thought making a fire was useless, having light or not didn’t matter, but now listening to these words, everyone felt a bit impressed by her wisdom.

Making a fire indeed repels mosquitoes, so everyone can rest a bit better at night. Boiling some hot water and cooling it, cooled boiled water is better than raw water, and they barely have any spare water.

Today they barely managed, basically drying up by this point. Not drinking water at night, even if they endure through the night, they can’t go without during the day tomorrow. Without food, one can starve to death in three days to a week, but without water, likely can’t last long.

Instead of thinking about crossing this mountain, better prepare to faint due to heatstroke right here.

A few boys and girls voluntarily followed behind Jiang Xiaoxiao and Wu Yang.

Everyone working together certainly sped things up, as they were already at the mountain’s foot, the forest had plenty of dry branches.

Several people collected, each bringing back a big pile, enough for tonight.

Jiang Xiaoxiao took out a lighter, of course benefiting from her own survival experience.

Lighters were certainly standard in her space.

Someone handed over a notebook, as you need some kindling when starting a fire. Just relying on branches and lighting with a lighter would waste too much fuel, and no one knew if they would need more tomorrow.

Everyone thought since they already prepared mentally for not reaching school tomorrow, likely won’t for the next two or three days.

In that case, the lighter would be used in many places in the future, must conserve it.

Around seven or eight students came to help, quickly forming a small group centered around Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Soon the fire was burning brightly, classmates sat around the campfire.

Very surprisingly, those mosquitoes indeed no longer buzzed around them, smoked away by the fire, they seemed to have vanished somewhere.

"When we walked over, I saw a small stream nearby, just don’t have tools to boil water."

With Jiang Xiaoxiao paving the way, immediately others started sharing their ideas.

"I have, I have. I have a washbasin."

A chubby girl quickly opened her suitcase and took out a porcelain enamel washbasin.

She embarrassedly said, "My mom insisted I bring it, I didn’t want it, but didn’t want to hurt my mom’s feelings, so I stuffed it in."

Who brings a washbasin to a dormitory? She planned to buy one there like other classmates.

But her mom insisted on nagging, giving her a heap of things, suddenly she felt grateful for her mom.

With this washbasin, at least they could boil water, and the basin was new.

"Boys go fetch water, someone else find some stones, we need to make a stove over the fire, otherwise, relying on the fire alone can’t boil water."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was experienced with survival, immediately instructing others to work, no choice, having faced everything at the farming commune.

Soon, using variously sized stones, they built a simple stove and moved part of the fire under it.

Above, boys brought back clear creek water using the washbasin.

Placed on the stove, soon the water was boiling.

The basin was set aside to cool, then everyone filled their own water bottles with the cooled boiled water, many drank a sip.

The comfort in their hearts, though the water wasn’t as sweet as imagined.

But it was hard-earned cooled boiled water, very rare, though after drinking it, every stomach started rumbling.

Many hadn’t brought food, having gone two days and nights without, the hunger was tough.

Yet they knew, can’t expect food.

In the wild finding water was possible, with a stream, but now all was dark, even wanting to dig wild vegetables, someone had to know how.

Pharmacists who passed through the Medicine God Association must have some familial talents, at home they were spoiled, prodigy children.

Making them dig wild vegetables had to be recognized.

Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed, now was indeed not suitable.

Her space had rice, flour, even buns, vegetables, fruits.

But now wasn’t the chance to take it out, openly taking these out meant revealing she had issues.

Bai Xiao’s backpack snacks had been consumed on the way.

The girl thought she’d reach school tonight, snacking non-stop, now she had nothing.

After drinking a belly of cooled boiled water, they lay by the campfire and slept in clothes.

Jiang Xiaoxiao leaned against a big rock, though not sleeping deeply, her spirit stayed alert.

Mainly concerned about nighttime beast appearances.

This unfamiliar environment she’d heard the old lady mention.

The closer to Kunlun Mountain Range, fiercer the beasts.

She increasingly suspected those fierce beasts of the Kunlun mountains might be their so-called Red Flame Battlefield?

This seemed like a cyclic world, like linked rings.

But the secrets were well-hidden.
