"What do we do now?" Wang Jin asked a bit nervously, holding a torch.
She was quite strong in games, but in the real world, she'd never lived in the wilderness.
"Let's just wait here. A pack of wolves is not something we can handle." As she spoke, Lu Yao touched the military machete at her waist.
They had chosen differently for their group; Lu Yao didn't take the short crossbow but instead chose a steel pot, military machete, military slingshot, two sets of clothes, and a hammock.
Both of their figures were impressive, so their live-stream channel was always ranked second.
After all, Wanzi had tens of millions of fans, and this time when she appeared on live-stream challenging wild survival, the fans went wild.
"Give me the hammock, I'll go up the tree to tie it." Lu Yao said, planning to sleep first and hunt tomorrow.
She had undergone related training and even special training before coming, and had been injected with a body-strengthening agent.
Her goal was to survive for 500 days and ultimately gain absolute control of the Star Gate.
You could say she came with a mission.
There were many people like her; she was just one of the lucky ones.
"Here." Wang Jin handed the hammock draped over her body to Lu Yao. She was already dizzy with hunger and had long wanted a good sleep.
"Two meters high, no problem, right?" For safety, Lu Yao needed to fix the hammock a bit higher, worrying her delicate cousin wouldn't manage it.
"Of course not, I often go rock climbing," Wang Jin replied defiantly.
"That's good." Lu Yao then skillfully climbed the tree and secured the hammock.
This specially designed hammock used ropes that were very dense and also very sturdy, capable of withstanding two tons of force.
And it could also be used as a fishing net; its functions were quite varied.
The first thing Lu Yao chose was this.
And her military knife had a sharp sawback, with an unusually sharp blade.
Combined with the slingshot, whether in close combat or long-range attacks, her prowess would be strong.
After securing it, Lu Yao took the torch and squatted down.
Patting her shoulder, she said to the petite Wang Jin, "Come on up, you rest first, I'll go gather some firewood."
"Alright, without me dragging you down, you will find it more convenient." Wang Jin knew her cousin was very capable, and she was merely burdening her.
Initially signing up, she had been compelled. She was someone who loved staying home; usually, she went out only for rock climbing to relieve stress, and besides that, she hardly left the house.
If her house allowed rock climbing, she could definitely not leave home for a year.
The wilderness?
She just liked watching the shows Sun Bei recorded. After all, doing live streams at home meant working for just 6 hours a day, and she spent the rest of her time watching videos or working out.
That's why she knew Lu Yao had a mission, but she had no idea what it was specifically. Wang Jin only knew that this time in the survival challenge, she just needed to follow Lu Yao's lead completely.
Other than that, she didn't have to worry.
But since she came, she didn't want to lose. Just like when she played games, she was competitive, willing to tirelessly practice to win, using her efforts to make up for her shortcomings.
Once Wang Jin climbed onto Lu Yao's shoulders, Lu Yao stood up, allowing Wang Jin to reach the hammock and climb in.
Afterward, Lu Yao, holding a torch in one hand and a machete in the other, prepared to gather some firewood.
They definitely needed to keep the fire going; otherwise, they'd freeze in the second half of the night.
They had already experienced this; last night, the two of them had huddled together in a gap between rocks just to survive the night.
After walking some distance, she smelled a scent of blood.
Smelling blood in the wilderness was no good sign.
It meant a battle had just occurred here and could also attract other carnivores.
She was already very close and decided to take a look.
If she was lucky, they could have a full meal tonight.
Carrying the torch, she moved quickly.
Nothing had jumped out at her on the way, and then she saw a half-eaten body.
Lu Yao's eyes flashed, and she immediately approached, chopping off the untouched hind leg.
"This should be a sheep; this leg is about ten pounds." She cheerfully said, then quickly returned.
The hunting wolves could return at any time, so they had to leave swiftly.
As for leaving her scent behind, she no longer cared.
As long as they burned a large fire, there was no need for fear.
Fire was a weapon against all animals. No animal could withstand the attack of flames.
"Wanzi, come down, we have meat to eat, we must quickly gather some firewood back." Lu Yao told Wang Jin, then tossed the sheep leg on the ground where they placed the pot and dashed off again.
Upon returning, she saw a piece of deadwood she could carry back.
After she rushed out, Wang Jin excitedly came down from the hammock.
Then she carefully moved towards the direction of light.
"Here, carry this piece of fallen wood back, it's enough to burn through the night." Lu Yao gestured to Wang Jin as she came forward to help carry.
She had to conserve her strength. If wild animals attacked, she'd need it for a proper counterattack.
Otherwise, if they relied on Wang Jin for a counterattack, they'd both be forced to withdraw.
It took them seven or eight minutes to return under the hammock. Afterward, Lu Yao chopped up some firewood.
Once the fire was lit, Wang Jin finally saw the sheep leg and almost drooled.
They hadn't eaten a grain of rice and had nearly reached their breaking point due to hunger.
When the fire was lit, Lu Yao's tense nerves relaxed a bit.
She cut a not-too-thick shrub, then made a hole in the sheep leg and skewered the shrub through it, placing it over the fire to roast.
"Don't we need to peel off the skin?" Wang Jin asked, puzzled.
"No need, we just won't eat the skin later." Lu Yao rarely showed a smile.
With her smile, many guys in the live-stream felt like they were in love.
"The special forces girl looks so good when she smiles."
"Mom, I'm in love. I want to marry her."
"Stop dreaming; if you can't take a hit, don't think about hitting on her."
"An idol, she's my idol now. That's the kind of girl who's truly cool."
"All the beautiful ones have been taken. I'm going to join the army to be near her."
The live-stream was bustling, and everyone was happy for them to eat roast lamb.
Lu Yao and Wang Jin both worked very hard, especially Wang Jin. She looked so delicate yet never complained about being tired.
Several times, she bit her lip, following close behind Lu Yao, making her male fans heartache.
Today, most teams started eating.
Of course, there were still many teams without much to eat, and it seemed there were quite a few.
So all the viewers were wondering if any team would be eliminated tonight.
