Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Just Stubborn

“Sis, Xu Yi and his team are amazing, their camp is just too good,” Wang Jin said after leaving, glancing back in the direction of Xu Yi’s camp.

“It really is impressive, better than ours,” Lu Yao replied gravely. Without comparison, there would be no harm.

She hadn’t expected that she would be worse than a little guy.

Lu Ke and Wang Jin are both ordinary people with no special training. In contrast, she had not only been a special forces soldier but also participated in a month of special training before signing up.

Under such circumstances, her camp was inferior to Xu Yi’s camp. This indicated she was not as good as Xu Yi.

Thinking about it, Lu Yao’s face flushed with embarrassment.

Xu Yi doesn’t have a hint of a soldier’s aura, nor does he seem like a survival expert.

Yet, his and Lu Ke’s camp is obviously more comfortable than theirs.

The greenhouse is filled with hanging slices of meat, and their food reserves are richer than theirs.

After visiting Xu Yi’s camp, Lu Yao felt she’d been slacking recently and needed to work harder.

“Time’s moving too slowly. It’s only been 25 days. If only 100 days had passed, we could join forces with Xu Yi. With four of us, we could definitely make the camp even better,” Wang Jin thought. If they could team up with Xu Yi, surviving 500 days would become much easier.

If not for a task, she would have thought 500 days wasn’t that hard to achieve.

After all, each day was turning out better than the last.

“I don’t think he would agree,” Lu Yao looked at Wang Jin, thinking she’s a bit too naive.

If you’re looking for a partner, you naturally seek out the strong. Only by joining forces with the strong do you have a chance at the 500-day challenge.

“We still have seventy-some days to improve. If we become formidable enough, I’m sure Xu Yi would agree,” Wang Jin understood that Xu Yi wouldn’t agree so easily.

After all, with a successful challenge, there’s a reward of a billion.

A billion — stacked up, who knows how high that would be.

When it comes to such a huge reward, Xu Yi would definitely be very prudent in choosing his partners.

Lu Yao nodded, looking at Wang Jin with some satisfaction.

If Wang Jin were also a female special forces soldier, Xu Yi would certainly be willing to team up.

Back when Lu Yao and her team underwent training, the total exceeded 300,000 people.

However, they were required to go back and find ordinary people as partners, not those with a military background. Because only by partnering with ordinary people could they have a chance of being selected.

Facts proved that among the 500 selected teams, none were composed of two strong participants.

Almost all were a combination of one strong and one weak, with few exceptions.

The organizers clearly wanted ordinary people, not a group of survival experts.

Out of 300,000 people, only 3 were selected.

She didn’t know the other two groups, nor if they had been eliminated.

If they could find them for collaboration, it would naturally be ideal.

If not, Xu Yi’s group is undoubtedly an ideal partner.

“Where did the Clawed Earth Wolf run off to, did we go too far?” Wang Jin glanced at Lu Yao and muttered softly.

“No idea. For now, we can only keep searching.” If Lu Yao knew where the Clawed Earth Wolf had gone, they wouldn’t be scouring the forest.

“Let’s hope our luck improves; I really don’t want to be eliminated like this,” Wang Jin said as she tightened her grip on the spear in her hand.

“Right, sis, didn’t you want to know what wood Xu Yi’s hunting bow is made of? Why didn’t you ask?” Wang Jin, following behind Lu Yao, asked casually.

“Even if I asked, he might not tell me. Offering us grapes was no big deal, but telling us about the bow’s materials probably would be too much. So there’s no need to put him in a tough spot,” Lu Yao explained. She indeed had thought about asking.

But upon meeting Xu Yi, she had calmed down.

“Speaking of grapes, I want some more. It’s been 25 days, and we’ve finally had fruit,” Wang Jin lamented, having eaten them too quickly.

“Didn’t yesterday’s coconut count?” Lu Yao said helplessly.

“Of course not, that’s more of a drink!” Wang Jin insisted, refusing to recognize coconut as a fruit.

“Wanzi being Wanzi, going so far as to exclude coconuts from the fruit kingdom.”

“Thick-skinned indeed, Wanzi I know, a mouthy champion.”

“Why didn’t we stay at Xu Yi’s camp longer? I wonder if another Wanzi seeing Xu Yi’s bathroom would be bold enough to stick around.”

“Stick around for what, to join Xu Yi’s harem?”

“Actually, their own camp is quite nice — their fence is even more defensive than Xu Yi’s. His barely keeps any animals out.”

“Though we are Wanzi fans, let’s not lie through our teeth like that, okay?”

“It’s not the camp that’s different, it’s the quality of life. Wanzi and her cousin are still digging holes outside the camp for convenience, always on edge.”

“On edge is too much, it’s not like you actually saw it happen.”

“Fighting over a bathroom, you guys are something else.”

“Honestly, I’m really hoping Wanzi could team up with Xu Yi. With another strong team, 500 days would be a sure thing.”

“Let’s see where they head after 100 days. The first hundred days should be the easiest; it gets harder after that.”

“The direction they’re heading seems familiar, like where Xu Yi set a boar trap.”

“I think if they keep going, they might find wild grapes.”

“Too bad Wanzi missed the lychee tree, otherwise, she could’ve had fresh lychees.”

“Oh, they’ve stopped; did they find signs of the Clawed Earth Wolf?”

Lu Yao and Wang Jin indeed stopped because they heard a voice.

“Group 34 died during the task execution. Other groups that have completed the territory task can take on this task. Completing it will earn you rewards. Task acceptance is valid for an hour, brave souls are welcome to take on the challenge.”

Hearing this, Wang Jin couldn’t help but curse.

“This is nuts, two people have already died but still letting people take on the task, isn’t this just sending people to their deaths?” Wang Jin cursed while looking at her tracking ball.

Died during task execution, this was the first time they had heard such news.

Most of all, were those eliminated through abandonment.

“There might be someone accepting this task,” Lu Yao figured, some strong individuals might consider taking it on. After all, with the rewards, their team could become stronger.

The strong grow stronger, while the weak remain weak. This seems to be what the organizers want to see.
