Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Empty-Handed

“Everyone can rest assured, the governments of all countries are taking this seriously. After all, this concerns the safety of all humanity, so all the teams will be very cautious.”

“As you’ve seen, the challengers who exited early are all in good health and are getting along harmoniously in their new small communities.”

“Previously, because of the need for security, we didn’t disclose the situation of the camp. But from now on, there will be live streaming of the camp. If you’re interested, you can watch the live stream to learn everything about the camp.”

The sudden announcement took audiences all over the world by surprise.

After all, there had never been any official admission that the wilderness was on another planet.

Now, Dr. Glasses had actually revealed the camp’s situation to the public.

As a result, a large number of viewers flooded into the camp’s live stream room.

Obviously, the officials were well-prepared, with a total of fifty live stream rooms.

There were five just for medical care. However, at the moment, only one room had people, while the others had only equipment.

The rest showed scenes from within the community, offering views from various angles and distances.

The community was quite well-equipped, with unmanned supermarkets, libraries, gyms, various sports courts, and other activity centers.

It was clear that those who had exited the challenge were living quite well here, each looking quite relaxed.

Seeing that the people in the community were living well, everyone’s worries gradually dissipated, and they turned their attention back to the challengers’ live streams.

In live stream room 77, Lu Ke had already cleaned out all the charcoal from the mud kiln.

“Xu Yi, we shouldn’t give up voluntarily, right?” Lu Ke glanced at Chu Yi, who was still making bows and arrows. Just now, Star Chart had already notified them that Team 112 had given up and voluntarily exited the challenge.

“Unless we encounter an unmanageable situation, I won’t give up. After all, I don’t want to die here.” Xu Yi said seriously, as life was more important to him than the one-billion reward.

Being alive is the way to become stronger, once dead, everything is over.

“Me too, I won’t give up easily. If I’m ever feeling down, you must encourage me. Girls have those days, you know.” Lu Ke said, blushing slightly.

“Understood. I heard that not only women have them, but men do too.” Xu Yi looked up at Lu Ke, then continued with his work.

“Really? I’ve never heard of that.” Lu Ke looked at Xu Yi in surprise, knowing he wasn’t one to speak without basis.

If he said so, he must have heard it from somewhere.

“I can’t remember where I saw it, but it might be nonsense. A lot of self-media make stuff up just for clicks.” Xu Yi commented.

The two chatted idly while busy with their tasks.

Time flew by, and soon it was past 11 o’clock.

Lu Ke took a shower and then sat by the fire to dry her hair.

Her hair was fairly short, so it dried quickly. After drying her hair, Lu Ke went to sleep.

There were no sleeping bags available tonight, but she still dismantled the outer layer of a sleeping bag and laid it on the soft grass.

Despite having clothes, she still felt a bit chilly.

In such conditions, she wondered how Xu Yi would sleep without any clothes.

“Looks like tomorrow I’ll need to make some clothes and pants, otherwise Xu Yi will have nothing to wear.” Lu Ke mumbled to herself, then found a comfortable sleeping position.

The soft grass was layered thickly, making it quite comfortable to sleep on.

After a while, Xu Yi also came inside.

However, he wasn’t coming in to sleep; he brought some charcoal back inside.

After all, the nighttime temperatures were low, and without a sleeping bag, the temperature inside would also be low. It was necessary to raise the indoor temperature.

After setting up enough charcoal, Xu Yi lay down to sleep.

As soon as Xu Yi lay down, the girl rolled over and leaned toward him.

Xu Yi didn’t dare move, closed his eyes, and gradually fell into sleep.

A good night’s sleep brought them quickly to the next day.

All the teams successfully reached the 12th day in the new world.

When Lu Ke opened her eyes, Xu Yi’s face was right there.

However, she didn’t panic, just quietly withdrew her hands and feet, then sat up.

She glanced at the deeply sleeping Xu Yi, pursed her lips, and got up to go outside.

Upon exiting, she first checked the yard.

The fire had gone out during the night.

Grabbing the fire-starting tools and some soft grass, Lu Ke began to relight the fire.

After busying herself for over ten minutes, flames finally appeared.

With a satisfied smile, Lu Ke began to boil water to cook breakfast.

After a few more minutes, Xu Yi woke up.

“Are we going hunting today?” Lu Ke asked Xu Yi as she served breakfast into bowls.

She was a bit eager to see if Xu Yi would have any success today and what prey he might catch.

Hopefully, it wouldn’t be another snake?

“Yeah, I plan to, and also search around to see if there are any vegetables.” Xu Yi plucked a mint leaf, chewed it, and began brushing his teeth.

After brushing, his mouth was filled with a fresh minty flavor.

After breakfast, Xu Yi set out with his bow and machete.

Lu Ke watched as Xu Yi disappeared into the forest, then shut the gate behind him.

“Hope Xu Yi finds something!”

When she said this, she had a prayerful look.

Then, she picked up the engineer shovel and started leveling the ground.

She needed to lay the fabric on the ground, draw out the clothing pattern with charcoal, and then cut it out.

This was her main task for the morning, and as long as the pieces were cut out, sewing them wouldn’t be a problem.

If all went well, she could finish making the coat today, so Xu Yi could wear it to sleep at night.

Although it was more comfortable to cuddle without clothes, she didn’t want Xu Yi to catch a cold and get sick.

There were no medicines here, let alone a doctor. You couldn’t be too cautious with illness.

After Xu Yi set out, he headed toward the Umbrella Tree Forest.

Last time, he encountered a muntjac and a goat there, so Xu Yi hoped he might see them again this time.

However, after spending half a day, he didn’t encounter any animals.

It was as if they knew he had weapons, and they all disappeared.

He had promised to return for lunch, so Xu Yi couldn’t go too far.

After searching around, Xu Yi headed back.

Despite the lack of success, Xu Yi didn’t feel disappointed.

After all, this was his first time going hunting; it’s normal not to find anything.
