Main Character:

Shen Yao

"This weather, is it going to rain?"

Shen Yao looked up at the sky, her tone uncertain, but by normal logic, wilderness survival would likely encounter extraordinary natural disasters.

Similar to rain, snow, floods... and wild beasts hiding in distant forests, these were all high-probability assessment tasks for wilderness survival.

Xu Ningchen pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, his tone somewhat hesitant, "Perhaps we need to find a place to stay first."

Living here for half a month, there must be a shelter that can block wind and rain.

There are trees in the forest, but they have no tools to build with, and newly felled trees need to be dried, otherwise living inside wouldn't be very convenient.

"We still need to find a natural cave," like those cave entrances formed in the mountains and forests, although there would likely be traces of wild beasts inside, but for them it was the most convenient and quickest.

"Walk forward, go look over there," Xu Ningchen casually pointed to a place, while following he didn't forget to observe the surroundings, perhaps they had just entered this wilderness, along the way they hadn't encountered much danger.

The two hurried along, finally finding a cave entrance tied to the mountainside when the sun reached its highest point.

The cave entrance wasn't big, but inside it was clean and tidy, except for some wild beast filth that might appear, there was nothing else.

Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen looked at each other, although they both didn't quite believe it in their hearts, they still pinched their noses and cleaned this place out, as their wilderness survival shelter for the next fifteen days.

"We can also check other positions," a cunning rabbit has three burrows, they couldn't place all their hopes in one place.

After Xu Ningchen finished speaking, he mentioned the bound car, that was the last resort, although in the wilderness a car as a means of transportation was useless, but if they truly reached a life-or-death moment, they could still use the car's weight to directly crush the source of danger.

After all, the weight of the car was plain for all to see, even the strongest hunter in the wilderness couldn't directly overturn a car one-on-one.

Simply sitting down to rest, Shen Yao touched her somewhat growling belly, then took out several collected fruits and stuffed them into her mouth.

These were collected along the way they had walked, edible but not tasty.

Xu Ningchen felt apologetic, he planned to go hunt some small wild beasts in the forest this afternoon, they lived here for fifteen days, food and water were both indispensable.

Shen Yao felt she could handle the river serving as the water source herself, and could act separately from Xu Ningchen.

And the system could help at this time, if there were fish in the river, they could secretly add a meal for themselves.

Taking advantage of the afternoon weather not being hot, Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen acted separately.

Xu Ningchen went to the dense forest alone to hunt, to obtain food they could eat and use, Shen Yao went to the river not far away, to fetch clear water for daily drinking.

But before going, Shen Yao simply dug two wooden buckets that could hold water.

Thanks to the sharp stones on the ground and the tools in the bound car's carriage, Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen busied themselves for a while before making two crooked finished products.

Because of this, they also had to bear the inability to restore after tool loss.

After all, the system bound the car, not the supplies inside the car, inferring from the experience and lessons of the first two newbie tasks, only the car could be used infinitely in every world, other items were consumables used up as they were used, they had to use them sparingly.

The road to the river looked safe at first glance, but actually many problems lurked in places that couldn't be seen.

Thanks to the system acting as a scanning radar, hiding in Shen Yao's mind to guide her.

"Host, there are no humans here, but natural disasters will definitely occur frequently in the future," the system said affirmatively, obviously having obtained news through its own means.

"This is the wilderness, some large wild beasts and changeable weather are factors hindering our survival," people staying in the same hotel level, there were those who hadn't passed the third newbie task for a long time, and even many relying on crooked paths.

If it weren't for the Infinite Hotel essentially being a newbie village, the internal atmosphere definitely wouldn't be as relaxed as now.

Splash splash—

Throwing the wooden bucket in hand into the water, then using clear water to fill it up.

Shen Yao shook her wrist, signaling the system to take this opportunity to probe the fish swimming in the river, she didn't seek great wealth and nobility, only to have a mouthful of fish meat to eat, so her meals wouldn't be as hard to endure as at noon.

System:...

The system activated its ability, and soon locked onto a school of fish in the river.

It definitely didn't have the ability to take objects from the air, but the host had a space, inside were many tools that could be borrowed, besides Xu Ningchen wasn't around, he wouldn't discover the trickery here at all, it was just letting Shen Yao play freely.

The fishing net poured down, instantly wiping out those swimming fish.

Shen Yao still left one side open, only leaving a few relatively large fish, releasing all the others right there, after all in this weather accumulating too much food would either spoil or bring disaster, it was steadier to take things one step at a time.

The two wooden buckets were filled with clear water and fish, Shen Yao simply took advantage of the river's convenience to gut and clean all the fish, then returned to the cave, using the dry branches scattered around the cave to start a fire, warming herself while grilling fish.

The dry branches crackled as they burned, and the skin of the grilled fish on top turned scorched yellow.

The aroma of the fish meat slowly spread, even though there was a basin of rather fishy dead fish nearby, Shen Yao still licked the corner of her mouth, revealing a look of wanting to eat this grilled fish.

Xu Ningchen hadn't returned, Shen Yao wasn't worried, because the system was responsible for watching him.

"Caught a few rabbits and wild chickens, no medium or large wild beasts, but this meat and fish is enough for you to fill your bellies these few days."

The system was just restless, now that it had entered the instance it could only run around having fun in this little plot of land, with infinite energy having no outlet, it could only find some fun for itself to slowly relieve.

By the time Shen Yao finished handling the grilled fish in her hand, Xu Ningchen returned carrying the prey.

Of course, eating only meat wasn't enough, Xu Ningchen wrapped some wild fruits and wild vegetables in his outer robe, not expecting them to taste very good, but seeking to supplement normal nutrition and not let the body have problems.

Their bodies were one hundred percent original, with no traces of digitization, as for whether entering the Infinite World would turn them into something like health points or fullness levels, they currently didn't know.

Tap—

Throwing the hunted game to one side, Xu Ningchen glanced at the water source not far away, then took tools to process these game.

New wooden buckets were made to hold things, and other miscellaneous items, the originally not large cave entrance was instantly blocked making it hard to enter.

"Fill your belly first, then talk about other things," handing a portion of grilled fish to Xu Ningchen, Shen Yao buried her head and ate the scorched yellow, crispy fish meat into her belly.

Xu Ningchen finished eating the grilled fish, saying they still needed to fetch water and collect wild vegetables and wild fruits, and even dry branches needed to be put more in the cave.

Looking up and pointing at the sky, "The temperature is low," the weather changed.

Who knows tomorrow morning they might not see the sun but instead welcome a rain.

They were surviving in the wilderness, they must consider all kinds of unexpected situations.

The central spot on this mountain top is good, and the altitude is high enough that they don't have to worry about rain flooding right up to their feet, but what about other food and daily supplies? Counting on the stock in the carriage behind won't do.

Shen Yao touched her chin; still the same old saying—separate actions.

That way they could improve efficiency and prepare more; otherwise, if they always huddled together, having more people would bring no benefit at all.

Xu Ningchen pointed out that the mountain forest not far away was more dangerous, but if they were only gathering wild vegetables, wild fruit, and dry branches, they just needed to circle nearby without going inside, and the danger would be greatly reduced.

Shen Yao also pointed out that going to the riverside wasn't very dangerous, but they couldn't stray too far off.

Shen Yao pointed out all similarly problematic places; as long as Xu Ningchen didn't run over there himself to court death, there would be no problem at all.

"System, check what dangers are around." They definitely had to stay in the cave these few days; barring accidents, the cave would become territory contested by some wild beasts.

Shen Yao didn't expect the system to search the entire instance space; she only asked it to give advance warning if it detected any sign of trouble, so she could be mentally prepared.

"Host, it's very safe nearby." After living in the wilderness for half a month, danger couldn't possibly appear on the very first night.

The system carefully checked the environment around the host and found no traces of large wild beasts, but if there were no large wild beasts here, that was impossible; the time just hadn't come yet.

Picking the wild fruit hanging from the branches and putting them into her clothes pocket, Shen Yao casually bent down and twisted off several handfuls of wild vegetables.

These things weren't very tasty, but they were an indispensable part of the body.

Busy and bustling, Shen Yao carried the clothes wrapped with wild vegetables and fruit in one hand and held the burnable dry branches in the other, returning to the cave entrance step by step.

By this time Xu Ningchen had already returned; a row of wooden buckets was placed in the corner of the cave entrance, filled with clear water and cleaned food.

The fresh meat and fish were all set up to roast over the fire, so that if they couldn't start a fire later, the two of them would only be able to eat raw food to fill their bellies.

Besides this, Xu Ningchen also planned to take advantage of the safe period of the previous few days to go up to the mountain top and have a look; who knew if they would have to flee the cave in the future.

Running into the forest was no solution at all; they might have to stay far away from there, the danger was too great.

The weather outside gradually darkened, and the firelight in the cave still existed.

The dry branches Shen Yao brought back were not used to light the bonfire but were saved for tomorrow; what they used now were thicker branches, one of which could last for a good while.

They had to take turns keeping watch and resting in the first and second halves of the night; even though Shen Yao was a pregnant woman, she couldn't dump everything on Xu Ningchen.

"Rest in the first half of the night; danger isn't great these past few days, just watch over each other in the second half."

Xu Ningchen and Shen Yao discussed it, and both planned to sleep with eyes closed in the first half of the night, then get up in the second half to pay attention to safety.

The phone was used for timing; placed here there was no signal and no Wang Luo, but it could still be used as an alarm clock, and incidentally as a notebook.

Shen Yao tidied her clothes, then lay down on the cleanly swept floor and fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes again, outside was pitch black, and in the distance the sky was faintly bright; Xu Ningchen had just finished his watch, exchanged a word with Shen Yao, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Yao could do little now; considering it would be cold when they got up in the morning, she simply lit the bonfire that had been extinguished for a long time.

When the sky outside gradually brightened, she discovered that the sun mentioned yesterday had not appeared today, and Shen Yao felt indescribably strange in her heart.

Xu Ningchen had already sat up, using the clear water brought back yesterday to clean himself, and incidentally placed the already roasted meat by the fire to simply heat it up.

Breakfast was just so simple and unadorned; their task today was still gathering and scouting.

Go to the riverside and forest to gather daily food, and climb the mountain top to scout the surrounding situation.

During the morning hours, the two acted separately, once again bringing back a small amount of edible and usable food, including dry branches piled in the corner, all supplies they would use later.

In the afternoon, the two went to the mountain top together; walking without holding back, they reached the summit earlier than expected and saw the surrounding scenery.

Shen Yao sucked in a breath of cold air, pointing her finger at the deep blue beyond a stretch of green: "It seems we still need to plan as soon as possible." Around them, only this mountain top beneath their feet was high enough in altitude, but compared to the surging river in the distance, it still couldn't block the incoming waves.

"There's a bamboo forest over there; let's make a bamboo raft," in case of need.

Xu Ningchen raised his hand and pinched his somewhat aching head; he hadn't expected that beyond the forest was not a plain, but a lake.

The lake, on ordinary days, he would still have the mood to appreciate it, but now placed in the wilderness, he worried he would be drowned by the water.

Shen Yao felt that making a bamboo raft was of some use, but once the incoming flood was too great, what use could a simple bamboo raft be?

However, sitting and waiting for death was not their character; besides, apart from the mountain top beneath their feet being the highest, everything else was flat land that could be submerged by water.

Tsk tsk tsk

Get ready.

Going up the mountain was exhausting, but coming down was much easier.

Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen did not return directly to the cave, but ran to the distant bamboo forest, using the bound car to crash and knock down the bamboo, saving the time spent chopping bamboo.

Although this damaged the front of the car, by the next world it could be restored to its original state, so using it was not too much of a burden.

Using rattan strips to pull the bamboo back to the cave, the two helped each other, clearing the branches on the bamboo while preparing the work in advance.

One by one, round bamboo stalks as thick as a wrist were cut and placed at the cave entrance.

Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen squeezed out some time to make the bamboo raft.

When it was the third evening since entering the wilderness instance, light rain began to fall from the sky.

The rain wasn't heavy, but they only had this one set of clothes to wear; going out and getting wet could easily lead to catching a cold and falling ill, so they could only hide in the cave, make a fire, and busy themselves with the bamboo raft.

Fortunately, the bamboo brought back these past two days was enough; even because there was quite a lot of bamboo, they were not lacking in containers at all.

When the rain grew heavier and the time came to the sixth evening, a simple, sturdy bamboo raft that could accommodate the two of them with plenty to spare was thus born.

Besides this, they also welcomed the first wave of wild beast attacks in the early morning of the seventh day, and incidentally relied on the car that appeared out of thin air to drive them off.
