Chapter 215: Natural Disaster Survival System (44)

Xie Yang also failed to open a tent from the Blind Box Treasure Chest.

But when she persisted in checking in on the Sub-system for one hundred days, she obtained a Luxury Single Tent from the Material Box that popped out.

At the time on the Cruise Ship, it wasn't needed, but it came in very handy after going ashore.

It wasn't that other players didn't notice her tent was different from everyone else's, but they all assumed it was because her Luck Value was relatively high, never imagining she had another system diligently sending her supplies.

For seven consecutive days, everyone traveled during the day and found a place at night to rest by a fire after dealing with mutated animals and plants.

After setting up camp this day, it was Xie Yang and Feng Hongmei's turn to keep watch.

"Yang Yang, I boiled a pot of Brown Sugar water, do you want some? It's good for warming the body."

Feng Hongmei had been on her period for the past two days, so she would boil a pot of Brown Sugar water every day to improve circulation and warm her womb.

The Brown Sugar was something she had boiled herself.

The third season was relatively leisurely, and since there were more vegetables and fruits than they could eat, she traded a batch of sugarcane on the World Channel and boiled it into Brown Sugar during her spare time.

She had given some to Xie Yang before as well.

However, Xie Yang was not short on Brown Sugar; a very large bag of Brown Sugar had been opened from a Material Box dropped by the Sub-system, so even if she drank it every day, she might not finish it by the time the game ended.

But since Feng Hongmei insisted on giving it to her, she didn't refuse, and privately and quietly returned a pack of sanitary pads.

The two sat by the campfire, sipping the piping hot Brown Sugar water, and tacitly remained silent for fear of disturbing the others' rest.

"Awoo—"

At this moment, a clear wolf howl came from due north of the campsite.

Feng Hongmei was so startled that her hand shook, and the Brown Sugar water in her cup nearly spilled out.

"Don't panic, go notify the others."

Xie Yang tilted her head back to finish the Brown Sugar water and stood up unhurriedly.

When she rose, a top-quality Shark Tooth Dagger and an Octopus Tentacle Whip had already appeared in her hands.

Feng Hongmei went from tent to tent to wake the other players.

Fu Zhangzheng didn't need her to call him; he was already up, quickly stowed his tent into his Backpack Slot, and then, gripping his weapon with the sleepy-eyed golden monkey perched on his shoulder, he met up with Xie Yang.

The ones sneaking up on them tonight were a pack of mutated wolves.

This was the largest wave of mutated animals they had encountered in seven days.

What they had encountered before were either mutated rats, mutated snakes, or small mutated animals like ants and crawling insects.

Mutated wolves were a first.

Xie Yang and Fu Zhangzheng stood back-to-back, entrusting their backs to each other while simultaneously guarding the other's back, and began to fight the mutated wolves that had pressed in close.

Xie Yang swung with force, taking out a wolf with one lash of the whip.

If there was a slight mistake and she didn't finish one off with a lash, she would follow up with a strike of her blade.

It must be said that the top-quality Shark Tooth Dagger, which was a few inches longer than the Wolf Tooth Dagger, was simply the best cold weapon for close-quarters combat.

Without needing to get too close, the sharp blade sliced through the necks of the mutated wolves.

The golden monkey, which had been too scared to make a sound, was no longer afraid; it stepped on the tail of a fallen mutated wolf and bared its teeth, jumping up and down: "Let you disturb this young master's sleep! Let you disturb this young master's sleep!"

Fu Zhangzheng guarded Xie Yang's back, facing the mutated wolves rushing toward them, and likewise dispatched one with a clean and swift strike of his blade.

The two cooperated tacitly, and within minutes, they had dealt with the first few mutated wolves that had charged up.

They harvested a pile of Wolf Skin, Wolf Meat, and Wolf Tooth Dagger.

By this time, the other players had also arrived; some held guns, some brandished whips, some gripped large Machetes... they joined this life-and-death battle with solemn expressions.

It wasn't until the sky began to brighten that this desperate struggle ended.

Everyone was panting with exhaustion and, not caring that the ground was dirty, sat down directly on the spot.

As far as the eye could see, the corpses of mutated wolves lay scattered all over the ground.

"Ah! Chen, you're hurt!"

Ming Hao discovered a tear in Chen Shuoyun's shoulder, carefully pulled aside the clothing shredded by wolf claws, and revealed a bloody, mangled wound.

Xie Yang took out a First Aid Kit and told him to treat it quickly.

"Let me disinfect and bandage Xiaochen." Feng Hongmei stepped forward to help.

Her parents were both surgeons, so she had been influenced by them since childhood, and her family often kept first-aid supplies on hand; she could handle simple injuries.

"I have an Antidote Pill here." Zhuang Fuda took out a box of emergency medicine that had also been opened from a Treasure Chest, "Xiaochen, take out a cup of water and eat two pills to avoid getting a fever."

"Is anyone else hurt?" Fu Zhangzheng took a headcount, "If you're hurt, bandage it quickly, don't drag it out."

Fortunately, having experienced the small skirmishes of the previous few nights, everyone was more or less mentally prepared.

They didn't take off their clothes when sleeping, and as soon as there was movement, they would quickly get up, pack their tents, grab their weapons, and throw themselves into the battle at the fastest speed.

Therefore, except for Chen Shuoyun, the others had at most scraped their skin, and their injuries were not serious.

Because Chen Shuoyun was injured, Xie Yang and Fu Zhangzheng discussed it and decided to rest here for two days.

It just so happened that everyone was tired of eating dry rations and bread every day; since they were going to rest, they might as well gather together to eat a hearty hot meal.

After everyone picked up their respective loot with one click, they took out a portion of mutated wolf meat as the food cost for this gathering.

Xie Yang didn't contribute wolf meat; she contributed a bag of flour and a few large wild boar bones.

They minced the mutated wolf meat to make dumplings, hung a pot of bone broth, and added a few greens to serve as the soup base for the dumplings.

The enticing aroma wafted out, attracting quite a few uninvited guests who were poking their heads around.

Consequently, everyone spontaneously divided into two teams: those who knew how to wrap dumplings were responsible for cooking, and those who didn't were responsible for dealing with the mutated animals that delivered themselves to their door.

【Obtained Mutated Rabbit Skin *5】

【Obtained Mutated Rabbit Meat *50】

【Obtained Mutated Bamboo Rat Skin *10】

【Obtained Mutated Bamboo Rat Meat *100】

【...】

Three days later, the wound on Chen Shuoyun's shoulder from the Mutation Wolf had begun to scab over; everyone packed up their tents, took the "ingredients" they had lured and trapped with gourmet food over the past few days, and continued their journey.

Fu Zhangzheng still led the way and Xie Yang brought up the rear, with the remaining players interspersed in the middle according to their combat strength.

As they walked, Fu Zhangzheng suddenly stopped and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

A moment later, a rustling sound came from the woods diagonally ahead.

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and grip the weapons in their hands tightly.

Until—

"God! What kind of hellish place have we stumbled into! Why are there so many mutated plants!"

"Ah! Kashali, save me!"

"Oh my god! What is this thing! It's too terrifying!"

"God! They keep chasing me, I can't run anymore! Hans! Hans! Wait for me!"

"Quiet! Unless you want us to be surrounded by these mutated plants!"

【...】

Hearing this conversation, Xie Yang and the others looked at each other; so it wasn't just them who had landed on this continent? There were other players who had arrived here before them?

Of course, it could not be ruled out that the other party had come ashore from the coastline on the other side of the continent.

【They should be from the same country, why aren't they using the Regional Channel to communicate?】

Ming Hao couldn't help but complain on the Regional Channel:

【The way they're shouting, it's making us very passive too; the mutated vines have all been awakened.】

Fu Zhangzheng turned his head in time: 【Follow me closely! We're changing direction.】
