◎Happy 123rd Day: Fail the Exam and You'll Die◎

It is actually quite easy to find an empty valley for hunting now. Just set a certain standard and you will be good at it.

short.

It was so low that when the tsunami hit, the mountain was completely submerged.

Because people like Jiang Muyun who choose to live in the suburbs when order collapses will not choose a small hill with only its head above the water.

The heavy rain had just stopped, and no one wanted to live in a place that could be flooded at any time.

If they waited until the water receded before moving into the mountains, the amount of supplies they accumulated would definitely not be as much as those like Jiang Muyun and others who actively went into the water to salvage supplies from the beginning and then stayed in one place and managed the business carefully.

Jiang Muyun and others had accumulated so much food and dug so many reservoirs in the early stages. Now they had to go to the transfer station from time to time to trade other supplies with people to replenish their water. Not to mention those who had less reserves of other supplies than them.

After such a long drought, the survivors who were not well-off basically packed up their belongings and moved into the base, and the number of survivors living outside the base has become very small.

These very few survivors are basically in a similar situation to Jiang Muyun and the others.

A few close people formed a small group and found a place to live permanently when the tsunami hit, usually in the relatively high mountains around Nanshi.

They accumulated a large amount of supplies while the flood had not yet receded and most people were injured and unable to go into the water. Then they stored water and food on their own hilltops to improve their living environment and made relatively complete repairs in all aspects, which made it possible for them to hold on until now.

Therefore, when Jiang Muyun and others ran into the small mountain, the probability of encountering indigenous people was very low.

Where there is no human activity, the possibility of animal activity is relatively greater.

However, given the current situation in Nanshi, it is difficult for them to find any large animals, and the half-dead trees on the mountain cannot support large animals.

There may be a lot of small mammals, such as mutant weasels and hares, hiding in the mountains.

The excavation of the reservoir at the transfer station was basically completed. After everyone discussed it, they decided that there was nothing to do at the transfer station at the moment. There was nothing worth remembering in their autonomous region, so they simply withdrew from the transfer station with daily necessities and other things, and prepared to participate in team-building activities.

Their plan was for eight people to go out and two to stay at home.

Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen took the initiative to be the first group to stay behind to look after the house.

If they didn't go, Dabai would be too lazy to move and would just stay in their arms every day.

Instead, Xiaobai jumped and followed everyone out, pulling the sled as if he was possessed by Xiaoguai, without any reluctance at all.

Jiang Muyun didn't know whether he should be happy that his child had grown up, or feel sorry for himself with tears in his eyes.

This time, Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen, two experienced hunters, were not with them. Even with Xiaobai leading the way, they still failed to catch any prey.

Although he didn't catch any prey, Qin Shiwu did pull up a lot of poisonous plants, saying that he wanted to renovate the traps on his mountain.

They have a mountain king like Dabai in their family. There are very few poisonous plants on the mountain that can survive for more than a week. In the past, even if Qin Shiwu wanted to study poisons, he did not have the conditions.

Now that I'm out for a walk, I've finally been caught by him.

Later, when everyone took over, Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen, relying on their rich survival experience, successfully added a few dried rabbits and a mutant animal that looked like a sand badger to their food reserves.

There were also seven or eight bald-haired squirrels, which were put into the pot on the same day they were caught.

The main reason is that Jiang Muyun and others caught them on a tree. Otherwise, based on their bald and skinny appearance, Jiang Muyun would not be able to determine whether they were mutant squirrels or ordinary mutant mice.

These mutant creatures are very aggressive and will bite anyone they see without hesitation.

These days, if you are bitten by a wild mutant animal, there is no hospital to save your life, and it is a dream to catch them alive, so their breeding industry has not added any new industrial lines.

No, there are still some.

Jiang Muyun actually raised earthworms by relying on the water from these animals.

Jiang Muyun had specially dug a bag of earthworms from Captain Yu in order to prevent her cubs from rebelling after they found out that their reward had changed from fresh earthworms to dried earthworms.

Jiang Muyun understood the thoughts of his cubs very well. When the two rebellious cubs were about to make a fuss, he decisively put a few live earthworms in a plastic box in front of them.

It seemed like those two rebellious cubs didn't pass on their cleverness when they were hatching. The little ones that hatched later were dumber than the other and could only follow behind the two big butts.

After Jiang Muyun calmed down the two leading cubs, the rest of the little ones naturally had no objections.

There's no point in having opinions.

If water resources were not so precious nowadays, they would have bled and plucked the feathers of the three adult second-generation chicks long ago.

Apart from the stir-fried mutant squirrels they had two days ago, the last time they ate fresh meat was during the Chinese New Year.

I had forgotten about it when I couldn't eat it, but now that I've suddenly had a good meal, all the gluttony in my stomach has been aroused.

Zhao Jiahao and others are now looking at the chickens on the ground, their eyes almost glowing green.

As for the two old chickens, none of them dared to think about them.

The color of their fur seemed to have the words "I am highly poisonous" written on their faces. Jiang Muyun thought that it would be better to attack the second generation cubs who looked more normal first.

If the second generation cubs were edible, they would just eat the second and third generation cubs. If the second generation cubs' meat was poisonous, then they wouldn't have to deal with the other two.

And... although the two rebellious cubs themselves look very poisonous, the eggs they provide have the lightest fishy smell.

Except for Jiang Muyun, who has a bunch of normal eggs stored in his space, most people who eat eggs eat eggs laid by these two.

All the other normal-looking eggs were sent to the transit station in exchange for supplies.

The taste is really disgusting. Dried mushrooms are a delicacy compared to them.

But not everyone can eat them. The few eggs that they occasionally send to the transit station are all best-selling products. There are even caravans from neighboring cities who try to buy up all their eggs.

It's a seller's market right now, and Jiang Muyun is not stupid. She doesn't hold an auction because she's afraid that she'll be too arrogant and be robbed. How could she allow someone to monopolize the property for a long time?

In the entire transfer station, the only places where you can always buy eggs are the water sales teams coming from the east.

It is already August, but the sky is still blue, with very few clouds, making it impossible to see any sign of the rainy season.

If the people from those water sales teams had not said that the coastline had not receded too much and that another continent or the west coast might be experiencing heavy rain, even Zhao Jiahao and others would have almost lost their composure.

Xiaobai and Dabai have been very excited these days. Whenever they see someone going out, they will go over to them. Even if they just want to go to the transfer station to exchange eggs for something else, Xiaobai and Dabai will not let them go. Even if Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen are not in the traveling group, they will follow them out.

For this reason, Xiaobai doesn't mind using himself as a full-time driver, and will even take the initiative to run down the mountain with the sled in his mouth and wait.

These two have become so chaotic that Jiang Muyun and the others cannot leave them behind if they go out hunting.

Seeing that the incentive of stockpiling food was about to wear off, Jiang Muyun found a new toy for everyone - wood.

No matter how tenacious the mutant plants are, they cannot withstand such a severe drought, especially the tall trees.

They are lucky enough to be able to preserve their roots and wait for the new spring to sprout again, so there is no extra nutrients to nourish the branches and leaves.

So now the mountains and plains outside are full of dry and bald trees.

Jiang Muyun took people to cut down trees that were dead but not completely dead.

After getting it back, we divided it into two halves. The part with a better moisture content was kept for handicrafts. When we had nothing to do, a group of people would get together to study carpentry.

The small branches with too low water content are kept as firewood, and the trunks are burned into charcoal to prepare for the winter that may come at an unknown time.

Ever since Jiang Muyun led everyone to do carpentry work, when they went to the transit station to exchange supplies, they set their sights on things like wire that could be used to fix wooden boards.

Because they all have no shortage of tables, chairs and benches, everyone's main focus is on containers such as wooden barrels and wooden boxes.

Jiang Muyun was even ambitious enough to build a boat with his bare hands.

And she actually built one.

It is hard to say whether Jiang Muyun’s boat can be launched into the water, but everyone can be sure that the boat definitely cannot go down to the sand.

Because after seeing the finished boat made by Jiang Muyun, Xiaobai was so considerate that he replaced the sled he was pulling with the boat. Jiang Muyun was so moved that he hugged Xiaobai and called him his sweetheart.

As a result, the next night when Xiaobai used the small boat to take a few people out hunting, everyone was left behind halfway.

Because of Jiang Muyun's boat, it was directly broken in the middle.

They walked home that night.

Jiang Muyun smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's think on the bright side. At least we didn't get killed by the flood."

I don’t know what touched them with Jiang Muyun’s words, but after returning that day, everyone started studying the ship.

While planning the cabin layout, Wang Qingqing explained to Jiang Muyun, "When I started researching how to build a boat that could float freely in floodwaters, I decided it didn't matter if the rainy season came later."

Wang Qingqing thought for a moment and added, "Of course, the most perfect scenario would be that we could build Noah's Ark tomorrow, and then it would rain heavily that night."

Jiang Muyun said seriously, "Wait a minute, did you worship your clay figurine before you said that?"

Wang Qingqing was stunned for two seconds, then slapped her thigh in regret: "Oh no! I forgot a few days ago, so I woke up this morning to make up for it!"

Zhao Jiahao was so heartbroken that he pinched his philtrum: "Why don't you not pray tomorrow and talk about it again?"

Li Anxuan pinched his brow helplessly: "How can this possibly be useful..."

Everyone glared at Li Anxuan in an instant.

Li Anxuan was silent for two seconds before adding the second half of the sentence: "Utilitarian milk is not advisable."

A group of metaphysical believers nodded in satisfaction.

Good, there are no traitors among us.

Although Wang Qingqing's magic of words can no longer be relied upon, her psychological tactics are still very effective.

The way people now test the quality of a boat is to let Xiaobai pull the boat and carry people.

When everyone starts to become obsessed with shipbuilding and fails again and again, they really start to think, "Fortunately, it's not the rainy season yet and there are no floods."

This thought came to them particularly frequently during the several desert hikes they were forced to undertake.

This is even more true today.

The boat they were riding tonight was a new product that Wu Xingyue had just completed.

Wu Xingyue didn't know where the structural balance was not done well. After Xiaobai ran faster, the boat was directly overturned, and it was lifted from the stern to the front.

A group of people fell into a heap, and both people and dogs were covered under the wooden boat.

The boat capsized so quickly that even Dabai, who was held in Jiang Muyun's arms, couldn't escape.

Jiang Muyun was just stacked on top of the crowd. She rolled over and lifted herself and the boat off the crowd. She was a little dizzy when she broke free from the boat, so when a drop of cool liquid fell on her forehead, Jiang Muyun thought it was an illusion.

Jiang Muyun touched his forehead and looked around at his companions. Everyone was standing there in a daze.

Wu Xingyue raised her head, staring blankly at the sky without saying a word. Chu Buwen was staring at his right hand, his thumb gently stroking the wet spot on his index finger.

It was not until Xiaobai's excited howl was heard and Dabai changed his previous listless posture and started jumping around that everyone realized that it was really raining.

Jiang Muyun pulled off the veil covering her face and took a deep breath.

The gentle and moist air rushed into the dry nasal cavity, soothing the stinging feeling that had been lingering in everyone's nasal cavity like a thorn in the flesh during the long dry season.

Jiang Muyun greedily brought his rain-soaked fingers closer, breathing in the long-lost moisture in the air.

However, a few seconds later, a loud thunder exploded in the sky, and raindrops as big as beans fell down on the head.

Wu Xingyue, who had just held her head high, was instantly hit and ran away with her head in her hands, crying: "A raindrop just happened to hit my eye and it's going to blind me! It hurts so much!"

Wu Xingyue's shout startled Jiang Muyun: "Hurry, hurry, go home!"

They were in soft sand now!

Looking at the heavy rain pouring down, if they ran any slower, they would be forced to practice light skills on the wet quicksand.

If you fail a course, you will be buried directly without even having to dig a grave.

Chu Buwen directly cut the noose tied to Xiaobai, and tied the end that was originally connected to the small wooden boat to Jiang Muyun's wrist.

Jiang Muyun grabbed the rope and pulled Xiaobai back, who was running around excitedly. "Baby, if you don't go home, we'll die on the road!"

Xiaobai was not angry when his interest was interrupted. He ran back to Jiang Muyun and rubbed her legs, raising his head to ask for a touch.

After successfully obtaining Jiang Muyun's head-rubbing and neck-stroking suit, Xiaobai finally came out of his excited state and happily led everyone towards home.

Even while running, it would suddenly jump up and down a few times, and howl a few times from time to time to liven up the atmosphere.

The wolf howl was so realistic that Jiang Muyun felt that she really couldn't let Xiaobai stay with Xiaoguai from the neighboring South 1 base anymore. This poor kid had learned all sorts of nonsense from them day after day!

When Dabai saw Jiang Muyun and others rushing back, he cleverly jumped back into Chu Buwen's arms and would never take an extra step if he could be lazy.

Chu Buwen was embraced by Dabai. The hard-hearted Chu Buwen was not fooled by Dabai's well-behaved appearance. He raised his hand and rubbed Dabai hard: "I was wondering why you two are so excited to go out and play these days. You two are really not afraid of dying outside, right?"

On a moonless night, the dense and terrifying rain curtain, and the lightning that occasionally tore through the night sky, made it difficult for them to maintain their balance even while running.

Jiang Muyun held Xiaobai in front to lead the way, Chu Buwen held Jiang Muyun, and the other companions behind them held one by one and ran wildly towards home in the heavy rain.

The rainstorm hit the sand silently, only the uncontrollable laughter of a few people in the rain was particularly noticeable.
