Chapter 759: The Mermaid (22)

Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but a new crisis was about to begin. She felt something was wrong with her body. She was a mermaid, and mermaids are naturally aquatic. In the water, she felt her legs were itchy, and she had a premonition that she was about to turn into a fish tail. She couldn't let this happen. If she did, she would be completely doomed.

System: [Host, you have thirty minutes left. You cannot stay in the water for more than thirty minutes.]

Wen Wan quickly said, "Let's leave first, it wouldn't be good if we caught a cold."

The group quickly filled their containers with clean water and swam to shore.

After finding a temporarily safe place, they began to gather firewood and start a fire. If they continued to wear wet clothes and any of them caught a cold, they would have to give up and there would be no way they could continue.

The one who is most worrying is Wen Wan, because she is the weakest. Everyone else looks normal, but Wen Wan's complexion is not good. Her lips are pale, but her face is red.

Once the fire started, Haitang quickly pushed Wen Wan to the nearest spot.

"Ah Yuan, hurry up and dry the clothes."

Wen Wan nodded, and the system kicked in. Wen Wan felt that her clothes were almost dry in just a few minutes. At that moment, Wen Wan's stomach growled.

I'm hungry.

Wen Wan took out the nutritional supplements. She really disliked the taste of these supplements, and they were also life-saving. Although she didn't care about rankings, it would be too embarrassing to be eliminated.

Moreover, there will be penalties after being eliminated, which is not a good omen.

"I'll go find something to eat. You must be hungry too."

Haitang: "Why don't you take some nutritional supplements first? You're weak, so don't go out. Chen Lin, Liu Xu, and I will go. You and Lingzi can wait for us here."

Wen Wan: "No, it's too dangerous for Lingzi and me to stay here. I'm so weak, how could Lingzi possibly protect me? How about this, Brother Liu and I will go, and you guys stay here to arrange temporary accommodations for tonight. We can't possibly sleep in the middle of nowhere, can we?"

"Otherwise what? You don't actually think we have a house to live in, do you?" Liu Xu complained. They've already survived on the extremes, how could they possibly still have a house to live in?

Wen Yan: "..."

Yes, there's nothing here.

Liu Xu said, "Forget it, I'll go with her. This will help her get some exercise and develop a fever, which will make her less likely to catch a cold. Besides, she has a knack for intuition, so maybe we'll find something useful."

These words were somewhat sarcastic, but Wen Wan held back.

After all, nothing is more important than eating right now. According to the system, many mutated creatures here are inedible, and ordinary ingredients are scarce. They're not unavailable, but they're hard to find. This forces everyone to fight and snatch each other's nutrient solutions. And they have to hurry, otherwise the nutrient solutions they have will be used up faster as time goes on, which will be even more disadvantageous.

Liu Xu: "We were lucky. We didn't encounter any strong teams or have any major conflicts along the way."

Wen Wan: "Mm."

Liu Xu didn't have high hopes for finding food, but he was still somewhat looking forward to it.

Then, for the next few minutes, Liu Xu felt completely numb.

Because along the way they not only encountered a fruit tree that bore fruit that they could eat, but they also encountered no wild animals.

We picked quite a lot of fruit.

They also encountered many edible wild vegetables and mushrooms, and even bumped into a pheasant, which seemed to be blind and ran right in front of Wen Wan.

Liu Xu: "..."

stunned.

The students and leaders watching the live stream were also stunned.

Is this even possible? This luck is outrageous! The first time might be a coincidence, the second time might be a coincidence, but how could the subsequent times still be coincidences?

Oh, what a lucky koi!

Liu Xu's attitude towards Wen Wan changed instantly. Although he hadn't shown it yet, his resentment towards Wen Wan, his teammate who was dragging him down, had lessened considerably.

If intuition is really that accurate, it's not that we can't be together; at least we'll be able to help each other in many ways in the future.

Wen Wan even managed to find a pot in the end.

Moreover, it's a very simple and unadorned pot, quite old, but of excellent quality; apart from the broken handle, the pot itself is still in good condition.

"This place has clearly been visited before. It seems you're quite lucky to have found something like this."

Wen Wan also found a lot of things that Liu Xu didn't recognize. Wen Wan said they were useful, so Liu Xu picked quite a few.

The two then went back.

After all, everyone else must be hungry too, so eating as soon as possible is the most important thing.

Haitang marked some simple traps around the area; while they might not necessarily stop others, they could serve as a warning.

Chen Lin gathered a lot of firewood, while Lingzi gathered a lot of dry grass to make a bed, so that at least the grass wouldn't directly touch the ground.

When Wen Wan and Liu Xu returned, the others gathered around them. "Did you find anything to eat?"

Liu Xu grinned from ear to ear, "I'm lucky."

Then I put down the bag I was carrying on my back, which was wrapped in my clothes. It contained wild fruits, mushrooms, and wild vegetables.

There was also a pheasant, which was still alive.

Haitang and the other two were shocked, especially when they saw the pot.

"You two found all of these? Your luck is incredible!" Haitang exclaimed.

Liu Xu: "This is all thanks to Wen Wan. I must say, Wen Wan's intuition is really useful. Is this the power of 3S mental strength? Although her physical strength is lacking, she has an intuition that is extraordinary?"

"Never mind, let's start a fire and cook something, let's eat first."

Then Haitang asked, "Who among you can cook?"

Liu Xu: "Isn't it just a matter of throwing everything in and cooking it?"

Haitang stared intently at Wen Wan, "Wen, you can definitely do it, right?"

Wen Wan is a food vlogger, so this should be okay, right?

Wen Yan: "..."

She can't.

Wen Wan: "I only know the theoretical knowledge. Lingzi, don't you know how to cook a little? I'll teach you and you can do it. If I do it, all these ingredients might go to waste."

Reiko nodded. "Okay."

"Liu Xu, you help them. Chen Ge and I will patrol the perimeter to prevent anyone from getting in."

Liu Xu: "Okay, I'll take over when you guys are tired."

After that, a fire was lit and a pot was set up. Wen Wan began to give instructions from the side, first instructing Liu Xu on how to kill and process the chicken.

Nothing was wasted; even the chicken blood was stored, and the chicken's internal organs were kept. The chicken was then cut into small pieces.

After that, Lingzi began to cook according to Wen Wan's instructions.

Actually, Reiko's cooking skills are just average, but compared to others, they are good enough.

Following Wen Wan's instructions step by step, Wen Wan's recipe was the most suitable for the current ingredients and conditions given by the system. Soon, a rich aroma wafted out, and Liu Xu swallowed hard, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light as he stared at the pot.
