The next day, when Tao Zhenzhen woke up, she saw Si Lan cutting open a little rabbit.

The rabbit, which had been injured long ago, had died after struggling all night. Si Lan then cut it open with a sharp stone and a sharpened branch, and put the internal organs aside, and the fur and twisted skin were placed on the other side.

Tao Zhenzhen looked at the bloody rabbit and couldn't help but squeeze her nose: "Why kill the rabbit?!"

Si Lan replied calmly: "It's dead."

"Do we have to kill them if they die?"

"Why not offer it as a sacrifice?"

"But it looks so pitiful!"

"Will you eat later?"

Tao Zhenzhen immediately shut up and looked at the little rabbit with sympathy but greed.

Si Lan continued peeling: "Come and help if you want to eat."

Tao Zhenzhen still didn't want to go. She always felt that if she didn't take action, it wouldn't be considered hurting the little rabbit.

Si Lan looked over coldly again, and Tao Zhenzhen finally came closer under the pressure of her seemingly light but actually terrifying gaze. Following her guidance, she lit a fire, built a grill, and then washed the rabbit's internal organs.

After skinning the rabbit, Si Lan cleaned it with water from a stream in the forest.

They didn't have any salt yet, but they had picked up some lemongrass and mint along the way.

She kept the roots and young leaves of the spices, processed the old leaves simply, and stuffed them all into the rabbit's belly, inserted branches, and roasted it by the fire.

Tao Zhenzhen watched the rabbit meat turn from white to yellow, and then become dry and tight, drooling helplessly.

Si Lan roasted the rabbit but didn't let her eat it whole. She only tore off two small pieces and handed them to Tao Zhenzhen: "Eat it with your fruit. It doesn't taste good, but you are not allowed to pick and choose, otherwise you won't have another meal."

Tao Zhenzhen stared at the remaining large piece of rabbit meat: "What about the rest?"

Si Lan: "Return the property to its original owner."

Tao Zhenzhen was shocked, chewing the not-so-delicious rabbit meat and said, "Give it back to the police officer? Where can we find him?"

Si Lan had already dismantled the straw hut, put away the support, and put it back into the storage pen along with the rabbit meat.

"Didn't I say yesterday that he was going to organize other players, so wherever there were a lot of people, he would be there."

Tao Zhenzhen looked at the demolished campsite again: "Then why don't we stay here? I think this place is pretty good..."

Si Lan also carried the bundle of firewood left by Fang Xun and glanced at her: "Can you hunt?"

"……Won't."

"Did you know there are wild animals in the forest?"

"I heard it from my father."

"Then how are you going to live in the forest if you can't hunt or protect yourself?"

Tao Zhenzhen was suddenly speechless. She could also hear the disgust in Si Lan's voice. She pouted and the rabbit meat in her mouth no longer tasted good.

She had no choice but to get up, put the uneaten rabbit meat back into the storage pen, and followed Si Lan: "Okay then."

Si Lan turned and walked out.

After walking out of the forest and going a little further, they indeed saw traces of people.

After more than three days of tossing and turning, and with the intervention of the National Infrastructure Group yesterday, the players in Country T have calmed down a bit. At the same time, they have begun to realize that to stay in the game, they must ensure the stability of various values.

At this time, people were trying every possible way to find food and drink, and began to think of ways to find a living environment for themselves.

Si Lan's appearance did not attract much attention, and she did not have much in her hands, so she was not worthy of others' covetousness.

Tao Zhenzhen, however, saw that everyone was busy running around, and some were digging holes in the land. She asked curiously, "Sister, what are they doing?"

Si Lan looked at the deep pits and replied, "Let's build a house."

“Are we starting to build the house now?!”

"What else?"

"What will we use to build it?"

Si Lan looked at the materials piled on the ground again. There was mud and grass, but there was still a lack of supporting materials for the large frame. She pointed to the soil that had not yet been mixed and said: "Those are all materials."

"Once they find tools to cut wood, they can build simple houses."

Tao Zhenzhen asked again: "What kind of tools should we use to cut wood?"

Si Lan suddenly looked at her.

Tao Zhenzhen shrank her neck: Oh no, am I asking too many questions and bothering my sister again?

Si Lan was patient this time. She only glanced at her, then looked away and slowly replied, "Just like in primitive society long, long ago, when people didn't have ready-made tools, they would use methods like hitting stones against each other, grinding against each other, and so on to make crude tools."

She waved the spear in her hand. "Like this. If you can find a sharp stone ready-made, you can just use it. If not, you can find a way to make it. So, what kind of tools do you think are needed for felling wood?"

Tao Zhenzhen tilted her head: "Axe?"

"What should the axe do?"

Tao Zhenzhen looked at the sharp stone spear in Si Lan's hand and copied its method of manufacture: "Find a large sharp stone and then... tie it to the wooden board?"

Si Lan: "What if there are no wooden boards?"

"Hmm...looking for a branch?"

"The branches are so fragile, how can you cut down the trunk?"

"What should we do then?"

Si Lan didn't answer this time, she just said, "Once you're settled, you'll know if you try it yourself."

Tao Zhenzhen: "I try?!"

"Well. If you can't hunt, then grind stones. You have to do something."

Tao Zhenzhen wailed and tried to argue.

But thinking about how this sister had never given her a day off in the three days since she came here, and how no matter how many complaints she made, they were all ignored by her in the end, Tao Zhenzhen gave up after thinking about it.

The two of them walked around the crowd and headed towards a more crowded area further away.

Sure enough, after a while, Fang Xun's back was seen in front.

"Wow! Uncle policeman!" Tao Zhenzhen pointed at him and shouted.

Unexpectedly, Fang Xun was arguing with someone and when he was distracted for a moment, a fist came towards him from the opposite side!

Even though Fang Xun dodged quickly, he still took two steps back because he didn't stand firmly.

Then the two heard the person opposite him shouting, "You police officers should immediately come up with a solution and place us. What gives you the right to order us to build houses?!"

Fang Xun frowned and suppressed his anger: "It's not an order, it's a suggestion. After all—"

"What a bullshit suggestion you're giving! We citizens have supported you for so many years, and what's the result?! You can't even do such a small thing, and you've even trapped us by playing a game!"

"Being trapped is fine, we accept that we have to wait, but now you want us to play games by ourselves and build a house with nothing?!"

Fang Xun: "Please stop your attacks and insults. Besides, our police force is limited at the moment, so—"

"What the hell does limited police force have to do with me?!"

"Do you know who I am? Do you know what my status is in the real world?!"

"The taxes I pay you are more than you could ever earn in your entire life! Whether you can do it or not is your business, but it is our right to ask you to provide services and help! I've made a request, and you must find a way for me!"

Fang Xun frowned again. No matter how good his temper was, he was deeply hurt by these words.

Tao Zhenzhen subconsciously hid behind Si Lan and grabbed her clothes: "Sister...that man is so fierce..."

Si Lan looked at them expressionlessly for a while, and then roughly figured out what happened from the discussions of others.

Fang Xun probably walked out of the forest and, in accordance with the requirements of the national infrastructure delegation, organized the surrounding players to find food and create living places to ensure the players' good condition in the game and wait for national rescue.

However, some players are unwilling to cooperate, claiming that public servants should do these things for them instead of letting them work hard on their own.

Fang Xun expressed his difficulty in finding enough manpower and asked the players to cooperate first, but was met with fierce harassment and insults.

Si Lan looked at Fang Xun's expression and guessed that he was feeling guilty, which was why he was so tolerant of the emotional players.

Even though the player's behavior just now was equivalent to assaulting a police officer, the police officer didn't say a word.

Si Lan looked at the players around her who were unwilling or afraid to intervene. Finally, she put the bundle of firewood in front of Tao Zhenzhen, handed the spear to her, and walked straight over.

Fang Xun didn't want to inflame the player's emotions any further, so he let the player curse him and explained in a gentle voice. However, this tolerance made the player feel that he was weak, and since they were in the game, the player got angry and threw another punch: "You fucking——"

Bang!

A muffled sound was heard, abruptly cutting off the player's insults.

Before everyone could see what was happening, the player had been knocked to the ground. In front of him, a tall female player appeared, standing between him and the police, staring silently at him as he fell to the ground.

This game has pain sensing. Even if the wound cannot be transferred to reality, the pain can still be transmitted to the human body through the game's sensory simulation program, allowing players to feel pain and discomfort simultaneously.

Si Lan did not hold back, causing the player to fall and become dizzy and in great pain.

He lay on the ground and took a long time to relax before he reluctantly moved his gaze to look over.

"You, who are you and what are you doing?!" He stared at Si Lan who appeared out of nowhere, and was furious.

Si Lan replied expressionlessly: "A passerby."

Fang Xun looked at her in surprise, told her not to be impulsive, and went over to pull the player: "I'll help you--"

Before he could finish his words, the player yelled at him, "Don't touch me!"

Seeing Si Lan helping Fang Xun, and the two of them seemed to know each other, the player snorted coldly, his eyes showing understanding: "Oh, you are his accomplice?"

"What? The police are here, and you're still beating people?! Is there any law or order left?!"

Si Lan remained indifferent: "I'm not a police officer."

The player struggled to sit up and glared at her angrily: "You're not a police officer? What a joke! You're not a police officer, and you're helping him? You lied without blinking an eye!"

Si Lan: "I'm not. No matter what you say, even if I leave the game and check, it's not true."

"This citizen of Rabbit Country has the same rights as you. So, not only can I help whoever I want, I can also continue to beat you up. If you continue to act wild here, I will continue to beat you up."

The player immediately clenched his fist: "Who's afraid of who?!"

Fang Xun hurriedly stopped them, asking the players to calm down while whispering to Si Lan, "Don't fight, it's unnecessary."

Si Lan's eyes never left the players. Her gaze was gloomy and cold, and she naturally looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.

Facing Fang Xun's dissuasion, she remained indifferent and replied coldly: "Don't misunderstand me, I am also exercising my civil rights."

"He's not the only one trapped in the game. He has the right to ask others to help him, and I also have the right to ask him not to cause more trouble."

Fang Xun was about to say something, but the player next to him, who was in cahoots with the male player, couldn't help but yell at Si Lan, "Asking the police for help is considered causing trouble?! Can't the people order the police around these days?!"

Si Lan glanced over casually and said, "There are so many ordinary citizens in this area within a few miles, but only one policeman. How can we expect him to help build houses for everyone? How can we wait till the end of time?"

"First, you don't have a way out, and second, you don't have the ability to get out overnight. Now you're delaying the progress of our collaborative construction and preventing others from getting out early. Aren't you just adding to the chaos? Are you the only one anxious to escape?"

Her words resonated with the audience nearby, who whispered, "Yeah... didn't the country tell us? While we wait for their rescue, we should actively participate in the game's construction. Perhaps after upgrading, we can leave early."

Someone else echoed: "We've all played games before, and it's not uncommon to encounter a game bug and be unable to exit, and then force ourselves to complete certain tasks to leave. I think this suggestion makes sense. After all, we're trapped anyway."

Upon hearing this, the troublemaking players pointed at them angrily, "Have you been brainwashed?! This was originally someone else's mistake. It was a bug caused by the upper management's poor oversight. And you're still speaking for them and paying for their mistakes?!"

Someone immediately started yelling, "What do you mean by paying for someone else's mistakes? Did someone force you to buy the chip? Did someone force you to buy the game?!"

"If there's a problem, it's a problem. Just fix it! If you can't get out, find a way out! Can't you figure out compensation after you get out?!"

"Now you keep yelling that you don't want to work or play, so what else can you do? How about you just stay aside? When we're done with our work and have some free time, we'll give you alms and build you a house. But if you freeze to death or starve to death in the meantime, and you die in the real world as well, we can't do anything about it. How about this?!"

When the man said this, the players sat there with their arms folded. "Since you volunteered, just build it yourselves! There's no one to compete with me. Come on, I insist that the police help me build a house! Come over here!"

Fang Xun was about to speak when Si Lan said calmly, "The greatest responsibility of the national police is to protect the safety of the people."

"We can do the task ourselves, but in the big picture, we need the police's assistance, so no one here has the time to help you."

Male player: "First come, first served! You line up!"

Si Lan: "The minority obeys the majority. You wait first."

The male player was about to retort, but the other players came over and pulled the outnumbered Fang Xun away: "Right, right, right, the girl is right, the minority obeys the majority. Wait until our police comrades finish their work and then we can help you."

The male player was so anxious that he wanted to stop them, but another group of tall and strong male players immediately stood in front of him and looked at him fiercely.

In addition, Si Lan, who was not polite from the beginning, and a group of people blocked several players who insisted on causing trouble, and were ready to fight if they made any more noise. Soon, those players dared not to shout anymore.

The author has something to say:

Our Sister Lan is not a serious person.
