Back at the shelter, Ye Zi tied her windbreaker around her waist to cover her private parts, then hung her pants up by the fire to dry, so she could wear them again tomorrow.

After finishing, I buried myself in the leaves. I didn't sleep well last night, and I've been working all day. Although I'm not physically tired, I'm mentally exhausted.

Regardless of the drone's shooting angle, it fell into a deep sleep.

Sure enough, having a sheltered pit was much better than sleeping on the ground, and with the improved body from the pills, Ye Zi slept much more comfortably this time.

The next day, just as dawn broke, the system woke Ye Zi up. She opened her sleepy eyes and looked around at her surroundings.

The fire was still burning, and the drone landed on the ground to save power, except the camera was pointed directly at the leaves.

He spoke to the drone:

"I need to get dressed, let's change direction."

Before Ye Zi could finish speaking, the drone took off, quickly dressed, took out a Qianjun Pill and swallowed it, then drank a few mouthfuls of water while holding the pot.

The workday officially begins.

He removed the temporary roof and moved the fire and pot out of the shelter pit; his task today was to build the shelter as well as possible.

The pit is 20 square meters in size, 5 meters long, and 4 meters wide.

The location for the fireplace needs to be left, which is relatively simple: just dig a hole in the earthen wall and then dig upwards to reach the ground.

He brandished the entrenching tool and got right to work.

The fireplace is very important; it will determine whether the shelter will be cold in the future.

It was dug in less than half an hour. With a strength of at least 2,000 jin and the right tools, it was easy.

Next, a fireplace is built using stones. To prevent smoke from escaping from the fireplace, the stones need to be sealed together with mud.

Otherwise, once the shelter is built, the smoke from the fireplace will drift out from the cracks in the stones, posing a risk of carbon dioxide poisoning.

The requirements for this mud are not high; it just needs to be able to fill the gaps between the stones.

Perfect timing! We dug out some mud while digging the water storage pit, so we can just mix it with the water from the pit.

The mixed mud was taken directly to the area where the fireplace was to be built. The stones were also readily available; a lot of them were found when digging the shelter pit yesterday.

The first layer of stones needs to be pressed firmly into the soil, covered with a layer of mud, and then stones are placed on top. This process is then repeated.

Laying stones looks simple, and it's actually not that difficult, but the prerequisite is that you know how to choose stones.

The memories of two people are combined into one. Yezi's skills are not bad; at least the fireplace is built in a decent way.

After an hour, the mud ran out. Ye Zi was too lazy to go to the water storage pit to get water and mud, so she directly mixed the remaining mud with the cooled boiled water in the pot and the soil dug out when digging the shelter pit.

And then the fireplace was finished.

The finished fireplace looks pretty good overall. The key is that when finishing the top, Ye Zi specifically found a relatively flat stone slab.

In the future, you can put leftovers on it, whether it's to make jerky or dried berries, it will be very convenient.

I took two burning pieces of firewood from the fire and put them into the fireplace. I added more firewood, and then I left the fireplace alone. I just waited for the mud to dry and then checked for any gaps that might leak smoke.

Now comes the main event: chopping down trees.

Moreover, a large quantity is needed, but fortunately the nearby trees are all very tall.

That's the good thing about densely wooded areas; in order to get more sunlight, all the trees are striving to grow taller.

Moreover, the show does not restrict contestants from cutting down trees, and there are no prerequisites, because it is a wilderness survival program. When food is scarce, it is reasonable to cut down trees for fun, and probably no one would waste their energy.

Just pick the leaves from the nearest tree, it doesn't matter what kind, as long as it's a tree. You won't need them to build a shelter, and they can be used as fuel, right?

Of course, the best choice for firewood is dead trees. If it weren't for the moisture in the trees producing a lot of smoke, it would be dangerous even if the fireplace had a vent.

The felled trees are stripped of their branches on the spot, leaving only the trunk, and then cut into four- or five-meter sections before being dragged back to the shelter pit.

While Ye Zi was busy chopping down trees and preparing the materials needed to build the shelter, the viewers in the live stream couldn't sit still any longer.

"Holy crap, a domestically made strongman?"

"My God, is this superhuman strength?"

"Wow, that's impressive strength. If he were a bit thinner, he'd be a real muscleman."

"Who can withstand that kind of strength?"

"Step back upstairs, you can't handle it, let me do it."

"Two lecherous women, case closed."

The trees that were felled were all alive, with moisture inside their trunks. Even the shortest ones were at least four meters long and over thirty centimeters in diameter.

Such a tree trunk is quite heavy, weighing at least three or four hundred pounds. He casually picked it up, with one under each arm, and strode back to the shelter pit.

The focus of the soldier king Zhuang Yan's attention has always been on Wu Jing in the No. 1 live broadcast room and Ye Zi in the No. 3 live broadcast room.

The sight of Ye Zi dragging two tree trunks back to the shelter pit naturally did not escape his notice.

The barrage of comments from viewers in the live stream naturally caught the attention of the host, Bingbing, who immediately asked:

"These two tree trunks must be very heavy. You're carrying two at once, and you're walking so fast. Can you do it?"

Zhuang Yan shook his head and said:

"We often use these tree trunks during training. Each one weighs at least 300 kilograms, and usually three to five people work together."

I can drag them away, but only one at a time, and it's very strenuous.

It's simply impossible for a leaf to drag two stalks along while moving with such speed.

"One stick weighs 300 jin, so two sticks would weigh 600 jin. How strong is Ye Zi, who can drag two sticks and still move so nimbly?" Sister Sparrow asked.

"Yes, judging from the footage, Ye Zi didn't show any signs of strain on her face at all, and... she seemed quite relaxed?" Bingbing was a little unsure whether it was true or not by the end.

"That strength must be at least a thousand pounds."

"A thousand pounds of strength? That must be innate!" Bingbing exclaimed.

"But he wasn't this strong on the first day; he was out of breath after walking for a while," Sister Sparrow said, puzzled.

"Perhaps the wilderness environment brought out his hidden attributes, or maybe he was just naturally strong and was simply unaccustomed to the new environment on the first day," Zhuang Yan could only offer a forced explanation.

Aside from accepting the explanation given by the "King of Soldiers" Zhuang Yan, other explanations are not very credible.

Ye Zi had no idea that his unintentional act had attracted so much attention; his real goal was to cut down trees and build a house.

Not only the viewers in the live stream, but also his two teammates noticed this.

Yellow Whale sent a message:

"Looks like Ye Zi is pretty fierce. He has a machete in one hand and an axe in the other. If a bear comes, it'll be nothing but food."

“Having a strong teammate is indeed a good thing, but he hasn’t eaten anything yet. Can his body hold up until we meet up?” Tong Erya replied immediately.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. He should know the importance of food. Otherwise, even if he sets up a shelter, we won't even have a chance to reunite if he doesn't last ten days."
