Seeing how excited and nervous Wang Ping was, I quickly looked up and followed the direction he was pointing.

When I saw it, I was shocked, because the originally pitch-black mountain had now turned into a golden glittering sight.

Wang Ping and I were both stunned. Wang Ping stood there motionless, completely frozen, and I wasn't much better off than him.

Because my entire brain exploded.

What we never expected was that the towering mountains surrounding the campsite we found were actually gold mines!

To be honest, I've never seen so much gold in all my life!

At that moment, Chen Jian also came over. Seeing Wang Ping and me standing there in a daze, he hurriedly asked me what was going on.

I quickly copied Wang Ping's actions and pointed to the mountain at Chen Jian.

After reading it, Chen Jian started yelling. Then, he went crazy, threw down the piece of wood he was holding, rushed towards the mountain, and touched it all over.

Everyone was taken aback by Chen Jian's action, and then the entire camp erupted in excitement.

It took us a long time to calm down, but I knew that everyone's mindset had changed. Even Yang Rui and his group, who had been calm and seemed uninterested in money, were excited and their expressions changed.

Just as everyone was immersed in this sudden joy, Xiao Qiang walked over from our house.

She looked at us, then walked over to me and said in a very calm tone.

"Sihai, even though our surrounding camps are all gold mines, have you ever considered that as long as we stay here, all this gold will be completely useless!"

“I think all this gold is not as valuable as finding another fish or hunting another wild boar, because only by being able to eat our fill and survive will this gold have any hope of being worth it, right?”

Xiao Qiang's voice wasn't loud, but every word she spoke was audible to everyone. After she finished speaking, she looked at the others and began to coax them gently.

"I think we should think about what to eat first. For example, all the firewood in our camp is wet. If you don't want to spend the night in this damp place, I suggest you take action, dry the firewood, and then make some food. Only when you're full can you think about other things."

Wang Ping had calmed down by now. Hearing Xiao Qiang's words, he quickly nodded in agreement, then stood up first and began to follow Xiao Qiang to get busy.

I quickly grabbed our axe and started chopping wood.

Then everyone got up and started moving. That night we ate bird meat.

Because the bird was so big, we had already processed it, salted it, and hung it in the warehouse. Now, we've removed one of its legs, which is enough for everyone to eat.

After roasting some of the leg meat and stewing the large bones into soup, we finally had a hot meal.

The rain was still pouring down outside, but thankfully we could finally relax this time.

Since the rocks and silt on the gold mine have been washed away, there should be no danger from now on.

We thought that once the campsite was safe, our lives would become more peaceful, but unexpectedly, this heavy rain lasted for more than half a month.

In the past two weeks, the bird we listed earlier has been almost completely eaten, and the crab we caught was made into crab sauce by Xiao Qiang and Wang Xiaoxiao a long time ago. Now, all that's left is some meat from the brown bear we caught earlier.

But with the food almost gone, eating is proving to be a hassle.

Because we have so many people, even if we only have two meals a day and drink soup every day, we still need a lot of ingredients and wood.

All the wood has now been soaked through and is so damp that it's unusable.

That afternoon, after we finished dinner, we were out of firewood.

Wang Ping dared not light the stove at night, and only gave the rare firewood to the girls.

After all, women are physically weaker, and it would be troublesome if they all fell ill.

However, Xiao Qiang and the others were also very worried.

“Sihai, we can still make it through one more night, but we only have this much firewood left. If we use it all up, what will we eat tomorrow? So I think we should save it for now and get some smaller branches to dry tomorrow to use in our spare time.”

Seeing Xiao Qiang and the others living such a difficult and cautious life made me feel extremely uncomfortable.

I actually have ways to get food, but all the food I get is obtained through that magically appearing door.

I didn't want Yang Rui and the others to know about this, because I had a feeling that if they found out, it would definitely cause trouble.

But now that we're all starving to death, there's probably no time to think about these things anymore.

I took a deep breath and patted Xiao Qiang on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll take care of the food. You just need to take care of yourself, Wang Xiaoxiao, and the child. I won't let you go hungry!"

That night, the rain continued to pour down outside.

Chen Jian and the others had already gone back to their rooms to sleep. I carefully walked to Wang Ping's room, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw Wang Ping holding a machete, his face fierce, looking towards the door.

Seeing that it was me, his expression softened: "Why are you here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Is there something you need?"

I nodded: "Yes, there isn't much food left, but I have a way to get some, though the method is a bit strange."

After hearing this, Wang Ping looked at me with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean by 'somewhat strange'?"

I briefly explained the matter to Wang Ping, and Wang Ping didn't seem very surprised.

"Actually, when you were able to take out those guns and ammunition from that door, I knew that maybe that door could conjure up other things. I just don't understand, can you really eat the things that are imagined?"

I nodded. After all, I had eaten a pot of braised pork in that doorway before, and it tasted pretty good. And since so much time had passed, I didn't feel anything wrong with myself, so I figured it should be edible.

Wang Ping and I discussed it and decided to go outside first, to get some distance away, and then retrieve the item from that door.

They just didn't dare take too much at once, nor did they dare take anything too unusual, after all, they still had to guard against Yang Rui and the others discovering any clues.

Without further ado, Wang Ping and I went to find the crab shell, covered ourselves with it to keep out the rain, and then tiptoed away from the camp. After walking quite a distance, we finally stopped in a grove of trees.

I looked at Wang Ping, and Wang Ping looked at me. We were both a little nervous, but I quickly closed my eyes and started to imagine the door.

Sure enough, the door appeared not long after we entered, and we found that nothing had changed inside.

Wang Ping seemed a little excited: "Sihai, now can you produce any food you want?"

I shook my head: "I really don't know, but we can give it a try tonight."

Wang Ping took a deep breath, sat down next to someone, the overhead lamp was on, and the surroundings were warm and cozy, without any dampness, making him feel very relaxed.

I closed my eyes and leaned against the side, starting to fantasize about food.

The first threat is wild boars. If we could get six or seven wild boars right now, our problem would be solved.

But when I opened my eyes, I didn't see any wild boars. Instead, I found more than a dozen dishes in front of Wang Ping, still steaming.
