This is hard work; it requires constant stirring to fully blend the clay and adhesive together, and water needs to be added along the way.
The amount of water should be moderate; too much water will make the mud too thin and weaken its bonding effect, while too little water will make the mud too dry and difficult to bond.
Two hours later, after the mud had fully solidified, Sang Ning and his team began to lay stones on the frame. To prevent the stone walls from tilting, Sang Ning used bamboo strips instead of a baseline to ensure the walls of the house were level.
Don't underestimate Mu Tao and the others just because they don't know how to do this or that. Once someone teaches them and they follow the instructions, they can do the work quickly and well.
Just like a rock.
Sang Ning simply said that it would be best to use flat stones of roughly the same size, and they took it to heart. All the stones they brought back were roughly the same thickness and size.
The stones were neatly piled to one side. Sang Ning was the weakest of all the people, so she was responsible for applying adhesive to seal the gaps between the stones.
Mu Tao and the others were strong and were responsible for moving the stones and stacking them along the frame, while Mona and Fimmonloa were responsible for adjusting the placement of the stones and supervising for any tilting.
The six of them worked together, and the stone house gradually began to take shape under everyone's watchful eyes.
When the house was almost finished, with only the roof remaining, the live-streaming assistant sent an announcement—
"The following is a notification: at noon three days from now, the first batch of survival supplies, totaling 102 packages, will be delivered."
"The drop location will be sent to your wristband on the day of the drop. Players who want to receive the survival package, please go to the drop location according to the coordinates on your wristband. Good luck!"
The announcement was repeated three times, and all the contestants heard it.
An Yan exclaimed with delight, "We have supplies!"
Eli hummed in agreement, his face showing no joy, but rather a hint of distress. "Apart from the six unlucky ones who were eliminated, the remaining 12 contestants chose to withdraw from the competition because they couldn't hold on any longer. That means there are only 18 fewer contestants out of the total of 5,000, leaving more than 4,000."
At this point, he sighed and said to An Yan, "We won't get any survival supplies. There are too few. There are only 102 survival packages in total, and more than 4,000 contestants are vying for them. We won't be able to get any."
"Don't worry, we have Lao Mo."
An Yan pointed at Mo Yicheng, "Old Mo's fighting power is top-notch, Old Mo will definitely be able to grab the survival pack."
"You think too highly of me."
Mo Yicheng said calmly, "The five thousand contestants this time are all elites from all walks of life. I really don't have the confidence to beat those few people."
He rattled off a few numbers, all of whom were among the top ten strongest contestants.
An Yan's face fell upon hearing this. "So, you mean we have absolutely no hope?"
"uncertain."
Mo Yicheng stroked his chin and said, "Alliances are everywhere these days. Based on my understanding of the production team, although the amount of survival supplies distributed this time is small, the survival kits are definitely not small."
"If nothing goes wrong, the supplies in a survival kit could be more than we can imagine."
He smiled slightly, "What I mean is that we should find someone to form an alliance. The saying 'many hands make light work' may not apply to all situations, but it should be enough to draw fire and provide cover for us."
"If we can actually snag a survival kit, the survival supplies inside can be split equally between the two sides."
Then he asked the crowd, "What do you think?"
"I have no objection."
An Yan was the first to respond, and Eli and the others exchanged glances and said in unison that they had no objections either.
But now there's a very serious problem—
Who should we team up with?
Eli said seriously, "Even if it's a temporary team, the strength should be comparable. I don't want to team up with a team that will drag me down, like Sang Ning."
Just then, Sang Ning's viewers came over to check the military situation. By sheer coincidence, Xingxingdian Deng ended up in Eli's live stream. Hearing his words, she chuckled and sent a special effect comment directly through telepathy.
[A grown man as narrow-minded as you? I think you should see a doctor.]
[You can use an analogy if you want, but why drag Sang Ning into this? Did she dig up your ancestral graves or cheat on you? Why are you slandering her like this?]
[Let me tell you, you complain that Sang Ning is holding you back, but Sang Ning complains that you're disrespectful!]
Don't worry, Sang Ning has five well-behaved, sensible, and obedient teammates. She really doesn't need to team up with you guys!
The special effects bullet comments have a unique feature: they explode like fireworks, and the text sparkles, displaying itself in front of you from all angles, making it hard to ignore.
Eli and the others, who haven't heard from Sang Ning since their last separation, are truly unaware of Sang Ning's current situation.
Eli meant no harm; he was just casually using Sang Ning as an example because, in his mind, Sang Ning was the only primitive human and the weakest, so using her as an example was perfectly reasonable.
Unexpectedly, Sang Ning had an audience who seemed to be defending her and directly confronted her, leaving her somewhat bewildered.
An Yan wasn't confused. After a brief moment of stunned silence upon seeing the special effects comments, he asked, "Sang Ning teamed up?"
Yes, we've teamed up.
[Sang Ning not only teamed up with her teammates, but their house is almost finished being built. Moreover, they have meat, vegetables, staple foods, soup, and fruit every day; their life couldn't be more comfortable.]
Aside from being chased by rabbits, it's fair to say that none of the other contestants had it as easy as Sang Ning and her group.
[Once their houses are built, life will be much more comfortable. All you comrades Eli, don't worry. Even if Sang Ning runs into you on the road, she won't consider teaming up with you. After all, you look down on her, and your disdain is written all over your faces.]
Speaking of this, Xingxingdiandian was quite angry.
He started watching as soon as Sang Ning's live stream opened. Initially, like many viewers, he was full of malice towards Sang Ning, this primitive human, and gradually he also sent vicious comments such as "Sang Ning, die soon" to the barrage.
However, Sang Ning taught him a lesson by using fire-making techniques, and the current "Starry Night" represents a reformed person who has corrected his mistakes.
He had almost forgotten about these things. After all, the atmosphere in Sang Ning's group was too harmonious. Even the usually dramatic Mo Nainai had become a good girl. Watching them build houses, eat, drink, and play around every day made him feel quite comfortable.
However, Eli's words brought back unpleasant memories, and the disdain Eli and his group had shown towards Suning was still vivid in their minds.
In the spirit of standing up for her father, Xingxingdiandeng gave An Yan and the others a thorough explanation of what Sang Ning and his team had accomplished during this period.
In fact, there was no need for him to explain at all. An Yan and the others, who usually only searched for those strong people and spied on their live streams to check the situation, took the initiative to search for Sang Ning's live stream this time.
