After a short rest, the two stood up and continued to move forward. Only by exploring the surrounding terrain could they find a relatively safe place to camp.
Not long after walking, the two stopped at the same time - in the distance, a group of wild wolves were hunting a black bear.
The black bear was very tall and strong, and it could easily knock the wolf away with a slap. However, there were too many wolves besieging it, and for every one it knocked away, three more would come to bite it.
Soon, the smell of blood spread.
Su Hanxin said that she felt like she was watching a live version of Animal World.
Zhong Rui took Su Han's hand and gently led her to the side. He meant that we should go this way and not get involved.
Su Han nodded and followed. In order to avoid attracting attention, she said nothing during the whole process, and was extremely quiet. After walking a long way, she said sadly, "I walked for a long time, but I didn't see any safe place."
She couldn't even find a place that was "relatively" safe.
Zhong Rui remained silent, his face solemn, as if he was thinking about a countermeasure.
Su Han looked around, trying to find a good place to camp. She didn't want to care whether it was safe or not, because there was no place in the primeval forest that was safe anyway.
The stream gurgled, and a silly rabbit jumped out. In front of Su Han and Zhong Rui, he lowered his head and drank water quickly.
Su Han thought, if he wasn’t in a bad mood, this guy might have turned into a roasted rabbit!
She was about to look away when she saw a strange light flash by. The next second, the rabbit fell to the ground, seemingly dead.
"Electric eel." Su Han slowly uttered two words with an ugly expression on his face.
The electric eel, although it looks like an eel and gets its name from it, is actually a type of knife fish. In the real world, the electric eel is known as the "high-voltage wire in the water". It can generate enough current to stun a person and can easily kill small animals.
Even when it encounters large creatures, it can stun the target, such as horses, cows, etc.
Such a dangerous creature hides silently in the stream. If you approach it rashly, the player will be the one in trouble.
Su Han once again realized that danger was everywhere.
Zhong Rui had a blank expression on his face. "I'm curious, with this level of attack power, how many players can survive the first day?"
Su Han gave up and said, "It's dangerous no matter where we camp, so let's just find a random place. After we build fences and traps, we should feel safer."
After a pause, she added, "By the way, clear a firebreak."
Zhong Rui's face was full of helplessness. In his heart, he was thinking, rocket launchers are very easy to cause fires! What can he do? He was also helpless.
Su Han looked into the distance and finally found something after a long while. "There is a birch forest over there with relatively sparse trees. Let's set up camp there."
Zhong Rui was very skeptical. Given the current situation, if they said no, the two might have to go their separate ways... With Su Han's courage, even if they formed a team to enter the dungeon, they could also go their separate ways and work alone.
In order to avoid tragedy, he answered firmly and decisively, "Okay."
So that was settled.
The two walked in the direction Su Han pointed, and a quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the birch forest. The trees were sparse and not dense, with only some weeds growing around them.
Su Han began to look through her personal storage. If she remembered correctly, she should have a Tang sword that could be used to chop trees.
Zhong Rui took out an axe and calmly assigned tasks, "I'll chop down the trees, you weed, and then dig out the stumps."
Su Han blinked. Was he taking the initiative to do the hard work? The little friend was a very nice person. She really didn't make a mistake about him!
Su Han accepted the arrangement without hesitation. Then, she began to weed by manually pulling and hoeing the weeds, which was particularly simple and unpretentious.
Zhong Rui rolled up his sleeves and started chopping trees.
Time passed by every second.
Two hours later, they sat down under a birch tree and began to rest.
"It takes a lot of effort just to clear out a piece of space." Zhong Rui took a sip of mineral water, his face looking very unhappy.
"Take your time..." Su Han's tone was particularly melancholy. Then, she took out the meat floss and butter bread and started to eat it, drinking milk from time to time.
"Give me some." Zhong Rui asked without hesitation.
Su Han couldn't help but glance sideways, "Don't you have it?" This guy has filled his personal warehouse to the brim!
"The bread looks delicious." Zhong Rui answered seriously.
Su Han had no choice but to stuff a meat floss and cream bun into the hand.
The lunch hour was quiet and leisurely, with a peaceful atmosphere. But when Su Han thought about having to continue doing physical work in the afternoon, evening, or even tomorrow, he lost all thoughts.
"Ouch!" Suddenly, Zhong Rui groaned, quickly took out a dagger, and stabbed it hard in the ankle.
"What's wrong?" Su Han was concentrating on eating bread and had no idea what was going on.
The dagger stabbed several times before stopping.
Zhong Rui looked solemn and said slowly, "It was bitten by an ant. It's poisonous."
Su Han then discovered that there was a black ant lying on the ground. It was very small and inconspicuous, and it would be easily overlooked.
Looking at Zhong Rui's condition again, it has become, "Fullness: 95%, Cleanliness: 92%, Physical Strength 98%. Status: Intact, Poisoned."
Something bad could happen just by having a quiet meal. Su Han didn't know what else to say.
Zhong Rui calmly swallowed the detoxification pills and continued to eat and drink as if nothing had happened. "In the days to come, I will be attacked but I don't know what happened. This will happen often. Get used to it sooner."
Su Han drank the milk indifferently, not wanting to get used to it.
"Have you discovered? After doing heavy work for a long time, the speed at which your satiety is consumed becomes 2-3 times as fast as before?" Zhong Rui spoke in a disjointed manner.
Su Han drank the milk in one gulp and said calmly, "This is a dungeon that relies on consumption. All the items that you have stockpiled since entering the game will come in handy here."
After lunch, the two returned to work, one cutting trees and the other weeding.
It was less than two o'clock in the afternoon when the weeding was finished. Su Han looked around and found that the other bushes were far away, so she decided to continue cleaning tomorrow. Then, she used a dagger to sharpen a wooden shovel and started to shovel the tree stump.
After working hard, the two finally cleared a piece of land before the sun set. Although the area was small, they felt extremely satisfied.
Zhong Rui announced, "Let's find some rocks, build a bonfire, and have dinner, and we'll call it a day."
Su Han sat on the ground, looking thoughtful. After a long while, she suddenly mentioned, "Now that we have a quarantine zone, how about setting fire to the forest?"
If we could burn all the plants and animals, there would be nothing to worry about.
Zhong Rui said seriously, "I've thought about this method, but I don't think the system will leave any bugs."
It was supposed to be a primeval forest background, but it was all burned down by a fire. Isn't that a joke?
"Just give it a try." Su Han insisted.
"Okay, but wait a moment." Zhong Rui said.
Pick up stones, build a stone bonfire, and eat dinner. When everything is ready, Zhong Rui signals his friends to start.
Su Han didn't rush to take out his lighter, but instead took out a bucket of diesel.
Zhong Rui's expression changed, "I almost forgot, you still have nearly forty barrels of diesel."
"Yes. Anyway, it's the final battle, so it doesn't matter if we use up all the stockpiled supplies." After saying that, Su Han poured diesel on the trees, the ground, and the haystacks to help them burn, then took out a lighter and lit it.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the system's mechanical voice suddenly rang in my ears, and the voice sounded particularly serious, "Warning! Warning! Your actions will cause serious unknown consequences. It is recommended to stop."
The content was repeated three times, as if to emphasize the seriousness of the matter.
Su Han stopped moving and announced helplessly, "The system won't allow it."
"What do you mean?" Zhong Rui frowned.
Su Han handed over the lighter and motioned for him to try it himself.
Zhong Rui lit the fire without hesitation. As soon as the flame appeared, the same warning sounded in his ears.
"Will the behavior lead to serious unknown consequences? I really want to give it a try." Zhong Rui was quite interested.
Su Han pretended not to hear and said calmly, "Since the system doesn't allow it, then don't set the fire." After all, she didn't have a hobby of seeking death.
Zhong Rui felt very sorry.
**
As night falls, a breeze blows, bringing a slight coolness.
Zhong Rui was about to ask his friend if he needed a blanket when he saw Su Han take out a tent and sleeping bag and waved, "Come here."
Zhong Rui sighed softly. He was so capable, how could he have a chance to show off? It was like being kept by someone... He thought so, but his movements were not slow, and he quickly got into the tent.
Not far away, flames were flickering, and the stone bonfire made crackling sounds from time to time, making the surroundings even quieter.
The moonlight is like water and the stars are shining.
Zhong Rui's expression changed. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the guy next to him say seriously, "Someone has to be on duty at night, and each person is responsible for half. Will you guard the first half of the night or the second half?"
Zhong Rui, "..."
I am single because of my strength.
In an instant, he lost all thoughts and said stiffly, "I can do anything."
"Then you stay in the first half of the night, and I stay in the second half." Su Han made a quick decision. Then he patted his friend on the shoulder and said happily, "I'm going to sleep first, you keep going."
Zhong Rui watched someone fall asleep without hesitation. She even fell into a deep sleep in a short while.
This guy is really... The moonlight is so beautiful, shouldn't they sit side by side and chat? How did he fall asleep? !
Zhong Rui was so upset that he couldn't speak, but he was helpless. In the end, he could only throw wood into the stone campfire out of boredom.
Suddenly, he remembered something, paused, and looked at Su Han fiercely - if I remember correctly, when they first formed a team, she couldn't sleep even when they were together? She could only sleep peacefully when she was alone. But now that they were still alone, she fell asleep quickly. Does this mean that there is trust between them?
Thinking of this, Zhong Rui couldn't help but curl up his lips. Although he tried his best to hide it, the smile came from the heart and couldn't be concealed.
No words were spoken that night.
At dawn, Su Han seemed to have noticed something and slowly opened her eyes. When she realized that it was almost dawn, she suddenly froze, stood up hastily, and asked repeatedly, "You have been guarding all night, you haven't rested yet? Sorry, I overslept... By the way, why didn't you wake me up?"
Zhong Rui yawned and said lazily, "It's okay to change shifts now. You stay here and watch, I'll go catch up on my sleep."
"Okay, leave it to me." Su Han agreed solemnly.
Zhong Rui yawned continuously, and after taking only two steps he fell on his sleeping bag and fell into a sleepy state.
Su Han held her cheek, unconsciously distracted. She was very strong, very strong, so strong that many people wanted to rush over to hug her thighs. But it was the first time that she was given special care, and it felt quite novel...
The author has something to say: All the information is checked

Q: How long have you been single?
Su Han (raised eyebrows): Are you asking me about my age?
Zhong Rui (Complaint): Even as a single, he is still a top player, impeccable in all aspects
