Chapter 249 Teamwork Makes the Work Easier



Before long, the wild boar, wild goat, and sika deer had all been fed, and Guo Yan had also prepared breakfast and brought it over.

"Chen Fan, hurry up and have breakfast with Fei Fei! This is all the mutton we didn't finish last night, and I also made some pancakes." After bringing the breakfast into the shelter, Guo Yan said to Chen Fan and Liu Fei with a smile.

In any case, it was Chen Fan and Liu Feifei who took in Zhao Xiaodao and me this time. If it weren't for them, we probably would have been eliminated long ago.

Perhaps elimination isn't so terrible for Xiaodao, since celebrities like them don't lack money at all, but it's completely different for her...

If I can survive for another three months, the amount of bonus I will receive will be incomparable to that of surviving for two or three months.

This sum of money is an astronomical figure for any ordinary person, enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Yan!" Chen Fan smiled and quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Hehe!! Keeping Xiaodao and Sister Yan here was really the right decision. Although there are a few more people eating, it's become more lively, and you don't have to be so busy." Liu Feifei said with a smile.

If it weren't for Guo Yan and Zhao Xiaodao today, all the chores that needed to be done this morning would definitely have been done by the two of them.

Making breakfast would inevitably fall to Chen Fan, so their sudden appearance was clearly not a bad thing for Chen Fan and Liu Feifei.

“Yes, yes, you’re right. And for us, having two more mouths to feed doesn’t really matter. Even if there are a few more mouths to feed, I can still satisfy them.” Chen Fan quickly nodded and said.

He has absolute confidence in his ability to survive, and he has many ways to hunt animals and obtain food. In fact, what he fears most is doing these daily chores, which not only waste time, but also become extremely boring after a while...

The two then got up and returned to the shelter.

Although Zhang Xiaotong and Liu Feifei often joke with Chen Fan, they still maintain absolute respect for him.

After all, the reason they were able to survive so well was entirely due to Chen Fan's wilderness survival skills.

"Chen Fan, hurry up and eat! After you finish eating, tell us what we're going to do today."

Zhang Xiaotong handed a piece of mutton to Chen Fan, then asked with a smile.

Since the number of people increased, the atmosphere of the whole team has been completely different. Now, no one wants to rest much; they just want the team to survive better.

“Okay! I’ll plan what we need to do today after we finish eating.” Chen Fan nodded immediately.

The group ate a simple breakfast.

After finishing the meal, Chen Fan immediately began assigning tasks.

"Which of you knows how to build a kiln for firing bricks and tiles? Oh, and how much do you know about charcoal making?"

Chen Fan looked at the four girls and asked.

The most important task next is to build the brick house, so that we won't have to worry about the temperature dropping.

After hearing Chen Fan's question, the four girls looked at each other, then awkwardly turned their gazes to Chen Fan.

Clearly, they knew very little about making earthen kilns and firing charcoal.

Even Zhao Xiaodao and Guo Yan, who grew up in the countryside, had little experience in this area.

"Uh... okay! It seems that building a brick house isn't that simple." Seeing the bewildered expressions on the four girls' faces, Chen Fan could only shake his head helplessly.

"Chen Fan, just tell us what we should do, okay? As long as you tell us how, we'll definitely be able to accomplish it," Zhao Xiaodao quickly said.

Although they don't know how to make earthen kilns or fire charcoal, they will definitely be able to make them if Chen Fan tells them the methods.

She was never afraid of hardship...

"Alright! Then I'll leave the making of the earthen kiln to you, Xiaodao. I'll draw you a simple blueprint later for reference. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

After speaking to Zhao Xiaodao, Chen Fan immediately turned his gaze to Guo Yan and Zhang Xiaotong.

Then he continued seriously, "Sister Yan, you and Sister Xiaotong will come with me to find some high-quality clay. We'll be using this clay to make adobe bricks. We'll need a lot of it, so you might have to work a bit harder during this time."

Based on his previous assessment, he estimated that around 10,000 bricks would be needed to build two brick houses.

This is a very large number for any survivor, especially for the two girls, it is not an easy task.

Fortunately, they had plenty of time. Even if they could only produce a few hundred pieces a day, they could finish in a few dozen days...

Anyway, there's still a long time before the survival show ends, so there's no particular rush.

“Alright! Leave these things to us. We’re not afraid of hard work at all.” Guo Yan and Zhang Xiaotong nodded quickly.

If you want to survive in the wilderness, then hardship is definitely something you have to go through.

"Well, Feifei and I are tasked with collecting some rafters and main beams from the surrounding area. We'll come back to help you once we've collected enough."

Chen Fan quickly formulated the main work goals and directions for the group.

Zhao Xiaodao was in charge of building the kiln and making charcoal, while Chen Fan and Liu Feifei were responsible for finding rafters, main beams, and firewood.

As for Zhang Xiaotong and Guo Yan's work, it should be the most troublesome and physically demanding. First, they need to find some high-quality clay, then turn the clay into mud, make brick blanks, and wait for them to be fired...

After arranging the work, we immediately began to take action.

Not far from the shelter, there is a small earthen mound only one or two meters high, and below the mound is some high-quality red clay.

The quality of this clay is probably unsuitable for making pottery, and it is far inferior to that of termite nests.

However, it's more than enough for firing bricks and tiles...

"Alright, your task now is to keep moving this clay towards the shelter. Take a break when you're tired, but the more the better..."

Chen Fan handed the two baskets to Zhang Xiaotong and Guo Yan, and then said.

"Uh... okay!!"

Looking at the small slope in front of them, the two fell into deep thought.

I originally thought this would be a relatively simple task, but looking at this small mound, I suddenly felt it would be quite difficult to complete.

However, since Chen Fan has already spoken, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and do it...
