Seeing this, Gu Mian didn't waste any words, directly drew her short sword and twirled it in her hand.
The other side didn't expect Gu Mian and her group to be so tough. Even though there were only two of them, they dared to pull out their weapons and attack.
For a moment, they found themselves in a difficult predicament.
Their goal was just those few grilled fish, but they couldn't really risk their lives for a few grilled fish, could they?
"Brother, may I ask where you caught your fish?" the girl in the group suddenly asked.
Xu Kun glanced at her. Was she going to back out again?
“In the lake,” he said succinctly.
Girl: "Where is the lake?"
Xu Kun: "It's in my hands."
The girl paused for a moment, then her eyes slowly reddened.
Gu Mian: ...
Seriously? You're so fragile, yet you dare to rob someone?
"What happened?"
Just as things were inexplicably at a standstill, Jiang Bai emerged from behind the cave carrying two rabbits.
Xu Kun: "These people are trying to steal my fish."
When Jiang Bai came out, the four men had completely given up on the idea of robbing him.
If they had actually fought before, they would have had a greater chance of winning due to their larger numbers.
But now that the other side has one more person, there's no need to fight. Like I said, we can't really risk our lives for a few fish.
Besides, they weren't without food in their backpacks.
"It's a misunderstanding. We just wanted to ask where you caught the fish." The tall man forced a friendly smile.
"Oh?" Jiang Bai glanced at the fist-shaped dagger in his hand, remaining noncommittal.
"If you don't want to talk, that's fine. We won't keep you from continuing to grill fish." The man said, leading the others to slowly back away and leave.
Jiang Bai glanced at Xu Kun: "Do you want to stay?"
Xu Kun pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Gu Mian: "Little sister, do you think we should keep them here?"
Gu Mian looked at him in confusion. Wasn't Jiang Bai asking about you?
Why did you suddenly call on me?
"Why are you staying? Are you going to treat them to dinner?"
Xu Kun laughed and said, "Alright, since my sister has said so, let's let them go for now."
Gu Mian: ...
You seem a bit silly.
...
No one knew that Xu Kun and Jiang Bai had truly intended to kill each other just now.
After the four who had escaped the calamity walked out of the woods, one of the thin men muttered somewhat reluctantly, "Brother Tian, why are we leaving?"
"Are the four of us really no match for the three of them?"
The tall man named Qin Tian glared at him upon hearing this: "If you're so capable, why didn't you make a move earlier? You only dare to complain after you've gone far away."
"I'm not complaining," the thin man said, looking embarrassed.
"Stop arguing with Brother Tian." The girl tugged at the skinny man's sleeve.
The thin man moved his lips, but in the end, he said nothing.
...
The grilled fish was already delicious yesterday without any seasoning, but it tasted even better today with the addition of salt.
The three of them devoured the five grilled fish in the blink of an eye.
"What are the plans for today?" Xu Kun rubbed his stomach, feeling like he hadn't eaten enough.
Gu Mian shook her head: "Being at the bottom of the standings in this competition won't turn me into a pollutant, so I'm planning to tank."
"Give up?" Xu Kun looked at her in surprise.
Gu Mian: "Yeah, I'll just treat it as a vacation."
"It's not necessarily a bad thing." Xu Kun stroked his chin thoughtfully. "It's rare that there are no penalties in this competition. It would be nice to experience real wilderness survival."
Jiang Bai: "If you're not planning to rack up points, you'll need to hunt more prey to store up food, otherwise you'll have trouble getting enough to eat every day."
Xu Kun: "That's true. We can also look for more mission cards. Not to mention anything else, completing missions can summon airdrops and provide some supplies."
In just a few words, the two of them roughly determined what they needed to do over the next month.
Gu Mian didn't express any opinion throughout. She genuinely wanted to concede defeat. There was no penalty for finishing last in the competition, so there was absolutely no need for her to work herself to the bone to rack up points.
Isn't it great to eat and drink every day?
She doesn't need that little bit of reward.
...
After nine o'clock, the outside temperature continued to rise.
Gu Mian then hid in the cave again. The bottle of mineral water left over from yesterday was still on the box, but two packs of spicy strips were missing.
This bottle of water was originally meant for Xu Kun and Jiang Bai, but it's still here. I guess they have water to drink.
Thinking this, Gu Mian unscrewed the bottle cap.
Xu Kun and the others went hunting, leaving her alone in the cave. After a while, she started to get a little bored.
Gu Mian took out two bronze boxes from her backpack and decided to open them to pass the time.
Open the bronze chest and obtain:
[Dry ice spray *3]
[Mineral water * 4]
[Sunscreen spray *3]
The above supplies will be doubled.
Dry ice spray: It can quickly condense water into ice, making it a cooling marvel.
Note: Dry ice spray only works on clean water (one bottle provides 10 sprays).
[Sunscreen spray: Prevents sunburn for up to 1 hour (one bottle provides 10 sprays).]
After reading the product description, Gu Mian smiled, her eyes crinkling.
The items that came out this time are pretty good!
Dry ice spray, in particular, isn't that exactly what she needs right now!
However, dry ice spray can only be used on clean water, and the water in the pool should meet the standards, right?
Disassemble one bronze box to save space in the cave.
Gu Mian planned to use the remaining one to hold water, freeze it into ice, and cool the cave.
