Compared to the desolation outside, the village is much more lively.
You wouldn't notice it from the outside, but once you enter the village, you'll find that there are actually several teams here.
Even the smallest team has seven or eight people.
A team of six like theirs is considered small.
When Lin Xue and her group walked in, there was a large group of more than a dozen people who, seeing that they were outnumbered, tried to extort money from them.
Lin Xue nearly sliced off half of his arm with a cleaver, scaring the survivors nearby into retreating.
The man who had led the provocation glanced at the torn clothes on his arm.
While feeling angry, I was also a little nervous.
This woman is ruthless, especially since she has iron weapons.
On this wasteland planet, survivors can acquire powerful weapons, which can enhance their ability to protect themselves.
I originally thought Lin Xue was thin and weak, and that she didn't have much strength.
Little did I expect that the moment we made contact, I almost lost an arm.
If he hadn't retreated quickly, he probably wouldn't have lived long without his arm.
"I, Black Bear, misjudged you all today. We apologize for any offense caused and will be leaving now!"
It seems this person has a significant role in the team. After the defeat, he didn't linger, but apologized to the others and quickly left with his teammates.
"Sister Xue, you're amazing!"
"If it weren't for you today, if we had rushed in recklessly, we would definitely have been robbed!"
If it weren't for Lin Xue, they wouldn't have been able to get into the village at all; they would probably have been robbed of everything at the entrance.
The survivors on the wasteland are both ruthless and cowardly!
"Everyone, hurry up and look for a water source!"
"Once we find a water source, we'll leave this place tonight; we can't stay any longer!"
Black Bear and the others hadn't completely left the village yet; instead, they found a house on the edge of the village as a temporary refuge from the high temperatures.
Even if we were to leave, we would have to wait until evening.
Although there are many houses in the village, very few are intact.
The larger houses were all occupied by the earlier survivors.
There were only a few courtyards with wells, and Ellie felt that they had no hope of finding a water source, so Lin Xue took a kitchen knife and searched each courtyard one by one.
When the survivors saw Lin Xue barging in with a kitchen knife, looking fierce, none of them dared to approach her.
They all stood far away from her until they saw Lin Xue leave after inspecting the well, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh my god, that woman was terrifying. Just now, her eyes looked like she was about to rush up and chop me up."
After Lin Xue left, the survivors patted their chests, revealing lingering fear.
They quickly closed the courtyard gate and then blocked it with something.
In fact, the gates of these courtyards were already dilapidated, but as long as the fragile gates were closed, everyone could feel a little safe.
This is psychological comfort.
"How was it?" As soon as they came out of the last courtyard with a well, Yu Yang and the others immediately surrounded them and asked.
"No!"
Lin Xue shook her head, somewhat disappointed.
Surprisingly, there wasn't a single drop of water in this village.
"Sigh, let's find a house to stay in first. If there's no water here, we'll have to keep going north. There's a canyon there."
"There used to be an underground river when I came here before, I wonder what it's like now?"
People didn't seem too disappointed about not finding a water source; instead, they quickly found a house that could block out the sun and went inside.
The temperature is getting higher and higher, even though there are many tall buildings in the village that can provide shade.
But it still couldn't stop the sweltering heat.
"Sister, I have half a fruit here, would you like some?"
Ai Qing held up half a fruit and asked Ellie.
His sister didn't seem to be in good spirits all day; she still looked tired and haggard.
"I don't want to eat. Can you keep an eye on it for me? I want to sleep for a while!"
Ellie shook her head and didn't take the half fruit. Instead, she told her younger brother to keep an eye on it for her, then found a place to lie down and sleep.
Lin Xue could smell a faint scent of blood in the air and roughly guessed what had happened.
A sense of worry suddenly crept into my heart.
This wasteland planet is extremely unfriendly to humans, especially to women.
Without any sanitary products, whenever a woman had her period, she could only wrap a cloth around soil to absorb the fluid.
These soils were all sourced from outside and compacted; they were all sterilized by high temperatures, so there weren't many germs.
But it's really uncomfortable to have it under your body, and it's inconvenient to change it.
Coupled with the lack of water, the female survivors could only endure it with the mindset that "a little dirt won't hurt" and try to adapt.
Lin Xue had countless supplies in her space, and she wanted to give the other person some brown sugar water to help them recover, since he was the captain of her team.
Ellie is usually very friendly to all her teammates and is relatively fair in her dealings with them.
Unfortunately, I can't take out any of the brown sugar water from my space, and I haven't been able to access my space recently.
She suddenly felt a little worried for herself, remembering that the original owner's package also contained such a thing.
There was even a small bag of finely ground soil. Fortunately, the original owner's period had just ended, so she didn't have to endure this indescribable torment for the time being.
"for you!"
Lin Xue took one of her own fruits and handed it to Ellie, who was lying down with her eyes closed, to rest.
"No need, thank you!"
Ellie swallowed hard but didn't take it; she didn't want to take advantage of her teammate.
"Eat up, you'll have even less energy like this!"
"At worst, you can pay me back when supplies are plentiful later!"
Lin Xue stuffed the fruit into the other person's arms, then walked to the side, took out her small blanket and spread it under herself, and began to close her eyes to rest.
"You all go to sleep. Yao Yao and I will guard the gate today. We'll relieve whoever wakes up first!"
Seeing that his teammates were exhausted but dared not sleep, Yu Yang volunteered to take on the task of guarding the goal.
He still had things to say to Yao Yao, so he decided to keep watch over the gate for a while.
He told his teammates to go to sleep first, and then he would go to sleep with his girlfriend after they had fallen asleep.
"Okay, wake us up immediately if there's any noise!"
Ellie gave a tired-sounding instruction, then hugged the fruit and fell asleep peacefully.
God knows they really don't have many supplies left, especially food.
With this fruit, at least she and her brother could survive for another day.
Because I haven't been feeling well these past two days, my ability to find supplies is much lower than usual.
Perhaps she was too tired, Ellie fell asleep quickly.
Lin Xue also gave 629 some instructions, and then went to sleep with him.
The others gradually fell asleep, leaving only Yu Yang and Yao Yao talking quietly.
At this time, no one would actually go out and cause trouble for others.
Because the outside temperature is too high, let alone whether you can cause trouble for others, it is difficult to even find another house to take shelter in.
