Ice Season: Day 38 at Sea
Yun Mianmian was very calm, "Too many people can easily lead to problems. We are not familiar with each other, let alone with people from other groups. It's just the beginning, don't rush."
Wen Yushi: "Yes, it's just the beginning, and we can't live here for a few days. No matter how good the shelter is, it will only add one-time points. It's better to save this time and add points in other places."
Du Changsong looked at Luo Ze, who lowered his head to eat and didn't say anything.
Seeing that no one was willing to accept his suggestion, Du Changsong stopped mentioning it.
After arriving at the deserted island, except for the regional chat, group chat and member positioning function on the panel, all other functions were locked.
When there was nothing to do, I could only open the regional chat to see if there was anything to say.
But those who started talking here were all weird people, and few people would pay attention. After
eating, Yun Mianmian suggested making two semi-enclosed stoves for the two shelters.
In this way, the temperature in the shelter will be higher, and it will not be so cold to sleep at night.
Although they have sleeping bags and blankets, they are not very useful. If you don’t warm yourself by the fire when sleeping in a temperature of minus ten or twenty degrees, you will easily get sick. It will be
much faster if several people work together.
Luo Ze dug the soil, Wen Yushi fetched water, Du Changsong dug sand, and Yun Mianmian used the firelight to mix these things evenly, and then made a semi-enclosed stove facing the inside of the wooden house, and made a chimney on it to exhaust the smoke.
In this way, the heat can be retained in the cabin, but the smoke will not be suffocating.
It was about ten o'clock when the two stoves were finished. They tried it and the effect was good, at least the cabin was warm.
It was getting late, but Yun Mianmian was not in a hurry to rest.
Because there was still a fish basket to be made.
Others did not plan to sleep either. Wen Yushi helped Yun Mianmian tear off the bark of the birch tree, and Luo Ze cut wood to make furniture.
When Luo Ze was on the boat, he opened a carpentry book and learned some carpentry knowledge, so even if he did not use a workbench, he could make some simple furniture and tools by himself.
He planned to make some wooden bowls, plates, chopsticks, and a table, so that everyone would have utensils to eat, and when the dishes were ready, they could be placed on the table. Otherwise, there were not enough containers, and it would be inconvenient to eat on the ground.
Du Changsong didn't know what to do, and he was a little bored, so he had to ask Yun Mianmian if he needed help.
Yun Mianmian thought for a while and said, "Make a drying rack. If there are extra fish in the future, you can smoke them and make smoked fish."
Du Changsong: "How do you make a drying rack?"
Yun Mianmian explained to him in detail how to do it. In fact, she could do it herself at this time, but she had to let Du Changsong get involved. She couldn't just let him do nothing if he didn't know how to do it.
There must not be people who are idle in the team, otherwise everyone will be unbalanced sooner or later, and then become dissatisfied with their teammates.
Du Changsong didn't seem to understand it very well after listening.
Yun Mianmian said, "You try it first."
Wen Yushi was of course much faster at tearing the bark than Yun Mianmian to make the fish basket. She joined Yun Mianmian as soon as she finished tearing the bark.
Yun Mianmian saw that Wen Yushi's hands were also very skillful, and suggested, "Tomorrow let's look for bamboo in the area to see if we can make a crab cage."
Wen Yushi: "Okay, okay, I feel that there are still a lot of crabs under the waterfall. Put a crab cage there, maybe there will be a harvest."
-After
making the fish basket, Yun Mianmian finally stopped.
She was really exhausted today. She looked at her hands and saw several cuts from the bark. Although the cuts were not deep and did not bleed, there were only a few bloodstains, but they looked quite pitiful.
Her fingers were originally thin and white, but since she came to the game, she had practiced and done physical work for a period of time, and many thin ropes appeared.
Yun Mianmian did not care, but felt that this was proof of her hard work to become stronger.
Lying in the sleeping bag, she could not sleep a bit, thinking about tomorrow's plan in her mind.
As a result, Wen Yushi couldn't sleep either, and whispered to her: "Mianmian, actually I always thought you were a lucky player, but after just one day with you today, I found out that you are not."
"Haha, is that so, but I am quite lucky." Yun Mianmian said with a smile.
Seeing her so generous, Wen Yushi also smiled, "Of course, otherwise you wouldn't be the first in our district."
She hesitated, "Has Nie Yangguang mentioned me to you? Actually, I know him."
Yun Mianmian's expression changed. Is he going to gossip with her?
Girls sleeping together will inevitably talk about some random things.
If they continue to chat, I guess they won't be able to sleep at night.
But Yun Mianmian was also quite curious, so she just wanted to help Nie Yangguang find out the reason for his failure.
"He mentioned it. He said he failed to pursue you."
Wen Yushi paused. She didn't expect Nie Yangguang to even mention this. It seems that he and Yun Mianmian have a really good relationship.
It's normal. Nie Yangguang and Yun Mianmian are friends and business partners. Almost the entire District 3 knows about this.
"He is a very kind person."
Yun Mianmian agreed, "Yes, he has a good personality and is quite interesting to talk to."
Wen Yushi: "That's right, but I always feel that he relies purely on luck. However, this is a survival game. I don't think a player who relies solely on luck can make it to the end."
Yun Mianmian: "That's what I said, but luck is really important."
Wen Yushi: "On the contrary, I admire players like Gu Fang more."
Yun Mianmian was speechless for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "I also admire his resilience."
"You see, Gu Fang is also very kind, and is as helpful as Nie Yangguang, but Gu Fang can help many people with his own experience and hard work, but Nie Yangguang is just lucky and can get a lot without any effort."
Yun Mianmian didn't know how to refute her, so she asked, "Then your luck value is not high?"
"It's okay, my luck value is 70."
Yun Mianmian: "It's not bad."
Yun Mianmian secretly complained: You have a high luck value, so you must have a lot of advantages. Why do you still complain about Nie Yangguang's high luck value?
Yun Mianmian remembered that Nie Yangguang told her that his luck value was 80.
A high luck value can help him turn danger into safety and solve many problems. This was destined when he entered the game.
"But I think hard work, strength and luck are the real strong ones."
Yun Mianmian: "You are right, but Gu Fang is definitely not."
He is so unlucky.
"But he can make up for it with his own efforts and strength, and his achievements are no less than those with higher luck, so this is why I admire him."
Yun Mianmian: "Okay."
"But after coming here, I found that you are the kind of person I envy the most. Didn't I just say that I thought you were just a lucky player, but I didn't expect that your ability is no worse than any male, and you are even better and harder than them."
Wen Yushi saw that although Yun Mianmian was the team leader, he didn't boss around at all. Instead, he did a lot of things himself, and at most left some physical work to Luo Ze.
But Luo Ze looked very strong, so it was understandable to let him do something.
On the contrary, Du Changsong, who looked strong, couldn't do much.
Yun Mianmian also knows a lot of things, such as fishing rods, fish baskets, and stoves, which she made herself.
If she is really a lucky player, then she must rely on the workbench, just like Nie Yangguang.
Although Wen Yushi has been praising her, Yun Mianmian does not agree with her 100%.
Maybe it's because of her good relationship with Nie Yangguang.
"If you don't like him, there's nothing we can do. We can't force it."
And Nie Yangguang is very open-minded and is not trapped by love.
Wen Yushi: "Yeah, before I came here, I told Gu Fang that we were in the same group, and he also thought you were a nice person."
Yun Mianmian: "Ah? Really?"
"Yes, didn't you sell medicine to him before? Another time when you came back from the deserted island to deliver food, you also drew him. He said that in any lottery that had a bit of probability, it had never been his turn. That was the first time, so he was very happy."
Yun Mianmian thought about it.
That time.
She chose him on purpose, after all, he was the second place, and it was definitely not a bad thing to have a good relationship with him.
I didn't expect that he really thought he was drawn randomly.
Let this beautiful misunderstanding continue.
Yun Mianmian laughed twice, "Is that so."
-
The next morning, Yun Mianmian quietly found a place to throw the dice.
Luck is ordinary, neither good nor bad.
Yun Mianmian simply cooked a pot of fish soup with only a few remaining wild vegetables in it. After cooking, there was not much left in everyone's hands.
Everyone dragged the fish meat with leaves, each person ate a piece of fish meat, and drank the fish soup. Although they were not full, that was all they could do.
Food was scarce at the beginning, so it would be nice to have some food.
Yun Mianmian decided to chop wood and bamboo to make rafts and crab pots first.
Bamboo can also be used to make cups. They don’t have anything to drink from yet, so it’s not convenient for everyone to drink from the same pot.
The sooner you make these things, the sooner they can be used.
So Yun Mianmian wanted to go early in the morning. She asked Luo Ze to go with her to a farther place to collect supplies, and then asked Wen Yushi to look for food and see if there was anything useful.
As for Du Changsong, Yun Mianmian gave him the task of cutting trees in the nearby woods and looking after the house.
Looking after the house is a very important thing.
If someone came to their shelter and set a fire, or directly destroyed the wooden house.
This would be a heavy blow to them.
Not to mention that if the shelter was damaged, the score would be reduced. To build a new one would definitely waste time and energy, and morale would also be affected.
So Du Changsong must take good care of the shelter here. This is what Yun Mianmian repeatedly told him.
Just when Yun Mianmian was about to set off.
The system has given us a task.
[The system has placed task cards in various areas on the island. Finding the task cards and completing the tasks will earn you extra points or welfare materials.]
Although it is called a task card, no one knows what it looks like. How can you find it on such a big island?
A small card, if hidden in the ground, in a lake, or even on a tree, is very difficult to find.
Yun Mianmian has no idea, but she has no idea, and neither does anyone else. Everyone starts from the same point, so there is no need to put too much pressure on them.
It's just a pity that her luck is average today. Maybe she can find one card, but it is definitely unlikely that she can find more than one.
She looked at the others, "Since there is a task card, everyone should pay more attention to it. If you find it, take a screenshot and post it to the group."
She thought of something and emphasized, "Don't post it to the wrong place."
The group chat and the regional chat are in the same place, so don't send it to the regional chat in excitement.
After giving the instructions, Yun Mianmian and Luo Ze set off.
Wen Yu Shi and they did not go in the same direction. Yun Mianmian and Luo Ze went to the mountain, and Wen Yu Shi went to the lake. There were more plants there. The mountain was full of shrubs and more trees.
Although birch trees are good, you can't just cut them down. Yun Mianmian mainly wanted to find light wood that could be used to make rafts this time.
The environment and temperature here are not suitable for most trees to grow. On the contrary, birch and pine trees, which are cold-resistant, can grow very well.
After crossing a mountain, Yunmianmian and Luoze finally found a tree suitable for making rafts - spruce.
The wood of this tree is very straight, light, soft, and elastic, which is very suitable for making rafts.
In addition, the wood of spruce, the roots and leaves can be used to extract oil, which is also suitable for burning. Yunmianmian took the whole piece back because it was not heavy. She and Luoze could carry three or five pieces each. She carried
three pieces, and Luoze carried five pieces. After eight pieces of wood were cut in half, it was more than enough to make a large raft.
It's normal that there is no trace of bamboo after searching for a long time. With this kind of terrain and environment, it is estimated that no bamboo can survive here.
Without bamboo, bamboo tubes cannot be made, but it doesn't matter. Use a thicker piece of wood, hollow out the middle, and use it as a water cup.
It's not a problem for her.
As for the crab cage, it can also be made with thinner branches or rattan.
Luo Ze is a good worker, just like what Yun Mianmian thought before she came. A
strong and hardworking physical player.
With him around, she saves herself a lot of trouble.
If everyone is like Du Changsong, she will have a headache.
"Sister Mianmian, are these woods enough?"
Yun Mianmian: "Enough, more than enough to make a raft."
Luo Ze asked: "Are you planning to cross the lake?"
Yun Mianmian explained: "No, I will put a fish basket in the middle of the lake and go fishing in the middle of the lake. There are usually small fish on the side, and you can catch big fish in deeper places."
Luo Ze: "I can go into the water to catch fish."
Yun Mianmian said in surprise: "Go into the water? It's so cold, are you sure?"
Luo Ze: "Well, I have been swimming in ice water since I was a child, and I have a good physique."
"That's too exaggerated." Yun Mianmian thought of when Luo Ze first came, Luo Luo told her about Luo Ze going into the sea. At that time, Yun Mianmian was still wearing a thick diving suit and was freezing, but Luo Ze went straight into the water.
It seems that he is really not afraid of the cold.
Luo Ze: "If necessary, I can try it. I can also spear fish."
Yun Mianmian: "Let's see, unless it is necessary, don't do it, what if you catch a cold."
Luo Ze: "It shouldn't be, maybe there is a mission card in the lake?"
Yun Mianmian glanced at him, and she thought of it.
The two walked all the way and looked carefully, but didn't see a single mission card.
This means that the mission card must be hard to find and is in a place that is not easy to find.
Such a place will subconsciously come to mind as a lake or a waterfall.
After all, no one would be willing to go into the water in such a cold weather.
But opportunities come with risks. If there is no water in the lake and Luo Ze catches a cold, it will be a loss.
Yun Mianmian still said, "Wait."
If she could go down by herself, she would go in, but she didn't dare to go in the water without equipment.
Luo Ze insisted, "I don't think it's a big deal. I've been in the water before in winter. The temperature during the day isn't that low. I'll go in the water and look for it. If I don't find it, I'll just get out and dry it with a blanket. If I can find the mission card first, I'll be ahead."
Yun Mianmian hesitated, "Let's go back and discuss it with everyone."
Seeing that Yun Mianmian was relieved, Luo Ze smiled, "Okay, I'll listen to Sister Mianmian."
-At
this time, there was new news in the group. It was just sent by Wen Yushi, "Mianmian, I found a steel pipe!"
She also attached a photo.
The steel pipe was rusty and was found in the soil by the lake. Wen Yushi pulled it out. It wasn't very long. I don't know what it was used for before, and how it appeared here.
Yun Mianmian: "Keep it for now, I'll need it when I get it back."
Wen Yushi: "Okay."
Luo Ze: "Are you going to use the iron pipe to make a harpoon?"
If you sharpen the tip, it will definitely be more useful than a wooden harpoon.
Yun Mianmian kept it a secret, "It can be used for other purposes before it's made into a harpoon."
She blinked, her lively eyes radiating light.
Luo Ze looked at Yun Mianmian, "Sister Mianmian, you know a lot."
Yun Mianmian: "Really? Actually, I didn't know much before, I learned it all after coming here."
Luo Ze: "Do you think this game is cruel?"
Yun Mianmian: "Actually, it's quite cruel. You're eliminated as soon as you're told to. It seems very easy to die here."
Luo Ze: "Isn't it the same in real society? People die every day, in all kinds of ways. But here, there are fewer ways to die. Some people have long predicted that the world will end, and now entering the game is just an early experience."
Do 18-year-old boys have such thoughts?
Yun Mianmian doesn't quite understand.
Luo Ze continued, "Sister Mian Mian must be the kind of person who gets luckier the harder she works."
Yun Mian Mian: "Everyone is like that. Hard work will definitely be useful."
Luo Ze: "Maybe."
I don't know if little boys are all easily sad.
Yun Mian Mian encouraged him, "Don't think too much. You have to work hard to protect your sister. Your sister has always protected you. Now it's your turn to stand up."
Luo Ze: "Yes, I will."
The two returned to the shelter.
At this time, the others had not returned yet, so Yun Mian Mian and Luo Ze had to put down their things first.
It was getting late, so Yun Mian Mian asked Luo Ze to stay here to make a raft and prepare to go fishing, otherwise there would be no lunch, and it seemed that Wen Yu Shi had not found any food.
If she could catch a few more fish and prepare enough food for the day, she could finish the raft in the afternoon and evening.
Luo Ze said, "Why don't I go with you? I'll see if I can catch any birds or other animals."
Yun Mianmian: "But..."
Luo Ze: "I'll go with you and take a look at the situation on the other side of the lake."
Luo Ze insisted on going, so Yun Mianmian sent a message to the others, asking them when they would be back.
To be honest, Yun Mianmian was very worried about the shelter being destroyed.
Especially knowing that the other groups were very close, she always had this concern in her heart.
Du Changsong: "It will take me a while. I cut down two trees and can't move them."
Wen Yushi: "I walked a long way and found some wild chicory. I will pick some more and bring them back. It will probably take half an hour."
She glanced at Du Changsong's position, which was not far away.
Yun Mianmian: "Okay, let's wait here for a while, we'll deal with these pieces of wood, and then we'll go after Du Changsong comes back."
Luo Ze: "I'd rather go pick him up than wait for him."
After saying that, he went directly in the direction of Du Changsong.
Yun Mianmian thought, it seems so.
Luo Ze went to pick them up and directly carried the two trees back.
Du Changsong's expression was very unnatural, as if he was a little embarrassed. He didn't do anything, but he was exhausted. His physical strength was indeed not as good as others.
Along the way, Du Changsong asked Luo Ze several times how much his physical strength was, but Luo Ze didn't tell him.
Back at the shelter, Du Changsong was curious about Yun Mianmian's physical strength again.
"Yun Mianmian, you are very strong, which is rare among girls."
Yun Mianmian: "Really? In fact, it is also trained, you can do it too."
Du Changsong was surprised, "Really?"
Yun Mianmian: "Yes, I had very low physical strength and little strength at the beginning."
She did not tell Du Changsong her own values. She would not tell such things unless she trusted someone.
Du Changsong sighed: "Is that so? That may also be because you have good luck."
Luo Ze: "If you are not born with it, you have to rely on acquired efforts. Acquired efforts have nothing to do with luck."
Du Changsong wiped the sweat off his face angrily and said nothing.
"Okay, Luo Ze and I are going to find food. When you come back, just stay here and look after the house. These woods are used to make rafts. Don't move. Just chop the wood you brought back into firewood."
Du Changsong: "Isn't there enough firewood?"
Yun Mianmian: "Chop some more. We'll need it tomorrow. I'm afraid it will rain. I don't think the weather will be so good all the time."
Du Changsong nodded, "Okay."
After Yun Mianmian and Luo Ze left, Du Changsong sat down to rest. However, after resting for a while, he saw Wen Yushi coming back, so he quickly stood up and picked up the axe to chop wood.
-On
the way to the lake, Yun Mianmian saw a Saker Falcon.
But this Saker Falcon was very high and circled in the air.
Yun Mianmian said casually: "This Saker Falcon is so beautiful, flying so high." The
Saker Falcon is very large, with gray-brown feathers. It belongs to the falcon family, also known as the white falcon. This bird can fly very fast and high. It is a large bird of prey. Not only is it very strong, its beak and claws are like iron hooks, not only hard but also very sharp.
If it flew a little lower, it probably found prey, because it is a carnivore.
Yun Mianmian had just finished speaking when the Saker Falcon seemed to see something and actually lowered its altitude and flew down. Yun Mianmian
frowned and was about to remind Luo Ze to be careful, but Luo Ze pulled the bow without hesitation, aimed at the Saker Falcon and shot an arrow.
Before Yun Mianmian could react, his arrow had already whizzed towards the Saker Falcon.
No way, it's so powerful.
Yun Mianmian was stunned. Has Luo Ze's archery skills reached this level?
If I'm not mistaken, his bow and arrow also seems to be a beginner's bow and arrow.
No, Yun Mianmian took a closer look and found that Luo Ze's bow and arrow were different from hers. They were improved.
The arrows seemed to be different too. There were beautiful feathers on the arrows, and deer antlers were used on the bow.
It seemed that Luo Ze had strengthened his equipment before.
The arrow flew into the sky and actually hit the Saker Falcon.
However, the Saker Falcon fell down, not near the two of them, but in the woods far away.
Yun Mianmian's expression changed. It seemed that this was the location of the other group of people. The smoke from the cooking stove that he saw last time came from there.
