"This thing can even make calls, that's amazing," Ye Zi said, giving a thumbs-up.
"Sometimes we need to notify the contestants of important things, so this function is included," the drone's voice came again.
"For example?" Ye Zi asked, stuffing a handful of berries into her mouth.
"We will notify you when we welcome our teammates or when there are unforeseen dangers in the surrounding area."
Ye Zi nodded.
It got dark quickly, and the water in the pot boiled. Yezi wanted to drink it, but it was too hot, so she could only wait for it to cool down naturally.
At this moment, another drone flew in from the sky, following Ye Zi's drone as it turned around and flew away. Well, it's time for the drone to take over.
Living alone is boring, but fortunately Yezi is used to it. She pulled her windbreaker tighter, laid a thick layer of leaves under herself, and prepared to rest.
I thanked the system for its hard work, closed my eyes, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
And so began the first night in the wilderness.
In the middle of the night, Ye Zi, who had been awakened by the cold, added firewood to the fire. Once the fire was burning, she quickly went back to sleep.
As dawn approached, Ye Zi was woken up by the cold once. This time, she was wide awake and added firewood to the fire, then heated up the water that had been boiled the night before.
Once the view was clear, Ye Zi got up, told the drone she was going to the bathroom, and then the drone changed its shooting direction.
Ye Zi took the opportunity to take out a Thousand-Pound Pill and swallow it, then relieved herself.
He returned to the campfire, picked up his pickaxe and entrenching tool, and headed towards the small hill.
It was so cold last night that I woke up twice from the cold. It's so hard to survive in this place without shelter.
So Yezi's plan is to build a shelter first, a semi-shelter shelter.
The advantage of such shelters is that they can utilize the thickness of the mountain to provide insulation and are also more sturdy.
It definitely can't be finished in one day, but digging the pit shouldn't be a problem. Once the pit is dug, we can just put up a simple roof at night and rest there. At least it will keep out the wind and we won't be so easily woken up by the cold.
After drawing a space of about twenty square meters, Ye Zi started working, and the medicinal effects of the Thousand-Pound Pill began to take effect. Although she didn't practice the mace technique as the system instructed, digging a pit was still a form of training.
Her body seemed to have inexhaustible strength, which made Ye Zi dig the hole much faster, and she no longer experienced the shortness of breath she had yesterday.
After digging for a while, the system's voice suddenly sounded in Ye Zi's mind:
"Host, you should dig a reservoir first, otherwise you won't be able to take a bath when your body is expelling impurities."
"Um?"
Ye Zi was stunned for a moment. It was true. She was only thinking about protecting herself from the wind at night. She thought that taking the Qianjun Pill would make her body expel impurities and she would need to take a bath.
Pick up your pickaxe and entrenching tool and start digging a hole not far from the spring.
This is where the advantage of having a pickaxe becomes apparent; if you only have an entrenching tool, the amount of strength required will increase exponentially.
The water tank doesn't need to be too big; two square meters is enough, and the depth should be less than one meter. The main purpose is to make it convenient to scoop water when taking a shower.
Later, the two large trees and the boulder were moved away, so that water could be scooped directly from the spring.
After the reservoir is dug, there's no need to compact it. The water will still cause the soil to collapse once it flows in, so there's no need to do anything unnecessary.
The next step is to redirect the water flowing from the spring into the reservoir. We also need to dig a drainage ditch at the other end of the reservoir, but that's easy; just a few digs with a pickaxe will do.
After all that was done, the number of viewers in the live stream increased. The hosts of the sixth live stream were the same three as yesterday: Bingbing, Soldier King Zhuangyan, and Sparrow Sister.
Ye Zi returned to the shelter carrying a pickaxe and entrenching tool. After seeing Ye Zi's condition, the elite soldier Zhuang Yan's eyes lit up and he said:
"A semi-bunker shelter, not bad, Ye Zi has a great idea."
Bingbing, acting as the straight man, immediately asked:
What is a semi-bunker shelter?
The King of Soldiers solemnly continued:
"The shelters we commonly see are mostly A-shaped structures. The advantage of this type of shelter is that it is simple to build and takes little time."
The downside is that they have little defensive capability and are generally used as temporary shelters.
A semi-bunker, as the name suggests, is similar to a forward command post used in warfare, except that a combat bunker has only one observation opening above ground, while the rest is underground. The doors are on both sides of the bunker, connecting to the trenches.
The door to the semi-bunker shelter was at the front, and a large portion of it, almost half of it, was protruding above ground.
Zhuang Yan explained that most people who have watched films about the War of Resistance Against Japan have a clear picture in their minds and understand the safety of such shelters.
After fast-forwarding through last night's replay, Sister Sparrow laughed:
"Ye Zi was woken up twice by the cold last night. After being woken up by the cold the second time, she didn't sleep. She started to take action after dawn."
Bingbing also looked at the live stream. In the video, Yezi's head was steaming as he was digging in the soil.
"It seems that Ye Zi had planned ahead when choosing her tools, otherwise she wouldn't have brought a pickaxe."
“That’s right. I didn’t expect him to build this kind of shelter at first. It seems he was indeed prepared in advance.” Zhuang Yan smiled slightly.
"Let's take a look at the other contestants' situation." After saying that, Bingbing switched the live stream to Live Stream Number One, where Wu Jing had already gotten up.
Wu Jing's habitat was much better than Ye Zi's. The temperature was moderate. On the first day of his survival, after arriving at his habitat, Wu Jing not only built a simple shelter and lit a fire, but also found a water source and shot a pheasant with a bow and arrow.
I had a delicious meal tonight and rested well. The first thing I did this morning was to improve my living environment.
Wu Jing is a public figure and is very good at interacting with the audience in the live broadcast room. Although the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room cannot be seen, he explains the survival knowledge in a very reasonable way.
Actually, he participated in this program purely to take advantage of a loophole. Veterans with military experience are not allowed to participate, but his military experience was only used to learn some essential tactical moves for the movie.
Although he learned a lot during actual training, no military unit recognized that Wu Jing had served with them. So he participated in this program as a public figure.
China has already followed the rules. South Korea spent five million US dollars on registration fees, and the two male contestants they arranged were both veterans. After all, all eligible men in that country have to serve in the military, and the only female contestant was also a veteran.
That's really shameless, but they paid for it, and everyone's gotten used to their shamelessness.
Wu Jing has a strong ability to survive in the wild. As long as his teammates don't hold him back, he can definitely last a long time. This is a well-known fact.
Not only are the skills comprehensive, but the survival location drawn is also very suitable for early development. Most importantly, not long after arriving at the survival location, a clean and stable water source was found.
All these factors combined make it no exaggeration to call it an explosion of good fortune.
