Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 175: Leaping Into the Camp

(This Chapter is Chapter 175: Leaping into the Camp. There was an update error today, please forgive us.)

This secret, she cannot reveal it.

Once revealed, it will cause societal unrest, even lead to riots in many places. It would destroy the current stable life, throwing ordinary people into chaos, potentially causing harm.

If no one can successfully challenge it, it would undoubtedly be the end of humanity.

At that point, extremely dire events will occur, nobody knows exactly what. No country would dare to inform the public about such a matter.

Therefore, no one dares to speak out this secret.

Every country has people like Lu Yao, selected through rigorous screening, guaranteed not to leak the secret, to be informed of this matter.

"Let’s try our best, that’s all we can do." Lu Yao knows well that sometimes it’s not about effort, but about having limitations in one’s own strength.

Recently, Wang Jin’s performance had been noted, very satisfactory.

She had exceeded Lu Yao’s expectations by far, much more effort put forth.

If she truly failed, she couldn’t blame anyone, nor would anyone blame her.

"Sis, this snake meat is really delicious, let’s catch a few more next time." Wang Jin changed the subject.

"Alright, if we come across any, we won’t let them go." Lu Yao smiled slightly, then bowed her head to continue eating snake meat.

All the spectators fell silent; they had not expected the secret Lu Yao revealed to be like this.

No one spoke, seemingly in silent mourning.

In Xu Yi’s camp, with two bonfires, neither of them felt cold anymore.

"Xu Yi, should we process the animal hides into clothing now? It feels like this weather will continue." Lu Yao flattened a piece of paper, then glanced back at Xu Yi, who was stripping hemp fibers.

"Alright, anyway at this rate, snowfall wouldn’t be surprising. We do need warm winter clothes. Paper can wait for daylight tomorrow." Xu Yi said, looking outside, he had just placed some velvet grass into the rabbit and chicken cages, worried they might freeze.

"It’s not below freezing yet, but we’re already struggling. What will happen when it goes below zero?" Lu Ke felt the cold here was far scarier than at home, a bit unbearable. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"That’s because our bodies haven’t adjusted yet, given that daytime temperatures were still around thirty-five to thirty-six degrees, dropping to just one or two at night. Once our bodies adapt, we’ll naturally handle it better." Xu Yi explained, with a bonfire, it wasn’t cold at all. If they wore clothes sewn from fur, they wouldn’t feel cold.

In their own world, it gradually gets colder, bodies adapt progressively, and clothes are added accordingly. Here, just one night and day, how could one adapt so quickly?

Xu Yi speculates that many snakes on the island will freeze outside.

Lu Ke heard Xu Yi’s explanation and couldn’t help but nod, feeling it made a lot of sense.

Thus, she returned to the room and took out all the furs.

"Make one for yourself first, I’m not that afraid of cold." Xu Yi said to Lu Ke, worried she’d make one for herself first.

"Okay, got it." Lu Ke replied, then laid the fur on the table, after all, it needed to be cut before being sewn.

Cutting, sewing, Lu Ke worked until after midnight before finally finishing a coat, pants would need another day.

"How’s it, fits well?" Lu Ke donned the jacket and spun around in front of Xu Yi.

"Very stylish, your hands are truly skillful. Might be, once back, many people will seek custom clothes from you." Xu Yi said with a smile, truly admiring Lu Ke’s craftsmanship, the sewn clothing was very fashionable.

"The main thing is these furs are nice-looking, hehe." Lu Ke laughed happily.

"Alright, hurry and get some sleep. The later it gets, the colder it becomes. I’ve made a bonfire inside as well." While Lu Ke was sewing clothes, Xu Yi dug a pit inside and made a bonfire.

It’s so cold, just using charcoal isn’t warm enough anymore.

Now, he regrets not plastering the walls with a layer of mud, not creating a heated platform.

That way, on cold nights like this, the room would stay warm.

"Then I’m off to bed, come join me soon." Lu Ke said unceremoniously, having been together for forty days now, being polite felt too distant.

Though some were cut away, there was still fur left for covering.

Lu Ke plans, once there’s enough fur, she’ll sew a large blanket. That way, even if it snows heavily, with temperatures dropping below minus ten, they wouldn’t worry about freezing.

After Lu Ke lay down, Xu Yi also went to sleep soon after.

The blankets were still warm; Xu Yi fell asleep quickly after lying down.

Shortly after daylight, Lu Ke woke up.

Stretching her hand out from the blankets, she felt a chill, prompting her to pull her hand back.

No doubt, it was very cold outside.

Hence, she was reluctant to get up.

She wanted to wait and see if the sun would rise high like yesterday.

After ten minutes, Xu Yi also opened his eyes.

"You’re awake?" Lu Ke had been watching Xu Yi, her face turned red as she noticed his eyes open.

"Yeah, it’s probably nearing seven, I wonder what the outside temperature is." Xu Yi said, sitting up directly.

The chill enveloped him immediately.

Already up, Xu Yi didn’t want to crawl back into the blankets.

"Are you feeling unwell today?" Xu Yi asked after getting out of bed, thinking maybe it was that time for Lu Ke.

"No... it hasn’t come yet." Lu Ke instantly understood Xu Yi’s meaning, her face turned even redder.

"But it should be soon, maybe within these days." Lu Ke previously had an unhealthy body, so it wasn’t quite predictable, not sure if it would come on time now.

"Now we have paper, much more convenient." Xu Yi said and went to open the door.

Outside, colder still.

A layer of frost had formed on the trees around the camp.

The sun had already risen.

Shining on the face, it gave a scorching feeling.

"Damn weird weather." Xu Yi cursed, then went to fetch water to boil.

Then, Xu Yi performed a few rounds of the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening, warming himself up.

The sunlight grew more intense, seemingly roasting the earth.

"Xu Yi, still the same as yesterday?" Lu Ke asked, not wearing fur out because she heard Xu Yi’s remarks.

"Yeah, the sun is quite fierce, the temperature will likely reach thirty-something soon." Xu Yi said, heading to the earthen stove to pack up the boiled water.

Just then, a cry suddenly echoed.

Lu Ke immediately grabbed the Hunting Bow to toss it to Xu Yi, and held up her own crossbow.

The sound was very close, likely near the camp.

Then, a shadow suddenly leaped in.
