Back at the wooden cabin, they luxuriously opened two cans. They had plenty of food and water now.
Since arriving at the shelter, they had been boiling water during their free time to filter it, then letting it cool before storing it in empty bottles.
Although the game space couldn’t hold living things, anything else put inside remained the same when taken out, so they didn’t have to worry about the water going bad.
After eating, they applied the blood-congealing tree sap they had collected to their short knives.
Ye Nianchu had considered making simple bows and arrows from the wood in the rainforest but quickly dismissed the idea.
While bows could work for hunting, they wouldn’t be effective against experienced players. It took too long to make and aim, and by that time, the enemy could rush them.
Weapons were a big problem.
With more players, they’d be overwhelmed in a battle.
The rainforest was crawling with face spiders, so leaving the shelter wasn’t wise.
“I’m starting to doubt if there are any firearms in this game,” Ye Nianchu said, fiddling with the poisoned knife.
Whether from the starting supplies or later supply boxes, she hadn’t seen any weapons.
Only weaker players had received a short knife due to the balance mechanism.
The signs pointed out that the contents of the five supply boxes were different.
They had opened two: one was a boss item, and the other had very few supplies.
She might have opened the worst supply boxes in survival game history, which was hard to believe—how could these be called supply boxes?
She suspected it wasn’t just bad luck but a direct targeting.
Days earlier, when searching for water, they had walked a long way and found almost nothing, just a few sour fruits that barely counted as supplies.
“I think there will be,” Qin Mubai said, his long eyelashes fluttering as he looked up with a smile.
“Two of the remaining three supply boxes are not far from Shelter 1. There are still over forty players in the game, and at least two teams are lurking nearby, nearly half of them.
So, I suspect the players at Shelter 1 have good gear and might have guns. They just need to hunt face spiders and other players around the shelter to earn points and win.
Even if they don’t get ranked, they won’t lose anything.”
It was a very safe strategy.
In the rainforest, where dangers lurked everywhere, it was much better to set up a rotation around the safe shelter and earn points than to struggle outside.
With that in mind, their equipment should be good enough. They didn’t worry about others taking over the shelter while they hunted face spiders.
But with only the two of them and no firearms, they couldn’t play that way.
Ye Nianchu looked out at the shadowy rainforest and sighed, “The points for those players will start to skyrocket soon.”
Once they eliminated all the players who wanted to target them, their points would also increase.
However, even if they were strong, stopping ten times as many enemies wouldn’t be easy, especially since Ye Nianchu wasn’t particularly strong.
The pressure of unlocking was still on her.
“Do you trust me, sister?” Qin Mubai asked, lowering his gaze.
Ye Nianchu looked at his handsome face and answered without hesitation, “Of course.”
Qin Mubai smiled lightly, seeming in a good mood. “Let’s wait until tomorrow. If things look bad, we’ll leave here.”
“You mean to destroy this shelter?”
Ye Nianchu knew he wouldn’t just give up the shelter; that wasn’t his style.
