Holding the Engineer Shovel, Lu Ke ca to the front of the earthen kiln.
She moved aside the clay board and then shoveled out the charcoal from inside.
Only after thoroughly cleaning it out can they begin firing the pottery.
Now, she felt that ti was in short supply, so she needed to arrange things for herself.
It’s not very convenient to sew clothes by firelight at night; the brightness is insufficient. So, nightti could be used for pottery making — crafting the clay body and letting it dry before firing.
During the day, she could make clothes — there’s no rush to sew underwear; she could make her coat and pants first.
As Lu Ke was clearing out the charcoal from the kiln, Xu Yi was working on making the arrow feathers.
"How’s it going? Is the kiln alright?" Xu Yi expressed concern as this kiln had taken up a lot of Lu Ke’s ti and effort.
"No issues for now, but we’ll really know when we start firing the pottery." Lu Ke responded, not especially confident, as it was her first attempt.
"Well, even if it fails, it’s okay," Xu Yi said while attaching feathers to the end of an arrow, trying to psychologically prepare Lu Ke to avoid her feeling too down if it really fails.
"Don’t worry, I won’t break down that easily, it’s just the first try," Lu Ke smiled, understanding why Xu Yi said that.
Xu Yi touched his nose and said no more.
...
"Cough, cough, cough."
Beside a campfire, two girls gathered around the flas.
It was clear that the girl who was coughing badly was coming down with a cold.
"Sister Fen, let’s quit. You’re already this sick, are you still going to persist?" The other girl, who seed to be in better condition, advised.
"I, I’m okay, drinking more hot water will help. Liu Li, we agreed to hold on for a hundred days before leaving," Ye Xiaofen glanced at her companion. She and Liu Li had grown up in the mountains, which was why they dared to sign up for this wilderness survival.
They appeared at the junction of a grassy beach and forest, finding a water source on the first day and starting to build their camp.
As for food, they didn’t have to try very hard.
Because there were many field mice in the grasslands, setting a few small traps could catch them.
One could say they were one of the luckier teams, facing almost no difficulties.
"But it’s already been 4 days, and I’m afraid you won’t last. A hundred days isn’t easy to persist through, and we don’t have any weapons. Plus, you ntioned signs of leopards in the forest. If we quit now, we each get 100,000; I think that’s enough," Liu Li wasn’t unwilling to continue, but Ye Xiaofen’s condition was worsening day by day.
"It’s not about the money, I just don’t want to lose. It’s just a little... cough, cough, cough... cold. I don’t believe I can’t pull through it," Ye Xiaofen said with difficulty, then started coughing violently again.
"What if it’s not a cold, but a viral infection? Everything’s wrong, this is no simple wilderness survival,"
"Also, the gate we passed through at the beginning is far from simple. It’s possible we’re in another world. Who knows what kind of viruses exist here," Liu Li looked at Ye Xiaofen, feeling she had underestimated this wilderness survival ga.
Ye Xiaofen glanced at Liu Li, having thought about what Liu Li said herself and even discussed it with her.
"Are you saying I might die?" Ye Xiaofen looked at Liu Li.
"As long as we quit, we can get dical help and it’ll be fine," Liu Li expressed her thoughts, genuinely worried that continuing like this could lead to an accident for Ye Xiaofen.
After all, deaths from colds aren’t unheard of. Why take this risk?
"Cough, cough, cough."
"Wha... what’s wrong?" Ye Xiaofen looked at Liu Li, noticing her horrified expression.
"You’re coughing up blood; we can’t wait. I’m quitting; there’s no point blaming ," Liu Li said, pressing the challenge quit button.
Ye Xiaofen looked at her bloodied hands, starting to get scared, and felt her breathing becoming difficult.
Her hand began to tremble, reaching for the Star Chart, then pressing the quit button.
Subsequently, she felt as though being tossed aside.
The situation in this live-stream room quickly spread to other live-stream rooms.
Consequently, the content was played back in the observation live-stream room.
"Liu Yi, is Ye Xiaofen really infected with so virus? If she cos back, could she bring back a virus from another planet?" Song Jia directly asked Liu Yi, as this was a concern for many viewers.
Their survival location being on another planet was the consensus among almost all viewers.
Every day, ordinary people were going to the governnt to inquire about that planet.
However, no governnt agencies in any country were answering these questions because they truly didn’t know either, therefore, they weren’t responding.
Liu Yi really wanted to say, if infected, they would definitely bring the virus back.
But, can she answer like that?
Clearly, she can’t.
Answering like that would undoubtedly cause panic.
Just then, Dr. Glasses pushed up his glasses and raised his hand.
"No, because the base is completely locked down, with the world’s best dical team there. All returning challengers undergo three months of health monitoring before rejoining society." Dr. Glasses said, standing up and taking out a remote control.
Inside the live-stream room, there was a big screen that had never been turned on.
Dr. Glasses pressed the remote, and the big screen lit up.
On the screen, a group of fully ard doctors in isolation suits stood in front of a circular door.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed across the door.
Then, Liu Li appeared, supporting Ye Xiaofen.
They appeared abruptly, with a ripple effect on the door.
Next, Ye Xiaofen was lifted onto a stretcher and taken into a completely isolated environnt.
All monitoring equipnt was connected, including a bronchoscope.
"Preliminary diagnosis: bronchitis, and esophageal abrasions. Moreover, we’ve started viral cultures. Please rest assured, global viewers, we will treat the challengers and have the capabilities to prevent any alien virus from entering our world."
"Additionally, any developnts will be promptly announced."
The person speaking was clearly the head of the dical team. After speaking, the scene shifted to Liu Li.
Liu Li was undergoing various checks, and after that, was taken to an area.
Here, viewers saw those challengers who had previously quit.
