The establishment of small groups allows for timely sharing of information and resources, which is much better than individual chats.
And all three of them have their own strengths, and the materials in their hands are all in need of each other.
He is good at hunting, fur and meat are his trump cards, Zhuge Dali is good at digging, wood and stone are her trump cards, Bai Zhong is good at weaving, and various weaving tools are his trump cards.
In the group, the three people told each other about their situations and requests. Currently, Xu Shiying and Zhuge Dali had accumulated enough wood and stones to upgrade the shelter.
Now the only thing left is Bai Zhong, who has not accumulated a single piece of wood or stone.
It's not that he doesn't want to save, weaving handicrafts requires a lot of time, and these items are exchanged for daily food and drink.
No time to exchange for anything else.
Especially the high-intensity knitting work during this period made it impossible for him to bend down, and he felt unforgettable pain when he bent down.
He also wanted to rest, but he still had Xiaofan to take care of, so he kept gritting his teeth and persisted.
For now, Bai Zhong is not a good partner. After all, the supplies he has are limited and the efficiency is low. It may take several days to produce a job.
This resulted in him being unable to keep up with many supplies. If he hadn't happened to meet Xu Shiying, he could have traded meat slices and cockleburs.
I'm afraid he has died long ago like many survivors.
It is now the fourth day of survival, and a large number of people die every day for various reasons.
At two o'clock in the morning today, he took a look at the number of survivors counted in the "Survival Manual". It was a full 40 million fewer than when he first came to this world.
In just four days, 40 million people were reduced. In front of nature, human beings are so small and helpless.
The mysterious prompting voice said that their novice protection period is one week, that is, there are only three days left before the green halo outside will disappear.
Once the green aperture disappears, it means that there are no restrictions on the wild beasts. Unless you hide in the shelter and do not come out, you may be attacked by powerful beasts even if you drink water or squat in a hole.
However, the strength of the shelter depends on whether it can be upgraded to a higher level. The higher the level, the higher the defense capability and the larger the area.
Unfortunately, upgrading requires so much wood and stone that you cannot accumulate it even if you want to, even if you trade.
In the past few days, he has discovered that the prices of wood and stone have increased a lot, at least by more than 30% based on the original prices.
It is not easy for anyone to survive these days. Naturally, it is understood that wood and stone are particularly important in the upgrades these days.
He also wants to upgrade the shelter to Level 3. It is said that some people have already upgraded the shelter to Level 3. Not only has the shelter become stronger, but the area of the shelter has also become much larger. It is even available from the upgrade gift package. Great supplies.
It would be a lie to say that I am not greedy.
It turned out that he could exchange a lot of wood or stone for weaving a bamboo basket.
But not now.
It's okay to exchange a bamboo basket for some wild fruits or fresh water, but at least five bamboo baskets are needed to exchange for wood and stone.
For this reason, Bai Zhong has not replaced any wood or stones for upgrading except for the wood usually used to burn pots.
At this time, when he learned in the group that Zhuge Dali owned a large amount of wood and stones, he was immediately shocked, especially when Xu Shiying told him that in the alliance between the three of them, both Zhuge Dali and Xu Shiying would use the outside market to Sold to him at 50% off the price.
The price of his handwork remains unchanged, as long as the quality and quantity are maintained.
Bai Zhong felt very frightened after hearing this, and quickly said no, he would also give them a 50% discount on the price of his knitted items.
Even a fool could tell that the two of them were taking care of him.
In this strange and dangerous world, it's not easy for anyone, and he doesn't want to take advantage, which will make him sleepless.
But Xu Shiying had made up his mind on this matter, and Bai Zhong had no choice but to accept it, and swore that the things weaved for them would be the best and most perfect.
In the shelter, Zhuge took a sip of snake broth and looked at the chat between Bai Zhong and Xu Shiying in the group, feeling very complicated.
From her own heart, she was unwilling to join Bai Zhong into their alliance. At least in her opinion, Bai Zhong's survival ability was low, and his physical strength and other aspects did not meet the standards of an excellent survivor.
The things he made were not hard currency for survival.
Especially after the novice protection period ended, Bai Zhong's weaving handicrafts had no market for a long time.
It’s not that he didn’t make it well, it’s just that it’s not needed for the time being.
When you have nothing to eat, do you think about how to make the bed comfortable?
When you are attacked by a wild beast, will you confront the beast head-on with a bamboo basket?
She calculated at least a hundred possible emergencies or development routes in her mind, and the results showed that they were not very optimistic.
Once Bai Zhong is added to their alliance, as an ally, she is not afraid of high or low resource prices.
It’s about whether you value them equally.
Because they also have needs, now it means that the two of them need to take care of him.
To put it harshly, Bai Zhong is now a burden.
But Xu Shiying communicated with her privately, told her about Bai Zhong's situation, and selflessly shared some of his snake meat with her. She really couldn't open her mouth, so she had no choice but to acquiesce.
Let’s talk about the next thing later. Well, this snake meat soup with salt is really good to drink.
…
Xu Shiying naturally didn't know what Zhuge Dali was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
We are all human beings, and we can help as much as we can.
Helping Bai Zhong is not to get Bai Zhong's gratitude, but to have a clear conscience, and at the same time to tell himself that he is a human being.
After a busy period, Xu Shiying drank some hot water and sat in the shelter to take a rest.
He just went out to pick up some wild fruits and the like. As an older man, Bai Zhong has a unique understanding of wild vegetables.
Many of them he and Zhuge Dali thought were weeds, but Bai Zhong told them they could eat them.
According to Bai Zhong's teachings, when collecting wild fruits, he dug out a lot of wild vegetables, including two large baskets. He sent some to Bai Zhong and Zhuge Dali respectively.
Both were very happy.
Vegetable freedom is finally possible.
The happiest person was Xu Shiying. No matter what the weirdness of this place was, whether it was an island or not, there was indeed a plain near him.
There were so many weeds that he could only use them as wooden boards for beds or dry them and use them as firewood. In order to supplement the nutrients his body needs, he eats leaves.
This made him feel like a savage for a time.
I got to know woolen grass because I was naughty when I was a child. I often pulled it out to play with. Finally, I found out that it is edible. After peeling off the green outer skin, there are tender white silk threads inside. If you are lucky, the woolen grass you eat has a lot of water and a hint of sweetness. taste.
But this thing is not very hungry, and the quantity is not large, so he ate it quickly.
I had no choice but to eat some green leaves.
Unexpectedly, he found that the wild vegetable resources here were very rich. If he had discovered these earlier, wouldn't he have lived a well-off life long ago?
The ancients often said that knowledge is wealth, and I will never deceive you.
