Take it easy, I'm a serious game

Chapter 26
On the other side, while the players were having fun molesting the black bear, the refugees who had initially settled down in the outpost of the research institute were also busy with their work.

When the players are away, the entrance to the research institute has been completely sealed, so there is no need to worry about them discovering the secrets in the cave.

And all the instructions were delivered through Lin Shuang, who had already reached an agreement with the players.

According to her instructions, these refugees must complete the construction of their own shelters in the last month before the arrival of the ice tide, and at the same time complete other construction tasks assigned by the players.

It has to be said that in the case of sufficient food, the productivity of these refugees is still extremely objective.

Although it is still not as good as tireless players, at least, within three days, this outpost has begun to take shape.

The main walls of the three igloos have been completed, the construction of the igloo as a greenhouse has also begun, a large pile of wood has been piled up, and the construction of the wooden hut planned for the refugees themselves has also started.

However, even so, as Chen Jiu expected, not all the refugees were determined to follow them to the end.

In many people's hearts, Xiahe Village is still their home.

There is a sacred furnace there, a family of their own, and a night watch team to ensure their safety.

What's in here?

There are no defensive measures in the wilderness, and the strongest weapons in the hands of the so-called "vagrants" are nothing but four strangely shaped bows and arrows.

If I really want to stay here for the winter, I'm afraid there won't even be any bones left.

After all, the reason why the ice tide is terrifying is definitely not only because of the ultra-low temperature, but also because of the beasts and monsters that go out more frequently when the climate is colder.

Why do those four refugees think they can survive the ice tide?
Therefore, "cutting trees for food, returning to Xiahe Village after getting enough food" became the plan of some people, and the proportion of these people is not low among the refugees.

Even Xiahe Village has abandoned them.
Lin Wen waved the rusty ax in his hand. After the last ax fell, he wiped the sweat from his face, shouted a warning, and then pushed down the huge tree in front of him that was more than a foot thick.

He had been smashing against this tree for a long time, and now it was going to be dark, and this tree was finally cut down by him.

The rest of the work is to remove the branches and then divide them into usable pieces.

According to those refugees—or according to the standards they call themselves "leaders", this tree can bring him two catties of dried meat, plus the dried meat he saved in the past three days in his small shack Already weighed 10 pounds.

10 catties of jerky, if saved, would be enough for him to eat for more than ten days in the ice tide.

This is certainly not enough for him to survive the entire ice tide, but he still has food in Xiahe Village.

As long as he is alive, Xiahe Village cannot touch its own grain.

This also means that before he can save enough food to survive the ice tide, there is at most 30 catties of jerky short.

As long as I work for another ten days, half a month at most, I can bring these grains back to Xiahe Village, to the warm sacred furnace, and to my own home
I am lucky, if I can survive this ice tide, I will probably become one of the longest-lived people in Xiahe Village.

However, in this way, my wife and children will have to wait for a while longer
Just as he was imagining the life after the ice tide, a voice suddenly appeared beside him, interrupting his thoughts.

"Brother Wen, how much jerky have you saved up?"

Lin Wen looked back and saw that the person who came was his neighbor, Lin Fang who was also over 40 years old and also had no family.

I have a very good relationship with him, and we have taken care of each other in the past few years, so he doesn't intend to hide it.

"I've saved 10 catties. If I work for a few more days, I'll save enough and I can go home."

Hearing this, Lin Fang showed a smile on his face.

"That's good, that's good! I also saved 12 catties. We are about the same. I think we can go back together by then!"

"Yes. But don't let Lin Shuang know that."

Lin Wen lowered his voice, pulled Lin Fang aside and said.

"why?"

A puzzled look appeared on Lin Fang's face, he hadn't figured out the key to this.

"Are you stupid? Do you think these 'leaders' let us cut down trees and build houses for them to live in? After building so many houses, can they live here?"

"They want us to stay!"

"Stay? But they didn't say anything!"

Lin Fang was shocked. He always thought that what he was doing was nothing more than working for the so-called leaders, just like a helper in the village.

He never thought of staying, and even the temporary shack was as simple as possible, because he didn't plan to live forever.

Hearing Lin Fang's words, Lin Wen sneered and said:
"They didn't say it, but didn't they just do it?"

"These refugees, they think they can build an igloo or a wooden house to survive the ice tide. This is too naive!"

"I don't think they are very old, so they probably haven't really experienced an ice tide—the last ice tide was more than 20 years ago."

"They hunt well, but at most they have hunted black bears. There are also tigers, snow leopards, night owls, and crampons in this mountain. Can they greet them?"

Lin Fang frowned, and said with some hesitation:
"But I think they are pretty good. Two days ago, a leader was obviously injured, but after one night, he recovered immediately."

"I don't think these people are that simple. You say, they are not aliens, are they? Or are they monks?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Lin Wen shook his head firmly.

"Why? I think it's possible?"

"Have you ever seen a monk who kills a black bear with a bow and arrow? If it is a monk, they will kill the black bear just like playing, and maybe they will raise the bear to look after the home."

"That's true, but"

Lin Fang wanted to continue, but before he finished speaking, there was a commotion from the direction of the camp in the distance, followed by an earth-shattering bear roar!

Finished!

The bear is here!

Lin Fang and Lin Wen looked at each other, then fell to the ground suddenly, confused for a while.

Although he said contemptuously before, the bear is still one of the top predators in this forest, and it is definitely not something ordinary people without weapons like them can greet!
run?
Where to play?

The road to Xiahe Village is right next to the camp, but bears have entered there!

Go another way?

There are pits everywhere in this forest of ten thousand caves, walk around at will, there is no place to die!
"What to do! Brother Wen!"

Lin Fang's voice trembled a little. He stared wide-eyed and looked in the direction of the camp, but his sight was blocked by the snow slope and he couldn't see anything.

Lin Wen on the side gritted his teeth, turned over and got up and said:

"Fight it! Let's rush over from the camp! Lin Hai and the others are still in the camp, drag them along and come out together, we can't leave them alone!"

As he spoke, he rushed towards the camp with one stride. Lin Fang hesitated for a moment, then followed closely behind him.

The hearts of the two were beating violently. At this moment, they truly realized the danger of this Ten Thousand Caves Forest.

Maybe in the next second, my life will be explained here
It's a pity, I thought I had changed my luck, but I didn't expect the result to be the same.

However, maybe I will continue to be lucky, maybe the bear is just passing by, maybe it is eating someone else.
Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Wen's mind, but when he rushed to the edge of the camp, he suddenly froze.

Yes, there was a bear in the camp.

A terrifying giant black bear with claws covered in blood.

It has a ferocious face, as if it will take a life away in the next second.
-
However, it was tied up.

It was tied up with a thin rope.

And the other end of the rope was held in the hands of the "leader".

Just when his eyes moved to the leader, the black bear roared restlessly again, and the snow in the forest was shaken down.

Lin Wen's liver and gallbladder are torn, but the next second.
A thunderous slap landed on the black bear's face.

The roar suddenly stopped.

Lin Wen stared at all this dumbfounded, and stammered:
"My mother, they really want to raise bears??"
