Zhang Xue lay in the cave and did not sleep for the entire night. She tossed and turned, thinking about whether these methods were desirable.

As she thought about it, she couldn’t help but shed tears. It turned out that her experience wasn’t that good.

In her early years in university, Zhang Xue loved to survive in the wild. She felt that this could train her ability and allow her to better adapt to the social life after graduation.

For this reason, she specially learned all kinds of methods to survive in the wilderness. She felt that it was impossible to learn without practice, so she urgently wanted to find an opportunity to practice it herself.

By chance, she discovered an outdoor survival competition and happily signed up. Other groups only had one or two people, but she was the only girl. This quickly made some people have crooked thoughts.

When they really reached the mountains, those old men with dirty thoughts came near Zhang Xue’s camp. At that time, she simply thought that they had taken a fancy to this place and did not think too much about it.

However, after a while, Zhang Xue realized that these old men had started to appear in their camp naked. When they saw Zhang Xue return to the camp, they would occasionally make obscene actions at her.

Zhang Xue wanted to ask the organizers for help, but by the time the organizers found out, the men had already left Zhang Xue’s camp. As the organizers could not confirm who they were, they could not kick them out of the competition in time.

That night, Zhang Xue was very tired. She fell asleep, but in her deep sleep, she felt someone touching her. She suddenly woke up and realized that it was a few men. They covered Zhang Xue’s mouth tightly and began to do intense exercise.

After the competition ended, the few of them begged Zhang Xue not to tell anyone. For the sake of her reputation, Zhang Xue chose to agree. However, she asked them to do something for her and that was to let her win the competition. It was because of the help of those few people that Zhang Xue won the championship.

The night before they were about to leave the wilderness, the men crawled into Zhang Xue’s camp again. There was another violent exercise, but Zhang Xue had gotten over it.

At the thought of this, Zhang Xue stopped thinking about it. She felt that in the wilderness, the last survivor was the winner.

At dawn, Li Chen told everyone that their previous iron-forging plan could not be delayed, so they began their iron-forging plan again. After this period of continuous refinement, they had already obtained a lot of iron.

On this day, Li Chen brought back a lot of stones from outside. He placed a huge stone on the ground. This stone would be used as a table. Then, he tied a stone to a stick and began to use it as a hammer.

“Haha, Li Chen, the table you made is really ugly!” Wang Qi came out and teased.

“What do you know? This is not a table. This is for forging,” Li Chen said. Then, he added some firewood to the stove that he had made long ago.

Suddenly, Li Chen felt that he was still missing something. He went around looking for it again. Then, he got some soil and actually made a manual fan beside the stove.

“Li Chen, you’ve watched too many wilderness survival movies. You really want to refine iron,” Wang Qi said.

“You’ll know in a while. Come and help!” Li Chen shouted.

“Oh, it’s here!” Then, Wang Qi began to turn the blower and the fire in the stove lit up.

Li Chen continued to add firewood. Then, he threw the metal piece in. After burning for a long time, the metal piece did not turn red. However, a lot of firewood was burned. Li Chen was very puzzled.

“Li Chen, you have to use coal. Firewood is not resistant to fire. Only coal can do that.” Zhao Yu walked over and said.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu knew a little about these things. She then picked up the firewood and looked at it.

“Coal? What should we do?” Li Chen asked.

“Come, watch me.” Zhao Yu threw the firewood into the stove and took advantage of the heat to get them out. She extinguished them, mixed them with soil, and placed them there. “Look, this is coal!” Zhao Yu said proudly.

“Hahaha, I didn’t expect Sister Yu to have also watched so many wilderness survival movies. How can you make coal like this?”

Li Chen said with a smile. Then, he walked into the house and picked up his backpack. He took out a bag of coal from his backpack and took it out.

Li Chen had always been curious about one thing. From the beginning until now, the backpack had given him guns, medicine, knives, seeds, and other things, but it had not given him an ax, a shovel, or other agricultural tools.

Li Chen felt that this might not be considered wilderness survival, so they decided to make it themselves. With the help of coal, Li Chen finally began to refine iron.

After a period of hard work, Li Chen created tools like axes and hoes. However, at this moment, Hua Long and the others had also begun to plant crops under Zhang Xue’s call.

Hua Long wiped his sweat and sat on the ground. “I’m so tired. I didn’t know farming was so tiring.”

“Are you slacking off again? Get up and work!” Zhang Xue kicked Hua Long.

Compared to Hua Long’s snatching policy, Zhang Xue chose to develop on her own because she knew that Li Chen and the others would develop sooner or later, which might lead to them not being able to snatch their resources in the future.

Hua Long had no choice but to get up and continue working. Hua Long and the others had long known how to forge iron, so they also created iron tools which instantly increased their efficiency.

“Zhang Yang, I think we can’t save any more food. Should we build another granary?”

“You can’t store anymore? Then let’s build it!” Zhang Yang said.

Ever since Zhang Yang went out and suffered a setback, he had returned to his farming life. He had started to plant food again. His food supply had already filled up six granaries. It would not be a problem for him to eat for the next four to five years.

Moreover, in order to prevent Hua Long from launching a sneak attack, he had built all the granaries under his house. Hua Long could not find them underground, and aboveground, there was only enough food for a year. At the same time, he had also started to prepare his own fortifications.

“Everything has been peaceful recently. I wonder how Li Chen and Hua Long are doing.”

“The two of you, bring enough rations and go to their place to take a look. Find out about their situation, but be careful.”

At this moment, Zhang Yang sent someone to investigate the situation of Li Chen and Hua Long. He wanted to do this for his own plans and also to figure out the movements of Li Chen and the others.

The brothers who had gone out finally returned after a long time. When they returned, they told Zhang Yang that Li Chen and the others had already used electricity. Hua Long and the others had also begun to farm. Moreover, Hua Long had a woman accompanying him.

“No wonder they didn’t attack us, but that’s good too.”

Zhang Yang said proudly. As he spoke, he looked at his crops. This batch of crops was about to be harvested again. He told his men to be prepared and not delay the harvest.
