Chapter 6

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After burying the locust, Lin Yue returned to the hut with the iron spear and shovel.

He took a big bite of the bread and chewed it slowly, then swallowed it with the sweet mineral water.

Lin Yue could clearly feel that his energy had been greatly exhausted.

The feeling he got when he ate the bread and water could be described as…

Rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land after a long drought…

Cough, cough. In short, it felt very good.

However, this shelter was still not perfect.

The wooden walls, the wooden door, and… the straw roof of the hut.

This could not continue.

Who knew if there would not be mutated insects, bats, and birds running in at night?

He opened the game interface.

[Torch: Wood x1, Straw x3]

He picked the straw on the ground and placed them in his inventory, and clicked the torch.

Soon, a pitch-black torch appeared in his hand. Lin Yue took out the match he had just obtained and lit it.

A red flame ignited!

The light of the flames also lit up the dark shelter.

The torch was effective for 12 hours.

He could use this to judge the time.

After digging a hole on the ground and placing the torch in it, Lin Yue looked up at the roof.

If it had been wooden, how could the giant locust have entered the house?

After choosing the shelter sub-option under the manufacture page, Lin Yue immediately chose the wooden roof option.

[Wooden roof: Wood x8]

Good lord, that was a lot.

Lin Yue had no choice. After choosing to create it, a white light flashed and he finally obtained a complete wooden house.

“It seems like there’s something missing?”

The straw that he had used as a bedding had been turned into a torch.

Lin Yue spent another 4 units of wood to make a wooden bed.

He threw the remaining straw on the wooden bed and lay on it.

Comfortable!

Too many things had happened today.

Transmigrating, survival game, treasure chests, giant locust…

Everything seemed unreal, but it was real.

Lin Yue was also thinking about what power could transmigrate the entire world and let everyone have something similar to a ‘system’.

What were mutated creatures?

Could he return to Earth?

Thinking of these questions, Lin Yue was still very energetic at first, but as time passed, his eyelids gradually drooped.

The sense of security that the wooden house gave him made him no longer worry about the danger of the night.

After a while, he hugged the straw and finally fell asleep.

In comparison, other people could not even guarantee the most basic food and water, let alone sleep.

Some people’s shelters were in the forest and mountain area. They could gather a lot of wood, stone, and iron, so they built wooden houses and even stone houses, as well as various tools and weapons.

The continuous work made them thirsty and hungry.

They only obtained temporary safety and some materials.

But they did not have the most important water and food.

Therefore, they could only check the trading center again and again, and wait for someone to sell water again.

There was also a portion of people who created some simple weapons and even some who fought mutated creatures without weapons. However, the low probability of treasure chests dropping constantly challenged their nerves.

After all, killing mutated creatures consumed a lot of energy.

There were also a few lucky people who got treasure chests, but the things inside could only maintain their lowest survival needs.

Some unlucky people even choked to death while eating bread because of no water.

However, these were not the main reasons why the entire human race was greatly reduced.

After night fell, in their dilapidated straw huts, the survivors who were not protected by the fire faced more violent and powerful mutated creatures than in the day.

Those who took the risk to go out, those who thought they were very strong, and some who had been lying down for the entire day died silently in the night.

…

In the wasteland, the howls of wild beasts and the cries of birds resounded.

Poisonous insects wandered freely, and unknown beasts appeared and disappeared in the fog.

But as the sun rose and the moon set, all of them left.

In the wooden shelter, the flames on the burning torch became smaller and smaller.

Finally, it fluttered and died with a soft sound.

Lin Yue was woken up by the sound and opened his sleepy eyes.

“I actually slept for almost twelve hours?”

He stared at the torch in surprise.

He rubbed his aching muscles and sat up. His stomach growled.

After confirming that there was no unusual sound outside, Lin Yue opened the door with the iron ax, and the fierce sunlight shone in.

There was only the sound of the breeze blowing in the desolate land.

However, a strong stench filled the air.

Lin Yue walked around the shelter and found some feces left behind by something not far away.

There were many of them, and they were huge. Moreover, they smelled extremely bad.

Lin Yue had learned from some documentaries that the feces of carnivores was much more smelly than those of herbivores.

It seemed like there were many uninvited guests near his shelter last night.

Was it the same for other people’s shelters too?

Lin Yue returned to the hut and took out the iron shovel. He dug a pit and buried the feces in.

Of course, he was very careful not to let the shovel touch the feces and only pushed them with the surrounding soil.

After doing this, the stench was mostly gone. Lin Yue had the intention to cook.

Cooking was naturally not like eating dry bread with water.

From the inventory, Lin Yue tore off two pieces of tin paper of the same size and pinched them into the shape of a double-layered bowl.

He took out a bottle of water and poured it into the tin foil bowl. After testing that it was not leaking, he picked up the shovel and dug a triangular pit.

Lin Yu used the straw and cut some tree branches from the wood and placed them in the pit.

He placed the tin bowl on top and put some mineral water in it. He lit the firewood with the match. After waiting for the water to boil, he threw half of the instant noodles he had obtained into the bowl.

It was because the ‘pot’ was too small.

He opened the seasonings, vegetable packet, and sauce packet, and put them in the noodles.

The fragrance quickly wafted out.

Lin Yue, who had not touched oily things for the entire day yesterday, could not help but sniff deeply when he smelled this smell.

Making a pair of chopsticks out of a tree branch, Lin Yu picked up the noodles that were filled with a wondrous fragrance. Like wind blowing the clouds away, the noodles were gone with not even soup left.

Satisfying!

Right now, this noodles was better than any delicacies!

The sweating Lin Yue could not wait to prepare the other half of the noodles.

But just as he was about to put the sauce in, Lin Yue suddenly thought of something.

Could he exchange this cooked half a bag of instant noodles for something good?

He naturally did not mean food and water that could be obtained from wooden treasure chests. He did not lack them.

What he lacked was things that could make his shelter stronger or this survival easier.

Was he the only one who had obtained an iron treasure chest?

After all, there were many ferocious people in this group. Perhaps there would really be those who had continuously killed many mutated creatures and obtained iron treasure chests.

If the iron treasure chest could give useful things like matches and tin foil, it should also give other good things.

Lin Yue opened the trading center and began to search.

Soon, he focused on a post.

[Seller: Zheng Jing]

[Seller’s Note: It was not easy to get a bronze treasure chest. It should be worth this price.]
