Today, Xu Yi was utterly exhausted, so as soon as he slipped into his sleeping bag, he fell asleep.
Before long, he started snoring.
Normally, Xu Yi doesn't snore unless he's extremely tired.
Hearing Xu Yi's breathing, Lu Ke couldn't help but smile.
"Screenshot captured successfully, the little loli is really beautiful, Xu Yi is so lucky."
Lu Ke's face was slightly reddened by the firelight, making her features appear particularly three-dimensional, and her beauty even more enchanting.
Is Lu Ke beautiful?
Beautiful, and not just ordinarily beautiful.
When Xu Yi first laid eyes on her, he thought she was even more gorgeous than the top stars in the entertainment world he'd known.
However, her face was rather youthful, so youthful that it made you hesitant to have any inappropriate thoughts.
Currently, there are still over a million people in Room 77's live stream, mainly because these viewers are fans of Lu Ke's looks. Moreover, as her exposure increases, her audience will also grow.
There are over fifty live streams with higher traffic than Room 77. These streams are either hosted by celebrities, internet personalities, or beauty groups.
The top spot, naturally, belongs to Room 6. Ivica has too many fans, with tens of millions gathering in her live stream.
Speaking of Ivica, she and her brother Lei Jie have already successfully reached the coast and found a cave by the shore where they started a fire.
Recently, Ivica and Lei Jie were even enjoying grilled fish and fish soup.
After eating and drinking their fill, Ivica drifted into a dream.
Lei Jie also slipped into his sleeping bag, but he was lying at the other end.
Back when they divided the sleeping bags, the ones they had were quite large, more than enough for two people.
However, Lei Jie didn't sleep; he rested propped up on one elbow, one hand gripping a crossbow arrow and the other an engineer shovel, looking vigilant.
Many viewers don't just stick to one live stream; some keep track of several at once.
Lo and behold, someone just moved over from Room 233.
"It's great to see the doctor and nurse from Room 233 entering dreamland together. The cave is lined with soft dry grass, and there's a campfire burning underneath, absolute safety!"
"You're going too far, I just came from Room 1, and they're still shivering in the cold wind, preparing to dig a pit and cover it with branches to get through the night."
"It's not a big deal; many people are preparing to do the same thing, not everyone is so lucky. The first day is generally very challenging."
"Challenges are the norm; this is a genuine wilderness, an alien planet with not even a single native inhabitant."
"Luckily, Xu Yi didn't sleep with Lu Ke, otherwise my poor heart wouldn't be able to take it."
"Don't worry, Xu Yi will definitely give you the feeling of a heart attack."
"Are you sure it's not the feeling of love, handsome?"
"Mom, I'm in love. The little loli is so cute when deep in thought."
At that moment, Lu Ke was indeed deep in thought.
She was pondering just how long she and Xu Yi could survive.
From today's situation, it seemed that survival for her and Xu Yi wasn't that difficult.
She had initially prepared herself for the possibility of being eliminated on the first day.
But they ended up not only eating until they were full but even being able to sleep.
The only thing she found less than perfect was that she didn't have a phone to play with now, which was a bit boring.
And it would be several more hours of boredom.
Lu Ke was also somewhat fatigued today, given she used to stay in the hospital ward and rarely ventured out. But today, she hiked for hours and even wove many things.
Thinking about weaving, Lu Ke thought that tomorrow she should ask Xu Yi to collect more bark to take with them.
She felt that once they found a long-term shelter spot, she could weave more things. After all, that was her one skill, and if she could help Xu Yi by weaving more things, she would.
As time ticked by, Lu Ke grew drowsier.
Yet she did not sleep.
Whenever she felt herself drifting off, she pinched her thigh.
After all, Xu Yi had mentioned that beasts might emerge at night.
So, she had to stay awake.
Seeing Lu Ke being so hard on herself in the live stream, some viewers began to criticize Xu Yi.
"Xu Yi is going too far, running off to sleep on his own, leaving our little loli goddess behind."
"I feel so sorry for her, I wish I could be by her side, talking with her."
"The little loli looks so lonely, so helpless."
"You guys are too much, didn't you see how much Xu Yi did today? And Xu Yi said he'd take the second half of the night. It's difficult to stay up in the latter half, you blind fools."
"They're made of iron, working from dawn till dusk and continuing to stay up at night to do more work the next day."
"Ha, driven by love to act foolishly, just like these people."
The live stream began to erupt in argument, audiences attacking one another, and the dispute continued until after 11 PM.
The quarrel ceased because Xu Yi woke up.
"Keke, you can go to sleep now, I've had enough rest." Xu Yi didn't expect to wake up half an hour early. Previously, he used to sleep through the night without being disturbed.
Maybe it was a sense of crisis that did it.
"Ah, why are you awake so early?" Lu Ke, suddenly startled, exclaimed. She swore she hadn't fallen asleep on purpose.
"Almost, go to sleep now." Xu Yi said as he moved aside to let Lu Ke in.
"Then I leave it to you, I'll go to sleep." Lu Ke yawned and then slipped inside.
The sleeping bag was cozy and warm, filled with Xu Yi's warmth and scent.
Smelling it, Lu Ke found it quite pleasant.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she closed her eyes, soon drifting to sleep.
Lu Ke was extremely tired, otherwise, she wouldn't have dozed off for ten minutes near the shelter.
Xu Yi sat at the shelter's entrance, adding some wood to the fire, and then he turned the smoked bird meat.
The bird meat had almost finished smoking, taking on a light brown exterior.
After turning it, Xu Yi picked up the engineer shovel and continued crafting crossbow arrows.
Based on today's hunting, the short crossbow was quite effective, exceeding Xu Yi's expectations.
What he didn't know was that this was a top military-grade short crossbow, with specialized crossbow arrows reaching an effective range of 100 meters.
In fact, there were firearms among the tools, but they weren't given the option of selecting them.
Otherwise, the odds of success in their challenge would be higher.
As Xu Yi whittled the crossbow arrows, he remained acutely aware of his surroundings.
Having something to do made the time pass faster.
Just as Xu Yi estimated, a day here lasted 26 hours, two hours longer than on Earth.
So when dawn broke at 6 AM, Lu Ke had slept for a full eight hours, getting plenty of rest.
"Not a single animal appeared all night?" Xu Yi twisted his neck, got up, and stretched.
No animals might not be a good thing; it indicated that where Xu Yi was could be completely isolated from the mainland.
