The two eliminated people sat where they were, watching someone rummage through their bags. It was only then that they realized the person before them, wrapped up like a silkworm pupa, was another target on their elimination list—Wang Tianwei.
Zheng Yunyun looked at her petite figure and haggard face, feeling a bit of pity, and offered,
...There are still some wild raspberries in the side pocket of my backpack. Do you want them?
Are you crazy?! Giving things to the enemy?!
Zhu Yu'an looked over in horror!
Wang Tianwei opened the side pocket of her backpack, and sure enough, there was a pocketful of red berries! Although a few were squashed, most were still edible, so she carefully scooped them out.
Thanks, these are very important to me.
Zheng Yunyun pursed her lips and smiled shyly.
I am out of the game anyway, so it is nice to be able to help a classmate.
Zhu Yu'an said in disbelief,
Should not we be helping our own teammates then?
Zheng Yunyun opened her mouth and turned her head. She had forgotten about that!
But before she could regret it for long, a broadcast soon echoed,
Class S, Zhang Jia and Eve are eliminated. 20 points deducted, hunting points cleared to zero.
Uh... looks like we do not need to now.
A crack appeared on Zhu Yu'an's previously disapproving face.
Looking again at Wang Tianwei, who was pulling off the short-sleeved shirt wrapped around her head and putting his training uniform back on...
Sigh... there is medicine and bandages in the outermost compartment... You should be able to use them.
Wang Tianwei, pleasantly surprised, searched where he indicated. There were actually three blister packs of anti-inflammatory drugs and three packets of cold medicine! There were even a few rolls of bandages wrapped in plastic!
You are a lifesaver! I cannot believe you remembered to bring this! Let us add each other as friends once we are out of here!
In the interstellar era, very few people got sick. Even if they got injured, lying in a medical pod for a while would basically cure them!
As for other issues, they required specially formulated healing potions, so she had never seen a regular public pharmacy.
She could not find anyone selling medicine when shopping on the Star Network either. The original owner's memories did not have much of an impression of medication, so she naturally forgot about it later on...
But this classmate actually managed to get his hands on medicine?!
What is your name, classmate?
A slight blush appeared on Zhu Yu'an's dark face.
Zhu Yu'an. It is nothing... My older sister prepared the backpack for me.
Your sister is very thoughtful.
New bullet comments popped up in the livestream:
The Eldest Miss is about to coax these two into embryos...
This is exactly how evil capitalism tricks me into spending money!
The Eldest Miss does not seem hard to get along with! She does not mind anything... Wait! There is no need for used socks!!!
The rescue aircraft finally arrived. Since they had to pick up six people this time, it simply landed directly on the ground.
The cabin door opened, and Chao Hao walked out with his hands in his pockets, first facing their direction.
Those who are eliminated, stop dawdling and get on the ship immediately!
Then he shouted a few times toward both sides of the small path. Before long, Bian Ruiming and the other three members of the squad appeared, looking utterly dejected.
The six people lined up and boarded the aircraft. Before leaving, Chao Hao took another look at Wang Tianwei.
Do not forget, you three cannot travel together.
Reporting to the officer, we just happened to bump into each other. We are not traveling together!
Chao Hao's eyelids twitched involuntarily as he looked at how she had wrapped half her head in a khaki short-sleeved shirt. Unwilling to look at this student for another second, he turned around and boarded the aircraft.
Alert lifted!
Wang Tianwei breathed a sigh of relief and looked around. Jian Jingyu and Huang Yan should have already set off, right?
The backpack had gotten much heavier, but she was filled with nothing but excitement!
She had four more water pouches now, so she wouldn't have to worry about a water source when entering the desert! She also scored medicine and other supplies. What a massive haul!
Now that she thought about it, why hadn't this occurred to her before? Honestly scavenging for supplies was nowhere near as fast as convenient robbery!
It was just that next time she made a move, she would need to be fully prepared...
Wang Tianwei was estimating the feasibility of robbing others all by herself. She had barely walked back a hundred meters when two unpeeled potatoes suddenly dropped from a tree, along with a few blocks of solid fuel!?
These were good items!
She deliberately avoided looking up, but just as she picked them up, her sharp eyes spotted a men's watch and a hat resting on a nearby rock.
The watch came with a built-in compass and weather forecast functions, way more professional than her own!
"...Thank you, nature, for your gifts?"
Hiding up in the tree, Jian Jingyu almost laughed out loud. Not far away, Huang Yan, who was packing his bag behind a rock, also grinned. However, the movement tugged at a spot on his face where he had been hit, twisting his expression into a painful grimace...
Wang Tianwei also put down two sets of water purification tubes and the two sets of medicine and bandages she had just confiscated. As she continued walking forward, she made sure to talk to herself loudly,
"I definitely need to be fully prepared to cross the desert later!
Food and water are essential, but warmth and fuel are also very important! I already prepared goggles, walking sticks, sun protection..."
The viewers in the livestream couldn't help themselves as they listened to Wang Tianwei rattling off her reminders like she was reading off a menu.
"Does the eldest miss really know this much about what to prepare for the desert!? There aren't any deserts on Planet Tianshu, right!?"
"Back in the day, I only realized what kind of path I was about to take when I actually reached the edge of the desert..."
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Jian Jingyu is up in the tree listening and memorizing it all!"
"Young Master Huang too."
"Medicine really is important, though. To think someone among these brats actually remembered to bring it!? Where did he even get it?"
"Do people still take pills these days? Is there anything that a shot of serum or a medical pod can't solve?"
"Oh, the Zhu family. That makes sense then. Their family believes in ancient medicine... they never use healing pods when they get sick."
"Did anyone see how Huang Yan eliminated those two? I was just camping in the eldest miss's livestream and didn't switch to the split screen!"
Compared to Wang Tianwei and Jian Jingyu, the process of Huang Yan eliminating Eve and Zhang Jia wasn't particularly smooth.
Those two had been chasing him from the start, and after everyone else was ousted, the duo became even more cautious.
Huang Yan could only rely on his own strength to engage them in hand-to-hand combat.
Fortunately, one of them was a B-rank commander and the other an A-rank mecha master. Neither was a combat soldier...
And after his physical training over the past two days, both his speed and endurance had improved. Although fighting one against two was difficult, he still won.
He suffered some injuries, but he scored a lot of good stuff from their backpacks!
Since Yama Chao hadn't come out to stop them, it meant they could continue using this method later on... They needed to adjust their tactics.
After packing his bag, Huang Yan limped out from behind the rock, picked up some anti-inflammatory medicine and cold medicine, and took a roll of bandages.
"Be careful from here on out."
A low cough came from the tree.
After Huang Yan also set off, Jian Jingyu climbed down the tree.
"Water purification tubes, not bad!"
Taking the remaining medicine and bandages, the little curly-haired boy noticed the drone filming him. He looked up and said solemnly,
"Thank you, nature, for your gifts..."
Watching the scene unfold on the livestream, Chao Hao was so exasperated he nearly laughed.
Pulling this kind of stunt just because he refused to let them tag along? Thanking Mother Nature? Did those three little brats really take him for a fool?
Behind him, the six students he had just picked up were craning their necks to peek at his optical screen. Seeing this, they desperately stifled their laughter, their faces turning beet red from the effort.
