6. Temporary shelter in a deserted village

Thanks to many group campings, the people present have practiced a good level of barbecue. Although it was the first time I tried to grill an otherworldly creature, the grilled food looked like it was still edible.

The girls prepared the cooking spices they found in some of the houses in the village and spread them on the barbecue - what they said was the spices, but in fact they were something like salt.

The village had been abandoned for several years, and it seemed to have been abandoned in a hurry, with many items left unmoved. Some of the furnishings and furnishings were covered with thick dust, and the kitchen was still stocked with a lot of fruits, vegetables, rice, and noodles, and baked bacon and bread (of course, these ingredients were already rotten and inedible), and even a cellar in a relatively sturdy-looking stone house, where a large pile of silver and copper coins were found in the warehouse - but there were no people around, and the value of these money was naturally not as high as the deer-antelope game they had hunted.

In the end, there are very few things that can be put into use immediately. This jar of salt was carefully tried by Yang Qianyu to make sure that it was not spoiled before it was used for seasoning. This is also thanks to the fact that there are many companions among the people who have comprehended healing skills, and they can be treated when there is an accident, otherwise Yang Qianyu really wouldn't dare to risk the experiment.

Plates and knives were taken from the kitchens in the village, and when they were found, they were covered in thick dust. There is no river nearby, but the well in the middle of the village has not been abandoned, and the water is clean and drinkable. After washing the dishes with boiling well water, everyone dismembered the roasted meat and ate it. Barely filled.

Because it was getting late and they weren't sure if there was any human activity nearby, the group decided to take refuge in the abandoned village for the time being.

There are not many intact houses in the village, and even fewer can be used as bedrooms, and the locations are relatively scattered. For safety reasons, the group had to camp in the most spacious stone hut and build a few more shack-like structures with the wood and tarpaulins they found. All the girls occupied the stone huts, while the boys rested in the shacks. Fortunately, I found a lot of bedding and other things, so it was not too much of a problem to make do with sleeping at night.

At night, most of the companions began to rest to replenish the energy lost by rushing and tidying up their habitats during the day, but Li Xiang, Fu Bin, Yang Qianyu and several others were not in a hurry to rest, but gathered together to study their current situation for a short time.

First of all, it is already believed that the reason why everyone did not die was because of the crossing. Because whether it is the strange giant bear, or the prey that is paradoxical to the wild animals on the earth, they are all strange beasts that can only appear in fantasy novels.

As for the level of civilization in this world, looking at this abandoned village and the clothes of the corpse before, it is at least about the level of civilization in the Middle Ages in Europe. And they also found some books while cleaning up the stone-walled house, and when they opened them, they found that the contents were all letters. The shape can be compared with the 26 English letters on the earth, but the spelling is not the same. After Fu Bin took it and pondered it, he tried to decipher it with the spelling method of Hanyu Pinyin, and actually translated a well-organized article paragraph, which stunned everyone.

"God knows if the human language of this world is Chinese." Fu Bin closed the book with a wry smile. "But if it's true, it will save us the trouble of relearning the language."

In addition to these, several of them also tried the power they had gained - they found that as long as they closed their eyes and fell into contemplation, they could feel a text appear in their minds, indicating the combat skills and current strength levels and evaluation values of each person. Everyone's abilities are completely different, but all of them are heroic abilities and high-level class skills in Warcraft 3. However, companions with Heroic Legacy all have a random normal skill (Lv. 1) that is not an ultimate skill, while companions with a high-tier class Legacy have three skills (Lv. 0).

And now everyone's rank is all '1st order', although everyone doesn't understand how this level is divided, but they also know that their current level can be regarded as the bottom. As for how to move up the ranks, the answer that everyone called in their minds was only two words - "experience".

"To put it simply, is it just to fight monsters and upgrade?" After some discussion, everyone reluctantly came to such a conclusion.

"We've all played live action gungames before." Li Xiang smiled bitterly. "I knew that when I traveled to the world of swords and magic, we should have practiced eighteen weapons."

"It's not too late to practice." Yang Qianyu said: "We can't blindly leave this area now, if we want to explore the traces of people, we must first collect enough food and water for everyone's daily use." Fortunately, the vegetation in this area is abundant, and many edible fruits and plant tubers can be collected, and meat can be obtained through hunting, and there is no shortage of drinking water. It's also a good place to stay here for the time being, and by the way, you can familiarize yourself with the abilities you have mastered, and practice your combat skills through hunting. โ€

"For now, that's all it can be." Li Xiang sighed.

๏ผ

This is the twentieth day of the crowd's journey to the Otherworld.

The grass swayed, and a little beast that looked like a rabbit with short ears cautiously jumped out of the grass where it was hiding, and after feeling that there was no danger around it, jumped to a low bush with berries, and poked its mouth out to pick the fruit.

"Whoosh-" "Squeak! An arrow burst through the air and pierced the short-eared rabbit's neck. The short-eared rabbit screamed and struggled desperately, but the arrow stuck in its neck quickly drained its life force. After a few convulsions, the short-eared rabbit could no longer move, and could only collapse on the ground with a faint gasp.

More than twenty meters away, two figures appeared behind a bush, a man and a woman, the girl holding a bow and the other young man holding two short-handled single-edged battle axes.

"Lixue, your archery skills are getting more and more proficient." The young man admired as he walked over to the fallen rabbit and bent down to pick up the body of the rabbit.

"Okay, Brother Zhao Bin." Yang Lixue looked at her prey and shook her head. "The amount of this little beast is still too small to be enough for today's food share. We're going to have to hurry up and hunt a little more. โ€

"That's by the way." Zhao Bin said as he shook the short-eared rabbit. "Haven't we already collected a lot of wild wheat today, go back and process it, and we will be able to make do with a meal of bread today." As for this ...... Even if it's an extra snack bar. โ€

Zhao Bin said as he stuffed the body of the short-eared rabbit into his waist, and then saw the short-eared rabbit strangely disappear into Zhao Bin's waist.

After doing this, Zhao Bin looked up at the sky. "Hmm...... It's still gloomy, but it's darker than ever. It seems that the time is indeed not early, and it is time for us to return. โ€

"Okay, let's go back." Yang Lixue agreed, put the hunting bow behind her back, and the two embarked on the return journey.

After hurrying for dozens of minutes, the outline of a village appeared in front of their eyes, and a striking bonfire burned in the middle of the village, adding a touch of life to the silent village.

At this moment, this abandoned village for temporary shelter has undergone great changes under the joint efforts of many people - after abandoning the outermost village buildings, everyone gathered the masonry and wood that they could use, and based on the main buildings such as wells, large stone houses, storage warehouses, and mills in the central area of the village, a radius of 30 meters was extended to the periphery as the main living area. In addition to repairing some houses that can still be inhabited, almost all the exits of the original village were blocked and strengthened with wood and stone, and only one passage for everyone to enter and exit was retained. In addition, traps were dug everywhere in the outer area or improvised horses were laid out. This layout turned the originally abandoned village into a relatively well-defended improvised fortress. Although the range of activities reserved is greatly reduced, it is still spacious for a crowd of only 30 people.

Of course, it is definitely not a small amount of work to clear out a living space of nearly 3,000 square meters and lay a defensive belt on the perimeter. However, after the crossing, everyone's personal physical fitness has improved by leaps and bounds, and lifting an object of nearly 100 catties can be said to be easy. And the speed of running, the height of jumping, and so on, are not weaker than the top sprinters and high jumpers on the planet - and that's only a minimal improvement. With such physical fitness, it is naturally much easier to do physical work such as handling and building. Therefore, with the manpower of more than 30 people, it is naturally not too difficult to build a small simple fortress that is acceptable in less than 20 days.

"Sister Kaidong! We're back! From a long distance, Yang Lixue waved her hands and greeted loudly in the direction of the village.

"Is it Sister Xue'er and Zhao Bin?" On the roof of a half-collapsed wooden house at the entrance of the village, Zheng Kaidong, who was holding a war bow as a guard post, asked in a loud voice.

"It's us! We're back! Yang Lixue exclaimed happily: "We found a lot of good things this time!" โ€

"Okay! Wait a minute! Zheng Kaidong greeted, and then pulled the rope beside him, and with the traction of the rope, a row of horse-repelling piles blocked at the entrance of the village was slowly hoisted, gradually rising to a height large enough for one person to walk.

Seeing this, Yang Lixue and Zhao Bin hurriedly stepped forward to pass through the passage, and Zheng Kaidong waited for the two to pass before putting down the rejection horse again and blocking the intersection again.

"Brother Qianyu, are they back?" After entering the village, Yang Lixue asked Zheng Kaidong.

"I'm back." Zheng Kaidong said with a smile: "Yang Qianyu, they hunted a pig beast in the forest today, which is enough to have hundreds of catties of meat. โ€

"Wow! That's a great time for you! Zhao Bin was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Humph! We did a good job, we hunted a few short-eared rabbits, and we collected a lot of wheat. Yang Lixue said proudly with her waist crossed, and at the same time stretched out her arms and gestured. That's enoughโ€”that's a lot! โ€

"Yes, Cher is the most capable." Zheng Kaidong smiled and admired. "Let's go with everyone, and remember to leave me a portion for dinner."

"Okay!" Yang Lixue said yes and ran towards the village, and Zhao Bin followed closely behind her. After Zheng Kaidong saw the two leaving, he turned his gaze back to the outside of the village and continued to carry out the guard mission.

In the center of the village, a bonfire burned vigorously. Everyone was happily busy, either dissecting the prey they had hunted, or washing the fruits and vegetables they had gathered.

After Yang Lixue and Zhao Bin arrived, they first said hello to everyone, and then came to the place where everyone stacked the collected materials, and wiped their hands on their waists, and suddenly a large pile of items appeared out of thin air and piled up into a big stack.

This is a mystery that everyone accidentally discovered when they were familiar with their abilities - each of them had a separate storage space (presumably the ability that came with the Warcraft Legacy when they traveled through). Although this space is not too large, just one meter in length, width and height, and the total volume is only one cubic meter of small space. But I was able to put a lot of things in it.
