Extreme Night Wilderness Survival: Strong Man's Thoughts

There was a light.

Wang Yu was greatly surprised. He immediately understood that there was another player ahead.

He had encountered another player.

After Wang Yu stopped, the other player seemed to have noticed him as well and also stopped.

What should he do now?

Wang Yu thought of the Dark Forest Law. They had met in the darkness, and neither side could predict the other's thoughts...

Finally, Wang Yu gritted his teeth. He decided to go meet this player.

He and this player were on the same creek, about an hour's journey apart. They would meet sooner or later, so it was better to make contact sooner and probe the other's strength.

Wang Yu was still confident. If the other party had ill intentions, he would use his Crossbow to fire three shots, rendering the opponent unable to fight, and then finish him off with his Entrenching Tool.

With his plan formulated, Wang Yu cautiously moved forward.

At this moment, Wang Yu saw the player opposite him also walking towards him.

Since the other party did not evade, Wang Yu became even more cautious, indicating that the other party also had some means of reliance.

The two lights gradually approached.

Wang Yu saw the person clearly. It was a Strong Man, one meter eighty plus, who clearly wasn't someone to be trifled with.

Wang Yu's heart sank. Encountering this kind of player in a Survival Game was not a good thing.

The Strong Man saw Wang Yu and grinned: "Kid, are you a player from upstream?"

Wang Yu: "Yes."

At this moment, the Strong Man suddenly saw the Crossbow in Wang Yu's hand: "Wo Cao, it's a Crossbow."

It seemed the Strong Man knew his stuff.

The Strong Man quickly said: "Big Brother, I just remembered I forgot to turn off the fire for the water I was boiling. I need to go back."

As he spoke, the Strong Man took a few steps back, creating some distance between him and Wang Yu. The two were now more than ten meters apart.

Seeing the Strong Man about to flee, Wang Yu shouted: "Wait."

The Strong Man was startled: "Big Brother, is something wrong?"

Wang Yu: "Are you a player from downstream?"

Strong Man: "Yes, Big Brother."

Wang Yu: "From now on, the downstream of the river belongs to you, and the upstream belongs to me. How about we don't go into each other's territory?"

The Strong Man immediately said: "Big Brother, you can rest assured, I will never come to the upstream of the river in the future."

Wang Yu: "Good."

Strong Man: "Then, Big Brother, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."

"I wish you the best in clearing the game."

With that, the Strong Man took off running.

Watching the Strong Man's retreating back, Wang Yu slowly lowered the Crossbow in his Right Hand.

Since there was a Player downstream of the Creek, Wang Yu decided not to go downstream anymore.

He would stop for today and prepare to return to his Shelter.

Afterward, Wang Yu walked upstream along the Creek. The journey back was quick, and after traveling for Over an Hour, Wang Yu returned to his Shelter.

He had gone out around nine in the morning and it was already past Two O'Clock PM when he returned to his Shelter.

During this time, he had used over 50 milliliters of pine tar. He had also reaped a great Harvest, picking over 3 catties of Berry, finding 157 water snails, digging up 12 White Melon, and collecting a lot of Dry Wood. Today's outing had been very fruitful.

He had also encountered a Player downstream of the Creek.

Back at his Shelter, Wang Yu started a fire in the Fireplace to cook. For Lunch, Wang Yu decided to eat Rabbit Meat; he still had one last portion of Rabbit Meat left.

It was already past Three PM after he finished Lunch.

He could now use the dice in his Right Hand to increase the quantity of items.

Wang Yu left his Shelter. After encountering the Strong Man Player today, Wang Yu felt that the area around his Shelter was no longer as safe.

There were a hundred thousand Players in this wilderness. He would likely encounter more Players in the future, and he needed to prepare himself to deal with them.

Any encounter with these Players would inevitably lead to a life-or-death struggle. Food in the wilderness was finite; the less food there was, the more dangerous the competition between Players would become.

He had to Prepare for a Rainy Day.

The first thing Wang Yu thought of was protecting his Shelter. As long as his Shelter was secure and he had sufficient Food, he would be able to survive in this wilderness.

Wang Yu had thought of many ways to protect his Shelter on his way back.

He realized that in the vast Dark Night, it would be difficult to find his Shelter. If he could conceal his Shelter, other Players would not be able to discover its location at all.

With an idea, Wang Yu decided to act.

How to conceal his Shelter?

Wang Yu felt that the first step should be to erase any traces of his activities near the Shelter. If other Players passed by and found no signs of activity, they would naturally not know that a Shelter was hidden there.

Wang Yu needed to eliminate the traces of his activities in the vicinity over the past few days. The most significant traces of his activities nearby were the fires he had made and the Seven Big Trees he had chopped down.

He needed to hide the traces of the fires and the stumps of the chopped trees. Otherwise, other Players would immediately know that there had been Player activity nearby, and they would follow the clues, thus exposing his Shelter.

To erase these traces, Wang Yu had a crude and simple idea.
