In the early hours of the night, Wang Yu was not yet asleep. It was estimated that no player could sleep in the wilderness.

Wang Yu went into the cave entrance on the Giant Rock Notch to wait.

At the stroke of midnight, the heavy rain suddenly stopped.

Seven days ago, the heavy rain had arrived silently, and now it had stopped just as silently. Watching the sudden cessation of the downpour was a spectacle in itself.

Wang Yu knew the heavy rain would stop punctually in the early hours, but he couldn't help but come up to take a look.

Now that he had seen it, he returned to the First Floor of his shelter to sleep.

On the sheepskin, Wang Yu lay down and fell asleep.

Past Three O'clock in the Morning, the Alarm Clock rang. It was time to use the dice to Increase Quantity of items again.

Wang Yu took out a string of Wild Chili he had prepared, 12g * 12. The weather was going to turn cold. Wang Yu took out the Wild Chili to Increase Quantity with the dice. For Cold Protection and to keep warm, one needed not only to wear clothes and warm oneself by the fire, but also to eat. Chili peppers were undoubtedly effective at dispelling cold.

He rolled the dice.

Five Points.

Wang Yu rolled a five, increasing his Wild Chili by five strings. Another stroke of incredible Luck.

Taking out the five strings of Wild Chili, he now had a total of 72 Wild Chili.

He wouldn't have to worry about spicy Meat Soup anymore.

He hung 6 strings of chili in the Kitchen area, then Wang Yu continued to sleep.

In the morning, it was the 15th day of the Survival Game. Wang Yu got up on time at eight o'clock.

After eating Meat Soup for several days, Wang Yu wanted to change his taste.

He took out Water Snail Meat, skewered three strings with a Wooden Skewer, about six liang of meat. He would have grilled Water Snail Meat for breakfast. His Food was quite abundant now, so he could eat his fill at every meal.

He still had one Tin Bucket of Water Snail Meat, about 15 Jin, which he had increased in quantity with the dice last time. He had earned over 73 Jin of Water Snail Meat in the past few days that he hadn't yet increased with the dice. He could eat Water Snail Meat to his heart's content.

After eating the grilled Water Snail Meat and some Berry.

After tidying up, Wang Yu prepared to leave the shelter. He climbed up the Big Wooden Ladder to the cave entrance. He didn't bring an Oil Lamp. Now, he had to be careful when entering and exiting the shelter. Players might appear around him, and he couldn't expose his location with a Lamp Light.

He first observed his surroundings from the cave entrance, checking for any lights before lighting his Oil Lamp. It was a good habit that would reduce a lot of Trouble in the future.

In the Dark Night, a single point of light could be seen from a great distance. This was something he had to guard against.

Now, the surroundings were naturally player-free and pitch black. Wang Yu lit his Oil Lamp and lowered the Small Wooden Ladder to the Giant Rock.

Wang Yu descended outside the shelter along the Small Wooden Ladder. The moment he landed, Wang Yu was greatly surprised.

The standing water outside has disappeared. To be precise, the standing water has receded. The traces of standing water are still there, but the water itself is gone.

Wang Yu immediately looked around and found that the standing water was indeed gone, leaving only the mud from after the flood.

This standing water receded too quickly.

Wang Yu had a guess. He opened the [Chat Channel] to check. As expected, the floods in the wilderness had receded, and players were discussing it.

Everyone unanimously guessed that this was a game setting, and there was nothing else to say.

However, the receding flood was great news for the players.

They could move freely in the wilderness, they could clear the standing water in their shelters, they could go out to find food, they could start fires to cook, and more importantly, they could go in search of this welfare.

Those gangs and small groups could gather offline.

It was foreseeable that players would be running all over the wilderness next.

This was not good news for Wang Yu.

Wang Yu walked to the fence outside the shelter. This fence was four to five meters high, and there were only a few hidden small holes to enter and exit the shelter.

Outside the fence, there was a maze formed by several-meter-high big stones and forests. The path to the shelter was very inconspicuous.

Wang Yu exited the fence and walked to the great cedar wood, which was over 60 centimeters thick. He removed four 'Pine Oil Collectors' and poured the pine oil into a tin bucket.

Then Wang Yu did not put the 'Pine Oil Collectors' back. On the great cedar wood, he used some moss to camouflage the holes where the 'Pine Oil Collectors' were inserted.

This great cedar wood was too conspicuous. He could not install the 'Pine Oil Collectors' here anymore. Although the surroundings were a maze and the chance of players coming here was very small, Wang Yu wanted to minimize the risk and eliminate all potential risks.

Afterward, Wang Yu inserted the four 'Pine Oil Collectors' into several inconspicuous trees and camouflaged them. Even if players searched with lanterns, they might not be able to find them.

After finishing everything, Wang Yu returned to the shelter.

The flood in the wilderness receded too suddenly. He was completely unprepared and now he had to go back and think about what to do next.

He had only one question: should he go in search of this welfare?

He was inclined to go in search of the welfare. As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. He also wanted to see what the Fruit of the Birch Tree was.

He didn't want to miss out on any good things.

The reason he wanted to go in search of the welfare was also because the flood had receded, and he had his mount, the big cat. Otherwise, he would definitely not go in search of the welfare; it wouldn't be worth the risk.

Now that the flood was gone, and he had four big cats as mounts, he could travel 120 kilometers back and forth to search for the welfare. He had the conditions, so why wouldn't he go in search of the welfare?

Since he decided to go, he had to hurry, otherwise the 1000 portions of welfare would be snatched up.

Wang Yu organized himself. He packed meat, vegetarian food, and his crossbow. He left the shelter. Even if his home was raided, the food in his [Backpack] would ensure his survival.

After tidying up, Wang Yu left the Shelter. He still had something to do: place the 12 Traps in the Rocky Area behind the Shelter. This area was behind the Shelter, and the possibility of players coming here was extremely low.

He placed the 12 Traps in this area, hoping to catch some Prey. The 12 Traps were Empty anyway.

Wang Yu felt that such a large Rocky Area should have small animals.

After placing the 12 Traps, Wang Yu passed through the Forest Maze and arrived at the Steep Slope leading to the creek.

"Rumble~"

Before reaching the creek, Wang Yu heard the rumbling sound of the Flood. It seemed the Flood in the creek was still significant and hadn't completely receded.

It seemed crossing the creek was impossible, so he could only walk along its bank.

Wang Yu summoned Big Cat and then mounted him.

He had studied the map and had a general idea of the direction.

Wang Yu decided to head downstream along the creek. The reason was simple: there was a Female Player upstream, someone he couldn't afford to provoke.

Big Cat's Pace was light, and traveling was very smooth. His speed was countless times faster than Wang Yu walking.

The Prompt Message said he would receive a notification within 300 meters of the welfare. Wang Yu could only keep moving forward, hoping to get lucky and stumble upon it.

Around 9 AM, he would be able to increase the number of items again.

Wang Yu found a Big Stone.

He cast the dice.
