Don't Starve, my items can be upgraded

Chapter 5: Counterattack, Wild Wolf

Peng Min acted very quickly, after all, he had rich experience in digging holes.

In a few moves, she dug out the bone that Yang Chen sensed, and there were many more scattered bones.

She glanced back quickly and said nervously, "They are running again, approaching us quickly."

Yang Chen picked up the bone containing energy and ran faster: “Follow me.”

Because of their digging behavior, the five people probably suspected that they had found food and could sustain themselves longer, so they did not plan to endure any longer.

If you stop now, you will only die faster.

However, once the five men pass by this location and realize that what they have dug out are rotten bones, they should slow down again.

It depends on whether the other party will be fooled.

Peng Min hurried to follow.

While running, Yang Chen absorbed the energy in the remains of the wild wolf and converted it into energy to strengthen the nail gun.

Because there is energy support again, the speed of producing derivative gas is very fast, and the progress bar of the nail gun increases faster again.

Three percent... five percent... eight percent...

The progress bar is increasing rapidly.

'It only takes ten minutes... at most ten minutes, and the nail gun can be upgraded again!'

Yang Chen thought silently, but he had eaten the meat of the black sparrow before, but Peng Min only ate the internal organs and half of the wing, so he might not be able to last for ten minutes.

At the back, the five people passed by the place where Yang Chen and the other two were digging, and saw the rotten bones scattered around the pit, and were all stunned.

"Maybe we don't need to chase them. What they dug up probably isn't food." one of them said.

However, another person retorted: "You also said 'should', what if they dig up food?"

"What kind of food can be found in the remains of the wild wolf?"

"Could it be the legendary bone marrow crystal?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right? We haven't even seen anything like that before."

"Could they have done this on purpose? Could it be a trap?"

"No matter what, since they're running, let's kill them right away. I'm so hungry!"

Several people were arguing, but their pace did not slow down at all.

……

"They didn't slow down..." Peng Min said anxiously while gasping for breath.

"Keep running. There's about three or four hundred meters between us. It doesn't matter if you run slower. We can buy a little more time."

Yang Chen said: "It will take time for them to catch up with us."

"But... I can't run anymore..."

Peng Min began to feel dizzy before her eyes. The little bit of food she had taken before could only ensure that she could live for two more days without doing strenuous exercise.

But under intense exercise, it would be good if you can hold on for an hour.

Especially now they are very sleepy, as daytime should be their time to sleep.

Hearing this, Yang Chen suddenly stopped: "In that case, let's fight here. Aim at them with your bow and arrow, but don't shoot. They don't dare to charge directly."

Upon hearing this, Peng Min was about to draw his bow and draw his arrow.

Yang Chen reminded: "Wait until they are about to enter the range, don't waste your energy."

"Okay." Peng Min hurriedly took the opportunity to rest and tried to even out his breathing.

Seeing this, the five people more than 300 meters behind looked at each other and continued to chase.

"Although it's unlikely that they'll dig up treasures that can improve their strength, we should kill them in one fell swoop just in case. The worst that can happen is that they'll just get hurt."

"That's right, the longer the night, the more dreams there are."

"If it really is a treasure, don't let them use it. It's such a waste."

The speed of the few people did not decrease, because they often ate "meat", their physical strength was much better than Yang Chen and the others, and the endurance of the wasteland people was very good.

So they ran for more than 200 meters in one breath and came into the range of the wooden bow. Then they slowed down, freeing up two people to defend against the opponent's arrows. The remaining three people drew their bows and arrows, shooting arrows while continuing to move forward.

Seeing this, Peng Min on the opposite side had a fierce look in his eyes. He aimed at one of them and shot an arrow.

However, as the temperature rose during the day and the temperature difference between hot and cold was convective, the wind began to get stronger and the arrow missed the target by a lot.

Without pausing, she hurriedly took out the arrow again, aimed, and shot.

"Puff puff!"

Suddenly, three arrows from the opposite side fell here, and the nearest arrow almost hit her, maybe by coincidence.

Suddenly her heart tightened.

This area is too flat, there are no obstacles, so we can only fight head-on.

"Just shoot the arrows, and I'll block them for you."

Yang Chen walked in front of Peng Min and squatted, letting Peng Min hide behind him. He shot arrows from his shoulder, and he took off his animal skin backpack to cover his face, while estimating the distance between the five people opposite.

After the five men came within forty meters, he raised the nail gun and took aim.

Relying on his previous experience with guns, he estimated the downwind direction and wind speed, then aimed at the upper left side of one of the men's heads and shot a nail.

"puff--"

The rusty nail flashed by, drew a parabola in the air, and then, pushed by the wind, suddenly shot into the exposed part of the forearm of the rightmost person among the five people, with half of it embedded in it.

"what……"

The man screamed, looked down, and his face suddenly changed: "Damn, the opponent has a weapon!" The others also changed their faces and reduced their offensive.

Yang Chen took the opportunity to aim at another person again and pressed the launch button.

"puff……"

The rusty nail shot out instantly, drew a parabola in the air, and then, pushed by the wind, happened to shoot into the mouth of a person who was speaking and inserted into his throat.

The man's face changed drastically. He quickly threw away the bow and arrow, covered his neck, and then fell down with a grim face.

"Damn..."

"We've hit a wall. Get out of here!"

"Damn it, if the other party has such a powerful weapon, why is he in such a miserable situation?!"

"This is a trap! Damn it!!"

The remaining four people were filled with anger, and then turned and ran without hesitation.

"puff--"

Yang Chen shot out the third nail again.

However, this time the shot missed because the distance was too far.

When he wanted to fire the fourth nail, the four men had already run out of the maximum range of the nail gun.

"Great, we won!" Peng Min shouted in surprise, but because he was too excited and his body was severely overdrawn, he fell down with his eyes rolled back.

"Peng Min..."

Yang Chen's expression changed, and he hurriedly stared at the four people who were running away, while he straightened Peng Min's thin body and let her lie on her back.

"It's probably just overwork and long-term malnutrition that almost caused him to die suddenly, but he's still breathing, so it's not a big problem."

Yang Chen checked Peng Min's breathing, then picked up half of the water bag next to him, pulled out the stopper and fed Peng Min some water.

He drank some water to replenish his body's water, put the cork in place, and then looked at the four people who had escaped.

The four men stopped after running a hundred meters away, then turned around and looked over here.

They had obviously noticed that someone had fainted here, and seemed to be hesitating whether to fight back.

However, because the person who used the sharp weapon was still conscious, they had a brief discussion and then evacuated decisively, without caring at all whether the fallen companion could be saved.

Forty meters away, the barbarian with a nail shot into his throat struggled for several minutes and eventually suffocated to death.

Yang Chen did not rush over to check the body, lest the other party fake his death.

Taking advantage of this time, he refilled the nail gun with steel nails while continuing to absorb the energy from the wild wolf's bones, converting it into derived energy to strengthen the nail gun.

After seven or eight minutes, of course the energy in the remains of the wild wolf was exhausted, and the nail gun was finally upgraded again.

[Guaranteed Nail Gun lv.6: 0% (…effective range 22 meters, maximum range 66 meters; cannot be upgraded)]

"With a guaranteed range of 22 meters, it should be enough for hunting."

Yang Chen thought in his heart, then he carried Peng Min on his back, took the water bag, bow and arrow, Peng Min's wooden spear, etc., and walked towards the bodies of the barbarians forty meters away.

However, when he was only ten meters away from the bodies of the barbarians, he felt dizzy and his vision went black.

"Hold on..."

He hurriedly put Peng Min and other things here, and walked towards the bodies of the wasteland people with only a nail gun and a broken machete.

When he came to the body of the barbarian, he first searched the body.

As expected, there was nothing good at all. The only loot was a wooden bow and more than ten wooden arrows.

"Whether we can get food today depends on you."

He first chopped off the corpse's head and took out the steel nails that had been shot in before, then stripped off the animal skins and clothes on the corpse, preparing to drain its blood, cut open its belly and catch its prey.

It was then that he discovered that the body was actually a female.

Perhaps it was due to poor development and the lack of a waist, so it was completely invisible from the outside before.

But the difference is not big.

Yang Chen directly used the broken knife to drain the blood from the corpse, cut open its belly, took out the corpse's internal organs and scattered them around.

Then he quickly returned to Peng Min with the bow and arrow and animal skin clothes.

After making sure that Peng Min was breathing normally, he picked up a wooden spear and dug a pit nearby that was large enough for two people to lie down. He then put Peng Min in and covered his body with mud, leaving only his head exposed.

Then he used the animal skin clothes he had just obtained to cover Peng Min's head to block out the sun, leaving only a breathing hole for her.

Covering with soil not only maintains body temperature, but also prevents water loss under the scorching sun.

Yang Chen also lay down, covered his body with a small amount of soil, and then stared at the sky, waiting for the prey to take the bait.

The sun was already high in the sky and the temperature was rising rapidly.

Yang Chen continued to fight against the sleepiness that kept coming, while waiting patiently.

I don’t know how long it was, but suddenly I felt a chill down my spine.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw a wild wolf whose color was almost exactly the same as the yellow and dry color of the surrounding Gobi Desert, approaching within ten meters.

The moment he looked over, the wild wolf suddenly accelerated and pounced on him.

"Fuck!"

He quickly raised the arm that was holding the nail gun, and his sleepiness disappeared instantly.
