Many children, many blessings: Taking classmates' grandmothers on a desert island survival miss

It was evening.

The rain has completely stopped.

Jiang Che lit a roaring bonfire in the open space inside the wall.

Grandma Li displayed her terrifying A-level culinary talent.

Fresh wild boar meat is sliced ​​thinly, marinated in rice water that Jiang Che had previously made to remove the gamey smell, then skewered on sharpened wooden sticks and grilled over charcoal.

The mutated wild boar's meat was exceptionally tender. As the fat dripped onto the charcoal fire, it sizzled, and an incredibly rich aroma of meat filled the entire camp, making everyone's mouths water.

Besides roasting meat, Grandma Li also used wild boar bones to make a large pot of rich bone broth, adding Wuchang rice that Jiang Che brought back, and cooked it into an extremely delicious meat porridge, specially for the elderly grandmothers with poor teeth.

The firelight illuminated everyone's faces, dispelling the cold and fear of the deserted island night.

Everyone sat around the campfire, eating heartily the golden-brown, crispy roasted wild boar meat and drinking steaming hot meat porridge. Everyone's face was filled with a satisfied and happy smile.

Liu Wenying sat next to Jiang Che, a skewer of grilled meat in her hand. As she ate, she tilted her head and smiled at Jiang Che, whose features were clearly defined by the firelight. She suddenly felt that living on this deserted island like this might be an extremely wonderful thing.

However, just as everyone was immersed in this rare warmth and tranquility...

A piercing, chilling, blood-red system notification suddenly and without warning rang out in the minds of Jiang Che and the billions of survivors struggling on Earth!

[Global Announcement!]

[Beep—All survivors have passed the initial adaptation period.]

The new player protection mechanisms (severe weather obstacles and monster activity restrictions) will soon be lifted.

[WARNING: Only three days remain until the first catastrophic event—the Blood Moon Beast Tide!]

Three days later at midnight, a blood moon will appear, causing all the mutated monsters on the deserted island to go into a berserk state, indiscriminately attacking all survivor camps!

[All survivors, please make the most of this last bit of time to upgrade your shelter and craft weapons.]

Only those who survive this beast tide deserve to continue living!

silence.

A deathly silence.

The once lively and cozy campsite fell silent instantly. The elderly women's grilled meat froze in mid-air, their smiles instantly turning to ice.

The blood-red characters, like a sword of Damocles, hung over everyone's head.

"Blood Moon... Beast Tide?"

Liu Wenying put down the barbecue in her hand, and her relaxed expression vanished instantly, replaced by an extremely solemn and cold look.

She turned to look at Jiang Che.

Jiang Che looked at the countdown [71:59:59] that had already started jumping on the panel, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

The grandmothers, who had just been enjoying their meat and soup and the rare peace, now felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their bodies chilled to the bone.

Suddenly, the roasted meat in their hands no longer smelled appetizing. Some grandmothers with poor mental resilience were so frightened that they couldn't even hold the leaf bowl containing the minced meat porridge steady, spilling it all over the ground.

"A beast tide... all the monsters will go berserk..."

"What are we going to do! The system just said the newbie protection period is over, which means more and more monsters will be coming after us?"

"Can our wall hold them off? There are hundreds, even thousands, of monsters..."

Panic spread rapidly among the elderly, like a plague. Having lived their entire lives, their greatest fear was this kind of uncontrollable catastrophe. The sense of security they had just built was instantly shattered by the system's global announcement.

In this atmosphere that was extremely oppressive.

"when!"

A sharp, metallic clang suddenly rang out!

Jiang Che drew his fine steel machete and slammed it heavily into the muddy ground in front of him. The blade reflected the flickering firelight, radiating a chilling, murderous aura.

All the grandmothers' eyes were instantly drawn to it.

Jiang Che stood up, his tall figure blocking part of the firelight and casting a long, solid shadow on the ground. He looked around at the crowd, his eyes showing no panic, but rather a chilling composure and sharpness.

"Why are you all panicking?"

Jiang Che's voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely firm, carrying an unquestionable authority that clearly reached everyone's ears.

"The system did mention a beast tide, but it also said that this is a survival game. Since it's a game, it can't present a situation where certain death is inevitable."

Jiang Che pointed to the three-meter-high, incredibly thick wooden and stone wall surrounding them: "Look around us! Others might still be getting soaked in the rainforest, unable to find even a cave to hide in, while we've already built a three-meter-high defensive wall! We have sturdy safe houses, an endless supply of wild boar meat and Wuchang rice, and we even have water purifiers and rice cookers!"

"More importantly..."

Jiang Che turned his head and looked at Liu Wenying sitting next to him.

Liu Wenying immediately understood. She picked up the high-quality composite bow from her lap, stood up, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Che. Her black, tight-fitting short skirt outlined her graceful and powerful curves in the firelight. She looked like a guardian deity, her eyes filled with disdain.

"More importantly, we have the strength," Liu Wenying's cool voice rang out. "That mutated wild boar weighing over 300 pounds today didn't even have a chance to get close before I shot it through the head with an arrow. Xiao Jiang is incredibly strong; he can chop down over a thousand logs in half an hour by himself. With us here, even if a hundred wild boars come, they'll only become roast meat in our pot!"

Jiang Che and Liu Wenying sang in unison, their absolute confidence stemming from their formidable strength acting like a powerful stimulant, piercing deep into the hearts of the elderly women.

Looking at the two determined figures, then turning to look at the thick wall and the simmering meat soup in the pot.

Yes.

Unbeknownst to them, their team, which should have been the weakest in the entire server, had become the most advanced among all the survivors.

"Xiao Jiang is right..." The pharmacist took a deep breath and was the first to calm down. "We have food, drink, and a wall around us. Xiao Jiang and Xiao Liu are so capable, what are we afraid of? Even if we die, others will die first!"

"Yes! We'll do whatever Xiao Jiang arranges!" Grandma Li echoed, waving her meat cleaver.

The panic was finally suppressed and transformed into a strong will to survive.

Seeing this, Jiang Che nodded in satisfaction.

He knew that the team's morale could not be shaken.

"For the next three days, everyone stay put. Grandma, who is physically fit, will help me twist hemp rope and organize wood in the safe house; Grandma Li, who can cook, will try to make as much easy-to-preserve dried meat as emergency supplies. The rest of the defense construction will be handled by Wen-yin and me."

Jiang Che decisively issued the order, completely stabilizing the morale of the troops.
