Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 54: Duty Roster and Night Raid

Pong!

The piled-up timber was set ablaze, and the ash covering it drifted away like secondhand smoke blown away by a puff of air until it dissipated.

The flames from ordinary burning wood are less effective than those from torches imbued with the embers of the gods.

If the quality is too poor, then the only way to make up for it is with quantity and scale.

Seeing that there were still quite a few materials left, Ling Xiao simply put some away and began to light fires around the camp to dispel the fog!

Clang clang—

bang bang bang-

The sounds of hammering and stacking were incessant.

After Qi Heng selected the blueprints and paid the resources, buildings such as the platform, warehouse, camp, and fence rose from the ground and "grew up" at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Holy crap!? What is this!?"

"If this were a real game, it would be a massive hit! Even Minecraft doesn't have this level of freedom and playability!"

"Heh, the last time I saw you playing 'Mini World' on your phone was clearly..."

"You! How dare you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?! I've even seen you spend money on the game 'Three Kingdoms Kill'!"

"Nonsense! You dare to do it but not admit it? I dare to give Three Kingdoms Kill a good review, do you dare?! If you're so capable, let's both give it a perfect score!"

"Kick them out! Kick those two bastards out!"

……

Why join a guild on day one?

Isn't it all about sticking together, sharing the burden, and jointly addressing the world's crises?

Now, the fire has been lit, greatly reducing the threat of the ash fog; and all kinds of buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

The members, who had been on tenterhooks all day, could finally relax for a moment.

While they were joking around, the three presidents were not idle either.

"Place a fire every two meters along the fence, striving to illuminate the entire area! Ten tents around the central campfire, and another on the high platform. Don't skimp on wood; it's better to waste some than to let the fire go out!"

Qi Heng arranged all the buildings according to the plan, and the fire was spread throughout Ling Xiao's area as well.

A simple "lamppost" can be made by combining one unit of stone with one unit of wood, but care must be taken to add more wood to prevent the fire from going out.

The gray fog in the camp has been largely cleared, but the light above is starting to become hazy, and that suffocating feeling of being blocked out from the sky is about to return.

Moreover, this time the gray fog and sea of ​​clouds will hang even lower!

Taking advantage of the last moment of silence, Ling Xiao took a deep breath and quickly looked up to glance at the strangely shaped sun overhead.

All three yang energies are present, and the color is like blood.

Perhaps they should be called the Three Blood Moons!

Seeing Ling Xiao's grim expression, Qi Heng asked with concern, "How are you? What did you see?"

"The red moon, like blood..."

Qi Heng, an optimist who was always carefree, didn't know what to say at this moment. He wanted to look up, but Ling Xiao shook his head and refused, indicating that he didn't need to risk another person.

Ye Zhanqing, who was standing next to him, heard it all clearly, but he was also speechless.

So, it turns out that the sun in the sky becomes a blood moon after nightfall...

This is definitely not the world we knew before, it's not even a planet anymore...

Although it had been suspected for some time.

But the pain of discovering the truth is always unbearable.

Home is something you only think about when you can't go back to it, and you miss it so much...

"Come on, come on! Dorm assignments are here! Beds are limited, anyone want to do mixed-gender dorms?"

Qi Heng clapped his hands and greeted everyone with a smile.

After returning from military service, negative emotions lingered on him for shorter and shorter periods.

Using jokes to bridge the gap between people, whether it's a shy laugh or a bold one, can liven up the atmosphere.

As for the truth about the blood moon, only the three of them know it for now, so they won't reveal it to everyone and let them speculate.

In group activities, discipline is of paramount importance.

Keeping watch is mandatory.

Even people who haven't read the novel or watched the movie know the necessity of having someone on duty.

The rotating watchmen responsible for patrolling and adding firewood were quickly selected and divided into three groups.

My watch just past eight o'clock; it seems the world's "lights out" is indeed on time!

8 AM to 8 PM, it's so regular!

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and suggested, "The three of us also need to keep an eye on things, otherwise they won't be able to handle it if something happens."

Ye Zhanqing nodded in agreement, saying, "Moreover, one person alone is not enough. The boost from attributes is significant. In fact, the three of us should need less sleep than others."

"Let's pair up. Three people are enough to form three shifts, so each person can have four hours of rest time."

"agree."

Ling Xiao looked at Qi Heng.

The latter laughed, "Why are you looking at me? I'd definitely thought of this brilliant idea a long time ago!"

"He agrees too," Ling Xiao didn't play the straight man and started arranging combinations directly, "One of us three will definitely have to sleep during the middle four hours, which is also the hardest time to get a good rest."

"I have high energy levels, so I should have the lowest sleep requirements. First shift, it'll be me and Dao-ge; second shift, Dao-ge and you; then wake me up again for the third shift. Is this arrangement okay?"

Although it was a question, Ling Xiao only looked at Ye Zhanqing.

Since someone surnamed Qi doesn't want to use their brain, they're essentially not "human," so let's skip them.

"I can."

"Me too!"

"Alright, let's get some rest! You've been under a lot of stress all day, you won't be able to take it without some sleep."

……

At the deserted camp gate, two men, sitting arrogantly, were having a long-awaited late-night chat.

Qi Heng placed one foot on the stone beneath his buttocks, feeling quite content.

Ling Xiao was not to be outdone; he braced himself with his hands behind his back, tilted his head back, and looked around.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Which number?"

"First place, hehe! I'm also number one in monster slaying!"

"Wow! Problem kids really do need to be sent out for some serious training. They look much more like normal kids now!"

Qi Heng wasn't annoyed at all, and said with a grin, "Oh dear! I really didn't expect this..."

"It's such a coincidence that we two brothers have met. In this godforsaken place, we actually managed to ignore background and connections, focusing solely on ourselves! The world is vast, and there's so much we can do!"

"Hey bastard, move your ass away, don't splatter blood on me."

Ling Xiao pursed his lips and retorted a few times, but the curve of his lips did not escape Qi Heng's eyes.

"By the way, my awakened [Thunderous Ground] is incredibly powerful! If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be able to carry me to max level without any problem!"

"A strong offensive type? Are there any side effects? Like needing to recognize a dog as its owner?"

Qi Heng clicked his tongue. "Get lost! How could that be! You're just incredibly strong! But you can only be this strong in my hands... By the way, what are you?"

"I?"

Ling Xiao didn't reveal everything, saying, "It's a jack-of-all-trades, but I won't go into details."

"Hey! You've learned to lie to your buddies now, haven't you, after all this college life?!"

Qi Heng immediately objected, "What can't we talk about? You were too embarrassed to ask when we watched movies before, and I was the one who had to call him 'Big Brother'..."

"Alright, alright!"

Ling Xiao interrupted with a wry smile, "It's hard to say. Just think of it as a nuclear arsenal. It's enough, but it's troublesome to be specific."

"Understood."

Qi Heng didn't persist in pestering him.

Because he had figured out the unspeakable key to it all, "It's about people, right? Nuclear bombs are used to kill people. It seems your talent poses a great threat to other explorers."

Without saying anything, Ling Xiao didn't need to explain anything further.

The two chatted about other things for four hours straight, completely losing track of time. Apart from drinking energy drinks to soothe their throats, they hadn't heard anything else from the other conversations.

"Alright, I'll go call Sister Ye over. You two should get along well! Don't let me be sound asleep and then you two start fighting."

Ling Xiao was replaced, and Ye Zhanqing took over the post.

The two, who often bickered on the channel, didn't stop even when Ling Xiao was around in person.

But now that I was alone, I fell into silence.

After a long time, Ye Zhanqing, who had glanced at the young man next to him many times, took the initiative to break the conversation.

"How did you and that Brother Xiao meet?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Heng dropped his pretense and immediately replied with a grin, "The two of us? We're half-brothers!"

……

Ling Xiao, who was resting with his eyes closed, seemed to hear something.

It's not just a "seem"!

Something's up!

"Enemy attack!!"

His relaxed mind snapped back to reality. He didn't bother to tell the two sleepy-eyed people behind him to get up. He lifted the tent flap and rushed out.

The firelight illuminated the gleaming broadsword!
