It can be said that Bennett and Razor did not choose to give up purely because their wills were firm enough.
Both of them have corresponding experience in hunting, but unfortunately, they still don't have a good place to live.
Facing the sky full of dark clouds, Zeng Deshuai became incredibly excited instead.
"Everyone, we are now welcoming the first heavy rain in this survival activity. I believe everyone is well aware that such uncertain weather factors are the key to survival."
"I think everyone, like me, is very curious about how the contestants will respond in this competition, right?"
"Then please welcome our specially modified rainy day drone No. 1, for live broadcast!"
As the specially modified drone flew through the forest, an astonishing phenomenon appeared before everyone.
Another team, Zhongli and Xiao, who had an excellent shelter, did not show much change in expression after seeing the sky full of dark clouds.
Zhongli just looked up, then instructed Xiao: "We can open our rain shelter now."
"Yes, Mr. Zhongli."
Xiao leaped to the edge of the treehouse and opened a rather special device.
As Xiao continuously rotated the device, the rain shelter, made of wood and large leaves, actually extended out.
Upon seeing this, Zeng Deshuai couldn't help but exclaim, "OMG, our contestant Zhongli actually prepared rainproof facilities in advance to cope with the possible heavy rain!"
"Such a retractable device can not only absorb enough sunlight normally but also prevent being soaked immediately when it rains. What ingenious Eastern technology!"
Not only Zeng Deshuai was amazed, but netizens also expressed their admiration.
Although this facility looks simple, perfectly integrating it into the wooden house requires a lot of accumulated wisdom.
As soon as their device was opened, the rain finally fell.
At first, there were only scattered drops, but in less than 10 minutes, it had turned into a downpour.
"Sayu, quickly move closer, otherwise you'll easily get wet."
On another sturdy big tree, Kuki Shinobu was sitting on a branch, with Sayu next to her like a ball.
Looking up, many large leaves covered the top of the two, preventing raindrops from falling.
But leaves are just leaves after all, and it's difficult to achieve full coverage.
Therefore, under this heavy rain, the two appeared somewhat disheveled.
However, Sayu seemed to be accustomed to such situations.
She changed her posture, stretched, and said, "Ha~ No problem, as a ninja, getting used to bad weather is a mandatory course."
Kuki Shinobu said nothing; she was also a person who could endure.
Since Sayu didn't feel the need for a better shelter, she didn't need to worry about it either.
"Lynette, don't just stand there foolishly, hurry up and take shelter from the rain!"
Lyney was also extremely anxious; why was his silly sister even slow at taking shelter from the rain?
The temporary shelter they built simply couldn't withstand the impact of such a downpour; they could only hide under the rocks.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before they would have to withdraw.
"How about it, my friend? I picked the right tool, didn't I?"
On the plain not far away, the plastic bags chosen by Ei finally played a huge role.
Because there were many plastic bags, Ei used them to wrap their shelter, which surprisingly prevented the downpour from breaking through.
Netizens also marveled at General's wisdom, not expecting these plastic bags to have so many uses.
Ei knelt on the ground, looking at the pouring rain outside, and for once, felt a rare sense of tranquility in her heart.
"Rest on rainy days, then go hunting and build your own house after the weather clears."
"Perhaps this is what most people do, just in different eras and facing different situations."
Ei teased, "Oh my, I didn't expect our General to be so emotional. How rare."
Ei didn't say anything more.
However, netizens also understood the meaning from Ei's words.
As Ei said, the essence of human life is nothing more than resting, working, and then doing what one must do.
Whether it's island survival like a savage, needing to build one's own house and find one's own food.
Or modern people living in concrete jungles, working and buying houses, it all seems the same.
It's just that with the passage of time, most people have developed unnecessary desires and fallen into the trap of consumption.
"I didn't expect to gain life philosophy by watching General survive outdoors!"
"Master Ei, I understand!"
"I understand too!"
Although there was a joking element, everyone truly experienced a different kind of meaning.
Under the onslaught of this heavy rain, except for a few individuals, everyone's life was not easy.
Even Ayaka and Yoimiya, who were slowly improving, had their houses show signs of collapse due to this heavy rain.
Including some of the pottery they made, which, not having had time to dry, was now washed away by the rain.
"Grass God, I didn't expect our house to withstand such a rain…"
In the deepest part of the jungle, Nilou looked at the strangely shaped house in front of her and couldn't help but exclaim.
Nahida, on the other hand, had no particular thoughts about it, because this seemingly peculiar house was completed under her careful design.
The drone flew through the clouds and came to rest above the two of them.
And when netizens saw the two's shelter, they were also incredibly surprised.
"Oh my, is this the fairy house?"
"Wait a minute, what materials is this built from? How is it both leaves and wood?"
"It's really strange; it wasn't washed away under this heavy rain."
Because the house in front of them was too unique, everyone found it hard to believe that this was a building that could appear in reality.
The main materials of this small house were only large leaves, supplemented by a small number of branches.
From the drone footage, it appeared to be almost unaffected by the heavy rain.
Facing Nilou's confusion, Nahida smiled and explained, "As long as you understand the characteristics of these plants and make a reasonable plan, you can build the most suitable house for us with the shortest time and the fewest materials."
Even with Nahida saying that, Nilou still marveled at the elf-like house.
At this time, netizens also noticed that everyone in Sumeru seemed to have strong survival skills.
First Tighnari and Cyno, and now Nahida.
This also made them look forward to it, wondering if Kaveh, as an outstanding representative of the Kshahrewar, would bring a different kind of surprise to everyone.
