Chapter 22 Surprise

Ye Zi and Huang Jingyu sat in front of the fire, mainly chatting. Eating meat wasn't the main point; the focus was on listening to Huang Jingyu talk about what had happened outside in the past ten days.

At first, Ye Zi didn't think there was anything wrong with the comments from the viewers in the live stream, but when he heard the nickname given to him after killing three wolves, Ye Zi couldn't hold back anymore.

What the hell is this "brutal and reckless guy"? How is he brutal? Where is he reckless?

The yellow whale said with a mocking expression:

"You dare to charge at one wolf, that's fine, after all, you're strong and your tools are handy. But you still dare to charge at three wolves, isn't that recklessness?"

Ye Zi considered for a moment and said:

"For survival, I need their fur as bedding and their meat to fill my stomach."

"You could finish me off with a knife, but why did you have to step on my neck? Isn't that brutal?" Huang Jingyu continued to mock.

Although he said those words, the question was raised by a viewer in the live stream. It just so stuck with him, so he brought it up to ask.

"I'm afraid of damaging the leather, and then it won't work properly."

To be honest, Ye Zi's explanation is quite reasonable, and the importance of fur is self-evident.

The survival location they were assigned was already cold, and it became even colder after the temperature dropped; without suitable fur, they simply couldn't survive.

Imagine a piece of leather riddled with holes the size of an axe, the kind that leaks out with a gust of wind—it's hardly better than not wearing anything at all.

While the two were chatting, the other survival teams weren't so relaxed.

Let's start with Wu Jing from the first live stream. His teammate is a male amateur who started cramming on wilderness knowledge after being drawn into a group with Wu Jing.

However, since they all learn from books and videos, there are some differences between them and actual practice.

Once they arrived, they realized that the intensive training they had been doing recently was not very useful. Fortunately, he was in good health and could just follow orders.

The second live stream room has been closed because the contestant was forced to withdraw, so the two subsequent contestants didn't even have a chance to show their faces.

A burly man named Han Xijun appeared in live stream room number five. He provided his teammates with three tools: a bow and arrow, a fishing net, and a military knife.

In this way, they can try to catch prey both on land and at sea, thus enriching their food supply for survival.

Finally, in live stream room number four, the big star finally appeared, but it didn't seem like he was there to make a living; it seemed like he was just going through the motions to increase viewership.

After meeting his fans, he first interacted with the drone, and then posed for various outfits with the female fans.

Finally, he took out his survival gear: a fishing tackle set, a bottle of sunscreen, leather shoes, overalls, a shirt, and a set of underwear.

Next, after assembling the fishing gear, we went to the beach, intending to go fishing.

But the female fan picked out a few better-quality wild fruits, washed them, and sat next to Xu Kun to fish with him.

To be honest, if this weren't wilderness survival, this scene would actually be quite visually appealing. But this is wilderness survival, with no fire, no stable food supply, and no clean water.

One is a celebrity who is lazy and knows nothing about farming, while the other only thinks about cherishing every moment to be close to their idol.

Bingbing, Zhuangyan, and Sister Sparrow in live stream room number six clicked into live stream room number four several times, but they had no idea what to comment on. In the end, they could only leave a message hoping that the other two would catch fish.

Then I just passed by.

Everyone knew that this group was about to be eliminated. Apart from Xu Kun's fans holding their ground and sending out waves of envy, no one would stop watching the fourth live stream.

As dusk approached, Ye Zi placed two wolf legs over the fire, and then, while chatting, began making arrows.

The yellow whale brought a bow and arrows. It had enough bows, but only ten arrows. It made some extra to take with it, just in case they came in handy.

Huang Jingyu may look honest and simple, but he's actually a cunning boy.

Ye Zi had been worried about what materials to use to bind the wolf fangs and tail feathers.

Unexpectedly, Huang Jingyu quickly opened the bag containing the solar-powered light bulb and then wound a thin thread into a spool.

While unpacking the bag, he grinned mischievously:

"See how clever I am? I told the production team that I wanted to give you a surprise and hoped that we could wrap this light up with something so that it wouldn't be visible from the outside."

Unexpectedly, they casually handed me a bag, and I reluctantly accepted it.

"Foreigners?" Ye Zi asked.

The yellow whale nodded with a wicked grin.

It's not that foreigners are stupid, but rather that they don't understand the Chinese way of doing things, and when foreigners give surprises, it's usually in boxes or bags.

There's nothing wrong with Huang Jingyu's idea; on the contrary, it's quite reasonable.

This bag can solve many problems; just open the bag and you'll get a ball of thread.

This ball of thread has many uses, such as sewing clothes, and it can be used to fix the fletching when making arrows.

Ye Zi grinned as well. All that was missing to make the arrows were the feathers; the shafts weren't a problem, they could be made tonight.

When the wolf leg was almost ready, Ye Zi pinched a pinch of salt and sprinkled it on. After waiting a little while, she picked up a wolf leg, blew on it, and started gnawing on it.

At the same time, he didn't forget to pick up another one and hand it to the yellow whale.

The yellow whale happily accepted the wolf leg and said:

"This is my first time eating wolf meat, so I'll savor it." He blew on it and took a bite.

"Holy crap, these two are eating so deliciously, I'm suddenly hungry too. Anyone want to team up?"

"No way. I don't have the fighting power of Ye Zi. I won't get the wolf leg; I might just end up as free meat. Have a safe journey."

"May you rest in peace."

"May you rest in peace."

"Delivery is on its way."

The live stream chat was filled with various teasing comments.

After Ye Zi and the other person finished eating the wolf leg, Huang Jingyu commented:

"The meat is rather dry and not very tasty; it's only good for filling your stomach."

"Be content. The roasted wolf leg I ate before didn't even have salt."

"Yes, it seems we need to get something else to eat."

"You can't find fruit here, at most you can find berries, and the only staple food is meat," Ye Zi said helplessly.

The yellow whale looked delighted and said:

"Eating meat at every meal, what more could you ask for?"

“That makes sense. We’ll start hunting tomorrow: pheasants, rabbits, bears, and moose.”

The yellow whale was caught off guard by the sudden expansion of the leaves, and then said:

"I'm confident I can catch pheasants and rabbits; after all, my archery skills haven't been wasted."

But with bears and moose, I'm not so sure.

Ye Zi glanced at the axe and pickaxe beside her and said with a relaxed expression:

"No problem, just like playing a video game, archers attack from a distance, and warriors fight in close combat."

We need their fur for warmth, and we also need their meat to fill our bellies.

"Brother, tell me the truth, how strong are you really?" Huang Jingyu asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, but killing a bear with a hammer shouldn't be a problem. If you really can't kill it with a hammer, then you'll just have to bleed it out."
