Chapter 35 Leather Underpants

So, in order to give the yellow whale a bathtub, two leaves were needed, luckily the trunk was long enough.

Besides enough material to make a section for a table, a section for Er Ya's bathtub, and a bathtub for the Yellow Whale, there's also enough material.

Moreover, the trunk is one meter in diameter, with ninety centimeters hollowed out in the middle, leaving a barrel wall about five centimeters thick, which is then secured with leather ropes.

The joint will swell a bit due to being soaked in water, so there's no need to worry about leaks.

However, the leather rope must be strong, otherwise it cannot withstand such great tension.

Finally, there are leather cords; the leaves are not only woven from bear skin, but there is more than one cord used for securing them.

After Ye Zi placed the two tree trunk sections that were meant to be used as bathtubs aside and let Er Ya and Huang Jingyu sit on them respectively, Huang Jingyu realized that his thinking had fallen into a misconception.

Because after he sat on that tree trunk with a diameter of one meter, he instantly felt that such a bathtub could completely meet his bathing needs.

Er Ya was equally happy. This was the wilderness, and being able to take a comfortable hot bath was already a great pleasure.

This isn't a tropical island; it's sparsely populated Alaska, where the highest temperature throughout the year is only around 10 degrees Celsius.

No one asked why there were only two bathtubs, because Er Ya and Huang Jingyu believed that if it weren't for the difference between men and women, one bathtub would have been enough.

Next, they broke open the tree trunk and hollowed out the middle part.

For this task, Ye Zi chose a pickaxe because once inserted into the tree trunk, it can act like a crowbar, splitting the trunk in two.

These pieces of furniture alone took Ye Zi and the other two almost a week to make.

Fortunately, they had hunted a bear beforehand, so they had plenty of food, and the three of them hadn't stayed indoors all week.

I spent two mornings fishing at the beach, and another two mornings hunting small animals like pheasants and rabbits.

Otherwise, the three of them wouldn't be able to stand eating bear meat every day.

Meanwhile, in the past week, most of the other participating teams have experienced various conflicts.

Everyone has different strengths and responsibilities, but they all get paid the same amount of money.

Firstly, in China, the emphasis is on teamwork and equal distribution of bonuses; that's how it's advertised and how it's done.

But it's different abroad; they value individual heroism.

The first player who survived until his teammates reunited must have been strong in all aspects, such as finding food, building shelter, and making fire. If he couldn't do these things, he wouldn't have survived until they reunited.

The teammates who joined later were basically improved versions of this team.

Who would be happy to have their bonus split equally when they've done the most work and are the most capable?

However, this is also the easiest to solve. At worst, we can discuss it after the show ends and focus on survival first.

With more people involved, more opinions arose. In addition, the distribution of bonuses was not agreed upon, and there were disagreements about who did more work and who did less work.

More importantly, there is the issue of food. With more people, the consumption of food increases, and how to obtain food becomes the biggest problem.

In just one week, nearly ten teams have withdrawn from the competition.

Moreover, these teams were basically brought in to make up the numbers; to be precise, they were there to provide prize money support to teams that were capable of surviving.

Of the original twenty-five teams of the Five Perpetual Perpetrators, only thirteen remain.

There are three teams left in China: Wu Jing's team in live stream room 1, Ye Zi's team in live stream room 3, and Zhao Xiaogu's team in live stream room 5.

The US had two teams left. One team withdrew due to illness, and the other team withdrew simply because they found a wrecked iron ship. Although they couldn't go to sea, a corner of the cabin was intact, so the three of them couldn't resist making a fire and taking a bath. When they returned to camp, they found that they couldn't find the fire starter.

I tried several primitive methods of starting a fire, but none of them worked, so I gave up. That's how the wilderness is; without fire, you can't even eat anything hot.

The last one simply gave up because the distribution of the bonus wasn't agreed upon, and no one was willing to do more work.

The Russians have four teams left. These old Russians are really tough. Except for one team that had to withdraw due to illness, the other teams are still holding on.

Finally, there's John Bull. They have three teams left, but given the quality of food in their home country, the wilderness isn't much different from home, except for the lack of seasonings.

Finally, there's the French rooster, a survival story in the wilderness, devoid of any romantic elements, especially with its love triangle—who could stand that?

Of the three remaining contestants, none had French ancestry; their only nationality was French.

Otherwise, the French would have been completely wiped out.

Ye Zi, on the other hand, knew nothing about the outside world, and the information provided by Er Ya was limited to the ten days before she joined them.

Ten more days? Oh, the yellow whale has already told him about the situation in those ten days.

Within a week, the furniture in the house was all set up. Even the bath tub that had just been made was polished by Ye Zi when she went out hunting and found a relatively large pebble by the river where she had found the campsite.

I applied another layer of pine resin and baked it dry for later use.

Now the only remaining issue is figuring out how to boil water to ensure I can take a hot shower.

And Er Ya's blanket has finally been replaced with a bearskin one.

To make her two teammates more comfortable, Erya returned both wolf pelts to them.

Fortunately, she had a heated kang bed, and although the bearskin wasn't very big, it was enough to wrap up a girl like her.

Pillows weren't a problem; Huangjingyu had already solved that. They made bags out of rabbit skin, filled with hay, which were soft and comfortable.

It's worth mentioning that Ye Zi used bone to grind a bone needle and gave Huang Jingyu a live demonstration of how to sew leather shorts.

Then, the yellow whale no longer had to wriggle around so often because of its unhealthy mindset.

As for these leather underpants, the rabbit skin used has been rubbed and kneaded countless times by the two of them, far exceeding the wolf skin used as bedding.

It does have an effect; it's incredibly soft. As for how it feels to wear, it's definitely not as good as the fabric, but it's much better than nothing.

When Yezi's leather shorts were discovered by Erya who came in to get something, Erya also took two tanned rabbit skins and asked Yezi for bone needles, leather thread, and a knife.

As for what kind of clothes Er Ya should wear, that's something we can't ask.

Otherwise, what are you going to tell the cows? What are the sheep? What are the horses? What are the viewers in the live stream going to tell you?

But then again, these three people are indeed very skilled with their hands.

The tables, chairs, benches, and kitchen utensils are all made of wood, which is fine in itself, but the problem is that none of the tools they have are handy.

Can a wooden stump be used as a stool? Of course, but it's heavy and hard to move.

It would be much better if it were shaved into a stool. Not only can you sit on it, but more importantly, it's lightweight and easy to carry around.
