"It's too cold, we can't stay any longer. We're taking the fish back now." Li Yinsheng saw that Yang Chaoyue and Li Qin's noses and fingers were red from the cold. If they stayed any longer, Li Yinsheng was afraid they would get frostbite and catch a cold.

"Yes, yes, let's hurry back, or we'll catch a cold." Wu Jing nodded in agreement; his feet were already numb from the cold, and he was freezing.

"Alright, let's head back for today." Yang Chaoyue was still savoring the moment. Although his face was flushed from the cold wind, his eyes sparkled with satisfaction and joy.

Back at the shelter, the fireplaces in the two bedrooms and the living room were burning brightly, warming their bodies and dispelling the chill.

Li Yinsheng boiled some water, then added some blueberry jam to dissolve it, and handed it to everyone, smiling, "Drink up, warm yourselves up and ward off the chill. We'll process these fish later; half will be eaten today, and the rest can be frozen for tomorrow or the day after."

After receiving the blueberry jam tea, the six of them sat around the fireplace in the living room, their faces beaming with warmth and smiles amidst the rising steam.

Yang Chaoyue took a sip of blueberry jam fruit tea, feeling the warmth spreading from her throat to her heart, and said contentedly, "Although it's cold today, it's so great to have caught so many fish and be able to come back together to enjoy this warmth."

Li Qin gently rubbed her fingers, which were a little stiff from the cold, and looked at Li Yinsheng gratefully: "Fatty, thanks to you for reminding us to come back, otherwise I was really worried that I would get sick. This fruit tea is a lifesaver, I feel like I've come back to life."

Li Yinsheng smiled slightly, her heart filled with relief. She knew that in this difficult environment, the team's cohesion and the mutual care and support among members were the most valuable things.

She stood up and began to prepare the fresh fish for lunch: "You all rest for a bit, I'll clean the fish. Tonight we'll have a whole fish feast to celebrate today's harvest."

As Li Yinsheng bustled about, the house filled with the warmth of home and laughter. The firelight illuminated their faces, filling this small shelter with coziness and hope, as if the harshness and danger of the outside world were kept at bay.

However, the Chinese team had plenty of food and a warm shelter, and the atmosphere was filled with laughter. Other teams were not as lucky as the Chinese team, especially the Japanese team, who were in trouble.

On the first day, they spent most of the day searching for a water source, hoping to set up camp and build a shelter near the water source. Not only did they fail to find a water source, but the delay also caused the shelter they built that day to be sturdy and collapse.

It was late at night, and there were no lights or anything, so they didn't continue tidying up the temporary shelter.

The wind howled coldly that night, and the Japanese team members shivered from the cold, huddling together for warmth. As a result, one of the team members caught a cold the next day.

The next day, after enduring a cold night, the Japanese team finally found a new water source before noon.

Without taking a break, they immediately began rebuilding the shelter, this time with even greater care and attention, hoping to withstand the approaching cold.

However, due to hunger and lack of sleep the previous night, one of the team members was so tired while setting up the shelter the next day that he accidentally cut his own leg while sawing down a tree.

Blood was flowing freely, and the wound was quite large, requiring stitches.

On the second day of "Man vs. Wild", Japan eliminated one member, which caused the team's atmosphere to plummet to a freezing point. Everyone fell silent, and their morale was severely damaged.

On the third day, the teammate who had caught a cold earlier did not take the medicine, and his cold became more and more serious. On the third night, he was delirious with fever and started talking in his sleep.

Wet towels with cold water and gently applied them to the team members' burning foreheads in an attempt to lower their body temperature, but unfortunately, it didn't work; instead, it made things worse.

Upon seeing this, the Japanese team leader was heartbroken but forced himself to suppress his grief. After discussing the matter with the others, he called the production team and sent his feverish teammate to the hospital for treatment.

He feared that further delay would endanger the lives of his team members.

On the other end of the phone, although the production team expressed their understanding and immediately arranged for a rescue helicopter, one could also sense the regret and helplessness in their tone.

After all, in extreme challenges like "Man vs. Wild," the withdrawal of any team member means a weakening of the team's strength and indicates that they are one step further away from victory.

Two teammates were eliminated at the start, leaving only four players from Japan.

Of the four, one needs to find food to feed all four, while the other three need to build a shelter.

Whether it was bad luck or a period of bad fortune, they couldn't catch any fish in the lake, nor could they hunt any grouse, squirrels, or other prey in the pine forest. They did find some berries, which barely filled their stomachs.

Lacking the strength to work, the shelter they built was naturally very simple.

When the snow came, the weather turned utterly cold. Their shelter swayed precariously in the biting wind, as if it could be swallowed up by the relentless blizzard at any moment, bringing with it piercing chills. The four huddled together, trying to use each other's body heat to ward off the raging cold, but to little avail.

To make matters worse, one day the Japanese team mishandled the situation and accidentally burned down the shelter while they were making a fire to boil water.

When the other three members of the Japanese team returned, they found that the shelter had been burned down. It was snowing heavily and the temperature was below minus ten degrees Celsius. Without the shelter to protect them from the wind and rain, they were directly exposed to the ravages of the bitter cold.

The three team members' faces turned deathly pale instantly, their eyes filled with disbelief and despair. The wind and snow relentlessly battered them, making even breathing seem incredibly difficult.

Thinking about everything that has happened in the past ten days or so, it seems that none of them have been easy. This time, it has once again hit the Japanese team members' psychological defenses.

One person couldn't take it and withdrew from the competition. Once the first person withdrew, it was like an infection spreading to others, and three more people withdrew in succession.

Seeing that there was no food, no shelter, and now no team members left, the Japanese team leader realized there was no point in continuing to participate in "Man vs. Wild" and withdrew from the competition.

On this day, Japan was completely eliminated.

It was the first country in "Man vs. Wild" to be completely eliminated.

After the Japanese team was eliminated, the viewers of the live stream became excited and left many comments.

"Great, all the old ways are gone, it feels so good."

"My China has one less competitor! No, my China has never considered ordinary people as competitors."

"Moreover, looking at the expressions of those eliminated contestants, there was both resentment and relief. That's the charm of competition, isn't it? It makes you both love and hate it."

"Looking forward to the upcoming matches, I wonder what surprises await us!"

"By the way, who do you guys think will be the dark horse in the next round? Which team might have a breakout performance!"
