"Then we'll bring the tools back tomorrow and just dispose of the body here."
"You're only coming to handle this tomorrow?" Yin Haoyu glanced at Qin Yan, his face full of dissatisfaction. "We've already gone without food for two meals. Why wait until tomorrow when we have food? Are you unwilling to put in the effort to haul the food back?"
"..." Qin Yan smiled helplessly but politely, "No, you misunderstood me, but please don't get agitated and let me explain, okay? It's really not easy for you to find such a big animal carcass."
"This is also beneficial to our survival, but this large animal has a lot of blood on it. After all, we are in the wild, we are hungry, and other carnivores of all sizes in the forest are also hungry. If we drag it back to the camp to cut it up, I am worried that the smell of blood will attract other wild animals."
“Normally, we don’t have much of a problem if we encounter one or two small animals, and we can even hunt them down and use them as food. But if they come in groups, we may be powerless to deal with them.”
"So what I'm suggesting is that we bring the tools over tomorrow, cut it up, and then take the useful parts back. This way, we can not only avoid risks but also reduce some weight. What do you think?"
Comments: 'Qin Yan makes a lot of sense!! To be honest, I didn't think of that at all. It's obvious Qin Yan didn't have much wilderness survival experience before, but she really put in the effort this time.'
"Sister Qin Yan is amazing, her thinking is so clear. If it were me, I would definitely think the same as Yin Haoyu and quickly bring the moose home and hide it."
However, what the audience had figured out, Yin Haoyu couldn't understand.
Or perhaps he didn't want Qin Yan to take the lead in this matter.
He was the one who found the moose carcass, so he should be the one to decide how to handle it.
Therefore, he rejected Qin Yan's proposal.
“I don’t agree. You know this is the wild. If we don’t remove the carcass in time, it might be devoured by other wild animals tonight. You saw it yourself; the moose died from its injuries and bleeding.”
"The smell of blood on it has already dissipated. If you insist on leaving it here, I guarantee that when we come back tomorrow, there won't be anything left."
Qin Yan frowned: "It shouldn't be that bad. It's so big. Even if it's been gnawed down to its skeleton by animals, we can take the skeleton back and make meat soup, which will be enough to eat for many days."
Yin Haoyu was already getting impatient:
"So what do you mean now? Why are you refusing to eat the meat and insisting on gnawing on the bones? What kind of wild animals could there be here? Just some squirrels and rabbits. You've been here for more than ten days, and besides these small animal footprints, what else have you seen?"
"And can you guarantee it won't snow heavily tonight? What if the snow gets too thick tomorrow and we can't even leave the house?"
"It's getting dark soon. If you don't want to help me, you can go back first. I can manage on my own, it'll just be a bit slower."
Yin Haoyu stopped listening to Qin Yan and turned to go into the woods to cut down trees.
Qin Yan had almost never lost her temper with anyone in her life, and the few times she had argued, she had never won. Now, seeing Yin Haoyu enter the woods alone, she had no choice but to follow him.
In the end, the two managed to pull the moose carcass back.
The viewers in the live chat were getting really anxious.
"Ugh, do they even know that Jing Hao withdrew from the competition because of the brown bear? This forest isn't just home to squirrels and rabbits!!"
'Well, obviously they don't know. Right now, only the production team, Jing Hao who left, Alex, Shen Jinghe, and us viewers with this omniscient perspective know.'
"Ugh, this Yin Haoyu is so annoying! Why is he so stubborn? And Qin Yan, why can't she just hold on a little longer?!"
'Perhaps she was persuaded by Yin Haoyu? She thinks there are only small herbivores here. Besides, she has a gentle and kind personality, and as a teammate, she probably wouldn't let Yin Haoyu do all the work alone.'
'No way! I'm angry. I have a feeling they're going to get what's coming to them. If I were Qin Yan, I would never let him bring the moose home!'
"Really? I'd like to know, if Yin Haoyu insists on pulling the moose back by himself, what are your plans? Yin Haoyu is clearly determined; even if Qin Yan doesn't help, he'll definitely drag the things home by himself."
'Speechless. This Yin Haoyu is incredibly arrogant. It was the same when he was building the house, and it was the same when he used Qin Yan's disinfectant. I just wish he would withdraw from the competition on his own!'
'He may have flaws, but nobody's perfect. If he really retires, Qin Yan probably won't be able to handle him alone.'
That evening, Yin Haoyu and Qin Yan had a hearty meal of meat.
Qin Yan carefully covered the bloodstains left from the cutting with snow; however, the scent could not be covered.
After experiencing the disaster of having his food stolen by small animals climbing trees in the first season, Yin Haoyu has changed the location to store his food this time.
He dug a hole in the thick snow, surrounded it with branches, and made a makeshift refrigerator.
That night they also lit a big fire next to the 'refrigerator' to keep the small animals away.
However, the fire went out in the middle of the night, and the wild animals in the forest still came after smelling the fire.
So when Qin Yan and Yin Haoyu woke up the next morning, they found that their refrigerator had been completely ransacked!
Because Yin Haoyu cut the moose into small pieces, it became much easier for the small animals to take them.
Last night was a veritable buffet dinner for all the wild animals, big and small, that left their footprints on the ground.
Yin Haoyu was completely devastated, and Qin Yan didn't know what else to say to discourage him, so she could only comfort him by saying that they still had some bones and other parts left.
However, Yin Haoyu not only failed to appreciate Qin Yan's understanding, but his attitude towards her even worsened.
Because he always felt that Qin Yan was making fun of him.
He began to use passive-aggressive tactics on Qin Yan, and without telling her his plans, he left the camp with his bow and arrows.
Qin Yan told him to wait for her, but he ignored her.
In the end, Qin Yan chose to stay at the camp to repair the 'refrigerator'.
When the audience saw this scene, they couldn't help but greet Yin Haoyu.
'Why is he like this? He won't listen to advice and has such a bad temper. He's so petty.'
'I have a feeling this group won't last long; these two don't seem to click.'
'I also think that teamwork with the wrong teammates is a disaster.'
"Actually, I think it's alright. Even if they only have moose skeletons left, their food resources are still much more abundant than the other two groups. As long as Yin Haoyu doesn't cause any more trouble, I think they can last until the thirtieth day. I will still vote for them."
Many silent viewers clearly share this view, and this group remains firmly in first place.
