The millions of viewers in the live stream were completely baffled.
Isn't it said that wild bees are very irritable?
Why were they so docile when Chen Fan held them in his hands, with not even a single bee flying off?
Could it be that Chen Fan has some kind of secret relationship with the bees?
Despite their doubts, most people greatly admired Chen Fan's courage.
After all, if we put ourselves in their shoes, they would never dare to do such a risky thing in wilderness survival.
If you are accidentally stung by a bee, the risk factor is quite high.
Even if there's no immediate danger to their lives, they'll have to endure the pain themselves, and there's a real possibility of being eliminated.
...
While the viewers in the live stream were still in a daze.
Chen Fan has already divided the beehive in two.
The honey mainly accumulates in the top part of the honeycomb!
The row hanging below already contains some baby bees and drones...
Therefore, Chen Fan used two tree branches to pierce and fix this part to the tree branch.
In this way, the bees won't run away and will continue to work diligently building their nests here.
Actually, baby bees are edible.
Simply grill it over a fire, and it becomes incredibly crispy, tastes like chicken, and has ten times the protein of beef.
It is indeed a rare delicacy!
This practice does exist in some regions.
However, in order to be able to eat honey in the future, Chen Fan naturally wouldn't do such a thing.
Moreover, they now have plenty of protein, so there's no need for them to eat bee pupae and baby bees.
After settling the bees back in place, Chen Fan returned to Liu Feifei.
"Look, this whole bunch of honeycomb is full of honey. It should last us a long time."
Chen Fan also showed Liu Feifei what he had just gained.
Through the small holes in the honeycomb, you can see the crystal-clear honey, which makes your mouth water just looking at it.
"You...you're incredibly audacious!"
"Tell me honestly, do you have some kind of shady relationship with those wild bees from earlier?"
"Otherwise, why didn't any of those bees sting you?"
Liu Feifei was really confused as to why so many bees didn't sting Chen Fan.
Does being handsome mean even animals will give you face?
"Haha! If we're talking about a secret, special relationship, would you believe me if I said I studied the structure of the character '昆' with them?"
Seeing Liu Feifei's serious expression, Chen Fan chuckled and teased her.
Many city dwellers may indeed find bees to be aggressive and dare not approach them.
However, Chen Fan, who grew up in the countryside, was quite familiar with the habits of these bees.
Of course, some bees are indeed extremely aggressive!
For example, with wasps, if you get close to their hive, you'll be chased and stung...
It even felt like a fight to the death!
"The structure of the character '昆'?"
"Hey you, we were having a nice chat, why did you go on the highway again?"
"Aren't you afraid of crashing if you keep speeding like this?"
At first, Liu Feifei didn't realize what was going on, but after seeing Chen Fan's sly smile, she immediately understood.
The structure of the character "昆"!
If you read it separately, isn't it just "日比" (ri bi)?
This guy, I don't know where he learned such strange knowledge.
"Don't worry about that! I'm the racing god of Mount Akina."
"There's no such thing as a rollover..."
Chen Fan smiled, then found a few broad leaves nearby, added honey, and wrapped them up.
Honey is extremely valuable to them nowadays, and even the honeycomb has many uses.
"Let's go back."
After finishing their preparations, Chen Fan and Liu Feifei headed towards the lake.
Today's harvest was quite good; first, we found a mango tree.
Another beehive has been discovered!
Mango trees and beehives provide them with a continuous supply of sugar.
It seems that the resources in this area are indeed much better than those at the shelter.
This further solidified Chen Fan's determination to move...
...
When they returned, they did not follow the same route.
Instead, they took a longer route because by taking different routes, they were more likely to find a wider variety of survival supplies.
After walking for just over half an hour, Chen Fan suddenly made a new discovery.
A small bamboo grove came into view.
Bamboo—this was something he had longed for ever since he arrived on the island.
Bamboo is known as the hardware store of the wilderness; its uses are truly immense.
It can be used to build shelters, make tables, chairs, benches, and even cups.
"It's a bamboo forest! Great! We've finally found bamboo!"
Looking at the bamboo grove in front of him, although it wasn't very large, Chen Fan was already overjoyed.
With these bamboos, it will be much easier to build a shelter again in the future.
Moreover, he desperately needs bamboo right now.
He was worried about not having a container to hold the honey he was going to extract later!
But now that we have bamboo, the problem is easily solved.
"Chen Fan, do you think there might be bamboo shoots in this bamboo forest?"
"We have honey now, so we can make honey-glazed bamboo shoots, and I think we can also make stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat..."
Looking at the bamboo forest in front of her, Liu Feifei also spoke up.
Bamboo shoots taste really good, and they are also very nutritious and have a great texture.
If you add honey, the flavor will definitely be even more perfect.
"I don't know, let's look for it later! We should be able to find it."
Chen Fan first shook his head, then smiled and said.
After unloading their baskets, the two began to work.
Chen Fan was responsible for selecting some thicker bamboo to take back, while Liu Feifei was responsible for finding bamboo shoots.
In no time, Chen Fan had already cut down ten bamboo stalks.
Fresh bamboo is quite heavy, and Chen Fan had chosen the very first ones.
However, compared to ten logs, the weight difference is far greater!
Liu Feifei also quickly made new gains.
Using a military shovel, I dug up a total of seven bamboo shoots!
"Chen Fan, you'll see how many bamboo shoots I dug up."
"We can have stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork when we get home tonight..."
Liu Feifei excitedly ran over to Chen Fan to show off her achievements.
"Yes, not bad, not bad. We're really lucky today."
"I never expected to gain so much..."
Chen Fan was extremely satisfied with what he had accomplished today.
After all, today has definitely been the most fruitful day so far.
Moreover, today's discoveries are all sustainable resources, which can ensure that they can survive here for a longer period of time.
"Alright! Let's hurry back, I'm a little hungry."
After carrying the basket on his back, Chen Fan also carried bamboo on his shoulder. The weight was manageable and well within his capacity.
...
Two hours later, the two finally returned to the temporary shelter.
"Ah!! I'm so tired, my legs feel like they're going to break."
Liu Feifei climbed directly onto the hammock and vigorously massaged her legs.
I walked way too much today, and my stomach has been growling for a while now.
