The remaining groups of contestants realized that the weather was a bit off and immediately got busy.
It all feels like a last-minute effort.
Those contestants who had no food reserves were now in a panic.
Time also passes by second by second.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
However, as expected, the rain did not fall, but the weather remained terribly gloomy.
On Chen Fan and Liu Feifei's side, the fireplace is almost finished.
The firewood has all been chopped into sections and placed inside the shelter!
The fire was successfully moved into the fireplace, so that even if it rained, it wouldn't affect them at all.
The meat from the black bear they captured a few days ago is enough to last them a month.
Moreover, they still have a lot of starch.
Even if this rain lasts the longest, it will not pose any threat to their survival.
"Chen Fan, why hasn't it started raining yet? Has it stopped raining?"
"I remember the last time it rained, it was very sudden; the weather changed and it started raining not long after."
"This time it actually took so long to prepare!"
After everything was settled, Liu Feifei went outside to take a look. Although the weather was terribly gloomy, it hadn't rained yet.
She even suspected that today's rain might be a bluff.
It might not even rain at all.
"Wouldn't it be better if it didn't rain?"
"Everything we just did was simply to prevent problems from happening in the first place."
"However, judging from the current situation, it will definitely rain, but it won't be a downpour or thunderstorm; it's more likely to be continuous rainfall."
Chen Fan said with a smile.
Of course, it would be best if it didn't rain.
No wilderness survivor wants it to rain during their survival journey.
But that's impossible.
Especially on an island like this, it should be the rainy season by now.
There will be plenty of rain for a long time to come.
Previously, the rain was characterized by sudden showers and downpours; now, it may be a continuous, drizzling rain.
The longer the buildup, the longer the rain may last.
"oh oh!"
Liu Feifei nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Then he laughed and said, "Forget it, who cares if it rains or not! We've made such thorough preparations, even if it rains for ten days or more, it won't affect us."
It was almost midnight.
However, Chen Fan and Liu Feifei were not sleepy at all.
It seems like the rain won't come tonight, and I might not even be able to sleep soundly.
rustling...
Half an hour later, a slow, rustling sound suddenly came from outside.
The sound was familiar; it was the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves.
"It's raining!! It's finally raining."
Upon hearing the noise outside, Liu Feifei and Zhang Xiaotong quickly went to the balcony.
Sure enough, you could faintly see the reflection of raindrops on the leaves.
"I wonder how the other contestants are doing..."
Listening to the patter of raindrops, Liu Feifei said softly.
According to Zhang Xiaotong, there are not many contestants left out of the original twenty groups.
If this rain is a continuous downpour, then some more contestants may be eliminated.
Take Zhao Xiaodao and Guo Yan, for example...
Both of them were girls, and neither of them had much experience in wilderness survival.
The reason they've been able to hold on until now is mainly due to the rope traps Chen Fan left for them.
However, the number of prey caught by such traps each day is limited.
Therefore, it's simply impossible to store too much food...
If this rain continues for ten days, Zhao Xiaodao and Guo Yan will inevitably be eliminated.
"I don't know!!"
"However, one thing is certain: they definitely don't have me."
"We are so well prepared."
Zhang Xiaotong said with a smile.
Wang Jie and Xie Ming are definitely not as lucky as I am.
"You two, stop standing outside and come inside to sleep!"
At that moment, Chen Fan called out from inside the house.
Finally, the rain came, and the three of them quickly fell asleep.
Because of the fireplace in the room, I didn't feel cold even when the temperature dropped.
It was actually much more comfortable than usual.
Chen Fan would get up every few hours to check on the fireplace.
After all, their shelter was entirely made of bamboo. Although he had covered the bamboo with a thick layer of mud, he still had to be very careful.
If something unexpected happens, that would be a real problem.
Three people might turn into Barbie Q!!
...
The rain lasted all night.
The next morning, the rain showed no signs of letting up.
At this moment, Chen Fan also woke up.
After checking the room, there was no sign of any leaks.
This shows that the shelter was more effective at keeping out the rain than he had imagined.
"It seems that the shelter is perfectly fine, and there are no problems with the fireplace either."
"And the room was indeed very warm last night, which is one of the benefits of a fireplace."
After getting up, Chen Fan was very satisfied with the shelter he had built and the fireplace that had just been constructed the night before.
More importantly, the fireplace is well-sealed, and there wasn't much smoke smell at night.
If the seal is not good and the smoke is too strong, carbon monoxide poisoning may occur...
After getting up, Chen Fan went outside to collect some rainwater.
Then heat it on the fireplace and bring it to a boil in a pot.
Rainwater is generally not drinkable.
Because rainwater may mix with dust and bacteria from the air as it falls.
However, after being boiled at high temperatures and then allowed to settle, it is perfectly safe to drink.
Half an hour later, Chen Fan also finished washing up!
Next, it's time to prepare breakfast...
Boil some bear meat and add some wild mushrooms.
This is the simplest breakfast.
It's currently unknown how long this rain will last, so it's best to eat sparingly.
While you can still succeed at hunting in the rain, the success rate will drop significantly.
Moreover, getting caught in the rain and catching a cold is something no athlete wants to see.
After making breakfast, Liu Feifei and Zhang Xiaotong woke up.
"Huh?! Is it still raining?"
"It smells so good! Chen Fan has made breakfast again."
Upon smelling the aroma of the meat, the two immediately gathered around.
Liu Feifei, on the other hand, was more direct and gave Chen Fan a big kiss on the cheek.
He said with a grin, "Thank you!!"
"It's a pleasure to serve you..."
Chen Fan returned the gesture by kissing Liu Feifei's red lips.
This display of affection almost choked Zhang Xiaotong, who was standing nearby.
