After a simple dinner, Chen Fan lay down in the shelter to rest.
Old Bai was quite sensible and simply lay down outside the shelter.
Although it was freezing cold outside, it clearly knew that its owner lived inside, and it was only entitled to lie outside.
Being able to get a bite of food in this near-death situation is already a gift from heaven.
Without Chen Fan's generous donation, it might have starved to death in just a few days.
...
Nothing was said that night, and the wind howled outside the shelter.
Chen Fan, however, slept very soundly inside.
He slept straight through until the next morning. When the light shone into the shelter through the crack in the door, Chen Fan stretched and sat up.
"Ah!! Another comfortable day."
"It feels so good to get a good night's sleep after a day of work."
After stretching, Chen Fan felt incredibly refreshed.
After stepping out of the room, I saw Old Bai shivering from the cold.
At this point, even the hairs on the tip of the nose had formed clearly visible icicles, which was enough to prove how cold the weather in the Arctic was.
"You've worked hard, Lao Bai. Go and rest in the shelter; it's warmer inside."
Chen Fan kicked Lao Bai in the butt, then said in a relatively gentle voice.
Now that I've decided to make Old White my pet, I should naturally treat him a little better.
In this wilderness, survival posed no challenge for him.
The only thing that is hard to overcome is loneliness.
"Woo??"
Old Bai stared at Chen Fan in astonishment, even wondering if there was something wrong with his ears.
Or perhaps they misunderstood Chen Fan's meaning.
"Go inside and warm up for a while. You're not getting any younger. If you catch a cold, I'll be left without any companions."
Chen Fan continued speaking.
After Chen Fan finished speaking, Lao Bai seemed to understand what Chen Fan meant.
Then he happily trotted into the shelter.
After a quick wash, Chen Fan began his work for the day.
Yesterday, the four walls of the shelter were almost finished. Today, as long as the roof is completed, the shelter will be a great success.
This speed absolutely crushes the other competitors.
At the same time, the quality is absolutely top-notch.
...
Time flies by.
And it's on the other players' side.
Some athletes from Europe and America are physically strong and have a certain understanding of Arctic survival.
So when she was invited by the program team, she started to accumulate a lot of fat and then endured it for a while.
Now the fat has indeed had some effect.
Some people have stayed inside the tarpaulin since arriving on the island and haven't gone out, yet they are still living a vibrant and healthy life.
However, athletes from some South Korean and island nations are not so comfortable now.
I wasn't storing up fat in advance.
Moreover, their hunting and survival skills are relatively weak, and coupled with the fact that they have little experience with such an extremely cold environment.
So right now, they can only huddle in the small shelter, shivering from the cold.
It's estimated that it will be completely eliminated in just a few days.
Although Ed Stafford and Bear Grylls are top predators, they had even survived in the Arctic before the show started.
Therefore, they have relatively rich experience in this area.
Even so, their situation is still not particularly optimistic.
Especially Ed Stafford, whose personality and practical skills are not as good as Bear Grylls'. Under these circumstances, he still chose the passive skill of going hungry for three days and nine meals a day a few days ago.
"Oh no!! This can't go on any longer. In such cold conditions, the body's heat and energy are being consumed very quickly."
“In the past, with my physical condition, I could easily go hungry for a week without any problem, but in this environment, I probably wouldn’t be able to stand it for another two or three days.”
We have to go out and find food.
At this moment, Ed was in his temporary shelter, and an anxious look appeared on his face.
He has been busy building a shelter these past few days, because in the frigid Arctic, a shelter is extremely important for survivors.
Therefore, in the past few days, he has only set up a simple shelter.
The warmth retention effect is not very good.
I recently tried to start a fire by rubbing sticks together, but I failed several times.
They were already starving, so they had no choice but to go out and find food.
After quickly tidying up his tools, Ed stepped out of his comfort zone and began setting traps.
Since the survival tools we chose earlier included wire, we can use that wire to set up some snare traps.
If they could catch a pheasant or a rabbit, they could at least keep him going for a few more days.
In comparison, Bear Grylls' situation is much better.
Because his physique and manual dexterity were already superior to Ed Stafford's.
Especially in terms of short-term action skills, among all the survival players, probably only Chen Fan can rival him.
Over the past few days, he not only set up a temporary shelter, but also successfully started a fire using a bow drill.
By setting some traps, they also caught a few squirrels as food.
Even so, their survival progress is incomparable to Chen Fan's.
Even the viewers in the live stream were starting to feel worried for the two of them.
I originally thought that although Chen Fan was strong, he was at most at the level of Ed and Bear Grylls.
However, after these few days of survival, audiences from various countries have clearly realized that even Ed Stafford and Bear Grylls, who stand at the top of the food chain, are completely insignificant in front of Chen Fan.
The three individuals' survival progress is on completely different levels.
"Holy crap!! Isn't Bear Grylls supposed to be a real man at the top of the food chain? How come he's become so weak and helpless? He's only caught a few squirrels in three days."
"Yeah! I always thought Bear Grylls was the toughest man, but now it seems that title should go to Chen Fan."
"Speaking of which, that contestant from the Dragon Kingdom is really strong. Not only did he hunt a reindeer, but he has also tamed a wolf. If we consider the wolf as a backup food source, this guy is already at the forefront of all the contestants."
"Of course, what do you think? Chen Fan's strength far surpasses that of the so-called 'Master Ed' and 'Master Bear'. They're not even on the same level."
"Tch!! Although that's the truth, the arrogant attitude of Chinese netizens is really unbearable."
