Ten days after Grandpa Yun passed away, even though everyone was worried, he consistently responded with "I'm fine" in real life.
However, Grandpa Yun's departure didn't have a significant impact on the camp. He had completed all the tasks he could before leaving.
However, Grandpa Yun's capricious departure also stirred up a small wave of departures within the camp.
Several residents are also planning a spontaneous trip.
However, they did not keep it a secret from everyone, but discussed it openly. Even some of the older residents of the area were tempted, including Tang Jiaqi and Wang Qin, and they were the only two to actually implement it.
However, only the two of them actually carried it out.
These two young women are veterans of the micro-world, with extensive experience, and they are confident in their ability to survive.
However, they were really unlucky. The very next day, they encountered a brown bear that was storing food for hibernation. If they hadn't been experienced, they would have surely fallen to the bear's claws.
However, Wang Qin's thigh was still injured. If Chen Yang hadn't received the news and arrived in time with Lini on his Night Wind motorcycle, the wound would have been highly likely to have become infected or frostbitten. The medicine they were carrying was also damaged while they were trying to avoid the brown bear.
Wang Bing gave Wang Qin a good scolding, then tenderly stayed by her bedside to take care of her. He personally brewed and served her medicine, and even cooked some nutritious porridge under Lini's guidance.
Tang Jiaqi, who was usually prone to acting erratically, was unusually quiet. This real life-or-death crisis had clearly taken a toll on him.
The two men's experience also deterred other potential rebels from taking action.
Finally, Chen Yang stepped forward and said to everyone, "If you have any plans to travel like this in the future, please let us know in advance. I will have Jack give you some wilderness survival training. I neither oppose nor support such activities. It's nice to experience freedom occasionally, but I hope you will deal with it rationally."
“That’s right, I’m the one who taught him a lesson.” Wang Qin said with a grin in the group chat, and then summoned Wang Bing to give him a lecture.
Wang Qin and Tang Jiaqi were both veteran residents of the New Territories. Although they were both girls, the New Territories residents knew that they were not delicate women. In front of a brown bear, there was little difference between men and women; it was all a matter of a slap.
Everyone has been living in the camp, with Chen Yang, the big boss, guarding it. The camp also keeps wild beasts such as bears, tigers, and leopards. When they go out to play through the Four Directions Gate, these creatures follow them. This has made the people of the realm less respectful of nature.
This incident also made the inhabitants realize that nature still deserves reverence. Humans are the only creatures capable of conquering nature, but nature still has aspects worthy of our respect.
"I killed a bear the day before yesterday. I was going to let it go, but it went berserk and tried to kill me. I had no choice but to kill it. The bear was too big for me to eat, so I took its paws and skin. There seems to be a pack of wolves nearby, so I can feed them to the wolf cubs," the old man suddenly said in the group chat.
The group chat suddenly fell silent.
“That’s too cruel and inhumane, but… the old man is awesome!!!” Ye Wu replied.
"The old man is awesome!!!"
"The old man is awesome!!!"
"The old man is awesome!!!"
…………
The screen was filled with images of the old man's imposing presence, and even Yun Shi joined in the fun.
"Dad, could you leave me some bear skin?" Yun Hu asked shamelessly.
"I was planning to use it as a blanket for my grandson, so I'll give you the scraps I cut out."
“Okay, okay, this is enough to make a scarf,” Yun Hu said happily.
Bear pelts are a rare sight at the camp. Besides domesticated animals, the most common pelts are wolf pelts, followed by hyena pelts, and then tiger and bear pelts.
It's worth mentioning that they also had a trench coat made from polar bear skin.
However, the polar bear was not killed by them, but by the Snow Clan during a hunt.
Yunhu would be very satisfied if he could get some bear skin from the old man to make a scarf.
Grandpa Yun is still quite capable; despite his advanced age, he managed to kill a bear. That bear brought it upon itself.
Bears are not a large number of creatures, and people generally don't hunt them when they encounter them. However, if a bear is courting death and relentlessly pursues you, then you can't blame anyone else, since in the human world, human life is of paramount importance.
Grandpa Yun finally gave a brief explanation of where he was.
Today, he finally reached an area on the Loess Plateau that they had never explored before.
It turns out that in the eastern part of the Loess Plateau, there is also a mountain range, like an extension of the Tianyin Mountains, but the climate is completely different. It is similar to the climate of the Loess Plateau, extremely desolate, with continuous mountain peaks where even a single green tree is rarely seen.
Although it is winter now, the fact that this mountain is so barren still proves that the climate here must be extremely desolate.
Many regions are known as "no-man's-land," where only a handful of animals can survive, let alone humans. While animals can survive in some extreme environments, humans often struggle to do so.
However, Grandpa Yun still resolutely entered this area.
He only briefly described the situation of this desolate mountain range, without telling everyone just how desolate it was. Its dryness was comparable to that of a desert, and the temperature difference between day and night was extreme. Fortunately, the old man had a bear skin. He made a frame out of branches, nailed the bear skin to it, and carried it on his back as they moved forward.
In this environment, bear skins dry much faster, but at the cost of increased wind resistance, making it more difficult to move forward.
"It feels so good, like my body has returned to what it was ten years ago."
Grandpa Yun felt actually quite happy as he braved the wind to move forward.
Since entering the Micro Realm, although he has aged, his health has improved, especially after the emergence and upgrade of spiritual energy. Now, Grandpa Yun's health is almost the same as it was ten years ago.
Grandpa Yun, full of vigor, strode forward across the dry, reddish-yellow earth, when a gust of wind blew him away.
The bearskin spread out behind him looked just like a kite.
The old man had no choice but to find a sunny spot where the north wind was blowing to dry the bear skin, while he went to look for water and prey.
In a place like this, water is the most important thing. The bear meat on the old man's body could easily last him for more than ten days. If he could carry it, one bear would be enough for him to eat for a whole winter.
Finding water in such a place is incredibly difficult. The old man walked for half a day and only found a rock wall that was slowly dripping water. The speed was really slow.
There was a small puddle on the rock face, and the old man drank it all in one gulp. Compared to the water he had consumed, this little bit of water was not enough to replenish it, but a smile still appeared on his aged face, a very pure and content smile.
The old man used his personal rope to hang it on a grass root on the rock face, with one end of the rope hanging down into his water bag. To prevent animals from stealing water, he also tied the mouth of the water bag shut.
The rope will absorb water on its own and then seep into the water bladder. I just hope the water bladder will be full when I come back tomorrow.
The old man went back to the spot where he had been drying the bear skin, only to find that the stone he had been using to support it had been moved by some animal. The bear skin had flown to another spot, and there were hoof prints all around, probably from some kind of herbivore. Anything capable of moving a stone would have to be either horned or a large animal like a cow.
As long as they're not carnivores, that's fine.
The old man started a fire with a flint and steel, wrapped himself in the still-dry bearskin, and fell asleep by the fire. Although he slept restlessly, he had sweet dreams.
