Liu Yuan sighed, "It won't survive."
Why?
"If we could get back to the airfield now, that would be fine, but we're still a long way from here. This little guy has been freezing for a day or two, and he probably won't make it through tonight."
"This... can we find a way to keep it alive? Look how pitiful it is. It's the last living member of its family. If it dies too, then its family will be left with no one."
Hearing Wang Tianxin say this, the three adults were also disheartened, but there was nothing they could do.
This wolf is really too small.
They haven't even gotten out of the basic adaptation period yet, and it seems impossible for them to survive.
"Brother, please think of something! You're good at everything, aren't you? Look how pitiful it is." Wang Tianxin had no choice but to look to his brother for help.
In his eyes, Wang Tianxiao was omnipotent and could handle anything.
Seeing his younger brother in this state, Wang Tianxiao felt a pang of sadness and couldn't bear to disappoint him any longer, so he said, "How about this, I'll give it a try, but I might not be able to save him."
"Uh-huh."
Wang Tianxin knew deep down that reviving this thing would definitely not be a simple matter.
They're just not giving up yet.
Teenagers' habits are generally very pure.
There is pure evil, and there is also pure good.
Since no one guided him towards goodness before, his evil took absolute power, and he eventually became a person despised by everyone.
Guided by Wang Tianxiao to do good throughout his life, kindness gradually became the essence of his character.
Therefore, it is perfectly normal to have such thoughts and actions.
Wang Tianxiao took out a water bottle from his backpack, then gently dissolved some of the glucose powder he had prepared for replenishing energy on the way into the water bottle lid, and gently placed the wolf cub's mouth into the glucose water.
The wolf cub can't drink yet, and we don't have a pacifier or anything like that, so we can't put it in its mouth. We can only try this for now.
At this point, all one can do is try their best; whether the little wolf survives depends on its own fate.
Perhaps it was the warmth, or perhaps it was the lack of food and water in a long time, but the little wolf was starving. It suddenly unleashed a potential that it didn't have at this time, sticking out its little tongue and slowly licking the cup lid a few times.
"Slurp slurp!"
"Brother, look, it's drinking."
Wang Tianxiao was also somewhat gratified. He thought that all of this wolf's brothers and sisters had frozen to death with their mother and had not survived the harsh environment. Only this wolf survived, which showed that its vitality was stronger than that of other wolf cubs.
It looks like it might survive.
"Every living thing has the desire to survive. Even if it's small, it's still a life. But being able to eat doesn't necessarily mean it will survive. Ultimately, it depends on how tenacious its vitality is."
“I believe he can do it. Look at him. His companions are all dead, and his parents are dead too. Only he is alive, which means he has a stronger will to live than his companions. I believe she will survive.”
Wang Tian smiled and said to his younger brother, "Then how about this, you take care of this little wolf. If he's still alive when we bring him back to the station, you can continue to care for him. Actually, wolves and dogs are pretty much the same; raising a wolf is just like raising a puppy."
However, a wolf is a wolf after all; its wild nature remains. If you keep it at the ranch, it will definitely have to be released back into the wild when it grows up. You need to be mentally prepared for that.”
"I understand," Wang Tianxin replied. He carefully placed the wolf cub in his arms. There was a pocket inside his clothes where he could put the cub in, which was warm and would at least prevent it from freezing to death.
"Alright, let's continue on our way."
Originally, we planned to rest for a while in Mengbaling, or if that didn't work out, just pitch a tent and stay overnight before leaving the next day.
But having reached this point, they found they still had some energy. After discussing it, they decided to continue forward, ideally heading directly to Yangziling, which would be relatively safer.
Unexpectedly, by walking and stopping like this, I walked all the way back to the depot in one go.
Only when we climbed onto the track did everyone truly relax.
Back at the depot, Wang Tianxiao originally intended to immediately take Xiong You to the hospital for Wu Wenhua, but found that Wu Wenhua had already been discharged and returned.
They said the arm is basically healing well. As for the frostbite, for now, all we can do is wait for the body to recover slowly and replace all the dead skin and necrotic muscle. There's no other way.
Wang Tianxiao then followed the folk remedy, slightly heating the bear oil (but not too hot) and gently rubbing it on the frostbitten areas of his arm, hoping that the frostbite would heal completely after a certain period of use.
When Wu Wenhua heard that Wang Tianxiao had gone all the way to hunt bears for him, he was so moved that he almost knelt down before Wang Tianxiao. If he were offered a contract of servitude at that moment, he probably would have signed it without hesitation.
Wang Tianxiao told him not to be so formal, since the injury was caused by him, and it was only right that he help him.
One thing at a time.
Having resolved the issue of Wu culture, Wang Tianxiao rested for two days before focusing all his efforts on solving the water pump problem.
The water supply in the first phase is basically fine now, meaning that the water source can be drawn from the valley to a point more than 70 meters down the mountainside.
However, the pump that was lifted from the mountainside has been making strange noises because the base was not properly leveled during installation.
Li, the engineer in charge of the project, believed it wouldn't affect usage, since it wouldn't be used all the time anyway.
However, Wang Tianxiao felt that this posed a huge safety hazard.
If the pump's foundation is uneven, the impeller will inevitably rub against the edge. Over time, this will not only damage the pump body but may also wear down the mechanical seal, leading to leaks.
