They hunted in the morning, ate lunch, and in the afternoon, Yezi went to dig a shelter pit, while Huang Jingyu fiddled around by the fire alone.
The shelter pit that Ye Zi dug this time is a five-meter by five-meter shelter pit, located behind the two shelters that were built earlier.
The two shelters previously had an open space of about three meters between them.
The front of the third shelter exactly covers this three-meter distance.
The outer walls of both shelters were covered with soil and leaves, leaving only about two meters of space for people to walk on.
These two meters are the only way to reach the camp open space from the third shelter.
The main purpose of doing this was for safety, since the third teammate was a girl with almost no ability to fight against wild beasts, while Ye Zi could easily hold those two meters with her combat power.
As long as these two meters are maintained, neither humans nor other animals will harm the people in the shelter.
When the time comes, Ye Zi will hold the line in front, engaging in close combat, while Huang Jingyu can fire arrows from the doorway, ensuring a safe outcome.
As for why the yellow whale was in the third shelter, it's actually quite simple: Leaf has a systematic reconnaissance function that constantly monitors the area within 500 miles of the camp.
If danger is detected, he can immediately notify the yellow whale to go to the sanctuary behind.
This means you've traveled to a parallel world. If this were a world of high-level martial arts, Ye Zi would be a tank warrior, Huang Jingyu would be an archer, and the last teammate, Tong Erya, would be a mage.
With this three-person team and this excellent position, they can take off as soon as there are monsters around.
But these are all just fantasies. However, Leaf is indeed a tank warrior, and Yellow Whale is indeed an archer. As for Er Ya, she can only rely on her eyes to deal damage.
After a day and a night of contact, Ye Zi was surprised to find that although Huang Jingyu was not as strong as him, his hands-on skills were no less than his.
In the afternoon, Ye Zi was digging a shelter pit. When it was getting dark, he had almost finished digging the pit, and Huang Jingyu called him to get ready for dinner.
As soon as Ye Zi got to the fire, she saw the fruits of Huang Jingyu's labor that afternoon.
A bundle of sixteen arrow shafts was neatly arranged to one side. Ye Zi picked one up and checked it. The groove for attaching the tail feathers had been prepared, and there was even a wire groove.
The other end, where the bone arrowhead is attached, is also ready. The bone arrowhead prepared by Ye Zi is inserted into the arrow shaft. The arrow shaft needs a certain amount of space in the middle, and the outside needs to be tied with thread to fix it.
And the yellow whale completed this task.
Not only that, but dinner was cooked, with two pheasants. This was normal, since the yellow whale had been eating roasted meat for three meals in a row since the first day it arrived at the survival area, so a change of food was understandable.
But Huangjingyu actually spent an afternoon not only making the arrow shaft, but also making a wooden spoon, two pairs of chopsticks, a wooden bowl, and even turning the half-finished wooden bowl that Yezi had made into a proper wooden bowl.
Although these wooden tableware and kitchen utensils are not yet smooth, they are already quite presentable.
The yellow whale's only tools were an axe, a military knife, and a stone.
Ye Zi silently gave a thumbs up to the smug-looking yellow whale.
The yellow whale grinned and said:
“I would only cause trouble for you if I went to dig the hole, so I didn’t go. But I can do this kind of handy work.”
I plan to get a few more plates and a spatula, and also a set of bowls and chopsticks for Er Ya before she comes.
There are also things like washbasins and wooden buckets that need to be prepared.
"I didn't realize you had this skill. If you didn't go into the entertainment industry, you could definitely be a good carpenter at home," Ye Zi teased.
"Absolutely."
Leaf extended his thumb again, and Yellow Whale casually said:
"There's nothing we can do about it. The production team doesn't allow many things to be brought in the first place, and even clothes take up a spot."
We're a little better off, but the girls take up five spots right away. Even if we run into some tough girls, they'll be in the same boat as us. It's such a rip-off.
As a great man once said, "Self-reliance leads to abundance," so we have no choice but to rely on ourselves.
Ye Zi nodded. Huang Jingyu's words resonated with all the contestants, especially the girls, and those who would be joining in a few days.
There were only five slots for tools, so we had to bring clothes and shoes. Once the slots were gone, we had to meet up with our teammates empty-handed.
Although girls need to be taken care of, this is wilderness survival, and it would be awkward to meet up empty-handed.
After complaining about the production team, Huang Jingyu picked up a spoon and muttered:
"High-end ingredients often require the simplest cooking methods."
The fresh pheasant, which I just got this morning, is simmered for an hour over a traditional fire with just-bubbling spring water and a pinch of salt.
Come on, friends, try Huang's Wild Chicken Soup.
After Huang Jingyu finished reciting, he handed a bowl of chicken soup to Ye Zi.
Ye Zi grinned, took it with both hands, and said:
"Thank you for your hospitality, my friend."
After saying that, he took a sip, closed his eyes, looking completely blissful, then opened his eyes and said:
"So delicious!"
"Hahaha." The two of them burst into laughter at the same time.
The two in Alaska were having dinner, chatting and laughing, while the viewers in the live stream were sending out tons of comments.
Huang Jingyu was already a popular celebrity, attracting a large audience. Coupled with his uninhibited jokes, some viewers even started ordering chicken soup to take home and enjoy.
Tong Erya watched the two of them joking around on the live stream with a smile on her face.
It is foreseeable that life in the wilderness after they reunite will not be boring, and food and safety will be guaranteed.
Some even look forward to joining the wilderness life in the future.
A pot of two pheasants, one leaf and one yellow whale per person, plus a bowl of chicken soup—this kind of meal is the ultimate luxury in the wilderness.
After the meal, Ye Zi took over the task of washing the pots and dishes, while Huang Jingyu picked up a half-finished wooden cup and continued to demonstrate his craftsmanship.
After washing the pot, Ye Zi filled another pot with water, boiled it, and let it cool before drinking.
After dark, Ye Zi carried boiling water, and Huang Jingyu carried the arrow shaft into the shelter.
The next step is to make arrows.
Select suitable chicken feathers, split them in the middle, and let the hollow feather shaft fit perfectly into the prepared tail feather groove. Then, secure them with thread.
Sixteen arrows. Fixing the fletchings doesn't take long; the most time-consuming part is selecting the fletchings.
After securing the fletching, the next step is to inlay the bone arrowhead. You don't need to choose one; just grab any and insert it into the shaft. Then, tie it tightly with thread.
Ye Zi originally planned to use leather cord, cutting and washing it as much as possible, to secure the fletching and arrowhead.
But with the bag for carrying the solar lights brought by the yellow whale, that's much less of a hassle.
Fortunately, there was that bag; otherwise, it would have taken Ye Zi much longer to make the arrows.
After preparing the arrows, Ye Zi picked one up, placed it on the bowstring, gently pulled the bowstring, and then released it.
The newly made arrows were stuck directly into the wall.
