Hopefully it’s not one with a huge range. What I fear most is being eaten by a bald eagle or a raven here— then there’d be nothing I could do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he continued forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he drew closer to the locator’s position, the surrounding environment changed noticeably. Rivers branched into numerous ice gullies, ice fissures, and shallow banks, all buried under thick snow, littered with mud, sand, and rotting leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stretching into the distance, endless rows of coniferous forests rose and fell in unbroken waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This appears to be the river mouth of Atlin Lake— look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drone flew out, circling the area to capture the entire terrain. Compared to the faint signs of life still present in the forest, this river mouth had none— only frozen, rigid dead branches and tree roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closer he got to the river mouth, the more tilted trees he saw, with tangled, raised root systems and low shrubs hugging the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The locator’s position was still over two kilometers ahead, deeper into the terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun had no time to waste. He crossed this lifeless black-and-white world and hurried inside— walking for half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he removed his snowboards and crouched on a raised patch of ground, staring at a cave not far off, his expression turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drone lay beside him, its propellers still, its lens fixed on the cave entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the cave, a massive creature sat slumped on the ground, its body as large as a small hill. Its fur, a dark brown streaked with silver-gray, was thick and disheveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its head was broad, its snout long and coarse, its face sunken, with small eyes hidden deep within— it was unmistakably a brown bear that had awoken prematurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by its build, it had clearly entered hibernation in peak condition, still appearing heavily muscled. Its shoulders rose in towering ridges of muscle; its limbs were short and thick, radiating immense power. Merely sitting there, it exuded terrifying pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun swallowed hard, lowering his voice: “Fuck, did I get lucky? A brown bear ate my key?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Douyin livestream, netizens erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Ye’s wilderness survival is over— terrible luck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, a brown bear? Even tigers would avoid this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is terrifying— Qin Ye, run fast, your life matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bad luck, but maybe wait till the bear defecates? Maybe it’ll poop out the key? Then Qin Ye can search for it in shit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fucking shit-search for a key.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On TikTok, everyone watching this scene was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jesus, this is horrifying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What will Qin do? Give up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I came here for Qin— if this ends like this, it’s too unlucky.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What else can he do? Charge the bear and die?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the production camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George’s face was grim; he glanced subtly at Daniel. Daniel, as if sensing it, turned his head— his expression blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George sighed. So far, Qin Yun’s failure wasn’t due to lack of effort— but it was a disgrace to the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nasty politics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel was equally helpless, but to him, one contestant’s success or failure wasn’t worth risking— so he complied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the main screen, Qin Yun’s Channel 32 livestream remained isolated. All crew members at the camp watched this moment— backend data showed nearly ninety percent of viewers had switched from other channels to Channel 32.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone waited for Qin Yun’s decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun pulled his head back, frowning at the camera, hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his hesitation wasn’t about the audience’s thoughts— it was whether to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the livestream viewers knew his thought, they’d think he’d lost his mind. Look at that bear in the frame— massive, surely over four hundred pounds, standing over 2.7 meters tall— to humans, it was a giant beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At close range, even with Truth in hand, he’d likely be crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a terrifying giant— Qin Yun actually wanted to attack? What else could this be but madness?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Qin Yun’s idea wasn’t baseless— he had a real, actionable plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hand-to-hand combat was impossible. He was human, not a superhero. No matter how much his strength increased, it could never surpass the bear’s— this was a species limit, dictated by genes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was also a legendary wilderness hunter with master-level archery skills. Combined, they might still offer a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only question: could his bow and arrow pierce this bear’s hide? If the arrow couldn’t even break the skin, what was the point? Just end the survival now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But based on his estimate, his hunting bow had decent power. Though the bear had thick hide and fat, it wasn’t impossible to penetrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Friends,” Qin Yun made his decision, leaned forward again, and stared at the bear at the cave entrance, “If I just give up now, I can’t accept it. So I’m going to challenge this bear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Win, I take the key and search for the treasure chest. Lose, I retreat into the forest and press the distress button— end this wilderness journey.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his words, every viewer in the livestream froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the fuck— did I hear that right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is Qin Ye going to go all out? Kill this bear?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit, Qin Ye, your life matters!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The bear’s arm is thicker than your waist— what the hell are you going to use?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s over— Qin Ye’s lost his mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overseas, hearing this, viewers were equally stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to domestic netizens, who rarely saw wild animals, foreigners were more familiar with them. Many had personally experienced the terror of lions, tigers, and bears— that icy, chilling presence, where merely standing before one required immense courage, let alone fighting with a knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t an animal a single human could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purely as a solitary creature, humans didn’t even rank on the scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear was instinct. Giving up wasn’t shameful— especially against an adult brown bear. So overseas viewers couldn’t understand Qin Yun’s decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are Chinese people’s guts made of stone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Terrifying Chinese— I’ll be extra polite if I ever meet one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too brave, Jesus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe Qin’s just bluffing— then he’ll run.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, guy above, go try ‘bluffing’ yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun took a deep breath. Facing such a giant, this distance was useless— his arrow’s lethal range had to be within fifteen meters, or it’d have zero penetration power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fifteen meters was nearly instantaneous for a brown bear’s speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To inflict damage, he had to get close— but getting close meant death. It was a cruel contradiction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m currently on a slope about fifty meters from the bear. I need to lure it closer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun stood up, restarted the drone’s propellers, and it whirred into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the bear at the cave entrance immediately sensed the disturbance. It lifted its head, alert, staring toward Qin Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, it rose fully upright— its height of two to three meters like a towering mountain, fur bristling, radiating foul rage as it let out a terrifying roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“ROAR—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then its paws hit the ground, legs moving like a mountain in motion, its massive body exploding forward with unimaginable speed— faster than Bolt, impossible to believe it came from such a huge bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun’s expression was grim, his gaze locked on the bear, fearless— yet he still felt the crushing pressure of its charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The action camera was fixed on the bear; the drone captured the entire scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Suicide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamamoto Kazusuke, watching, sneered, eagerly awaiting the moment the bear crushed Qin Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other contestants wore varied expressions— some worried, others gleeful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty meters— for a human, five seconds to cover. For a brown bear, three seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun nocked an arrow, drew his bow, breath steady, aiming at the bear’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The bear’s speed is around 55 km\u002Fh. In a straight line, I’m no match.” He remained calm as an old dog, “But this is a forest— for me, it’s both advantage and disadvantage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the bear closed to fifteen meters— its massive paws and terrifying face nearly within reach. Every viewer in the livestream held their breath, staring in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, calling for rescue would be useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would the biggest surprise of this season’s survival end in death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the production camp, all crew members tensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, they could do nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Swoosh—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrow became a streak of lightning, slicing through the cold air, instantly striking the bear’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pthsh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear instantly felt the sting— it roared louder, its furious bellow mingling with thunderous footfalls, as if the forest itself trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun fired, then turned and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear’s thickest area was its shoulders and back; next was its neck. Though the neck was a vital spot, its fat layer was also thickest. Qin Yun aimed here to test how much damage this arrow could inflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was clear: though the fat hadn’t been pierced, the blood spurting out told him his plan wasn’t impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now— escape first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drone ascended high above, tracking closely, framing the man and the bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun ran fast— he unleashed his full legendary wilderness hunter’s skill, each footstep precisely landing on solid ground, generating maximum recoil. In an instant, his speed reached its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as he fled, he kept talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My bow comes with nine arrows total. I’ve fired one already— eight left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all just saw it— at such close range, I still didn’t inflict any real damage, so every arrow I shoot must count, or it’s a waste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the time it took him to speak, he had run another hundred meters; behind him, the brown bear didn’t even dodge the small trees, barreling straight through like a bulldozer, terrifying in its force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this slowed the bear down considerably, giving Qin Yun no fear of being caught too soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shh—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stamped on a rock, leaping into the air, twisting his body mid-flight, drawing his bow and loosing an arrow straight at the bear’s eye—his motion seamless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the running grizzly was not a stationary target; the arrow veered off course, grazing its scalp as it slid past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun landed hard, then surged forward again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven arrows left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The violently shaking footage from the action camera intensified the tension, making viewers feel as if they could barely breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Hangzhou, Su Huan had turned completely pale, her body drained of all strength, staring blankly at her phone, eyes slightly red, utterly lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brown bear, provoked repeatedly, had gone utterly mad; the two-legged creature ahead had enraged it beyond reason—it would crush every bone, devour every scrap of flesh and bone whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, return to its cave and sleep soundly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the livestream, everyone watched Qin Yun—but not a trace of fear showed on his face. At this moment, viewers from the other nine livestreams had all vanished, streaming en masse into Room 32.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To miss such a once-in-a-century spectacle would be an unforgivable tragedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Qin Yun was killed or the bear gave up, this moment would be etched into the annals of wilderness survival.\u003C\u002Fp>",1929,"2026-06-20T21:37:28.858Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","cb2e9e5820a220910c7d245f8fdba9a9bf454e5f7964ec59bf67e305ca44b58c","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-190","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-188",329,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-cover.jpg"]
