For instance, the spot he was digging now: though knowledge suggested a high probability of water, there was still a significant chance of finding nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, guided by the instinct of a Wilderness Hunter, as if some unseen force whispered to him, this place held exactly what he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dug half a meter deep, and the soil gradually grew damp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile spread across Qin Yun’s face. He guided the drone closer and pointed down, laughing: “Look, water’s coming up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, he kept digging hard, singing as he worked—his singing was terrible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ten meters from the lake, avoid the white salt flats; dig two or three feet deep, turn rough sand into clear pools; filter salt and alkali through sand, drink safely, oh la la la…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The livestream audience stared in stunned silence, then typed comments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, that’s the worst singing ever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m gonna puke!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That ditty is unbearable—Qin Ye , shut your mouth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“666.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s Qin singing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Online viewers, domestic and international, now unanimously agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, gray water gushed from underground, filling nearly half the pit within moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, he unfastened his waist water flask, unscrewed the cap, and took a deep gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drinking, he wiped his mouth and faced the camera: “Besides avoiding threats from animals, every day I must solve my hydration and trace mineral needs—salt, vitamin C, and so on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shrugged: “I’m staying here twenty days. Without consistent replenishment of essentials, I won’t last.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun grew fiercer, beads of sweat clearly visible on Qin Yun’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited for the pit water to settle for about fifteen minutes, then carefully scooped some—tasted it first, confirmed no issues, then filled his flask with confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even just the top layer of this pit yielded more than enough to fill a 500ml flask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After refilling his flask, Qin Yun prepared to set off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he left…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since I’m here, I plan to take some local specialties with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, he crouched low and slipped toward the northern shore of the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his posture, the audience instantly grew curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s Qin Ye  doing now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That sneaky look? Some animal’s gonna get screwed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The viewers weren’t wrong. Soon, Qin Yun appeared at the lake’s shallow edge, searching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See those flamingos and white pelicans? Their nests must be here. Since I’m here, not taking some eggs would be a waste.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brightened, stepped forward, and spotted a nest—four eggs piled inside, each about ten centimeters across, similar to goose eggs, pale yellow-brown in color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Ye  actually found them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“666, what kind of eggs are these? So big?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun picked one up, hefted it, and grinned: “These are white pelican eggs—about two hundred grams each. Four of these will give me plenty of protein.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he collected all four eggs and kept searching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, his arms were full—twelve eggs total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Friends, from Ndutu Lake to the Malahe Delta is over five hundred kilometers. Distance-wise, it’s not far, but traveling here is harder than on the Xinjiang-Tibet Highway. I can’t just sprint straight toward my goal—that’s impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everywhere across the Serengeti is danger. If I don’t move step by step, stay cautious, I won’t last three days. Danger is the biggest obstacle to my speed—second only to the environment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daytime temperatures on the Serengeti this season hover around 36°C, peaking at 40°C. My progress is severely limited by water—my flask holds only 500ml. Distance isn’t my main concern; water is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I can advance twenty to thirty kilometers daily and reliably secure my external supplies, I’ll be fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Qin Yun moved northeast along the lakeshore, occasionally pausing to collect suitable stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking over an hour, he gradually left Ndutu Lake behind. His vigilance visibly increased. The drone’s secondary camera hovered at a safe altitude, scanning the surroundings for any threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the sun climbed higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wiping sweat from his brow, Qin Yun felt his head was about to steam under his hat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guys, the sun near the equator is brutal. No wonder Africans are so dark.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft… damn, are Africans black because they get sunburned?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Laughing so hard—Qin Ye , stop joking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun scanned the comments and smiled: “Actually, Africans are dark because of evolution—adaptation to intense equatorial UV radiation. Melanin’s a great thing: it lowers risks of skin cancer, sunburn, and DNA damage. It’s natural sunscreen. That’s why I say African skin color comes from the sun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit, really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Checked it—damn, it’s true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“666.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun looked around, drank some water, and exhaled a hot breath: “It’s too hot. I’m not thirsty, but I’m hungry. I need to eat first—otherwise, even if I don’t get heatstroke, my stamina will drain fast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crouched, touched the yellow soil, and winced: “Damn, the ground’s at least 40–50°C—could fry an egg.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The livestream audience jumped in surprise. Seeing Qin Yun look so calm on screen, they hadn’t realized the ground temperature was this extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Ye , you can fry your eggs now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eat eggs, eat eggs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fucking Qin Ye ’s eggs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disgusting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun stared at the comments, torn between laughter and exasperation, a line of black sweat forming on his temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around, looking for a spot to have lunch. Too bad—endless short-grass plains, no cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, a few acacia trees and some acacia trees stood sparse. Among them, the acacia trees were slightly better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked one for shade and began preparing a fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dry grass was everywhere—perfect tinder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With weather like this, how do you think you’d start a fire easiest?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun began gathering dry grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Drill wood again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rub your hands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Ye ’s gonna pull out a lighter any second.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t Qin Ye  make a fire starter before going live?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Qin Yun gathered the grass, stacked rocks into a crude stove, laid the tinder underneath, then drew his knife—a Benchmade, top quality. He’d generously paid them a million dollars for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smirked: “Heh, I’m gonna use the knife’s reflection to start a fire. Didn’t see that coming, did you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gripped the handle, slightly bent the blade inward to form a shallow concave surface. Sunlight hit it, casting a bright spot. He adjusted angles until the spot couldn’t shrink further, then aimed it at the grass pile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience watched eagerly. In under thirty seconds, smoke rose. Qin Yun blew gently—a flame flared up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire lit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“2333, Qin Ye  is awesome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He thinks of every trick.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only because it’s so hot—if it weren’t, he’d have to drill wood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Comfortable—now fry those eggs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the fire burned steadily, Qin Yun added a few hardwood sticks, placed a thin stone slab on top, rinsed it with water, then cracked a white pelican egg onto it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white and yolk hit the stone with a sizzle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The egg visibly changed color, releasing a faint salty-fishy aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Almost done—eat up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks delicious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eggs are eggs—what’s the difference?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun flipped it: “Actually, there is. Animal diet affects egg flavor. These pelican eggs? When I cracked the shell, there was a strong fishy smell—because pelicans eat freshwater fish. Even cooked, they’ll be fishy and oily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled: “But with these pelican eggs, I don’t need to worry about salt—they’re naturally salty and savory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sliced it with his knife, pried it in half, and shoved both pieces into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he chewed, he evaluated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, not bad—tastes like a salty goose egg, just a bit fishy. Still, not bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One more update coming soon!\u003C\u002Fp>",1302,"2026-06-20T21:37:30.093Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5d8ed0ac6748b14e75e5a2578e367401a36d3306b6b4ea067b53b528713936cb","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-267","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-265",329,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-cover.jpg"]
