I’m currently in the Serengeti Plains of Tanzania, Africa. I slept reasonably well yesterday—though I had to get up every hour or so—I fell asleep quickly, so my total sleep time was still very adequate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is one of the benefits of Qin Yun’s increasingly refined bodily control—he can fall asleep anywhere, anytime, and wake up just as easily. What ordinary people consider impossible fantasy has become as natural to him as walking, fully transformed into an effortless, instinctive ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Ye , it’s afternoon back home—what’s so early about it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, I’m almost off work, and A Ye  just started streaming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just your first day yesterday and so much happened—A Ye ’s luck isn’t great.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A, good morning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands of comments poured in from four livestreams across domestic and international platforms—Qin Yun couldn’t possibly read them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled: “Yesterday was my first day in the Serengeti. I’ve basically met my goal of twenty kilometers. Today, I hope to go even farther.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the dry season now—the sun has baked the grass dry, and water sources have shrunk drastically. Wildebeests and zebras are migrating in herds; what remains on the plains are mostly the familiar carnivores.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“During this season, it’s not just the weak, old, or young that fall behind—even apex predators like lions, hyenas, and leopards are teetering on the edge of life and death. In the rainy season, prey is abundant, but now they must hunt to survive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here, right now, death is everywhere—happening at your feet at every moment. As you’ve all seen along this journey, animal bones litter the ground. There is virtually no truly safe place on this plain—baboons are torn apart by lions, lizards are pecked to death by raptors, jackals scavenge scraps, venomous insects hide in the soil, and spotted hyenas constantly hunt for their next meal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one knows whether the area I’ve entered is the territory of a predator—and I have no retreat. I must press forward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun casually smothered the still-smoldering fire, then stretched his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Serengeti has never been a wilderness paradise—it’s a vast slaughterhouse of life and death. Over the next twenty days, I’ll lead you through the most brutal, unfiltered reality of survival of the fittest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Qin Yun’s words, viewers sighed in awe:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The cruelty of nature is most real here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even the king of the grasslands can be surrounded and killed by hyenas—what isn’t possible?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Ye , what animals are still left on the plains now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun said: “The animals I’m currently in—wildebeests, zebras, gazelles—most have already moved north, preparing to cross the Malahe River. What remains are the stragglers or those accidentally left behind—essentially just the old, weak, sick, and injured.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides these, some African elephants also migrate seasonally, though as we saw yesterday, most are still here. Giraffes, black rhinos, buffaloes, and hippos are still present too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All of these are herbivores. Lions, spotted hyenas, leopards, cheetahs, and jackals also follow the migration north—but they’re here to hunt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In short, although this is the peak of the African grassland migration, the central and southern Serengeti still harbor all these animals—and competition will be even fiercer. As herbivores dwindle, the remaining predators must compete for the same dwindling prey.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Qin Yun tidied up briefly and continued northeast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing the granite outcrop, he glanced far off—the leopard was gone, likely hunting. Around him stretched endless yellow: dry grass and yellow earth dominated the landscape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking several hundred meters, two vultures took flight, revealing a partially decayed corpse in view, swarming with flies and insects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a jackal’s corpse. The wounds suggest it was killed by a leopard and other animals—but it wasn’t dragged away whole; it was torn apart, and much of it rotted right here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun examined the ground and found numerous footprints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look—this one is a leopard’s print. The other seven or eight are African wild dogs’. No wonder most of the body was left here—they don’t eat jackals. They’re eliminating competitors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Qin Yun effortlessly identify the animals from their tracks, countless netizens marveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, A Ye  just names them off the top of his head—how’s his brain even built?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Insane.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So A Ye  is the #1 outdoor streamer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve never seen A Ye  face something he doesn’t recognize or can’t solve.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A man who can solve problems like this? So hot—no wonder Su Wan is obsessed with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, when are Su Wan and A Ye  getting married?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you do, send us all some wedding candy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the comments drift off-topic, Qin Yun felt a headache coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the corpse, he kept walking. After over half an hour, the sun rose higher, and Qin Yun felt his mouth dry out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m thirsty. I need to find water soon—otherwise, severe dehydration and electrolyte loss will rapidly weaken me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he swiftly climbed a nearby tree, scaling it with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing atop the tree, he scanned the horizon, then pointed east: “Look—aren’t there a lot more jin hehuan trees over there? Where jin hehuan trees cluster, there’s always a riverbed, depression, or water source. So heading that way should lead me to water.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He jumped down and added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finding water here has many methods—just find one reliable clue, and you can make a solid judgment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For example, at dawn or dusk, follow animals—they’ll likely lead you to water. Or watch for raptors circling—those directions are almost certainly water sources. If none of those work, observe the terrain—low-lying areas always mean dry riverbeds or depressions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having locked in the direction, Qin Yun hurried toward the dense cluster of jin hehuan trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, “Seeing a mountain doesn’t mean you’ve reached it”—after another half hour of walking, he finally entered the jin hehuan grove. Now, even breathing felt parched; his saliva production had plummeted, and dehydration was hitting faster than he’d expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at A Ye ’s lips—they’re cracked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsk tsk, with the temperature rising, A Ye  needs water now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the cruelty of nature—no matter how strong you are, without basic survival essentials, you’ll die silently.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the jin hehuan trees, Qin Yun finally spotted a riverbed—but when he ran over, he found it nearly dry, with only shallow surface water left, most of it turned to mud. And most of that mud was occupied by several dark, massive shapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were five or six enormous hippos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun shook his head, not disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hippos are the third-largest animals in Africa, after elephants and rhinos. Here’s a little-known fact: hippos kill more people in Africa than lions or crocodiles. They look slow, but they run fast—and they hold grudges. But if you don’t provoke them, they won’t attack—just don’t get too close.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Qin Yun turned and walked away. After about ten meters, he stopped again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guess I’ll have to dig a seepage pit again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out his dagger and began digging with heavy breaths—half an hour passed before water slowly began to seep into the hole. Only then did he stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let the water sit for about twenty minutes, his mouth and throat parched, before carefully beginning to drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a sip, Qin Yun looked at the camera and said calmly: “Same principle as before—though this muddy water contains bacteria, parasites, feces, and urine, after filtering through over ten meters of soil, those contaminants are completely blocked. It’s safe to drink. The only downside is the strong earthy taste—it’s unpleasant, but it solves my dehydration.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“666, A Ye  always finds a way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hippos are the ugliest animals I’ve ever seen since childhood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Ye ’s water bottle’s too small—bring a two-liter one, then you won’t keep worrying about dehydration.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wouldn’t drink this water even if you paid me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun looked at the comments and smiled bitterly: “Brother Atlas, when you truly feel thirst, you’ll drink this water—and even your own urine. The agony of dying of thirst is beyond your imagination.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he suddenly heard a soft “shushing” sound behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes sharpened—he instantly froze mid-sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think something’s behind me.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1378,"2026-06-20T21:37:30.093Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","62778c1333a534c3264f363f14159112ece6fe0e8d90d5b7b26f589ec48e33b6","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-273","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-271",329,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-cover.jpg"]
