Chapter 312

That bear’s quite sensitive! But this kid’s comfortable, while we’re the ones suffering!

The rescue team also noticed Heihei growling at them, clearly trying to drive them away.

But at this point, the rescue team didn’t care—they knew Xiao Yi would stop that black bear.

Just as they suspected, the black bear’s roars carried hostility, but it didn’t come toward them.

Still, seeing Xiao Yi living in the bear den while they had to camp out in the snow made Shen Mengsan feel a bit resentful.

Is he trying to make things hard for an old man like me? When I get my old-age rheumatism, I’m definitely going to mooch off that kid.

Set up camp!

Afterward, Shen Mengsan still found an open patch of ground and called out.

Hearing Shen Mengsan’s order, the rescue team immediately got busy.

If the production team hadn’t given them so much, even though they got along well with Xiao Yi, they wouldn’t have wanted to accompany him on this wilderness journey.

Not to mention the dangers—just setting up camp and moving locations every day was a hassle.

…

…

As for Xiao Yi, he had no idea of Shen Mengsan’s complaints.

After Xiao Yi finished tidying up, the sky turned dark again, and he lit the fire.

Then Xiao Yi went out again to search for damp branches.

If he could, Xiao Yi really wanted to bring all his stored dry wood—he wouldn’t be going through all this trouble otherwise.

But it was truly impossible! The reindeer might be able to pull the dry wood, but the sled wouldn’t support such an idea.

Fortunately, the wilderness had no shortage of wood and branches—even damp ones, after a while by the fire, could still burn.

When Xiao Yi returned again, he was carrying a pile of branches.

Clearly, the amount he carried was enough to make up for today’s fire needs.

As for the three bears, they were all in low spirits, lying down to rest not far from the fire.

And upon returning, Xiao Yi unusually didn’t start cooking.

After all, the wolf meat had already been divided, and Xiao Yi didn’t want to give his reindeer meat to these three dumb bears—most importantly, he wasn’t very hungry right now.

Still, in the end, Xiao Yi took out some of his preserved dried meat, lightly roasted it by the fire, and tossed a bit to the three bears.

The three bears didn’t mind having dried meat for dinner; seeing the meat thrown their way, they immediately pounced and tore into it.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi sat before the fire, gnawing on dried meat and gazing at the stars outside the cave.

After the heavy snowfall, the Arctic sky had grown even brighter.

I have to say, the Arctic sky at this moment was truly beautiful, and for the first time, Xiao Yi felt how close he was to the stars.

Then, with nothing else to do, Xiao Yi opened the live chat and started interacting with netizens.

For the past two days, focused on dealing with the wolf pack, Xiao Yi hadn’t interacted with his livestream for several days.

Is Xiao Shen planning to head east all the way?

My Heihei is so pitiful—the bear den’s been taken over by Xiao Shen again, but at least this time Heihei can move in too!

What are Xiao Shen’s next plans? Tell us!

It’s already Day Three of the “Final Challenger” mission—congratulations, Xiao Shen, you’ve hit three million.

Sigh! Here it’s sunny and bright, but Xiao Shen’s sky is already full of stars—do we even live on the same planet?

Didn’t you learn geography in middle school? Isn’t this normal?

…

…

Seeing Xiao Yi open the live chat, the netizens became extremely enthusiastic.

They were all asking questions, and some were even bickering in the stream.

This isn’t heading east—it’s to bring Heihei back!

Next, I plan to head west, hoping to find other contestants’ shelters and see where they live.

I haven’t won the three million yet! The contract clearly states I must survive ten days in the wilderness to claim the prize—if I’m really unlucky, I might just leave on Day Nine.

…

…

After reading these questions, Xiao Yi picked a few to answer.

But such peaceful moments always pass quickly—an hour vanished in the blink of an eye.

Honestly, Xiao Yi was grumbling inside: couldn’t this time just be stacked up?

At least make up for the lost days from before! Save me from sitting here doing nothing.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yi could only grumble in his heart—the production team had no such rule.

After closing the live chat, Xiao Yi fell into a daze again.

As for the three bears, they seemed truly exhausted, lying motionless—especially Heihei, who had already fallen fast asleep.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but smile; eventually, he didn’t know how long he sat there by the fire.

Only when he finally felt a hint of drowsiness did he rise and head toward the tent.

When Xiao Yi returned to the tent, the lynx kitten was already fast asleep inside.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi shook his head—the little thing had grown a bit more these past two days.

In a little while, he should start teaching it real hunting skills.

Too bad all his snow rabbits were ruined by that wolf pack—if they were still around, they’d be the perfect prey for this little one.

Then Xiao Yi shoved the kitten deeper into the tent and crawled in himself.

No one spoke all night; when Xiao Yi woke again, dawn was just breaking, and he got up.

He glanced at the three bears—Goudan and Heihei were awake, but Heidan was still sound asleep, as if this were his own den.

Xiao Yi ignored Heidan—the bastard had worked hard these past two days; let him sleep longer.

Then Xiao Yi woke up the lynx kitten.

This little thing was getting lazier by the day; soon I’ll be leaving—how will it survive in this wilderness with such a lazy streak?

When Xiao Yi picked it up, the kitten groggily showed signs of annoyance.

Seeing its annoyed expression, Xiao Yi tossed it right next to the three bears.

Instantly, the kitten smelled the bears’ scent so close by, woke up in alarm, and scrambled back to Xiao Yi’s side.

As for Goudan and Heihei, when they saw the kitten tossed near them, they paid it no mind.

After all, unless Xiao Yi spoke up, they wouldn’t dare do anything to the little thing.

Then Xiao Yi ignored the two bears and the kitten, stepped out of the cave, and went to feed his reindeer.

Afterward, he packed up the tent and loaded everything onto the sled.

Seeing this, Heihei looked wistful—if only it could stay longer, but since this human was leaving, it had no choice but to follow.

As for Xiao Yi at this moment, he kicked Goudan in the side.

Goudan was startled awake by the kick, and upon seeing Xiao Yi, lay back down.

But then Xiao Yi called out, “Enough lying around—we’re leaving!”

Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, the three bears and the lynx kitten all stood up and followed him out.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi frowned at Heihei and said, “What are you following me for?”
