Chapter 317

Soon, Xiao Yi and his party arrived near the log cabin camp again.

However, this time Xiao Yi still did not stay here; he passed directly through the vicinity of the camp and then headed straight west.

After all, he could not live here, so what was the point of lingering to take a few more looks?

To be honest, in the dozens of days Xiao Yi had been in the wilderness, he had explored to the south, and the east went without saying; when looking for reindeer, he had even gone further than Erhei's cave.

Although the north was cold, because of the wolf pack in the north, Xiao Yi had been to that area in the north for short distances.

Only the west, Xiao Yi had not been to; it was not that Xiao Yi had any taboos, but that a high mountain stood to the west of his log cabin.

At the same time, bordering this mountain were dozens of miles of rolling hills; if they were not too low, calling them a small mountain range would be no problem.

Of course, calling that mountain a high mountain was actually a bit of an exaggeration, but visually, it should be about eight hundred meters.

If it were in a plateau or mountainous region, to be honest, an eight-hundred-meter mountain could not be called a high mountain at all; it could even be called the smallest of the small among mountains.

But this was the plain of the Arctic wilderness; looking around, except for the surroundings of that mountain, there were not many hills even two or three hundred meters high in other places, let alone this eight-hundred-meter-high mountain.

Picking the tallest among the short, that is what this mountain was!

So with this mountain blocking the way, Xiao Yi was too lazy to explore to the west; after all, in such deep snow, trying to cross this mountain was still quite dangerous.

However, this time Xiao Yi still had to face such a choice: cross this mountain, or take a detour of dozens of miles?

Of course, each had its own dangers; if he crossed this small mountain range, no one knew what was living inside.

Shallow water has many turtles! It was actually not impossible that some wolf packs, bears, wildcats, and lynxes lived in this small mountain range.

Compared to crossing here, taking a detour might actually be the safest, but Xiao Yi's attribute of being directionally challenged made him afraid that he would run off course while detouring.

However, now was not the time to think about these things, because he still had one night to think.

After Xiao Yi passed through the log cabin camp, it took another half an hour before he finally arrived near the foot of this "high mountain."

And at this time, the sky began to turn dark and gloomy again; according to Xiao Yi's estimation, it would be completely dark in another hour.

So Xiao Yi had no intention of continuing forward and planned to set up camp nearby.

After observing the surroundings, Xiao Yi found a relatively flat place and began to build his temporary camp.

Then Xiao Yi used his old method, piling snow in his steamer, then dumping it out, and starting to create snow blocks one by one, using them to make a wind-blocking wall.

This process was not very fast, and it could not even be finished in an hour; of course, Xiao Yi was already very skilled at doing these things.

However, fortunately, Xiao Yi had already lit a fire at this time, and under the illumination of the fire's flames, Xiao Yi would not have to work in the dark.

It was just that although Xiao Yi was quiet here, the subsequent impact of Xiao Yi sending away Heidan and Goudan was still continuing, and it even made the program team feel helpless at this time.

First, the topic of Heidan and Goudan leaving rushed onto the trending list in just half an hour.

Even in two hours, the two bears appeared at the eleventh spot on the trending list.

According to this topic level and popularity, it was believed that it would not take long before it could rush to the first spot on the trending list.

Many netizens were still a bit bewildered when they saw Heidan and Goudan appearing on the trending list, not knowing how these two bears had reached the forefront of the trending list.

Only when they clicked in did they all realize!

This winter, if one were to talk about which topic and popularity were the highest, it would definitely be the wilderness survival program battle hosted by the two giants, Douyin and Sohu.

After all, there were very few young people now who did not use the two major short-video apps, Douyin and Sohu.

As long as you used them, these two programs would basically appear in front of your mobile phone screen in the form of various short videos.

And Xiao Yi was the person with the most topics in these two phenomenal programs, and he had been raising Heidan and Goudan, so his national popularity was naturally very high.

Even many people who did not watch this program now knew that Xiao Yi raised two bears, Heidan and Goudan.

Moreover, the two black bears had even higher popularity, especially among children.

So when they clicked on the trending search and found that Xiao Yi had sent the two bears away and left alone, the netizens who saw this were also amazed.

Secondly, it was Xiao Yi's broadcast room; after Xiao Yi left Goudan's cave, more than 5 million people left Xiao Yi's broadcast room one after another.

But later, the number not only grew back, but it even made Xiao Yi's broadcast room directly exceed 35 million people.

Of course, these subsequently increased people were also netizens who heard online that Xiao Yi had sent away Heidan and Goudan and came over to watch the excitement.

Perhaps after the excitement ended tomorrow, these people would leave one after another again.

Regarding this scene, the program team was actually somewhat unable to laugh or cry.

They did not know whether to welcome these newly arrived viewers or not; after all, the data had indeed gone up.

Of course, these were not the key; what really made the program team feel troubled was this.

Those viewers who left were not really detached and no longer paying attention to Xiao Yi's broadcast room, but most of them all ran to the program team's official website to start making a fuss.

They even came up with a voting activity, voting for Xiao Yi to go back and find Heidan and Goudan.

Seeing this scene, the program team suddenly felt that this operation was somewhat familiar.

However, the program team could not ignore it; after all, this voting activity on the program team's official website had been posted by netizens, and in just a few hours, the participants had exceeded one million.

At this time, in the base control room, several people in charge of the program team were looking at each other.

"Li Zong, what should we do? Should we find Xiao Shen and talk to him privately?"

"That's right, I think we can also talk; we also know some of Xiao Shen's thoughts. At worst, after the program ends, we can transport Heidan and Goudan back to this wilderness."

The two bears indeed brought great attention and topics to the program team, and these people in charge naturally knew that.

Therefore, as long as they could ensure the program's ratings, what did it matter if it was a bit troublesome?

Wasn't Xiao Yi worried about the two bears' danger, worried that after the two bears left, it would not be easy for them to return to this relatively safe wilderness?

Their program team could do it! It just required wasting some manpower and material resources.

They could even use a helicopter to send the two bears back when the time came.

In the eyes of the several people in charge of the program team, what could this bit of manpower and material resources count for?

Compared to the topics the two bears could bring to the program team, this bit of consumption of manpower and material resources was completely worth it.

Even after the two bears traveled back, the program team could provide the two bears with more and better food, letting the two bears go hibernate.

Of course, all these thoughts had a premise, and that was that Xiao Yi had to agree.

To be honest, Xiao Yi also had a stubborn personality, and the people in the program team knew that too.

Once he decided on something, it was actually difficult for anyone to change his decision.

And Xiao Yi was also a bit different from other contestants; he could be considered the only contestant who achieved success mutually with the program team.

So the program team did not dare to force Xiao Yi too much to make him do things he was unwilling to do, so this matter could only be discussed.

At this time, Li Yong was naturally having a headache there; how could he not know the thoughts of others?

However, was Xiao Yi really that easy to persuade?

"Li Zong, actually there is another way, I don't know if I should say it or not!"
