Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the days Xiao Yi was away, Hei Dan and Gou Dan did not fully hibernate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This may have had something to do with the drone’s harassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two bears even believed the flying creature above their heads was the same one that had once hovered over Xiao Yi’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the two bears became much less wary and resistant toward the drone above them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the newly launched No. 1 live stream was now extremely popular, with daily viewership peaking steadily above ten million each evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing these numbers, Li Yong was naturally thrilled, and he devoted even more energy to the newly launched No. 1 live stream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Li Yong now didn’t want the two bears to continue hibernating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this viewership, the production team could easily afford to keep the two bears through the winter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, even if they kept them alive for the rest of their lives, it wouldn’t be a problem—because the two bears had market value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although keeping two bears in the wild did consume enormous energy and resources, this cost had to be weighed against the returns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just these few days since the No. 1 live stream began, the two bears had not only brought massive viewership and traffic to the show, but the netizens’ direct tips alone had already reached several hundred thousand yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this stream of tips wouldn’t last forever, even this amount was enough to support two staff members dedicated solely to caring for the two bears for two years—or longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, compared to Gou Dan, Hei Dan still hadn’t come to terms with Xiao Yi’s departure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason the No. 1 live stream was unusually active today was because Hei Dan had chosen to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, Hei Dan had left Gou Dan’s den.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although most black bears are solitary creatures, exceptions do exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Hei Dan and Gou Dan were brothers, and both had once been raised by Xiao Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And food was plentiful—living together was perfectly normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just now, Hei Dan walked out of Gou Dan’s den, dragging a wolf carcass in its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, both the production team staff and the No. 1 live stream viewers were stunned, wondering what Hei Dan was doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is Hei Dan going to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is Hei Dan planning to go wandering? No! It’ll die in winter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hei Dan, go back and hibernate! Isn’t it better to hibernate with Gou Dan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think Hei Dan is going to look for Xiao Shen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be foolish, Hei Dan! Xiao Shen is truly gone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course—Hei Dan still can’t let go of Xiao Shen!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hei Dan is the most devoted of them all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go back, Hei Dan! Surviving the winter safely is what matters most!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone watched Hei Dan head west, they debated, puzzled, and the chat flooded with pleas for Hei Dan to return and hibernate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, after watching the Arctic wilderness show for so long, everyone knew how unforgiving the Arctic winter was for animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Hei Dan was a top predator in this wilderness, if it Buxing  encountered a blizzard, it could easily get lost—or starve before winter ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, everyone knew that if Hei Dan stayed with Gou Dan and hibernated here, it would at least survive the winter safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So most people hoped Hei Dan wouldn’t leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar! Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after Hei Dan left the den, Gou Dan, who hadn’t appeared in a long time, finally emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Hei Dan depart, Gou Dan merely roared twice from the den entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Gou Dan understood Hei Dan’s heart and knew he couldn’t stop him, so he didn’t try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gou Dan’s reason for coming out now might have been simply to say goodbye to his foolish younger brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar! Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Gou Dan’s roar, Hei Dan halted its steps and turned to glance back at Gou Dan standing at the den entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Hei Dan roared once in return—a farewell to Gou Dan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Hei Dan continued dragging the wolf carcass away, never looking back again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gou Dan stood there, watching Hei Dan long after it turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when Hei Dan vanished completely from its sight did Gou Dan return to its den.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gou Dan had always known Hei Dan would leave—it had been waiting for Hei Dan to go; otherwise, it would have hibernated long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Hei Dan had finally left of its own accord, Gou Dan had no more distractions—it could hibernate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before hibernating, Gou Dan couldn’t help but recall Xiao Yi’s figure in its mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene left the live stream viewers stunned again—they didn’t understand why Gou Dan hadn’t stopped Hei Dan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the most troubled now was the production control room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Li, now that Hei Dan and Gou Dan have split, should our drone follow Gou Dan or Hei Dan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assistant asked helplessly, even mentally grumbling, “Hei Dan is disobedient.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The No. 1 live stream’s success had already made the assistant happy—but who expected Hei Dan to leave today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Yong was also frustrated—this was a choice he didn’t want to make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Li Yong told the assistant, “You’ve been handling this all along—trust your own judgment and decide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Li Yong had entrusted this decision to the assistant, he’d let the assistant decide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if viewership dipped a little, it didn’t matter—he’d cover the bottom line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the assistant smiled bitterly, but under the stares of the other staff, he felt immense pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the assistant was decisive—he turned to everyone and declared firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Send the No. 1 live stream drone after Hei Dan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assistant believed Hei Dan would generate more buzz for the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then follow Hei Dan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Yong also turned to the team and gave the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Yong agree, everyone nodded and began arranging it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the drone caught up with Hei Dan. Hearing the drone’s sound again, Hei Dan merely looked up once, then ignored it and kept walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Hei Dan reentered the familiar terrain, even pausing for a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surroundings were unchanged—only the human master was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, the wooden cabin appeared before it—along with the even more familiar bear den.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Hei Dan’s destination this time. Perhaps, in Hei Dan’s eyes, this was truly its home.\u003C\u002Fp>",1064,"2026-06-20T08:19:47.933Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","935fbfb68fc3fe1790b840dcefbd1da8d4521932bec3833db582ba9fec4920ce","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-332","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-330",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-cover.jpg"]
