Feels… nostalgic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think Xiao Shen will run into a wolf pack today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not good, but honestly—I kinda hope he runs into that pack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough, cough—I admit it, I’m a little dark inside. I’ve got that same thought too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What can I say? Every time Xiao Shen meets a wolf pack, it’s a massive battle. And now that he’s left the show, we might never see another one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What can you do? Every time Xiao Shen encounters a wolf pack, it’s a huge battle—and now that Xiao Shen has left the show, it’ll be hard to see such battles again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chat comments had shifted—most viewers now hoped Xiao Yi would encounter a wolf pack again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi saw these comments, but ignored them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These guys are dreaming? They’re wolves—hungry wolves—not a bunch of huskies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they were huskies, dealing with them wouldn’t be easy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi, naturally, wanted to avoid them entirely—stay out of their way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to risk injury or death after the show had ended, limping out of this wilderness covered in scars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want the show to end only for him to still have to fight for his life or get injured, limping out of this wilderness covered in wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aowu! Aowu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But sometimes, avoiding wasn’t an option—unless Xiao Yi could truly ignore everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he couldn’t. Just as he decided to ignore the viewers and go to sleep,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>two gunshots rang out, followed immediately by wolf howls nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the noise, Xiao Yi shot to his feet and stared toward the deep coniferous forest, weighing his options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew only rescue teams fired guns here—and with wolf howls, the scene was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rescue team must’ve become the unlucky ones, stumbling into the hungriest wolf pack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since Xiao Yi had stumbled upon it, and it was so close, even if helping meant risking injury, he couldn’t just stand by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After gritting his teeth, Xiao Yi looked toward the drone and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Turn on the brightest light. Guide me with the beam.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he checked the dagger on his person, grabbed the axe from his snowmobile, and prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drone immediately maxed out its brightness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area around Xiao Yi lit up like a miniature sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi then headed into the forest with his axe—but once inside, he realized how difficult it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snow here wasn’t as deep as outside, but it reached halfway up his knees, making every step a struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even Xiao Yi found walking so hard, the danger inside the forest must be immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even with guns, the rescue team couldn’t easily dodge wolf attacks—their legs were stuck in snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Xiao Yi quickened his pace. The livestream viewers, meanwhile, were ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t expected their wishes to come true so fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d hoped for a human-wolf battle before Xiao Yi left—and now it was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had hoped Xiao Yi would have one final massive human-wolf battle before leaving—and now it had directly come to pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the rescue team inside the coniferous forest felt none of the viewers’ ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven rescuers were tense, scanning the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, everyone—it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have pushed to rush out of this forest so quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We should’ve set up camp. Then, even if we met wolves, we’d have fire to defend ourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team leader spoke with shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven huddled together, three rifles pointed toward the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each rescue team had been issued three guns for defense—but clearly, it wasn’t enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in the forest, ten pairs of glowing green eyes stared fixedly at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the gunshots had frightened them off so far—otherwise, the wolves would’ve attacked already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Group Leader Kong, now’s not the time for blame—we all agreed with your plan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. We need to call for help. The gunshots won’t scare them off long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it—if only the ground weren’t covered in snow, we could light a fire to buy time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—dig out some snow, set fire to our tent and all the wood we have—burn everything to delay them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We need at least one hour here. Wang Zong promised me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Group Leader Kong’s words, everyone spoke up—some offering comfort, others brainstorming survival tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew this wasn’t Kong’s fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On their way back from scouting the forest, they’d already spotted wolf tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, it was dark, and everyone assumed they were nearly out of the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Kong suggested risking a nighttime escape, no one objected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, knowing wolves were nearby, sleeping in the forest would’ve been impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their luck ran out—they’d nearly escaped when they realized they were surrounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Group Leader Kong immediately called Wang Ming for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! Set fire to the tent—light it up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the four trapped rescuers snapped into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, set fire to the tent—light it up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the others finally reacted; the four surrounded quickly sprang into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolf pack sensed the movement and howled, preparing to charge again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before they could move, gunshots rang out once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the shots, the wolves froze again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi, still moving through the forest, noticed this too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi was anxious—but the livestream viewers were even more frantic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Shen, hurry! Faster! If you’re slow, they’ll get eaten!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Can’t you say something nice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But with these dense howls and gunshots—has the pack already attacked the rescue team?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if they have, don’t worry—the rescue team has guns. Can wolves really win?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think it’s daytime? This is a coniferous forest—plenty of cover. And the rescuers aren’t snipers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. Do you think wolves are as dumb as you? Standing still waiting to be shot?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the howls sound so dense… Xiao Shen doesn’t have Heidan or Goudan now. Can he really rescue them alone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, do you think all wolf packs are as stupid as you? Standing there waiting to be shot?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the wolf howls sound incredibly dense right now—Xiao Shen doesn’t have Hei Dan or Gou Dan to help him. Is it really safe for him to go alone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could there be a problem? After all, this is Xiao Shen—at the very least, once Xiao Shen gets there, even if he can’t drive off the wolf pack, buying some extra time should be no issue, and the rest of the rescue team, once they learn of the situation, won’t fail to come support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Xiao Yi, who was rushing through the snow, knew nothing of what was happening in the livestream at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from the recent wolf howls and gunshots, Xiao Yi knew he was very close to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for this damn snow, judging by the sounds, it would’ve been only ten minutes’ walk—but this damn snow was slowing him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Wang Ming was equally frantic—he never expected the rescue team heading to Sector Six Coniferous Forest would run into such trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain Qi, Captain Yan, how do we rescue Comrade Kong’s team?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Wang Ming asked the two captains; the two men before him were members of today’s rescue team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were former captains of Rescue Teams Two and Eight; the other rescue team members had already been dispatched to the three major coniferous forest zones—Numbers Two, Four, and Seven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two teams were kept behind specifically to handle unexpected situations—and now, clearly, an unexpected situation had arisen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Under these conditions, even by helicopter, it would take at least thirty minutes to reach Sector Six Coniferous Forest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the real problem now is that flying the helicopter in darkness will likely make it even slower than we estimated—it might take forty or even fifty minutes just to reach the edge of that forest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just now, when you replied to Comrade Ji’s team, you were overly optimistic. It’ll take our people at least an hour and a half to reach Comrade Kong’s team.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Wang Ming was utterly stunned—he had assumed an hour would be more than enough for a helicopter to reach Sector Six Coniferous Forest and mount a rescue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what do we do now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ming grew anxious—after all, if Comrade Ji’s team doesn’t see rescue within an hour, they might truly panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, an accident might truly happen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Captain Yan glanced at the electronic map and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t this where the Maple Country police rescue team is stationed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Captain Yan say this, Wang Ming first froze, then seemed to grasp his meaning and replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean, request the Maple Country police rescue team to assist? But…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Wang, there’s no ‘but’ now—saving lives is the top priority. Please contact the head of the Maple Country police rescue team.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Maple Country police rescue team is very close to Sector Six Coniferous Forest. If they launch a helicopter from here, I believe they can reach the forest’s edge in twenty minutes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’ll definitely arrive at Comrade Ji’s team’s location within an hour—possibly even less.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Wang Ming could finish speaking, Captain Yan quickly interrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, since arriving, Captain Yan had already heard about the situation here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even knew that Li Zong was currently clashing with Maple Country’s Officer Angie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this wasn’t the time for pride—even if it meant being mocked, he had to swallow his pride now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Wang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Wang Ming still hesitating, Captain Yan quickly reminded him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine! I understand!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Captain Yan’s words again, Wang Ming let out a bitter laugh, then spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Angie, it’s strange—our teams have all entered these seven coniferous forests, yet found nothing. According to our original assessment, this shouldn’t be happening!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right—they must be somewhere within this range. Where did we go wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This damn weather—I don’t want to stay here any longer!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m already missing my daughter. When will this mission end?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop complaining—complaining won’t solve anything!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh! I want meat gravy cheese fries, not this dry bread in front of me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Angie’s rescue team had also found nothing today, and the bitter cold had made the team members begin to grumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Angie, sitting nearby, sipped his coffee, indifferent to the others’ complaints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had set up the main rescue base here because he’d received word that Xiao Yi was somewhere in this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rescue was his mission—but finding Xiao Yi was his personal desire and goal.\u003C\u002Fp>",2123,"2026-06-20T08:19:47.933Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","68b8a198c238cb01af086bd0c0272cd9de27e0288d100146575bbbe81bc6b6f7","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-352","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-350",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-cover.jpg"]
