I have a feeling—this time, we’ll definitely rescue those guys. My instincts are always right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope so! Let’s hope they bring good news. Let’s head back too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Group Leader Kong say this, Wang Ming spoke up as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was already the third day of the rescue operation; time for the rescue team was running out, and Wang Ming was truly under immense pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since Xiao Yi had a live stream—millions of people were watching this event simultaneously!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Wang Ming walk away, Group Leader Kong said nothing further—he could understand the pressure Wang Ming felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anji, are you really certain about redirecting all our personnel and resources to Sector Seven Spruce Forest?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Officer Ryan frowned as he asked. Though he agreed the odds of finding survivors were highest in Sector Seven Spruce Forest, Anji’s move still seemed reckless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ryan, I’m determined to challenge Xiao Yi. I need to strip away his facade—Maple Country doesn’t need a Chinese hero.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ryan fell silent again. He held no malice toward Xiao Yi, nor was he an admirer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply thought Anji was acting impulsively, ignoring the bigger picture—after all, Sector Seven Spruce Forest offered the best chance of finding survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn’t mean the missing people were definitely there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were actually in the other two spruce forests, their current decision might cost those people their best chance of rescue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anji wanting to challenge Xiao Yi didn’t bother him—he just remembered they were a rescue team, and the primary mission was to save lives as safely as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I support Anji’s decision. After all, we already found a snowmobile belonging to the missing persons in that forest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right. I believe even if we withdraw from the other two forests, the production crew’s rescue team will still search there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If this is the place with the highest chance of finding survivors, why not pour all our efforts into it first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I also support Anji. I agree with one thing he said: Maple Country doesn’t need a Chinese hero. I support Anji in tearing down Xiao’s mysterious veil.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ryan, this is our collective decision. You can feel it—please don’t stand in Anji’s way this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Ryan could speak again, members of the Maple Country Police Rescue Team nearby began voicing their opinions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, everyone’s stance was the same—they all supported Anji’s order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even some Maple Country Police Rescue Team members who had previously liked Xiao Yi now backed Anji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Sector Seven Spruce Forest was undeniably the most promising location to find survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That alone was enough for them to support Anji—they wouldn’t think as comprehensively as Ryan did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, they wanted to see Anji’s battle with Xiao Yi, to find out if Xiao Yi was truly as strong as shown in the videos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they admired Xiao Yi more for his strength; weakness deserved neither respect nor support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Ryan and a few staunch Xiao Yi supporters exchanged glances, then said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tide had turned—most people supported Anji now; even if they objected, it would be useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ryan fall silent, Anji spoke again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since no one objects, notify the teams in the other two spruce forests to pull out and converge with us at Sector Seven. Let’s all depart now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Anji said no more, glanced at Ryan, and boarded the helicopter first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan, meanwhile, was the last to board—even muttering under his breath before stepping in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope your judgment is right this time, Anji!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chiu! Chiu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chiu! Chiu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was gradually brightening, and Xiao Yi had already traveled for an hour and a half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Xiao Yi heard the call of a rough-legged hawk, and the hawk resting quietly beside him began calling too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xiao Yi smiled, then stopped the snowmobile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the door and let the hawk out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered, “This little thing’s punctual—every morning at dawn, it always shows up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, its ability to find him was due to the hawk inside his vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi then ignored the two hawks and took a sip of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drove slowly, carefully scanning the snowy surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he’d found a snowmobile in this snowfield—there was a real chance someone was nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, his hopes were unfulfilled—no sign of any person was found here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu! Wu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the hawks fly off, the young lynx yawned and let out two soft calls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a single dog… no, a single lynx, especially an immature one, it had zero interest in the birds’ antics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only grumbled because their affectionate noises disturbed its sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi glanced at the little creature and couldn’t help thinking—it had grown even lazier these past two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slept in the tent, slept in the snowmobile after leaving the tent, and slept even more soundly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chiu! Chiu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Yi had no time to pay attention to the little thing now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the hawk that had flown off returned, repeatedly tapping on the snowmobile’s window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xiao Yi understood the little creature’s intent and muttered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright! If you smash my window, I’ll pluck your feathers and eat you for dinner!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached into the back seat, pulled out a piece of reindeer meat, and tossed it out the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d prepared this in advance—he’d promised the hawks, and they’d truly earned it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they were the ones who found the snowmobile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the reindeer meat flew through the air, the incoming hawk snatched it mid-flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chiu! Chiu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hawk called again, as if thanking Xiao Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi then looked at the hawk perched on the window and muttered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today, you two little things can roam freely. If you find anything else, I’ll reward you even more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Xiao Yi didn’t know if they understood—but he pretended they did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without lingering further, Xiao Yi restarted the snowmobile and headed toward Sector Seven Spruce Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Maple Country Police Rescue Team seems to have reinforced this area!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Liu and Captain Yan’s main rescue force had just landed at the edge of Sector Seven Spruce Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were preparing to set up temporary tents for rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they finished, the rumble of helicopters echoed overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the production crew’s rescue team looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the incoming helicopters, Captain Liu muttered first:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect! It proves our guess was right—the Maple Country Police Rescue Team also believes Shen’s team is here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Captain Yan chuckled beside him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still annoying. Even without them, we could’ve rescued our own comrades.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Captain Liu knew Anji had repeatedly provoked them—and now he disliked the entire Maple Country Police Rescue Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Captain Yan shook his head and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liu, you can say this among us, but they came to help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Captain Yan’s response, Captain Liu said nothing further—he knew it hurt team unity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he added: “You’ve spoken to Officer Anji before—go greet him. I’ll check if our gear’s ready.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Captain Yan’s reply, Captain Liu walked straight into the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this, Captain Yan sighed and muttered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That old Liu—still as stubborn as ever!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the Maple Country Police Rescue Team’s helicopter landed beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anji stepped out first. Seeing the production crew’s main force already here, he was slightly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he walked calmly toward Captain Yan and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing each other, members of both rescue teams began whispering among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Weird! The Maple Country Police Rescue Team sent a lot of people—they must’ve thought the same as our captain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn't this count as great minds think alike? Let’s see who finds Xiao Qin and the others first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, I heard Xiao Shen agreed to fight that pretty-boy cop? That guy’s got guts, challenging Xiao Shen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard about this last night too, from Ji Ge. Didn’t Xiao Shen set some conditions? Jiu’er, weren’t you with Captain Yan yesterday? What exactly happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Shen agreed, but only if they rescue Xiao Qin and the others today before the fight proceeds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect! So there’s a condition. Today, no matter what, I’m backing that Canadian cop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, I knew you were always scheming—but I’m backing this too, Old Lan. If anyone finds Xiao Qin and the others, we notify the Canadian guys first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah! You bunch of sneaky bastards!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"77!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"78!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monkey, what are you counting over there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly a hundred! Didn’t the Canadian police rescue team send only a hundred? And now they’re all here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn’t miscount, did you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost. How many people is this? Do you think I can’t count? Looks like Officer Anji really wants to get beaten.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are too many of them. Everyone, give it your all today. We can give them info about Xiao Qin’s group—but we can’t let them find Xiao Qin first. Understood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, do you really have to say that? Do you think we’re not proud? Finding our own brothers first is the only way it should be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the rescue team members were saying all kinds of things, but many internally held strong convictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d help Officer Anji find Xiao Yi to get beaten—but only after they found Xiao Qin and the others first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Captain Liu and the others in the crowd, upon hearing the chatter, they all nodded in quiet satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all team leaders; even if they had thoughts, they couldn’t show them like the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Captain Yan could only smile bitterly—these guys were truly devious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at a few nearby fellows and glared at them to shut up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Anji was already walking toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Yan knew Anji’s Mandarin was excellent—if he overheard this chatter, it would hurt team unity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Officer Anji. I didn’t expect you’d all come to this coniferous forest today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Yan stepped forward first, smiling politely and extending his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Captain Yan! I hope we make some surprising discoveries today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Captain Yan approach, Anji shook his hand in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Captain Yan were barely acquainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Captain Yan couldn’t help being startled by the sea of Canadian police rescue members behind Anji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued, \"Officer Anji, are you certain our teammates are truly in this coniferous forest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren’t you and your team thinking the same?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah! Of course. Then let’s wish each other success today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t dwell on it—daily daylight hours for rescue were always limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging a few words with Captain Yan, Anji’s group left and began setting up camp nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, they intended to dig in at Coniferous Forest #7.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Yan, how was the talk just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Anji left, Captain Liu returned and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just empty words. How’s everything packed? Once ready, we head in immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, if that guy hadn’t shown up, we’d have already entered the forest. Everyone’s been waiting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, Captain Liu shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the entire production crew’s rescue team gradually entered Coniferous Forest #7.\u003C\u002Fp>",1915,"2026-06-20T08:19:47.933Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d9eb7ec07f33eade845ae2acd7582a9144fe41225fad3550dc3f4400d700300e","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-358","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-356",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-cover.jpg"]
