Wilderness Survival with Druid System
Chapter 639 - 138: The Winds Rise Again
As the warmed adrenaline was injected into the body.
Norman's originally stiff complexion slowly changed.
From the grayish-white of a dead man, it gradually turned to a slightly fleshy normal skin tone.
At the same time, Norman, feeling like a popsicle frozen in a freezer, also began to regain consciousness.
About several dozen seconds passed.
Norman, dazed, shook his head, his body trembling involuntarily.
This scene scared all the animals away, each moving to the farthest corner from Norman.
Seeing this, even though Chen Wen was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback.
"Norman! Norman?"
Chen Wen called Norman's name and glanced at the large pot nearby.
As the flames in the fireplace intensified, the ice water in the pot slowly melted and started to warm up.
Once the ice water began to emit dense steam but hadn't yet boiled.
Chen Wen took the pot down and placed it beside the fireplace.
While calling Norman's name, he soaked gauze in the hot water.
After the gauze was soaked with hot water, Chen Wen immediately wrung it out and used it to wipe down Norman's neck, armpits, abdomen, and the vascular areas of his legs.
To warm these areas up.
So that the warm blood would flow into the heart and raise its temperature.
Seeing Norman still unconscious and shivering, Chen Wen pondered for a moment.
He took out the musk ox stomach he had set aside earlier.
Chen Wen had cleaned it up and stored it in the shelter's storeroom.
He kept it initially intending to use it as a water pouch.
But since he hadn't gone out, it was left unused in the storeroom.
Now it finally had a use.
After briefly warming it by the campfire, Chen Wen cut it in half, turning the large musk ox stomach into two parts.
Then he added hot water to one half and tied the mouth tightly with a rope.
He fashioned the musk ox stomach into a hot water bag and placed it on Norman's body.
Even the program team couldn't find anything to criticize about this rescue effort.
This was the best rescue Chen Wen could provide in the wild.
Even a professional rescue team could only achieve this under such circumstances.
...
The program team side.
Greg kept staring at the screen, feeling both grateful to Chen Wen and anxious.
"Aren't they here yet? Aren't they here yet?"
Greg muttered incessantly, his heart filled with restless anxiety.
Though Norman's condition had somewhat stabilized, without professional medical personnel and equipment, surviving was still incredibly difficult.
But to Greg's despair, even now, the rescue helicopter had just picked up the medical personnel.
They were still loading equipment onto the helicopter and hadn't set off yet.
This news made Greg even more restless.
But just then, on Chen Wen's side.
His emergency measures seemed to take effect.
With a groan, the trembling Norman lying on the ground suddenly stopped shaking.
He opened his eyes dazedly, a look of confusion in them.
Seeing Norman awake, everyone couldn't help but look at Norman and Chen Wen, who was removing the musk ox stomach to change the water.
Chen Wen naturally heard Norman's sounds.
Holding the musk ox stomach, he glanced at Norman's complexion.
Compared to just now, there was more rosiness on Norman's face.
But the heavy grayish-white color from severe hypothermia was still pronounced.
"Norman?"
Chen Wen called out, and Norman instinctively turned his head toward Chen Wen.
Though still quite stiff, Norman's body could move on its own.
He looked at Chen Wen with some confusion, his lips moving, asking in a broken voice: "Where am I? Who are you?"
Chen Wen thought for a moment and succinctly replied, "You were about to freeze to death. I saved you. Now you... are safe!"
Hearing Chen Wen's voice, Norman seemed to recall something.
His eyes flickered, and soon, Norman's raspy voice arose.
He said urgently, "We... attacked by a wolf pack, others... alive!"
Others are alive?!
Chen Wen's eyes lit up; not only him, but even the program team was startled by this news.
They had thought that only Norman was left alive from Team Number Three, who knew more survived!
"They, in..."
Norman stared, carefully recollecting.
Moments later, he shakily raised his hand, reaching for a pouch on his chest.
Chen Wen noticed and helped Norman take out the contents of the pouch.
It was an electronic compass.
"In the north, northeast direction, igloo, bark... on the roof."
Norman said fragmented, Chen Wen painstakingly comprehended Norman's meaning.
He looked towards the camera, his voice clear: "In the northeast direction from my current location, there's an igloo, with bark on the roof, that's where they are!"
Hearing this, Norman nodded gratefully.
As long as Chen Wen could understand his meaning.
Norman gripped Chen Wen's hand, his tone earnest: "Please, save them."
"Don't worry."
Chen Wen extended his hand, holding Norman's hand, still icy: "Now, don't fall asleep, I'm performing emergency aid on you, there's some warm water, drink it to raise your temperature."
After helping Norman sit up, Chen Wen was pondering on what he could lean against while drinking some hot water.
The old wolf approached.
It seemed to understand Chen Wen's intention and lay gently behind Norman.
The old wolf had a huge body, thick fur, and a higher body temperature than humans.
Leaning against the old wolf, Norman might as well be against a heated leather sofa.
He looked dazedly at the old wolf, without really seeing what it was, just continuously expressing gratitude.
Chen Wen extended his hand, patting the old wolf's body: "He's thanking you."
The old wolf chuckled a bit but didn't say more.
After giving Norman some hot water to drink, Chen Wen crushed some fat, and smeared it on Norman's tongue with a stick.
Feeling the fat, Norman frowned slightly.
He sensed the taste was terrible.
But as Chen Wen again brought warm water to his mouth, Norman painstakingly swallowed the fat.
He believed what Chen Wen fed him was lifesaving.
After a while, seeing Norman's condition seemed to stabilize.
Chen Wen also breathed a sigh of relief.
He leaned against the bed, a flicker in his eyes: "This time, luck was truly on our side! If Norman had lacked a bit of will, or if my supplies were insufficient, he'd most likely have died."
This statement garnered considerable agreement among the program team.
Truth be told, Norman being saved by Chen Wen was already an incredible feat for them.
And Norman's revelation of his teammates' location after regaining consciousness shocked them even more.
Realizing more survivors existed, Greg began urging the helicopter forward.
With Greg's roars, the helicopter finally took off.
As the helicopter's signal lights flickered, it dashed towards Chen Wen's position, symbolizing hope.
Yet just when everyone thought things could smoothly continue this way.
Half an hour later.
The helicopter suddenly reported bad news: "We can't get in! The outer winds are strong! Entering recklessly might destroy the helicopter by the strong winds! We are searching for a suitable entry point!"
This news re-tightened the hearts of the once-relieved program team!
