Wilderness Survival with Druid System
Chapter 645 - 144: Lakeside Paradise
High altitude.
The helicopter didn't leave immediately.
They used a positioning device in the high altitude to guide Chen Wen back with strong light.
Once Chen Wen returned to the shelter, the rescue personnel on the helicopter shouted 'goodbye' to him loudly before finally leaving.
The program team on this side.
They also breathed a sigh of relief.
The third rescue team, which had been out of contact, finally had news of all members.
Three dead, two seriously injured.
This news is bad news, but compared to the second team having no news at all, it's a good one.
And the person who brought back this good news is the inherently mysterious contestant - Chen Wen.
Through Hana's description, everyone learned that when Chen Wen found Hana, there was a group of North American gray wolves in front of him!
How did he manage to drive away the gray wolves without getting injured himself?
No one can figure out how Chen Wen accomplished this.
This puzzle might only be solved when Chen Wen returns.
...
After the rescue team was salvaged, Chen Wen seemed to return to normal as if nothing had happened.
However, Chen Wen was a bit speechless.
The strain from throwing the long spear made him uncomfortable, and for days, Chen Wen used some supplies left by the rescue team to relieve his injury.
Luckily, he didn't have much to do this week other than routine snow shoveling.
So the strain had little impact on him.
While Chen Wen was resting, there was news from the second rescue team.
The news came from the newly hired team.
They found a scrapped sled vehicle on the frozen lake but didn't find anyone using it in the area.
Yet in the nearby forest, they discovered five frozen bodies.
The second team was completely wiped out.
No one knows what happened to them, but it's certain that they died from hypothermia.
...
The matter of the rescue team losing contact came to a close.
What remains are the wrangling and compensation issues between the program team and the rescue team.
Besides, Norman and Hana, whom Chen Wen saved, survived after emergency treatment.
However, Norman lost both legs, and Hana had two toes amputated.
Compared to the eight dead, they were considered fortunate in misfortune.
Meanwhile, the contestants' situation has also changed.
Chen Wen and Roland naturally sat firmly in their positions, with Chen Wen being particularly steady.
But Hua Yun showed a severe decline.
The shelter was extremely drafty.
She had caught a cold.
The most despairing thing for Hua Yun was that the wood on the roof of her shelter cracked.
If Hua Yun hadn't discovered this in time that afternoon and climbed onto the roof to clear the snow.
She might have retired from the race that night.
But now it only delayed her days of retiring.
As for Adam, the contestant known as Rabbit Brother formally bid farewell to the competition.
The long-term consumption of foods with low fat content overwhelmed Adam's body.
After eating all his fish and failing to hunt larger prey, he fell into a trap.
Finally, the program team judged Adam's physical condition and informed him that he was no longer fit to survive.
Despite many regrets.
But considering the subsequent survival challenges, Adam reluctantly retired to ensure his health.
This time, luck wasn't on Adam's side; his area lacked large prey.
Of course, it partly was because Adam didn't actively search the mountains for prey.
Most of the time, Adam relied on traps for passive hunting.
Vini, though nicknamed Big Adam, performed much better than Adam.
He is still persevering, although not as strong as Chen Wen and Roland, he is much stronger than Hua Yun.
...
The snowstorm gradually came to an end.
After raging on Great Slave Lake for nearly ten days, the ferocious snowstorm finally receded.
Aside from destroying many trees, this snowstorm also left nearly 1.7 meters of deep snow around Great Slave Lake!
In some places, the snow even accumulated to a depth of two meters.
Outside Chen Wen's shelter, his snow wall stood over two meters high!
However, behind the snow wall was flat ground.
The accumulating snow around Chen Wen's shelter was only a few centimeters deep.
Today, as the snowstorm alleviated a bit, Chen Wen brought out the animals that had been nestled in the shelter for several days to play.
These days had already wearied them.
Currently, three coyote pups are chasing their mother and a red fox, running energetically with their growing legs.
Old Wolf was also moving around, constantly walking around in the open space outside the shelter.
The Wolf Mink and Eagle duo, always on the move, ventured to the deeper snow outside the shelter.
With their light weight, Eagle and Wolf Mink quickly disappeared from sight.
Chen Wen was not worried.
With Eagle present, if any trouble arises, Eagle can easily bring Wolf Mink back.
The short-tailed weasel stood on Chen Wen's shoulder, pointing at the playing coyote pups.
Chen Wen leaned against the earthen wall of the shelter, holding a polished reindeer rib in his mouth, appearing leisurely.
While he enjoyed the liveliness.
A moose cleared the snow along with a reindeer and also came to Chen Wen's shelter.
Long time no see, the reindeer's leg seemed to have recovered somewhat.
The swelling had completely subsided.
Upon seeing Chen Wen, the reindeer immediately called out joyfully and walked to him, continually rubbing against him.
To the point that Chen Wen thought this reindeer might be itching and used Chen Wen as a scratching post.
The moose chatted idly with Old Wolf.
From time to time, it gently nudged the curious coyote pups away with its flat antlers.
In this peaceful environment, Chen Wen felt much better.
The program team watching this magical scene was also astonished.
Beast taming is rare, but not unseen.
Having harmonious interactions with animals to this extent is also occurring, as many wildlife photographers can even integrate into wolf packs and lion groups.
However, as for Chen Wen, not only can he tame animals, but he also enables different species, even predators and prey, to live harmoniously together.
Everyone had never heard of it.
"A magical person with magical animals!"
Greg marveled looking at Chen Wen's scene again: "Chen Wen has transformed the extreme Great Slave Lake into a shape resembling an animal amusement park."
...
On the last day of the snowstorm, Hua Yun could no longer endure.
Her cold worsened, even leading to a low fever.
She had lost the ability to continue surviving.
The program team, a new rescue team, safely took Hua Yun back for simple treatment.
With Hua Yun's retirement, only three contestants remain in survival.
Number five: Roland, number seven: Vini, and number nine: Chen Wen!
After the snowstorm ends, the three will decide the champion within the remaining twenty days!
A million-dollar prize and the title of the strongest survivor of the year; whoever claims them has become the topic among all staff during breaks.
According to the program developing team's tendency, Chen Wen is undoubtedly the most favored, with sixty percent supporting him.
Roland's support is also strong, occupying thirty percent.
Vini falls short, with less than ten percent.
The three have distinct focuses on their survival strategies, and after the snowstorm ended, all took new actions.
First is Vini.
In terms of food, Vini's consumption had increased significantly.
Now he began considering continuing ice fishing for fresh food.
