Wilderness Survival with Druid System

The still-conscious British contestant and the tall, thin contestant remained silent.

The two quietly watched as Chen Wen and Vikram gathered all of their supplies and tools, piling them in the middle of the camp.

They had already been eliminated by Chen Wen.

And after eliminating them, Chen Wen secured his spot for advancement.

Now, all he needed to do was wait for the survival period to end, and he could claim victory.

Therefore, at this moment, Chen Wen felt unburdened.

He piled up the supplies and glanced over them.

The lives of these four contestants were quite tight; their stored food was not much, barely enough for the four of them for a day or two.

"The food isn’t much. Let’s split it."

Chen Wen spoke up, interrupting Vikram, who was rummaging for weapons.

"Alright, you divide it. As we previously agreed, a 70-30 split is fine."

Vikram said.

But Chen Wen shook his head. The quality of this food was quite average; he said, "Let’s make it 50-50. I noticed you don’t have much food. I’ll take a bit more of other things later."

Vikram was surprised to hear this.

However, it was good news for him, and he didn’t care much about the food’s quality, as long as he could fill his stomach.

Chen Wen glanced at the food and selected some items he was lacking.

Mainly some dried nuts or chocolates from military rations.

The military rations of these four were nearly depleted, leaving only snack-like foods.

They weren’t filling but provided some essential nutrition for survival.

Chen Wen really needed them.

Besides those, Chen Wen also picked up some things that seemed like plant roots.

These things...

Chen Wen looked at them for a while, and they seemed very familiar.

He thought it over carefully and finally remembered the name of the plant—Rhodiola rosea!

These four contestants also had some skill, actually knowing to dig and eat Rhodiola rosea.

Makes a good soup, providing some essential nutrients and trace elements that the body lacks.

Moreover, in traditional Chinese medicine, Rhodiola rosea roots are used as a medicinal herb, though Chen Wen was unsure of its effects, he remembered it could reduce heat.

However, Rhodiola rosea has been overharvested in recent years, and wild ones are hard to find.

In this instance, he stumbled upon a good find.

Chen Wen thought as he packed up the Rhodiola rosea.

There wasn’t much left worth choosing from, so Chen Wen casually picked some items, leaving the rest for Vikram.

At this moment, the helicopter arrived.

The rescue team sent in a squad to take the four contestants aboard for treatment.

Besides the tall, thin contestant and the British one, the other two were quite seriously injured.

Just before the four contestants boarded the helicopter, Vikram made them leave their clothes behind.

Though feeling indignant, they reluctantly removed their outerwear.

Chen Wen shook his head helplessly.

Poor!

Besides him, the other contestants were indeed poor!

A single piece of clothing can sometimes act as an additional tool, which is quite important.

After the helicopter took the four contestants away, Chen Wen and Vikram began dividing the spoils.

"You can have all the clothes; I don’t need them."

Chen Wen handed over the clothes to Vikram, making Vikram very happy.

Then, Chen Wen started choosing weapons.

He wasn’t in dire need of weapons, but among these contestants, someone had a military shovel, which intrigued Chen Wen.

He picked out the military shovel, and then found some other weapons.

Eventually, the division of spoils was complete.

Both of them had satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Right, there’s still a pot of soup!"

Vikram licked his lips, eyeing the large pot set aside.

He’s been craving it for a long time.

"Yes, but it’s still early; let’s eat when it’s dawn."

Chen Wen was also tempted, but it wasn’t meal time yet, and there were still a few hours until morning.

Vikram nodded slightly at these words.

The two found the shelter of those four contestants and lay down to rest.

After all, they had stayed up all night.

...

Soon, dawn came.

Chen Wen and Vikram crawled out of the shelter one after another.

Vikram lit a fire, and Chen Wen put the meat soup on a makeshift stone stove.

"These four were somewhat skillful too."

Chen Wen looked at the large batch of fuel those four contestants had stored and felt some admiration: "In a vast place like Qiangtang, collecting this much yak dung truly requires time and patience."

Hearing this, Vikram couldn’t help but nod.

Just as Chen Wen said, Qiangtang was ridiculously vast, even with a large population of wild yaks, getting their dung was still quite challenging.

From the beginning of his survival, he only managed to make a fire five times, which demonstrated the difficulty.

But now, Vikram and Chen Wen were enjoying the fruits of the four contestants’ labor, with satisfaction in their eyes.

The feeling of reaping without sowing was indeed superb!

And the pot of meat soup those four contestants cooked was about to enter the stomachs of Chen Wen and Vikram.

...

Not long after.

As the bubbling sound from the pot grew louder, Chen Wen eagerly lifted the lid.

Inside was an incredibly rich meat soup.

"How did these people manage that?"

Looking at the slightly white-colored meat soup, Chen Wen couldn’t help but say, "With no seasonings added, they actually made the meat broth turn white. That’s impressive."

Saying this, Chen Wen twitched his nose, catching a faint milky scent.

"Hiss!"

Chen Wen looked at the meat soup and pulled out a few packets of drink powder from the seized military rations.

Milk powder.

It was part of another kind of military ration.

This time the association provided two types of rations, one being the type Chen Wen took, and the other was this one.

Aside from the drinks, there were almost no differences between the two types of military rations, but this one was older.

Chen Wen had opted for the newer-dated ration at the time, thinking the fresher it was, the better it would taste.

"Looks like they added milk powder; no wonder."

Vikram walked out from the shelter, carrying a few canned bottles, which served as the four contestants’ bowls.

He gave Chen Wen two, kept two for himself, and then eagerly ladled the pika meat into his bowl.

Chen Wen, not holding back, immediately picked out a pika leg, added some broth, and set it to cool.

The two ate heartily, almost clearing the remaining meat.

After taking a few swigs of the broth, a warmth spread through their bodies instantly.

"Satisfied!"

Chen Wen happily burped.

Vikram, too, let out a hard-fought belch, his eyes wide.

After eating, the pot became Chen Wen’s property.

Vikram didn’t like this sort of thing; he didn’t have time for cooking, preferring roasted food.

Chen Wen readily accepted.

After dividing the spoils, the two returned to Vikram’s camp.

Chen Wen first checked the animals’ conditions.

Ensuring the animals were safe and leisurely feeding.

Chen Wen sought out Vikram again.

The two needed to discuss their upcoming plan of action.

After some discussion, they decided to continue moving towards the core zone.

Simultaneously, Chen Wen informed Vikram of the situation he was facing.

Upon learning that a team of Hunting Owl members was still searching for Chen Wen, waiting for an opportunity for revenge.

Vikram hesitated for a long time.

Just as Chen Wen thought they were about to part ways, Vikram decided to continue acting alongside Chen Wen.

Upon asking for the reason.

Vikram hesitated for a moment and then said, "I’ve been collecting information on Hunting Owl for a while, and I’ve made some progress. If we can capture those Hunting Owl members here, I want to question them about some things. As long as you agree to this, we will act together."

Chen Wen readily agreed.
