Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 983 - 2: Ingenious Opening Moves

After resolving potential conflicts within the team, Chen Wen’s side began to wait for survival to continue.

However, during this time, Chen Wen didn’t stay idle.

He called the animals to his side, focusing on their situation, and asked them to make arrangements on how to get in touch later.

Moreover, how to determine the nearest meeting point.

These seemingly insignificant issues are actually very important.

About ten minutes later.

With the notification from the staff, the contestants began to board the helicopter.

Speaking of which, Chen Wen feels the Russians really aren’t afraid; the helicopter used for transporting contestants should be retired heavy helicopters from the army.

The large cabin directly accommodated all the contestants.

Chen Wen curiously looked at this large helicopter, feeling very emotional.

After a while, the staff also boarded.

They distributed an eye mask to each contestant, signaling for them to put it on.

This new method felt quite novel to Chen Wen.

He cooperatively put on the eye mask, and as the sound of the propellers started, Chen Wen felt an unprecedented thrill.

"Whoa, flying blind like this, not seeing anything, it’s really quite thrilling, huh!"

Chen Wen said.

Beside him, Hua Yun seemed very nervous and couldn’t help but say, "It is!"

As the two talked, the helicopter moved quickly.

Everyone could distinctly feel the difference.

After a few minutes, a staff member approached Chen Wen’s side, calling up the contestant on the opposite side.

Upon hearing the commotion, Chen Wen realized the ones being called up were Shijing Heren and his team.

The contestant called up removed the eye mask and went to the cabin door, sliding down the rope.

Chen Wen felt the temperature outside.

Very cold!

Late October at Baikal Lake marks the start of the transition from autumn to winter, beginning to freeze.

This season, the average temperature at Baikal Lake hovers between zero degrees and ten degrees.

Under special circumstances, it can drop below zero.

And Chen Wen and the others were encountering such special circumstances now.

"It’s very cold!"

Chen Wen couldn’t help but exclaim.

Hua Yun beside him couldn’t help but nod; today’s temperature was even lower than when they previously came here for acclimatization survival!

It’s excessively cold!

"I remember the weather forecast saying we’d experience the first cold snap three days after arriving here, but looking at it now, it seems to be starting today."

Casually, Chen Wen said, "If we survive afterward, we’ll need to speed up, or when significant cooling occurs and we haven’t built our shelter, it’ll be tough!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Yun nodded repeatedly: "That’s right, this time we need to be more serious with the shelter construction!"

Last time she suffered from inadequate shelter.

"Speaking of shelter construction, I think this time it’s best to build like what Roland and I did at Great Slave Lake; constructing stone buildings can withstand more severe conditions."

Chen Wen shared his prediction, "With the global environment deteriorating, we can’t treat previous experiences as truths; we need to adapt!"

Hua Yun didn’t immediately agree, she couldn’t help but say, "But building like that will definitely raise our shelter construction difficulty, right? Do we have enough time and energy?"

Chen Wen chuckled, saying, "Don’t worry, we absolutely do. We can prioritize building two or three shelters, giving us a place to stay; six people building two or three shelters isn’t hard."

"We can slowly drag the remaining shelters and build them later."

While Chen Wen and Hua Yun were discussing, the first group of ten contestants had all gone down.

Chen Wen’s team was the second group, and the staff patted Chen Wen’s shoulder, signaling him to prepare.

Upon receiving the reminder, Chen Wen took a deep breath, and his expression gradually turned serious.

Though Lin Ji is said to be the simplest of the Eight Extremes Challenge, without careful attention, this challenge could possibly be Chen Wen’s downfall!

Because the Eight Extremes Challenge doesn’t have anything absolutely easy, they are only relatively simple.

Even for Chen Wen, there’s a chance of unexpected failure.

Though the probability is very small.

After waiting for a few minutes.

Beside Chen Wen, the staff patted his body: "Chen Wen, you can go down now!"

Upon getting the instruction, Chen Wen removed his eye mask.

He glanced around the current situation, finding himself already at the helicopter cabin door.

Looking down from far away, Chen Wen saw a large stretch of land with vibrant yellow and green colors, like a canvas.

He couldn’t help but squint; such vivid land colors seemed a bit glaring to him.

Quickly, Chen Wen adapted to the outside light.

"If you’re ready, you can slide down the rope, and be careful."

The staff saw Chen Wen’s face return to normal and reminded him.

Chen Wen nodded.

He looked back at his teammates, who were also blindfolded and brought near the cabin door.

After taking a deep breath, Chen Wen didn’t say much more.

He packed his gear, grabbed the rope, and started sliding down.

In about a few seconds, accompanied by a snap sound, Chen felt a pull at his waist.

He was at the bottom.

Chen Wen unclasped the buckle and gave a thumbs-up to the top, signaling his safe landing.

The staff received the message and also gave Chen Wen a thumbs-up, then quickly flew the helicopter away.

They had to drop off the rest of Chen Wen’s teammates.

...

After landing, Chen Wen surveyed the surroundings.

Very quiet, yet safe.

All around were flat forests, alongside towering Siberian Pines and Siberian Spruce; although many fallen leaves covered the ground, they didn’t hinder Chen Wen’s movement.

He tightened the supplies on his body, then released the Snowy Owl from the black cloth-covered cage.

After coming out, the Snowy Owl looked at the familiar surroundings and felt the familiar temperature; its previously tense mood instantly relaxed quite a bit.

Chen Wen didn’t immediately let the Snowy Owl busy itself with finding other teammates and members.

He merely allowed the Snowy Owl to adapt to the environment and familiarize itself with everything around.

While the Snowy Owl adapted, Chen Wen also didn’t stay idle.

He held a spear in his hand while looking around, grabbing a long stick too.

Chen Wen was on guard against snake venom!

Honestly, being cautious of snakes at Baikal Lake sounds slightly incredible.

However, indeed, there exists a kind of venomous snake here, known as the northern viper.

The snake venom isn’t lethal, at least for adults, but being bitten could lead to swelling, dizziness, vomiting, and the most severe symptoms occurring six hours later.
