Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 280: Chapter 103: Moving Forward

After a night of being out of contact.

On the production team’s side, Abel was like an ant on a hot pan, constantly considering what to do next.

The best way is to report it to the police and let the police in the secondary town search.

The police in this town often handle these kinds of things.

As a popular spot for hiking, they deal with a large number of missing hikers every year.

Although there are no specific data statistics, they have definitely rescued quite a few people.

Otherwise, this place would have been notorious long ago. How could it still be standing firm in the Yukon wilderness relying solely on the hiking industry?

But what made Abel speechless was during the meeting with Belmont yesterday.

The biggest investor, Belmont, was very uneasy and also vetoed the proposal to call the police.

Belmont intended to hire some private rescue teams in his personal capacity to enter the Yukon Territory to rescue.

But as the temperature dropped and the snow loomed.

No one was willing to take the job.

However, the only consolation is that the missing contestant already has wilderness survival skills.

The production team members also had a large supply of heating devices and food, so there was no need to worry about life safety in the short term.

This is what Belmont thought, and this is what he said.

But these words were purely layman’s comments.

Abel told Belmont that there is a minimal probability that such a loss of contact is due to natural causes.

The most likely scenario is that something has happened.

Accidents are an unavoidable situation in wilderness survival.

Upon hearing this, Belmont’s face grew even grimmer, and he finally politely asked someone to escort Abel out.

Let Abel think of any method other than calling the police on his own.

And he himself locked himself in a room, pondering countermeasures.

Ever since the disappearance, he had been thinking of one person.

A descendant of one of the seven members who made their fortune during the gold rush: Pat Lawrence.

Unlike the purely merchant family, the Belmont Family.

The Lawrence Family is a half-business, half-political family, and Pat Lawrence is one of the political figures in the Yukon Territory.

His son is managing the family business.

There is almost no intersection between the Lawrence Family and the Belmont Family.

But after Belmont became interested in the legendary gold treasure, he discovered that Pat from the Lawrence Family was also eyeing this batch of treasure.

From that day on, Belmont knew that his biggest opponent in finding the treasure was Mr. Pat.

He used the bizarre form of filming a wilderness survival program to search for treasure to avoid Pat’s gaze.

But now it seems that this plan has failed.

After much hesitation, Belmont decided to contact Pat.

The situation is very complicated now, and it is difficult for him to take on this batch of gold treasure alone.

As a businessman, it is impossible for Belmont to give up the meat that’s already in his mouth.

Reporting it to the police would disclose everything about the treasure to the public.

It would also cause him to lose the opportunity to compete for the treasure.

When large amounts of gold mines emerge, the competition will not be limited to the dignitaries in the Yukon Territory.

By then, all dignitaries in Canada would be interested in this batch of treasure.

Even the dignitaries from that huge country to the south would step in.

The Belmont Family may have some influence in the Yukon Territory, but at that level, the Belmont Family would be nothing.

Therefore, Belmont decided to give up some benefits and negotiate cooperation with Pat.

But unexpectedly for Belmont, after contacting Pat.

The other party was anxious and angrily criticized Belmont for being greedy.

And ordered Belmont to restore communication as soon as possible.

Belmont did not speak, but instead fell into contemplation.

It doesn’t seem like Pat is the one behind this.

So who could it be?

Could there be a third-party force?

Belmont racked his brains but couldn’t figure it out. This accident was entirely due to Pat’s poor judgment of character.

He had called in a group of unruly mercenaries.

...

Over at Chen Wen’s side.

As daylight gradually broke, the two began a difficult stretch of the journey.

They needed to head to the production team’s camp in the upcoming time.

To contact the production team there and announce their withdrawal from the race.

But this stretch of road was not easy to traverse.

”The temperature is dropping and there’s heavy snow, we’re really unlucky.”

Chen Wen took a deep breath, and even with Red-Nosed Rudolph heating the air that entered his lungs.

He still felt as though his lungs were cold.

It seems that in truly low temperatures, the heating effect significantly diminishes!

Chen Wen shook his head, looking at Hua Yun.

Hua Yun was quite miserable in this situation.

Facing such low temperatures, all she could do was shiver.

”No... no choice, considering this is the harshest time in the Yukon...”

Walking against the strong wind and snow was indeed a challenge for Hua Yun.

She now somewhat envied Chen Wen’s constitution.

Whether in the scorching desert or the freezing coniferous forest.

Chen Wen seemed to adapt to the temperature at incredible speed.

The temperature had minimal impact on him.

Chen Wen sighed and said, ”Yeah, to be honest, I’m starting to worry if the production team might withdraw early. In such extreme temperatures, only tough ones will remain!”

”They’ll stay for money.”

After they started walking, Hua Yun felt a bit better and stopped stuttering in her speech: ”The production team set up this camp a bit earlier; they’re not living in tents but temporary houses built by a construction team. As long as fuel and food are plentiful, there’s no need to worry about the cold.”

These words made Chen Wen sigh once again about how having money is truly wonderful.

”Damn, when I get rich, I’ll definitely buy two tea eggs!”

Chen Wen’s words made Hua Yun laugh.

”I’ve heard that when guys get rich, they go for clubbing with young models. How come it becomes two tea eggs for you?”

Chen Wen shook his head: ”Just said it casually, but honestly, if I had money, I might not go clubbing with young models. I don’t have that kind of worldly desire.”

”Really speaking.”

”Okay, mainly because no one’s taking me, and I don’t know how to club with young models.”

”That really was honest.”

They chatted randomly while continuing forward.

However, when Hua Yun asked about what he most wanted to do with money, Chen Wen mentioned building homes for special animals.

”I plan to build a home for these animals I take, at least so they don’t have to live in the zoo.”

Chen Wen said, ”Do you think it has potential?”

”Well, if you want to keep them yourself, you’ll definitely need to find a sparsely populated area and build a house by yourself. Raising birds in an apartment is fine, but if you genuinely plan to keep a lynx, your neighbors would complain like crazy.”

Lynxes might seem harmless, like little kittens.

But when pushed, this creature could easily kill a child.

Especially children under six, who have almost no ability to fight back against wild beasts.

”But I wanted to ask, after building the house, would you still want to survive?”

”Of course, life is about constant struggle.”

Chen Wen responded cheerfully.

Besides money, he was also aiming to level up the system to its maximum level.

As someone with a compulsive gaming habit, he pursued full achievements in any game he played.

Without full achievements, it always felt like something was missing.

But Hua Yun replied, ”If that’s the case, I think you’d better let them stay in the zoo. Otherwise, after you leave, who will take care of them?”

Hiss!

Peanut, you’ve discovered a blind spot!

Chen Wen scratched his head; those words made a lot of sense.

Having ordinary people feed these special animals might not worry Chen Wen, but it would certainly worry ordinary people!

Take Golden Eagles, for instance; would ordinary folks dare to touch them?

”You make a good point. I guess I need to think more about how to settle these guys.”

Chen Wen shook his head, choosing not to dwell on it further.
