Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Zhaxi Cizhu and his group arrived quietly and left stealthily.

If it weren’t for the box of goods he still held, Chen Wen would almost feel as if they had never been here.

”Chen Wen, did those people just leave like that?”

The Golden Eagle descended with a flap of its wings, eyeing the departing cars.

”Yes, they have other matters to handle over there.”

Chen Wen said, ”I hope this time we can smoothly capture that whole group of Hunting Owls in one net. Tsk, this world is truly absurd. There’s actually such a ridiculous poaching organization, hiding like cockroaches, resilient and tough, kill one and there are many more hiding in the dark.”

The Golden Eagle tilted its head, not understanding this.

However, it knew about cockroaches: ”Cockroaches? I’ve heard of them; Little Grey Ji seems quite interested in trying the taste of cockroaches. It wanted to tell you earlier but never got the chance.”

Hearing this, Chen Wen couldn’t help but wrinkle his nose, showing a disgusted expression: ”Ugh~ I’ll definitely forbid it from eating those weird things in the future. Isn’t it disgusting?”

The Golden Eagle tilted its head again.

Disgusting?

They’re all insects, what’s disgusting about it?

It felt that the human world was too complex; clearly, many people even eat those plump bugs and yet find another kind disgusting.

In the Golden Eagle’s aesthetic sense, that bug is actually a bit more disgusting than cockroaches, plump and round, at least cockroaches have legs...

Chen Wen naturally wouldn’t discuss aesthetic matters with the Golden Eagle.

He glanced at the box on the ground, intending to see what’s inside and wait for Xiong Ma and the others to come over.

Upon opening the box, the first thing he saw was a machete.

Chen Wen picked it up; the machete was well-maintained, hardly any rust, the blade was long, somewhat like an enlarged version of a Nepalese kukri, like the ones in some shooting games.

However, the curve wasn’t very pronounced.

This thing came in time, Chen Wen was quite in need of such medium to close-range combat tools now.

Good for self-defense!

Thinking this, Chen Wen put the machete away.

Underneath, there was a relatively large water bottle, which caught Chen Wen’s eye even more.

Great find!

He was now starting the second half of survival — trekking to the core area for the final showdown.

This kind of tool for fetching water was exactly what he was lacking.

Just what I need!

Chen Wen picked up the water bottle, opened the cap, and sniffed.

But soon, he couldn’t help but frown: Damn! The Tibetan folks are really bold! The bottle was filled not with water, but with baijiu!

And it was the high-alcohol kind, with a very strong alcohol smell!

This stuff was much better than water, which could only quench thirst. Besides drinking, it could also be used to treat wounds or do other things.

Chen Wen put the cap back on and grinned.

Very useful stuff!

Then, Chen Wen glanced at the remaining items.

The rest were food items, various flavored compressed biscuits, some dried fruits, etc. They appeared to be in large quantities and quite heavy.

However, they solved Chen Wen’s problem of nutritional imbalance.

”Are these things useful?”

The Golden Eagle asked curiously, noticing that Chen Wen was silent the whole time.

”Yes, they’re quite useful.”

Chen Wen replied with a smile, ”And the person who prepared these things was very thoughtful, obviously well-versed in survival needs. They sent supplies that are urgently needed in the latter stages of survival. Very considerate!”

From the moment the news was received last night until now, to prepare so many survival items showed that the person was indeed very attentive.

Of course, it also had to do with what Chen Wen had been doing.

Single-handedly evading the pursuit of poaching organizations, he even managed to capture a member of a poaching organization and gathered information on the entire poaching gang.

This was truly a major achievement for the reserve.

If they could capture all these poachers, the reserve would surely receive commendations from above, and many people’s careers might take a significant leap forward as a result.

In one’s career, one quick step leads to many more quick steps.

So Chen Wen’s help this time was even more important than he imagined.

...

Meanwhile.

While Chen Wen was examining his haul, over on the small mound, Zhaxi Cizhu seemed like a different person, his face as grave as water, staring at Sun Qian.

The bearded man and the harelip were separated and taken to other places for interrogation by others.

”Speak!”

Zhaxi Cizhu said harshly, ”Speak now, and everything will be negotiable. You people should be more familiar with the policies than I am.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Qian had a faint look of embarrassment on his face.

He thought for a moment and decided to say, ”Okay, I’ll tell you everything I know.”

Before Zhaxi Cizhu could say more, he started talking like a bamboo tube pouring out beans, revealing everything he could, including the issues about the bearded man and the harelip, and also matters concerning Scar.

At the other two locations, the bearded man and the harelip, as if they had rehearsed with Sun Qian beforehand, also had no hesitation and revealed everything they could.

The bearded man talked until his throat was dry, and a staff member from the reserve poured him a glass of water. He drank while continuing to talk, without pause.

The choices made by the three were unwittingly in sync.

On any matter related to poaching, they pushed all the blame onto Scar, claiming that they were forced into it, with their wives and children under Scar’s control, and if they disobeyed Scar, their families would be threatened.

However, such matters did not escape the experienced Zhaxi Cizhu, who, under harsh questioning, managed to extract some more information from Sun Qian’s mouth.

After a while.

Zhaxi Cizhu and the other two colleagues responsible for the interrogation gathered together.

After aligning their information, they all had excited smiles on their faces.

”The facts are clear now, three organizations, cooperating in operations, disguised as mine workers to poach wildlife in the reserve for a long time, regardless of whether it’s live animals or skins, the amount should be substantial!”

Zhaxi Cizhu said, although a trace of hesitation lingered in his eyes.

He had a constant feeling that things seemed to be going too smoothly this time.

Meanwhile, the other two colleagues were immersed in their harvests.

One couldn’t help but say, ”The amount must be enormous, according to Danzeng Ciren (the bearded man), their latest poaching haul of just Tibetan antelope and yak skins filled half a truck!”

”This time, we’ve finally cut out the last cancerous sore in the reserve!”

Another couldn’t help but sigh.

Zhaxi Cizhu, however, was scanning his surroundings, his eyes far away as if in another world.

But just as the other two continued their discussion.

Zhaxi Cizhu suddenly asked, ”Where’s Dawa? Why haven’t I seen him? Where did he go?”

Upon hearing this, one of them said, ”Maybe he went to relieve himself? Do you need something from him?”

Before he could finish, Zhaxi Cizhu suddenly stood up.

With no hesitation, he quickly walked outside.

He hadn’t gone far.

Zhaxi Cizhu spotted Dawa, a staff member from the reserve.

When Dawa saw Zhaxi Cizhu, he shuddered slightly.

He quickly composed himself, smiled, and asked, ”Boss, what’s up? Are we leaving?”

Zhaxi Cizhu didn’t speak, just stared at Dawa, his eyes scanning over Dawa’s body repeatedly.

”Boss?”

Dawa looked at Zhaxi Cizhu with a bewildered expression, sweat beginning to seep from his body.

After a full minute of silence, when others sensed something was off and started to gather near, Zhaxi Cizhu finally spoke slowly.
