Chapter 60: Trouble Arises

Accompanied by a familiar electronic tone, a new mission prompt appears in front of Bi Fang.

Ding! Congratulations on triggering the side quest!

Mission Name: Blizzard Rescue!

Mission Content: In this freezing land, can you help the four stranded people escape?

Mission Reward: It depends on the number of survivors.

Current number of survivors: 4

Will you accept it?

Accept!

Without any hesitation, Bi Fang accepts the mission. Even without the system’s prompt, he wouldn’t leave these four people in the lurch.

And by saving them, his wilderness survival turns into a real-life scenario, enabling him to do many things that were previously off-limits. For Bi Fang, whose main skill is wilderness survival, this was undoubtedly a breakthrough!

The sky is pitch black; it is unclear whether it’s due to the thickness of dark clouds or the setting sun.

The firewood crackles as the five of them gather around it once more, feeling the scarce warmth amidst the bitter cold.

For some reason, after being helped up by Bi Fang, Zheng Tian looks at the man in front of him with full confidence, as if he will undoubtedly agree to their request and lead them out of the wilderness.

The other three also feel the same way. Bi Fang’s willingness to traverse the wilderness solo is undoubtedly stronger than their geographical expertise. If he could take them along, they might have a chance to survive!

They don’t want to die!

With that in mind, everyone gazes at Bi Fang, their intents clear. Even the viewers on the screen are tense, fearing that Bi Fang might decline, leaving the four at the mercy of the harsh wilderness.

If the professional Bi Fang finds it difficult to survive, how can ordinary people stand a chance?

Seeing the shivering foursome, Bi Fang lowers his head and smiles.

“Rest assured, I won’t leave you behind. Plus, it might be easier for four people to survive together.”

Wow! I knew the awesome Bi Fang wouldn’t abandon them!

Everyone is excited to hear Bi Fang’s promise, as if this statement alone will make their escape no longer a challenge.

Even the most indifferent person, seeing lives withering away before their eyes, cannot remain indifferent to it.

From Qinling to the northern wasteland, Bi Fang has proven his might, giving confidence to his viewers. They believe in him, in his ability to lead the four to safety.

A flurry of gifts starts flooding the screen.

User Pitinon-Gift provides the host with a spaceship.

NaNaNa gifts a yacht.

Bi Fang’s sudden freedom from his live streaming restrictions has the viewers excited.

…

Damn it!

The viewers couldn’t care less about the “most authentic” wilderness survival stream.

Angrily smashing his phone, Lu Wentao redirects all of his energy to punching a sandbag, pretending it’s his archnemesis.

For the past few days, Lu Wentao has been watching Bi Fang’s streams, trying to figure out how to beat him. However, seeing Bi Fang’s rising popularity, he realizes he’ll never catch up.

What will he do?

Once Bi Fang succeeds in the rescue, cashing in on the big news, Lu Wentao will have nothing to challenge him with.

He never expected Bi Fang would have such potential, leaving Lu Wentao far behind.

Damn it!

If given a chance to start over, he’d avoid ever streaming wilderness survival and basking in the limelight.

But now, there’s no turning back.

Once a frog has tasted the sky, how could it ever return to the pond, even if the world outside isn’t meant for it?

……

After getting Bi Fang’s assurance, the four of them seemed to have found their backbone. The previously shivering bearded man directly asked what they should do next. As staff members from the geography magazine, they had no problem setting up tents, but when it came to wilderness survival, they were completely at a loss.

Bi Fang glanced at the trembling four: “First, eat something. Then we’ll build a snow shelter. Once the daylight comes, we’ll identify which direction is south and set off. No one will be able to find us here, so it’s up to us to get out.”

“Won’t some people search for us? Why shouldn’t we stay put?” The injured man disagreed, “Since you’re live-streaming, someone must have called the police by now, so why not wait for help?”

“Because your GPS is broken, no one knows where this is. Can you pinpoint this exact corner of this forest by just a picture? And with the snowstorm nonstop, planes can’t carry out searches. If you don’t want to freeze or starve to death, we have to rely on ourselves! There’s no time for us to wait for help!”

Hearing Bi Fang’s explanation, everyone fell silent. It seemed the situation had gotten worse.

The viewers thought, ‘Isn’t it just listening to Bi Fang? Could it be that this guy has another solution?’

‘Although they don’t know about Bi Fang’s capabilities, he might be equivalent to an entire rescue team on his own.’

‘Indeed, these people probably wouldn’t know how awesome Bi Fang is if they hadn’t watched the live stream. He’s undoubtedly a professional survivor!’

‘That’s right, knowledge is power. This statement is completely accurate.’

Seeing that no one spoke up, Bi Fang looked at Zheng Tianfang.

“Do you have any supplies?”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tianfang got up, searched through the reserve box for a while, and returned to Bi Fang with a somber expression, placing a black bag on the ground: “This is all we have.”

Bi Fang went through the bag, which contained a compass, some compressed biscuits, frostbite ointment, and a first-aid kit.

He took out the alcohol and bandage and looked at the others, “Does anyone know how to disinfect and bandage?”

“I know!” The woman in the group raised her hand.

Bi Fang handed her the medical supplies, letting her treat the injured man’s leg wound again properly.

With the sounds of gasps, Bi Fang took out the rest of his clothing and let the sweaty-faced man change his inner layers to prevent sweating and losing more heat.

“Alright, now we need to build a snow shelter quickly. If you don’t want to freeze to death, start piling snow. Remember, the ground diameter must be at least four meters, and the height should be over two meters!”

Upon hearing Bi Fang’s command, all four of them instinctively sprang into action.

People always tend to rely on others’ suggestions when feeling panicked and distraught. Such was the case with the four of them who were feeling completely at a loss.

“This time we have five people. I can’t make five snow caves, so the snow cave I made yesterday won’t suffice. Today, I’ll teach you how to build a multi-person snow shelter that can accommodate everyone!”

As everyone got moving, Bi Fang explained the reason for piling up snow.

“First, we need to compact the snow on the ground. This will serve as the foundation. We can place our backpacks or any large items on top to reduce the amount of digging we’ll need to do later on.”

Bi Fang watched the others rolling up snow like snowballs while he stomped on the ground to ensure the snow was firmly packed. But as soon as he had done half of it, a scream came from the woods not far away!

Someone was in trouble!
