Chapter 65: Million-Dollar Reward

The night was uneventful.

When Bi Fang woke up the next day, he stopped Big Beard Hu Hao, who was about to add firewood to the bonfire: “That’s enough; we have to hit the road.”

Hu Hao nodded and extinguished the dwindling fire with snow.

Bi Fang looked up at the sky; the wind no longer felt like a slicing blade, and the blizzard had diminished. The snowflakes were now sparse in the sky.

The drone rose, and the third day of live streaming began.

I’m so sleepy; hasn’t Fang God woken up?

He should be up soon. It’s 8 a.m., usually it starts at this time.

Wow, did you guys not sleep all night?

Yeah, I am afraid of missing the big scene if any emergency happens. I am a hardcore fan of Fang Ye, been following since the first live broadcast. But Fang God is truly amazing, not showing up for a whole night, and his popularity is still above 50,000. Any other anchor would lose it all if they were absent for even 5 minutes. This is incredibly awesome!

I also watched the first live broadcast on B Island. It was amazing! Wow, the drone is moving!

It’s moving; it’s moving! It’s starting!

Many viewers, who were chatting in the live stream room, became overexcited when they saw the drone rising.

I’ve waited all night; finally, it’s time!

Perhaps because there was no announcement of the live streaming, the number of people hadn’t skyrocketed. Seeing this, Wang Yongbo, who was monitoring the data backstage, was alarmed and hurriedly shouted at a staff member.

“Quick, send out a live stream announcement!”

“Uh… that’s not according to the rules…” The staff hesitated, as he had never heard of such a thing before.

“Who pays your salary?”

“The Finance Department…” the staff said weakly.

Wang Yongbo slapped his face and glared at him: “Just do what I say! Rules are set by people; why do you care so much?”

The staff member shrank his neck, picked up the mouse, and began sending the live stream announcement.

Instantly, the steadily rising number of viewers in the live stream spiked and broke through 60,000!

‘Morning, Fang God; did you sleep with your sister last night (joking)?’

‘Serious… Be serious, we’re trying to survive! Why are you laughing?’

‘Wearing such thick clothes, what’s the feeling? You can tell they’re all pure-minded young men.’

‘Yes, the weather is so cold, there’s no place for worldly desires.’

‘But why isn’t there any news yet? Technically, there should have been some last night. Reporters’ noses are better than dogs!’

‘Yeah, I’m curious too; it feels like the news is being suppressed.’

The drone flew to Bi Fang, and upon seeing the barrage, he twitched at the corner of his eye. Luckily, Zheng Tian and others didn’t see the chat, otherwise it would be socially embarrassing. However, he was also curious about the absence of news, but didn’t think too much about it. Perhaps there were reasons for that.

Coughing twice, Bi Fang pointed at the white expanse surrounding them: “The arrival of the wolves last night was no coincidence. It is difficult for the wolves to track the scent of blood in a blizzard. We have likely entered their active range. Although nothing happened last night, it doesn’t mean we’re safe.”

“Wolves are cunning and patient creatures. Their intelligence is even more evident in a pack. We must be cautious and take advantage of the lighter snow today to distance ourselves from this area as much as possible.”

Being in a pack of wolves was very dangerous. If he had the choice, Bi Fang would prefer to face a black bear again rather than engage with wolves. Ordinary people could not fight them unless they had hunting rifles or iron weapons.

These predators were not only highly intelligent but also extremely ferocious. When gathered, even lions and tigers couldn’t compete.

The number of wolves Bi Fang saw last night might have reached up to 20!

This was quite a large pack, as a group of wolves generally had around seven members—the so-called “seven wolves.” A few deviations had numbers that fluctuated above or below seven.

Moreover, due to their strict hierarchy and territorial scope, wolf packs couldn’t cooperate with or merge with other packs. So, the hundred-member wolf pack from novels didn’t exist in reality.

Thus, a pack of twenty or more wolves was rare.

As for packs of thirty or more, they could only be seen in documentaries. An encounter signified that either human activity hadn’t affected them, or it was a case of survivorship bias.

So dangerous! Chased by real wolves?

Fang God is really courageous, fighting off bears and now retiring wolves. Will he go fight a tiger in the future?

Ling Xuefeng should come and watch. I want to see his monkey-like expression again.

Wow, are you a follower from that time when he went to check property?

What a coincidence, eh? It’s a pity Fang God switched platforms. I dare say Shark Blood must be regretting it now. With Fang God, Wolf Fang has over 600,000 viewers while Shark didn’t even get 1 million?

Shh, be careful what you say! Don’t you remember that the Boss of Wolf Fang also watches Fang God’s live streams?

Ah, right, right, my bad. Almost forgot. Congratulations to Wolf Fang for acquiring a strong player; they will get past Tiger Teeth and step on Shark, becoming the best in the world. Boss, can you see this message and upgrade my account level? Thank you!

The viewers in the live stream room teased and joked as always.

Bi Fang once again determined the direction and said to Zheng Tianfang and others who were emerging from the snow cave, “We need to dig some snow pits and such, even though it may not block much…”

However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the lame Wu Mingtao, recalling the dense, cruel green eyes they encountered last night, he stammered, “Wait! What do you mean? Snow pits? Are you trying to fight these wolves? Have you gone mad? Didn’t you say yesterday we shouldn’t provoke them? We aren’t a threat to them!”

“Because next time they might attack us…”

Seeing someone oppose Bi Fang’s decision, the audience members instantly became discontent with Wu Mingtao. From the beginning, he had been nothing but a hindrance. Wu Mingtao had wanted to escape when the wolves arrived last night but was held back by Zheng Tianfang.

People are not as united as the wolves. If you can’t contribute, at least be obedient and stop making suggestions!

To be honest, this guy is very annoying, seems like he is scared to death.

Is he even willing to survive? He doesn’t have any spirit to resist!

Ah, come on, I would be the same…

“Why?” Hu Hao also failed to understand; they hadn’t attacked the wolf pack.

“Because we are a threat.” Bi Fang looked at the fearful crowd and explained patiently.

“The animals’ probing is gradual; last night was the first time. If we don’t counter their probing with proper measures, their courage will grow. Next time, simply confronting them might not be enough to scare them off.”

After Bi Fang’s explanation, everyone fell silent for a while. Then Zheng Tianfang immediately started digging snow pits without further ado. With someone taking the lead, everyone quickly followed suit.

Observing the surroundings, Bi Fang decided to head towards the dense forest to the southeast to have more cover and avoid being charged by the pack of wolves.

As he was packing his things, the originally limited barrage of comments suddenly became dense, appearing like a tidal wave in his line of sight!

Startled by the massive barrage, Bi Fang didn’t have time to read them, and his instinct was to draw his knife and survey the area cautiously. However, after looking around, he couldn’t find any danger.

Strange, there’s no danger; why did the netizens suddenly send so many comments?

Bi Fang scratched his head and finally began to read the content of the barrage carefully. But as soon as he finished reading one, his pupils constricted.

Congratulations to Lin Chang for opening the Emperor membership in Fang’s live broadcast room!
