Capture alive

On the other side, while the players were having a great time teasing the black bear, the refugees who had initially settled down in the research institute's outpost were also busy doing their jobs.

When the players are away, the entrance to the research institute has been completely sealed, so there is no need to worry about them discovering the secrets in the cave.

All instructions are transmitted through Lin Shuang, who has already reached an agreement with the player.

According to her instructions, these refugees must complete the construction of their own shelters in the last month before the arrival of the ice wave, and at the same time complete other construction tasks assigned by the players.

It has to be said that when there is sufficient food, the productivity of these refugees is extremely objective.

Although it is still not as good as the tireless players, at least within three days, this outpost has begun to take shape.

The main walls of three igloos have been completed, and the construction of the igloos used as greenhouses has also begun. A large pile of wood has been piled, and the construction of the wooden houses planned for the refugees to live in has also begun.

However, even so, just as Chen Jiu expected, not all the refugees were determined to follow them to the end.

In the hearts of many people, Xiahe Village is still their destination.

There is a sacred furnace there, their own families, and a night watch team that can ensure their safety.

What's here?

There are no defensive measures in the wilderness, and the most powerful weapons in the hands of the so-called "refugees" are just four weird-shaped bows and arrows.

If I really want to stay here for the winter, I'm afraid not even the bones will be left.

After all, the reason why the ice tide is terrifying is definitely not only because of the ultra-low temperature, but also because the colder the climate, the more frequently the beasts and monsters go out.

Why do those four refugees think they can survive the ice wave?

Therefore, it became the plan of some people to "cut down trees in exchange for food, and then return to Xiahe Village after getting enough food," and the number of these people was not low among the refugees.

Even though Xiahe Village has abandoned them.

Lin Wen waved the rusty ax in his hand. After the last chop, he wiped the sweat from his face, shouted a warning, and then pushed down the giant tree in front of him, which was more than a foot thick.

He had been fighting against this tree for a long time, and now that it was getting dark, he finally chopped down the tree.

The remaining work is to remove the branches and then divide them into small segments that can be used.

According to the standards of the refugees - or according to their self-proclaimed "leaders", this tree can bring him two kilograms of dried meat, plus the dried meat he saved in the past three days in his small shack.

It already weighs a full 10 pounds.

10 kilograms of dried meat would be enough for him to survive in the ice tide for more than ten days if he saved some food.

This is certainly not enough for him to survive the entire ice wave, but he still has food in Xiahe Village.

As long as he is alive, Xiahe Village cannot touch its own food reserves.

This means that he is only short of 30 kilograms of dried meat at most before he can save enough food to survive the ice wave.

As long as he works for ten more days, or at most half a month, he can return to Xiahe Village with this food, return to the warm sacred furnace, and return to his own home.

I am lucky. If I can survive this ice wave, I will probably become one of the longest-lived people in Xiahe Village.

However, this way, his wife and children will have to wait a little longer.

Just as he was imagining his life after the ice wave, a voice suddenly appeared beside him, interrupting his thoughts.

"Brother Wen, how much dried meat have you saved?"

Lin Wen looked back and saw that the person coming was his neighbor, Lin Fang, who was also over forty years old and also had no family.

He has a very good relationship with him and has taken care of each other in the past few years, so he doesn't intend to hide it.

"I have saved 10 kilograms. If I work for a few more days, I will have enough to go home."

Hearing this, Lin Fang showed a smile on his face.

"That's good, that's good! I have also saved 12 pounds. We are about the same. I think we can go back together then!"

"Yes. But don't let that girl Lin Shuang know this."

Lin Wen lowered his voice, pulled Lin Fang aside and said.

"Why?"

Lin Fang had a puzzled look on his face, he hadn't figured out the key yet.

"Are you stupid? Do you think these 'leaders' asked us to cut down trees and build houses for their own living? After building so many houses, can they live here?"

"They want us to stay!"

"Stay? But they didn't say anything!"

Lin Fang was shocked. He had always thought that what he was doing was just working for the so-called leaders, just like a helper in the village.

He never thought about staying, and even the temporary shack he built was as simple as possible, because he had no intention of staying there for a long time.

After hearing Lin Fang's words, Lin Wen sneered and said:

"They didn't say it, but wasn't that what they did?"

"These refugees, they think they can survive the ice wave by building an igloo or wooden house. This is too naive!"

"I think they are not very old, so they probably haven't really experienced an ice wave - the last ice wave was more than 20 years ago."

"They hunt well, but at most they have only hunted black bears. There are also tigers, snow leopards, night owls, and crampons in the mountains. Can they come over here?"

Lin Fang frowned and said hesitantly:

"But I think they seem to be pretty good. One of their leaders was obviously injured two days ago, but after one night, he suddenly recovered."

"I think these people are not that simple. Do you think they are strangers? Or are they monks?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Lin Wen shook his head firmly.

"Why? I think it's possible?"

"Have you ever seen monks who use bows and arrows to kill black bears? If they were really monks, they would kill black bears just for fun, and maybe even raise the bears to look after their homes."

"That's true, but"

Lin Fang wanted to continue speaking, but before he could finish his words, there was a commotion in the direction of the camp in the distance, followed by a earth-shaking bear roar!

It’s over!

The bear is really here!

Lin Fang and Lin Wen looked at each other and fell to the ground, confused for a moment.

Although he said it contemptuously before, the bear is still one of the top predators in this forest, and it is definitely not something ordinary people like them without weapons can deal with!

run?

Where to play?

The road to Xiahe Village is right next to the camp, but there are bears there!

Go another way?

There are traps everywhere in this Ten Thousand Cave Forest. If you walk around at will, you will die without a place to bury yourself!

"What to do! Brother Wen!"

Lin Fang's voice was trembling. He stared in the direction of the camp with wide eyes. His sight was blocked by the snow slope and he couldn't see anything.

Lin Wen on the side gritted his teeth, turned over and got up and said:

"Fight! Let's rush over from the camp! Lin Hai and the others are still in the camp. Pull them along and come out together. We can't leave them alone!"

With that said, he rushed towards the camp. Lin Fang hesitated for a moment and followed closely behind him.

The hearts of the two people were beating violently. At this moment, they truly realized the danger of this Ten Thousand Caves Forest.

Maybe in the next second, your life will be decided here.

What a pity, I thought I had lucked out, but the result was still the same.

However, maybe I will continue to be lucky, maybe the bear is just passing by, maybe it is eating someone else.

Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Wen's mind, but when he rushed to the edge of the camp, he suddenly froze.

Yes, there is a bear in the campground.

A terrifying giant black bear with claws filled with blood.

It looked ferocious, as if it was about to take away a life in the next second.

——

However, it was tied up.

It was tied up with a thin rope.

The other end of the rope was held in the hands of the "leader".

Just when his eyes moved toward the leader, the black bear roared restlessly again, causing the snow in the forest to rustle down.

Lin Wen's liver and gallbladder were split apart, and he could die in the next second.

A lightning-fast slap fell on the black bear's face.

The roar suddenly stopped.

Lin Wen stared at all this in stunned silence and stammered:

“Holy shit, are they really going to raise bears??”
