Chapter 160: Did You Hear Heavy Breathing?

However, that single sentence was quickly buried under waves of bullet comments.

At the exact same time.

To celebrate successfully surviving twenty full days in the snow-capped mountains, Wen Yan and Jiang Wanwan had constructed a simple makeshift sauna room.

The two ladies couldn't bear the thought of going a whole month without taking a bath, so they simply bound together a wooden bucket.

Even though the bucket leaked due to a lack of professional tools, they had waterproof tarp, which perfectly solved the issue.

At first, the audience in the livestream room didn't understand why they would spend extra effort building another small hut when they already had a main camp, but now they got it.

[Mind-blown! While the other teams are still migrating to find new places to live, these two sisters actually built a sauna room!]

[It feels like they're years ahead of the other teams, hahaha.]

[Though credit where credit's due, female celebrities really are female celebrities, even after twenty days without bathing or makeup, they still look so gorgeous. How come their cheeks freezing red looks like blush, while my red cheeks look like plateau redness? Sob sob, green with envy!]

[Hahaha, there really is a wall between female stars and ordinary people. Must say, they're truly born with natural beauty.]

[Plus, they really know how to live life, and their mindset is fantastic.]

[Heh, keep praising them here all you want, but I really don't get what this team is doing. With all that spare time, why not go hunt for food instead? You can't even eat your fill, what the hell is the point of a bathhouse? Putting the cart before the horse!]

[Exactly! They don't seriously think they came here on vacation, do they? Please, this is wilderness survival!!]

[Oh lord, are those two above haters? How can you guys still not get it? Because they have capability, they turned wilderness survival into a wilderness vacation, can you understand that logic? Speechless.]

[Right on. The other teams couldn't even go on vacation even if they wanted to.]

[Did the people above even watch the stream properly? The Wen-Wan team didn't bring tools like bows and arrows; they rely on traps to catch food. They only need to check them every other day, so they don't need to constantly hang around in the wild at all.]

[Oh, by the way, just to educate the haters: setting traps is also a skill. It requires experience and intelligence, it's not something just anyone can pull off, okay?]

Indeed, Wen Yan couldn't craft anything overly sophisticated when it came to traps, she could only dig holes in the ground.

However, Jiang Wanwan had plenty of tricks up her sleeve; she could work wonders with just metal wire.

Wen Yan had also picked up a few simple, easy-to-use techniques from her.

Although their harvest over the past few days hadn't been overly abundant, and could even be called a drop in the bucket compared to Yin Haoyu's team, with careful rationing, the two of them could at least enjoy a portion of meat every single day.

However, because the snow was so deep, every trip in and out of the forest proved extremely difficult.

After several days of observation, they decided to switch to a different location to search for food.

"Why don't we go to the lake and try our luck?" Wen Yan suggested. "On the day we almost got lost, I saw a spot where the ice layer was relatively thin. I feel like we could try smashing the ice and casting a net. Do you think that's feasible?"

The two discussed matters with mutual respect and quickly reached a consensus.

After drinking a bowl of steaming hot chicken frame soup, the two dragged their fishing net and axe, heading out from the camp.

After a busy afternoon, they managed to hurry back to their cozy small wooden cabin right before darkness fell.

The next day, the two specifically chose to head out at noon, when temperatures were highest during the day, to retrieve the net.

Right at this moment, a message suddenly floated across the bullet screen chat:

[Fam in the livestream room, do you guys know that Alex and Shen Jinghe are currently migrating along the lake shore?]

[What? What lake surface? I wasn't watching them.]

[I watched! I watched! Tell me, could the lake they're at be the exact same lake?!]

[I think it's very likely, ah!]

[No way, right? At the very start of the show, the production team said they would drop everyone at separate locations. Reasonably speaking, they shouldn't have dropped them this close.]

[You might not know, but Alex and Shen Jinghe have been walking along the lake for two days! Even if this is a super massive lake, two days' time is enough to cover half a circuit around it, right?]

[Unlikely. Snow of this depth makes walking virtually impossible. Didn't you see how every time Wen Yan and her partner go check their traps, they have to wade through the snow? In some places, the snow reaches up to their waists!]

[Bestie, you might have overlooked one point: the lake surface froze over long ago. Walking on snow is tough, but gliding on ice is pretty slick...]

[Oh right! That makes sense! I didn't think of that point at all! In that case, there's a huge chance the two teams will run into each other, ah! I'm so excited!!! I declare this to be the moment I'm most looking forward to in the entire show!]

[*Me too!*]

[*I know you guys are excited, but hold your horses first. Is it possible that on day one they had already picked a new campsite?*]

[Uh, is it possible that I have both livestreams open and saw that they haven't stopped to set up camp at all?]

[Ahhh, I don't care! I'm craning my neck in anticipation! Cameraman, can you tilt the lens toward the distance?]

[Damn it, they don't even know which direction to point the lens! We don't even know which direction they're in right now! Left or right?]

[East, I think! Or maybe west.]

Wen Yan had no idea that the two Shen brothers were currently searching for a new foothold along the lake.

She only hoped they could catch fish today, preferably lots and lots of fish.

Setting that fishing net under the ice yesterday had almost cost her and Jiang Wanwan half their lives; it was truly, deeply exhausting.

She didn't want all that hard work to be for nothing.

She literally ran toward the netting hole.

Seeing her run so fast, Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but pick up her pace as well.

"Wen Yan, slow down! If there really are fish, dead or alive, they won't be able to run away."

"I know." As she spoke, Wen Yan had already swung up the axe.

She needed to chop this netting hole a bit wider so it would be easier to pull the net in a moment.

"Damn it, it's only been one night, and the ice on this lake surface got another layer thicker. This is such a pain."

"Then let's take turns."

Ever since successfully teaming up, the two had always taken turns doing physical labor. Whenever one got tired, the other would take over the task and keep going.

As she was chopping away, Wen Yan suddenly froze mid-motion.

Jiang Wanwan frowned. "What's wrong? Hand cramp?"

"No." Wen Yan gripped the axe tightly in her hand, holding her breath for a moment, feeling a bit tense. "I... think I heard the sound of heavy breathing. But that definitely isn't coming from the two of us. Did you hear it?"

Jiang Wanwan held her breath as well. Yes, she heard it too, even amidst the howling cold wind, that heavy breathing was remarkably distinct.

And at this precise moment, the livestream's bullet comments had already completely plastered the entire screen:

[AHHHH! Shen Jinghe and Alex! They actually found them!]

[Not easy at all, they finally joined forces!]

[What did I say? I knew they were bound to meet!]

[Sob sob sob, Alex's dream has finally come true! Counted rounded off, he's basically teamed up with little cutie Wen Yan now. Confetti, confetti!]

[Turn around, turn around, hurry up and turn around!]

[Hahaha, Wen Yan doesn't dare to! I feel like she's already scared out of her mind!]

[Alex, hurry up and speak! If you don't make a sound, I'm seriously worried Wen Yan will turn around and swing an axe right at you, and then this show will probably be done for!]
