Chapter 782: Chapter 768 Searching for a Water Source, Settling Down (4000-Word Mega Chapter)

After the customary introduction, the live broadcast room descended into chaos.

“What’s this, a new show by the Central Mom? International filming, that’s big time!”

“Isn’t this the same deal as Bear and Ray? No, wait, they do short-term survival, and Yue Feng has to stay in the wilderness for 60 days, that’s two months!!”

“Near the Arctic Circle, the climate seems alright for now, but won’t this place turn into winter after a while? Any geography buffs want to give us a quick lesson?”

“Near the Arctic Circle, September is autumn with significant temperature differences between day and night, but autumn here is short. Once the cold fronts hit, temperatures will plummet rapidly! I guess the transitional season won’t last more than a month before winter arrives! Then, it’ll be ice and snow everywhere!”

“Isn’t Yue Feng playing a bit too big this time? Fishing and wilderness survival are quite different, we don’t expect you to win any awards, but please, please be safe!”

“The brother above is right, safety first. If it comes to it, we can just pull out. This show isn’t in your professional field, no shame in giving up!”

Yue Feng glanced at the chat’s reminders and concerns, feeling a warmth in his heart: “Don’t worry, brothers, I never fight unprepared battles. I’ve spent a long time preparing and learning specifically for this challenge! Out of the ten challengers, I’m the only one from China, and I won’t let you all down!”

Now, our challenge officially begins!

At the moment, the production team has dropped us off in an area chosen by lottery via helicopter! Before disembarking, I was blindfolded the whole time, only getting a glimpse of the terrain as we got closer!

When you reach a strange wilderness, you mustn’t panic. The first thing to do is to observe the surrounding environment and terrain quickly!

According to the rules of the show, we need to stay here for 60 days, and the temperature will drop significantly later on, so we need to find a place to build a shelter that will keep us warm from the cold!

Before choosing a shelter, the most important thing is to find the nearest water source! Since our primary equipment is a fishing rod, fish in the water are our easiest source of food! Alright, let me use the drone to see which direction we should head in!”

The next second, the drone swiftly rose, providing a view of the surroundings.

Soon, a grand expanse of water appeared beneath the camera’s lens, like a vast sea, its edges not discernible with the naked eye.

“Found the location of the big lake, it’s to the southwest of where we are! I estimate it’s about one or two kilometers away! Next, we’ll be fully equipped, carrying all our gear and heading to the lake’s shore! Let’s go!”

After a quick shout-out, Yue Feng began hiking in the chosen direction.

This area was clearly a mix of conifer forest and barren land with not many large trees and scattered stones and wild grass poking through in many places.

As the temperature at night had already dropped below zero, the edges of the grass leaves had taken on a withered, reddish hue, giving an especially bleak impression through the camera lens.

Carrying a full set of luggage and equipment on this terrain was relatively easy with a decent reserve of strength. In just over half an hour, Yue Feng arrived at the lakeside.

“Brothers, the first element of wilderness survival, water!

Without food, a person can survive for two weeks, but without water, one might die from dehydration within a couple of days! Besides drinking, places near water sources also attract more wildlife, so it’s easier for us to find food!

Now that we’ve found water, it means we’ve completed the first step of survival!

With such a large lake surface, the water quality is excellent and safe to drink directly!

It’s only nine in the morning, we’ve got plenty of time today, so I’ve decided to secure lunch first and then consider setting up camp in the afternoon!”

While talking, Yue Feng bent down and took a sip from the crystal-clear water.

The lake water was cool, tasted sweet and refreshing, just like spring water, of very good quality.

“Holy smokes, such an expansive body of water, totally uninhabited, it’s definitely brimming with fish!”

“Fishing master coming online, watch me strike a golden legend in one shot!”

“Time for fishing! Since we’ve got a free hand and it’s not against the rules, Yue Feng, try to catch something rare for us to taste!”

Everyone got excited hearing Yue Feng was about to fish.

Yue Feng set down his large backpack at his feet and swiftly assembled the fishing rod, line, and lure tied together.

While threading the line onto the equipment, he explained: “They say this lake is teeming with fish! For durability and safety, I chose a Lure Rod with a very distinctive American style. It’s robust and strong, hard to damage! I’m using 8-strand number 4 PE line, which can easily handle fish up to about twenty pounds. As for lures, which are consumable, I’ve only brought ten versatile medium-sized blades, so we’ll have to use them sparingly!”

As he spoke, Yue Feng reeled about fifty meters of PE line onto the spool, made a few quick adjustments, attached the blade, and the fishing gear was ready!

“Not sure about the situation underwater, so we have to be a bit conservative. I’ll remove the treble hook from the blade first. We’ll have a few empty casts to find the bottom and then make a decision!”

After speaking, Yue Feng removed the treble hook, assumed a standard casting pose, swung the fishing rod, and off it went!
