Chapter 348 I Can’t Stay in the Ice House Anymore (Subscribe)
But this time, Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing were not as nervous as before.

They stood at the entrance of the igloo, observing the situation outside through the gap. They saw the wolves wandering around the trap but never triggering it.

Meng Chao secretly rejoiced that his trap was cleverly designed. Not only was it highly concealed, but the trigger mechanism was also very sensitive. As long as the wolves were not careful, they would fall into the trap.

The wolves outside seemed to be aware of the existence of the trap and they began to become more cautious and careful.

However, hunger drives them to keep wandering around the igloo, looking for possible opportunities.

At this moment, a young gray wolf suddenly broke away from the pack. It seemed to be attracted by the fragrance emanating from the igloo and rushed towards the trap desperately.

Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing held their breath as they nervously watched the gray wolf approach the trap step by step.

Just as the gray wolf was about to trigger the trap, it suddenly stopped, as if it realized something was wrong.

However, it was too late. Meng Chao quickly pulled the trap mechanism, and a sharp ice cone instantly popped out from the snow and pierced the gray wolf’s body.

The gray wolf howled miserably and fell to the snow.

Seeing this, the rest of the wolves took a few steps back, fear and anger flashing in their eyes.

They seemed to realize that Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing were not easy to deal with, and began to disperse gradually.

Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing did not go out. The entire Arctic is a natural refrigerator.

If a wolf dies, it will also be frozen.

So, they don’t need to worry about the wolves going bad or anything.

“Let’s continue to sleep for a while. Our biological clocks are messed up.”

“It’s night time now.” Meng Chao pointed to his watch.

Wang Bingbing nodded and then lay back down.

The issue of biological clock is indeed a problem, especially in an environment like the polar day.

After Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing lay down again, neither of them fell asleep immediately.

The thrilling scene just now kept appearing in Wang Bingbing’s mind, and the shrill howl of the young gray wolf seemed to still echo in her ears.

She turned to look at Meng Chao and said softly, “Meng Chao, do you think the wolves will come back?”

Meng Chao frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then replied, “It’s hard to say. Wolves are very smart animals. After suffering a loss this time, they may not easily come again, but we can’t rule out the possibility that they will take risks again driven by hunger.”

The two were silent for a while, and Wang Bingbing asked again: “What should we do next? Staying in this igloo forever is not a solution.”

Meng Chao sighed and said, “We have to find a way to find more food and supplies, and we must also be prepared for another wolf attack.”

As time passed, the two gradually fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, they were awakened by a slight noise.

Meng Chao immediately became alert. He walked carefully to the entrance of the ice house and looked out through the gap.

It was still white outside and there was no movement.

But the sound filled him with doubts.

Meng Chao returned to Wang Bingbing and said softly, “I don’t know what that sound was just now. We have to be careful.”

Wang Bingbing nodded, a hint of worry in her eyes.

They waited quietly, time passed by, but they never heard the sound again.

After a while, Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing walked out of the ice house cautiously. The air outside was cold and fresh.

They carefully observed the surrounding environment and found that the gray wolf that was killed by the trap was still lying on the snow, frozen stiff.

Meng Chao walked over and checked the trap to make sure it was still working properly.

Just as they were about to continue looking for food and supplies, they suddenly saw a white shadow moving in the distance.

Meng Chao immediately pulled Wang Bingbing to hide behind a block of ice and observed the movements of the white shadow.

As the white shadow got closer, they finally saw clearly that it was a polar bear.

The appearance of the polar bear made Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing nervous again.

They knew that polar bears were extremely dangerous animals, more difficult to deal with than wolves.

Their arrows may not be able to break through the polar bear’s defense.

Unless, use a shotgun.

The problem is that Meng Chao and his friends didn’t carry this thing.

Meng Chao whispered: “We can’t act rashly. Let’s see where the polar bear is going.”

The polar bear didn’t seem to notice them. It walked slowly across the snow and headed in another direction.

Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly stepped forward and dragged the giant wolf’s body back into the ice house.

Now, they really don’t need to worry about food.

The temperature in the igloo is relatively high, so you won’t feel cold staying inside.

For Meng Chao, it is still relatively comfortable.

He needed to skin the wolf and then process its internal organs.

[Brother Chao, this North Pole is too boring. Where are we going next time? ]

[It is indeed a bit boring, especially staying in an igloo environment. ]

[Where is the boring part? You can watch Brother Chao and Bingbing at the same time. Isn’t it interesting? ]

[There are still three days left. Are we going to stay in the igloo all the time? ]

[I’m also thinking it’s a bit boring, why not go hunt polar bears? ]

[My Chao, please behave yourself. Why are you hunting polar bears? I don’t have any shortage of food now.]

Wang Bingbing looked at the barrage and needed to make some decisions based on the audience’s feedback.

If everyone feels bored, or the number of viewers decreases significantly, it means that everyone is tired of watching it.

The current situation is that everyone has clearly shown their dislike for it.

So, from now on, they can’t stay here any longer.

Meng Chao naturally saw it as well, and he and Wang Bingbing looked at each other.

Then he said, “It seems that everyone is tired of seeing us hiding in this igloo.” “We understand. It is indeed boring.”

“So, we’re going to pack up our things, make a sled and get out of here.”

Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing decided to build a sled so that they could move freely across the Arctic snow, dragging it to find new places to explore.

They know that making a strong and durable sled requires careful selection of materials and a meticulous production process.

First, they began looking for the materials needed to make the sled.

Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing went deep into the forest and began to carefully select the wood for the sled. They knew that the sled would need to bear the weight of two people and the supplies they might carry, so the wood had to be strong enough and light enough.

Meng Chao walked to a tall spruce, tapped the trunk with his hand, listened to the sound of the wood, and judged its texture. He nodded with satisfaction and said to Wang Bingbing, “This tree is good, the wood should be very strong.”

She picked up the axe, walked to Meng Chao, and prepared to cut down the tree together.

The two worked together and finally felled the spruce. They peeled off the bark and cut the wood into suitable lengths and widths, ready to take it back to the igloo for further processing.

After returning to the igloo, Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing began to make the frame of the sled.

They first cut the wood into predetermined sizes and then tied them together firmly with ropes to form a stable rectangular frame.

During this process, the two cooperated very well.

Meng Chao was responsible for cutting and polishing the wood, while Wang Bingbing was responsible for bundling and fixing.

They communicated from time to time to ensure that every step was carried out according to plan.

Next, they needed to build the slide for the sled.

Meng Chao suggested using the method of flattening and polishing the bottom of the wooden block to reduce the resistance of the sled during sliding.

Wang Bingbing agreed to the proposal and began to flatten and polish the bottom of the wooden block.

She operated it carefully, fearing that she would accidentally damage the overall structure of the sled.

Meng Chao helped hold the wooden block to ensure it would not shake.

After a period of hard work, the sliding part of the sled was finally completed.

Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing carefully checked every detail of the sled to ensure it was strong and durable enough.

Finally, they also need to make some accessories for the sled, such as handrails, foot pedals, etc., so that it can be more convenient to control and drive during driving.

Meng Chao found some discarded ropes and wood blocks and started making these accessories.

He first fastened the ropes to the sled’s frame, then fashioned the handrails and footrests and mounted them securely to the sled.

Wang Bingbing helped to sort out the waste materials and tools generated during the production process to ensure that the interior of the igloo remained tidy.

When the sled was finished, Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing both smiled with satisfaction. They looked at the sled they had made with their own hands, and their hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment.

“We need to try out whether this sled works well,” Meng Chao suggested.

Wang Bingbing nodded, and the two of them dragged the sled out of the igloo together.

They sat on the sled, pulled it with ropes, and slid some distance over the snow.

The sled glided extremely smoothly on the snow, like a light swallow flying freely in the world of ice and snow.

Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing were both very excited and satisfied. They knew that this sled would be a great helper in their next adventure.

“We have to pack up and get ready to go.” Meng Chao said.

Wang Bingbing nodded, and the two began to load the previously collected supplies and gray wolf meat onto the sled.

They were preparing to leave the igloo where they had stayed for a long time and explore the wider Arctic world.

The sled slid extremely smoothly on the snow, which showed that the sled they made was a success.

“It looks like the effect is good. This makes us feel more relaxed.”

“If we can catch a wolf and use it as a dog, it should be quite effective, right?” Meng Chao couldn’t help but say.

[Chao Ye, do you know what you are saying?]

[That’s a good idea. Ancient people also captured wolves and gradually domesticated them into dogs, right?]

[I really dare to think about it. I think Chao Ye still has this ability. 】

[Why don’t we catch one and give it a try? I’ll get a muzzle or something. I believe in Chao Ye’s ability.]

[It’s too much for a wolf to pull a sled. Do you want to tire the wolf to death? 】

[I think it’s okay to put some meat hanging in front. 】

[Please, those are the ones you raised from childhood, but the wild wolves the author caught along the way will only kill you. ]

Wang Bingbing looked at the comments in the live broadcast room, smiled and shook her head, and said to Meng Chao: “It seems that the audience is very interested in your idea, but the idea of ​​catching wolves as sled dogs is indeed a bit bold.”

Meng Chao also laughed. He knew it was just a joke. After all, safety is the most important thing when surviving in the wild. He responded, “Yeah, I was just joking. We can’t really catch wolves. But if we can come across some abandoned dogs, we can consider it.”

The two continued to move forward, leaving deep tracks on the snow. They walked along the Arctic snow, admiring the world covered in silver. Although the weather was cold, their hearts were full of enthusiasm and expectation.

As time went by, they gradually moved away from the previous igloo and came to a more open snowy area, where there were no traces of human beings, only the most primitive beauty of nature.

Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing stopped to rest. They sat on the sled and enjoyed the tranquility and beauty. Wang Bingbing took out a water bottle, handed it to Meng Chao, and said, “Drink some water, take a rest and then we will continue to move forward.”

Meng Chao took the kettle, took a sip, then looked into the distance and said, “I don’t know what’s waiting for us ahead, but I believe that as long as we unite as one, nothing can stump us.”

Wang Bingbing nodded. She looked at Meng Chao’s determined eyes, and her heart was filled with confidence and courage. She knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered, as long as she was with Meng Chao, she would be able to face them bravely.

At this moment, they suddenly heard a strange cry. It sounded like the cry of some animal, but it was a little different. Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing immediately became alert. They put down the kettle, picked up the weapons beside them, and walked carefully in the direction of the sound.

After searching for a while, they finally found a small cave covered by snow. This cave looked like the nest of some animal, but they didn’t know what kind of animal it was.

Meng Chao signaled Wang Bingbing to step back, and then he approached the cave carefully and used a stick to gently push away the snow at the entrance. As the snow gradually dissipated, a furry little head poked out of the cave.

This is a little Arctic fox. It looks very cute, but there is a hint of fear in its eyes. Meng Chao looked at the little Arctic fox and felt pity for it. He knew that it is not easy for small animals to survive in the wild and they need to face various dangers and challenges.

He gently said to the little Arctic fox, “Don’t be afraid, we won’t hurt you.” Then he continued to use a stick to clear the snow at the entrance of the cave so that the little Arctic fox could come out smoothly.

The little Arctic fox seemed to feel Meng Chao’s kindness. It slowly walked out of the cave, then stood on the snow, looking at Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing curiously.

Wang Bingbing couldn’t help laughing as she looked at the cute little Arctic fox. She said, “It looks like it’s thanking us.”

Meng Chao also smiled and said, “Yes, it seems that we not only got an unexpected surprise this time, but also received gratitude from nature.”

Since there was no shortage of food, they naturally had no need to harm the little Arctic fox.
