Chapter 358 Three months have passed in the blink of an eye (Subscription Request)
Meng Chao stepped into the depths of the forest, where the trees were denser and the light was dimmer.

He walked carefully, every step was full of vigilance. The depths of the forest were quiet and mysterious, as if hiding countless secrets and dangers.

The stone axe and spear in his hands are his only weapons and tools. Meng Chao knows that in this unknown land, he must rely on his own strength and wisdom to meet all challenges.

Soon, Meng Chao found a stream. The water was clear and flowing through the dense forest. He squatted down and scooped up a handful of water to drink. The cool stream water moistened his throat and also made him feel a little cool.

Meng Chao knew that there were often small animals near the stream, so he decided to continue along the stream, hoping to find more food sources.

Sure enough, in a bush not far away, he found a squirrel foraging for food. The squirrel moved quickly and agilely, but Meng Chao gradually approached it with calmness and patience.

He held the stone axe tightly in his hand, ready to attack at any time. When the squirrel turned around again, Meng Chao quickly swung the stone axe and hit the squirrel accurately.

Although it is not as convenient as a spear for long-range attacks, the power of a stone axe should not be underestimated at close range.

Meng Chao brought the squirrel back to the camp, cleaned it and roasted it into a delicious meal.

At dinner time, he sat by the campfire, tasting the prey he had caught with his own hands, his heart filled with satisfaction and pride.

As night fell, Meng Chao lit the bonfire again. He sat beside the fire and quietly thought about tomorrow’s plan.

He knew that as he lived longer, his needs for food and shelter would become more urgent.

In order to find more food sources and possible shelter, Meng Chao decided to continue exploring deeper into the forest tomorrow.

He plans to make some more efficient traps to catch small animals, and also hopes to find some crops that can be grown to build up his own food reserves.

While thinking, Meng Chao suddenly thought of the cement mentioned by the audience.

He decided to try to find some materials to make simple cement tomorrow. If successful, he could use cement to build a more solid and comfortable shelter.

Thinking of this, Meng Chao felt excited and expectant.

He knew that although survival in the wilderness was full of difficulties and challenges, it was also full of infinite possibilities and opportunities.

As long as we face challenges bravely and actively seek solutions to problems, we will be able to find hope of survival in this unknown land.

As the night deepened, Meng Chao gradually felt tired. He closed his eyes and let his thoughts drift away with the jumping of the campfire.

In his dream, he seemed to see himself growing and improving in the wilderness, and also saw the beautiful picture of sharing his wilderness survival experience with the audience in the future.

When the first ray of sunlight shone through the treetops and onto Meng Chao’s face, he quickly stood up and lit a bonfire. After a simple breakfast, he put on his backpack and set off on a new journey.

On this day, Meng Chao went deeper into the forest.

He traveled through dense woods and crossed fast-flowing streams, constantly searching for possible sources of food and shelter.

During the exploration, he discovered many interesting things.

For example, some colorful mushrooms. Although he knew that many mushrooms were poisonous, he still carefully collected some harmless-looking mushrooms and planned to take them back to the camp to study whether they were edible.

In addition, Meng Chao also discovered some wild fruit trees.

The trees were full of ripe fruits, exuding an enticing aroma. He happily picked some fruits for today’s lunch.

At lunch time, Meng Chao sat under a big tree and tasted the fruits he picked himself.

These fruits were sweet and delicious, making him feel extremely satisfied and happy.

He knows very well that these fruits are hard to come by, so he cherishes this gift from nature even more.

In the afternoon, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, dappling onto the ground, forming patches of light. Meng Chao decides to continue his exploration, looking for the materials needed to make simple cement. He knows that this will not be an easy task, but he has no intention of giving up.

As he walked, he paid attention to his surroundings. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a pile of strange rocks. These rocks were gray in color and had some special textures on the surface. Meng Chao’s mind moved, and he remembered that the audience had mentioned that certain types of rocks could be transformed into cement-like substances under high temperatures.

He approached the rock pile, carefully observed and selected a few rocks that looked suitable. Then, he carefully smashed the rocks with a stone axe, collected the fragments and put them in his backpack. Although he was not sure whether these rocks were really useful, Meng Chao decided to collect some and try them out.

Continuing forward, Meng Chao found another open area covered with various plants. He observed carefully and found that the juice of one of the plants seemed to be sticky. He remembered that the audience said that the juice of some plants could be used as a binder for cement.

Meng Chao quickly collected some of the plant, carefully squeezed out the juice, wrapped it in leaves and put it in his backpack. So far, he has collected the basic materials needed to make simple cement.

As the sky gradually darkened, Meng Chao decided to return to the camp. After returning to the camp, he immediately began to try to make cement. He first put the rock fragments into the fire and calcinated them at high temperature. As the flames burned, the rock fragments gradually changed and became more delicate.

At the same time, he poured the collected plant juice into a container and stirred it with a wooden stick to make it more uniform. When the rock fragments were calcined to a certain degree, Meng Chao took them out and quickly mixed them with the plant juice.

After a period of stirring and shaping, a simple cement block gradually took shape. Meng Chao was full of anticipation, and he quietly waited for the cement block to dry so that he could test its strength.

As night fell, Meng Chao lit the bonfire again. He sat beside the fire, his heart full of longing for tomorrow. He knew that if the cement blocks were made successfully, he would be able to build a more solid and comfortable shelter.

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the cement block, Meng Chao couldn’t wait to check its strength. He found that after a night of drying, the cement block had become quite hard. This filled him with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

Next, Meng Chao began to design and build his new shelter.

He built a sturdy frame using cement blocks, filling and reinforcing it with branches and leaves.

After several days of hard work, a new shelter gradually took shape.

Meng Chao stood in front of the newly built shelter, looking at this little world he had created with his own hands with satisfaction.

This shelter was not only sturdy and durable, but also very comfortable, providing him with important guarantees for survival in the wilderness.

He walked into the shelter, feeling the warm atmosphere inside.

He made the interior of the shelter soft with hay and leaves, which was warm and comfortable. He also piled a lot of dry firewood in the corner in case of emergency.

“What should I do next?” Meng Chao looked at the camera, looking a little confused.

During this period, there has not been a significant decrease in the number of viewers watching live broadcasts.

Seeing Meng Chao using cement to build a house in the wilderness, many people are willing to do it.

Most of them come here to work as cloud supervisors.

Meng Chao looked at the camera, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

He knew that although the newly built shelter provided him with a safe place to stay, his wilderness survival journey was far from over.

He needs to keep exploring to find more resources and ensure his long-term survival.

“I think next I should try to grow some crops and build my own food chain.” Meng Chao said to the camera with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

He knew that relying on wild animals as a food source was not a long-term solution, especially when the seasons changed or the food chain was disturbed, this uncertainty would be more obvious. Therefore, it was particularly important to build up his own food reserves.

Meng Chao immediately started looking for land suitable for growing crops.

After some investigation, he found a small open space with plenty of sunshine and fertile soil, and decided to try to grow some simple vegetables here, such as potatoes, carrots and lettuce.

He used a stone axe and spear to clear the weeds and stones on the ground, and then built a simple fence with branches and leaves to prevent small animals from invading.

Next, Meng Chao began to prepare seeds. He selected some plump and healthy seeds from the wild fruits he had collected before and carefully stored them in a small bag wrapped in leaves.

In order to ensure the germination rate of the seeds, he also collected some humus and mixed it with the soil dug from near the shelter to improve the soil fertility and air permeability.

After the planting work officially started, Meng Chao carefully watered and weeded every day and paid close attention to the growth of the crops.

As time went by, the tiny seeds gradually sprouted and grew tender green leaves. Meng Chao looked at these vibrant seedlings, his heart filled with hope and joy.

At the same time, Meng Chao did not forget to continue exploring the forest.

He used simple traps he made to catch small animals to supplement his food source.

In addition, he also tried to make some simple tools, such as stone knives, stone mills, etc., to improve his life efficiency.

During the exploration, Meng Chao also discovered an unexpected surprise – a wild honey forest.

He approached the hive carefully and successfully collected some honey.

The honey not only provided him with delicious food, but also became a valuable medicine for treating his wounds and diseases.

As time went by, Meng Chao’s wilderness survival skills became more and more proficient. He not only successfully planted the first batch of vegetables, but also made many practical tools and items.

His shelter gradually became more complete and comfortable, and became his little kingdom in the wilderness.

During the live broadcast, the audience witnessed Meng Chao’s initial confusion and struggle, and his current confidence and composure. They left messages to express their support and encouragement, and some even expressed their desire to join Meng Chao’s wilderness survival journey.

Meng Chao felt extremely grateful and honored for the audience’s enthusiasm and support. He knew that it was with the audience’s company and encouragement that he was able to persevere in the wilderness.

“Thank you all for your support and company. Before I knew it, I have been here for three months.” Meng Chao said to the camera, his face filled with confidence and a smile.

He originally said he would only stay for 15 days, but as time passed by, he had no intention of going back at all.

“Time flies so fast. It’s already been three months.”

“I should go back now.”

Thinking of An Yifei, Meng Chao felt that he still needed to go back.

If you don’t go back, we’ll probably break up, right?
Although the other party can see you through the live broadcast, you have no way to communicate with them.

Moreover, their relationship cannot be exposed.

Three months have passed, and I still don’t know how An Yifei and Lee Ji-eun’s albums are selling.

Meng Chao was full of thoughts. He knew that he could not stay immersed in the world of wilderness survival. Although it gave him unprecedented challenges and growth, he was still tied down by the responsibilities and emotions in real life. He decided that it was time to end this wilderness journey and return to the city and to An Yifei.

After making the decision, Meng Chao began to prepare for his return. He first checked his equipment and supplies to ensure that he had enough resources to support his safe return. Then, he spent a few days carefully taking some protective measures for the shelter he built himself to prevent it from being destroyed by wild animals after he left.

Meng Chao also made a simple message board, using branches and leaves to spell out the words “Thank you for this wilderness, I will remember this experience” to express his respect for the land that has given him countless challenges and opportunities.

The night before he left, Meng Chao sat by the campfire and shared his journey with the audience for the last time. “Friends, thank you for your company and support over the past three months. This wilderness survival experience has made me grow a lot and made me cherish every moment of my life. Tomorrow, I will embark on my journey home. I hope I will have the opportunity to share more wonderful stories with you in the future.”

The audience in the live broadcast room left messages one after another, expressing their reluctance to part with Meng Chao and their best wishes. “Meng Chao, you are the best!” “Have a safe journey, and look forward to your return!” “Remember to bring us some wilderness specialties!”

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight penetrated the treetops, Meng Chao put on his backpack and set out on his way home. He followed the same path he had taken, step by step, out of the forest that he had once feared and loved.

After several days of trekking, Meng Chao finally walked out of the forest and returned to human society. He first found an Internet cafe and couldn’t wait to open social media to learn about the latest developments of An Yifei and Li Zhien.

He found that An Yifei and Lee Ji-eun’s albums quickly became popular after their release. Not only did they have considerable sales, they also won recognition from multiple music awards.

Meng Chao felt relieved, because he knew that An Yifei’s hard work and talent had finally been rewarded.
