Since Qin Fei didn't eat anything before going to bed last night, he felt hungry and thirsty when he came together now.

It's so unpleasant to be hungry.

When surviving in extreme cold regions, the amount of food that survivors need on a daily basis is much greater than what they would consume in temperate regions.

The Great Bear region, to which Mystic Lake belongs, is located in the northernmost part of the maple leaf country in North America.

Since it is located within the Arctic Circle, the temperature can reach as low as minus 50 or 60 degrees Celsius in everyday conditions!

In such extremely cold conditions, an adult has to consume about 1,500 kcal of energy a day. Without enough food, it wouldn't be long before Qin Fei would freeze to death.

When he burned snow on the potbelly stove yesterday, he stored a total of about 2 litres of drinking water.

Since there is nothing to eat, then you can only fill it with 'water' first.

Qin Fei took out the cold white from his backpack and drank a few big sips.

Although food is extremely scarce, there is no shortage of water.

The entire Mystic Lake area is covered with snow everywhere on the ground. Therefore, as long as there is enough fuel, it is okay to boil as much boiling water as you want.

It's not yet noon, and it's cold outside. But Qin Fei, who was already hungry, had to go out to find food at this moment.

Based on his experience in the game, there should be some cattails growing on the edge of Mystic Lake.

These cattails are very important survival materials in the game.

The stalks of cattails contain a lot of starch, which can replenish the sugar needed by the human body after eating. The top spike of cattails can be used as a very high-quality ignition for fire.

Qin Fei opened the door of the camp office and walked outside.

A cold wind rushed towards him, and he felt a chill in an instant.

Qin Fei didn't have a hat on his down jacket.

According to the basic survival knowledge he knew, in severe cold regions, almost more than 50% of the body's heat is lost from the head.

Therefore, the warmth effect that a hat can play is particularly important.

Qin Fei had to find a hat as soon as possible.

After leaving the camp office, he came to the surface of Mystic Lake.

There is a thick layer of solid ice on the surface of the lake, which is slippery to step on.

Aside from the occasional crow in the birch grove in the distance, the surroundings were very quiet.

The deer and wolves that appeared very frequently in the game, Qin Fei didn't see any of them.

At the edge of the lake, Qin Fei found some cattails from the ground.

Finally something to eat!

Qin Fei picked these cattails and put them in his backpack.

[Cattail stalks: rough, not very filling, but at least edible! ] 】

【Cattail's spike: Can be used as velvet】

Qin Fei, who had been hungry for a long time, immediately threw a cattail stalk into his mouth.

The stalks of this cattail contain water and taste slightly sweet. It may be the reason why Qin Fei is hungry, he feels that this stalk tastes really delicious....

It was better than some of the delicacies he had ever tasted before.

Against the biting cold wind, Qin Fei collected about twenty cattails one after another. At the same time, he had already walked to the center of the mysterious lake.

"Whew~!"

A dog barked!

Qin Fei was so excited that he trembled all over.

The dog's barking sound is familiar....

Qin Fei, who had played this game for thousands of hours for a long night, reacted within a few seconds.... It's not some dog barking.

This is the polar gray wolf that lives in the snowfields in the northern part of the Maple Leaf Country!

The polar gray wolf is much larger than the average wild wolf.

However, food is scarce in the polar regions, and the number of gray wolves living here is very small. As a result, they tend to act alone.

Under normal circumstances, lone wolves in the wild often take the initiative to avoid them after encountering humans.

Because they have no certainty of winning against humans of their size.

But the gray wolves in the polar regions are different.

They live in the polar regions with a large size, a fierce personality, and a strong desire to attack, and will immediately attack humans when they encounter a person who is much smaller than them.

"Whew!"

The gray wolf howled again.

Qin Fei looked at the source of the sound.

Not far away, you can faintly see that a gray wolf is slowly coming towards Qin Fei's side.

Once this gray wolf pounces on Qin Fei, it will inevitably have a fight.

In Qin Fei's backpack, there was a crowbar found from the camp office.

An adult with a weapon cannot be killed by a lone gray wolf. The winner should be between five and five.

But according to Qin Fei's current situation, whether it is the damage to his clothes caused by the fight with the gray wolf, or the trauma caused by the wolf's bite.

He's basically hard to deal with.

Therefore, even if Qin Fei could beat this gray wolf, there was no need to go up and fight with it.

If you can dodge, you can hide.

Qin Fei glanced around.

Not far behind him, there is a hut for ice fishing.

There is also a door in this room.

This kind of ice fishing hut is often equipped with some floating boards at the bottom.

When the ice melts in the summer, the float board makes the entire ice fishing hut float on the surface of the lake. In winter, the huts freeze over the surface of the lake and are fixed to the lake.

At this time, someone will enter the ice fishing hut and knock open the hole in the floor of the house to carry out winter fishing.

Seeing that the gray wolf in the distance was getting closer and closer, Qin Fei began to slowly retreat behind him.

The first thing you should do when faced with a large carnivore about your size is to calm down.

Don't run away because you're afraid, you won't be able to outrun the beasts.

If you run away, you will be showing weakness to your opponent, and the beast will immediately catch up and pounce on you.

Secondly, don't turn your back to the beast, once you show your back to the beast, then the other party will definitely take this opportunity to pounce.

The correct thing to do is to keep your composure, face the gray wolf, and slowly retreat back little by little.

At the same time as Qin Fei retreated, the wolf was also slowly approaching his position.

Every now and then, there will be two more calls.

Because of Qin Fei's correct way of dealing with it, this gray wolf did not attack immediately, but kept testing Qin Fei.

In the process of retreating and advancing, the distance between the two has also narrowed little by little.

"Wang!"

Finally, the gray wolf couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed towards Qin Fei with a low roar!

Run!

Qin Fei also reacted quickly.

When he stepped back earlier, he had actually narrowed the distance between himself and the hut. So it's not that far from this ice fishing hut.

After Qin Fei turned around, he stepped into the ice fishing hut in two steps.

'Boom! ’

While entering the house, Qin Fei casually closed the door and pulled up the latch on the door, locking the door from the inside.

The gray wolf had already rushed over at this time.

Unable to enter, it could only keep scurrying around the perimeter of the hut, looking very impatient.

After a while, the sound of a gray wolf's front paws opening the door came from the door.

However, Qin Fei was not worried.

This wooden door is extremely thick, as long as it is not chopped with an axe, the claws of this gray wolf alone will definitely not be able to cut open.

The sound of the door continued for a while, and then gradually disappeared.

Looks like the gray wolf should have left.

Qin Fei, who was afraid of death, did not go out directly.

He put his ear to the door and listened carefully for a while.... Outside, some slight footsteps could be heard on the ice.

This gray wolf is still outside the house!

Good guy, it is estimated that it deliberately did not make a sound, wanting to wait for Qin Fei to come out and send him to death.

Seeing this, Qin Fei just stayed in the house silently.

He took some cattail stalks out of his backpack, threw them in his mouth and chewed them, waiting for the gray wolf outside the door to retreat on its own.

After eating four or five cattail stalks, Qin Fei's arm began to shake uncontrollably.... Only then did he realize that he had been frozen.

The warmth in the ice fishing hut is very poor, and people can feel cold when they stay inside.

Qin Fei had to make a fire now.

Otherwise, I will be blocked in the house by this wolf, and I will freeze to death in a short time.

In every ice fishing hut, there is usually a pot-bellied stove with good thermal insulation to keep anglers warm in it.

Qin Fei threw some of the wood he found from the camp office last night into the pot-bellied stove, took out a piece of cattail top hui as a fire starter, and struck a match....

A faint flame rose from the pot-bellied furnace..... It didn't take long for the temperature inside the entire ice fishing hut to start gradually rising.

Qin Fei's trembling body gradually warmed up.

It's finally safe!

Qin Fei breathed a long sigh of relief and sat down in the hut all of a sudden.
