Chapter 3 Ice Fishing Hut
Looking at the flames in the pot-bellied furnace, Qin Fei took out an iron can containing snow from his backpack and put it on the stove to heat it up.
Fuel is relatively precious in the polar environment.
As long as there is a fire, it is better to burn something, and it is not wasted.
Maintaining this habit allows survivors to survive in extreme circumstances.
In the wooden cabinet of the ice fishing hut, Qin Fei found another pack of matches.
At the top of the cabinet, he also found a bag of bait for fishing. and a fishing line and a hook.
Since the gray wolf outside is still lingering outside the ice fishing hut, he is reluctant to go away. Then Qin Fei might as well use this time to try fishing.
It's best to catch a fish.
Even if there is no catch, it is better than doing nothing in the ice fishing hut.
It's a bit dark inside the house.
With the faint glow of the fire emanating from the pot-bellied furnace, Qin Fei threaded the fishing line into the hook.
[Fishing equipment: hooks and lines used for fishing; Durability: 100%】
Qin Fei glanced at the fishing gear, then took out a small piece of cattail top from his backpack and tied it to the fishing line to use it as a float for fishing.
The temperature in the ice fishing hut is also below freezing.
Therefore, if Qin Fei wants to fish, he must first dig out the pit used for fishing in the ice fishing hut.
Qin Fei had a crowbar found from the camp office in his backpack, which was just enough to be used as a tool to break through the ice.
After Qin Fei had been chiseling for about ten minutes, the ice was finally chiseled through by him, revealing the surface of the water hidden under the ice.
Qin Fei grabbed the fishing gear in his hand, threaded the bait on the hook, and threw it into the ice cave that had just been chiseled.
Fishing in winter, especially on such frozen lakes, has a high success rate.
Of course, the materials required for fishing are also not small.
Fishing requires bait, and unless Qin Fei can find enough bait, once these baits are exhausted, he will not be able to continue fishing.
And the rate of loss of the hook is very fast.
As the temperature drops, so does the toughness of the object.
In these temperatures, the line and hook can become very breakable, and once you fall under the ice, you don't even think you can pick it up.
Iron hooks are much harder to get than raw meat.
The most important point.... In order to maintain his body temperature while fishing, Qin Fei had to collect enough fuel before each fishing.
But you must know that the birch trees around Mystic Lake are very tall and stout.
Without tools such as axes and saws, it is not easy to get wood from trees.
In this environment, it is basically impossible to survive two hundred days by fishing....
Half an hour later, the cattail top on the water surface of the ice cave finally had a slight movement.
Qin Fei immediately pulled the fishing line and slowly retracted the hook.
I actually caught a fish....
On the hook, there is a small white lake fish.
[Fresh lake whitefish (raw): a common freshwater fish that is small in size, but superior in quantity]
After catching this fish, Qin Fei's morale was high.
When he had re-hung the bait, he threw the hook into the water again.
Until the flame in the furnace gradually became smaller and the fuel was about to run out, Qin Fei caught another lake whitefish, which was also very small.
But it's normal not to catch big fish.
After all, it's just a small lake, and it's nice to have fish.
By this time, the wood in the stove had also been burned, and the temperature in the ice fishing hut began to drop.
Qin Fei put the boiled pot of drinking water on the potbelly stove into his backpack.
He gently pushed the door open and glanced out.
Perhaps because he couldn't stand the cold wind howling on the lake, the gray wolf had already left at this time. The empty lake is quiet.
After Qin Fei was repeatedly sure that the gray wolf had really left, he walked out of the ice fishing hut.
There's nothing wrong with being cautious.
After all, it's not in the game, it's the most important thing to save your dog's life.
Around the mysterious lake, there are also a few small cabins scattered around. This is used for the fishermen who used to live here.
Qin Fei walked into those cabins, and he began to scavenge the resources in these houses one by one.
Qin Fei now needs to collect all kinds of necessary survival tools.
His mission is to survive in this world for 200 days, in addition to his daily food, water, and fuel.
Tools are indispensable.
After all, if you want to get food, you have to make bows and arrows, traps to hunt, or hooks and lines to fish.
When boiling snow water and using fuel for heating, you need to use tools such as saws or axes to go outside and cut some wood.
Therefore, when Qin Fei searched these wooden houses, he looked very carefully.
Under the bed, in the cabinet, in the corner of the wall, Qin Fei would search every corner as much as possible.
By the time we had searched the last room, it was getting dark.
This room was relatively warm, and Qin Fei planned to spend the night in this room.
It's certainly not a good idea to go out after dark.
Not to mention the possibility of encountering the gray wolf encountered during the day again.
In the dark environment of the night, Qin Fei is very likely to get lost in the wild, and then freeze to death in the dark because he can't find shelter.
Qin Fei opened the system's space backpack and began to count some of the materials he had looted today.
[Whetstone: A whetstone used to sharpen the blade]
[Flower tea: A bag of tea leaves, exuding fragrance, the label boasts of the nourishing effect and sleeping effect]
【New wool socks: Wool socks, tough and warm】
He put the woolen socks on the outside of the original sports socks.
In such a cold weather, Qin Fei would not be disgusted with the socks on his feet wearing too much.
With these two pairs of socks, plus a pair of rubber boots on his feet, when Qin Fei walked in the snow, his feet were no longer as cold and painful as they were when he first came to this world.
In addition, Qin Fei also found a box of salty biscuits and a piece of chocolate oat candy in these wooden houses.
If you add the seventeen cattail stalks collected on Mystic Lake during the day, and the two lake whitefish caught. Qin Fei's existing food, adding a piece of food should provide about 3,000 calories.
An adult needs about 1,500 calories a day.
It is not a problem for Qin Fei to eat these foods for two days.
In addition, when he was searching for supplies, he also tore off the fabric in several rooms and sewed a simple headscarf with needlework and thread, which was wrapped around his head.
[Simple bandana: almost equivalent to a hat, made of scraps of fabric, with a felt temperature of +1°C]
This thing is definitely not as warm as a hat, and it can be easily damaged.
However, after wearing this simple bandana, it is at least much stronger than Qin Fei not wearing any hat.
Before going to bed, Qin Fei drank some water and ate another piece of chocolate oat candy, plus five cattail stalks. Only then did I feel that my stomach was less hungry.
He lay down on his bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
When Qin Fei woke up again, the sky was already slightly bright.
The system's tooltip appeared in front of him.
[You are alive: 2 days, 2 hours, 5 minutes]
Today, Qin Fei planned to go to the Hunter's Hut in the southwest of Mystic Lake.
In the game, there is a high probability that guns can be found in the hunter's hut.
It's the old-fashioned long-barreled single-shot shotgun.
This old-fashioned gun may not be able to knock down a bear with a single shot, but if it hits a wolf or a deer in the head, there is a high chance that it will kill them with a single shot.
The food provided by a wolf or deer could be enough for Qin Fei to eat for a long time.
Not only that, but the animal's blood can also replenish his salt, and its fur, internal organs, and bones can come in handy as long as they are used properly.
Therefore, once Qin Fei has a gun, it is equivalent to having a large amount of food reserves.
Moreover, Qin Fei's own safety has also been guaranteed, at least the gray wolf will not be as big a threat to him as before.
After eating a little to replenish his energy, Qin Fei pushed open the door of the house and walked outside.
As a veteran player of long nights, he remembers the map around Mystic Lake very well.
The location of the hunter's hut, Qin Fei would never go wrong.
But in a moment, he retreated from the house.
Because there's a blizzard blowing outside.
This blizzard not only made it difficult for Qin Fei to walk, but also made the temperature outside extremely low, and the blizzard also made the visibility of the outside world very poor, and he could only see a section of the road in front of him outside.
In desperation, Qin Fei could only stay in the house, slowly waiting for the bad weather to recede.
