Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 470: Chapter 19: Mosquitoes and Insects

The pure meat ham sausages were airlifted over.

The yellow-throated marten immediately became excited.

It gobbled down the ham sausages and even generously shared half with the short-tailed cat.

The short-tailed cat accepted gladly.

After dinner, the short-tailed cat even gave the yellow-throated marten a name, Huang Feng.

The general idea was that its attack was as swift as the wind, and its fur was very yellow, like a gust of yellow wind.

Chen Wen sat beside them, unable to help thinking: Might as well call it Huang Feng Da Sheng.

Speaking of which, Huang Feng Da Sheng’s original form seemed to be a yellow weasel; could it be the yellow-throated marten?

This guy also has a coat of yellow fur.

Feeling Chen Wen’s gaze, the yellow-throated marten turned to glance at Chen Wen: ”Is there something?”

”Nothing, well, there is a little something.”

Chen Wen stopped his wild thoughts and took out the markers left by Yan Bian’s group that he had collected.

He had the yellow-throated marten take a good look at the markers and taught it how to recognize them.

The yellow-throated marten was very smart; it quickly understood the features of the markers.

”In simple terms, it’s very flat, like it’s been gnawed by my teeth, and it has very distinct tips.”

The yellow-throated marten excitedly said, ”I get it, but the path I’m taking you on doesn’t have these tips.”

Chen Wen was unconcerned upon hearing this.

After all, when he proposed having the yellow-throated marten lead the way, it was partly to avoid it fighting with the short-tailed cat and also to find a topic to tame the yellow-throated marten.

Seeking Yan Bian and his group was more reliably done through footprints and markers.

Sitting around the warm small stove, Chen Wen chatted with the three animals, creating quite a harmonious atmosphere.

The relationship among the three animals, and between them and Chen Wen, was also growing closer unconsciously.

...

The next morning.

It started raining again.

Even though he was accustomed to the rain, when the raindrops fell on the surrounding leaves, making crackling sounds,

Chen Wen still felt a bit irritable.

He turned off the hearing enhancement trait.

This noise was really too loud.

Moreover, the continuous rain and overcast weather also made Chen Wen feel a bit down.

Fortunately, there were quite a few animal friends to help Chen Wen soothe his mood.

The short-tailed cat and the yellow-throated marten were scouting the path ahead.

The cooperation between them in finding markers was more than just doubling the efficiency.

The crested goshawk perched on Chen Wen’s shoulder, vigilant of the surroundings, occasionally sharing its past life experiences with Chen Wen.

Not too boring.

But the team following Chen Wen was not in good shape.

The continuous muddy marches, even for those with wills of steel, became somewhat unbearable.

Someone was already showing signs of emotional downturn.

and 08 noticed this and talked about military life to ease the atmosphere.

But the main camp was starting to worry.

The negative effect of persistent rain was starting to show its power.

Under the heavy rain, apart from affecting the body, it also had a significant psychological impact.

Rainy and overcast weather could cause hormonal issues, leading to poor moods.

Moreover, the heavy rain could subtly affect people’s moods, continually generating negative emotions.

This was something everyone had anticipated at the start.

But no one expected it to come so soon.

It appeared just on the third day of the search and rescue.

”Team one, are you alright?”

Xu Yong expressed concern.

sighed and said, ”We’re fine, we can manage, but I wonder how team two is doing.”

Team two!

This was what worried Xu Yong the most.

Not only had Chen Wen not undergone such training, but he was also desperately trying to rescue Yan Bian.

Under such tremendous psychological pressure, his condition might be much worse than team one!

Xu Yong hesitated for a moment and asked, ”Team two, team two, can you hear me? How is your situation?”

There was no response.

Xu Yong’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that the psychological pressure was too great on Chen Wen, causing him to turn off the radio equipment?

Just as Xu Yong was getting anxious,

Chen Wen opened the communication device and said, ”Hello, anyone there?”

”Yes, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”

Xu Yong asked anxiously.

”Oh, it’s like this, just wanted to let you know I made another discovery.”

While disdainfully scrubbing the yellow-throated marten into a puddle, Chen Wen said, ”I’ve just tamed the yellow-throated marten, haven’t I? It just found human feces that seemed to be from about three days ago, so I thought I’d let you know we’ve caught up by two days.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yong breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the mood wasn’t low.

”Additionally, have you prepared insect repellent or mosquito nets? I feel the mosquitoes ahead are increasing, and there seems to be a large swamp and water area further on.”

Chen Wen said, looking with some concern at the mosquitoes flying around.

He and the animals naturally didn’t worry about the mosquitoes.

But the team behind wouldn’t be able to handle it.

asked, ”How many mosquitoes are there?”

”They are everywhere; as soon as you pass a bush, a large swarm will fly up.”

Just hearing Chen Wen’s description made the staff at the main camp feel a bit of a chill.

”You have insect repellent gear in your supplies, but not enough for each of you. Do you need more sent over?”

Xu Yong asked.

replied, ”No need, we can cover ourselves with mud, and what we have can be given to Chen Wen.”

But Chen Wen refused, ”I don’t need it, and you all better have one each. In this weather, using mud isn’t a great idea.”

”I’ll wait here for you; come quickly, I’m hanging up now.”

As he spoke, the yellow-throated marten in his hand struggled violently.

Chen Wen hurriedly held it down, scolding, ”Don’t move! You just stepped in feces, understand? It’s dirty!”

The yellow-throated marten struggled, ”No!”

Listening to Chen Wen’s voice, Xu Yong realized he worried for nothing.

Someone under significant psychological pressure wouldn’t be cleaning animal’s feces at this moment.

Alright, as long as everything’s okay.

As for the mosquitoes, Xu Yong planned to consult the locals to see how they dealt with it.

...

While Xu Yong was consulting the locals,

Lv Guocheng’s earlier actions began taking effect.

Online, the families of the eight victims jointly released a video expressing gratitude to Chen Wen.

And the feisty wife of Zhou Zhijian also scolded those slandering Chen Wen with her hands on her hips.

After Zhou Zhijian was rescued by Chen Wen, Team Three took over.

He was being escorted out of the restricted area by Team Three.

The straightforward rural woman had long seen Chen Wen as her savior, and she wouldn’t let those slander her benefactor.

After the video was released, the netizens following the Ailao Mountain incident were shocked.

Not only did the rescue achieve progress after such a long time, but it was also effective progress.

Moreover, the person driving the rescue progress was unexpectedly Chen Wen, who not many had faith in.

Besides the family’s video, official accounts also confirmed Chen Wen’s contributions.

Under the Ailao Mountain missing persons incident’s timeline, a long-unupdated timestamp changed.

[Civil Rescuer Chen Wen Achieves Major Progress, Rescues a Trapped Individual!]

The online perception of Chen Wen was quietly changing.

...

But Chen Wen in Ailao Mountain didn’t know about these things.

Even if he did, he wouldn’t care.

After Team One arrived, Chen Wen’s yellow-throated marten became the focal point of the team.

Especially military dog handler 09, who was very curious about the yellow-throated marten.

He used his camera to take a photo of the yellow-throated marten, ”This is the first time I’ve met someone who can tame a live mustelid, must snap a photo!”

The yellow-throated marten sensed the camera’s presence and immediately arched its back towards it, letting out a series of intimidating calls.

”Is this thing really that fierce?”

wasn’t afraid, but was even more excited.

Chen Wen nodded, ”It dared to take action directly against the short-tailed cat, what do you think?”

”Then it is indeed fierce, Black Tiger at first didn’t want to approach the short-tailed cat, even though it wasn’t afraid.”

said sighingly.

Just as he was about to ask Chen Wen how he tamed this ferocious small beast, 01 gathered people to discuss the next course of action.

Seeing Chen Wen go over quickly, 09 had to give up.

But in his heart, he wanted to exchange experiences with Chen Wen.

In animal training, Chen Wen was far superior to him.
