Arctic survival, starting in hell at minus fifty degrees Celsius

Icy water is even colder to the feet than ice and snow; soaking your feet in it for a whole day is unbearable for anyone.

After drying their shoes and socks, they ate a little something and set off again.

Sun Chengwu held the rope and let Da Bai and Er Bai smell the ground.

But the two wolves clearly didn't understand Sun Chengwu's meaning, thinking he was going to take them back to the mountains.

Big White was a little excited, while Little White was a little melancholy.

Sun Chengwu discovered that wolves also have personalities. Da Bai has the kind of wild and untamed personality that loves freedom and the mountains. However, this personality is not a bad thing. If trained, its hunting ability and aggression will be stronger.

Xiao Bai has the feel of a domesticated dog, used to being fed by the government and no longer wanting to go out and work hard on its own.

It turned into a dog that only knows how to eat and is hungry.

This kind of personality makes it more suitable to have someone by your side.

The group walked along the ridge for nearly twenty kilometers before finally reaching the end of the ridge, where a vast grassland lay before them.

After the ice and snow melt, flowers, grasses, and mosses eagerly emerge from the soft soil, spreading their seeds and continuing the next generation in this hard-won season of rising temperatures.

In the past, temperatures would rise in July, but this year the weather was too cold, and the ground was still frozen in July. Temperatures finally rose in August.

The meadow is not only home to plants and moss, but also to animals.

Many people believe that there are no squirrels, mice, rabbits, grouse, foxes, etc. in the Arctic...

However, these animals are common outside the Arctic Circle.

They can tolerate the cold and survive even in environments with temperatures as low as minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius.

It is a major component of the ecosystem.

The Arctic Circle is a no-go zone for humans, but life still exists there.

Life is not measured by the minimum standards of human survival. Every living thing has its own way of surviving, and even in the frigid Arctic, life can flourish.

The big white dog caught the scent of prey in the air, its wild instincts were aroused, it raised its head and roared, and ran forward.

But the rope was too short, and it caught on his neck, causing Da Bai to somersault and turn to look at Sun Chengwu.

Is it to release?

Or should we continue raising them in captivity?

Sun Chengwu untied the ropes around Da Bai and Xiao Bai's necks.

If they lose their wildness, what's the difference between them and dogs?

Ran?

Then they ran away.

As soon as the rope was untied, Big White ran out happily and disappeared into the bushes.

He quickly spotted a rabbit grazing and pounced on it.

The rabbit reacted quickly, fleeing swiftly and constantly changing direction.

Big White had little hunting experience, so he missed his target and fell over, rolling twice.

Undeterred, Big White got up, shook its head, and then sharpened its gaze, searching for traces of prey in the grass.

Its nose twitched, and it locked onto a rabbit a kilometer away once again.

Wolves have a very keen sense of smell. Animals follow fixed routes when foraging each day, leaving behind their droppings, fur, and scents.

Wolves can use these scents to determine how long their prey has been passing through.

It crawled forward little by little, following the scent, searching patiently.

Soon, Da Bai disappeared from Sun Chengwu's sight.

Xiao Bai remained squatting in the same spot.

It looked at Sun Chengwu pitifully, thinking that Sun Chengwu was going to abandon it.

Sun Chengwu squatted down, patted Xiaobai's head and said, "Go and give it a try. The prey you bring back will be your treat tonight."

Xiaobai doesn't understand.

Sun Chengwu gave it a push and pointed in the direction of Big White, saying, "Go."

Xiaobai still didn't want to go.

Sun Chengwu was somewhat helpless.

Just then, a grouse flew out of the woods in the distance and flew over the heads of the group.

Big Black was quick-witted and agile; he drew his bow and arrow to its full extent and shot an arrow.

The grouse flapped its wings and fell from the sky.

The target was moving, and it was more than 30 meters away, so this shot had a bit of luck involved.

Upon seeing this, Sun Chengwu couldn't help but exclaim, "Awesome, Big Black!"

Big Black scratched his head and chuckled, "Brother Wu, luck."

At this moment, Little White, who hadn't moved all along, suddenly rushed towards where the grouse had fallen.

After a while, it came running back with the grouse in its beak.

Upon seeing this, Sun Chengwu seemed to be deep in thought.

Big White is good for hunting, while Little White is good for tracking.

Little White put the grouse down and wagged its tail.

It's more like a dog than a wolf.

Sun Chengwu picked up the grouse, placed it in front of it, and then pointed into the distance, "Go find it."

Xiaobai didn't quite understand.

Sun Chengwu felt somewhat helpless.

He's not very good at training dogs.

He could only throw the grouse away, point at it, and say, "Go away."

Xiao Bai didn't quite understand Sun Chengwu's behavior, but still brought the grouse back.

After several attempts, Xiaobai seemed to understand Sun Chengwu's intention. This time, Sun Chengwu did not throw the grouse, but pointed to the woods in the distance.

Little White wagged its tail, sniffed the air, and walked towards the woods.

Sun Chengwu's eyes lit up. "Follow me."

The group followed Xiaobai into the woods. As soon as they entered, they heard a grouse flapping its wings and flying away in the distance.

Little White ran forward, letting out a howl.

When Sun Chengwu arrived, he saw a chicken coop the size of a washbasin in a space under several trees, with two green eggs lying inside.

Grouse eggs are much smaller than those laid by domestic chickens.

Sun Chengwu touched it; it was still warm. It seemed that the grouse had been incubating its eggs.

Sun Chengwu picked it up and put it away, then laughed and said, "I never thought I'd be able to eat eggs in the Arctic."

Sun Chengwu patted Xiaobai's head, handed him a small piece of meat, and praised, "Xiaobai, well done, keep looking."

Little White wagged its tail and ran back into the woods.

However, their luck ran out. They didn't see any prey, as if the wolf's howl had scared away all the animals around them.

Moreover, Sun Chengwu also found a large pile of bear feces in the forest.

This is not good news.

Just as they were studying the feces, a large white dog let out a howl from further away.

Sun Chengwu and the others couldn't tell the difference in the wolf howls, but Xiaobai could.

It heard the fear in the big white wolf's howl.

Little White immediately ran towards Big White.

Sun Chengwu was taken aback, then realized something and urged everyone, "Quick, keep up!"

The group followed Xiaobai out of the woods and onto the grassland.

From afar, you can see Big White running towards you, followed by a thin brown bear.

The brown bear was so thin that its skin drooped, its fur was tattered, and its exposed body had many scabbed scars.

What's most striking is its eye; one eye is blind.

The moment Sun Chengwu saw the brown bear, an inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up within him. He was certain that this was the same brown bear that had escaped earlier.

It attacked a pack of wolves for food, and surprisingly it's still alive!
