Everyone Survives In The Fog

But after what happened in the next few days, Qi Yuan realized that he had been worrying too much.

I thought that such a severe cold wave would seriously affect the natural environment, and a super flood would definitely be inevitable.

But in fact, the natural ecology of the mist world easily withstood this disaster, and even a major flood did not occur.

First of all, although the weather is cold, the snow is melting faster than expected.

Except for a few severely cold areas, the ice and snow have begun to melt in most places.

Secondly, a large amount of snow water melted and flowed, and it was actually absorbed by the forest and became nutrients for the recovery of animals and plants in the forest, without forming a flood at all.

In just three days, most of the ice and snow melted, leaving only a 30 cm high layer of snow.

Perhaps because the land absorbed too much snow water, a permafrost layer was formed, and the final snow melted more slowly.

Qi Yuan couldn't understand why the ice and snow could melt so quickly even though the temperature was still more than ten degrees below zero.

Perhaps, the natural rules of the mist world are still very different from those on earth.

Qi Yuan is not an expert in natural science, so he will naturally not explore these issues.

He only knew that with the current situation, survivors could already go out and look for food in the wild.

Many survivors have already begun trying to leave the shelter and look for food in nearby areas.

But the result was very bad. We had just experienced a cold wave and there was no food at all.

You might even encounter a hungry large wild animal and accidentally become someone else's food.

Recently, there was a very popular post in the forum called "Eighteen Questions about Finding Food in the Snow."

What I write about is how to find edible food in this environment while protecting your own safety.

Qi Yuan also read it carefully and found that most of the content was about how to turn bark, roots and weeds into edible food.

Hundreds of thousands of people liked it!

I can't complain, it's really pitiful...

However, Qi Yuan also realized that under the current situation, it was indeed difficult to find food, and it was also difficult to explore in the wild.

But at this moment, Qi Yuan turned to a post, "What can we do when the cold wave ends?" 》

The title is mediocre and will not be popular at first glance.

However, after reading the content, it inspired Qi Yuan a lot.

There are many good methods mentioned in the post, one of which is very suitable for Qi Yuan.

That's fishing.

Qi Yuan remembered that he had taken out a fishing rod before, but had never used it.

Later, I obtained excellent bait and feed from Lu Zhipeng's inventory, which was indeed very suitable for fishing.

So, Qi Yuan started to make preparations.

Find that fishing rod that has been gathering dust for a long time and start crafting bait.

The bait is excellent grade, so the materials required are also expensive. It requires the internal organs of an excellent grade beast, which Qi Yuan simply cannot get together.

So I had no choice but to make it with good-grade food. In the end, it was successfully made and the quality was good-grade.

This is also thanks to the system update!

Because it is made by hand, the production process can be more flexible.

If it were before, it would not be possible to make it successfully.

Qi Yuan put on snow boots, a large cotton-padded jacket, cotton-padded clothes, cotton trousers, sweater, and scarf, wrapping himself tightly.

Then take fishing rods, fishing nets, bait, and wooden barrels, and leave the shelter to the creek. .

Leaving with him were a swarm of 500 bees led by the Iron-backed Black Tiger Bee Queen.

There is a serious shortage of food in the hive, and they also need to go out to find food.

I just happened to go out with Qi Yuan today. While keeping him safe, I was also able to look for food further afield.

Qi Yuan came to the creek next to the shelter. The river here was too small, so fishing was definitely not possible.

However, as the creek goes upstream, the water potential is obviously expanding, and there is likely to be a larger flow of water upstream.

Qi Yuan followed the stream and walked deep into the forest.

After walking for one kilometer, I found that the creek had indeed become much larger and could already be called a small river.

As we continue walking forward, the river becomes wider, the surrounding terrain becomes flatter, and the view gradually broadens.

"This is... a plain? Are you going to leave the forest?"

Qi Yuan was a little confused, because the environment here looked less and less like a forest.

But thinking back carefully, when I used the "Beast Search Scroll" before, it showed the terrain here, as if it was still surrounded by forests.

Looking at the forest on both sides of the river, I found that the forest was still very dense, with more trees in it.

It was obvious that this was still part of the forest, which was indeed larger than imagined.

So why are rivers flat and wide?

There is only one reason. There used to be a big river here, at least much bigger than the current river.

Today, the frozen river is only 2 meters wide, while the dry, flat river is at least 10 meters wide.

Qi Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that the idea is correct, there should be a larger river at the source.

Continuing to walk forward, after walking for almost 5 kilometers, a river finally came to an end.

Connected to another larger river.

Obviously, the small river next to Qiyuan Shelter is a tributary of another large river.

This big river flows from deeper in the forest. Now the river is 10 meters wide and the water depth is much deeper than the tributaries.

Even if the lake is frozen, you can still see the deep river water under the ice.

"Crash!"

Qi Yuan leaned over the ice to confirm again, and vaguely heard the sound of the river flowing under the ice.

"This is it!"

Qi Yuan made a decision and chose to fish here.

Near the middle of the river, I tried to break the ice with an iron axe, and found that the ice was very thick, at least 50 centimeters thick.

Qi Yuan banged the ax with bang bang bang for more than half an hour, breaking the blade of the iron ax, and finally managed to open a hole as thick as an arm.

"call!"

Qi Yuan struggled to get up from the ice, stretched, and stretched his muscles.

If he hadn't been physically strong, it would have been impossible to break open such a thick ice surface.

An ordinary person would have died of exhaustion on the ice.

Take out the fishing rod, hang the fishy-smelling bait on the hook, and lower it along the hole in the ice.

Generally speaking, if you use good-grade bait, you have a higher probability of attracting good-grade fish.

However, this also depends on the specific river conditions.

If the river is too small and all the fish living there are ordinary-level fish, then it is naturally impossible for good-level fish to appear.

If it is a large lake, especially a good-level lake, the probability of high-quality fish appearing is very high.

However, if you want to catch good-grade fish, you also need to bear the corresponding risks.

Wild aquatic animals, like wild beasts in the forest, are powerfully aggressive.

If it is an ordinary person, it may not be as strong as a good-grade fish, and it may be dragged into the water.

Getting ready, Qi Yuan started fishing.

But I didn’t bring a chair, so it wasn’t easy to sit directly on the ice.

So Qi Yuan thought for a long time and put the black tiger bee queen under his buttocks, which could be used as a bench without freezing his buttocks.

Of course, he couldn't just wait for the fish here, it would be a waste of time.

Qi Yuan brought the "Mist Survival Manual" over and while waiting for the fish to take the bait, he browsed the forum.

"On the difference between trading markets and public stores!" 》

"Real-time Price Comparison in the Fog World"

"The Encyclopedia of Beasts in the Mist World - Powerful beasts that are different from the animals on earth!" 》

"Good grade food!" What's the difference? 》

"I don't understand Reiki!" How to understand the foggy world? ! 》

"..."

Various posts were about the experiences of other survivors, and Qi Yuan also tried to understand them.

I also absorbed a lot of new knowledge.

For example, special plants in other places, or other survivors encountering powerful beasts.
