Chapter 1033 - 52: Arseny Delivers Supplies

The next morning.

At the Russian Association.

Seeing that the contestants have survived for almost a week, they are summarizing the participants’ conditions over the past few days.

Without a doubt, the group progressing the fastest is Chen Wen’s.

This group has truly amazed the staff at the association.

They are like a perfectly synchronized survival machine, taking every step in the most correct and prudent path.

To be fair.

No one has any objections to this group’s progress in the Forest Extreme Challenge.

In contrast, the other groups seem to be struggling.

Some groups have had contestants experiencing emotional issues.

The contestants with emotional problems in this group lack a stable shelter and are significantly short of food.

Therefore, faced with the continuous blows from the rainy weather, the contestants in this group began to feel depressed, and even internal bickering began.

Fortunately, the leader of this group is quite decisive.

He managed to suppress the internal conflicts and started taking the team hunting.

But with the continuous rainy weather, this hunt could very well become the spark that ignites their conflicts, or it might be a turning point for their morale.

In any case, the fate of this group remains uncertain.

As for another group, the situation is dire.

Yesterday, because they worked in the rain without timely care, one contestant woke up sneezing repeatedly this morning and has a runny nose.

If they can’t build a shelter that provides warmth and dryness soon, this contestant’s prospects are bleak!

...

At Chen Wen’s place.

Sitting up from the warm shelter, he couldn’t help but yawn.

The first day moving into the shelter can only be described as comfortable!

The shelter perfectly provided them with a wind and rain-proof area, and the burning fireplace kept everyone inside very warm. The wooden door made by Gaston and Adam could block the doorway.

You could say that last night was the most comfortable sleep Chen Wen ever had.

As a result, he was in great spirits after waking up.

During breakfast, Chen Wen was also planning today’s activities.

He said, "Today’s main task is still the shelter. Roland and I will start building the third shelter, Adam, you and Fred will gather materials, and Gaston will do the final touches on the second shelter. Hua Yun, for now, you’ll be handling internal affairs."

Upon hearing this, except for Hua Yun who helplessly scratched his head, the others had no objections.

And now, they didn’t lack food or need to hunt, especially since the nearby forest might have tigers, making it hard for Hua Yun to hunt even if he wanted to.

"By the way."

Before starting work, Chen Wen said to Hua Yun, "If you really want to do something else... remember the trap ropes we brought?"

Hearing this, Hua Yun’s eyes lit up: "Set traps?"

"Yes."

Chen Wen nodded, "Make some snares for birds and small animals. In a few days, either I’ll find time, or let Fred go with you, to set the traps and see if we can catch any prey."

Upon hearing this, Hua Yun stopped scratching her head.

She quickly stood up and said, "Alright, leave it to me! I’m not bad at making traps!"

Chen Wen smiled, "Looking forward to it."

...

With today’s work arranged, Chen Wen also headed to his post.

Still digging foundations, building the shelter.

Chen Wen carried out his work step by step.

A day passed.

The outline of the third shelter was taking shape.

However, the Chen Wen team now faced a new problem—almost running out of materials.

The two shelters successfully consumed most of the trees they chopped, stones they found, and clay they collected.

Currently, the remaining materials are barely enough to finish the roof.

In the evening, Chen Wen talked about the material issue.

Fred also reminded Chen Wen that their appointed time with Hunter Arseni and Boris was the day after tomorrow.

They also need to prepare to receive supplies.

Chen Wen asked Fred again about the tiger, but Fred shook his head; there was still no news from the association.

"Your efficiency over there..."

Chen Wen was somewhat helpless.

It’s been days, and still no news?

He sighed and said, "We definitely need to continue gathering materials, but the outside situation is unclear, and I can’t guarantee it’s safe outside, so if we go out to find materials, I suggest we bring the animals."

Upon hearing this, no one objected.

With the animals Chen Wen trained to assist in reconnaissance, safety is definitely not an issue!

After dinner, Chen Wen found the animals and informed them of this task.

The Golden Eagle and the Eagle took on the duties of reconnaissance and protection.

The next day.

They accompanied the two teams to search for stones and haul clay.

No unexpected incidents happened that day, and the tiger also didn’t seem to reappear.

Chen Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

By evening, they had gathered enough materials, at least enough to build the third shelter, and there were also foundation materials for a fourth shelter.

...

Today, although the weather was still overcast, it wasn’t raining.

After getting up from the shelter, Chen Wen didn’t rush to work.

Today is the day of their agreed supply exchange with Hunter Arseni.

Chen Wen brought out the animal pelts hunted by the animals over the past few days, mostly rabbit skins, along with the boar hide, which was quite a lot.

How much supplies can these exchange?

Chen Wen looked at the pile of pelts on the shelter floor, anticipating today’s trade.

Last time’s trade only exchanged for a few meals’ worth of staple food.

Not a complete trade.

This time is the formal trade between the two parties.

How much supplies they can exchange depends on whether Chen Wen’s judgment is accurate,

If Arseni is truly as Chen Wen judged, a very loyal and straightforward character, their haul will certainly be substantial!

But in the camp, only Chen Wen and Fred thought this way.

The others were a bit skeptical.

In today’s society, there aren’t many straightforward people.

After breakfast, Fred and Gaston started building the foundation for the third shelter.

Chen Wen and the others tidied up the camp, making it look cleaner.

After all, they were about to welcome guests.

At around nine, approaching ten o’clock in the morning.

The cry of the Eagle resounded in the sky above the camp.

Chen Wen perked up and reminded everyone, "Get ready, they should be here."

Upon hearing this, everyone who had been dawdling all morning perked up.

They looked in the direction Chen Wen was watching, their hearts filled with anticipation.

Even if Hunter Arseni doesn’t bring more supplies, the staple food he brings is worth looking forward to.

As everyone awaited with eager anticipation.

A group of figures emerged faintly from the forest.

Leading the group was a person with a glaring bald head, and Chen Wen immediately recognized it as Arseni.

Behind Arseni, there were about seven or eight people.

But what surprised Chen Wen the most was that each of the seven or eight people carried an extremely large package on their backs.

Chen Wen couldn’t help but hiss.

His reaction caught the attention of others, and they all looked over. As the group walked out of the forest, others also gasped.

So much?

All supplies?

My goodness!
