nThe misunderstanding was cleared, and Scarlett Johansson handed the two maggots to Bell.

nSeeing this, Bell asked curiously, “Aren’t you eating?”

nScarlett almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

nIf it were an adult asking such a question, she would definitely bite him to death.

nBut seeing Bell’s innocent and cute appearance, Scarlett could only admit defeat.

n“No, you can use them to fish.”

nBell stopped teasing her.

n“Alright, endure for a while more. We will have food soon.”

nHearing Bell’s relaxed tone, Scarlett realized that Bell had been teasing her.

n“This guy…”

nScarlett pointed at Bell for a long time but could not find a suitable word to say.

nIn the end, she could only give up helplessly.

nBell found a wooden stick. Although the two of them had moved to a lower altitude, they still could not stay on the spot for too long. They had to dig another snow cave. Only then could they fish quietly.

nSeeing that Bell was busy again, Scarlett did not stay idle. She imitated Bell and found a wooden stick to dig the snow cave with him.

nBecause they had experience from earlier, they were much more proficient with it this time.

nOf course, it was mainly because Scarlett had become more efficient.

nSeeing the girl’s serious expression, Bell nodded and handed the task of digging the snow cave to her.

nBell began to prepare the food.

nHe took out his parachute and removed the parachute’s cord.

n“Our conditions are simple now, but we can use this as a fishing line.”

nBell explained to the audience.

nEveryone was also very curious. They looked at Bell on the screen, wanting to see how he would obtain food in this harsh environment.

nBell then used a small piece of iron wire on the parachute to bend it into an iron hook and pierced the maggot as bait.

nBell looked around.

n“We need a stone to increase the weight of the bait.”

nBell chose a suitable stone and tied it to the end of the rope.

nThen, he repeated his previous actions.

nHe removed a few pieces of iron wire and hung the maggots on the hooks.

nA few more iron hooks were tied to different parts of the cord.

nAfter doing all this, Bell heaved a sigh of relief.

n“We’ve completed most of the work. Now, we have to wait for the fish to take the bait.”

nScarlett had finished digging the snow cave.

nBell noticed that Scarlett’s hands were red from the cold. Clearly, she had used her hands to strengthen the roof of the snow cave.

nHowever, as if she had overdone it, her hands were already a little stiff.

nScarlett stuffed her hand into her sleeves, not wanting Bell to see it.

nAfter this period of time, she realized that she did not seem to be of any use to Bell at all. Instead, she was giving Bell trouble everywhere.

nShe had read some knowledge about wilderness survival before participating in the program, and she had been confident that she could do well.

nNow, it seemed like she had been too naive.

nShe wanted to do whatever she could for Bell.

nBell did not expose Scarlett’s embarrassment.

nHe smiled and said, “I’m a little cold too. Let’s start a fire. Help me take a look at this bait. If a fish takes the bait, fish it up.”

nWith that, Bell got up and walked towards the forest to search for dead branches.

nScarlett Johansson sat in front of the snow cave and watched Bell walk away. A smile gradually formed on her face.

n“Although he’s not old, he’s quite thoughtful.”

nShe realized that Bell had seen her embarrassment, but he did not make things difficult for her. This made her have a better impression of him.

nThe comments were also constantly sending messages, saying strange things like “couple confirmed”.

n“Hey, this guy is only eight. Your thoughts are dangerous.”

nScarlett also joked with the audience.

nAfter experiencing the dangers of life and death along with hunger, her mentality had also changed.

nMost importantly, she no longer treated Bell as an eight-year-old child.

nWhether it was his temperament, survival experience, or intelligence, they were definitely not something ordinary eight-year-old children could possess.

nScarlett even wondered if there was an adult soul in this child’s body.

nShe had not told Bell this. If she told Bell, she would definitely scare him.

nBecause she had guessed the correct answer.

nThe wait seemed to be especially long.

nScarlett was worried that Bell would not return.

nFrom time to time, she would look in the direction Bell had left.

nIn fact, Bell had not left for long.

nAfter a seemingly endless wait, Scarlett saw Bell again.

nHe was carrying a pile of dry wood and a few tree branches.

nThe small figure seemed to have difficulty moving in the snow.

nHowever, there was a trace of determination on Bell’s face.

nIt seemed like no difficulty could defeat him.

nScarlett was stunned.

nAt the same time, Bell walked to her.

nHe asked curiously.

n“What are you looking at? Didn’t I tell you to watch the bait? This will decide if we will starve tonight.”

nHearing Bell’s voice, Scarlet Johnson came to her senses.

n“Oh, I’m looking, I’m looking. They haven’t taken the bait yet, right?”

nScarlett looked slightly flustered.

nBell ignored the other party’s expression. He walked to the hole and checked the bait. Then, he placed the fir tree branch that he had brought at the hole.

n“When choosing to fish in the ice, we have to have a support, because this way, we can avoid the hole from freezing again.”

nBell explained to the audience.

nHowever, the comments were a little strange. Their focus did not seem to be on survival.

nBell ignored it and the mood of the girl beside him, and continued to focus on his actions.

nThis was Wilderness Survival, not a romance show.
