[Comprehensive British and American] Wilderness Survival Journey

Noah sat on the dilapidated sofa, looking at a bag of jewelry on the table, feeling complicated and didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

He has just experienced a rebirth, from a survivor who has been struggling for ten years in the last days to a young man in New York in a peaceful world.He should have cheered for this. How lucky he was to escape from the hopeless end times. This is a good thing that no one can even imagine.

But this luck was clouded by the troubles left by the original body.

Three hours ago, he woke up from this body, his body was covered with blood, and beside his feet lay a corpse with a fruit knife stuck in his chest.

Obviously, the original body killed this person, and he became the blame man.

To make matters worse, he accidentally destroyed the evidence proving his innocence.

Noah is a mutated water-type power user. This power entered this body together with his soul. Although the power level has dropped a lot, the body of a mortal can't bear this energy for a while, so in his Without paying attention, the supernatural power spilled out, draining the water in the corpse, and weathering the corpse into ashes, which were so broken that they couldn't even be lifted.

If this was still in the last days, there would be corpses lying all over the streets, zombies, humans, and mutant animals. If a corpse is gone, it will be gone, and no one will care.

But not here, this is a peaceful world, if you are misunderstood and kill someone, you will be jailed.

Noah didn't want to fall into a new predicament just after getting out of the last days, so he quickly wiped out the evidence, collected the powder and flushed it into the toilet, and washed away all the blood in the living room with water power, ensuring that Leaves no trace.

But it is easy to deal with the corpse, but other things are not easy to solve.

Noah's body is called Noah Sievers, a gangster who loves to drink. Two months ago, he lost a lot of money in an underground casino after getting drunk, and owed usury of [-] dollars. So it's being chased recently.

The people in the casino threatened him that if he didn't pay back the money within ten days, they would find a way to help him pay it back.How to pay it back? It's nothing more than selling one's body, organs, and life. Those who hide in the dark can always find a way to exchange priceless human lives for valuable money.

Of course, the original owner didn't want to go up this dead end, so he could only find ways to raise money.

But that's one hundred thousand dollars, which is an astronomical figure for a gangster like the original owner, even if he sells everything, he can't get so much money.

What to do if you can't raise money, then cheat, steal, and rob.

The original owner was not a smart person, he would definitely not be able to cheat, and he didn't dare to rob, so he could only steal.

But he is not very good at stealing. The original owner had no choice, so he found a friend who was used to stealing, and asked him to steal a single woman's house with him.Originally, it was agreed to be half and half, but the woman was unexpectedly rich, and the two of them accidentally stole a bunch of jewels, worth several million.

When this happened, something went wrong. The friend of the original owner felt that he would suffer too much from half a share, so he asked for a [-]-[-] share from the original owner. As the main contributor, he would get [-]% of it.

The original owner was not happy when he heard it, and if he agreed to get [-]% of the money, he should get [-]% of the money, and if he was allowed to take [-]%, wouldn't he be at a big loss.

The two drank some wine because they were happy, but after such a quarrel, the spirit of drinking became stronger, and then the quarrel turned into a fight, and then the original owner accidentally killed each other.

So the current situation is that Noah has a bag of unusable stolen goods in his hand, and he still needs to repay a usury loan of one hundred thousand dollars within ten days, oh, now there are only three days left.

Isn't this killing him? He is a supernatural being, but not a magician. How could he conjure one hundred thousand dollars in three days?

Noah was so worried that his head was going bald, and at this moment cheerful music suddenly sounded in the room.

The sudden sound startled Noah, who was in deep thought, and then took a few seconds to realize that it was the original owner's cell phone calling.

In Noah's world, not long after the apocalypse came, all communication equipment turned into scrap iron. After such a long time, he almost forgot that there are such things as mobile phones in this world.

The bell was still ringing, and Noah searched the house following the sound, and finally found an old mobile phone with many scratches under the sofa.There was a strange incoming call displayed on the screen, and he glanced at it before pressing the connect button.

A formulaic male voice came out of the phone very quickly, and the other party asked quickly: "Hello, this is the "Wilderness Challenge" column team. Is it Mr. Noah Sievers who is answering the phone?"

It's a strange and familiar feeling. Noah took a breath, and said clumsily to the phone: "Yes, I am. What's the matter?"

"Hi, Mr. Sievers, I'm a staff member of the "Wilderness Challenge" column team. You submitted an application to our program a month ago, do you still remember?" asked the person opposite.

Noah restored the memory of the original owner, and found that there was indeed such a thing.

"Wild Challenge" is a survival variety show in the wild. The content of the program is to divide [-] amateurs into three groups and put them in a harsh wild environment for a one-month survival competition. Suffering, various dangers and stimulation, so the ratings have been quite popular in recent years.

And there is another place worth discussing about this show, that is, its high bonus of up to 50 US dollars.

A month ago, the original owner was already worrying about loan sharks. He happened to see that the show was recruiting contestants for a new season. Thinking of the $50 bonus, he submitted the registration form with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

It's just that the original owner also knew that even if he was lucky enough to be selected, it would be very difficult to win the competition, so he forgot about it after registering.If it weren't for this call, Noah probably wouldn't have thought of it.

The other side was still waiting for him to reply, Noah withdrew his divergent thinking and replied: "Yes, I remember, so..."

"So I am very happy to inform you that you have passed the entry review. If you agree to participate, we will send staff to pick you up tomorrow and take you to the hospital arranged by the program group for a medical examination. If the physical examination results pass, you will officially enter the competition the day after tomorrow. Start the program recording. Now please answer whether you agree to participate in the competition, if you agree, we will arrange the next work immediately." The person opposite said quickly.

An opportunity to earn 50 US dollars is in sight, how could Noah refuse, he agreed decisively: "I agree to participate, when will you pick me up tomorrow?"

"Are you free at eight o'clock tomorrow morning?" asked the person opposite.

"Yes, I'm free all day," Noah said.

"Is your address the one written on the entry form?"

"Yes."

"Then our staff will arrive at your residence before eight o'clock, please keep your phone open."

"Okay, I know."

"Goodbye, Mr. Sievers, then, and have a good day."

After the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Listening to the busy tone from the mobile phone, Noah happily rolled around on the broken sofa, as if he had seen his wonderful life after winning the game.

He had no doubts that he would not be able to win the competition. As a doomsday survivor, he could survive for ten years in the apocalypse full of zombies and mutated animals and plants. The ordinary wild environment would not trouble him at all.

Next, Noah spent an hour to calm down his emotions. He sorted out the memory of Noah Sievers, and then packed up and left the house.

He was going to the underground casino where the original owner borrowed money to temporarily suppress the usury matter. He didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble before the competition.

The underground casino was not open during the day, but there were still people staying inside. The original owner was a regular visitor here, and the thugs at the gate recognized his face, and when they saw him coming, they didn't stop him, so they opened the door and let him in.

After Noah went in, he found the boss inside according to his memory. The other party was playing billiards with some scantily clad women. When he saw him, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, Sievers, are you going to pay back the money?"

Noah randomly found a stool and sat down, and said, "Yes, but not now."

When the other party heard Noah's words, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, and he looked at Noah unkindly, waiting for his next words.

Noah didn't seem to notice the muscular men surrounding him, he poured a glass of wine and took a sip and said, "I'm going to participate in "Wilderness Challenge" soon, do you know that show, if you win , with a bonus of 50."

The man felt as if he had heard some joke. He looked at Noah's hemp-like figure with mocking eyes, and said, "So you mean you will win? That's how you are?"

"Why not?" Noah looked at each other, his cold eyes were like a terrible poisonous snake, he said quietly: "I escaped from a foster family when I was 14, and no one knows how to live in the wild better than me. No matter what, I'm sure I'll get the half million, you just have to wait another month, and I'll give you $50 with interest."

The man stared into Noah's eyes, and realized for the first time that this little bastard might not be as simple as he thought. He couldn't help but put his hands on his chest, and said, "What if I want it now?"

Noah drank all the wine in the glass at once, and the spicy liquid stimulated his empty stomach, causing bursts of intense pain.But he didn't become timid because of the pain. On the contrary, the pain excited his body quickly, and at the same time dyed his poisonous snake-like eyes with a crazy red light.

He looked at the man in front of him with these eyes, and said with a smile on his face: "Then you can only pay back the money according to your ideas."

His tone was so ordinary, it sounded like he was talking about an ordinary little thing, not at all like setting himself a terrible ending.

But it is this attitude that makes people feel a little scary.

The man stared at by him didn't know why he felt chills on his back. Out of the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, the man almost immediately said: "Wait for another month, I hope you can do what you say, otherwise some people will be scared." Not so easy to talk to me."

Of course, the forces involved behind this kind of underground casino are not as simple as the surface. Although the man is the boss here, there are actually many behind-the-scenes people above him, and those people are really ruthless.

Noah understood the man's threat, he nodded to him and said, "I understand the rules, and I promise to pay back the money after one month."
