[Comprehensive British and American] Wilderness Survival Journey

After eating a meal of grilled snake meat, Noah and Sarah extinguished the fire and left the small pool.

The environment here on the plain is really bad. There are not enough water resources, no rich food resources, and they have to endure the sun. It is not suitable for long-term waiting, so they need to find a more suitable place to live in before tonight. The place.

"Shall we go towards the mountain now? It seems a bit far away." Sarah covered her eyes with her hands and looked at the highland in the distance.

"You don't have to go that far. The high grasslands are the territory of lions. There are also African buffaloes and elephants there. These guys are not easy to mess with. If possible, we'd better not disturb them." Noah pointed to the place at the foot of the mountain. Looking at a piece of green area, he said: "Do you see the place where the plants are particularly lush? It is fan-shaped, and there should be water there."

"I see, if I used to run for an hour at most, but now we have to walk slowly, it will take a lot of time." Sarah said, and she remade a pair when she was grilling snake meat. Straw sandals, but the new shoes did not bring him a better experience, and she still couldn't walk fast.

"Anyway, we will definitely be able to reach before noon. We can hunt while walking, and now the animals are already up." Noah said.

Just now, in the west direction of them, a few small antelopes just ran past. These little animals were flexible and graceful, which easily aroused Noah's appetite.

At that time, the distance between them was not far, about 200 meters. If Noah wanted to hit, he would definitely hit the target. He was indeed about to shoot with a bow, but at the last moment, he still controlled his hands that were about to move. .

Now Noah is holding a 50-pound recurve bow. With this kind of bow and arrow, generally speaking, a normal person can shoot with an effective range of 80 to 200 meters, and those who can shoot about [-] meters are enough. It is very powerful, and this has to be under the condition of a sunny day without any interference, so if he shoots [-] meters and can shoot the prey to death, it is estimated that the program team will report him to the country later.

But since he had already decided to eat roast antelope, Noah didn't plan to change his lunch recipe, so he decided to look for opportunities to attack while walking.After sleeping all night, these little guys must be hungry, and Noah believed that they would come to him on their own initiative.

In the following time, Noah kept sharpening his arrows and waiting for the little antelopes to come out, but until he and Sarah reached the foot of the mountain, those little guys never appeared again, they seemed to be outsiders who were suddenly broken into They were frightened and ran away completely.

But Noah was not discouraged because he didn't catch any prey on the road, so he could go to the water source to hunt. On such a hot day, animals always need water, so he could just wait there.

After spending more than two hours walking into the plant belt, the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped a bit. Sarah wiped off her sweat and said with a sigh of relief: "Finally, I don't have to be exposed to the sun all the time. My arms and neck have never been so hot. It hurts a little bit from now on.”

Caucasian skin tends to turn red when exposed to the sun, and Sarah's skin exposed outside her clothes has turned red now. Noah glanced at it and said, "You're a bit sunburned, and you'll find water later. Put some mud on the skin."

"I hope to find a little cactus or aloe vera, their juice can help calm my skin." Sarah said.

"Then you should pay more attention just now, there are no cacti in the woods." Noah said, walking towards the water source.

"Forget it, mud is pretty good too." Sarah said, speeding up and not keeping up with Noah.

She didn't want to go back to that plain, she had had enough of the sun there.

The two of them walked slowly in, and the surrounding vegetation began to grow more and more, and there were more animal footprints and feces on the ground.Noah's face slowly showed a little joy, because he had heard the movements of the animals, including the sound of the antelope, and he believed that he could have a full meal at noon.

After making a few bends in the woods, Noah saw the source of water, which was a large pool, several times larger than the pool yesterday, but the water in the pool was still turbid.

Several kinds of animals were drinking water by the pool. Noah saw antelopes, warthogs, giraffes, and ostriches. These guys gathered in twos and threes, looking very comfortable.

"Sarah, hide here for a while. The wind is blowing towards us. These animals can't smell us. I'll take the opportunity to hunt a prey back." Noah whispered, taking off the bow on his back, Carefully approach the pool.

The ears of these animals are very sensitive, as long as there is a little wind and grass, they will be alerted, so Noah's steps are very light and slow, and it took about 3 minutes to walk to the right distance.

After hiding behind the bushes, Noah immediately pulled out a bow and arrow, and then set his eyes on the fattest antelope. With just one arrow, this little guy will become his lunch.

But at this moment, a giraffe suddenly raised its neck. It seemed to sense danger, and ran into the woods behind it.

The surrounding animals were startled immediately. They knew the reason why the giraffe did this, so they fled in all directions.

Noah's arrow shooting was a bit slower because of the sudden chaos, but his eyes were still fixed on the fat antelope. He calculated its escape path, and then shot the arrow directly.

Ten meters, five meters, three meters... Seeing that the arrow was about to shoot through the belly of the antelope, that guy made a sharp turn at the last moment.The bow and arrow passed the antelope's fat buttocks and fell to the ground. The red arrow feathers shook slightly, as if mocking Noah's arrogance.

Noah punched the ground angrily, but he didn't go out to pick up the arrow, because just a second later, a lioness with a body length of more than two meters came out from behind the bushes, leaped over the bow and arrow and flew to the ground. He rushed towards the frantically fleeing antelope.Immediately afterwards, the two sides launched a fierce chase by the water pool, and finally disappeared behind the bushes after 2 minutes.

Noah waited until they were completely invisible before going out to pick up the arrows. He was a little angry when he didn't hit the antelope, which made his face look a little ugly, but Sarah's face was worse than him.

The girl was terrified. She sat on the ground with a pale face and trembling. When she saw Noah came back, she immediately said, "God, my heart is going to be scared out. How close we were to that lion just now. Is there 20 meters?"

"Almost, do you want me to pull you up?" Noah stretched out a hand and said.

"Thank you, I need it very much." Sarah put her hand in Noah's hand, and then stood up with her strength.

She knew it was embarrassing, but she really had a weak leg.

Sarah has always liked to watch the hunting scenes of lions and other beasts in animal documentaries. She thinks it is very exciting and exciting, but after seeing the real hunting scenes at such a close distance today, she deeply felt felt the fear.

When the lion rushed out suddenly, she was so frightened that she couldn't even move at that moment. The thrilling feeling of approaching death really made her unforgettable forever.

After finally recovering, Sarah immediately said to Noah: "This is really terrible, Noah, we have to leave here immediately, I'm afraid that lion will come back here again."

Noah also felt that he should leave this place quickly, but he was not afraid of the lion.Noah carefully observed the appearance of the lion just now. It was very thin, and its hind legs were a little lame when running. It looked like it had been starving for a while because it was injured and could not catch prey. This kind of pitiful the lion is not to fear.

He wanted to leave this water pool because after the fright just now, the small animals around him would not come to drink water again in a short time, and they would not even get too close to it.So in order to have meat for lunch, Noah felt that they had to leave here.

But before they go, they need to add a little water, mainly Sarah needs to drink a little water.She hasn't had a drink for more than two hours and is still sweating. If she doesn't drink some water, the rest of the trip will be difficult.

The water in this pool is also very turbid. Normally, it should be boiled before drinking, but they obviously don't have time to light the fire to boil the water now, so Noah is going to let Sarah drink raw water.

When Noah was extinguishing the fire in the morning, he picked up a few pieces of charcoal and put them in his pocket. He took them out and said to Sarah: "The lion will not come back so soon, so I will use the charcoal to give it to Sarah at this time. Let's get some drinkable water, and you smear some mud on your body as soon as possible, the next puddle is still unknown, we have to make good use of the water resources here."

Emotionally, Sarah wanted to leave this place immediately, but intellectually, she knew that Noah was right, so she came to the river in a cooperative manner, and began to smear mud on her body.

Noah took off his little vest and started to make a simple filter. He rolled up the vest to make a pocket shape, then crushed all the charcoal and put it in.He put the finer pieces of charcoal on the bottom and the thicker ones on top. He spread them as thick as possible. Then he pulled a large handful of hay from the bank and put it in the water. After absorbing the water, he took it out. Squeeze onto the charcoal and let the water filter through the charcoal itself.

Because this simple filter is relatively small, the filtering speed is a bit slow, but the water will flow out much cleaner, of course it cannot be 100% clean, but it is definitely much cleaner than drinking it directly.

When the water started to drip continuously, Noah drank a little by himself first, and then called Sarah over to drink some, but he didn't let her drink more, but just relieved her thirst.

After drinking the water, Noah put on his vest again, and the two began to walk downstream along the dry river.

The author has something to say: After dinner today, a strange tabby cat ran into my house and inspected it, and swayed back and forth in front of me several times with an arrogant face, really wanting to shout at him: "This is my cat. country!"
