Wilderness Challenge [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

[Herb Plantation Field] This task is not difficult for Jennifer.

She has been exposed to almost all the herbs mentioned in the task list. For other players, it is necessary to distinguish the common names of the herbs and their true properties, and then remember where to find these plants, and finally deal with them.

Take Kupeiba again as an example.

The sixth item recorded on the roster is "Cuban balsam". Players who don't know what "Cuban balsam" is may rush to trees such as Cuban red pine, but they can't complete the task after collecting for a long time.

Copaiba is also known in the United States as the "petroleum tree," or it is a species of "petroleum tree."Expert research has found that the composition of the oily sap flowing in the bark of Copaiba tree is close to that of diesel oil. This sap can be directly collected and used as oil without processing.As well as being highly effective, copaiba oil production is also huge, a decent sized copaiba tree can shed several liters of "diesel oil" in a few hours.

Cuban balsam, that is, purified copaiba oil, was regarded as a holy product in the Brazilian herbal medicine system in later generations. It has a wide range of functions. The indigenous people use its analgesic and anti-inflammatory functions to treat diseases of the respiratory system and urinary system. Topical application also heals skin inflammation and promotes new skin regeneration.At first glance, it sounds similar to the purple flower bellwood used by Jennifer, but in addition to these functions, Cuban balsam also has the effect of protecting nerves and calming down.

The trunk of the Copaiba tree that Jennifer found was very thick in diameter. According to the traditional collection method, she compared it at waist height, and then extended it to the tree.In order to collect better, it is no longer enough to cut the bark with a knife. It is necessary to use a long sharp tool to drill a deep hole in the tree to let the resin flow out. Cover the hole with material to protect the fragile trunk.

She expects it will take hours to collect the necessary amount, freeing up time for other herbs.

There is a bark that, when charcoaled, can be used to paint the lines on the faces and bodies of the Aboriginal people, and it is also an excellent odorant, allowing the Aboriginal people to hide from predators and smell "strong" among each other. "; there is a kind of tree sap that can be used as a body lotion. It is said that this juice has a natural fragrance, and it can keep the skin moist and elastic when applied on the face; there are also plants similar to cactus that can be chopped for treatment. dysentery...

About a dozen plants in the roster have been certified by experts and used as medicines, and most of the rest were learned from indigenous tribes in the Amazon.These tribes often have their own "shamans", and a lot of knowledge is only spread among the shamans and the next generation of shamans - except for the knowledge about "sex".

Those more private knowledges are held only in the hands of wise women.

They can use the simplest combination of herbs to prevent pregnancy, sterilize, restore fertility, and are also proficient in the mysteries between the sexes.The two herbs that were recorded on the register must have been the masterpieces provided by these wise women - juniper and lilac.

Juniper bark has long been used by Aboriginal people for insomnia, and lilac bark for rheumatism, flu, infertility, gastrointestinal disorders, and hair loss (again, any herb with its complex composition is always Named several or even dozens of medicinal uses), but in addition to these functions, juniper and ironwood bark are also widely used to improve certain functions.These herbs are said to have helped the centenarians in the tribe maintain their vitality and youth.

Jennifer didn't know if the other contestants laughed when they saw these two herbs. She raised her eyebrows when she saw these two herbs listed together. She wanted to catch the design staff on the spot. Come to an in-depth knowledge exchange.

On her side, she was at ease in the jungle, while Anton, who was watching her recovery, was left to guard the Kupaiba tree, repair the temporary camp, and help the collection tools cut out of branches to prevent the precious liquid from flowing to the ground. go up.

Anton insisted that he "has recovered his health", but the buzzing sense of crisis made Jennifer one head and two big, wishing to press the life ring of his teammates directly, let alone let him run around in the jungle.

Facts have proved that crisis awareness does not lie.

The contestants far away in the Amazon rainforest couldn't see it, but the audience on the other side of the screen could see it clearly.

On the evening of the 30th day of the competition, the mannequin on the right side of Anton's live broadcast room suddenly changed from green to light red, and immediately turned to deep red.These ominous patches of color gathered on his legs, back, throat and brain, especially the brain. The monitoring of physiological data was also vibrating, and many indicators soared to levels unimaginable by ordinary people.

[It was fine just now, what happened now, why did Anton's screen suddenly turn red?I can't even see his face clearly, the whole right side is red!Ska, who retired because of yellow fever two days ago, did not exaggerate so much. Is this heart rate real? 】

[I saw it too... I thought I was reading it wrong, but the display on the computer and mobile phone is the same.Anton's mannequins are now popular across the board, I have never seen such a terrifying health monitoring...]

[Why didn't the ring of life take measures?It's clearly written in the competition manual. The ring of life should provide the option of interventional treatment when the player's life is in danger. The disease can't develop all at once. The ring of life is invalid? 】

[Same question, it's impossible for the condition to become so serious all of a sudden, why didn't the life ring move at all two days ago?I still remember that Anton complained that his leg hurts, and Jenny gave him the medicine. 】

【what's up! 】

Yeah, what's going on.

Everyone was asking this question, and the commentators who were laughing and chatting just now also showed a look of bewilderment.

Both Bell and Cody are survival experts. They have more or less experience in survival in the rainforest, and have experienced the baptism of the extreme environment of the Amazon. Let them say that they can easily give at least ten diseases that may be contracted in the rainforest —whether through mosquito bites or poisonous plant contamination.

However, at this moment they looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one knew what kind of disease would change a person's indicators from normal to abnormal in just a few minutes.In other words, they have some vague guesses, but no one is willing to say this cruel guess.

What finally broke the silence was the ring of life who acted completely according to the program and had no ability to think emotionally.

A few minutes later, the health monitoring that was always displayed on the right side of the live broadcast room gave the results found after the emergency mobilization of the life ring.Those few words were so cold and without warmth that almost everyone who was watching the live broadcast was frozen speechless.

Spinal fluid test: rabies virus infection.

Big red characters began to flicker on the screen, very glaring and ugly, but even the audience who were used to complaining about Jennifer's screen flashing "schistosomiasis infection" in the past two days didn't have a word to say.

The Jiugongge comment area was quiet at first, and then fell into an unprecedented frenzy of swiping the screen.

[wtf? ? ? wtf? ? ?what? ? ? ? ? 】

【Crazy?Rabies?Isn't that the end?Is there any way to cure it now? 】

【Even though Jenny was attacked by a vampire bat in the cave, why is Anton now that she is fine?And so many players who have gone into the hole before are all fine. I see that some of them were bitten by bats and bleeding for several days without stopping the bleeding. Why?Why are they all right?I can't figure it out. 】

[Can you stop talking nonsense?Everyone is looking forward to good players, why are there still looking forward to bad players?It's not enough to dare to fall for one trick, it's better for everyone to fall for it, right? 】

[Stop arguing, this is a human life, why did this happen? 】

【Do you want us to watch a person die?I can really accept being killed by a sudden beast attack, because I can't foresee that kind of thing in advance, but I really can't accept a foreseeable death. 】

【I do not want! ! ! [Big cry][Big cry][Big cry]]

Not to mention the players, even the commentators have serious expressions.

Bell opened his mouth to say "Sure enough", because he and Cody actually guessed this possibility, but the phrase stuck in his throat, and the only thing he could say in the end was "What a pity", "It's a pity".

Ricky Gervais, who has always been joking, gasped, looked at the left side in disbelief, and then at the right side, as if hoping that two experienced colleagues could give some other answers.

It's a pity that Cody really can't speak other words besides "God" and "Seven Hells".

If Jennifer had sat in front of the screen, she might have had the opportunity to empathize with other people, but she didn't.

She was handling a coffee clump when Anton fell ill.

Coffee Ana, also known as jungle coffee, is a natural coffee favored by indigenous people.Just tear the leaves of the herb and soak it in water, either hot or cold, and you’ll end up with a cup of raw coffee that’s both delicious and medicinal, and can be used to treat malaria, dengue and yellow fever.

When Jennifer saw this clump of plants, she wanted to take it back, and enjoy some of them by soaking them in the bubbles, which can strengthen her resistance and calm down the schistosomiasis in her body; As long as you chew out the ingredients that can heal people, it can be regarded as a double insurance.

The sense of crisis flashed through her mind like a broken car dashboard warning light.Car owners who have been troubled by car lights will know how annoying it is. If the lights flash for half an hour, they can still swear at the street and worry about what is wrong with the car. After the lights flash for two or three days, people are willing to do anything to deal with it. question.

She is willing to deal with the problem, but the problem is not willing to wait.

Jennifer ran into the crazy Anton when she returned to the temporary camp with the coffee Ana leaves. Broken branches.Jennifer could see his body shaking, or convulsing, whether it was from the cold or something else—she could also see the inhuman panic and aggression in his eyes.

"Damn it," she said to herself.

At this moment, all the clues were connected into a thread. What kind of dirty river water caused bacterial infection, what kind of schistosomiasis, there was no such thing at all.It turned out that what had been troubling Anton was not at that level at all, but something more serious.

In 2010, the first death from rabies infection occurred in the United States due to an attack by a vampire bat.This young man in Michoacan, Mexico was attacked by a vampire bat. The injury was on his heel. Based on the inertia of the vampire bat, the wound was not deep and there was no severe pain, so the patient did not take it seriously.Ten days after being attacked, the patient left his hometown and went to work in Louisiana in the United States. He immediately developed a series of symptoms and was confirmed to be infected with rabies virus. He died shortly after the life support system was turned off with the consent of his family. He was only 19 years old.

This year, just a few months ago, cdc (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) published relevant research results on this incident.They found that the rabies virus transmitted by vampire bats is more aggressive than other rabies viruses in the country, and the incubation period is shorter, often only one to two weeks.The threat posed by vampire bat attacks was never on the public mind until this case was publicized.

Jennifer knows that vampire bats can transmit diseases, just like she knows that mosquitoes can transmit various diseases such as malaria, but you know, not everyone can associate vampire bats with rabies, and then associate leg pain with the prodromal period of rabies. A series of symptoms linked together.She suspected at most that some bacteria were causing the pain, or simply schistosomiasis.

The antibiotics could have been used on Jennifer herself, but she evened out some of these pills and gave them to Anton, not even using her own share, waiting to see the aftereffect and give emergency treatment.All of this is a response to the sense of crisis, and it is also a care for the survival companions.

Crisis awareness is crisis awareness after all, and it made her scalp ache. It turned out that schistosomiasis was not the worst situation.

This is rabies.

Known terminal illness.

Once the disease occurs, there is no cure.

Gritting her teeth, Jennifer stabbed Anton to the ground with the pike ball, and then pressed him to the ground, carefully avoiding his teeth and nails.Although there have not been any reports of human-to-human transmission of rabies, the rabies from vampire bats seems to be somewhat different from the rabies transmitted by cats and dogs in the city, and there is not much data to refer to.

She suppressed Anton, who started to writhe and struggle like a fish landing on the shore, and pressed the screaming blue alarm on his life ring with one hand.

The ring of life is opened.

A light shield symbolizing safety was issued from the instrument, and Jennifer was pushed back in a few seconds to block it from the protective shield.She could see many blue beams pinning Anton to the ground like leather cords, preventing him from hurting herself, or breaking free by hitting the protective shield.

From the opening of the life ring to the helicopter landing, Jennifer stood by holding the spear all the time, without saying a word.

Until Anton was carried on the plane by four medical crew members, he recovered briefly from the excitement period, first saw the hint on the ring of life that could make anyone collapse, then stared at her with a familiar panicked look, and mouthed asked:

"Am I going to die?"

"You won't die."

Jennifer consoled hollowly.

What made her sad was that Anton immediately showed a relieved expression, as if he had returned to that cave, outside the spider's dead city, and back to the time when he just formed a team.He always had great trust in her, like so many others.

This realization made Jennifer feel restless.

Do you want to say that the life-saving means of the program group should be better?

As the world's most sophisticated integrated therapeutic device, the ring of life can fully meet the mission needs of the military, secret agents and even many superheroes. It has already become famous in the underground society before it was launched on the market. They can all lie in bed with this project, and the wealth that little Osborne can inherit has more than doubled.With the reptile potion, even if two legs are broken, it can be saved, but it is unlucky to encounter rabies.

Are you saying that the track should not be arranged in the underground waterway?

No track can be said to be absolutely safe. On the contrary, every track player is taking risks with his head hanging on his belt.Vampire bats are just one of the unsurprising difficulties on the entire track. Just talking about animals, not terrain, weather and plants, electric eels may kill players, piranhas may kill players, crocodiles may kill players, even the smallest Mosquitoes can also kill players.

Do you want to say that the recruited players are unlucky?

Bad luck, really bad luck.

Two hundred people entered the Amazon rainforest together, ten mission points, one month passed, at least five or sixty people had done the mission [Blood-sucking Feast], the location of the three boxes was also fixed, the bat swarm It is even more impossible to favor one person over another, only attacking some players and not attacking others. Even Jennifer has marks of bat attacks on her body, and she was bleeding profusely in the first few days.In such a relatively fair environment, Anton was the only one who was infected with rabies. The odds fell on him. What is it if it's not bad luck?

But Anton was still trembling and stammering to himself before boarding the plane. He didn't know whether he was comforting himself, or comforting Jennifer or other medical staff.

"Maybe they have a way to deal with this kind of thing, you know, you know, haha, before the brown bear potion, I always thought it was impossible to restore dark wounds, and before the reptile potion, I always thought it was impossible to regenerate severed limbs. Yes , maybe Osborne has other potions..."

"Poor child." The medical team leader stood beside Jennifer.

There was a long silence.

Jennifer cut to the chase without much hope: "What will happen to him?"

The medical team leader said conservatively: "We will not let go of any possibility."

"That means you have no medicine." Jennifer said, "That's right, rabies is an incurable disease like many cancers. Osborn's life ring is already eye-catching enough. If he wants to cure rabies, I'm afraid The researchers under him will all have to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine."

"I'm sorry, ma'am." The medical team leader said regretfully.It was difficult for him to pour those medical terms on the players' heads: onset means that the disease has entered the course, the rabies virus bypasses the immune system and directly attacks the central nervous system, and the rabies virus spread by vampire bats is even more severe... . . but he doesn't have to talk about it either.

The best mechanism for human beings to convey emotion is expression, in addition to language. No one can say without conscience that the medical team leader’s expression is not serious at this time. This expression is the kind that can directly play the role of “Mourning Bird” in a movie. The expression is the kind of expression that is put in the documentary to match the door of the operating room all the year round, sad and worried.The sad thing is that the established fate cannot be reversed, and the worry is that I don't know what kind of reaction people will make when they hear the bad news.

Jennifer did give him a very negative reaction.She sighed.

The medical team leader looked back at the helicopter, then looked at her carefully, and finally said hesitantly: "At present, there is no way to detect the rabies virus in the incubation period. The life ring is already equipped with the best monitoring system. That would have to wait for an attack to be found out. You gave him antibiotics, which was very generous. With all due respect, Miss Davies, there's not much you can do."

He probably thought that she was blaming herself for this matter, so he opened up to appease—Jennifer did feel that she was somewhat responsible for this matter. If she remembered the research results a few months ago, she might be able to save her. a life,

But it was not only the painful, risky price that made her sigh, but also the heart of nature, which had been silent for a long time and then revived.

Touched by some scene, this terminal of the soul of all things showed her the hive will of the virus with light and shadow.How they are well-trained to destroy the immune defenses of humans and other animals at the micro level, how they cooperate with each other, and how they greedily spread and reproduce.Surprisingly, even microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria are wonderfully connected at the level of the heart of nature.

"You created a virus, why?" Jennifer asked in her heart.

"You asked me why I didn't control the population of creatures earlier," replied the Heart of Nature, "and these things, viruses, and what you humans call super viruses, are the lake of fire on Judgment Day. Believe me, dear, There are more wonderful killers than viruses in that lake of fire."

This answer did not surprise Jennifer.

She has long understood that the heart of nature is not an obedient puppy, at certain times it can become very lively, but at certain times, most of the time, when it is willing to show its true self, it can become extremely cold and cruel.

Its cruelty and cruelty do not come from emotion, on the contrary, its super-rational thinking comes from its lack of emotion.

Jennifer's throat moved.

She wanted to ask why she was chosen, did it mean that the heart of nature thought she was also a cruel and cruel person; she wanted to ask what the price of this ability would be and where it would lead her; she wanted to ask One after another, living beings died. Are there any living beings that are special in the eyes of the Heart of Nature...but she finally didn't ask.

One trouble after another, she was faced with more troublesome problems than Anton's death, which haunted her for the next few days, making her have to deal with the heart of nature and many problems at the same time. Obstruction and pursuit by other players——

Two hundred players are chasing after each other in this green hell, more than 60 people have quit the competition for one reason or another, and no player has collected all ten medals for the time being.Starting from No. 30 days, the battle report given by the camera team is not simply a summary of data, but also a detailed ranking.

The companion retired, and that night Jennifer returned to her vigil life.She built a small wooden bed among the trees, just like when she first landed.

The next morning, before she could gather her thoughts, the camera crew brought the bad news.

All the players have seen it. Under the regular data, there are one brand new ranking list after another, and a name is impressively listed on the top of the list——

[Top: Jennifer Davis, 5. 】
