Wilderness Challenge [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

On the fourth day after the storm came, the rain gradually eased, and the wind was no longer harsh.

With an extra mouth, Jennifer almost used up all her food reserves. She stood outside the rain curtain to observe the situation on the mountain for a while, and decided to venture out for food.

As soon as he walked out of the cave, he was blocked by a tree.The tree was estimated to have been uprooted by the wind two days ago. It was stuck obliquely on the edge of the hillside, the roots dragged down the slope, and the crown and the roots of the banyan tree were stuck together.

Cut off a few branches with a knife, go around the cliff and climb to a high place, and the panorama of the whole deserted island will emerge in front of you.

When going up the mountain, the jungle was still so dense that it was frightening, but after the storm, the vegetation became sparse, like a board that had been cut by a razor, and the whole was shorter.

Jennifer walked from the back slope to the other side of the mountain. Along the way, she could see the bare ground after the leaves were blown, rotten fruits and broken branches.She carefully picked out a few fruits that were still intact, wiped them and put them in her backpack. After walking a little further, she saw a few clusters of coiled earthworms and insect flies.

Seeing someone coming, the scavenger-eating insect flew up in fright, and Jennifer finally saw that there were two small brown and black birds lying dead among the soil.Their coat color is exactly the same as that of dead leaves, but the protective color can only protect them from predators, but not from the wrath of natural disasters.

The bodies of the two chicks looked intact, so they probably died from the sudden drop in temperature on a rainy night.

Jennifer sighed, thinking of the big injured bird in the cave, and the two young birds that might have grown up safely.

From an individual point of view, this is a catastrophe from heaven; but from an overall point of view, this is the law of nature, and there is really no one to blame.Wild and strong, no matter how the world changes, there are always animals that can survive, reproduce, evolve, and stretch for tens of thousands of years.

Instead of bothering to bury the bird, she concentrated on finding food in the woods after the storm.When the backpack was almost full, I dug some worms in the mud with a knife and wrapped them in wide leaves, ready to feed them to the birds.

Jennifer was drenched when she returned to the cave, and she was worried all the way for fear that the stupid bird would roast herself, but when she pulled up the rain curtain, she saw that she was nestling in the corner and combing her feathers with a sharp beak.

Wild and strong, she sighed again.

Many animals will have a stress response to being rescued by humans, and they will fall ill at least, or die at worst.But it can’t be said that the ring of life is particularly effective or that this egret crane is destined for her. Not to mention the hunger strike, it is alive and kicking, and often gets angry when it is not fed for a few hours.

Probably fate is destined to meet her and be rescued by her.

The cause and effect of the past life, the hand of God, the three sisters of fate, and the three goddesses of Noren, it seems that someone is writing a book with no beginning and no end, but no matter what kind of story it is, companionship is two-way Yes, she can't keep some things around her forever.

***

On the fifth day after the storm, the weather cleared and the crisis passed, leaving 177 people to continue the challenge.

This morning Jennifer checked Big Bird's injury. After making sure that the wound was healing well, she took the life ring off his neck and put it on again.

As soon as he got out of the bondage, the big bird stretched its neck and was about to cry again. Jennifer took two steps back and quickly lifted the rain curtain, and the sunlight outside came in, which immediately attracted its attention.

She hung the rain curtain on the second wooden fence, wrapped it tightly with plant ropes, cut off the tattered gauze on the egret crane's wings, and pushed it outward.

"Come on," she said softly, "the storm is over, go back to where you belong."

But the more she pushed, the more Heluhe wanted to go back, and then simply got under the mat, completely unaware that such a small straw mat could not cover its "huge" body at all.

This scene made the audience a little funny and a little sad.

[Although they still have to be released into the jungle, but... I don’t know if the two just now are the children of Big Bird, if so, how sad it is to see. 】

【However, Jenny didn’t give it a name at all. She usually calls it “idiot” or “bird”. She even named the video camera, so she must have been prepared to separate from it. 】

[Don't separate, it doesn't want to part with you [crying] [crying] [crying]]

If someone said it was reluctant in front of Jennifer, she would definitely scoff at it.From her point of view, this stupid bird is clearly reluctant to leave, but how can a bird live in a cave all the time?

It is difficult to change what she has made up her mind to, so she immediately picked up the bird and walked out.Ordinarily, a bird that cannot fly after leaving the ground should be frightened and struggle desperately, but Luhe not only did not struggle, but turned its neck to look at her.

Jennifer could feel its rapid heartbeat in the palm of her hand, and the warm temperature floated to her fingers through the thick feathers.

She put the bird outside the cave and gave it another push. "Come on," she said, "you must go home, and I must go home, and it is better to live in the woods than by the sea."

Stepping on the wet land and feeling the unhurried mountain breeze, the egret crane finally had the intention to leave. It ran a few steps quickly towards the back slope, and turned back when it was seven or eight meters away from the banyan tree. Take a look.

Jennifer threw a small rock.

It took two steps back and ran away without looking back.

***

Jennifer is not aimless, she said that she is going back to "home", which means she really wants to go home.

At noon that day, she packed all her luggage, packed as lightly as she had when she came, and headed for the coastline.The downhill road is more difficult than the uphill, not only to pay attention to dangerous gaps, but also to pay attention to the trees that are blown to this side by the wind.

It took her a lot of effort to get close to the coastline. She thought she could return to the life she had in the early days of going to the island, but when she walked out of the woods, she was immediately stunned by the sight in front of her——

There are all kinds of rubbish all over the beach, as big as a whole plastic shed, as small as drift bottles, broken toys, buoyancy bubbles... These rubbish are piled up on the beach like hills, and even one can stay None of the places.The ocean has returned everything that humans have thrown to it back to the land. This deserted island alone has such a terrifying scene. It is hard to imagine what kind of garbage dump the large landmass will become.

Jennifer walked along the edge of the woods with a heavy heart, and the audience in front of the screen was even more shocked than she was.

In the open area, all four cameras are working, and the tragedy of the entire coastline can be clearly seen from the panoramic position of No. [-] camera.It was heaven when she landed, and now it's hell.

"I have seen a statistic before," Jennifer stopped by the coconut grove, "Human beings discharge at least 800 million tons of plastic waste into the ocean a year, and this does not include other types of waste. Scientists say that every island has With human waste, even the most remote island in the world is polluted."

She pointed ahead, and the camera flew over to take a close-up shot.

"No wonder Neptune sent a letter to the United Nations Environment Program last year... Although I don't know much about the Atlanteans, it is always an indisputable fact that they live on the bottom of the sea. Sea creatures that cannot speak for themselves are considered Yes, it’s only natural for them to come out to protest. It’s like someone buried my house with rubbish, and I have the heart to fight with him.”

From this point of view, the campsite seemed to be in better condition, but it was impossible for Jennifer to continue living by the sea.

In addition to garbage, the beach is also full of fish and shrimp washed up from the bottom of the sea, and even saw a few sea turtles, coral reef fragments and dead moray eels, and flocks of birds gathered here to look for food.The entire coastline has become a seafood market, exuding an indescribable stench.

"Dead people can be smoked back to life here." Jennifer shook her head, "Rotten seafood contains a lot of bacteria, and seabirds also accumulate these murderous things in their bodies. These sea creatures are useless to me, but garbage can be used. use."

Jennifer made her way to some of the largest garbage dumps, fending off eager seagulls with a wooden spear as she went.These marine bandits have a history of killing humans and killing them, and she won't let her guard down.

As the old saying goes, one man's trash can be another man's treasure.

She rummaged through the sand and took out all the useful things and put them in a separate pile. "Mineral water bottles can be used to hold fresh water, and plastic sheds can be used to make fences... There is also a plastic bowl with a hole missing, which looks like a fast food box... What is this? Silk Is it a towel? It seems to be something like a streamer?..."

A very small octopus was slumped crookedly on the red streamer, and it didn't appear to be dead, at least still wriggling.

Jennifer's eyes lit up.

She looked around, and found that the eyes of most of the dead fish were protruding and cloudy, and the skin of the fish seemed soft when poked with a wooden spear, but a small number of creatures seemed to be alive, such as the sea cucumber that had just been scared to spit out all its internal organs, such as several A sea urchin with dangling spines, and a bewildered octopus or two.

"Looks like there's still something to eat," she said cheerfully.

Edible creatures were caught and washed in seawater, and all were wrapped in canvas.Sea urchins cannot be carried, so Jennifer cut off their spines with a knife, pried them open, and dug out the still dirty gonads.

"Fortunately, these sea urchins wouldn't have stayed here and waited to die if the storm hadn't knocked them ashore and nearly broke off all their spines." She curled her lips, "It's a bit tougher than I thought, and there's nothing I can do about it. We usually eat Most of the delicious sea urchins are horse dung sea urchins and purple sea urchins. Almost all sea urchins in this sea are sea urchins with long spines. With such a long arm, it's no joke to tie it."

But now they are all toothless tigers.

After eating three or four sea urchins, Jennifer supplemented with some protein, and continued to search for usable garbage and edible seafood.

She plans to make a few extra trips to transport the stuff to the cave.

It was true that it took a lot of effort to find the cave at the beginning, but now that the residence has been formed and the exact location is known, it doesn't take much time to go back and forth.The most wonderful thing is that from the cave to the slow beach to the bamboo forest is almost an equilateral triangle, and the back slope behind the cliff also has a lot of resources.At present, it seems that there are no large predators on this island except snakes, so she can use the shelter she has made.

"Okay, let's go." After putting away her things, she picked up her bag and the knotted canvas.

Several seabirds fought for a big fish, their cries resounded through the sky, and their bloody feathers fluttered wantonly in the air.

Jennifer admired the scene of the weak and the strong for a moment, and she was filled with emotion.

"Some fish and shrimp return to the ocean with the tide, and some fish and shrimp are swallowed by seabirds. They all return to the embrace of nature in the end." She said softly, "The same is true for human beings. After we die, we will all be turned into nutrients... So, no matter what kind of brilliance we create, what we can experience in the long river of history is only a moment, how many can experience eternity?"

Perhaps it is with this idea that human beings are born with prejudice, awe and longing for superhumans.
