Wilderness Challenge [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

If there is any unique temperament cultivated by the end of the world for Jennifer, it is probably fearless in the face of danger, commonly known as a big heart.

That night, she fell asleep not long after lying down, and when she got up early in the morning, she found that the fire had been extinguished at some point, and the moisture of the jungle was creeping in from outside the cave.

The screens played by several cameras reflected the cave wall in blue, and the logo projected on the stone wall distorted into an unrecognizable shape.

[Day 8: The number of survivors is 877, and the number of winners is 9. 】

Someone has already reached the end!

Jennifer's pupils shrunk.

It is said that the track prepared by the program group cannot be simple, and it is too exaggerated to reach the finish line in one week.I'm afraid these people have some adventures, maybe they ran into hikers and search and rescue team members, maybe bumped into the aborigines who went hunting in the mountains, maybe they picked up abandoned vehicles... Her surprise was just—— After thinking about it, he shook his head and put aside the next set of data.

Compared with the latter, the former revealed more news.A few days before the first round of competition, more than half of them were lost, but now less than 150 people have retired after seven days. It seems that most people subconsciously act together with the team members. A pack of wolves live longer than a lone wolf.

Jennifer sighed and waved the projection away.

Breakfast is the blueberries left over from yesterday. The wild blueberries that ripen early in April are small in size, and they are not very sweet when eaten in the mouth. They are sour and astringent.

She ate and packed her things in silence, and soon she was ready, and took her wooden spear and knife and walked towards the river.

Walking along the path squeezed out yesterday, bypassing the last two or three bushes, Jennifer stared fixedly, her face darkened: three people were sitting on the bank of the river where the raw materials for the raft were placed, and one of them was standing straight with his back straight as if he was on guard. , and the other two were leaning against each other and sleeping together.

The wood and ropes have been touched by people, and it can be seen that the people who moved it also have some experience in making rafts. The semi-finished products made are not very beautiful, but they are still good enough.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the watchman immediately raised his knife, and did not relax his vigilance until he saw clearly through the hazy sky. "Miss Davis." The voice came out, and the two sleeping contestants were awakened almost at the same time, turning around nervously like burning their buttocks.

"What does this mean?" Jennifer stood still two or three meters away, "How did you find it?"

The three looked at each other, and finally Jacob broke the silence: "Yesterday we saw you collecting wood on the cliff, and then went to the river to fetch water. We guessed that you might plan to camp here, so we discussed it. I'll make peace with you."

He faltered, as if he also felt a little embarrassed.

"As for how we found it, after we crossed the river - we walked straight forward and found a gentle slope in the middle of the night."

Jennifer was surprised: "Rushing all night?"

Jacob was silent for a moment, and pointed to his left wrist: "You also know that the map given by the ring of life is a holographic projection with fluorescence. We found that sticking a thin wooden thorn into the side can keep the screen constantly lit. This should be design flaw."

Jennifer: "..."

Is this still possible?Is there such an operation?Who is so talented to use such a crooked brain?

Her gaze swept over the honest Jacob, Anna with a face full of displeasure, and finally settled on Kevin.

The big boy who studied geography smiled at her and rubbed his hands very proudly. "I usually like to play with these gadgets, but things made by big companies can always be found by people."

Jennifer: "..."

Seeing her slightly surprised look, Jacob successfully uttered their appeal: "Miss Davis, we have all seen your performance in the first round, this round you were sick in the early stage but also caught up It can be seen that he knows the forest survival skills like the back of his hand.”

He paused for a moment: "I have been trained for survival, and they have their own strengths. The second round of promotion-a total of 400 places, we actually don't have much conflict in essence, don't we? The Rocky Mountains are full of crises, and then go down Walking is even more active for wild beasts, and the more people there are, the more they will be safe."

If you were still a bit indecisive after hearing the previous few sentences, this sentence "the beast is active" just hit Jennifer's mind.

There is a dangerous female bear with a child in this area, and there has never been a record of a bear attacking a team of more than 6 people in the past, which shows that the number of opponents can constitute a deterrent to brown bears to a certain extent.As long as the opponent's physical strength can keep up and obey the command, it is not difficult for her to lead a few people through the forest.

She turned to the other two: "What about you, what do you think? You agree with these words?"

The big boy Kevin showed a flattering smile, but Anna turned her head away with a worried expression, as if she had acquiesced.

Jennifer watched with cold eyes, fully understanding what she was thinking.

Into the Wild is a platform with huge potential.

Some contestants take part in the competition because of their safety. They may have thought of living in the wild, but they have never obtained a life-saving weapon like the life ring;

Some players participate in the competition to make money. After the first round, the official clearance bonus is as high as 100 million. Players who have not cleared the level but rank in the top 1000 can also get rewards ranging from 30 to 50 according to the number of days of elimination. For many For people, it is a huge sum of money enough to buy a house and a car;

There are also contestants who participate in the competition for the sake of fame. The invited celebrities want to show off quickly and don’t show off their fans. The businessmen who plan to engage in the outdoor industry want to improve their reputation and experience, and the lady in front of them wants to be familiar. .

Anna White can enter the second round and has not suffered any serious injuries so far. She must have abilities, but that's all.

The competition system of "Wilderness Challenge" increases the difficulty round by round. Who can guarantee [-]% to reach the end?Besides, she has survival skills, who in this show doesn't have survival skills?

Audiences are ruthless, they can only see the outstanding ones, not the mediocre ones.

Does this person have a background?Do you look particularly good-looking?Does the skill break your leg?Is it Ziweixing and Koi from the sky?

No, no, no, neither, so why do viewers with limited entertainment time choose her among 1000 live broadcast rooms?

Based on this consideration, every extra shot is precious to Anna White.

Purple red is red, black red is also red, a bad reputation is better than no one cares about it. Some people are grasping this point, whether they want to gain a position through strange behaviors, or catch more famous people to tie up and post hype.Whether it is pretending to be intimacy or being tit-for-tat, no matter whether it is good or bad, first leave a name in the hearts of the audience, and when there are works in the future, there will be no chance to wash it.I am most afraid that the popularity will never rise, 380 lines, the comments under the post are all asking "who is this", how embarrassing.

The truth is almost the same as what Jennifer guessed.

How many people in the world knew who Anna White was before "Into the Wild"?But being on the world's most watched outdoor reality show, and the first round happened to be a familiar ocean environment, with enough room for expression, she has already managed to gain some fame, and took advantage of the popularity to launch her own survival channel.

The second round of grouping is very beneficial. After the show became popular, millions of people watched Jennifer’s live broadcast every day. Conflict—fermentation can also expand the influence through fans’ fighting. Even if there are so many people in ten—remember her Whoever can make a lot of money.If you count the time, "Jennifer Davis" and "Anna White" may have become related terms in the Google search bar by now.

Jennifer didn't know what was happening outside the mountains, but she had already figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and suddenly felt ridiculous.

The tricks used by the opponent are all worthless tricks.

She has been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years in her previous life and present life, and she has never seen such a big storm.Not to mention the previous life, everyone in Hollywood has two faces in this life.

Actresses, some of them are usually affectionate and call their sisters, and when they go on talk shows, they "talk" and make up black material, and some scenes start to post all kinds of "excluded" or "exposed" messages in the middle of filming. The draft, the male actors are not much better, some of them are of poor character, and even more disrespectful to women.

In this way, coming to the city is not as good as the wilderness, at least it can be clean here.

Kevin knows how to read words and expressions. Seeing that her face is calm, he immediately slapped the snake with the stick: "I didn't sleep last night, okay? Otherwise, let's rest—shall we go out later?"

So when Jennifer came back to her senses, she found that she had been "us".

She thought for a while, and finally decided to put dealing with brown bears first. "No. Last night I found traces of brown bears in this forest. The female bear with her cubs is very aggressive. If you continue wandering in this area, you may meet her on a narrow road. Using the river, we can quickly rush out of her Territory. The raft isn't big enough, have any of you tried drifting without a vehicle?"

Jacob raised his hand.

Anna pouted: "I used to swim in the river a lot."

Jennifer looked at them: "I don't want to stay for a moment, I have to go today. But I must remind you that rafting in the river is extremely risky, and people with good water skills may encounter life-threatening emergencies. Are you ready to follow along?"

Both Jacob and Anna nodded, and Kevin, whose hands were not yet strong enough, turned pale with fright, but met Anna's fierce gaze, and tremblingly agreed.

It seems that they don't have much idea about drifting yet.

Jennifer frowned: "You guys have to think about it, this is a matter of life and death. If something happens to someone, I will not be responsible. You must be responsible for yourself."

She stared at Kevin, but seeing the latter's expression of looking at death at home at this moment, she almost wished to jump into the river immediately and dignifiedly. "I...I'm fine, I can!"

"Okay, that's what you said." Jennifer stopped persuading, "I tested it yesterday, and the depth and velocity of this river are sufficient for rafting. Wilson, White, you should pay attention to your posture after entering the water, with your feet in front and your head in front of you." In the back, keep the sitting posture with your limbs slightly bent, and adjust the direction in time. It doesn’t matter if you bump your hands and legs, as long as you protect your torso and head from impact. I am the first to go into the water, White is the second, and Wilson is the third , Rodriguez followed behind."

At least on the surface, everyone obeyed this arrangement.

—Everything is ready, without wasting any more time, Jennifer carefully warmed up, then quickly took off her jacket and stuffed it up, put her bag in front of her, and took the lead in jumping into the water from the rock with her nose pinched.

The river was still icy cold, but warmer than upstream, and the water was rushing past the two waterfalls.She relaxed her body and let the river water engulf her, and used her legs to adjust the direction when she encountered a big rock.

The speed of drifting is much faster than walking, but sometimes it is too fast to escape, but sometimes several turbulent currents merge together to form a small eddy, which is a bit dangerous for inexperienced explorers.

At this time, the bulging backpack will play a certain floating effect, pulling her up from the shackles of the water rope.

Controlling the direction of drifting is a huge test of physical strength. After drifting for about seven or eight kilometers, Jennifer pedaled backwards on a big rock, stabilized her body and rested, and took the opportunity to look at the few people behind.

In the rushing white waves, several color blocks with different poses can be seen floating up and down.

Fortunately, they are still alive.

She saw the time and stretched out her hand to pull the reluctant Anna behind her, then dragged the screaming Kevin, and finally made room for Jacob so that he could also pick up the stone.The rest time should not be too long, the river is cold after all, the longer you stay, the more dangerous you may be. After about 2 minutes, she set off again.

The scenery on both sides of the river flew by in the corner of the eye, and the four of them continued to drift like this, until Kevin was exhausted during the last break and turned ashore.

***

The place where they stopped was a dense coniferous forest. Jennifer let everyone run back and forth by the river, and she went into the forest to bring back firewood to start a fire.

After the first round, the trio had watched the replay of drilling wood to make fire, but seeing with their own eyes that this process, which is complicated for ordinary people, was so simple under her hands, they still felt a little complicated.

But no matter what, if you have milk, you are a mother, and if you have thighs, you are a big brother. When sitting around the fire to warm up and dry clothes, even Anna, who was usually the most unfriendly, pinched her nose and didn't make irresponsible remarks.

Jennifer opened the life ring while everyone was resting and estimated the distance to the finish line. It was almost the same as she predicted. The green dot moved towards the red dot by a section. Procedure.

"We'll get to our destination soon if we go on like this," Jacob pointed out.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy." Jennifer said in a deep voice, "You can, but they can't."

This is a blunt statement, but it is true.

Drifting has achieved great results, but also brought many sequelae.Even she herself had been hit by stones in many places, and she felt as if she had been run over by a big truck several times.The three people on the opposite side were only worse than her. Except for the specially trained Jacob who could suppress the discomfort on his body, the other two couldn't help but lose control of their expressions every time they moved, and their faces twisted live in front of the camera - Hundreds of poses.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!" the delicate Kevin yelled.

"It's okay if it hurts, you choose the road yourself." Jennifer squinted at him, "This is "Wilderness Challenge", not "Picnic by the River". Don't you like geography, many great geographers personally Going to dangerous areas to survey the terrain, some broke their legs, and some paid the price with their lives, do you think it hurts?"

Pain, why not pain, of course it hurts.

Kevin was terribly blocked by these words. After all, he is still a man who wants to have self-respect, so he can only moan, hold back his tears and dare not return his words.

This child is probably destined to be fed to crocodiles in the last days.

Jennifer looked at the others: "Let's rest while working. Let's find food separately, and continue on our way after lunch. There is no safe place in the forest. Only when we reach our destination can we relax our vigilance. There is no time to waste now. Let's go." , all moving."

As soon as the words were finished, Jacob stood up first, probably because he didn't want to be underestimated, Anna immediately gritted her teeth and followed him to stand up, and they all walked into the woods.

The ground of this coniferous forest is very humid, the trees grow densely, and the sun can't easily reach the ground.In this natural environment, there are many fungi growing on the roots of trees, waiting for animals to discover them.

Today these mushroom bushes ushered in the first batch of human guests they have seen in many years, and they all use their colorful colors and weird shapes to threaten the visitors.

Jacob Rodriguez is the pride of the SEALs. Unfortunately, the survival class he took did not detail the types of mushrooms in each area. Now he is standing in front of a tree and clenching his fists, not knowing what to do. good.After hesitating for a while, he bent down and picked up a brown mushroom, but was mercilessly rejected by Kevin who was limping and holding the back of his hand.

"It's poisonous, you can't eat it." The big boy sniffed.

"What about this?"

"It's also poisonous."

"this?"

"...This bush is poisonous, don't look for it here!"

Jennifer listened to the two male contestants bickering, while she searched along the tree, collected edible fungi with her hands, and from time to time called Buddy of the No. [-] machine to fly closer to take close-up shots.

When she found one of the trees, she stopped.

The few clusters of mushrooms here grow very coquettishly, they are crowded together, the upper part of the white fungus is surrounded by a ring of fungus, and there is a bright red umbrella on the top of the head, and white scales are scattered on the umbrella surface.Because the color is bright, the red and white color contrast is really beautiful, like a strawberry cake sprinkled with crushed nuts.

Many people like to say that "the brighter the color, the more dangerous it is", this is a good mantra for climbers who cannot distinguish specific types, but it is not very accurate for those who know better.Plain colored mushrooms can be poisonous, while brightly colored mushrooms can be eaten.Jennifer collected some yellow mushrooms just now, but these red mushrooms were not included in the collection.

"This is Amanita muscaria, a poisonous amanita." She said to the camera, "Amanita muscaria is the number one seed player in the mushroom world, and it is also the mushroom image that has been used most in various literary and artistic creations. When we were young The used facial cream box and the house where the little rabbit and squirrel live in the cartoon are based on it. Look, the red round umbrella and the white dots look familiar?"

Unit four Buddy pulled the camera and made a buzzing sound.

"The good looks are good, but they are poisonous. Eating Amanita muscaria can cause severe digestive tract reactions. In severe cases, it can lead to insanity, respiratory failure, and even death. In the past, the indigenous residents in some areas had hallucinations. Think of it as a fetish to communicate with the ancestors, and they spread word of mouth that after eating Amanita muscaria, they would 'go out of their bodies', dream in fairyland, and know the past and the future."

Speaking of this, she smiled slightly.

Before humans made scientific explorations of nature, the efficacy of many animals and plants could only be interpreted in a simple way.

Amanita mushrooms are found all over the world and are responsible for more than 95 percent of mushroom poisoning incidents, but they were often used in the past as a fun treat or as a sleep and pain cure.Today, many areas still retain the tradition of eating amanita, and in some ethnic groups, even only the chosen ones are eligible to take this "god-given thing".

This is so much fun.

Jennifer couldn't help but think of what she saw when she was shooting exteriors in Quebec.At that time, some people sat on wooden sleds and were pulled by sled dog teams through the icy streets, and some rode snowmobiles into towns from snow trails.When the two hunters passed each other in the street, it almost seemed to her an absurd picture worthy of a Pulitzer Prize.

Human beings understand nature in two completely different ways. In the past, they observed the impact of animals and plants on people, looking from the outside; peek outside. A variety of creatures are given long scientific names that normal people can't remember. Scientists have announced that they have achieved great results in their research, as if nature has been stripped of its mysterious coat.

This development has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that it avoids many risks of living in nature, and the disadvantage is that human beings lose their respect for nature.

She was thinking, and she was in a trance, but she heard another low voice explaining behind her.Turning around, it's not too surprising to see Anna talking to the camera while digging mushrooms.

The mushrooms that Miss White was digging looked very similar to Amanita muscaria, except that the umbrellas on top were orange-yellow.These mushrooms are very large, the lid is about as wide as a hand, and there are no scales on the surface, which looks very smooth.

Just listen to her digging up a piece of mushroom and explaining to the camera: "Audience friends, what you are seeing now is a white variant of Amanita orange-cap in North America. Amanita orange-cap is also called yellow umbrella, Caesar Mushrooms are said to be one of the favorite foods of Julius Caesar in the Roman Empire. Those who were lucky enough to eat them all said that these mushrooms are delicious and nutritious. We are lucky today, and we will be able to verify this for ourselves later.”

A white variant of the yellow umbrella?

Jennifer raised an eyebrow.

She stood up and walked behind Anna, looking at the mushrooms as if something was wrong.After wrapping it in the cuff of her coat and picking it up and observing it carefully for a few seconds, she couldn't laugh or cry.

Where is this white variant of Huangluo umbrella!

Judging from the shape of the receptacle and the cap, these mushrooms obviously look more like another kind of poisonous mushrooms known all over the world—destroying angel mushrooms.

Destroying Angel and Amanita bisporus have a strong homology, and are one of the two most poisonous mushrooms in the world—it can achieve extremely tragic damage effects with a very small amount of intake. It can be said that eating—wandering in wonderland, Take two bites to bid farewell to the world. It is genuine and innocent.

Out of the kindness of her companions, Jennifer couldn't help reminding: "This is not a yellow umbrella, it may be of the same origin as the destroying angel."

She meant well, but as expected, Anna rolled her eyes: "Why isn't this? How can you say it isn't? You're not a mushroom expert."

Jennifer remained calm: "Okay, you can eat it. But I have to remind you that even Osborne Industries can't make the antidote for this mushroom. After eating it, you have a 90.00% chance of becoming a Rocky Mountain It’s a piece of fertilizer.” She stood up straight, “But there’s nothing wrong with turning into fertilizer. In nature, the death of one animal can feed five animals, and humans are animals too.”

Anna stood up abruptly, with a gloomy face: "You called me an animal?!"

Jennifer: "..."

How does this girl's brain grow?

All right, I can't afford to provoke you, let's slip away.

She turned her head and walked out of the woods. Before taking two steps, there was the sound of thumping footsteps behind her.I saw Anna chasing up in three steps and two steps, her brows were so wrinkled that she could pinch a mosquito to death, her lips were so pursed that she could lose color, and those white mushrooms were clearly thrown on the mud behind her.

She raised her eyebrows: "Don't eat?"

Miss White became angry: "You are really annoying, do you know?"

Jennifer nodded and raised the corners of her mouth: "You're welcome. You're welcome."
