Wilderness Challenge [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

The cooked mushroom soup is full of umami and steaming hot.

Jennifer had been looking forward to it since the pot was smoking. Seeing that it was ripe, she scooped it up with a small spoon made of leaves and took a sip.

Delicious, really delicious.

Although there is no salt for seasoning, the flavor of the soup still makes people want to swallow their tongues.After taking a few mouthfuls, the pain all over my body seemed to be melted away by this warmth.

The four of them drank a large bowl of mushroom soup each, and they had the strength to go on their way after eating and drinking enough.

In the afternoon, the fifth group continued to march downstream along the river bank. They walked very hard along the way, and often climbed to high cliffs while walking, and then had to step downhill on rugged rocks.The overall terrain is getting lower and lower, and the river is gradually forking.The direction indicated by the red dot is one of the smaller branches. A group of people hurried along the river bank and finally settled down in the valley in the evening.

Jennifer went to the stream to get water.

The forest here is flat, the stream flows slowly by the edge of the forest, and the backs of fish flash past from time to time.The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the water, splashing sparkling golden light.

A beaver is swimming towards its nest, half of its body is submerged in the water, only its small head, round ears and streamlined back are exposed.Its soft fluff is wetted by the water, and it sticks to the body with the outer guard hairs, making it extraordinarily smooth.

Greedy little thing.

Such a small one, but the branch in its mouth is bigger than its whole body.

Those forks with blades are resisting the resistance, dragging a few dark lines on the water surface, like a person reaching out to grab a handful in the icing, and like a sled dog leaving long parallel lines on the ground. dents.

Chipmunks leaped from the branches across the stream, they were huge, with puffy tails like little brooms, and their fur was unusually bright.

When they were about to jump to the opposite bank, the smaller one stopped and tilted its head to look back, wondering why an unknown animal appeared in their world.

With a smile on her face, Jennifer flicked the water drops, and the chipmunk jumped away like burning its butt.

She squatted and knelt down to wash her face with water, wash her hands, and filled the mineral water bottle before getting up to pat off the dirt.

However, after dozens of steps back to the camp, the team members had already set up several convenient and practical conical huts in the forest, covered with spruce branches and leaves layer by layer, which looked very solid.

Kevin was turning a wooden pole with his head down, and Jacob was also holding a few planks to study, as if he didn't know how to drill wood to make fire, which made them lose their dignity as men.

Jennifer walked over and watched for a few minutes, shaking her head secretly.

Light smoke was constantly wafting from the wooden boards on both sides, and the fire equipment was not as good as it should be.Kevin's diversion holes were not dug properly, and the carbon chips drilled out could not be collected in time; Jacob used the wrong wood, I really don't know how he managed to find such non-combustible wood in the coniferous forest.If there is something wrong with the foundation, no matter how much smoke there is, it will be an empty joy, and this fire will not be ignited for a while.

It took her about three seconds to think about whether it would embarrass these two guys to start digging for fire now, and three seconds later, she reached out and took Kevin's mess.

So that night everyone had hot food again, thank God, everyone was happy.

***

When she got up the next morning, the fires in the several sheds were still burning. It seemed that someone got up earlier than her and added firewood in time. It should be Jacob who was the last one on duty at night.

Jennifer quietly packed her luggage, then went to wash up, and saw some flaxen-colored animals walking in the woods from a distance.

The predator approached quietly in the early morning, crouched for a while, and then left silently.

Only hungry beasts and large beasts will attack the human camp recklessly.Predators will also weigh the pros and cons. They will avoid fierce prey, and even surrender and retreat when the prey counterattacks, unwilling to take the risk of injury.

From this point of view, multi-person teaming also has the advantages of multi-person teaming, at least the pre-set benefits she agreed to have already been realized.

Sufficient sleep has made the team members get along more peacefully. Jennifer assigned everyone tasks to be completed in the morning. This time, not only Jacob and Kevin obediently followed suit, but even Anna did not talk too much tongue.

After Miss White left the camp with the bark pot, Jacob pursed his lips and said softly, "You are like our leader now, and my leader arranged everything in the same way when I was on missions."

These words made Jennifer stunned for a moment: "You help me drive away the beasts, I will take you quickly through the forest, it's fair."

In nature, the alpha wolf leads the wolf pack, and its reward is to enjoy the best food as a reward; the male lion protects the lion group, and its reward is that it can choose any female lion to mate freely; the killer whale takes care of the whale group, and its reward is Can be supported by other killer whales in old age...

And Jennifer Davis took care of these teammates, and her return was to avoid some crises and get some help in the face of attacks.

Equivalent exchange, very fair.

Jacob Rodriguez, who had never seen anyone like this in his life, was stunned by the "fairness theory."

After he realized it, he laughed dumbfounded, shook his head and said, "I was thinking too much. But Jennifer, I have seen too many soldiers with strong physiques. They are not afraid of anyone in single combat, but they often fall under the cooperation of the enemy. Super Heroes know how to form alliances, but you don't care about groups."

Jennifer raised her eyebrows: "Where did I dismiss it? I have been willing to cooperate since the first day, and I asked you on the cliff if you want to go together. I have a bad temper and no patience. My biggest wish It is to concentrate on cooperation and not to be involved in complicated emotional relationships. Talk to each other, chat, have ulterior motives, don't come here, as long as you don't point anything, even Miss White can become my satisfactory partner."

Jacob laughed. "Oh my God, you sound more like our boss now, 'You don't have to like somebody to work with', that's what he says every time he lectures a recruit."

He really understood it, and the audience who had been watching the "team building work" for a few days also understood it.

[Jenny is very business-like, and she doesn't want to get involved with the trio at all. 】

[Actually, it was Jacob who wanted to get close, but he was beaten back. He clearly said that when he walked together, he used words very politely. Now seeing Jenny being so strong, he turned his head and wanted to use "group", "friendship", " Responsibility" or something like that tied a rope around her neck. 】

【he is right.At first, I also thought it would be too impersonal not to go with the group, but I figured it out after watching the team's showy operations in other live broadcast rooms.You have never seen someone who uses his teammates as a human shield when he is in danger, or someone who is hungry and grabs food while his teammates are not paying attention. I think they are pushed to the limit and forget to live broadcast. 】

Although she couldn't see the audience's dialogue, Jennifer could somewhat guess the "grand occasion" of the second round.

After she had said those words just now, she stopped talking, and sat by the fire to repair the holes on her hiking shoes with burnt turpentine.

According to the plan, they should replenish boiling water at the camp, and then immediately set off through the forest, but Anna, who went to get water by the stream, had no intention of coming back for some reason.The three of them waited until the sun came out, but no one was seen.

It can't be a good thing.

Jennifer put on her shoes, picked up a wooden pole in the woods to make a spear, and pulled out her outdoor knife.Jacob frowned so hard that he could kill a fly, and made preparations silently.

Kevin looked at this, then at that, and asked stammeringly, "What do you think—do you think—"

This look is so pitiful that Jennifer could hardly laugh or cry: "The water source is only a little distance from the camp. If there is a wild animal attack, you will definitely hear it. Now it's nothing more than a rainy day. What are you afraid of? Pack your things."

Kevin threw the backpack behind him like an electric shock.

They walked towards the stream vigilantly together, completely unaware of what kind of scenes they would see and what kind of things they would encounter.

***

Anna White was standing on the pebble beach by the creek.

In fact, several minutes had passed since she walked all the way downstream.The bark pot was simply and roughly thrown by her on the river bank outside the camp. She had no backpack, no knife, nothing but four hard-working cameras.

The close-up No. [-] machine was directed by her to turn around, and the camera was always firmly locked on the animals in the stream——

Two bear cubs about a year old.

Just after hibernation is the time when the bear cubs are at their most noisy. They play and play in the rare spring, and roll into a ball in the cold stream from time to time.Although they are young, the unique long hair of the brown bear family is already protecting them from the heat.

Like human cubs, cubs have difficulty concentrating.

Just a moment ago they were still tickling each other with their not-so-sharp claws, imitating how a female bear fights, standing upright and waving bear paws, opening their mouths and barking, beating them in a decent way; the next moment they were being swam. Attracted by the fish, they staggered towards the middle of the stream, stumbled, and then crawled towards the shallow water while sneezing.

Documentary tracking takes years, and photographers who venture into the forest on a whim often fail to capture images of the cubs.

For Anna White, who is determined to make the Wilderness Channel bigger, every picture she takes now is a great talking point: how can there be any audience for this natural wildness, this rare little beast? Will you love it?As a survival science blogger, she will also be someone who has seen bears play around when she goes out in the future.

Miss White had by this time forgotten that her survival knowledge had been crammed in before the first round.

Whether it's luck or environmental advantages, she is one of the top [-] contestants in the first round anyway, so what's wrong with opening a channel to teach ordinary people?

Take the brown bear as an example, hasn't she memorized all the information she can find, and is still explaining to the audience, "I have to leave before the mother bear comes back"?

Thinking of what she might have achieved after the second round, she couldn't help being complacent, and her steps were a few beats slower when she was about to lift up.Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see someone on the far bank of the river waving a long stick at her.

Jennifer Davis?

Recognizing that she was the queen actress who always liked to show off her cleverness, she squinted her eyes, and was about to curl her lips to say something clever, but in the next second, she heard an extremely shrill "Anna!".

A huge force came from behind, and she flew out involuntarily.

His thinking still couldn't react, and his eyes were derailed from his body's movements, and he was still thinking about the scream just now.

Is it Kevin?

What's the matter with Kevin?

***

Kevin watched his companion get kicked away.

The group of them came down from the camp and first discovered the bark pots that had been randomly discarded by the river.Jennifer picked up her work without saying a word, as if she wasn't the one who was offended.

They then checked along the river bank and found no signs of any large animals nearby, nor blood.The faces of the two men were very ugly, and a guess jumped into their minds at the same time: Anna left by herself.

"Anna walked away by herself." Jennifer confirmed this statement, "Look ahead, there are mosses falling on the stones. How can such a complete piece of moss be found by the river? You obviously collected it from the woods last night. Mattresses in the shed. She went downstream, followed by something."

Kevin said quickly: "How do you know she didn't leave first?"

Jennifer immediately looked at him with the eyes of a fool: "Use your brain, White's luggage is all in the camp, and he didn't even take the knife. If she can cross the Rocky Mountains with bare hands, I respect her as a man."

Kevin: "..." At this moment, he felt like he was really a little stupid.

After such an episode happened, he was embarrassed to speak again for the next part of the journey, and just listened to the exchange of information between two more experienced people.

The three of them walked a hundred meters, bypassing the cover of the woods, and finally saw the figure of Anna White——she was standing by the stream watching two brown bear cubs play, and the distance between them was less than ten meters.

At this moment, Jennifer felt that the blood in her whole body was frozen.

Jacob murmured, "My God."

Kevin also knew that the situation was urgent. He opened his mouth and wanted to call people back, but was shocked by his companion's fierce eyes: "What are you doing?!"

"What am I doing?" Jennifer growled in a low voice, "Are you crazy? Usually, we want to make some noise to scare away the bears we might encounter, but now we are facing a female bear with a cub It is impossible for this brown bear to leave the cub to play alone in the forest, it must be looking for food nearby, if it makes a sound to attract it, it will be over!"

"Then what should we do?" Kevin asked bewilderedly.

Jennifer suppressed the anger in her heart, raised the wooden spear and swung it wildly.

This move worked. Anna, who was facing the stream just now, turned her head to look in this direction, but she still couldn't make a decision to move or not, and the pupils of the three people on this side constricted at the same time.

"Anna!" Kevin couldn't help screaming.

too late.

This scream scared the teals swimming freely in the stream and flew around, but the female bear who jumped out of the forest was not affected at all.It roared deafeningly, knocking a grown man to the ground like a leaf in a single blow.

It's all written in the genes, and a mother must protect her child.

What followed was a one-sided massacre.

At first Jennifer could still hear Anna's screams, but when the bear's paw fell for the second time and its sharp teeth bit her body, the creepy screams could no longer be heard, only the red The liquid flew up into the sky like a spring, and splashed thick stains on the ground.

The comment section of her live broadcast fell into the most panicked and unbelievable silence since the start of the competition.

At this moment, no audience can type.Although the 1-minute delay added cover to the picture, they were still shocked by this primitive massacre, and they all felt shuddering, sweating, and terrified.

Anna White's life ring was instantly opened, and blue fluorescent light was projected into the air. This bright color was intended to protect, but it angered the mother bear protecting the cub even more.

It attacked again, but was unsuccessful.

Judging that the wearer's life was dying, a large amount of blue matter overflowed from the ring of life. They were both liquid and gas, forming a semicircle around the body on the ground within seconds, enclosing her unbreakably.

The brown bear's attack repeatedly hit a wall, and it became so fierce that it stood up.

"Let's go." Jennifer said decisively.

She grabbed the stunned Kevin and backed away first, the latter was pulled a few steps, and then begged miserably: "Can you—can you think of a way—"

"No." Jennifer said coldly, "Do you think I will risk my life, and all of your lives, to save a person who does not know whether he is alive or dead?"

There was a cry in Kevin's voice: "She may not be dead yet, we must save her!"

Jennifer finally got really angry.She pulled out the scimitar and cut off the cuff that was held by the opponent's backhand with one knife: "It's you, not us. Go if you want, and I will never stop you. Just once, if she is not dead, the ring of life will Save her life, if she dies, you should worry about yourself."

While saying this, she retreated a long distance back, but the bad thing is that they are now in the upper air, and the female bear has nothing to do with the blue mask, and her attention is quickly attracted to the three of them.

It generally paced back and forth in place, its shoulders arched and lowered, its paws moved restlessly on the ground, and its mouth opened and closed.

Jennifer saw this attacking posture clearly, and immediately prepared for the worst.

"You all squat down, don't look into its eyes, don't make it feel threatened. Later, if it comes over, don't turn your back on it, don't run, put your bag in front of it, let it attack, protect your neck and abdomen .Remember, please, please, don't run, no one can outrun a brown bear."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kevin, who was already shaking, trembled even more.

The brown bear stood beside the blue cover and walked back and forth vigilantly. It could be seen that it was still aggressive, but the bear cub was still by its side, and it didn't want to chase it from afar.It fell into hesitation, and suddenly raised its neck to smell the breath in the air, and then seemed to have made up its mind.

Someone once said that beasts can smell fear. Jennifer didn't take it seriously at the time, but now she believes it.

No one moved, no one provoked, but the brown bear, tens of meters away, left Anna behind, its huge body stood up and then fell down, roaring loudly at the humans who broke into its territory.

Then, this gigantic beast weighing several hundred kilograms rushed towards here unstoppably like a boulder rolling down from the top of a mountain. Its fur undulated in the air with the movement of its muscles, and its sharp teeth could be seen from a long distance away. Thick reflective.

It came in the direction of Jennifer, somewhere, maybe this beast sensed a threat, and it wanted to eliminate this threat.

It's really besieged!

Juli threw Jennifer, who was in a defensive posture, to the ground, and the arm protecting her face was snapped off by the bear's paw, making a crisp sound.She pushed back with her backpack and stabbed the she-bear's neck with a backhand knife - the sharp outdoor knife didn't even do any serious damage!

The brown bear suffered from the pain and roared more and more manically. It bit the backpack and tore it apart. It was about to launch a new round of attacks, but suddenly there was a strange pause.

Jennifer dared to turn her head to look—Jacob had dropped a huge branch on the female bear, and it was moving its eyes back and forth, as if evaluating which intruder should be taught a deep lesson first.

At this moment, Kevin's life ring suddenly lit up.

The big boy himself pressed the life-saving measures, but he was completely frozen in place, unable to even move.

Familiar, annoying, blue fluorescent.

The brown bear lunged sideways.

"Kevin, squat down!" Jennifer yelled.

Her voice was like lightning splitting through the clear sky, instantly shattering the condensed fear in the air.

This is probably the bravest thing Kevin Wilson has ever done in his life——

Facing a berserk brown bear, he closed his eyes, bit his lips, his legs shook like chaff, squatted down suddenly, and curled up with his head in his hands.Oversized mountain backpacks arched over the body like tortoise shells are a ready target.

The female bear's paw slapped fiercely on the side of the backpack, and the scratched arm underneath was bloody and bloody.

Kevin's whole body was slapped down horizontally.

He still remembered what he heard just now, and he wanted to hold his head tightly with one hand, curling up like a shrimp.Behind him, the brown bear opened its bloody mouth and bit the backpack, stretched its neck and tore it hard towards its hind legs. The strong neck was like a rolling stone wrapped in flesh, and the sound of tearing was constantly ringing from every corner of the mountain bag.

For a moment, Jennifer thought that even if she was given another chance, the outdoor knife might not be able to penetrate a few inches under such a defense.

The power of man is really nothing compared to the power of beasts.

She sighed and curled up her body, her whole head was tucked under the bulging backpack.

After a short while, the blue light flourished, and Kevin's ring of life also covered the light by the river.The two blue light masks confused the female bear. Panting heavily, she paced back and forth, scratching the stones on the river bank with her fingers and claws.

Jennifer let the smelly saliva from its mouth fall from the top of its head, dripping and dripping wet the side of its face.She didn't dare to move, didn't dare to look at each other, and didn't dare to breathe hard.

I don't know how long it took until the two cubs lost their patience and ran downstream before the mother bear stopped the attack.With a final growl, it shuffled away until it disappeared completely in the depths of the forest.

Jennifer was supported by Jacob and forced to sit up. She touched the wound and felt the blood on her hand.

The encounter was tragic.

Jacob was the only one in the crowd who was still intact.She herself was lucky, but her left arm was broken, and her shoulders, thighs and back were lifted by the bear's claws.

Kevin in the blue mask was lying on the ground, dripping with tears, tears, snot and blood mixed together on his face, his arms that were not healed were bloody, his calf was bitten, and one ear was missing. fly.

The injuries were serious, but compared to Anna, who was fatally hit when she came up, at least they were still alive.

Jennifer was relieved.

That's when she felt the pain.
