Wilderness Challenge [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

From ancient times to the present, people like to boast about the power of will, but Jennifer thinks that will power is a complete false proposition.

If a person's life is compared to a wheel that keeps rolling forward, then there is actually only one thing behind the wheel—want.

Some people want something so small that a meal of fried chicken or a concert can satisfy them; some people want something so big that it would drag down the entire race and the whole world Give them stepping stones.

Ordinary people want to rise to the top and have a beautiful family; actors want to be famous and honored; super criminals want to create chaos and prove ideas; superheroes want to protect the world and uphold justice.

This is "want".

Living is also a kind of "want".

When a person is content to go with the situation, it is not because his willpower is too weak, but because he wants too little.When a person struggles to survive by drinking urine and eating feces, it is not because of too much willpower, but because he wants to live.

How strong the desire you want is how willing, active, and persistent you pay for it, and this is uniformly named "will" by people, covering up the essence behind it.

Willpower is a false proposition, a glamorous and beautiful body, it exists based on desire, it can never appear alone, and it can never be exercised - "hardening the will" is ridiculous.

Only when people have what they "want" will they withstand the pressure of the external environment, physical and psychological pain, go up the mountain of swords, and go down into the sea of ​​fire.

Jennifer is no exception.

No matter how much the audience praises her "strong will", she is just gritting her teeth for her own life and to win this game.

The props left by the two retired team members came in handy. Their soft underwear was cut open, and their backpacks were also disassembled into eight pieces, which were used to pressurize the wound on the thigh and add cushion to the broken arm things.

Jennifer tidied up the wound while inhaling, then stood up tremblingly with the support of the branch, trying to land her right leg on the ground.

No, it can't be done.

As soon as the soles of her feet touched the ground, her facial expression twisted for a moment.

Jacob was on the sidelines knowingly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to leave with your appearance, let's rest here for a long time before we talk about it."

Hearing his persuasion, Jennifer endured the pain and walked two more steps, and had to admit that half of her right leg was almost useless.

She touched the skin on the outside of the wound, and felt that the whole leg was hot, swollen and painful with the heartbeat, and the tentacles were as hot as a fire, and there was an ominous atmosphere.

I really can't go.

She finally pursed her lips: "Even if you want to build a camp, you can't do it here. This river bank is full of the scent of us, and the animals in the forest are likely to find it. It's best to go to a place where the downwind is sheltered from the wind."

In this way, the wind will not spread the bloody smell too far, and the safety is a little bit safer.

Jacob nodded: "Come on, I'll support you."

They moved slowly downwind, their luggage on the backs of the undamaged men.

When walking halfway, Jennifer suddenly looked at the edge of the forest behind, and saw a brown shadow flashing past there like a gust of wind, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the woods.

"I always felt like something was following us," she said.

"I feel the same way." Jacob said worriedly, "There are too many wild beasts in this forest, and your injuries are so serious. After you find a shelter, you can rest first. I'll make a raft and set off in the afternoon. As long as you If I can hold on to the raft, I can definitely walk on the raft."

Rafting is the best option right now.

They both knew that an open wound could easily cause infection if soaked in water, but they tacitly didn't mention this to each other.

It would take at least two or three days for Jennifer's leg to get rid of the danger of breaking at any time, but now it was the ninth day of the competition, there was no time to waste, and the risk was worth it.

When she arrived at the camp, she found some poplar bark and boiled water to reduce fever and relieve pain, and regularly replaced the bandaged plants on the wound to stop bleeding.This is a two-pronged approach, both inside and outside, and then use bark and turpentine to insulate the water, and fasten the assault clothes and pants as the second line of defense. Barely is better than nothing.

I have done everything that can be done, whether it will be infected depends on God's arrangement.

She sighed softly.

The two walked about a hundred steps toward the downstream woods, found a shelter in the lee of the woods by the river and set up camp on the spot, collected materials, closed their eyes and rested their minds.

A few hours later, when Jennifer opened her eyes again, she saw some berries lying on the ground beside her, wooden poles and planks were thrown in a mess, and Jacob was blowing violently on a handful of dried bark.

The bark nest gave him some heat hesitantly, and then reluctantly lit a cluster of small sparks.

Become!

Rare and rare, Jacob is simply beaming with joy.

Jennifer raised her eyelids to look at him amusedly, then unwrapped the straps wrapped around her legs, and uncovered the plant residues to look at.

The blood oozing from the wound on the leg has become much less, and the edge is a little white due to blood loss, and the intact skin near the cut is still hot.

She frowned, but said half-jokingly: "I probably smell like a Beast donut now, and they can smell blood from tens of kilometers away."

Jacob nodded seriously, "So donut lady, would you like to have some berries first, so we can go on our way?"

Finished the raft so quickly?

Jennifer was suspicious.

After they finished burning the water they needed to carry and walked to the bank of the river, she felt that her premonition had come true—there was a raft lying on the edge of the water, which was said to be simple but to lift it.

The rollers that make up the raft body are different in size, and the gap in the middle can reach into the palm of a person. There is a large gap between the fixed cross bars on both sides and the raft body, which can only be seen by the leather rope they brought. It is more reliable.

This was the normal level of Mr. Rodriguez she had seen before, but at this moment, it looked like the world-famous "Bebe Sink" of the famous survival expert Bear Grylls.

It can be used, it is easy to use, but it must sink.

Jennifer shed tears of sadness for the Robbie sink.

She took back the turpentine she was going to paste the boat in without making a sound, pretending that she didn't intend to fill the gap with it.

The few pieces of pine resin packed on the bark had been burned, and she didn't waste it, but directly pasted these materials with excellent sealing effect on some not too deep wounds before setting off.

Pine resin is originally secreted by pine trees to heal the wounds on the surface of the bark. It is a good material for first aid for survivors.

The arrangement between Luthor and the program group has to be said to make sense.

Food, drink, shelter, including raw materials for wound treatment, combat preparations, and even advanced skills such as spinning and weaving, as long as you know where to look for them, the forest is like an open treasure house.

The first round is the marine environment, as long as you survive the rafting and go to the island, simply inspect people’s fixed-point survival skills, and don’t need to worry too much about the threat of large beasts; Mobile survival skills in the wild and the ability to survive in the face of wild animals.

Not sure what the third round will be, Jennifer thought silently.

She rewrapped the wound, put on Anna's still intact pants over her own pants, tied up the trouser legs, and then used two pieces of clothing as plastic bags to cover her feet, and also tied them tightly.

After doing this, she stood up from the ground with the wooden stick and moved to the raft.Jacob pushed the raft into the water—it sank instantly—and propped himself on long sticks.

This section is not too deep, and the raft's tail sinks more than half a meter to touch the river bed, and the water flow is very slow.

The cold river water wrapped half of Jennifer's body, and she seemed to be sitting in the water.The preparations were done well, the water hadn't seeped into the trouser legs for the time being, but it stuck to the clothes and made her feel the pleasure of icing, at least for the first few minutes it was very comfortable.

Jacob looked back at her as he punted on the boat and asked, "Are you okay?"

Jennifer replied, "It's still alive."

***

This "alive" Flag has been erected from the river to the evening camp, and from the evening camp to the next morning.

This is the tenth day of the race, and through the feedback of the camera group, the number of survivors has dropped to 712, and the number of people who have reached the finish line has risen to 21.

When Jennifer saw this string of numbers, she hoped that she could also meet the Indians who lived and hunted in the nearby mountains for generations. She even saw some strange hallucinations. A group of Indians received them kindly and then boarded the traditional cedar boat Take them to the end of the track.

Luck is always illusory, and reality always hits head-on.

The hallucinations flashed back and forth, and she felt a little dazed, so she quickly shook her head and checked the wound again.

Not so good.

Leaving aside the injuries on the back, the broken arm was already swollen to the point of disfigurement, and the skin was stretched purple and translucent. It was pressed against the wooden sticks and laces used for fixing it, and it was excruciatingly painful.

Legs were also swollen.She hadn't tightened the bandage that was supposed to be a bandage when she went to bed last night, but today she almost couldn't untie it.When he untied the belt and took a look at the medicinal herb, the black and green color of the plant was printed near the wound, and some white mucus was still slowly overflowing from the black and green.

Jennifer observed carefully and found that the mucus was neither abscess nor plant fluid.

She didn't know whether this meant the injury was improving or changing, so she could only reluctantly change the dressing, praying silently in her heart not to get infected in the past two days.

Jacob turned on the flame and put the mineral water bottle on the edge of the fire to boil the water, "How is it?"

Jennifer shook her head: "I don't think it looks very good, but it's not to the point where I can't hold on."

Jacob: "That's good. According to this progress, we can complete the task. If we persevere, don't give up."

There are only 21 people who have reached the finish line now, and there is still plenty of room for the 400 to enter the next round. The forest is dangerous, and the fifth group is definitely not the only one that is in trouble.

Jennifer knew, but she had other things on her mind, so she said it together: "We need to find some time to hunt, Jacob. I can't eat early berries to keep my wound from getting worse, and neither can you." That's what keeps you strong enough to row. The woods are full of small mammals and it's a great place to hunt."

Jacob agreed with her, and asked again: "You want to catch squirrels? I remember you were good at throwing spears."

"Throwing a spear can indeed kill squirrels, but not now." Jennifer smiled wryly. "Throwing depends not on the strength of your hands, but the strength of your waist and abdomen. I was injured like this, and you are not very proficient in catching small animals. If you If we want to eat meat today, we have to be tricky."

To be clever is to make a trap.

Squirrel traps are actually quite simple.

One way is to place a stick obliquely under the pine tree to make a new way for the squirrel to descend the tree, and then set a rope loop for the neck above the stick.Another way is to place bait and set up cages on the ground and catch them like birds.

In the camp of survival experts, both approaches have their fans.They decided to use both to see if any squirrels would take the bait.

While waiting for the trap to work, Jacob took the sharpened wood to the river to try his luck, while Jennifer sat back and repaired the soles of her hiking boots that had cracked again.

The wind in the woods brings strange messages.

She raised her lowered head abruptly, and her hands stopped moving—something was rustling behind a few big trees, as if spying on the human camp.

She saw a strange animal near the camp yesterday morning. This big guy is very smart, and it doesn't want to fight with four people.In the wild, dogfighting damage means they may lose a fight with their own species, lose their territory, and sometimes even their life.

Predators are very cunning, unlike some single-minded animals who have to fight until the last second.But giving up yesterday does not mean giving up today. Seeing that the number of human beings is halved, it is very likely to make a comeback.

Jennifer puts her shoes on discreetly and grabs her outdoor knife.She can't move now, and she is not suitable for using a spear. This kind of weapon can only be used at a long distance, and it is not suitable for close combat.

Staring at the woods, slowly, the uninvited guest appeared from behind a tree.

It is gray and black, with silver-gray thorns all over its body, protruding its head, small and cute, just a porcupine who is curious about the human camp.

Jennifer was relieved.

Feeling that she was too alert, she smiled and shook her head.But before the corners of his mouth were completely raised, the smile froze——

A familiar brown is crouching quietly under another big tree.

With a streamlined figure and a round head, he is just a puma eager to try!
