Wilderness Challenge [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

The shade of the acacia tree is not too wide, but it is almost enough for a survivor.

The snake body of the rattlesnake was still lying limply on the ground, with blood gurgling from the cut on its neck.Jennifer stared at the flowing liquid for a while—an uncommon sight in the desert—and finally decided not to risk drinking snake blood.

There is some fresh water in her backpack, which is not exhausted.Snake blood, like the digestive system of snakes, contains a large number of bacteria, which may cause irreparable damage to the human body when the resistance is weakened.In addition, although drinking animal blood can temporarily satisfy thirst, but because the blood contains salt, it will cause dehydration from the inside in the long run, and the gain outweighs the gain.

Thinking of this, Jennifer stopped her habitual wiping action.She opened the water bottle and took a small sip, filled her mouth with fresh water to moisten her dry lips and mouth, and began to process the snake meat with her hands.

This time the program team sent out a saber-shaped outdoor knife, which is slightly thicker than the first round of knives, and the sharpness is almost the same.Put your finger on the tip of the knife and draw a strip along the belly to prevent accidentally puncturing the internal organs.

Jennifer skillfully sloughed out all the internal organs together with the snake skin and cut them off with a knife, leaving only the edible part.Immediately, they took some small wooden sticks and spread out the snake meat, forked them in a cross shape, and put them together with the skinks in the sun.

Nomads in the desert often use this time-saving and labor-saving cooking method. Sometimes they don't even dry their prey in situ, but string them on wooden poles as walking sticks or carry them with camel teams.When they walked leisurely through several sand dunes, the high temperature and wind would dry the prey without delaying their journey.

However, jerky is a daily food for nomads, but it can only be used as a reserve food for Jennifer.Her intention was to eat a little skink to refresh herself, and she had no plan to eat the snake.

Protein, sugar, fat, among these substances that supply human energy, the digestion of protein requires the most water consumption, which is why some old people always warn tourists not to eat too much in the desert.The fresh water reserves brought by the contestants are only enough to support extreme consumption for a day or two. The more they eat, the worse the water shortage in the body will be, and it may even be worse than starving.

Jennifer dried the snake meat, and buried the unnecessary parts in the soil, preparing to build a temporary camp for herself to rest.

The acacias are a little wilted, and the branches and leaves grow unevenly, leaving a lot of gaps between them. The poisonous sunlight can shine on people's bodies along these gaps.

In order to prevent local burns while sleeping, Jennifer took off the long scarf and hung it as a sunshade.

It is said to be a long turban, but it is actually more like a cloak that can cover the whole body.Almost everyone in the desert has one piece of this kind of clothing. It can not only protect the head and effectively prevent heat stroke, but also can be spread out to cover the whole body when necessary to prevent the skin from being sunburned.

The program group gave the long turban and the magic turban, obviously they have their own considerations.

Jennifer originally planned to make good use of the magic turban. Just now, she thought about moistening it with snake blood to enhance heat dissipation and further cool down her head, but she was a little worried about attracting other things, so she finally gave up.

Closer to home, colorful long scarves and trekking poles came in handy.One side of the turban is stuck between the branches, and the other end is fixed with a metal rod, making a leaning posture.She picked up some stones to press down the corners so that the wind would not blow the whole scarf away.In this way, the shadow cast by the acacia becomes much more solid. Sitting in this shadow, one can clearly feel the temperature which is very different from that in the sand sea outside.

The amazing thing about the great desert is that no matter how hot the sand is during the day, it will still cool down quickly at night, even making people feel cold.This feature is also reflected in the temperature of the sand on the surface. The uppermost layer of fine sand can exceed 50°C. The further you dig down, the lower the temperature of the sand, and sometimes water can be dug out.

Based on this, Jennifer tossed a groove for herself with stones.

The weather was so hot that people didn't want to move. She lay in the dug hole, and she didn't do any extra movements except to add some water to her mouth every short time.

To survive in the desert, you must reduce sweating, not drinking water. Jennifer knows this very well, but after all, this body is not the body that has been tempered and tempered in the previous life. It has already started to send out ominous signals just now.

Slight dizziness, dizziness, and weakness are all understandable phenomena. What really worries her is that after drinking enough water in the morning, so far this body has no sense of meeting physiological needs.

This is a bad sign.

In an extremely dry and hot environment, when the human body is experiencing dehydration, the blood concentration will rise in a straight line, and when it reaches a certain level, it will stop excreting, and then the kidneys will gradually weaken, and the blood circulating in the body will become a toxin, causing people to go into shock. Seizures, which can eventually lead to coma and death.

Jennifer managed to calm herself down, but ended up getting some fresh water.

Knowing that planning is necessary, over-calculation is unnecessary. Many survivors actually have fresh water when they are found dead, but they just don’t realize the signal from the body. Before they can take in water, the balance in the body will collapse. up.She didn't want to be the next victim.

Cool water flows down the throat and into the stomach, greatly relieving the pain of dryness.

Jennifer lay on the ground, leaning against the tree roots, and soon fell asleep.

She stopped still, but the audience on the other side were still worried.They stared at Jiugongge one by one, watching their beloved players suffer unprecedented struggles.

In the first round of the ocean environment, through the bright colors of the signal flares and lifeboats, many contestants were rescued by passing ships; in the second round of the mountain environment, some contestants also received help from indigenous residents and adventure tourists, but it was an island and mountains.

In the Sahara Desert?Come on.

If any player expects to meet passing tourists in the Sahara, it is simply a dream.If they are lucky enough to become God's illegitimate children, they may encounter some nomads living in the desert and escape from it.But before that, all players have to be prepared to decay and sink in the desert alone.

The ancient desert nomads, Berbers and Bedouins, all have the habit of resting at noon and traveling at night.For them, a shady resting place is the best time to replenish their physical strength. When the sun sets in the afternoon, the temperature of the entire desert will drop, and it will not be too late to go on by then.

The 400 contestants almost all followed this rule, looking for a refuge like chickens without a head, and none of them dared to confront the hellish Sahara head-on.They need to conserve every ounce of energy, so shortly after the game starts, there is very little talking in all the broadcast rooms.

The program team realized that the contestants are consciously reducing the number of times they communicate with the audience. Originally, they only set up commentary on the general channel, but now they have expanded the commentary team on a large scale, temporarily inviting some experts who are well-known around the world to fight the fire.

They put the most popular contestant in the middle, supplemented by the other eight contestants, and redefined the Jiugongge area that was pushed one after another on the homepage.

Jennifer is already the last only seedling among the invited contestants, that is to say, the bonus that should have been shared by more than a dozen people is now all piled up on her alone.Besides, the difficulty of this round has increased sharply. Without a team and no competition, the popularity of a single player will come out.

Assigned to her official Jiugongge live broadcast room are two well-known survival experts-Bear Grylls and Les Stroud.

They are both deeply loved by the audience. The former is a British explorer and host of the "Wilderness" series; the latter is a Canadian survival expert and host of the long-time critically acclaimed "Modern Robinson Robinson".

After the program group expanded its commentary team, the ratings of the live broadcast of the entire "Wild Challenge" suddenly rose again.

Here, Bell is evaluating the players. "Smart move." He praised, "Many survivors will be caught by the current situation of shortage of fresh water resources, and make a move in a hurry, but instead push themselves into a deeper abyss. I remember that a few years ago—— "

Before he can unleash the proverbial "Bay taunt," the quiet Rice interrupts just in time to prevent some explorers from being publicly executed in front of the world.

"That's right," he echoed. "I've been to the Sonoran Desert, and desert terrain is one of the types of terrain I hate the most. It creates a lot of uncertainty for a survival show. If it weren't for the protection of the ring of life, I'm sure Human rights organizations have to write letters to the program crew."

A deadpan joke.

As an Englishman who has a good reception for bad jokes, Bell laughed very convincingly.

These experts will soon find that watching other people struggle in the wild is far more weird than struggling in the wild. They must praise the correct moves of the players in time, and point out the wrong moves of the players in time to educate the audience about reasonable practices. .It's certainly harder to pay attention to others than to do it yourself, not to mention that "Into the Wild" is very special.

There were accidental fatalities in the first two rounds of it. This is a scene that is difficult to see in other programs. While seeing the wrong decisions of the players, the expert team may also be witnessing that they are on the verge of life and death. torment.

Jennifer has fallen asleep, and there is nothing to see here, so the two commentators turned their attention to other grids.

Some contestants are still walking with their headscarves on at the moment, as if they are trying to take risks and rush to the mountain as soon as possible; It was the contestant in the lower right corner. He seemed to have fought a poisonous scorpion, and he was sitting down on the ground trying to cut open the wound and release the poison.

Bell and Rice made a sound of emotion at the same time.

"Don't do this," Bell said, pointing to the incision on the screen. "Cutting the wound when bitten by a poisonous snake or scorpion actually accelerates the venom into the blood circulation. The best way is to let the blood flow for a while." , don’t stop the bleeding quickly, this will bring out some of the toxins, then reduce your actions and wait for rescue.”

"Fortunately, he has been rescued." Rice pointed to his wrist.

The ring of life has been lit up, which means that the support team from the nearby base camp will come to assist in less than 5 minutes. The players who were destined to lose their lives have been saved, thanks to modern technology.

The desert hundreds of kilometers away was flying like dogs and dogs, but Jennifer slept in a dark sleep.When I woke up, I felt sticky, but the dizziness eased, and my body temperature seemed to drop.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but the sun was now low enough to continue on.

There are endless sand dunes in all directions, and there is really no trace of any barren valley.She estimated in her heart for a moment, packed her things, added some water again, and decided to head southeast.

The temperature in the evening is very suitable for traveling. You can almost feel the heat from the sand under your feet, and the wind blowing is slightly cold.

After the sun goes down, the coolness becomes more obvious.

The moon rises from behind a sand dune. People who live in the city all year round don't know how bright the moon in the desert can be.It brightly illuminates a radius of tens of meters, and can even pull out the shadows of pedestrians.

The hosts have already left work, and there is a successor night commentary explaining to the few players who started the event.In their view, some of these people are really smart people who know what they are doing;

The night in the desert is a good opportunity for pedestrians to drive, but this good opportunity is based on the threat to life.

Jennifer is naturally discerning. She points the trekking poles in front of her at all times to explore the road, and kicks the stones and gravel loudly when she walks, hoping that the nearby reptiles will sense her patronage and leave the route ahead of time.

The stars in the sky are very bright. First the Big Dipper, and then follow the handle of the spoon to find the North Star. Caravans many years ago used this technique to ensure that they would not get lost.

The wind at night was a bit cool, and Jennifer wrapped her headscarf tightly, and walked alone in the desert with her back to the dazzling North Star.

She set herself a few achievable small goals, for example, rushing to the big sand dunes in the distance before the sun rises tomorrow.
