It took a lot of effort to skin the camel.

Half of the unlucky guy's body was in the quicksand, and he couldn't pull it out if he pulled it out hard. If he had to borrow strength from his body, he might be completely pushed into the sand pit.Jennifer had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​peeling off the leather intact, and instead used a blown-off outdoor knife to cut along the fascia downwards to ensure the integrity of the leather to the greatest extent.

There are advantages and disadvantages of the knife being too sharp. The advantage is that you don't have to press the flesh hard like killing a pig to enter the knife. The disadvantage is that she has to concentrate on doing a series of actions.Even so, there are still small holes in the last few large pieces of leather that were cut out.

After skinning, Jennifer stared at the camel's belly.

The intestines of herbivores are always longer than those of carnivores. The intestines of cows and horses can reach 500 times the body length, while the intestines of goats can reach [-] times the body length, so there is a saying in the East that "the intestines of sheep" , tortuous and long.It is said that the intestines of a blue whale can be as long as [-] meters. Jennifer has never seen a blue whale, but the intestines she pulled out can be called endless.

Along with the discharge of the intestines, there was also a stomach that had been accidentally punctured, and the undigested hay and cactus inside were emitting a touching stench.If there is a shortage of water now, Jennifer will probably consider collecting the fresh water in the camel's stomach and the water in the hay dregs and boil it for drinking, but she is not short of water for the time being, and the water has other functions.

As for why it is boiled, the reason is like camel meat.

"The venomous snake's toxin is protein, which works by entering the blood circulation of the prey. In theory, as long as the digestive tract is not damaged, people can eat the toxin-laden meat or drink the toxin-laden blood; in theory, the toxin-laden things are completely cooked. After opening, the protein will be inactivated."

Jennifer was chatting with Unit [-] as she pulled a big hunk of guts onto solid shore.She cut off the head and tail, cut it open in the middle, cleaned it up, and hastily washed the intestines with the water from the camel's stomach, thinking that she would never smell worse than this in her life.

"What's the point? By the way, in theory. The latter of these two theories is more reliable, and the former one is fine. Who knows what will happen in practice. Survivors are not internal vision devices, so there is no guarantee." Such a long digestive tract is completely intact. Others can’t, and I can’t, everyone in Hollywood has some occupational diseases, and the actors together can probably support several stomach medicine companies.”

The narrators smiled generously.

Jennifer continued to drag her stomach back, spread it out on the sand under the hot sun, and then wiped the liquid off her hands with hot sand.

The surrounding temperature is getting higher and higher, and the labor keeps dripping sweat on her forehead, and she dare not wipe it with her hands.

There are no open wounds on the arms and palms, so even a little bit of toxin is not a big problem, but the forehead accidentally fell out of a wound two nights ago, it would be ridiculous if the gutter capsized.A tiny bit of toxin is unlikely to be life threatening, but the few possible reactions are annoying enough.

The next step is to wait.

Jennifer covered her eyes with her palms and looked at the rising sun, before deciding to set up a tent on the sand in the distance to rest.It is impossible for any animal to dare to run on the sand at noon. The high temperature is not only a form of protection, but also can dry the camel intestines and inactivate the toxins left on them.

She can skip the camel's water, but she has to risk removing the intestines and waiting here for them to be processed.

The three-humped camels shared the burden of the camel team. Now that one of them died, the water and food it carried had to be shared by the other two.Originally, this was fine, but the camel would work harder, but Jennifer inevitably used trekking poles and knives when taking the load out of the quicksand.

The program team was given climbing ropes for the first two rounds, but nothing was given for this round. Now they have to re-tie the load to the camel's back, so they have to make their own ropes.

The best ropes that survivors can get in the wild are plant vines, bark fibers, and animal intestines. Sheep intestines can withstand more than 10 pounds of pulling force, and camel intestines are no less capable. Used as a fishing line.

Jennifer had everything planned and went to the distance to set up the tent.Then the second tent was pressed down with a load, and part of it was opened, so that the remaining two camels could have a small shade to avoid the scorching sun at noon.These behemoths are still enjoying themselves under the high temperature of tens of degrees, as if the sand noodles do not burn their feet at all, and they can even kneel and chew on them obediently.

Chinese food is strips of meat fresh off the humpback.

The outdoor knife cuts deep along the back, separating flesh and bone as easily as cutting butter, only its owner is not easy.Jennifer had to put on a very thrilling pose to reach her back, stretching her arms on tiptoe and almost missing the orchid finger.

"Look at this part," she said, laboriously cutting. "The slowest part of an animal's decay after death is the part of the back. When you're out in the wild and you really have no choice but to eat a carcass -- mind you, it's The carcass of an animal that hasn't rotted very well, you can choose to eat this part. If it is freshly killed prey, don't miss their heart."

The heart of this camel is probably full of snake venom, think about it or forget it.

There were several cut pieces of meat, most of which were directly thrown on the sandy ground for preliminary treatment under high temperature, and a small piece was picked out and grilled on the fire.It took her a lot of effort to light this fire, and there weren't many combustibles nearby, so the cotton wadding removed from the load was used as tinder in the end.

For the sake of humanitarianism - camel humanitarian considerations, Jennifer returned to the tent after torturing and eating meat by the sandpit, and did not intend to eat their kind in front of the camels.But most likely the animals don't know what's going on.Cannibalism is considered a crime for humans, but it is commonplace for animals.

Hyenas will eat their own carcasses, golden eagles will eat their eggs, and adult polar bears will hunt their cubs.The most pitiful thing is that scientific research shows that polar bears do not have a clear territory like brown bears, so they sometimes eat cubs because they cannot determine blood relationship.Probably because there are too many old kings, the male polar bears always feel that their heads are emitting green light.

The meal was very comfortable, and after eating, Jennifer returned to the tent area to rest.She tied homemade bells to both camels before going to bed, and the reins were tied tightly together so that if they tried to escape, they might stumble on each other's heels.

Fortunately, it was too peaceful in the end.

When she woke up, the outside gut didn't look too dry, but it was barely usable, and it didn't smell so horrible anymore.Jennifer rolled up the fur and tied it, and tied most of the water bladder and dry food rucksack together, and hung it on the Bactrian camel.Tents, other sundries and a small number of water bladders are hung on the back of the white camel.

On the evening of the 41st day of the race, the small camel team that had recharged their batteries set off on the journey again.

Due to the increased load, Jennifer did not ride the white camel from this day on, but walked on the sand dunes with her body, exploring the way with her body.

During the period, she also encountered snakes and poisonous insects ambushing in the sand, and the thick camel skin came in handy at this time. She tore off part of the outer skin of the second tent, and sandwiched it with a double layer of fur. The middle is made into a protective gear, which is clamped on the calf and fastened with catgut.The hiking boots were also rolled up with leather shoe covers, not only making it easier to walk on the sandy surface, but also ordinary poisons could not penetrate such tight protection.

Just walking all the way to drive away the wild animals, after about two weeks, the camel team finally arrived at the final destination.

Paradise on earth - Lake Chad.

It's not the case when it comes to the lakeside. The first thing Jennifer noticed was the change in the sand under her feet.From soft sand to gravel, and then to semi-desert, there are more and more bushes and sparse trees, and there are more and more resources for people to use and green plants for camels to eat. The camels have been bred to be fat and strong, and they don't look so poor.

Terrain shifts, and with it, species increases.

In the past few days, Jennifer's camera has hardly stopped, birds in the sky, insects on the ground, migrating sheep, jackals hunting sheep, and one day she seemed to see the legendary endangered animal - the Saharan cheetah, but that The yellow dots only flashed in the distance, and even the high technology produced by Stark only captured a blur of light and shadow, and what the No. confirm.

Even so, the zoologists behaved like Chinese New Year. If it wasn't for the confidentiality clause of the program group, they would have asked for the location on the spot, so they could grab their cameras and go to the "battlefield" to photograph endangered animals.

Lake Chad is an extremely wide body of water, and water birds can be seen flying above it from a distance.The area where Jennifer is located is a savannah by the lake, and she excitedly took out her camera and started shooting.

The progress of the task can be described as rapid progress. By the time Jennifer and the camel team actually walked to the water, the completion degree displayed by the No. 43 machine had changed from 91 to [-].

It stands to reason that she can directly declare victory after staying for two more days, but after finally walking to Lake Chad and getting rid of the hellish Sahara, one must see more beautiful scenery to comfort the hard struggle of the previous period.

Now that it is the prosperous rainy season, Jennifer took a lot of precious images of the lake area while walking with the camels, feasting the eyes of the audience on the other side of the screen.

The only thing that is worrying, and the commentators have repeatedly mentioned in the live broadcast room, is that every photo she takes now may become a swan song in the next half century.

Lake Chad had an area of ​​more than 2.2 square kilometers at the beginning of the 21th century, but in the 2000st century, the area has been reduced to 90 square kilometers, a full reduction of [-]%.It is a blue pearl in the desert, a paradise for animals, and a paradise for aborigines, but now this paradise is crazily decaying.

The arid climate combined with the horrible evaporation rate, desertification and soil erosion basically hurt the foundation of this land. This is definitely not something that can be solved by letting Thor come to thunder or Neptune come to sprinkle water.

Jennifer felt sorry.

Everyone will say that protecting nature, and most people really want to do it, but where do we start?Is it necessary to move out all the residents who live nearby?So are they still alive?From this point of view, as long as human civilization exists for a day without relying on the mighty power of nature, the decadent situation cannot be reversed at all.

No wonder the earth was furious in the previous life, and it was difficult not to get angry every day when someone was wreaking havoc on it.

But to put it bluntly speaking, the earth in the previous life was miserable enough, and the earth in this life can be even worse. If the universe had a travel guidebook, this planet would probably be marked as a 5A-level unlucky scenic spot, and new races would appear every now and then. The aliens launched a war, and a lot of energy has been accumulated in a small land. It's fine if they don't blow up the entire planet to the sky.

Thinking of this, Jennifer squatted down and touched the ground under her feet.

At the moment when the palm touched the ground, whether it was an illusion or something, the whisper when she met the white moose earlier called her again.

It was a deep foresight, a wild revelation—she must walk through these majestic corners of the earth, step over mountains and rivers, cross wild sands, climb to the top of mountains, dive into the deep sea, and nature will welcome her with open arms , This time, it is not overlooking from a high altitude, but rooted in the earth and growing, skin touches skin, heart echoes heart, a tiny fire is burning there.

For a moment she allowed herself to sink into this greater will.

The land doesn't lack residents, what it needs is a protector.

Jennifer stood up quietly, shook off the floating soil in her palm, and led the white camel towards the small village in the distance.
