Wilderness Challenge [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

Most of the people living in the small village on the northwest shore of Lake Chad are Tuagre people, and there are also a few families of Hausa people from the north. This kind of mixed living situation is very rare in nomadic settlements.Most of the Hausa people speak Hausa, and a few can speak French and Arabic, which is not a language barrier for Jennifer.

She observed this village before walking here. Compared with the oasis tribe, the nomads in this small village rely more on farming. There are a lot of date palm trees outside the settlement, and their camels are all fat and strong. Unlike the type that walks in the desert all year round.

The white camels and Bactrian camels were tethered tens of meters away from the camel herd, and they were finally able to eat grass and water without caring about the mistress who gradually cultivated a tacit understanding.

Jennifer followed the women to a room in the village and sat down. They offered her water, dates, and a kind of dry cake, and they seemed very hospitable.No one took out a gun or other weapons, and no one was as rude as the people of the Oasis tribe, but Jennifer, who is good at perceiving people's hearts, still saw the fear hidden in the eyes of these villagers.

They exchanged gossip, and seemed incredulous that she had crossed half the Sahara alone.

"I followed Manuel's caravan and was blown away by the black storm." Jennifer said.

"Ah, Manuel." They suddenly realized and exchanged a few glances.

After sacrificing this name, the attitude of the villagers softened visibly, and the topic turned to what she was interested in.

The women said that their home was not here, but farther west and north.When Lake Chad first shrunk, it was divided into two small lakes. Later, the northern lake completely dried up. In order to get close to the water source, they had to migrate to the south with their families - which is now "Lake Chad".

It is quite miserable to say that the original Lake Chad was at the junction of Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon. As it has shrunk year after year, Nigeria and Niger can almost only look at the lake and sigh.

Even in the rainy season, the average depth of this "big" lake is less than two meters, and the deepest point is only a dozen meters. Compared with its brothers and sisters, it is really not enough, but it is such a lake The lake, which will evaporate completely, has nurtured more than two hundred species of wild animals, as well as the aborigines who live along the lake.

It's the end of August, the rainy season has started for a while, and the water level of the lake is rising.

The men also try their luck at the lake between tending date palms and other crops, preferring to catch fish with their nets rather than fishing, and occasionally hunt a duck for a tooth sacrifice.

Very rarely, camels are killed in the village, which is a source of joy for the children. When they start to wrap the legs of the camel, they will gather around and wait for the adults to hand over the steaming internal organs to eat.

The aborigines don't think there is anything wrong with eating blood, they eat it like ordinary people eat fruit.

When Jennifer promised to send the camels and all the loads to these villagers in the middle of the conversation, the "tourist treatment" she received was suddenly upgraded to "VIP treatment". More "exclusive info" on animals.

For example--

All the villagers believed that they could see ostriches and gazelles if they walked deeper into the grasslands, and elephants and hippos if they went further south, and there were crocodiles in the water; most villagers claimed that they had seen lions nearby. Wandering in the grassland; only one man claimed to have seen a beautiful leopard, but the distance was too far, and the other party fled too fast, so he didn't see the details clearly.

For example-

This is the northwest shore of Lake Chad. Going south along the lake, you can see the Gouyobe River. There are more wild animals at the junction of the river and the lake. Photographers from all over the world take pictures there all year round. The locals also have Specialized travel guides will take tourists to more inaccessible places to get in touch with wild animals.

Jennifer understood that she was probably regarded as a Westerner who came to Africa to find excitement.

To some extent, this statement seems to be true.

She smiled and listened to the villagers adding information one by one, occasionally interspersed with a few unintelligible dialects.Unit [-] was pressed down to the camera, and only pairs of feet in slippers and the mottled ground could be seen.

At the end of the talk, Jennifer finished half a bowl of dates, and the villagers called out a man wearing a red turban to guide her.

They rode camels all the way to the southwest. It is said that there is a highland in front of which they can see half of the grassland. When they are lucky, they can see beasts hunting antelope. In the early years, several documentary film crews set up base camp here.

"You're a white guy," the senior male reminded. "It doesn't matter if you're Manuel's friend or whatever, a white guy's life could be in danger on the shores of Lake Chad. If you want to take pictures nearby, you'd better Keep protecting yourself with hoods and mud."

"Dangerous?" Jennifer stopped in her tracks.

"Manuel was always selling things to the wrong people."

"Really? I thought everyone on the waterway 'loved' him. Don't you call him the Caliph of the Yellow Sand?"

"The birds that fly in the sky die on the earth, and the fish that swim in the water die on the earth. Didn't the old caliphs also die on the earth?" The man in the red turban said solemnly, "People cannot If you make a deal with a lion, when you hand over your weapon to the lion, you should think about what will happen in the future."

Jennifer looked at his exposed eyes. The veil covered the lower half of his face, making it impossible to accurately judge the other's expression.But a cognition has already attacked her in the bottom of her heart.

The Panther once said to Manuel, "You can be killed by some people thousands of times just by trading the heart-shaped grass." This "some people" is probably the "lion" in the other party's mouth.Thinking of the situation in North Africa, she also had to marvel at Manuel's audacity.

I didn't expect it at first, but now I think the caravan's stay in the Lake Chad area is inseparable from the increasingly active armed attacks in this area.No matter who Manuel's supernatural friends can get heart-shaped grass and vibranium, they are all supporting a turmoil sweeping half of North Africa, even supporting extremist organizations and global terrorism, no wonder Wakanda The king was furious.

It's just that he doesn't know who or what organization stole the vibration gold for him.

Black Panther also said that Heart Grass is a "gift" to members of the royal family and a "drug that is suspected to be able to strengthen the human body". In Jennifer's perception, Luthor is just an extreme human supremacist, at most a human being. In order to strengthen the diss aliens of all human beings, they are far from reaching the point where drug pirates try to meddle in the politics of various countries, instigate chaos, and carry out attacks everywhere.

The earth in this world is really dangerous.

For the thousand and first time, she sighed faintly.

***

Jennifer spent three days in Lakeside Village.

By the 62nd day of the competition, her task completion progress had reached [147/100], and the common animals nearby were also taken to search.

The creature that was suspected to be a Sahara cheetah has never appeared again-this makes sense, the Sahara cheetah is extremely sensitive to human perception, and sometimes it will start hiding several kilometers away, and even experts who specialize in tracking endangered animals are there. I hit a wall repeatedly.

After the task was overfulfilled, Jennifer bid farewell to the villagers and walked to the grassland in the distance. Only then did she give the command to "end the journey" to the No. [-] aircraft.

The backup team helicopters came very quickly, and they always followed the players to adjust the number and location of the base camp.

The nearest base camp is in Agadez, Niger. This city is famous for the ruins of the ancient city of Tuareg. It is also a wonderful coincidence for Jennifer who was on the bar with "Tuareg" throughout the third round. .

The crew members are still the pilot and the medical team.

Jennifer seemed to be in good spirits, so the medical staff did not come up to open the life ring, and took her back to the base camp before starting a comprehensive physical examination.The result of the examination was a mild parasitic infection, a slight sunburn, and a wound on the thigh due to long-term riding friction and agglomeration, but there was no serious illness in general.

Flying from Agadez to Los Angeles required multiple transfers, but before the program crew booked a plane for her, Bruce, who got the news, called the camp and announced that the special plane for pick-up was already on the way.

For this reason, Jennifer had to endure a day and a half of scorching staring attacks. All the young staff members were quite gossipy, and the little girl showed a look of envy and hatred.

Surprisingly, in addition to the special plane, there was also an English butler who finally arrived in Niger.

"Alfred?" Jennifer called out in surprise as soon as she saw him.

"Long time no see, Miss Davis." The old butler took her luggage in a gentlemanly manner, "This round of competition is really full of twists and turns. Apart from being exciting, one can't help but worry, isn't it?"

"I'm fine." Jennifer made a grimace, "Actually, I've never felt so good. Not only did I take a good bath yesterday, but I also went to a store in the city for a spa... Take a step back , the third round is always much luckier than my second round."

They thought of the brown bear and the cougar at the same time, and couldn't help but smile at each other.

Maja was in Los Angeles on some business for Madonna, so the only people on the plane were Jennifer, Alfred, and Bruce, who was connected by video call.

The young Batman first looked at his "girlfriend" from top to bottom, and then listened to her tell the story that happened in the Sahara while sorting out the materials.Neither the master nor the servant expected that there would be so many twists and turns. Alfred sighed again and again, saying that it was no wonder that the black panthers photographed recently looked like they were in a bad mood and would dare to block the way.

Compared with the old butler, Bruce's focus is more biased.

"Black Panther and Hatutzeladze dealing with this in front of you?"

"What is Hatutzeladze?" Jennifer asked.

"Hatuzeladze, some people call them war dogs, is Wakanda's secret police force." Bruce shrugged, "I didn't know that if you just find a mercenary, you will be stiffed by Li Daitao, although you said He's a rookie, but no dog of war would be so careless to outsiders, let alone T'Challa himself."

Jennifer rolled her eyes.

She didn't bother to ask "How do you know Wakanda so well?" She just lazily leaned back in her chair and made an international gesture towards the busy Master Wayne on the screen.

Alfred feigned an incomparable interest in the newspapers on the table.

"You know but you don't want to tell." Bruce understood immediately.

"Don't you like to solve puzzles?" Jennifer said with feigned surprise, "Don't you want to find out the answer to this question yourself, big detective? A country like Wakanda, which was only opened up a while ago, can get information. What's so difficult about you? Sometimes I even suspect that you even know the size and color of the Avengers' underwear clearly."

Now Alfred is looking gracefully out the window, as if a Superman or something is going to fly by out of nowhere.

Bruce let out a snort of offense through the screen.

"Anyway, thank you for remembering to get someone to get me out." Jennifer deliberately raised an eyebrow, "Uka must have told me categorically that my 'man' hired him, and that he 'must look after me Safety'. So touching that the Enquirer, Us Weekly, and the Daily Planet will weep at missing out on such a bombshell."

Isn't this the newspaper that reported the scandal of someone most vigorously?

Bruce was speechless, and for the first time had the idea of ​​going back to the past and prying open his head to ask why he wanted to save people.

Across from them, Alfred looked away leisurely, and slowly pressed the tablecloth back down.

If Jennifer didn't know the old housekeeper better, she would have said that he was trying to suppress half a smile.
