Wilderness Challenge [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

Jennifer quickly gave up trying to get her bearings.

The ring of life will not show the players the location of the task points in the first three days. According to the words of the competition manual, "For the excitement of the game, the players need time to adapt to the rainforest environment" - just stamped on the forehead. This suggestion comes from Tony Stark is gone.

Those who can make it to the fourth round are elites from among the 5000 contestants. They all have unique identities, such as retired survival instructors, retired special forces soldiers, and survival experts. According to past interviews, there are also some indigenous research scholars And biologists, in short, except for the "actor" Jennifer, they seem to be very good at just looking at their resumes.

Few of these people can't "live for three days", but the schedule is extremely rigorous. After "wasting" three days, they still have to rush in the rainforest, compete for ten medals, guard against other players and hunt Raiders attack... Fortunately, the program team gave a chance to use the reptile potion, otherwise few people would probably be able to complete the journey.

The road ahead is downhill.

The path made of dirt was submerged by green plants, and now Jennifer is surrounded by plants half a person's height. These unknown plants grow among the trees, which cast another layer of fog on the already complex terrain.

The golden-red camera group turned into a camouflage color, and the No. [-] camera was the most idle, because there were basically no players visible from the altitude where it was located, only high and low green.

After walking a few steps forward, Jennifer had to pick up dead branches to clear the way.

"Now is the time when outdoor knives are most needed." She said to the No. [-] machine while working, "The program crew gives knives in desert terrain, but this kind of dense forest terrain does not give half tools, which is completely illogical. If so Tucker wants to play the Hunger Games, is he still planning to ask the audience to send knives to the contestants? Please be sure to send me knives, I will thank you."

In any case, something to clear the way is better than nothing.

Clearing the obstacles in the line of sight can effectively prevent accidental injury.

"There are tree roots under my feet." Jennifer pointed to the ground. "These roots are coiled together. On the one hand, it is difficult for people to walk, and on the other hand, it is also confusing." She knelt down and pulled some of them. "These are good roots, and they twist together like balls of thread to make a solid footing. But those—"

It was pressed until the root of the tree broke open, revealing the covered pit.

"If explorers stepped in unsuspecting, they would most likely break their own ankle. Incapacitation in this environment is fatal, and the fracture itself would cause great pain and inconvenience to the explorer, as well as putting them at risk when facing predators."

Due to the global live broadcast, some words cannot be said.

"Predators" in the Amazon don't just refer to beasts of prey.There are still many secrets in this area that have not been discovered by urban civilization. Throughout the ages, explorers have been killed by indigenous tribes. In recent years, tourists have often been kidnapped. Bandits often extort high ransoms, otherwise they will not blink torn ticket——

"We have to be very careful."

When Jennifer was in trouble, the commentators in the live broadcast room were also discussing the situation of the nine contestants.

Despite not knowing where to go, most players are moving right now.

Here are two "teams", and they were placed very close to each other. To the north is a rapid tributary of the Amazon River, to the south is the nearest mission point, and to the west or east are endless dense forests.A scientific expedition team once entered here to make insect specimens, but unfortunately they were attacked by a huge anaconda.

"There are three people walking in the right direction." Bell pointed to the map and said, "The helicopter dropped all the players within thirty miles of the mission point. On this kind of terrain, the players can only travel fifteen miles a day, that is, Saying that if you go in the right direction you can close the distance in three days, if you go in the wrong direction, they are doing nothing."

Cody tapped the screen, and ten red dots kept jumping on the map.

"You are right. The competition area is generally like an oval. The east and west ends are far apart, and the north and south ends are close. Our players in Jiugongge are all at the south end. I have to turn back to this mission point, it’s not worth the loss.”

"It's like hit and miss." Ricky grimaced.

"In the wilderness, sometimes we can only try our luck." Cody said gently, "We don't know whether we will meet the prey, let alone whether we will encounter danger. For example, I have passed various Knowledge deduces that there is no danger in a wood, but luck was so bad that I came across a bear that night wandering near a human settlement."

"Speaking of bears, I happen to have a few good stories." Bell cheered.

"I'd rather not hear about the tragic experiences of those poor people." Cody paused.They had a discussion about the correctness and mistakes of several players in searching resources. After a few minutes, the system zoomed in on the picture in the middle grid. "Ah, it's Jennifer, now that she's moving, let's see what she's going to do."

"She seems to be heading northeast," Bell reckoned.

Jennifer was indeed heading northeast—objectively speaking, she didn't know which direction she was heading, but she was just heading towards the nearest highland. Since she couldn't determine her destination, she might as well start setting up camp in advance to save energy.

It was still raining, and as time passed, not only did the sound of the rain not stop, but it became more audible.

Heavy rain will bring immediate changes to the dense forest.

First of all, the soil will be more humid, and survivors will spend more effort to maintain balance and trek; second, flash floods will occur in some waterways, bringing disaster to the camp.

"It's not too dry, and it's not too wet." Jennifer said while walking, "In the Sahara desert, I will be dried as soon as I sweat out. Now I feel like I am in a sauna."

Chest tightness, shortness of breath, irritability.

This body really needs to adapt to this extreme environment, and after fully adapting to survive like an aborigine, it may be more effective with half the effort.It took her a long time to get used to the dry heat last round, and now it's taking her time to get used to the humid heat...

The strange thing is that every step she takes feels more familiar, as if the inner consciousness is subtly affecting the physical body.

***

The high ground is about 400 meters away from the rope drop point.

After arriving, Jennifer began to observe the terrain, looking for a flat area suitable for camping.

There are more than 70000 species of plants growing in every square mile of the Amazon rainforest. Most of these shrubs and trees have no proper names, and some are not even scientifically recorded. She can only find suitable wood by feeling, such as balsa wood.

Balsa wood, also called balsa wood, is an excellent resource.They are easy to cut, extremely light, and very strong, making them excellent for rafts and, in some countries, cork.Jennifer has found two large trees running side by side, and is now ready to make a hammock out of balsa wood.

Almost every survival expert mentions hammocks in jungle environments.

Not many people can make a fire in the rainforest. Without a fire, a person would lose a lot of heat lying on the ground, especially in a humid environment.In addition to the cold, there are poisonous insects and snakes lurking on the surface. When Jennifer walked over, she saw a huge scorpion under the dead leaves. Think about what would happen if this thing crawled over while she was asleep.

A hammock is the only option, the problem is—

No sharp weapon.

You need an ax to cut a tree. If you don’t have an ax, you need at least a outdoor knife. If you want to chop balsa wood, you need a small knife, but none of these are available.Jennifer was left with only one terrible choice, Stone.

It is not difficult to make a knife out of stones. You only need to collide two stones at a suitable angle, and the incision of the thin slice can be used as a blade.This primitive cutting tool is fine for cutting bark and killing game, but lacking for logging.

Axes and knives use the force of the swing to apply pressure, but flakes of stone require the palm of your hand.

Jennifer only felled one tree before she was skinned by rocks.

She shook her head, and simply cut off a few thinner and shorter vines, found a thicker branch, cut a thin slit in the upper part of the branch with a stone piece, inserted it vertically, and tied the stone piece tightly with the vine .

In this way, there is a simple stone axe, which can hold at least a few times with moderate force.

With extremely crude equipment, it took Jennifer a long time to prepare all the materials to be used, namely: more than ten fist-thick balsa stakes, a large bundle of strong vines, and several palm leaves.

The process of making a solid wood hammock is much faster than prepping the materials.

First use a simple stone ax to carve out depressions on the back of the two base trunks.This is demanding on the base tree, they have to be strong and strong enough or they won't be able to take the weight of a solid wood hammock.Only split the bark on the back to ensure the tree will survive after the person leaves, otherwise it is safer to split along the trunk.

After splitting the recess you can start making the hammock itself.

The solid wood hammock is almost in the shape of a "day", and five wooden piles are used for the main structure.In order to ensure a firm structure, Jennifer used a stone ax to chop off a small piece at the joint of the wooden piles, and embedded them together like a mortise and tenon.

After finishing the structure, the next step is to lay the bed.

This step is similar to the previous step, and the wooden stakes are fixed side by side on the main trunk in the same way as underlayment.These wooden posts are supported by three crosspieces of the "Japanese" structure, so they will not break suddenly when they are half asleep.

All joints in the "日" character structure must be tied tightly with rattan. Connected to the four corners are the two ends of two long rattans. Their middle parts rotate around the base tree several times, which is equivalent to placing a hammock Hanging and stabilizing in mid-air.

After finishing the bed body, Jennifer cut dents on the two higher sides of the base tree, tied two long wooden stakes at different heights horizontally, and fastened them with rattan.Because she was going to live for three days, she simply wove palm leaves, put some on the top to keep out the rain, and put some under her body as a mattress.

After the whole hammock was completed, Jennifer looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

"Now we have a place to live," she said. "The palm leaves are slanted, and they drain the rainwater directly into the ground. Of course, I can also use the leaves to weave baskets to collect fresh water, but it's hard to say how many plants the water passes through. It falls to the ground and is not recommended for consumption if it cannot be boiled."

At this moment, it was approaching dusk, and the day was passing by in a busy way.

Seeing that the other contestants on the screen were still trekking, the audience couldn't help but question their souls.

【Okay, I knew Jenny was going on vacation again, the essence is to enjoy it. 】

【what can I say?What can i say?This sanctuary is too luxurious for the wilderness. 】

【competition is over. 】

If Jennifer could see the comment section, she would tell the fans herself that the game is far from over.

Shelters provide shelter from rain, and that's just the beginning of Amazon's survival.

There is no food, no water, and no fire.

The survival commentators can understand it.

Cody said bluntly:

"Over the past three rounds, we've known that Jennifer Davis is surprisingly good at survival, and islands, alpine forests and deserts look no different. But the Amazon rainforest will be a challenge for any survival expert , Every corner, every corner, may hide a fatal crisis, it is definitely not a place for newcomers to go."

"That's right," added Bell. "We've all been to the Amazon rainforest, we've all thought we'd fit in with what nature has to offer, and we've all learned a great lesson there—"

He himself had eaten some raw food in the rainforest and suffered serious illnesses as a result, and it was hard to say whether it was the snails or the land crab.However, Cody and his companions were thrown in the rubber boat in the rapids, and spent a journey of survival that was definitely not pleasant.

"—and now she's in trouble."

The rainforest is a green desert, where resources seem to be everywhere, but in fact there are not many that can be safely used by human beings.

Jennifer has to go hunting, but there is a high probability that she will not encounter any mammals.

At this stage, the only food sources that can provide energy are plant fruits, various insects, reptiles and amphibians, such as frogs and snakes, which are known to be warm nests of parasites and bacteria.

The program team did not provide lighters or flints. The environment is so humid, and it is a challenge to find dry tinder, let alone drilling wood to make fire in rainy days, which means that even if she finds prey, Jennifer must be satisfied with raw food.

One link after another, it is really difficult.
