Chapter 278: Move Forward or Stop, or Stop Here?

Chapter 278: Go forward or stop, or... stop here?

Fifteen screens, only one is lit, which is unique to Scorpion.

The screen switches, and the face of the fire maker is half bright and half dark under the light of the fire, but the relaxed and happy expression can still be seen.

It is Doligong.

Many viewers are impressed by this elite of the fire fighting team, because Bifang introduced him in detail at the beginning, and he had a confrontation with a brown bear and successfully escaped.

The drone flew and took pictures of what Doligong was holding. Two black rocks lay quietly on the ground. They were flints.

Both flints had neat fractures. They should have been a whole piece. I think they were broken by Doligong.

The audience suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the fire could be started so quickly, but it was not known whether it was good luck or real strength to find flint in the dark night.

Bifang joked: "It seems that our firefighters are not only good at putting out fires, but also good at making fires."

With light, even if it is only a little, the next thing will be easier to do. Duoligong wrapped the flint with a cloth strip to make a simple knife, and also began to chop branches to build a small nest.

Although he did not escape capture and obtain the initial props, as a member of the national elite firefighting team, Duoligong, who often works in the wild, definitely ranks among the top among all contestants in terms of outdoor wilderness knowledge.

Firefighting is not as simple as ordinary people imagine. You must have a considerable understanding of the terrain, trees and environment. It is not just a simple watering. In addition, protecting wild animals is also one of Duoligong's responsibilities. If you want to protect them, you must first understand the habits of animals, right?

Now that there is a fire, you have the confidence to resist the severe cold. There is no need to rush for the next thing. As long as you take your time, you can always build it.

The rest of the people naturally think so too. Fire can not only bring light, but also bring warmth.

Unfortunately, they were obviously not as lucky as Duoligong to find flint easily, so they could only try some more primitive methods, such as drilling wood to make fire, but the primitive method of making fire is very demanding in terms of skills and physical strength, and the selection of materials is also very particular, otherwise Bifang would not have to explain how to make materials every time.

Different geographical environments and plant species are different. Bifang will use materials to make fire every time according to local conditions, and try to use materials that are common and easy to use locally.

But it was late, not only was it difficult to find suitable materials, but the contestants did not dare to leave the drop site easily, at least the drop site was a safe point explored by the program team. Who knows if they will encounter danger if they run to other places?

Fortunately, the weather is still very cold, and many poisonous insects and snakes have not yet appeared, otherwise the night will be even more difficult.

Therefore, half an hour passed, and including Duoligong, only three contestants lit the fire.

It is worth mentioning that Mugalen finally opened the military can with a sharp stone. The military can was very caloric. After only two bites of meat, Mugalen felt the heat rising from his stomach. He was no longer afraid of the cold and quickly started digging a pit.

"Earth pit?" Bifang took a look and understood the type of shelter Mugalun wanted to build, which was an earth pit where he could hide. "Earth pit shelters have relatively high requirements and are generally used in the desert, because there are many poisonous insects after the soil is dug up. Earth pits are not often used in the forest."

After a pause, Bifang explained: "But in the current situation, it is also a good idea. Because of the severe cold, many places are frozen soil, there are not many insects, and because of the freezing, the lower soil is relatively dry. More importantly, digging an earth pit is much more convenient than cutting branches in the dark."

[As expected of a deer hunter, he has some skills]

[The weirder the painting style, the stronger the strength]

[Mu is bold]

The soil after frost is not solid. Rainwater seeps into the soil and freezes and sublimates at night, leaving gaps. It is very soft. In just over ten minutes, Mugalun dug out an earth pit that can accommodate one person.

It is not deep. The deeper you dig, the harder the earth pit becomes. The effort consumed is not proportional to the harvest. It is enough to just be able to lie down completely.

Then Mugalun laid a layer of dead branches and rotten leaves on the bottom, and then laid another layer on his body after lying down, and then sprinkled mud on it, covered it tightly, and actually slept like this.

The audience was amazed, worthy of being an old hunter, he was so brave that he dared to sleep directly without even making a fire.

After seeing Mugalun's earth pit, the perspective switched to Ji Zuodong. At this time, he had also built his own shack, which was very simple, an open hut.

Find two trees with a close distance, lean the long pole against them, and then lay them layer by layer, and lay dead branches and shrubs to block the wind, and a simple hut is completed.

However, the warmth retention effect of such a hut is much worse, so Ji Zuodong is still trying to make a fire. With a claw knife, he can easily get fine tinder, and Bifang does not doubt that he can make a fire.

The shelter built by Bono, the first to escape successfully, really made everyone's eyes light up.

It turned out to be a hammock!

Twenty meters of nylon rope is a long rope, and Bono made full use of it and used it to make a hammock. It can not only effectively prevent insects on the ground, but also be much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground.

[Hammock! I have never slept in one before]

[This Ranger is great, he can actually think of using the rope like this]

But despite the benefits, Bifang still shook his head.

"If you are in the rainforest, it is undoubtedly a great idea to make a hammock. A hammock far away from the ground can effectively isolate the moisture on the ground. The rainforest is rich in species, and there are many poisonous insects, snakes and ants. The hammock can also avoid these dangerous creatures.

But this is a forest, or the Rocky Mountains in late February. The climate is very cold. Even if the hammock is covered with leaves, the warmth effect is limited. It is only for one night, but the body will definitely not be able to withstand it for a long time."

Bono wrapped a lot of branches around the hammock, so that the hammock would not become a simple few lines, and it could also hold a lot of dead branches and leaves, but this is still not enough.

In a cold environment, the first element of a shelter is warmth.

"If you are not strong enough, you should build a shack honestly, otherwise you will catch a cold overnight."

The performance of the three escapees is what the audience cares about most. After watching them, the camera was given to the remaining contestants. Some succeeded in making a fire, and some tried for half an hour, but finally failed with sore arms.

But without exception, everyone started to build their own huts after trying or not trying to make a fire. They basically used local materials. If not, they would build a shed that could block the wind and rain.

The first night was passed by everyone like this. When everyone started to sleep, the first day of live broadcast ended.

In the woods, a transport helicopter landed on the frozen ground, and the cabin was full of screens and people.

"How is it?"

Bifang took off his headphones and looked at Jarrett on the side.

Jarrett gave a thumbs up and admired: "Very good, not to mention the wilderness field, even in other fields I have never seen a commentator like you."

Commentators appear in many places, whether it is game competition or sports competition, they are always inseparable from the voice of the commentator.

A qualified commentator should have two basic requirements, one is strong professional quality, and the other is eloquent and good at guiding the audience's emotions.

Bifang's former is not to mention, the orange legendary wilderness traveler, if this strength is not considered professional, then no one in the world can say that he is professional.

The second point is that Bifang is also very skilled. His live broadcast is not only to show his skills, but also to communicate with hundreds of thousands of viewers.

Wilderness survival is a lot of time on the road. Being able to retain even half of the audience during this boring time is enough to show how powerful Bifang is.

He can tell the local history at any place, and trace the origin of a thing and tell the relevant ethnic stories. Even if Bifang was not proficient at the beginning, after more than half a year, he is like an old man selling oil, and his hands are only familiar.

Adding the two together, Bifang is a commentator without any sense of disobedience, which can be called seamless connection.

Bifang nodded, that's good, and then touched his stomach. He hadn't eaten all afternoon, and he was really a little hungry now.

Jarrett also saw it and moved out a large box with various canned food, instant noodles and instant rice.

There is no way. They also have to accompany the players here for 12 days. It is impossible to send other helicopters to deliver supplies every day, so they have to eat these foods every day.

Bifang was not polite. Compared with what he often ate in the wild, a box of instant noodles could be called a delicacy.

Food produced under modern industry, regardless of whether it is healthy or not, at least the taste is absolutely incomparable.

The next day, when the first contestant sat up from the dead branches, Bifang turned on the live broadcast. After greeting the audience as usual, the camera was given to the first contestant who stood up.

It was not yet completely bright, but it was obvious that the other party could not "sleep".

[No way, get up so early? ]

[It's not bright yet? What time is it now? ]

"It's about 5:30 in the morning, local time, and there is still an hour before dawn." Bifang saw the audience's surprised faces, glanced at his watch and said lightly, "The reason why this contestant got up so early is that he didn't sleep at all last night."

Didn't sleep?

The audience was shocked.

Bifang nodded, obviously he had anticipated this situation a long time ago. In addition to the people from the monitoring team who kept checking the condition of the contestants last night, he also got up frequently to take a look.

Among the fifteen people, at least three did not sleep all night, seven fell asleep in the second half of the night because they were too tired, and two did not move at all. It is not clear. What is clear is that only a few fell asleep soon after entering the shack.

"The pressure of survival in the wild is very huge, especially when you are alone and have no protection, insomnia is almost inevitable."

Is there anyone who has ever slept alone in the wild without any weapons?

The wild here is not the intersection of the village, but the primitive forest in the big forest. When it is dark, you can't see your hand in front of your face, and you can often hear the howling of wolves.

There are no tents, no companions, no weapons, and even no direction.

All fifteen contestants have experience in camping in the wild, but it is estimated that none of them meets the above three conditions at the same time.

The fact that Bifang was able to fall asleep quickly in the wild during the first live broadcast is actually a reflection of his strong psychological quality.

Of course, the skills given by the system also give a certain amount of experience and confidence, so that he will not be too panicked, otherwise he will suffer from insomnia.

[No, if you can't sleep early, why waste it? 】

【Yeah, isn’t this a waste of time? 】

“Because of the cost.”

Cost?

The audience was stunned when they heard this word, and they felt it sounded familiar, as if Fang Shen had mentioned it before?

"Of course I have said that wilderness survival is actually a math problem. You have to consider the cost and benefit of everything you do." Bifang pointed to the first contestant who stood up and kept moving his body, freezing him all night.

"What can you do if you don't sleep at night? Travel at night? This is definitely not a good idea. Walking in the forest at night is very dangerous. The first is the problem of direction. If there are no stars, you can easily get lost. Moreover, night is also the time when many animals are active. They run around and leave a series of smells, which makes it easy to run into and catch up."

"The weather is too cold. If you keep moving to keep warm, your body will consume a lot of energy and you will be hungry easily, so you can only lie in the shack, even if you can't sleep.

These people may not have slept alone in the wild, but they still understand the truth. Maybe not as clearly as I summarized it, and they also know to save as much strength as possible and wait until dawn to explore."

The audience then understood why the contestants couldn't sleep, but they had to lie in the shack. It turned out to be to save their strength.

The first contestant who woke up moved his body for a while, and the sky became dim. After feeling his body warm, he exhaled a breath of mist and began to look for new materials for making fire. He failed to make a fire last night, and his arms were so sore that he couldn't try again. Today, he recovered a little and planned to try again.

With the faint light, he began to look for suitable materials, and often went to some larger rock piles, which puzzled the audience.

Seeing that some audiences were puzzled, Bifang explained: "He is looking for flint. In the wild, flint can be found in larger rock piles, so the probability of finding it is the highest."

As the sky gradually brightened, more and more contestants woke up. The wild temperature in the Rocky Mountains was completely below zero. Many people wiped a handful of white frost on their faces as soon as they woke up.

Gradually, the audience found that two contestants were sneezing.

This is a precursor to a cold.

Many viewers were quite worried, and Bifang also had a hunch that perhaps someone would quit the game as soon as it started.

However, the next part is the highlight.

Bifang held the thermos cup, his thoughts drifting away. He remembered his map design, and the placement of the contestants was strictly calculated by him.

How should the contestants spend their 300 hours? Should they choose to set up a camp on the spot and accumulate survival materials step by step, or choose to cross the wilderness to get a higher score?

If they choose to cross, should they choose to deviate from the straight line to find a wooden house a hundred kilometers away? Bet on the supplies inside?

It will take at least two days to find the wooden house. Can they still successfully cross?

If they choose to give up crossing, can they still beat the contestants who choose to stay at the beginning and accumulate for several days?

Physical fitness, distance, danger, time.

Every step needs to be carefully considered by the contestants. If one step is wrong, all steps will be wrong. The first step may be the horn of success, or it may be an endless abyss.

Today is the first day experienced by the contestants, and it is also the day they need to make a choice.

"Should we move forward, stay, or... stop here?"
