Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? - Chapter 184
Chapter 184: The Story Is a Lie
“I’m very nervous right now. Normally, in such an environment, the human body will secrete a large amount of adrenaline to stimulate the nerves.
It can be considered a natural protective mechanism, but this adrenaline will not last for long. It will last for three minutes at most.
Ordinary extreme sports enthusiasts will also call these three minutes golden time.
I can already feel my body entering this state. ”
At this moment, Bell, Ped, and the other man had already taken off everything other than their boxers.
As for their clothes, they stuffed them into their backpacks.
The backpack had a certain waterproof function. In addition, it would only be in the water for a short time, so it should be able to ensure that the inside was dry when they reached the shore.
Their bodies started shivering due to the cold.
Bell glanced at Ped and the thin man.
“Are you ready?”
…
The two of them said nothing and nodded.
“Three.”
“Two.”
“One!”
As Bell’s voice fell, the three of them were like arrows released from a bow.
They rushed over with a bang.
Moreover, because of the impact, the ice under their feet instantly shattered.
Fortunately, the three of them had already left their original positions.
The shattered ice began to spread in all directions.
Running at full speed, Bell felt a warm current in his body.
The adrenaline in his body was constantly stimulating his nerves.
He was getting closer and closer to the shore.
The three of them were not slow.
After all, this was a life and death situation. No one dared to pause.
Bell ran till he was about dozens of meters away from the shore. Seeing that the ice was not broken, he was delighted.
It would be best if he could reach ashore without falling into the water.
However, the next second, there was a thud.
The ice under Bell’s feet shattered and he fell into the lake.
Instantly, the cold lake water enveloped him.
Endless cold began to enter his body through his skin.
Bell immediately activated the Wilderness Hunter skill.
Warmth rose in his body again. He used all his strength and did not dare to waste any time as he swam towards the shore.
For a moment, Bell was like a big fish in the water, constantly twisting his body. The shattered ice on the lake was ruthlessly knocked away.
When he fell into the ice, Bell was about 70 meters away from the shore.
It took Bell less than fifty seconds to crawl out of the lake.
A cold wind blew, making him shiver.
Coming ashore from the ice water made Bell feel even colder than in ice water.
Of course, this was an illusion.
Bell quickly put down his backpack and changed into his clothes to barely regain some warmth.
But even so, his limbs had become a little stiff. He could not even bend his fingers.
He looked at Ped and the thin man.
Ped was not lucky. When he was less than 70 meters away, he fell into the water. Fortunately, his survival instinct made him struggle and swim up.
The thin man was very lucky. He kept running, but the ice below him did not shatter.
The three of them were safe.
Bell heaved a sigh of relief.
“My limbs are already numb and I’ve completely lost feeling. This is actually the human body’s self-protection mechanism. In an extremely cold situation, the blood will automatically retract from the limbs into the body to protect the most important organs and ensure the most basic need for survival. But now, we have to let the blood flow again. Otherwise, we will soon freeze to death.”
While Bell was talking to the viewers, Ped and the thin man had already arrived beside Bell.
Ped and Bell’s conditions were not much different, while the thin man was clearly in a much better state.
The three of them could not care less and immediately began to do push-ups on the ground.
The few of them moved very quickly. In just ten or so seconds, they had done dozens of push-ups.
After doing all this, they felt some feeling return to their limbs.
Clenching his fists, Bell heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the three of them were out of danger, the audience in the live-stream was relieved.
“Alright, everyone, we have to find a place to start a fire and dry our shoes and socks. Otherwise, our feet will freeze soon.
If such a thing happens, the chances of survival will be greatly reduced. ”
The situation was urgent, and Bell did not dare to delay. He carried his backpack and led Ped and the thin man into the forest.
This was a forest of pine and white birch trees. The snow on the ground had already become very thin.
In order to maintain his consciousness, Bell jogged and chatted with the audience in the live-stream.
“I wonder if you’ve seen the Academy Award-winning film, The Revenant?
If you have watched it, you should know that this is a movie adapted from a real life event.”
“When the fur industry first rose in the 19th century, many hunters came to Alaska to obtain rich rewards because there were a large number of brown bears, Arctic foxes, and black bears here. The fur of these animals could provide huge profits. It was also in this era that a hunter became a legend in Alaska.”
“The story is very simple. A group of fur hunters came to this mountain range to hunt black bears, but unfortunately, one of them was attacked by an Alaskan brown bear that night.
That brown bear was very cruel. It beat the hunter until he was on the verge of death. But fortunately, the brown bear did not choose to eat him. ”
“But when the companions saw that he was seriously injured, they thought that he would not survive. They abandoned him and left with the supplies.”
“In the cold environment, his legs are deeply frostbitten and he lost the feeling in them.”
“But a person’s will can’t be underestimated. Even in this environment, this hunter still dragged his dead legs and lived on this land for three months and survived.”
Bell’s tone suddenly changed, “To be honest, I admire his luck. In this environment, he dragged his legs and crawled around with less than a kilometer per hour speed and survived. Moreover, this mountain range is hundreds of kilometers long.”
