Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? - Chapter 204
Chapter 204: The Progress of the Teams
Seeing that Bell was not giving up, everyone in the live-stream was amused.
“Hahaha, I like Bell’s temper.”
“Bell, why don’t we forget it and stop struggling?”
“That day, Bell encountered his lifelong enemy.”
“To sink like this or sink like that, this is the question.”
“Schrodinger’s raft.”
Looking at the ridiculing comments in the live-stream, Bell rolled his eyes.
These guys only knew how to joke. His raft was not even built yet, and they were already saying that he would definitely not make it.
I don’t believe this. I have to test it today.
He had to slap their faces when he finished building the raft.
…
Bell held his breath. Normally, he would only take ten minutes or so to build the raft, but this time, he spent an hour to finally finish it.
The main structure of the raft did not change.
But compared to the raft he had made before, its structure was stronger.
Because of this result that had taken him an hour of effort, even if he encountered the situation yesterday again, he would be able to pass it safely.
At the very least, it would not fall apart in the rocky area.
Although Ped and the man did not know why Bell was obsessed about this, they were willing to help Bell complete this matter.
At the very least, the two of them had to admit that after sitting on the raft, their speed had indeed increased.
Moreover, without this raft, the two of them would be the ones to carry this 60 kilograms of bear meat.
The stamina consumption was definitely huge.
After Bell finished the raft, the bear meat beside the fire was already charred.
The three of them did not mind and finished distributing the bear meat.
They pushed the raft to the shore.
Then, Bell stuffed the bowstring and Reserve Food into his backpack.
Immediately after, the bear meat was pushed onto the raft. Clearly, Bell was planning to gamble this time.
After the cold weather outside for the past few hours, the bear meat had already frozen into a lump.
After extinguishing the fire, the three of them made all the preparations.
“After some consideration, I decided to plan our route on the water. Whether it’s in terms of safety or time, the best choice now is to take the water route. ”
Ped and the man shrugged and said nothing.
As students, what else could they say? It was fine as long as Bell was happy.
When the people in the live-stream heard that Bell still chose to take the water route, they also watched like they wanted to see the matter blow up.
Seeing that no one believed him, Bell pouted.
Bell took a deep breath and jumped onto the bamboo raft.
He tried and found that the bamboo raft was quite stable.
Then, Ped and the man walked up like Bell.
The three of them walked onto the bamboo raft. The bamboo raft did not sink, making them heave a sigh of relief.
Bell was mainly afraid that the face-slapping would happen too quickly. He was worried that his hour-long effort would be wasted. Fortunately, the raft did not disappoint him.
Holding the wooden branches that they had prepared in advance, the three of them jumped onto the raft and pushed it to the center of the river.
Following the river, the raft began to slowly float down.
Bell placed the bear skin on the raft to block the dampness.
Looking at the rows of comments on the screen, they said that the raft would definitely sink.
Bell pointed his middle finger at the camera.
“You’re gloating. I swear that this raft will not sink. The previous rafts I made were also fine. The reason why they sank was just bad luck. If this raft sinks as well, I won’t make a raft again.”
“If I’m not wrong, this river will eventually flow into the Chena River.
When we get there, we will be very close to success.
By then, we will only be two days away from Fairbanks.
Most importantly, the temperature there will increase, and there are not so many black bears and brown bears.”
“According to the speed at which the raft is moving, if nothing goes wrong,….ptui, ptui, nothing will happen this time. We will reach the Chena River this afternoon. ”
Bell quickly took back his words as if he was worried of jinxing himself.
Ped and the man were helpless.
Good lord, he himself was not confident in his raft.
The live-stream was also filled with laughter.
Time passed slowly. Bell was not as relaxed as he looked.
He was not fully confident. Every now and then, he would check the raft.
This scene made everyone in the live-stream laugh.
The raft floated on the river for two hours.
Under Bell’s careful supervision, nothing happened. It was stable.
Bell would look into the distance from time to time.
The river was flowing stably, which made him feel relieved.
The three of them sat on the raft and floated down the river.
“Bell, if nothing goes wrong, we will definitely be in the top two in this Wilderness Survival.” Ped suddenly said.
Bell was stunned. The top two? This was a little different from his estimate.
Ped continued.
“Originally, we were delayed by Jack, but things did not go smoothly for Bear and Ed either.
Bear was fine. Although his team had been attacked by a few brown bears, it was a close shave.
Moreover, the team is more united, so they are moving steadily.
Their speed is about the same as ours. It will depend on who can maintain the current situation.
Things are not so smooth on Ed’s side.
When they crossed an ice river, Ed’s team had an accident that resulted in a few members being injured.
Although it’s not life-threatening, it has affected their speed. ”
Hearing Ped’s words, Bell understood.
Wilderness Survival was like this. Accidents could happen at any time.
Therefore, even the best survivalist could not guarantee their safety.
It could only be said that their chances of survival were higher than others.
In such a team competition, it was inevitable that there would be a few burdens in the team.
Suddenly, Bell seemed to remember something and asked Ped.
“How are Jack and the others?”
That guy had always been looking to go against him.
