Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? - Chapter 238
Chapter 238: Injury Worsens
Bell woke up with heavy eye bags.
It was mainly because Bell had not rested well last night.
The pain in his shoulder kept him in a semi-conscious state.
Moreover, it was raining heavily last night.
Through the leaves on his head, the sunlight today seemed to be a little dazzling.
It seemed like the weather was good.
He gently touched the wound on his back.
Bell found that the wound on his back had scabbed over.
His shoulders could also move slightly.
However, he could not use much strength with the seriously injured side yet.
Bone fractures were not a light matter, but they were not too serious either.
The body will absorb the nutrients and calcium in the food to repair itself.
The situation seemed to be developing in a good direction.
When he fell asleep last night, Bell was worried that his wound would rot in the humidity of the Amazon rainforest.
Fortunately, his physique was good and his cells were active.
He had successfully passed this issue.
Of course, he could not let down his guard.
There were a lot of bacteria on the jaguar’s claws.
He was not able to adopt any disinfection measures last night.
Although the wound had scabbed, the bacteria under the scabs might reproduce crazily.
Therefore, he had to pay special attention to whether there were any plants that could reduce inflammation and kill bacteria.
Bell had the plant encyclopedia skill in his mind, so he knew a lot about plants.
He looked at the remaining hind leg meat of the jaguar that he had left hanging by his side last night.
The meat was already turning white, and many flies were flying around it.
It had clearly spoiled.
He jumped out of the hammock and opened the live-stream again.
As the live-stream turned on, a large number of viewers quickly rushed in.
These people were punctual.
This time, Bell noticed that there were clearly more audience members in his live-stream than before.
After thinking carefully, Bell understood.
He had made a thrilling move last night. In addition, there were a large number of fans in the live-stream who had sent gifts, and he had received thousands of rockets. If he could not attract some people, those rockets would have been in vain.
Moreover, such a thrilling thing could not be seen in ordinary places.
It was natural to gain many fans.
Therefore, although the live broadcast had just begun, Bell’s audience was already in the tens of millions.
This was definitely something that streamers of the same level could not compare to.
He moved his sore back and looked at the camera.
“Good morning, everyone.
Today is the second day since we came to the Amazon rainforest. We experienced a lot yesterday, and I didn’t have a good rest last night.
The injury on my back and shoulder made it difficult for me to sleep.
Fortunately, the situation has improved.
We have to set a small goal for ourselves today.
Find a high ground and plan the survival route. ”
The Amazon rainforest itself was a basin, and most areas were relatively flat.
The high ground that Bell was looking for was not like the previous high mountains. It was just a place with a better vision.
It could be a tall tree or something else.
Of course, that was before.
With Bell’s current condition, it was extremely difficult to climb up a tree that was fifty to sixty meters tall.
Carrying his backpack, Bell adjusted his mental state.
“Alright, let’s set off!”
The sun gradually rose.
The temperature in the rainforest had clearly increased.
The rain from last night evaporated under the high temperature and the hot air filled the entire rainforest.
Bell felt like he had returned to the environment of the steamer yesterday.
After a while, his forehead was covered in sweat.
Seeing a leaf with some rain on it, Bell plucked it and ate it.
“This environment is very annoying. Although I’m injured, I’m still looking forward to the rain.
Because that would feel more comfortable.
But the wound has to be kept dry.
If I get drenched in the rain for another day, my wound will definitely fester.”
Bell looked around.
There was dense vegetation all around, and green filled his entire vision.
Every tree looked similar.
“In this rainforest environment, it’s easy to get lost.
In addition, it is difficult to make progress on the ground.
Once a newbie enters the rainforest, there is a high chance of them going in circles.
If you encounter this situation, let me teach you a method.
If you have a rope, place it behind you and move along.
If there are no ropes, you can use vines.
It is better if the rope is long, about five meters is good.
While moving, you can look back to see if the rope is still in a straight line.
If it is still in a straight line, it means that your direction is correct.
If it’s not, it means that you are already moving randomly.”
Bell explained to the audience in the live-stream.
After resting for a while, Bell continued moving.
Walking through this slippery rainforest, Bell’s stamina was quickly exhausted.
But the speed was very slow.
In this dangerous environment, Bell had to be in a highly guarded state.
Something could appear at any time.
Therefore, although he had walked for an hour, Bell had walked less than 500 meters.
At this moment, Bell acutely sensed that the injury on the back of his neck was itchy.
This was not good news.
Under normal circumstances, the wound would itch, and it might regenerate and slowly heal.
However, this usually happened a few days later.
Normally, people’s wounds would heal in three steps.
The first step was to stop the bleeding.
The blood platelets in the human body would quickly stop the bleeding.
The second step was to condense the white blood cells into scabs.
It can prevent bacteria from entering the human body.
The third step was the healing stage.
Muscle tissue and nerve vessels began to grow again.
At this stage, the wound would also itch.
This stage usually lasted for about a week, but the specific time depended on the person’s physique.
But Bell had just been injured yesterday. No matter how good his physique was, it was impossible for him to start healing overnight.
Therefore, the only explanation was that his wound had been infected by bacteria.
The cells in his body were trying their best to eliminate these bacteria, which caused his wound to itch.
Thinking of this, Bell immediately decided to change his plan.
He had planned to find a high ground to plan the route.
But now, he had to find some plants that could reduce inflammation and kill bacteria.
