Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? - Chapter 286
286 Landing
“The parachute I’m using now is a rapid-landing parachute. It can let us land quickly.
The temperature in the sky is really too cold, but I have to warn everyone here. If you are interested in parachuting, please do not imitate my actions. I can do this because I have a certain level of proficiency in this.”
Using the parachute, Bell quickly landed on the ground and quickly moved his arms and legs to let the blood flow again.
He explained to the audience in the live-stream.
!!
“In the hinterland of Siberia, it continues to snow for eight months every year. From September to May, the snow can even accumulate up to five or six meters.”
Bell stepped on the ground.
“Don’t think that I’m stepping on the frozen soil. This is only because the temperature is too low, causing this place to become a pancake. The real frozen soil is at least a meter deep under this snow.”
At this moment, Bell finally regained some feeling in his hands and feet.
While he was in good condition, Bell quickly took off his backpack and stuffed the parachute inside.
“Even in the day, the average temperature here is -40 °C. At night, it can reach a terrifying -65 °C.
The lowest temperature can even reach -70 °C.
Because you are all behind the screen, you can’t understand how cold it is now. ”
At this point, Bell breathed out before the camera.
The audience in the live-stream could clearly see the white gas that Bell breathed out quickly freeze in the air.
“Did everyone see that? In less than a minute, frost has already formed on my eyebrows.
If you stood still here, you would freeze to death in less than five minutes.
This is also why I said that if you don’t have suitable techniques, you won’t even be able to survive for a few minutes.”
“Firstly, if you want to stay here, you have to keep moving and let your blood circulate.
Otherwise, once you stop, the extreme low temperature will freeze your blood in a few minutes.”
Bell put on his backpack again and looked south.
“Our survival route this time is to head south where the temperature is higher.
It is not realistic to walk out of Siberia on foot, especially when it is winter now.
So I think we will use another method.
There is the longest railway in the world in Siberia, Trans-Siberian Railway. As long as we can find that railway, we can leave on it.”
“Everyone, follow my footsteps and experience the scenery here.”
It had only been a minute since Bell dropped the parachute.
But in this short minute, Bell still felt his hands and feet lose feeling.
Bell did not dare to delay any longer.
He had to move quickly.
In the eastern region of Siberia, the sun sometimes gave people the illusion that it had just risen and was about to set again.
Bell walked through the tree line alone and looked at the sun that was still hanging in the sky.
“Because of the influence of the Arctic Circle, the sunlight here is very short, only four hours.
Once the sun sets, the temperature outside will drop to -55 °C.
As for midnight, it will be the lowest temperature.”
“It’s different from Alaska. If we can make a snow cave there, we can at least make do for a night.”
“But if I dare to do this here, it will be no different from courting death. Without a fire, I will definitely be frozen into a popsicle.”
Humans were not machines. They needed to rest and their bodies would be in a still state at that time. If there was no source of temperature absorption at low temperatures, they would naturally lose their heat quickly.
Until now, Bell had never heard of anyone who could rest safely at -60 °C without any sources of warmth.
Even with Bell’s current attributes, it was impossible to do this.
Not to mention -65 degrees Celsius, even at this temperature of -40 degrees, Bell felt that he could freeze to death if he slept just like that.
Because there were only four hours of sunlight, there would only be around six hours of day time even if you counted the time for the sun to rise and set.
In other words, Bell only had this time to move.
In these six hours, he allocated about two hours to build a shelter and search for food.
The Siberian Railway covered a total of 9,289 kilometers.
It took seven days and six nights to reach the end of the railway track from the start.
He was about 180 kilometers away from the Siberian Railway.
Yesterday, at the hotel, Bell had already asked the train station in advance and learned that the train had set off from Moscow. According to the speed, it should pass by here on the afternoon of the sixth day.
This meant that Bell had to reach the railway before noon on the sixth day.
He had to travel for four hours during the six hours of daytime.
He could not travel less than 30 kilometers every day.
Otherwise, he would not be able to catch the train.
This was definitely an extremely difficult test.
If he missed this train, he would have to wait for three days.
In such a harsh environment, he did not want to stay for a second longer, so he had to speed up as much as possible.
After crossing a snow slope, Bell sat on the ground and breathed heavily.
The slope of the snow slope was not big, but the snow was too hard, causing the ground to be slippery.
Bell took out a scarf from his backpack and wrapped it around his head, leaving only his eyes uncovered.
Then, he put on the down jacket and hat.
“It’s really cold here. I can’t feel my ears anymore. I suspect that it might fall off at any moment.
We have to wrap our mouths and noses tightly. If they are exposed for too long, breathing cold air will easily cause frostbite in our lungs and respiratory tract.”
Rubbing his eyes, Bell finally understood what it was like to have his eyelids freeze.
