Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? - Chapter 51

Chapter 51: The Correct Way to Maintain Water Content

Due to the large amount of gifts from the fans, the gift bags were distributed across the entire platform.

A large number of the audience entered Bell’s live-stream.

However, some of the audience who had just arrived could not understand what was going on.

Some helpful fans answered the questions for Bell.

This saved Bell a lot of trouble.

At the same time, Bell noticed that there was a fan named Scarlett Johansson with the fan tag

She organized fans for Bell and acted as the moderator.

Bell’s intuition told him that this fan was most likely Scarlett herself.

He appointed her as the moderator.

On the other end of the screen, Scarlett Johansson was stunned for a moment when she saw the notification of Bell giving her the position of the moderator. Then, she smiled.

“He’s quite attentive.”

With the authority to moderate the channel, Scarlett Johansson worked even harder to help Bell arrange the atmosphere in the live-stream.

Bell began to walk in the direction he had set.

It was already ten in the morning.

The sunlight in the desert was not yet at its pick.

…

But as time passed, the temperature in the desert would continue to rise.

In fact, it was already happening.

Bell felt like he had entered an oven.

In addition to the intense exercise earlier, Bell’s clothes were almost drenched.

At the same time, he was dizzy.

Left with no choice, Bell could only stop temporarily.

He took off his T-shirt.

Then, he tore it and wrapped it around his head and neck.

From a distance, it looked like the attire of an Arab.

“Host, this is a little comical. Why are you tearing your clothes and wearing them?”

Some of the audience were very puzzled.

Bell took out his canteen and took a small sip before carefully putting it back.

He did not have a lot of water. The production team only filled half the canteen with water.

It was not enough to do anything in this desert. He had to save as much as possible.

Bell explained after seeing the comments.

“The reason I did this was to lower the temperature.”

The audience was stunned.

Shouldn’t the temperature be lower by exposing the skin to the outside? Wouldn’t it be hotter if he wrapped it tightly with clothes?

“Everyone might think it’s strange seeing me like this. In fact, it’s because the heat we usually feel is different from the heat in the desert.”

“In normal summer, everyone will take off their jacket or clothes when it’s too hot.”

“This can make you feel cooler.”

“But in fact, this is an illusion. In a big city, the weather is mild and there is wind.”

“That’s why you think it’s cooler to expose your skin.”

“But if it’s in the desert, I suggest that you don’t do this, because it might cost you your lives.”

“The temperature in the desert is very high. Under high temperatures, you will sweat a lot.”

“Perhaps you will feel cool when you take off your clothes, but soon, the sweat on your body will evaporate, and the high temperature in the desert will continue to make you sweat.”

“In this situation, you will completely dehydrate in less than an hour.”

“Then faint from heat stroke.”

“What would the result be if you fainted from heatstroke in this environment? I believe I don’t need to say much.”

Bell felt thirsty again. Then, he quickly took the water canteen from his waist and drank another sip.

He continued to explain to the audience.

“Therefore, I suggest that everyone try their best to cover their skin.”

“Although this will make you feel uncomfortable, the evaporation of the sweat in your clothes will be much slower.”

“At the same time, a large amount of water can block your pores and prevent you from losing water quickly.”

“This is also why most people who live in the surrounding cities or countries will choose to wear a scarf or long dress.”

The audience finally understood.

“So there’s such a thing. I always thought that the clothes were different because of the different customs.”

“Previous poster, the truth is that the changes in the clothes of various countries are due to the environment. This is similar to biological evolution.”

“Professional! Boss Bell!”

Through Bell’s explanation, the new audience who had come due to the gifts were instantly attracted.

Although they had also been watching Wilderness Survival in other live-streams, they only knew the hows but not the whys. Even when faced with questions from fans, the streamers usually could not explain the reason. Seeing someone like Bell who explained it so comprehensively was the first.

Immediately, the new audience were attracted and stayed behind.

Bell’s fans increased again.

A dry wind blew.

He felt like his skin was about to split open like dry ground.

Although he was constantly taking small sips of water, his lips were turning pale and cracked.

In fact, it was not suitable to speak much in the desert.

But he had to continue the interaction and explain his actions as clearly as possible to get more fans.

While Bell was moving towards his goal, the comments were already heatedly discussing.

“Everyone, let me tell you bad news. There are already contestants who have withdrawn from the competition because of dehydration.”

“Just now, I saw that contestant. Just like the host said, he took off his clothes because he was too hot, and now, he’s waiting for rescue.”

As the comments were posted, some curious fans went over to take a look and saw that the said contestant was lying on the ground, looking like he was on his last breath.

It had been less than two hours since the contestants landed, but someone had already been eliminated.

The fans who came from Bell’s live-stream gasped when they saw this.

Good lord, this contestant’s appearance was not different from what Bell had said.

Bell also saw the comments. After hearing about the contestant, he shook his head helplessly.

Only those who knew about Wilderness Survival knew that the greatest danger had never been the poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts, but the environment created by nature.

Looking at the sun, Bell said, “In this extreme environment, if you don’t grasp the correct survival technique, it’s actually very difficult to live a day.”
