Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? - Chapter 58
Chapter 58: Camel in Quicksand
After adjusting his mental state, Bell continued forward.
He did not forget to interact with the audience.
“In fact, the most difficult time in such a desolate environment is usually the first day or the second.”
“Of course, this is considering that you are able to maintain a positive mentality.”
“As you go further and further, plants and water sources will slowly start to appear.”
“It becomes much easier.”
“Of course, if you’re lucky, you will find it much easier.”
“Sometimes, I feel that Wilderness Survival is like a treasure hunt.”
“In the 19th century, there was a British explorer named Ramos.”
“His life experiences were very interesting.”
“Many people even called him a man favored by the Goddess of Luck.”
“I think Ramos’ most interesting adventure was when he was in the Sahara Desert.”
“His water was already used up, and he even encountered a sandstorm.”
“Under normal circumstances, these would be signs of disaster.”
“But Ramos was different from ordinary people. After this sandstorm, not only was he not dead, but when he woke up, he found an oasis and a treasure.”
“Rumor has it that the treasure was estimated to be worth nearly 90 million pounds.”
…
“Getting rich overnight really does exist.”
Bell couldn’t help but sigh.
“If you’re interested, you can check it out.”
“Of course, I don’t dare to think about becoming rich overnight, but if an oasis appears in front of me, I will feel satisfied.”
However, everyone became lively when they heard Bell.
“Oh my god, there’s actually such a thing?”
“I won’t speak further. Goodbye, everyone. Let’s meet in the desert.”
“Previous poster, I provide rescue services here. It only costs 100,000 USD to rescue you every time. Do you want to leave a phone number?”
“Haha, LMAO. Not only is he going to fail in the treasure hunt, he is even contributing to others.”
“Pull up per capita GDP.”
Looking at the strange comments on the screen, Bell shook his head helplessly.
“Alright, everyone. Although I know that you’re joking, I still advise you to be rational. This kind of situation is almost impossible to encounter.”
“Most of the survivalists in the desert have a very difficult time walking out of the desert, so it’s best not to depend on luck. After all, life is priceless.”
“Of course, if you want to try, my last suggestion is to watch my live broadcast. You can give me more hearts. After all, you might not have a chance in the future.”
Bell’s words made the audience laugh.
“F*ck, the host is too cunning. We treated you as a brother, but you actually want to take our money.”
Everyone immediately joked.
Being able to converse with people in such an environment was also a good way to ease the minds.
Time passed slowly, and soon, the sun began to set.
It was almost evening.
Some night creatures moved again.
Bell walked aimlessly while constantly looking around for food. After all, it had been a day since he ate.
He suddenly stopped.
“Everyone, look over there.”
Everyone followed Bell’s gaze.
A camel was squatting quietly in the hollow between the two sand dunes.
“A camel! The host is in for a treat this time.”
“F*ck, previous poster, are you crazy? Have you watched too many food programs? Why do you want to eat everything now?”
Bell ignored the teasing comments.
He explained.
“I think it’s not right for this camel to appear here. After all, there are no water sources or oases here.”
“Look carefully at this camel. It seems to be half-squatting there.”
“I’m guessing he fell into the quicksand.”
“We have to be careful. It’s almost certain death to fall into quicksand in such a place.”
The audience couldn’t help but be more attentive.
“Host, I heard that the feet of camels are very loose. They won’t sink into the quicksand.”
Bell saw this comment.
“Everyone, I have to warn you. Many people say that camels don’t fall into quicksand. In fact, this is completely wrong.”
“Their feet are very thick, and they are indeed suitable to walk on the sand.”
“But once they encounter the quicksand terrain, the camel will still fall into it. It’s just that because its body is relatively large, it can slow down the speed of sinking and not be completely swallowed.”
“But without external help, it will still die.”
“It cannot break free of the quicksand by relying on its own strength.”
As he spoke, Bell carefully approached the camel.
Bell took every step carefully.
“The terrain of quicksand and mire are very different.”
“On the surface, it looks like calm sand, but there are dark currents below.”
“There is constantly moving sand below the sand, and because the density of the sand is much higher than soil, it’s impossible to pull a creature like a camel out by human strength.”
“Someone has done an experiment. It takes at least 100,000 newton force to pull a person out of the quicksand.”
“Maybe you won’t understand if I say that.”
“In simpler words, if an adult falls into a quicksand, he or she will need a medium-sized car to pull them out.”
Everyone understood after hearing Bell’s explanation. They couldn’t help but gasp.
No one had expected that it would be so difficult to escape if they fell into the quicksand.
“Of course, if you really encounter such a situation, there is a way.”
“If it were just quicksand, I would have the confidence to break the camel free within three hours, but with the heat of the sand, these three hours can completely dry you out.”
The audience finally reacted.
This desert was really filled with danger.
While speaking, Bell had already walked toward the camel.
The camel that had fallen into the quicksand was not struggling as expected. Instead, it looked calmly at Bell as if it was waiting for something.
