Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness

Chapter 289: Chapter 286: The Second Squad

“What’s wrong?”

The monitoring staff didn’t speak but simply pointed at the screen.

Bi Fang’s eyes narrowed, it was a green dot map, with a green dot and a gold dot nearly overlapping.

Contestants and the cabin…

“Did Bonuo find the cabin?”

“Judging by the distance, they are now less than three kilometers apart, but it’s not yet twelve days, the exact location is still unconfirmed, if he doesn’t wait, it might take some effort to find it.”

The audience instantly became excited, had someone finally found the cabin?

What exactly was inside?

Unfortunately, Bonuo was only drawing near to the cabin by intuition, and under the cover of the trees, he couldn’t find the exact location, buzzing around like a headless fly, and with a heavy load of deer meat on his back, he was soon out of breath.

Such a pity for a deer head.

Bi Fang watched regretfully as Bonuo tied up a deer head with withered vines behind him, to make weapons, Bonuo had smashed the complete deer head and took two separated antlers as weapons.

The idea was good, and fairly cool, it just felt a bit of a pity.

The two deer heads Bi Fang had hunted last night had already been hung in the helicopter cabin, looking impressively dominant, every passing staff member couldn’t help but stop and watch for a long time.

On the other side, Bonuo was also anxious, his instincts telling him the cabin was nearby, but no matter what, he couldn’t find it. However, he had to wait until noon when the signal flare would be fired to confirm its exact whereabouts.

This would undoubtedly waste a lot of time.

He looked at his wristband, although it was a 300-hour countdown, he could roughly use it as a watch based on the timing of the signal flares over the past two days.

Three more hours to go before the second signal flare was fired.

No choice but to wait.

After two exhausting hours, Bonuo found nothing, he sat on the ground, quietly waiting for today’s signal flare.

Meanwhile, Ji Zuodong and Bonuo were racing to catch up, without a doubt, they were both heading for the cabin. Admiring courage and skill, they naturally weren’t afraid of a longer trek.

Would they meet?

That was what the audience cared about most.

Some, hoping for chaos, wished the two would fight over the resources.

There was still a long time left, Bi Fang didn’t just wait idly, but instead checked on a few other contestants. During this time, another gave up, which was quite regrettable, but there was nothing to say, just sent him away.

Until now, only eleven remained.

At the same time, the actions of another contestant caught Bi Fang’s attention. He was one who decided to stay and build a shelter. However, at this moment, he was scurrying all over the forest, apparently not looking for food.

Was he looking for someone?

Bi Fang watched him as he walked and shouted, obviously searching for other contestants.

“Has he chosen to seek an alliance with others because it’s hard to keep going? That’s not a bad choice, but isn’t he afraid of attracting some fierce beasts by shouting like that?”

Bi Fang suspected the man was a bit of a simpleton,

Goulbin was one of the contestants who chose to stay back and survive, young and just thirty, truly in the prime of his strength, he signed up full of confidence. Unfortunately, he was taught a lesson on the very first night.

Being in the real primeval forest, he couldn’t sleep at all, the silent darkness seeming to hide unknown wild beasts at any moment.

So much so that on the second day, he dismissed his original plan of traversing the wilderness and honestly fortified his shelter, ready to endure the twelve days. Naturally, he got educated again.

If it weren’t for good luck, finding a squirrel’s nest on the second afternoon, capturing two squirrels and a pile of various nuts, he might not have made it this far.

But you can’t always be lucky, so from the start of the third day, he began to consider finding teammates. Strength in numbers, they might have a way to survive.

As for being number one, although a bit of a stretch for him, Goulbin thought the others were probably not much better than himself.

Half an hour later, Goulbin shouting in the forest did indeed get a response.

“Hello?”

“A contestant?”

The other party didn’t rashly approach, talking to Goulbin across a distance.

“That’s right!” Goulbin was somewhat excited, “Form a team? I think we should try teaming up and then go look for the cabin! Use the cabin to set up a base!”

“Use the cabin to set up a base?”

The other party was momentarily confused, clearly not expecting this move. If it was as the production team said and the supply point was a cabin, then it would definitely be a high-quality shelter.

The only problem was the need to traverse a hundred kilometers, which was quite a difficult task for those who had chosen to stay put.

In Goulbin’s view, getting supplies might be difficult since they were already three days behind, but in the eyes of those seeking survival, the cabin was actually the biggest treasure!

Unfortunately, he was not confident in crossing alone, which is why he was pulling in teammates. After he made the suggestion, the other person fell silent, obviously moved by it.

He struck while the iron was hot, continuing, “You don’t have to worry, I didn’t bring anything, no weapons. How about we talk face to face?”

“Then step out, don’t come closer, stay away from me.”

This person had supplies on hand.

Goulbin felt joy inside, it seemed the other person was quite strong, or else why so cautious? They must have gained something and feared it would be taken by others!

Under the drone’s lens, nobody dared to harm others intentionally, fearing to be encountered by others. The only worry was about having the hard-won supplies stolen.

Goulbin did as told, and soon enough, they saw each other across a stretch of forest.

Ten minutes later.

The second group allied.

Since they formed an alliance, of course, they had to take out their supplies and plan together.

The squirrel had been eaten yesterday, leaving Goulbin with only some nuts, quite a lot actually, about two pounds, which was a great energy supplement.

However, what the other party brought out was somewhat disappointing to Goulbin: just a few bird eggs, and very small ones at that. They were not even enough to fill the gaps in one’s teeth, a total loss.

Alas, there was no helping it. The deal was done. It had to be this way.

After they distributed the food simply, both gathered the tools they made in the past two days and headed towards the cabin as they remembered it.

Viewers kept watching the struggle of the other survivors, and when they got to the last one, they were surprised, as that person was actually collecting urine!

Also, where did that plastic bottle come from?

Ben wasn’t aware of every viewer’s situation in real-time. He pulled aside a staff member to inquire.

“Found it?”

“Yes.”

The staff member nodded, probably from last night. It was inconceivable, deep in the Rocky Mountains, to find an empty plastic water bottle.

Had environmental pollution become this severe?

[Dang, I’m never littering again.]

[That luck is way too good.]

[But are they planning to drink urine? Even collecting it?]

Because they avoided the cameras, viewers could still see the yellow liquid accumulating in the bottle.

Ben recalled this player’s past and realized he hadn’t drunk water for three days, except for dew every morning.

Speaking of Wilderness Survivalist, one can’t avoid extreme conditions, and drinking urine is one of those measures. It’s common in the news to hear about people surviving earthquakes by doing so…

Now, watching a contestant actually do this was unexpected for everyone.

“Drinking urine is a very dire situation. At least I haven’t encountered it yet, and I don’t recommend it unless one’s life is in critical danger.

Because when dehydrated, drinking urine, already concentrated with high levels of sodium due to dehydration, might worsen dehydration.

Strictly speaking, urine drinking is not for quenching thirst but for survival. Usually, the osmotic pressure of urine is higher than that of blood or other body fluids, and it’s even higher when one is thirsty.

However, the human kidney has a strong capacity to concentrate urine. After drinking it, the kidneys will obtain some water, allowing the body to excrete metabolic wastes in an even more concentrated form. Drinking urine does not relieve thirst but can extend survival during a waterless period.

The best method is still to distill the urine after collecting it, or at the very least, filter it before drinking, even if it’s just a simple filtration with clothing.”

Ben explained briefly.

But the competitor didn’t seem to have really made up their mind. After looking for a while, they screwed the bottle cap shut. Many viewers breathed a sigh of relief, yet there was also a hint of disappointment, as if they were hoping for something to happen.
