Chapter 31: Survival

Shennongjia is the world's most complete green treasure in the middle latitudes, rich in flora and fauna, presenting a subtropical forest climate, different altitudes, its seasonality is also different, in Shennongjia can feel the changes of the four seasons.

At this moment, Yu You and Bell, Qiao and others came to the foot of a mountain peak in Shennongjia, this peak is estimated to be 1700 meters high, surrounded by lofty mountains, full of life, and after entering the no man's land, the next thing to face is to survive in this area for a week.

All food sources have to be found in this mountain forest, for Bell, this kind of test is commonplace, the experienced Bell can find a suitable way to survive here, but Yu You's ability remains to be investigated!

In order to prevent accidents, there is a temporary command center at the foot of the mountain, which reports the situation of the two people at any time, and there are as many as two photographers who follow Bell and Yu You respectively, they will carry supplies and emergency medical kits, in order to ensure the safety of the two people, there will be several aerial photography instruments in this area to work.

A perfect shoot, not only the protagonist in the video, but also many behind-the-scenes workers, the professionalism of Bell's team surprised Yu You extremely much, and when he was about to go deep into the forest, Yu You met the cameraman who followed him, this is a black man about thirty years old, very strong, nearly two meters tall, his name is Johansen.

"Hey man, you used to play basketball?" Yu You took the initiative to shake hands with Johansen, Johansen smiled honestly and said: "Yes, I used to be a bench player in the NBA for a few years, and then changed my career to be a videographer, hello, You, I am very happy to cooperate with you." ”

Yu You and Johansen had to act together for the next week, but the difference was that Johansen didn't have to think about his own food, his backpack was full of dry food, he just had to film Yu You's expedition, and of course, if necessary, he would rescue Yu You.

After all, the effect of the show is one thing, Yu You, who participated in the filming, is just a guest invited by Bell, if there is a life safety, whether it is for the program team itself, or the pressure of public opinion, Johansen can't bear it, losing his job is secondary, Yu You is in danger, so he can't pass that level in his heart.

The two made a brief contact, and after getting acquainted, Bell said, "You, let's go!" "Because he has seen the performance of swimming against crocodiles, Bell is still very relieved of his safety, and with so many backup plans, accidents will happen, but they will be within the controllable range.

"Good! Let's go! Yu You, Bell, Qiao, and Johansen advanced into the hinterland of Shennongjia, and there were as many as 1,000 species of animals in this area, more than 3,000 kinds of plants, and many large carnivores, which made the expedition more dangerous.

Their goal is to jump over Shennongjia in a week, climb over the mountains, and reach the designated pick-up location, where they will pass through many areas, so as soon as Bell enters the hinterland, he begins to look for something to eat, and replenishing his strength at any time is the nirvana of Bell's survival in the wild.

The natural resources here are abundant, and it is relatively much easier to find food than the ice fields and deserts that Bell has visited, and Bell soon discovered good food.

A rotten piece of wood was cut open by him, Bell picked out a few larvae from it, and showed them in front of the camera very excitedly, watching him chew, Yu You couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach, when Bell took one for Yu You to try, Yu You found the existence of mushrooms nearby, which is an edible wild mushroom, Yu You said: "Bell, I am not blessed with larvae, but I don't know if you are interested in drinking the mushroom soup I made?" ”

"Swim, in the wild, you are in a situation where you can be targeted by predators at any time, so keep your strength up, eating larvae looks disgusting, in fact it has a higher protein content than beef! And, you see, in such a humid environment now, it's very difficult to start a fire. Yu You's lack of experience in surviving in the wild didn't see the situation clearly, no matter what Bell said, Yu You still rejected his good intentions and picked mushrooms by himself.

Everyone continued to advance, intending to find a suitable place to settle at night, Yu You suddenly found a big tree, and immediately became excited, and said: "This is a yew, get some bark first, I heard that it is a carcinogenic elixir." "There are many ancient species in Shennongjia, and it is not strange that Yu You can find yew, and he made some bark and roots into the backpack, Yu You and the others did not stay, because it was not far from nightfall, and the shelter should be built in advance.

You must know that there are a lot of predators in Shennongjia at night, although they have not encountered large predators during this time, but judging from the complexity of the terrain here, I don't know where to hide.

Bell pointed to a cave and said, "You, there's a cave here, I'm going to find out." Bell used the pine velvet he picked up on the road to make a torch, and the saber slashed through the flint and steel to produce sparks and then lit the torch, Bell turned on the night vision camera with one hand, and probed the cave with the torch in the other.

After a while, Bell came out, and the torches were burned out, Bell said: "You, this cave seems to have been inhabited by bears before, judging from the dryness and wetness of the feces left, it seems that it has been a long time, it should be an empty cave for the time being, let's live here tonight." ”

"Okay, then let's go find some dry wood." Yu You and Bell found some dry wood nearby, and after some hard work, they lit a bonfire in the cave, and Yu You, Bell and the others, who had a shelter, began to be busy with tonight's food.

There are no meat dishes! When Bell was looking for wood, he had already designed simple traps, but when Bell went to check, the 10 traps he set up got an unexpected harvest - two mountain rats!

"Haha, swim, luckily, caught two mountain rats, we have a good mouth tonight." Mountain rats are considered a rare delicacy in the wild, and after Yu You processed them, they were skewered with tree branches and began to bake.

Then he boiled a pot of rock wall spring water in a marching kettle, cleaned the mushrooms, and put in the mushrooms after the water boiled, and the aroma suddenly spread.

"Bell, I guess you didn't bring spices." Yu You was like a trick, he brought salt, spices and other spices in his backpack, and in order to eat food in the wild, Yu You, who carried the seasonings privately, waited for the permission of the camera crew because he didn't know it.

The umami flavor of the mushroom soup with seasonings such as salt is further enhanced, and the meat of the rat meat in the barbecue is also enhanced by several levels of flavor thanks to these seasonings.

Joe and Johansen, who were gnawing on dry food, couldn't help but take a few bites, Bell was used to eating in front of the cameraman, and had no idea of sharing, and Yu You looked at Johansen and Joe with a longing expression, so he took the mushroom soup that he hadn't finished drinking and handed it to them, and said, "It's too shabby for you to gnaw on dry food, drink some mushroom soup." ”

"No, it's not in order."

Yu You didn't say a word, turned off all the cameras, and then said: "It's okay now, my amount of food is not big, the rest is for you, I'll sleep." ”

Johansen and Joe were very moved, and ate the remaining mountain rat meat and mushroom soup, Bell couldn't help but shake his head, he understood that Yu You must not have eaten enough, you must know that they just ate this meal today, basically Yu You didn't eat anything during the day, but Bell ate a lot of larvae, and his energy was replenished.

Bell commented in his heart: "You, this person still doesn't understand the cruelty of survival in the wild, and he may suffer tomorrow." ”

Without sufficient energy, it is necessary to maintain a day of walking in tropical climate conditions, and the physical strength consumed is so great that it will cause dizziness and other negative states in Yu You.

After a tiring day, everyone slept, and although it was extremely uncomfortable in the cave, it was much better than blowing the wind outside, and in order to ensure the temperature inside the cave, it was necessary to take care of the campfire.

Falling asleep in a groggy state this night, as soon as the day dawned, Bell went out to look for food, as an experienced professional explorer of wilderness survival, in order not to let Yu You walk in a hungry state, Bell had to work hard to take care of Yu You.

"Johansen, where have they been, Bell and Joe?"

"Like, go find something to eat, tell me to tell you not to wander around, they'll be back in a moment." Yu Youzai added firewood to the campfire, boiled a pot of water, and boiled the bark of the yew tree in the backpack for breakfast.

Yu You, who drank a pot of yew bark soup, felt even hungrier, and Yu You, who was weak, realized that it was not easy to survive in the wild.

"I'm sorry, we shouldn't have eaten your portion of food last night, or you might as well have some chocolate." Johansen noticed that Yu You was not in good shape, so he took out chocolate and asked Yu You to replenish his strength.

"No, I can withstand it." The stubborn Yu You didn't want to break the rules of the show again, so he had to endure hunger, and at this moment, a bear roar outside the cave attracted the attention of Yu You and Johansen.

Yu You chuckled in his heart and said, "There are bears here?" "The species diversity of Shennongjia is not understandable to Yu You, I didn't expect there to be bears, but I don't know what kind of bear? Bear? Grizzly bear? Black bear?

And listening to the voice that seemed to be Johansson's direction in which Bell and they went to find food, Yu You was worried about the safety of Bell, Joe and others, and said to Joe: "Let's go and see!" Didn't Bell say that this was originally a bear's lair? Maybe it's still nearby, and it's dangerous for Bell to run into it. ”

Johansen was also worried about the safety of the two, so he hurriedly followed, Yu You seemed to forget the feeling of hunger, and wanted to save Bell and Joe.

Humans have encountered bears, and if they don't have guns in hand, the probability of survival is too low, so we can only pray that Bell can deal with it wittily, after all, the face of winning is too small to face off against bears.
