Chapter 137: The Least Lacking Thing Is Food (Part 3!)

(I went out in the afternoon, and I'm sorry to be back now.) )

Tense his nerves, against the scorching sun, after walking for about an hour, Ye Xuan had to stop.

It was already past 12 o'clock, and the hottest time of the day had just begun. The temperature, as he had expected, soared to about 40 degrees.

The T-shirt and pants were already completely soaked with sweat, because the moisture in the air was too high, causing the sweat to evaporate very slowly, and the slimy sweat on his skin made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Wiping the sweat from his face, he shook his head and frowned, "No, I can't go on any longer." I can already feel that the core temperature in my body is getting higher and higher, and I will definitely suffer from heat stroke if I continue to walk. I'm going to find a shady place, away from the sun, and get my body temperature back to normal. ”

40 degrees is not a lot of heat for Australia, and the highest temperature on this plain once reached a terrifying 57 degrees Celsius. A survival expert once said that if you were left alone in the wilderness and didn't have proper survival skills, the death rate would be as high as 75%.

Shaking his sunburned head, Ye Xuan's eyes widened, trying to find a suitable place to rest.

That's when he spotted a huge rock about 200 meters to his left.

Pointing to the rock, Ye Xuan said, "Ladies and gentlemen, have you seen that big stone, you should be able to find shade there, let's go." ”

With that, he took the stick and walked briskly towards the rock.

Although he walked fast, he still did not let his guard down, and the wooden stick in his hand kept hitting the grass in front of him, making a series of 'pop' sounds. Snakes attack very quickly, and when a person is within range of a snake and by the time your body dodges, it has actually bitten you, and probably more than one bite.

Take the inland Taipan snake, for example, which is the fastest snake in the world, taking only 40 milliseconds per attack. It may be said that the sensation is not intuitive, for example, it takes about 200 milliseconds for a person to blink an eye. Theoretically, in the blink of an eye, the Inland Taipan Snake has already launched four or five attacks.

Not to mention that with Ye Xuan's current attributes, even if his agility attribute reaches 20 points, he can't dodge the snake's attack. So the only thing he can do is to give early warning.

Soon, he came to the boulder. The whole boulder is more than three meters high and more than ten meters long.

After years of wind and sun, the surface of the stone was pitted, and after walking around the boulder, Ye Xuan unexpectedly found that on the other side of the boulder, there was a depression below, which just blocked the sunlight. This shaded area is not big, and if he curls up, he can barely lie down in it.

Ye Xuan didn't lie down immediately, but took a wooden stick and kept beating it in the depression, while explaining in his mouth: "At noon, it is the hottest time of the day, not only me, but snakes will also find a shady place to hide from the scorching sun. I don't want to be bitten by them while I'm resting. ”

"In general, the vast majority of snakes will only attack a person when they are stimulated or frightened. The exception to this is the Brown Snake, which will aggressively attack people. Once in Alice Springs, there was a horrific incident. A middle-aged man took a nap at home, and as a result, a brown snake slipped into the room, and while the middle-aged man was asleep, the brown snake attacked him without warning and bit him three times in a row. ”

After listening to him, the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly felt a chill on their backs.

"Damn, is it so cruel?"

"I'm so scared I don't even dare to take a nap. ”

"When I was studying in Australia, there was a tiger snake that crawled down the drain from the toilet into my room. ”

"And then you got a bite on the chicken?"

"Grass mud horse, Lao Tzu is sprayed with a mouthful of soy milk. ”

"Grass, I originally wanted to travel to Australia next year, but now I am a little afraid to go. ”

"This man is really aggrieved to die. ”

"Nima, taking a nap in Australia is in danger of your life?"

After making sure that there was no poisonous snake hiding in the hollow, he took a stick and checked the nearby grass again, then put away the drone and curled up and lay in.

Since there is no wind and the humidity is very high, it still feels very hot when lying in the shade, but at least it is avoided from direct exposure to the sun. The stone below him will continuously absorb the heat in his body, slowly lowering his core body temperature to a safe line.

Curled up with his legs curled up and his head resting on his backpack, Ye Xuan let out a long breath, and then said: "It's no exaggeration to say that if you don't carry fresh water, it will only take three hours to flow here, and you will die of dehydration." The first problem that needs to be solved in order to survive here is fresh water. Even though it's the wet season, the annual rainfall here is only a measly 300 mm, so the only way to expect the rain to bring fresh water is to look for rivers and lakes as much as possible. Next, I had to use all the knowledge and skills I had learned to find water. ”

Although there is very little rainfall in Australia, the good news is that the underground rivers store a lot of fresh water. With enough skill and knowledge, fresh water can always be found.

"After the fresh water is settled, then the fire, shelter and food can be put last. Because there are no large carnivores other than saltwater crocodiles in the central plains, the need for shelter is not urgent. As for food, the last thing that is lacking here is food. ”

Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, seeing that the audience was expressing doubts, Ye Xuan explained: "There have been three ecological disasters in Australia, Australia originally had no rabbits, and when the British colonists were developing, they introduced a few European hares. Due to the good living conditions here and the absence of natural predators, rabbits begin to breed at an alarming rate. In 1932, there were more than 4 billion hares in Australia, and today, the number of hares has exceeded 10 billion. ”

"The local government, in order to curb the disaster of hares, introduced foxes. But unfortunately, instead of solving the problem of the hare, the fox has also become a disaster. Later, he was forced to use the air force to spray chemical weapons, but it was still useless, because the hares reproduce very quickly. ”

", 10 billion hares?"

"Don't say it, I'll pack up and go to Australia right now. ”

"The combat effectiveness of the Australian people is still too weak, put it in my China, and it will be eaten up for you in a few years. ”

"A few years, I'm afraid it's not a few months!"

"Last time, you tricked me into going to the desert to catch jerboas, and now you want to trick me into coming to Australia to catch hares?"

"Sell hares, three dollars a piece, three dollars ten dollars. ”

"I think the Australian government should ask us to help make sure the hares are eaten cleanly. ”

"Good boy, for the patriarch, it's just food everywhere. ”

Glancing at the screen of the mobile phone, Ye Xuan smiled: "This is just the first disaster, the second disaster is cow dung, I guess you should all know the story of Australia's introduction of shells." As for the third calamity, it is the prickly pear cactus. ”

"The prickly pear cactus is native to South America and was introduced to Australia as a potted plant in 1840. As a result, due to the climate of the central plains, which is very suitable for the growth of prickly pear cactus, in just a few decades, it has spread throughout the Northern Territory, and even encroached on 240,000 square kilometers of cultivated land, causing ecological disasters. Although the Australian government has effectively controlled the prickly pear cactus through various means, it can still be seen everywhere in the central plains. The point is that this stuff is edible, and it tastes very tasty. ”

"That's why, I put food last. ”
