Chapter 8 It will rain continuously
A few minutes later,
Xu Hao came to a few shuttle trees and stopped.
It is common sense that there must be water under the greenery.
And the well should be used frequently, so it should not be too far from the future shelter.
In addition, the shelter should be chosen in a place where there is no quicksand and red willow trees to shelter from the wind, and there is no doubt that the flat land with a slightly higher windward terrain is the best choice.
And it's less than fifty meters away from that flat place, which is a perfect distance.
In the future, if you have the ability, build an earthen fence around it, and it will be a proper northwest farm yard.
"!"
Thinking about it, Xu Hao no longer hesitated, and immediately rolled up his sleeves and dug up the shuttle tree.
Although I haven't specialized in wilderness survival before, I still know some common sense, especially in the desert, which is no longer suitable for work after eleven o'clock.
As for drilling wells?
As a doctoral student majoring in the restoration of ancient buildings on earth, this kind of work is not difficult for him at all.
After all, ancient buildings include too many things, including the structure and playing methods of some ancient wells, as long as the method is appropriate, and it is not a problem to get some labor-saving tools to make water in one day.
.......
Haishi, Tianchen Cultural Headquarters Building,
conference room
Xu Chen and the company's directors were staring closely at the big screen, which showed the pictures of the ten challengers in their respective areas.
"Mr. Xu, Xu Hao.... The luck was a little worse, and the worst oasis was chosen, and it is estimated that it will not last long! ”
Wang Wu, the director of the marketing department, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Xu Hao start digging up the shuttle tree.
In his opinion,
Xu Hao didn't cut down trees and build shelters as soon as possible, and he was probably ready to quit the challenge.
Now the symbolic digging is just to not lose face and lose too much.
"He? I never thought he would last more than three days, but what about the other fighters? The other players all withdrew from the competition after a few days,"
Xu Chen glanced at the information sent by the staff just now, and rubbed his eyebrows in great distress.
It's normal for one or two players to quit, but if all the players quit, that is, there is a problem with the organizer.
"Someone else? Mr. Xu, there should be no problem with the other players! ”
Wang Wu looked puzzled.
"Look at the information I received just now, there may be a continuous heavy rainfall in the northwest of the Dragon Kingdom in the next fourteen days, and it will last for a long time! Right within our challenge zone. ”
"It's going to rain for a while?"
Wang Wu was stunned.
In recent years, the climate in the northwest has indeed been much wetter than that of 10,000 years, but this kind of rain is still extremely rare.
But after thinking about it, Wang Wu felt that there was nothing,
"Mr. Xu, the contestants this time basically brought tarps and sleeping bags, and the shelter they built should be able to block the rain this time."
"It's okay to keep out the rain, but what about the temperature? It rains for several days in the desert on a night, and the temperature is likely to drop below zero at night, and when it rains, the rain will douse the wood and make a fire! ”
Xu Chen leaned back in his chair.
That's what worries him the most.
Because it is a challenge in the desert, these challengers wear very thin clothes, and once the body loses temperature, the consequences are unimaginable.
"This ....."
Wang Wu also became a lot more dignified when he heard this.
"Mr. Xu, what should I do now? The challenge has begun.... It is unrealistic to avoid this rain and continue to do it. ”
"In this way, you can ask the staff to notify these players in a while, tell them about the weather conditions in the next fourteen days, and let them prepare as soon as possible, and how much dry firewood they can store!"
After a long time, Xu Chen sighed.
There doesn't seem to be a good way at the moment, I just hope that these wilderness survival masters can have their own means of heating.
"Okay, I'll go and tell you!"
"Wait, is that voting channel ready?"
Just when Wang Wu turned around to leave, Xu Chen suddenly thought of something and asked again.
It turned out that in order to create a gimmick and drainage for this wilderness survival, Tianchen Culture specially held an online voting activity.
Each citizen's ID number can vote for one of their favorite contestants.
If the contestant can really persist in the desert for 100 days and succeed in the challenge, Tianchen Culture will randomly select ten lucky viewers from these voting audiences.
Each of the 10 lucky spectators will receive a cheering prize of $500,000.
"Mr. Xu, it's ready!"
Wang Wu nodded.
"That's good, the voting channel will officially open at 12 o'clock at noon!"
"Hmm!"
.......
The so-called layman looks at the lively, and the insider looks at the doorway,
At eleven o'clock in the afternoon,
The number of viewers in the official live broadcast room has reached 6 million, setting a new high for wilderness survival challenge programs.
At this time, there was not much talk about Xu Hao's voice on the public screen, but kept talking about the shelter of other players.
Because in their opinion, Xu Hao is already a broken jar, and people who don't even build shelters are not worth paying attention to at all, and it is estimated that the live broadcast will be launched tonight, and the traffic will be officially announced to withdraw from the competition tomorrow.
"Master Pei, is this going to build a triangular shack kind of shelter?"
"At first glance, it should be A-shaped! And this time, all the challengers should have built an A-shaped shelter, and the square shape could not withstand the wind and sand of the Tengli Desert. ”
"But is his progress a little slower?"
"Hehe, no way, who let Bei Ye and Populus Hu consume it? What species is Populus euphratica? A thousand years will not fall! Trees are naturally hard to cut! Look at De Ye and Matt, they chose Dry Willow, and the progress is much faster!
Especially Matt, the basic tripod has been erected, as long as the four corners are fixed with a tarp, the shelter is formed! ”
"If you spend poplar, you will consume poplar, so I don't worry about Bei Ye, with Bei Ye's strength, even if Bei Ye doesn't have a shelter, he can last for a few days."
"That's it, didn't you see that Bei Ye had already gained a lot when he was cutting down trees?"
"Huh? What did he gain? ”
"A hedgehog and a few desert scorpions were harvested, at least tomorrow's rations are available."
"So strong? Bei Ye is really Bei Ye! ”
"That must!"
Just when there were more and more comments on the public screen, a colorful pop-up window instantly ignited the atmosphere of the audience in the live broadcast room again.
"What? Is the official voting channel open? ”
"So what are you waiting for! Just cast with your eyes closed. ”
The audience in the live broadcast room of the voting event has long known that although in the end, even if the contestant who guesses the success of the challenge will be randomly selected, but in their eyes, this activity is much more reliable than the lottery.
At least true!
"Who are you going to vote for?"
"Needless to say! Of course, choose one from Bei Ye, De Ye and Matt, as for the others.... Well, I'll leave it to you! ”
"What? So sure? ”
"No way!"
"If you want me to say that apart from that Xu Hao, don't underestimate any other players, take Zhu Qiang, who looks the weakest, for example, his shelter is about to take shape in just one morning, and now he is tying a tarp to the shelter, what's the difference?"
