“What’s wrong?”
The monitoring staff didn’t speak but just pointed to the screen.
Bi Fang narrowed his eyes, it was a map with green dots, one of the green dots and a golden dot were almost overlapping.
Contestant and cabin…
“Bonuo found the cabin?”
“Judging by the distance, they are less than three kilometers apart. However, it is not yet noon, so the exact location is not confirmed. If we don’t wait, it might take some effort to find it.”
The audience instantly became excited. Had someone finally found the cabin?
What on earth was inside?
Unfortunately, Bonuo was only guided by his instinct and could not find the exact location due to the obstruction of the trees, wandering around like a headless fly. Moreover, he was out of breath after a while from carrying a large amount of deer meat.
Such a pity for a deer head.
Bi Fang watched with some regret as Bonuo, with a deer head tied up with dead vines on his back, had smashed the complete deer head to make weapons, taking two separate antlers as weapons.
The idea was good, and quite cool, but it was somewhat regrettable.
Just last night, the two deer heads Bi Fang had hunted were hung separately inside the helicopter cabin, looking impressively dominant. Every passing staffer couldn’t help but stop and watch for a long time.
On the other hand, Bonuo was also very anxious. His gut told him the cabin was nearby, but no matter how much he searched, he couldn’t find it. Unfortunately, the signal flare that could confirm the exact location could only be launched at noon, so he had no choice but to wait.
This undoubtedly would waste a lot of time.
He raised his hand to look at his wristband. Although it was a 300-hour countdown, based on the timing of the signal flare from the past two days, it could roughly be used as a watch.
There were still three hours left until the second flare launch.
No way around it, just wait.
After wasting two hours, Bonuo didn’t find anything. He sat on the ground, quietly waiting for today’s flare to be launched.
Meanwhile, Ji Zuodong and Mugalen were also in hot pursuit. Undoubtedly, they were both headed towards the cabin, bold and fearless, not afraid to travel a long distance.
Would they meet each other?
This was what the viewers cared about most.
And there were those who loved chaos, hoping that the two would fight over the supplies.
There was still a long time left. Bi Fang didn’t just wait idly; he looked at the other contestants. Meanwhile, one more person had given up, which was a shame. But there was nothing to say; they were sent away directly.
As of now, only eleven were left.
At the same time, the actions of another contestant caught Bi Fang’s attention. He was supposed to build a shelter, but he was now running wildly through the woods, not appearing to be searching for food.
Was he looking for someone?
Bi Fang watched as he walked and shouted, clearly looking for other contestants.
“Because he could not endure, he chose to look for others to form an alliance? That’s not a bad choice, but isn’t he afraid of attracting some fierce wildlife with all that shouting?”
Bi Fang suspected the other was a bit of a simpleton,
Goulbin was one of those contestants who had chosen to stay and survive. He was not old, just thirty, in the prime of his life. He signed up with full confidence, but unfortunately, he got a rude awakening on his first night.
Being in the true Primeval Forest, he could not sleep at all. In the silent darkness, it felt like an unknown beast could emerge at any moment.
So much so that on the second day he gave up his original plan to traverse the wilderness and settled down to consolidate his shelter, hoping to last the twelve days. But naturally, he was educated once again.
If not for his luck, having found a squirrel nest in the afternoon of the second day and successfully obtaining two squirrels and a pile of various nuts, he might not have made it to now.
Not every time can be lucky, so on the third day, he started to consider finding teammates. More hands make light work, and perhaps there could be a way out.
As for being the champion or whatever, although he was a bit lacking, he thought the others probably weren’t much better than him.
Half an hour later, Goulbin, who was shouting in the forest, did indeed get a response.
“Hello?”
“Contestant?”
The other party didn’t rashly approach, instead choosing to converse with Goulbin across the distance.
“That’s right!” Goulbin responded impatiently, “Form a team? I think we can try to team up and then look for a cabin! Use the cabin to build a base!”
“Use a cabin to build a base?”
The other person was taken aback, obviously not expecting this kind of strategy. If it was as the crew had said, and the supply point was a cabin, then it was definitely a high-quality shelter.
The only problem was the need to cross a hundred kilometers. For those who chose to stay put like them, it was quite a difficult task indeed.
In Goulbin’s view, though it may be difficult to obtain the supplies since they were three days behind, for people yearning for survival like them, the cabin was essentially the biggest treasure!
Unfortunately, he wasn’t confident about crossing the distance alone, which was why he was looking to recruit a teammate. After proposing this idea, the person across fell silent, obviously moved by the suggestion.
Seizing the opportunity while it was hot, he continued, “Don’t worry, I haven’t brought anything, no weapons. How about we talk face-to-face?”
“Then step out, but don’t come closer. Keep a distance from me.”
This person must have supplies on hand.
Goulbin was elated internally. Their caution suggested a considerable advantage—maybe they had gained something and feared it being taken by others!
Under the watch of the drone cameras, no one dared to harm others on purpose, for fear of being seen. The main concern was someone coveting the hardly-gained supplies.
Goulbin did as he was told, and soon, the two saw each other across a stretch of forest.
Ten minutes later.
The second group formed an alliance.
Since they had allied, it was only natural to pool their resources for joint management.
The squirrel had been eaten yesterday; all Goulbin had left were some nuts, still not a small amount, around two pounds, making for a good energy supplement.
On the other hand, what the other person took out was disappointing to Goulbin: just a few bird eggs, and the small kind at that, hardly enough to fill the gaps between teeth—such a loss.
Alas, it was done, so they could only make do.
After allocating food, the two prepared the tools they had made in the past two days and set off towards the direction of the cabin, as they remembered it.
They also observed the other survivors’ struggles. When they saw the last one, the audience was shocked because the person was actually collecting urine!
And where did you get that plastic bottle?
Even Ben wasn’t aware of every contestant’s situation, so he pulled aside a monitoring staff and inquired.
“Found it?”
“Yes.”
The staff member nodded, it was probably last night, and it was just as inconceivable to them that there could be an empty plastic water bottle deep in the Rocky Mountains.
Had environmental pollution become this severe?
[Damn, I’m never littering again]
[That luck is too good]
[But are they planning to drink urine now? And to collect it?]
Because the camera avoided it, but the audience could still see the yellow liquid accumulating inside the bottle.
Ben recalled the contestant’s past and realized that apart from the morning dew, they indeed had not had water for three days.
When it comes to Wilderness Survivalist, one can’t avoid extreme circumstances, and drinking urine is one of them. It is often seen on the news that many people have survived disasters like earthquakes by relying on… such measures.
The fact that a contestant was doing so now was unexpected to everyone.
“Drinking urine indicates very grave circumstances. At least I haven’t encountered such a situation yet, and, unless it is a matter of life or death, it is generally not advisable to do so.
Drinking urine concentrated with high sodium due to dehydration can actually worsen dehydration.
Strictly speaking, drinking urine isn’t for quenching thirst, but for survival. Normally, the osmotic pressure of urine is higher than that of blood or other body fluids, and it’s even more so when thirsty.
However, the human kidneys have a powerful ability to concentrate urine. After drinking urine, the kidneys will receive some water, allowing the body to excrete metabolic waste in a more concentrated form. Drinking urine won’t alleviate thirst, but it can extend the survival period without water
The best way is still to collect the urine and distill it. If nothing else, it should at least be filtered before consumption, even simply through clothing if necessary.”
