Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness

Bi Fang briefly explained on the map the predicament faced by the contestants, the options for their routes through the four cardinal directions—northeast, southwest—and unintentionally gave the viewers quite a shock.

In Bi Fang’s mouth, these were four paths that could lead to human habitation, but why did they feel like dead ends to the viewers?

Heading east meant traveling dozens of kilometers, while going west spanned across the entire mountain range, the south had large swamps to contend with, and the north was covered with forests and grasslands.

Something was off, very off!

“Can they even make it out of there? Is Master Fang sure these are routes and not deathtraps?”

“Although Master Fang’s tone is very calm, this vibe of a behind-the-scenes boss designing a death game, wanting to see them die in the wilderness, why is it so strong? It must be an illusion, definitely an illusion!”

“Experience despair! Experience pain, if you want to challenge my throne, you’re too weak!”

“Do they know where they are? Is it the same as with Old Fang, where they didn’t even know their location?”

“They must know, right? Didn’t Old Fang mention it when they got off the plane? Besides, not knowing the place would be way too unfriendly, that would be actual murder.”

While the audience was still discussing the dangers of the Rocky Mountains, the contestants had already sprung into action. If they didn’t set up tents and start fires soon, it would be too late.

A stable and warm shelter could take hours to build.

The fastest mover was Ji Zuolin because he was the only one with a weapon at hand—a Claw Knife. Though the blade was small, barely five or six centimeters, it was enough to cut through some branches.

In less than ten minutes, he had gathered four or five sticks thick as a baby’s arm, stripped off the bark to use as cordage, and began assembling the main structure of his tent. This kind of main structure might not be the most stable, but it was quick to erect.

“Because it’s getting dark, the temperature could have already dropped below zero. It’s fine if they keep moving, but once they want to sleep, the clothes on the contestants won’t be enough. I’ve talked about hypothermia before,”

“If a contestant’s core body temperature drops below 35°C for more than ten minutes, we will automatically judge them to have failed the challenge and initiate a rescue operation.”

“35°C? That condition seems too stringent, doesn’t it?”

Many viewers felt that reaching 35°C could be easily accomplished by just catching a bit of chill, signaling that contestants could easily be eliminated by accident.

“Pay attention to my words. I’m talking about core body temperature, not skin temperature. The core body temperature is different from peripheral temperature. The liver is the main organ of heat production in the human body. Therefore, the core body temperature refers to the internal temperature of the body, simply put, inside your belly.

To maintain normal metabolism, core body temperature fluctuates very little. It is usually about 1°C higher than peripheral temperature. In other words, our bodies are in a state of ‘fever’ every day.

The normal human body temperature is between 36°C to 37°C, which means the core body temperature is around 37°C. A core temperature of 35°C is already 2°C below the normal range. Some people may experience spasms, not to mention the premise of exceeding ten minutes, which can be extremely dangerous.”

Bi Fang’s expression turned quite serious. If the core body temperature remains below the threshold for more than ten minutes, it’s highly probable that they can’t recover on their own and external intervention would be required.

By evening, there’s no need for a hospital; it’s straight to the mortuary.

“To measure the body temperature accurately, we’ve equipped each contestant with a thermal belt around their waist, which avoids interference from humidity and external environment. Contestants are not allowed to remove it on their own, or else they will be considered eliminated,”

As he spoke, Bi Fang swiped the screen, displaying another set of data showing each contestant’s body temperature. There were fluctuations, but it was stable; after all, the live broadcast had just started, and the contestants were in good health, unlikely to encounter problems so soon.

To ensure the program runs smoothly, he had put in great efforts.

First was fairness. Besides the equipment issued by the show, contestants had to undergo a thorough check, men by men, women by women.

It must be said that these people are really good at hiding things; those who appear to have nothing on them often turn out to be carrying a bunch of tools, even a short rope is tucked away.

Next are the various emergency teams, one group is the medical team responsible for first aid, another is the security team tasked with preventing attacks from large animals, there is also a monitoring team in charge of tracking each contestant’s movements, and notifying them at the first sign of danger, plus several helicopters at the ready to ensure a rapid arrival at the scene.

After listening to Bi Fang’s introduction, many viewers felt deeply touched; they used to think watching Master Fang braving the wilderness alone was cool, but they hadn’t realized how dangerous it was.

Keep in mind that nearly every time Bi Fang goes live, apart from a camera and some equipment, he never brings things like a positioning bracelet that the rescue teams might use, facing dangers all by himself.

He truly embodies the very essence of adventure, no wonder so many people are willing to acknowledge him as the world’s number one adventurer, the true king of the wilderness, a solitary hero.

After a few brief words, the camera returned to the fifteen contestants.

Bi Fang quickly took stock and found that only three people were immediately setting up their shelters, the remaining eleven were all working hard to start a fire, and as for the last one—

The camera switched to Mugalen, who at that moment was attempting to open a canned food…

His style was different from everyone else’s; as soon as he disembarked from the plane, he thought about opening a can.

“Haha, it seems our Deer Hunter thinks differently from the others, wanting to eat something first to warm up the body. Military rations are high in calories and sodium; just a little can provide a lot of energy.”

Bi Fang couldn’t help but laugh; if it were anyone else, there’s no way the can would be opened right now, it would at least be saved for a day or two when no game could be caught and used as emergency food, not like Mugalen at the present moment.

A good number of viewers were puzzled, wondering why the can was so difficult to open.

Isn’t there a pull-tab?

“Because this is a real military can,”

Bi Fang explained after taking a sip of water. Many people have never seen a real military can and are completely unaware of its packaging. Many so-called military cans available on the market, whether or not they’re genuine, usually have pull-tabs after processing.

“Military food basically doesn’t have pull-tabs; it’s not suitable. The easier it is to open, the less suitable it is for off-road transport. Too easy, and it might deform, opening and leaking air, leading to spoilage.

Moreover, if you work with a green cylindrical object trying to open it with a pull-tab in poor night visibility, it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings. At best, you might get knocked down by a rifle’s buttstock, at worst, everyone may duck down or it might even prompt an alarm in the camp.

So military cans are generally made to be sealed, which is convenient for the manufacturer, low cost, and more durable. There are many benefits. When it’s time to open them, if you have a can opener, use that; if not, just insert a knife and scrape around the edge, which is also very convenient.”

[Holy cow, what a revelation! This is the first time I’m hearing about this.]

[Useless knowledge, increased.]

[Awesome, finally someone who knows what they’re talking about! Whenever I watched those bloggers test cans, I felt like saying they weren’t authentic at all!]

[To be fair, if you’re not careful, opening a pull-tab really does sound a bit like gunfire!]

Many viewers had their eyes opened—the absence of pull-tabs on military cans is indeed something very few ordinary people would know about, or even if they knew, they wouldn’t fully understand why.

Meanwhile, Mugalen still couldn’t get the can open and had to search for a somewhat sharp rock to assist him.

The camera continued to switch back and forth as Bi Fang commented on each contestant’s methods. By the time he finished with the last one, out of the sixteen originally dark screens, suddenly one switched back to daylight mode.

Someone had started a fire.
