Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? Chapter 183 – : Life and Death Crisis, Cold Lake Water

Bell’s hand was not idle.

Ped and the man also took out their daggers and used them as axes.

The three of them worked for half an hour and finally made a few wooden boards that they could step on.

After using the dagger to cut the two wooden planks about 15 centimeters square, Bell tied them to his shoes with the parachute rope.

He tested them and realized that the effect was not bad.

Because of the increased contact area, the few of them did not have to walk too deep on the snow. It saved them from having to use a lot of effort to lift their legs.

Bell smiled.

“To be honest, the effect is much better than I thought.

Although it took us some time to make this thing, I believe that with this thing, our speed will at least double.

In that case, we have profited.

Alright, it’s time for us to move forward.”

The three of them walked on the lake like they had a limp. Although it was a little funny, their speed was indeed much faster.

The lake was nearly twenty kilometers long. It would have previously taken Bell four hours to walk.

However, the three of them were near the edge of the lake in less than two hours and saw the forest opposite.

Because they were walking on the frozen lake and there was nothing blocking their view, their vision was very wide.

In addition, they had a full meal yesterday and were in good spirits.

“Look at that forest. As long as we successfully step into that forest, we will officially enter inland Alaska.

The deeper we go, the higher the temperature will be.

However, this is not necessarily good news, because some large predators will also appear when the temperature increases.

For example, the brown bears and black bears that live in Alaska.

The population of the black bears here is the largest in the whole world.

It is one of the larger bears.

Male black bears can reach 2.5 meters tall and weigh 300 kilograms. ”

“There are many black bear attacks in North America every year.

It is the same for the brown bear, although the cases of brown bear attacks are much lesser.

However, no matter what, I am unwilling to encounter it.

In front of such a big guy, I will probably be slapped apart.

During this season, brown bears and black bears will come out to hunt because they need to store a lot of fat in their bodies to survive the cold winter.

Let’s be more careful. ”

Bell gestured for the audience to keep quiet.

The audience seemed to be there themselves.

They could not help but feel nervous.

As the few of them advanced, Bell felt the snow under his feet decrease, and the ice became thinner. He could even hear creaking sounds when he stepped on it.

It was the crisp sound of the ice being unable to withstand the weight of a human body.

Crack ~ Crack ~

A crisp sound of ice cracking sounded under Bell’s feet.

The three of them became nervous and did not dare to move.

This sound was not a good sign.

This meant that the ice under their feet had cracked.

If they continued forward, they might fall into this bone-chilling lake.

Bell’s brows furrowed.

“Did everyone hear that? That’s the sound of the ice on the lake cracking.

This proves that there is an undercurrent in the lake below us.

If it were just the still lake water, the ice would not be so fragile.

We are less than 300 meters away from the other side, but we cannot continue forward like this.

Otherwise, we will definitely fall. ”

Just as they were about to cross the lake, they encountered this situation. Bell was in a bad mood.

Ped and the thin man did not dare to act rashly.

They were all survivalists and knew very well what the consequences would be if they fell into this ice lake.

The sun had just risen, and the temperature was still around -20 degrees.

If they fell into the lake, they would probably become human popsicles.

Bell was in an awkward situation. He could not move forward, but he could not retreat either.

Because the cracked ice under their feet seemed to have reached a critical point. Once they focused their strength on one foot and moved forward, the sudden increase in weight would immediately cause them to fall into the lake. “Our current situation is very awkward.

If we fall into the lake in this temperature, the chances of survival are less than 20%. ”

Bell looked at the camera in the live-stream and said solemnly.

“I remember that an explorer from America once encountered a river in the Arctic Circle.

This guy placed his hand in the river for only 30 seconds. When he took his hand out again, it was already numb from the cold.

The little finger on his hand was seriously frostbitten. In order to not worsen the situation, he could only cut off the little finger. ”

Bell glanced at Ped and the man behind him.

Then, he estimated the distance.

If he ran at full speed for 300 meters, he should be able to pass the first 200 meters before the ice sank.

But he could not cross the remaining hundred meters no matter what.

Because the ice there was thinner.

More importantly, there was Ped and the thin man behind him.

While ensuring his safety, he had to ensure their safety as well.

Bell turned to look at the two of them.

“Tell me, how is your running speed usually?”

Seeing Bell’s serious expression, Ped and the man looked at each other.

“It is average.”

“Listen to my command. The three of us will run in different directions.

If you’re ready, take off your clothes. ”

“After you fall into the water, you have to swim ashore within fifty seconds. Otherwise…”

Bell did not continue, but the two of them understood what he meant.

Seeing Bell’s expression, the two of them knew that this matter was very serious, so they did not dare to delay.

This was the only path they had.

Bell nodded, and the three of them began to take off their clothes.

“We have to quickly cross this lake.

But we are 300 meters away from the shore. At our speed, we will definitely fall into the water.

In this -20°C environment, if we don’t wear clothes within two minutes of reaching shore, we will suffer deep frostbite. I don’t have to say much about the outcome of that. ”

Bell explained as he took off his clothes, but his actions were very light.

He was afraid of breaking the ice under his feet and falling into the ice early.

Instantly, the atmosphere in the live-stream became tense.
