Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? Chapter 290



290 Footprints

If Bell slept while lying on bed, his front would be too cold. But if he bent over, his back would feel uncomfortable.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Bell felt that it was best to lie sideways.

Bell did not turn off his live broadcast.

The main reason was that the fans in the live-stream were too enthusiastic and insisted that he leave the live-stream on.

Bell could not do anything about it.

The long night seriously disturbed Bell’s biological clock.

Bell slept intermittently. Bell woke up almost every hour or two.

Of course, this was not entirely because the night was too long.

He needed to add some firewood to the fire under the wooden bed to ensure the temperature in the shelter.

According to Bell’s estimation, the temperature difference between the shelter and the outside world was about 40 °C.

The temperature outside had reached about -65 °C.

His shelter temperature was about -20 °C.

Of course, even at this temperature, ordinary people would not be able to sleep without a fire.

Bell tossed and turned until dawn.

Around 9 am, the sky finally lit up.

Bell who opened the roof felt a cold wind blow on his face.

Bell, who had long adapted to the temperature in the shelter, shivered.

The sun had yet to rise fully.

However, he could see some things through the faint light.

It had been about two hours since the sun rose, and it was not completely dark. He could more or less see something.

From this moment on, the temperature in the outside world would gradually increase.

He pulled off his parachute. Without any cover, the cold air from the outside surged in.

Bell did not dare to delay.

He quickly put away the parachute and carried his backpack. He also took out his scarf and wrapped it around his head.

After completing this series of preparations, Bell had no choice but to walk out of this warm harbor.

After leaving the shelter, Bell’s eyebrows and scarf were immediately covered in frost.

Bell could only breathe heavily.

He continued to move forward with difficulty in this cold environment.

“We have to reach the railway 180 kilometers away in six days. This way, we can take the train and leave.

If we miss it, we will have to wait for another three days on this icy plain. I don’t want to stay in such a place for a moment longer. Three days is too long. Therefore, we have to hurry up.”

After walking for a while, Bell felt the blood in his body flow. It was not as cold as before.

This side of Siberia had a size of 8.95 million square kilometers, all covered in pine trees.

Unlike the Arctic Circle in Alaska, this place was not that desolate.

Instead, the vegetation was lush. But at the same time, this lush vegetation also increased the number of animals living here.

Bell’s luck was not good. In this wilderness, there seemed to be nothing that could move except himself.

Unknowingly, the sun was already hanging in the sky.

Bell was stunned when he looked up. The sun rose silently. Most importantly, it was too cold outside, and the light was not obvious.

Bell squatted down and adjusted the camera to aim at the snow on the ground.

The hard snow layer seemed to have been smashed open by something, revealing the dry grass below.

At the same time, he could see some footprints of different depths on the snow not far ahead.

Bell pointed at the dry grass and said excitedly.

“Look, look at these. There might be animals like deers passing by.

“In winter, these animals often use their hard and powerful hooves to push away the snow to find food.”

While speaking, Bell carefully observed these footprints and finally came to a conclusion.

“According to my observation, these footprints were not left by red deers.

Because their feet are bigger and smoother.

If I’m not wrong, these should be the footprints left by a roe deer.

It would be great if I could eat hot deer meat in this snowy weather. ”

Bell licked his lips as he spoke, as if he could already imagine the taste.

He looked in the direction of the footprints left in the snow.

“The direction this roe deer left is in line with the direction we are going.

In that case, we cannot miss it. We have to follow and see if we can catch it. ”

After making the decision, Bell did not delay. He stood up and chased after the footprints.

Of course, although he knew that the prey was not a ferocious beast, Bell did not let down his guard.

Instead, he tensed up even more.

“Don’t relax at a time like this. Chasing prey in the wild is a very dangerous thing.

Because in this extreme environment, we are not the only ones looking for prey.

Top predators like Siberian tigers and wolves are also wandering around, looking for prey to fill their stomachs.

Compared to these predators, we have no advantage at all.

If we unfortunately bump into them, we will probably have to be added to their dinner.”

Although Bell said it very seriously, the audience in the live-stream did not buy it.

They expressed that Bell was bragging.

“I don’t believe you. You’re very bad.”

“Black Caiman: This kid said the same thing before he met me.”

“The Amazon rainforest jaguar quietly left the live-stream.”

“I don’t think Bell’s true prey is this roe deer at all.”

“This trick is a little too old. Host, do some research.”

Seeing that the audience in the live-stream did not buy it, Bell rolled his eyes helplessly.

What could he do?

Every time he encountered these dangerous predators, he had to be very passive.

If not for the fact that he had no choice, Bell would not have fought these dangerous guys.

He liked exploring, not courting death.

He followed the footprints.

After walking for about an hour in the snow, Bell suddenly stopped and looked ahead, frowning.
