Chapter 406: Another Problem
Nine o'clock in the evening.
When Lin Feng walked out of the madhouse, it was completely dark.
In the night, there was no starlight.
In the swamp, all kinds of strange insects and birds and shrill winds were endless, like ghosts crying, which was very strange and terrifying.
At this moment, the whole day of adventure had already made Lin Feng exhausted physically and mentally, and even a little reluctant to live.
At present, when I breathed fresh air again, my nerves that had been tense before finally relaxed.
"call……"
After taking a breath, Lin Feng put out the torch, and at the same time, taking advantage of the light of the drone, he looked at the surrounding environment, hoping to find a suitable camping site and have a good rest.
But after looking for a while, he found that within his field of view, not to mention the campsite, there was not even a decent piece of dry land.
There were large swamps everywhere.
Even behind the hole, the same is true.
Fortunately, there are several ash trees growing well in the yard.
There is no way, I can only use them to do some work.
Seeing this, Lin Feng took off his backpack and threw it on the ground. While pulling the zipper of the backpack, he said:
"The ground here is very wet, and it looks like it is full of green grass, but in fact, there is water accumulation in the gaps between the grass, so I can't camp directly on the ground..."
"Have you tried to get the camp out of the ground, friends, do you remember the hammock I had prepared before? It will come in handy again."
As he said that, Lin Feng turned out the hammock before in his backpack, and found a relatively sheltered place on the northwest side of the barbed wire, chose two wax trees with appropriate spacing, and tied the two ends of the hammock to it.
Soon, after a few busy schedules, he placed the hammock, stood up straight, turned the brim of the baseball cap to the back of his head, and pointed the camera at the hammock:
"Tonight, I have to spend the night in the hammock again."
"Luckily, I didn't throw it away at that time."
"Of course, this is also what I want to remind everyone. Try not to give up the equipment you have made without affecting the load, because sometimes, they will definitely help you."
"Huh, okay, next, our husband will fire, and then go find some food. Fire is very important, because now, I can clearly feel that the temperature has shown signs of a sharp drop, and it is getting lower and lower."
"This is not a good sign, it can even be said to be a bit weird..."
Lin Feng said while tidying up his backpack:
"Usually, because the specific heat capacity of water is large enough, the temperature difference between day and night at the water source will not be too large, such as swamps, rivers or lakes."
"But here, it's the opposite. For some reason, it's so cold at night?"
"The temperature now has dropped to below 20 degrees. If it drops a few degrees, I will probably lose temperature. This is very dangerous, so I have to start a fire as soon as possible."
After the words came, he responded, pulled his hand axe out of the cloth cover of his belt, walked outside the iron net, and prepared to collect some firewood and fire-induced objects.
Because of the climate and terrain, or the unique vegetation distribution pattern of the swamp belt, the surrounding trees are particularly sparsely distributed and do not form forests, and very few can be used as firewood.
The larger trunks are almost none, all of which are small branches, so they can only be cut down and cut down.
Fortunately, the firefighting hand axe is still sharp. After all, with an axe condom, the blade can be completely preserved, and cutting trees and firewood is easy.
As a result, in less than five minutes, Lin Feng cut down dozens of branches of a redwood tree.
These woods are very dry and are used to build campfires, which is perfect.
After cutting the firewood and returning to the camp, Lin Feng cut a handful of weeds casually, wanting to use it as a fire-attracting object.
However, after nightfall, the temperature dropped sharply, and the water vapor near the ground condensed when it cooled, and all the originally dry weeds were wet.
Seeing this, he put the weeds in his hand in front of the camera and shook it, and said:
"Everyone, I miscalculated again."
"Because the temperature dropped too hard, almost all the hay that could be used was affected by seedlings and was so wet... So, I have to find a way to find other ignition-induced objects."
After saying that, Lin Feng pulled out his backpack, took out a pair of gloves in the compartment, and cut them horizontally with a knife.
In an instant, the blooming tampon appeared in front of the camera.
"The anti-cut gloves are cotton. After cutting, we can rub the cotton thread with our hands and try to take out a few strands to attract the fire."
"However, the problem is that these gloves have been stored underground for a long time, so they are moldy. This may have an impact. Well, let's try it first. If it doesn't work, then think of other solutions."
As he said that, Lin Feng picked up his gloves, peeled off the silk threads and pulled out the blooming tampons one by one, rolled them into a line, and put them aside for later use.
Then he took out the fire box, took out the sultry flint and carbon cloth, and started to make the fire.
Tattata!
After only three knocks, there were sparks on the carbon cloth!
Seeing this, he hurriedly stuffed it into the ball of thread, blew gently at the ignition point.
Soon, wisps of blue smoke emerged from it, but for some reason, there was no fire.
"Please..."
Lin Feng murmured while blowing.
While talking.
Although the blue smoke is getting thicker and thicker.
But no flames burst out.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds!
"I'll go..."
Suddenly, Lin Feng complained, and then he placed the thread blackened by the carbon cloth in front of the camera and said disheartenedly:
"It's still not possible, it's too trendy..."
"It seems that I have to find another way." As he said that, he stood up and walked out of the iron net. "The wetland is definitely one of the most difficult wildernesses on earth to make fire. The environment here is really fucking..."
"It's really fucking enough!"
"Come on, Mr. Feng!"
"It's so difficult, bring a lighter next time!"
"Master Feng, don't be anxious, there are always more solutions than difficulties!"
"It should be OK to use bark!"
After adjusting his emotions, Lin Feng looked at the barrage and replied:
"It is extremely difficult to find fire-induced objects in wetlands, because there is little dry land here and almost all the water under your feet."
"So, at this time, what we have to do is to turn our attention away from the ground and try our luck on the tree. If we are lucky, we may find palms, combustible resins, or pine needles or something."
"If you don't have any traces of civilization around the wetlands, this may be the only way to find a fire-driven object. Before that, I used this method to find the palm tree core. So, when your feet are flooded, you might as well look up and you might get something."
As he walked, he said that after leaving the iron net, Lin Feng finally found several spruce trees with thick trunks and tall branches at the place where he chopped wood.
It seems that these trees are at least decades old.
When he approached, he raised his head and looked up and down.
After a closer look, there were many fluffy and flocy-like plants growing on the trunks of the fir tree.
Seeing this scene, Lin Feng was overjoyed, raised his eyebrows, and said excitedly to the camera:
Chapter completed!
