Chapter 237 The cold wave comes, the wind and rain
Su Bai gasped for a while and said:
"Let's cut off all the branches of this green hill and transport them back to the camp."
The trunk of the twenty-meter tree is too heavy. Even if there are snacks, it is absolutely undesirable to pull it hard.
I can only slowly draw it.
Zhao Xinqing's beautiful eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly:
"It makes sense! This way it will save a lot of effort!"
"Even if we only transport these branches back today, it will be a considerable fuel reserve. The charcoal in the earth kiln should be enough for us to survive this cold wave!"
"What's more, some branches in Qinggang are very straight and can also be used to strengthen our bamboo shed!"
With the sharpness of the last bit of stone axe, the two cut down one third of the dense branches of the green hillwood, and let the foodie carry them back to the camp together.
Back at the camp, Su Bai made two durable stone axes with the help of a fish tongue file, and returned to the place where Qinggangmu fell with Zhao Xinqing without stopping.
After three trips, all the branches of the Qinggang Wood were cut off and transported back to the camp.
The twenty-meter-high tree, all its branches are stacked like small hills, which is indeed very useful.
Su Bai looked at the sky, and it was about three months old.
The dark clouds began to surge from the horizon, and the sunlight quickly became dim.
As Su Bai predicted in the morning, it would rain tonight.
"The main trunk of Aokagi can't be handled today."
"We will act separately. You go to the sweet potato field and spread the alfalfa again."
"I'll go to the earth kiln to take back the charcoal and lay the bark to prevent water from the earth kiln."
"Then you need to start strengthening the bamboo shed immediately."
The two of them acted immediately. Without long enough, they handled the matter of the earth kiln and sweet potato fields separately and returned to the camp.
Su Bai picked four branches of green hill trees, all of which were thick and straight, and they almost didn't need much processing. They just needed a little pruning to directly reinforce the bamboo shed.
Cut the four branches to the right length, Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing reinforced three of them on the west wall of the bamboo shed.
The lower half of the branches was buried deep underground with a slight slope, and was pushed onto the wall on the west side of the bamboo shed, resisting the huge wind that might occur tonight.
Another branch is reinforced in the middle of the front wall, close to the door.
This arrangement is very particular.
Su Bai pointed to the four reinforced branches in the bamboo shed and explained to the live broadcast camera:
"A very close to the east of us is a mountain that will block the wind from the east."
"The north side is backed by the four-meter rock wall, which is leeward and very safe."
"The only ones that may bring strong winds are the west and south sides."
"There are the potential of the west winds."
"With the reinforcement of these branches, the possibility of our bamboo shed being blown down by the strong wind is greatly reduced."
It was already past four o'clock, and the cold wind began to blow, and there was a continuous sound of swaying treetops in the distance.
Dark clouds masked, sunlight disappeared, and temperature dropped sharply.
It's about to rain.
Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing quickly took back all the things that were afraid of water in the camp, including snacks, quail cages, cats, fish, turtle meat, cement, charcoal, etc.
Not long after they took back the things, Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing heard a "rake" sound of rain outside. When they looked over, they found that it was indeed a heavy rain that had fallen.
There were also biting chills falling with the rain.
Zhao Xinqing shivered, quickly closed the door of the bamboo shed, turned around and crawled into Su Bai's arms.
Su Bai smiled and hugged the warm and soft beauty in his arms, picked up two pieces of charcoal, and threw them into the fire in the middle of the bamboo shed.
Charcoal gradually began to burn in the open flame, emitting surging heat, dispelling the chill in the bamboo shed, making it look like two completely opposite worlds inside and outside.
Zhao Xinqing felt that it was not enough, so she reached out and pulled the coyote quilt on Tielan's soft bed and covered the two of them.
I suddenly felt warm.
Barrage:
【…】
[I suspect Dr. Zhao is not cold at all.]
[She is just like giving us dog food!]
[This kind of cold wind is blowing outside, hugging each other by the fire inside, and covering it with thick wolf skin, it feels so good!]
【Double slack again is a good time to kiss…】
Zhao Xinqing did not see the barrage at this time, but just enjoyed the warmth in Su Bai's arms very greedily.
"I don't know... have other groups been affected by this cold wave and heavy rain?"
Zhao Xinqing asked in a low voice.
...
Program team office building.
Director Chen pushed open the door of the technical department.
On the large screen of the technical department, all the live broadcast rooms are displayed in small windows and arranged neatly.
At this time, there are 86 live broadcast rooms in the "Survival in the Wild" program.
There are fourteen vagrants who have been eliminated in the previous schedule.
And now, among these 86 live broadcast rooms, 80% are strong winds and cold rain.
The remaining 20% are indoor scenes, including the live broadcast room with stable shelter such as Su Bai, Lin Zi, Mark, and Li Jixian.
In these 20% of the audience in the live broadcast room, they did not feel the power of this cold wave.
Director Chen, who could overlook all the live broadcast rooms, couldn't help but thrust his eyes and eyebrows.
Just in just a few seconds when I walked from the door to the middle of the technical department, Director Chen saw two extinguished campfires from the big screen.
I saw three shelters that were blown away.
I saw at least five contestants who were sobbing in cold rain.
There was even a Fusang player who said on the spot that he was going to withdraw from the competition.
However, the Ministry of Security was unable to send helicopters to rescue under this condition. The safety officer could only ask the player who decided to withdraw from the competition to find a place to shelter from the rain. When the heavy rain ended, he would send a helicopter to pick him up.
The Fusang player who withdrew from the competition cried on the spot, crying while scolding the program team, which was particularly harsh.
When this cold rain comes, even if you can find a rock or shade that barely shelters from the rain, it is still a high probability that you will be frozen to death without a fire source.
The only program team that the contestants could count on was unable to reach under this situation.
Anyone who changes, his mentality will inevitably collapse.
Director Chen looked at the tragic situation on the big screen, took a deep breath, and ordered:
"Hide the live broadcast room with stable protection immediately."
"I just have to watch these live broadcast rooms where there are dangerous situations."
With the technicians' operations for a while, soon, 20% of the live broadcast rooms, including Su Bai, disappeared directly on the big screen.
All that is left is a tragic wind and rain.
The sudden cold wave and heavy rain were like a touchstone, which could directly show the abilities of each player.
Most of the live broadcast rooms that were hidden were in the top 20 contestants, and all of the top 10 contestants had stable protection.
And the players ranked low...
That's really worse than the other!
...
In the bamboo shed, Su Bai was also a little curious when he heard Zhao Xinqing's question. He opened the live broadcast tablet and said:
"You guys go and see how things are happening in the other groups?"
