Survival male god

Chapter 258
Gerbils are small and agile. In the desert, horned vipers and falcons, as well as some wolves and fennec foxes that live in desert areas, are their natural enemies.

Animals naturally have their own trump cards for hunting targets.

The desert wolf has a keen sense of smell, can dig holes, and is also fast. The fennec fox has excellent hearing and is small in size. It can even drill directly into the hole, kill its prey and drag them back to its lair.

Falcons swooped down, and horned vipers lurked in the sand. They were both good attackers, and gerbils often had no time to react before being captured by the two.

In terms of speed, Chen Jing believed that he could not compare with wolves and foxes, let alone falcons.

But as a human being, he naturally has some advantages that animals do not have.

For example - wisdom!
Chen Jing hid behind the mound, looked at it silently for a while, and then said:

"We have come into contact with rats or their closely related species a lot, and there are only a few ways to deal with them."

"Setting traps is undoubtedly the least efficient. This method is specifically used to deal with rats and is not cost-effective."

"It's not even possible to fill it with water. We don't have the conditions."

"So in the final analysis, we can only use the smoke method. This method has been tried and tested to deal with cave-dwelling creatures."

"Whether it's gerbils, zokors, voles, skunks, or weasels, you can use this method to force them out of their holes at any time."

"The only thing you need to pay attention to is to find the holes where they come in and out, and then block them all, leaving only one or two exits."

"Dense smoke will deprive the animals of oxygen, causing them to become sluggish and dizzy. When they crawl out of the hole in a daze, you can catch them without any effort."

"What we need to do now is wait patiently for these gerbils to finish foraging and return to their burrows."

"This could take a few hours, or even a night. I have to go back to camp, make sure my fire doesn't go out, and then find some semi-dried leaves and haystacks to make a thick smoke. Torches.”

"This is necessary preparation. You must not fall asleep, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted."

"At three or four in the morning, I have to return to this position, record the location of each gerbil's hole, and block them all."

"If I can succeed, then I will have a big meal to enjoy later, hahaha~"

Chen Jing rubbed his hands together in anticipation. No matter how the gerbil tasted, it was definitely a hundred times more delicious than spiders and scorpions. That was for sure.

Danmaku was amused by his appearance.

["Look at your attendance at this point!"

"It's just catching a few gerbils. Are you so happy?"

"Is this guy really earning hundreds of millions a year? Why does he look like a homeless man?"

"Jingshen is so miserable, I'm crying to death. He doesn't enjoy the luxurious life, but he comes to a place like this to live broadcast for us..."

"Let's talk about it, sparrow food!"

"You are the God of Scenery. You used to eat Arctic cod and Greenland sleeping sharks. Why are you so happy to have a gerbil?"

"Hahaha, I'm really impressed. Hundreds of thousands of people in the live broadcast room stayed awake to watch you catch mice in the middle of the night, right?"

"Alas, it's in decline, but you really can't find anything edible in a place like this."]

Chen Jing has long been immune to the ridicule and affection of the barrage. In fact, the audience in the live broadcast room all expressed disdain for his integrity.

Criticism is what it deserves, you still have to watch it.

Who asked him to broadcast Chen Jing's live broadcast? This is the only one in the world, and there is no other semicolon?
And actually catching mice is much better than watching other people arrange prop sets!
What's more, he also knows that with his current high charm, there is almost no possibility for the audience in the live broadcast room to lose their fans.

Those barrages are not so much satire as they are a special kind of "flirting" between water friends and anchors. Of course, they can also be called yin and yang, and their purpose is nothing more than fun and fun!
So Chen Jing doesn't take it to heart at all.

But when he mentioned the Greenland sleeping shark, the expression on his face immediately became a little embarrassed.

"Stop talking about pickled shark meat. I don't want to eat it a second time in my life. It's really unpalatable. How can I describe it?"

"The texture and taste are like shoe soles that have been soaked in urine for a whole year. It is no exaggeration to say that gerbil meat must be a hundred times more delicious."

After saying that, Chen Jing took off the secondary lens from the gimbal and turned on the dual viewing angle.

The main camera remains in place to monitor the situation here, while the secondary camera allows the audience to follow his sight and hear his voice.

Back under the two date palm trees, the fire was almost burning, and the charcoal fire was raging, looking red in the dark night.

Chen Jing continued to throw branches and sticks into the fire to rekindle it, and then threw the pile of dried camel dung into the fire.

In this way, the fire can still keep burning even if no firewood is added in the middle of the night.

It had just fallen into the night, and the temperature had not yet completely dropped. The body temperature was still in the twenties.

Chen Jing did not dare to stay in front of the fire any longer, so he got up and went to look for materials to make thick smoke.

These included branches of Haloxylon ammodendron and some half-dried sand vines. Ia finally tied them with half-dried date palm leaves and rolled them into small handfuls of firewood similar to those used for cooking pots in rural areas.

"After the gerbils enter the cave, I will use these torches to block all the cave entrances, leaving only one or two openings. In this way, due to the siphon effect in the cave, the smoke will automatically pour into the cave."

"When the gerbils notice that they are having trouble breathing, these guys will run wildly in the hole, looking for a way out, hitting the wall repeatedly and encountering burning torches. Eventually, all the gerbils will run out of the correct hole."

"I'll be able to catch these gerbils without any effort then."

"This ancient hunting method originated from rural areas in China. Of course, people all over the world use this method. There is nothing unusual about it. It is not difficult for everyone in the live broadcast room to catch these gerbils."

"Perhaps the only difficulty is to control your sleepiness. Don't fall asleep before the gerbil enters the hole."

In fact, when Chen Jing said this, he was also constantly building himself up mentally.

Because he was really tired, he took a plane to Cairo, and then rushed non-stop to the Sahara border town.

Then contact local partners, hire a helicopter, set off before dawn, and finally land in the Sahara Desert.

Although the live broadcast started at three o'clock in the afternoon, in fact, he had not slept for fifteen hours since it started at six o'clock in the morning and now it is nearly nine o'clock in the evening.

Not everyone can bear the intensity of such a live broadcast.

At midnight, the stars in the Sahara are exceptionally bright.

This means that the weather will be sunny in the future. Even if the rainy season will come here in more than a month, in fact, it will only make this boring land a little moist.

The average annual rainfall in the Sahara is pitifully low.

Although the groundwater resources in the great desert are extremely rich, they cannot be exploited at all. Only in special places can you find rushing rivers connecting the groundwater.

This kind of place is often the place where desert civilization flourishes.

Of course, there are areas with relatively rich resources in the depths of the Sahara Desert. However, the terrifying high temperatures in the periphery, coupled with the frightening and strange legends of the forbidden area, have made those resource-rich areas unable to be used by humans.

In fact, Chen Jing still knew his approximate position.

Now he is not far from the Nile River Basin, and far from reaching the south-central and central plateau areas of the great desert.

He was almost 100% sure that he was in the easternmost Libyan Desert, which is part of the Great Desert.

This is the starting point of the entire Sahara Desert, and it is also a place where the environmental conditions are relatively not that harsh.The difficulty of this desert journey will not be revealed until you cross the central Ajer Plateau.

That is the place where it is truly difficult for humans to set foot.

Chen Jing told the audience one by one these thoughts.

In fact, there is nothing to hide about the route and plan. If you share it with everyone, you can sometimes get some good advice. Of course, this is rare. Most of the time, Chen Jing is just telling the story.

If you don't say anything, how will you spend this long time?

After chatting for a long time, Chen Jing even found it a little funny.

To be honest, after he has reached this level, most of his income sources no longer rely on live broadcasts.

But every time I stand in front of the camera, I will still habitually regard myself as the fledgling new anchor.

I always think about taking good care of the audience, creating more program effects, and not letting the live broadcast have too much waste time. This seems to have become an occupational disease and is difficult to cure.

2016 is the golden age of live broadcasting.

Through "hard work", he has become the most popular superstar nowadays and the undisputed GOAT figure in the live broadcast industry.

He has a massive fan base all over the world, and every time he does something, he can attract public attention.

But at the end of the day, he seems to have never changed. He is still the "handsome guy" who loves adventure and gets extremely excited just because he lights a campfire, catches food, and goes to a strange world.

Perhaps it was because of his "death" that Chen Jing's state of mind was completely washed away and turned into what it is now.

To be honest, he was very pleased and extremely proud.

He has not forgotten his original intention because of his success, nor has he lost himself because of fame and fortune.

If it were Chen Jing in his previous life, he probably wouldn't be able to do it.

After being developed, who would have to go to the wilderness to suffer, eat and sleep in the open to earn a few desperate dollars?
Wouldn't it be nice to stay peacefully and comfortably in a bustling city?
Not to mention feasting and feasting, he will definitely enjoy life wantonly and then become that strange version of himself.

Chen Jing knew clearly that that was not the life he wanted.

The true sustenance of his soul is the vast world, the scenery along the way, and millions of sentient beings.

2017 is a new beginning.

The rise of short video platforms will have a huge impact on the live broadcast industry.

But Chen Jing didn't panic at all, because he was already on the way.

As long as you keep walking, as long as you still have a goal, you will not fall.

As long as he can still shine in the wilderness, there is no fear that people will forget his story.

"Thank you everyone for listening to all the nonsense I said..."

"Next, we have to keep working hard."

Chen Jing made a pun, and before he knew it, it was almost four o'clock in the morning.

The gerbils that are looking for food outside will return to their caves one after another, and this is also the time for Chen Jing to really show his "fangs".

He took the bundled torch and returned to the mound to observe carefully.

Soon, the eight gerbils returned to the cave one after another.

There are many shallow pits dug by them on the sand, and the roots of many plants have been bitten off by these guys.

"In fact, it has nothing to do with maintaining the environment. Gerbils themselves are not beneficial to the environment, but nature has its own laws of operation, and many animals will curb the development of gerbils."

"Even if I don't take action, the number of these gerbils will remain at a certain level."

"Actually, everyone should have guessed by now that I just want to eat meat, that's all."

"I can only say that these gerbils are very unlucky. This big family happened to meet me when I was very hungry."

"Everyone, please save them!"

Chen Jing noted the location of the gerbil caves, searched them one by one, and then marked them.

"Thanks to the camera's night vision function, otherwise it would be really difficult to find these hidden holes in such a place where you can't even see your fingers."

"It's definitely not possible to act now. Even if they run out, I can't see them clearly. I'll use a torch to block the entrance of the cave first."

"When it's almost daylight, I'll light these torches and fill the cave with smoke."

Chen Jing has never lacked patience, which is his strength.

In the second half of the night, the air was cold, and Chen Jing finally realized that his clothes were a little thin.

In China, it would have been dawn long ago, because he found that there were many more people in the live broadcast room than before.

Obviously, some water friends who got up early have already turned on their mobile phones or computers to watch the live broadcast.

Several super shots were launched into the air, and Chen Jing quickly thanked him. This was the boss of the live broadcast room. Seeing that the latter had been up all night, he was here to encourage him.

Although Chen Jing has long lost the concept of money, because he already has nine-digit savings in his personal account.

But the water friend's recognition still made him very happy.

"Good morning, bosses. You're all here. Why don't you give me some gifts? I'm not sleepy, not at all. I feel more energetic in the middle of the night."

He was past the sleepy stage. Needless to say, his eyes were definitely bloodshot, but his energy was unusually good.

But it will soon reach a critical point. Chen Jing has too much experience in staying up late.

Once it gets dark and the sun comes out, the whole person will become erratic. At that time, it is the time point when people who stay up late really feel sleepy.

Of course, there are some ruthless people who can continue to stay up until noon, but Chen Jing cannot.

He had decided that after finishing what he was doing, he would immediately fall into the sand pit and sleep.

On the horizon, fish maw white appeared.

After six o'clock in the morning local time, thick smoke billowed from the small oasis in the desert.

In less than 10 minutes, all eight gerbils were caught by Chen Jing, who was guarding the exit.

"You're done!"

"Then there is only one thing to do next, go and see if there is water on those rocks?"

"Even a drop is fine..."

Chen Jing licked his cracked lips. His throat was so dry that it was almost smoking!
