Survival male god

Chapter 313
There is no shortage of water resources in the Alps.

For the entire European highlands, this raised landmark landform is like a water tower, transporting water to the outside world all the time.

Chen Jing was walking through the jungle with a stick in one hand. He was heading east, towards the largest alpine barrier lake in the world.

The calf was fractured and dislocated, as was the right arm. The slightest bump would cause unbearable pain, and naturally it was impossible to walk faster.

It takes about 10 minutes to advance 300 meters. Perhaps moving is more suitable to describe it.

In addition to the immediate plans that needed to be completed, he also did not forget to introduce the surrounding situation to everyone.

"No matter how much you can memorize, there are still things that should be said. When you are in trouble somewhere, collecting and analyzing information is extremely critical."

"Are you in the Northern Hemisphere or the Southern Hemisphere?"

"Roughly which section you are in, and you can subdivide it down, and you can also list countries, regions, or even a specific place."

"Each place has its own different climate characteristics in different seasons."

"This information may seem insignificant, but in the wild wilderness, it can greatly improve our chances of survival."

"The Alps are located in western Europe and mostly have a temperate maritime climate, spanning multiple countries and regions. Switzerland is close to Geneva and has a predominantly Mediterranean climate."

“Due to the high altitude near the mountains, the climate environment is affected by the airflow at the top, resulting in hot summers, cold winters, and rainy and foggy spring and autumn.”

"The wind was so strong just now, and the water vapor that melted and evaporated in early spring was cold. I am afraid that there is a high possibility of rainfall in the next two to three days."

"But in the midst of uncertainty, we still have to find the water source."

"Then quickly think of ways to build a shelter, light a fire, etc..."

Having said this, Chen Jing's eyes fell on a woodland in front of him. From his current position, he could vaguely see a pit.

It was also one of the few places in the forest where no trees were growing, and there were piles of fallen leaves.

"In the mountains, flash floods will form streams and mountain ravines in low-lying areas, and they will also alluvial pits like this."

"If I read it correctly, it should be a pit that holds water. There is reflection in the pool and moss growing around it."

"This means that the surrounding area is very humid and does not receive regular sunlight."

Chen Jing quickened his pace and limped forward using a wooden stick.

After a moment, his face was filled with a surprised smile.

It was indeed a small pool. Of course, there wasn't much water. It was like a small fish tank, with less than a square of water accumulated in it. The bottom was full of branches and fallen leaves.

"Good luck!"

Chen Jing laughed twice, then carefully lay down.

"You cannot drink water from exposed water sources in the wild, no matter how urgent the situation is. You must at least observe the condition of the water source."

"First of all, make sure there are absolutely no dead animals or moldy things in the water."

"And it's best to boil it before drinking it."

"Drinking unclean water can cause serious problems, especially diarrhea."

"It will cause fatigue and may also cause high fever. No matter what happens, it is very bad and I absolutely cannot accept it."

"Fortunately, I checked around and found that there were no dead animals. The water should be drinkable."

"But it must be filtered and then boiled."

"But don't rush yet!"

Chen Jing is not very thirsty now. The pit is not big, about one meter square, and there are many debris soaked in the bottom.

He stretched out his left hand and fished out some of the dead branches inside, but the leaves at the bottom did not move, and then stood up again.

"As you can see, there is still a lot of accumulated water. When it rains, the rainwater is deposited in the pits. Because it is blocked by fallen leaves, it is difficult to penetrate into the ground. Or under the soil layer, there is an overall closed sandstone, resulting in accumulation of water. Water seeps slowly, creating puddles like this."

"Whatever the reason, all we need to know is that this water is enough for me to use for at least a week. If there is really rain later, not only will it be refilled, but I can also collect clean rainwater."

"Now that I have found a fairly good water source, the next thing I have to do is make a fire and build a shelter."

The audience looked at him lying half on the ground, with one leg and arm firmly fixed by a branch, making it extremely difficult to move. They couldn't help but wonder whether he was still qualified for those jobs in his current condition.

"Of course, there are many things that can be done with one hand. No offense, but you may not know it. In fact, many people with disabilities can do much more with one hand and one foot than most able-bodied people."

"It's inconvenient for sure, not to mention, besides this hand, I also have teeth and a mouth."

"Next, I'll show you how to make a fire with one hand."

Chen Jing looked around. There were dead branches and leaves everywhere in the forest. Most of them were relatively dry. There was no shortage of materials for making a fire.

All that was missing was tinder to start a fire, and a proper way to start a fire.

After thinking about it, he still felt that it was more convenient to use a bow and drill to make fire.

All you need is a piece of dry softwood, a relatively hard branch, and a length of rope to successfully make a fire.

After walking a few steps and picking and choosing, Chen Jing soon found a suitable fire-making tool.

Even Tinder was found, an abandoned unknown bird's nest that must have been blown down by the previous strong wind.

Chen Jing found no intact or damaged eggs nearby, which indicated that the bird's nest had probably been abandoned by its owner long ago.

The bird's nest is a very good tinder, and it can burn if it encounters a tiny spark.

After finding the materials, Chen Jing slowly squatted down and untied his right hiking shoe.

"I have told you many times about the principles and methods of making a bow drill for making fire, and I have also demonstrated it many times."

"I won't go into details here."

"You will know in a moment that even with one hand, making a fire is still a piece of cake for me."

"Actually, it's not that I'm very good. It's that the tools are too advanced. Anyone who masters this technique can successfully ignite a fire."

"OK, no more words, let's get started."

Chen Jing shut his mouth, despite his seemingly relaxed tone.

In fact, because of his injuries, every time he moved, he would feel pain in the bones of his left leg and right arm.

Fortunately, he had a strong will and endured it all the time, and had been using barrage communication to distract himself.

It took nearly half an hour, using both hands, feet and mouth, and Chen Jing finally finished making the bow drill.

"It looks really rough, but at any rate, we made it."

"Don't blink, everyone, it's time to witness the miracle next."

Chen Jing wiped the sweat from his forehead, stepped on the cork piece with his soles, and then started pulling like crazy.

Not long after, a trace of white smoke emerged from the cork chip.

Chen Jing quickly dropped the bow drill in his hand, grabbed the cork piece with one hand, and poured the small sparks in the groove onto the tinder. "Puff..."

Chen Jing carefully maintained the fire. After a while, the white smoke gradually thickened, and only a pop was heard. Large clouds of smoke emerged from his fingers, and then flames shot up.

"Very good, there is a fire. As long as there is a fire, I feel much more at ease."

Fire can indeed do a lot of things, boil water, drive away wild animals, and ensure that the camp is warm enough at night.

This is why even the most unprofessional outdoor survivalist will light a bonfire at night.

The audience was naturally convinced by Chen Jing's operation.

This guy broke his arms and legs. If it had been someone else, he would have fainted from the pain, let alone starting a fire.

"With the fire, the next step is to build a shelter. This is a relatively difficult project for me."

"As the saying goes, it's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree."

"It shouldn't rain tonight. Even if it does, I can only take a gamble because there is not enough time."

"Now even if I try my best, I'm afraid I can only use branches to spread a hard bed on the ground and then build a simple roof over my head."

"By the way, the simplest one is the kind of tent the Berbers use when grazing."

"Put the long, slender tree trunks into an upright cone and cover it with leaves."

"I can't spread too much, just enough to use it. Because my conditions really don't allow me to waste too much time on building a shelter. I can only build one to live in first, and then slowly optimize it."

"Similarly, I still list the materials I need, including the steps to build a shelter."

"First we need at least three relatively long and sturdy pieces of wood."

"Put them up, with the tops spread apart on the ground, leaving a lot of space underneath."

"We can selectively add a few columns, so that the structure will naturally become more resistant."

Chen Jing only used four pieces of wood, then simply folded a few branches and covered the top, thus forming a simple and crude tent.

Several hours had passed, and Chen Jing was too tired to say anything.

This is why he is only willing to build a simple camp and optimize it later.

Whatever he does now, he has to put in several times more energy and effort than before.

After six or seven hours of work, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Jing was tired and hungry, and had to endure the pain of a broken limb.

Opening the system panel and taking a look, his face suddenly darkened.

The health level has dropped to 30.00%. It has continued to drop by more than ten points in just one day.

It is absolutely impossible to continue like this.

This was another reason why he had to set aside time.

You have to find a way to boil water to drink, and then get some food to eat. At least you have to stabilize it so that your health does not drop below 20.00%, otherwise you will be finished.

If the trip to the Sahara Desert had a numerical requirement for health, he would have failed long ago.

Because there were several times when he was on the verge of life and death. There was a question mark as to whether his health level was even [-]%, let alone [-]%.

"My head is a little dizzy now."

"I must boil some water immediately."

"There is a kind of tree here with very wide leaves. It looks like some kind of banana leaves, but it's not. I don't know what its name is?"

"In short, these are the leaves of an arbor plant. There are many plants in the world that have not yet been named by humans. The Amazon jungle has the most. Of course, they can be found deep in any mountain."

"They could be poisonous, they could have magical medicinal properties, who knows?"

"But what I want to take advantage of is just the characteristic of their leaves being wide enough."

"Like before, when there is no container, if you want to boil water for drinking, there is only one way."

"Dig a hole in the ground, put leaves in it, press it tightly, and use it as a makeshift pot."

"We need to find some stones that can be found everywhere, and then throw the stones into the pit and let it heat the water to boiling. After cooling, it will settle for a while, and then you can drink it directly."

"In fact, there are many other uses for stone."

“The Alps, like the Himalayas, belong to the spreading mountain system of the Eurasian plate and were formed by the collision of continents.”

"Even the geological structures are almost the same. Various stones formed in the Mesozoic and Prehistoric Era were exposed on the surface due to crustal movement."

"Due to long-term water erosion and weathering, it fell apart and eventually turned into pieces of gravel that accumulated in the soil."

"Most of them are extremely hard, especially granite and basalt."

"Friends who are familiar with me know that no matter where I go, if I don't have metal on hand, the first thing I do is use stones to make a handy stone axe."

“With it, everything you do will be done with twice the result with half the effort.”

"But now, I can't move with one hand. I can't break the stone as hard as I used to and make a stone axe."

"Then the only method that can be adopted is to use high temperature to repeatedly heat the stone and then cool it."

"If you go back and forth like this several times, the stone will crack due to the physical properties of thermal expansion and contraction."

"That way I can get a stone ax with an edge."

"You see, even if our ability to do things is greatly reduced due to unexpected circumstances, we can still find other solutions by using our ingenuity."

Next, as Chen Jing said, he used this method to not only boil the water taken from the pit.

I also got an ax that I could hold in my hand and use.

After half a day, he had obtained the most important fresh water resources, shelter, and of course fire.

The only thing that didn't work out was food.

But this has never been a problem that Chen Jing needs to worry about.

Because this is not a desert or an extreme point, but an Alps with a pleasant climate and unimaginably rich resources.

This is a land of treasures.

"Do you believe it? I only need to walk twenty steps and I will definitely be able to find something to eat nearby!"

"If you don't believe me, let's make a bet?"
