Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? Chapter 23 – New Shelter After the Storm

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Bean-sized raindrops kept falling.

Bell was standing against the dented part of the hill. It could not keep out the rain at all.

The jacket was draped over his body, barely blocking some of the rain.

Unfortunately, it was quickly drenched.

His soft hair was stuck on the skin because of the rain.

He looked disheveled.

The audience prayed for Bell, hoping that the storm would end soon.

Time passed slowly.

The rain finally stopped.

The dark clouds gradually dissipated, and a fiery red color appeared in the sky.

The sunset after the rain was especially beautiful.

“Wow, the sunset in the wild. This is too beautiful.”

“Look! There's a rainbow.”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief after the rainstorm. At the same time, they were deeply attracted by the scene.

A gorgeous rainbow had appeared in the air.

At that moment, the dangerous primeval forest was as beautiful as a painting.

Unfortunately, Bell was not in the mood to pay attention to this now.

Bell wrung out his clothes.

Then, he looked in the direction of the sun.

“It's getting dark.”

“Although I gained quite a lot today, my luck was not good.”

“I encountered a rainstorm, and there was no place to take cover from it.”

“We have to gather as many resources as possible before it gets dark and build a fire to dry our clothes. It will be troublesome if we fall sick.”

The audience also reacted.

While they had the leisure to admire the beautiful scenery, Bell had to think about how to survive.

Everyone's attention was attracted again.

“Host, it's better to start a fire quickly. You might fall sick easily.”

Some comments suggested.

Bell took a look at his clothes and smiled.

“Thank you for your concern, but we need to do something before we start the fire.�

Bell looked around and saw some large forest leaves.

After confirming that there were no insect bites in the leaves, Bell chose a few and curled them into a funnel shape.

Seeing Bell's actions, everyone was puzzled. What was Bell doing?

“Although the rain has caused us some trouble, this is also a gift from nature.”

“The rainfall in the primeval forest is filtered through evaporation. Compared to the rivers and puddles, this rainwater is much cleaner.”

“Therefore, we have to gather as much rain as possible.”

Everyone reacted.

The rain had already removed the impurities and pollution in the water.

The rain that had just fallen from the sky was cleaner than the clear river water on the ground.

After hearing Bell's explanation, the audience couldn't help but admire Bell.

“Although the host is young, his observation is simply too awesome.”

“Yeah, among so many contestants, Bell was the first to think of this.”

“Sigh, I pity those contestants who had to withdraw from the competition because of lack of water.”

The comments were filled with emotions.

Bell did not have time to listen to their sighs. At this moment, he was making the best use of his time to collect the rainwater on these leaves.

These actions had to be fast.

On one hand, it was because the rain was easy to dry up, and on the other hand, it was because of the time.

After the sky darkened, he would not be able to gather any more resources.

Time passed slowly.

Bell picked many large leaves and gathered the rainwater.

After filling ten funnels, Bell stopped.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Bell heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Alright, everyone, this water should be enough for us for some time.”

“We need to plan our next step.”

“We need to build a new shelter.”

Because of the wild boar, the previous shelter had been completely destroyed.

If he wanted to pass the night safely, he had to have a new shelter.

Bell was familiar with this and began to search for a suitable place to build a shelter.

At the same time, the sky gradually darkened.

Because they were in the forest, under the cover of the leaves, the visibility in the forest was lower than outside.

The sky outside the forest still had some light, but the forest was already dark.

Due to the heavy rain, the female host in the broadcast room was constantly changing the scenes of the contestants on the screen to determine their current situation.

If they discovered that some contestants had encountered an accident or did not have the time to send a rescue signal, they could rescue them immediately.

“Oh, my god, our contestants are really too pitiful.”

After watching the contestants, the host couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, because of the rain, most people were already in bad condition.

There were even a few contestants who had no common sense and were directly struck by lightning.

Moreover, due to the heavy rain, the contestants had another problem.

They had no time to collect food today.

Everyone was hungry.

“Wilderness Survival is not so simple. Although it is not difficult to survive in this primeval forest, it is not realistic for some layman to survive here safely.”

“They have just experienced the terror of nature.”

“Hunger will be the first test for them tonight. If they can't resolve the food problem tonight, I'm afraid some contestants will withdraw from the competition because of hunger.”

Bear and Ed analyzed rationally.

These contestants on the screen were mostly amateurs.

They had not even suffered a beast attack.

The contestants who were attacked by the beasts had immediately sent a rescue signal.

But even so, these people's conditions were still worse than Bell's.

On the other hand, Bell had already found a place suitable to be a shelter.

“Everyone, look at these two trees. I think we can build a temporary shelter here. How about a hammock?”

Bell was excited.

Seeing that Bell was still so optimistic, the audience was also infected by his emotions.

“I turned from an uninterested lurker to a fan. After watching Bell's live broadcast, I can't watch other people's streams at all.”

“That's right. I just came from another stream. That contestant looked bitter and vengeful as if we owed him money.”

“Don't disturb Bell. Let's see how he builds this hammock.”

As the difficulty of survival increased, the number of Bell's fans gradually increased.
