Chapter 127: Differing Temperature
After a while, Bell broke free of the parachute and finally dragged his drenched body to the shore.
Sitting on the shore, Bell looked back at the lake and breathed heavily.
“In Australia, there are many saltwater crocodiles. Of course, they are mostly in northern Australia, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t appear in other areas.”
“Saltwater crocodiles are the largest living reptiles on Earth. They can grow to seven meters in length. Some people even said that they had found a saltwater crocodile nearly nine meters long. They can weigh 1 ton.”
“These guys reside in Australia and are at the top of the food chain.”
“And one thing has made these terrifying creatures famous worldwide.”
“That is the Battle of Ramree Island in World War II.”
“When the British forces outflanked Japanese troops on Ramree Island, the Japanese troops tried to escape through a mangrove swamp on the island and were attacked by a large number of saltwater crocodiles within a thousand days. More Japanese troops died from the mouths of saltwater crocodiles than on the battlefield.”
“It can be seen how terrifying these guys are.”
After regaining some strength, Bell stood up and wrung out his clothes before putting them on.
The damp feeling made him feel uncomfortable. At the same time, it increased his weight and increased his stamina consumption.
After doing all this, Bell moved further away from the pool.
“In Australia, you have to be careful of lakes. There might be large creatures hiding in the water. The bite force of saltwater crocodiles is very terrifying. These guys can even destroy the hard shells of turtles.”
“Everyone, just imagine the outcome if you get bitten.”
The audience in the live-stream trembled.
They did not want to think of it.
Bell stood up and looked around.
This was a flat wasteland, and around it were endless mountains.
The highest point looked to be more than a thousand meters tall.
Bell chose the old rules and looked for the highest place. This was the best way to find the path.
But at the same time, Bell did not forget to explain the situation of the Australian wilderness to the audience in the live-stream.
“I know what everyone is paying attention to. In this wilderness, besides the wild beasts, the most lethal creatures are the snakes, insects, rats, and ants.”
“This can be said to be a land of death.”
“You might not believe it, but there are 140 species of land snakes and 32 species of sea snakes recorded in Australia.”
“About a hundred of them are venomous.”
“Now, what do you think about the danger level of this wilderness?”
Bell’s words were casual, but the audience subconsciously swallowed their saliva. Their nervousness was stirred.
How was this a challenge to nature? This was simply playing with their lives. They felt like they would die here if they were not careful.
“F*ck, isn’t the host going too far? There are so many venomous creatures here, but he doesn’t have an antidote.”
“Previous poster, I can tell that you’re a new audience. Who is Bell? Isn’t Australia like a buffet to him?”
“F*ck, stop talking, host. Just hearing it gives me goosebumps.”
Looking at the messages on the screen, Bell smiled.
“Alright, everyone, like before, I brought a bag, a dagger, and a water canteen. I didn’t bring anything else.”
“I believe some of the older audience already know what I’m doing. That’s right, I am climbing to the high ground and observing the surroundings before formulating our survival route.”
“After all, it’s easy to encounter danger in such an environment.”
“We have two goals now. The first is to climb that mountain before dark to plan our route. The second is to create a shelter before dark.”
“This is the first guarantee to ensure our survival in this environment.”
Bell hurried along.
Time passed slowly.
Bell was still moving forward.
He was getting closer and closer to the mountain he had seen earlier.
“For this wilderness survival live broadcast, we have chosen the Great Dividing Range which is the watershed boundary between the drainage basins of river systems east and west of it.”
“Perhaps some audience will know that the Great Dividing Range is a strange geographical phenomenon. The mountain range here can stretch for thousands of kilometers while completely separating the eastern coast from the inland.”
“Such a scene can’t be seen anywhere else.”
The closer he got to the mountain, the denser the trees became.
At the same time, because of the season, the fallen leaves had piled up on the ground.
“Someone had measured this large ridge before. It’s about 3,500 kilometers long and about 160 to 300 kilometers wide.”
“Our goal is to cross this mountain range in front of us and return to the eastern coastal area.”
“There are many people living there, and it can be considered as passing this survival adventure.”
“Of course, the most important thing now is to reach the top.”
“The temperature here is only about 15 degrees in this season.”
“But I’m not saying the temperature is low everywhere.”
Bell pointed behind him.
“That’s the inland. Although it’s so close, the temperature in the inland wilderness is at least 30 °C. Even reaching 38 °C in the north and west is not the limit of this wilderness.”
“Sometimes in the summer, you can encounter a terrifying temperature of 50 °C. Imagine what 50 °C is like.”
“The cause of all this is this huge ridge in front of us. It cut off the sea breeze from blowing inland.”
“The lack of sea breeze to balance the temperature caused the inland temperature to increase sharply.”
“It can be said that everyone who lives here is a brave warrior who challenges danger.”
“The mortality rate is higher than 70% in this wilderness.”
“Now, we have to hurry up.”
While he spoke, Bell had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.
“Our luck is not too bad. Although this mountain is very high, it is not steep. This can save us some energy.”
