Chapter 169: Determining the Direction, Inland

The camera in the live-stream zoomed in.

There were obvious traces of the wind on the snow that Bell was observing.

“Look at these snow patterns on the snow. You can notice them if you observe carefully.

These are snow marks formed by the wind here.

In the Arctic Circle, most of the wind comes from the Atlantic ocean.

It is in the southwest direction of Alaska.

Through this wind direction, we can tell that the snow patterns on the ground are facing the wind, which is southwest.”

“The direction we need to choose is to the southeast.

It is an inland area.

“Therefore, we just have to keep walking with our backs facing the wind.”

With that, Bell looked at the team.

“Put away your parachutes. They will be of use.”

Seeing that Bell had easily determined the direction, the few members who had some petty thoughts felt upset.

......

Bell ignored these people. After confirming the direction, he started walking down the mountain back.

“The current season is not the coldest, but even so, we are still in an environment of around -25 °C. This temperature already possesses some dangers.”

“I remember introducing a common phenomenon to everyone. I wonder if you still remember it.

For every hundred meters that the altitude increases, the temperature will decrease by about 0.6 degrees Celsius.

The temperature is quite low here, so the mountain should be quite high. It will only get colder at night.

If you splash water on the ground, it will instantly freeze into ice.”

“Therefore, the most important thing now is to reach the ground or flatter surface. Otherwise, we will freeze to death tonight.”

There were ten people in the group. Including Bell, there were eleven people walking in the snow.

The audience was paying attention to the actions of the three groups. After all, it was not only Bell’s team in this episode, but also Ed and Bear, the two seniors.

The audience was also very curious who was better between the three.

However, because the start was not good on Bell’s side, they were slightly slower than the other two teams.

“Host, you have to hurry up. Ed and Bear have already begun to search for a way down the mountain.”

“All the best, host!”

Although the few of them did not parachute together, the situation was not much different. They were all on mountain backs.

After observing the terrain, Bell realized that the slope was not very steep.

In order to save time, Bell chose to slide down the slope with his ten teammates.

In less than ten minutes, Bell and the team descended nearly eight hundred meters.

The slope had become smooth. They could not continue sliding. Bell stood up.

He turned and looked at the team members behind him.

“Alright, we have reached quite low. The temperature has increased a little. It’s time to continue.

But before that, you are all professional survivalists. I need to consider your standards.

Can someone tell me what we need to do in this situation?”

Since Bell was going to be a mentor, he could not deal with all the issues. He had to give these contestants a chance to perform.

A muscular man stood up.

“We need to keep moving because this is the only way to ensure our body’s warmth.”

“Other than that, is there anything else?”

Bell did not retort. Instead, he continued to ask.

The man shook his head.

The others did not speak.

“Alright, I understand. It seems like you are not familiar with this snowy environment. I’ll explain to you first.”

“Firstly, if you want to explore a snowy environment like this Arctic Circle, I suggest you bring goggles.

Because in this environment, it will take less than an hour for you to suffer from snow blindness.

This snowy ground is like a mirror that will reflect ultraviolet rays into your eyes.

You might not think much of it at first, but over time, you will realize that your eyes are stinging, followed by swelling and tears, and various other symptoms of being unable to open your eyes. ”

“But we haven’t brought such a thing right now. After all, this is Wilderness Survival. It’s impossible to prepare everything. Therefore, we need to use our previous parachute.”

Bell tore off a small piece of the parachute from his backpack. It did not look dense, and Bell tied it around his eyes like a headband.

“Although this thing can block your vision slightly, it can also block a portion of the ultraviolet light.”

Then, Bell turned to look at the member who had just spoken.

“Actually, what he said was not wrong.

In this environment, we have to ensure that our bodies are constantly moving.

Because it promotes our blood circulation and increases the temperature of our bodies.

But this also raises the problem of the intense movement in severe cold draining our energy.

And in this snowy environment, food is even more scarce than in the desert.

This forms a vicious cycle.

This is the reason why the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle are very hostile to life.

Fortunately, we are only at the periphery of the Arctic Circle. Some creatures can endure this harsh environment, such as the reindeer and snow fox.

We might also see human traces here. They are the Inuits.

They rely on hunting these animals to survive in this harsh environment. ”

Bell explained seriously.

The team members behind heard Bell’s explanation. Although they looked like they did not care, they were secretly amazed.

‘How does he know so much about various environments?’

‘Damn it, there’s no chance to show off by following him.’

‘At this rate, won’t we all be side characters?’

The team members behind were thinking about how to find trouble with Bell and show their superiority.

Bell saw their expressions and did not speak.
