288 Short Sunrise, Extreme Cold
The tundra wolf was one of the largest subspecies of the gray wolf.
It can grow to two meters long and could reach 70 kilograms.
Moreover, like other wolf-type animals, they also lived in groups. Every tundra wolf had a pack.
Under normal circumstances, there should be about 10 of them in a pack. They had a strict hierarchy and were good at using tactics.
In this environment, if Bell fought with fifteen of them, he could only reach a draw.
These creatures ran too quickly on the icy plain.
Even Bell’s physique could not compare to theirs.
In addition, although his outerwear could prevent the cold, it would burden him to a certain extent.
It made Bell much less agile.
Tundra wolves were fundamentally different from Yukon wolves.
The tundra wolf could crush the Yukon wolf in terms of size and speed.
Even the Siberian tiger, which was at the top of the food chain, would not provoke the tundra wolf pack for no reason.
Of course, this also depended on the situation. Even brown bears were on their food list, let alone tundra wolves.
Although the Siberian tiger was at the top of the food chain on this icy plain, in terms of activity, the tundra wolf was the most active.
Their numbers had become a calamity for nearby human habitats.
In the past few decades, the Russian government would hunt a certain number of tundra wolves every year to ensure the stability of the surrounding countryside.
Time passed quickly.
The sun that was hanging high above Bell’s head was falling to the west at an unbelievable speed.
There was no morning or evening in Siberia in winter.
When you see the sun here, it would already be hanging high above your head.
Bell pointed at the sun and said.
“Do you see that? The sun has already begun to set.
If I’m not wrong, it should be around two in the afternoon in China.
It was the time when the sun was the brightest.
But it was going to be dark soon here.
It is already setting without it even being evening.
Ordinary survivalists can’t arrange their time reasonably in this area due to this.”
“Although you might think the sun is still high above now, it will only take half an hour for it to set completely.
Half an hour later, this icy plain will be completely enveloped by darkness.
Once there is no sunlight, the temperature on the icy plain will drop by more than ten degrees.
Therefore, the most important thing now is to find our shelter and think of a way to start a fire.
This is the only way to ensure our safety.”
Bell’s plan was quite thorough. The large tree line provided him with the materials to start a fire, so he did not have to worry about insufficient materials.
Bell’s problem now was to build a shelter.
It was clearly unrealistic to dig a cave here.
Because the temperature was too low, the ground was extremely firm.
As long as he dug down for more than ten centimeters, it would be as difficult as digging a cement ground.
After walking for about ten minutes, Bell was surprised to find a sunken area in front of him.
The depth was about a meter.
It was like a drain.
Bell walked forward and observed.
“I think our shelter has been found.
If we build a shelter here, it can block the cold wind for us.
At the same time, it is very stealthy. It can be considered a good choice. ”
In the extremely cold weather, Bell definitely could not sleep on the ground.
He would look for some wooden sticks and make a suspended wooden bed.
This way, he could sleep away from the ground at night.
Moreover, if it was high enough, he could move the fire below to maintain his temperature.
Bell immediately put down his backpack and prepared to collect the wooden sticks.
The ditch was about half a meter wide.
Bell chose some wooden sticks that satisfied him.
Then, he cut it into the same length with the dagger.
Then, he cut holes in the ice to hold the wooden sticks in place.
After doing all this, Bell heaved a sigh of relief.
In fact, Bell was forced to stop.
Because after working for a while, Bell felt that his hands were about to freeze.
“No, we have to start a fire first. It’s too cold here. I feel like my hands are so cold that I can’t even move them.
If we don’t start a fire now, I’ll probably freeze to death before the shelter is built.”
Bell put down the wooden stick and returned to the tree line. He found some pine branches to start a fire. Then, he squatted on the ground and kept rubbing his hands to let his blood flow.
Drilling wood to start a fire was a delicate job.
It was not easy to start a fire with gloves.
After rubbing his hands for a while, Bell’s hands finally regained some feeling.
Bell decided to start the fire as soon as possible.
He picked up the wooden stick he had prepared in advance.
Bell’s hands moved quickly, almost turning into afterimages. The audience in the live-stream could not even see his actions clearly.
In just twenty seconds, green smoke was already rising from the groove.
Bell couldn’t help but smile.
He did not dare to stop and quickly sped up.
A few seconds later, black smoke appeared from the groove.
“F*ck, the host’s hand speed is good.”
“Bell is still so young, but he has already mastered the divine technique?”
“You’re really a god.”
“As expected, traditional hand art can be used in the wilderness.”
“F*ck, I don’t think I should go out and court death. With my speed, I’m afraid I won’t be able to start a fire even if I freeze to death.”
“Bell said that people will freeze to death in a few minutes. Is that true? Why don’t I believe it?”
“Previous poster, you really haven’t experienced -40 degrees before.”
Bell had no time to look at the comments in the live-stream. At this moment, he had already poured all the ashes into the kindling he had prepared in advance.
In order to start a fire as soon as possible, Bell had prepared a lot of shavings. After blowing, the fire rose.
There was a lot of pine resin in the pine needles, so the fire was stronger.
After adding a few thin firewood, the fire was stabilized.
