Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness

When all the signs appeared consecutively, the vertical smoke, like a streak of ink, connected everything together.

Bi Fang suddenly stood up, looking at the increasingly dark sky, his heart pounding wildly.

In the wilderness, the most frightening thing, without a doubt, is natural disasters, which, in his opinion, rank first, even more terrifying than the attack of a ferocious beast.

The so-called “man conquers nature” is nothing but a joke in the face of real natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes; humans and ants at the roadside are no different fundamentally.

The audience in front of the screen also jumped with fright when Bi Fang suddenly stood up, thinking something had happened.

[What’s going on, why did he suddenly stand up?]

[Hahaha, could it be a bear is coming again? But are there bears in Mohe?]

[He looks very serious, did something happen?]

There were all sorts of guesses in the live stream room, but none hit the nail on the head.

Without hesitation, Bi Fang immediately buried the fire with snow to prevent forest fires and to conceal his tracks while telling everyone his guesses.

“At first, I thought it was just because the air was more turbid today that the sky seemed dark, but did you notice that the smoke from the fire just now was totally vertical! And occasionally when the wind direction changes, it still veers to the northeast! All these factors are just too coincidental.”

“As we have been traveling, we can also clearly notice that today’s temperature is much higher than yesterday’s.”

At this point, the audience was becoming more confused as they listened. Although these phenomena were strange, what exactly did they entail?

“Mohe is the coldest place in our country. Due to the alternating influence of continental and oceanic monsoons, the microclimate is highly variable, with significant local climate differences. In spring and autumn, due to the interchange of winter and summer monsoons, the climate is changeable, and many times, a rainstorm or snowstorm can come very suddenly.”

“If my analysis is correct, there’s likely to be a snowstorm coming up!”

A snowstorm!!!

The audience in the live stream was genuinely startled upon hearing this news.

Even Wang Yongbo was taken aback when he heard this. He was uncertain whether to continue the broadcast, as a snowstorm would make it impossible for the helicopter to reach them, and in the event of an emergency, they couldn’t count on the rescue team.

But seeing Bi Fang on the screen remaining calm, he composed himself again, ready to see how things would unfold. If Bi Fang signalled to stop, he would immediately send help.

“That’s right, the key to the formation of a snowstorm is temperature and moisture. If there’s severe convective weather, meaning a rapid temperature rise and intense air movement with strong uplifting forces, it will keep pulling up a lot of water vapor.”

“In Mohe, because the temperature is low enough, the water vapor will only condense in the air, resulting in snowfall!”

“Plus, high temperature and low pressure are like twins; an increase in temperature brings low pressure, and snowstorms are caused by low-pressure weather systems. At this time, the low pressure and strong convection result in smoke that drifts straight up, even if there’s a crosswind, it’s often a southwesterly wind.”

“All these signs have appeared, so I conclude there will be a snowstorm coming!”

With this analysis, not only the audience but also Lu Wentao was dumbfounded.

Adhering to the strategic principle of despising the enemy overall but taking them seriously tactically, Lu Wentao had been studying stealthily at home these two days, seeking to learn Master Fang’s skills to best him. But Bi Fang’s recent analysis genuinely gave him a start.

Brother, aren’t you a wilderness survival expert?

How did you become a climate expert all of a sudden?

And this string of professional analyses might even be daunting for a real meteorologist, might it not?

But for Bi Fang, it was nothing out of the ordinary; after all, practice makes perfect.

The purple “Wilderness Survivalist” Skill not only granted him powerful knowledge and abilities but also a wealth of experience in the wilderness, which made his perception of changes in the outdoor environment extremely sharp, even surpassing some professionals!

“Wilderness survival, in essence, is about humans striving to live in a natural environment, and climate is a part of nature, so isn’t it reasonable for me to understand it?”

“The power of nature is overwhelming. Even though humans have emphasized dominating nature since the Industrial Revolution, the fact remains that, even today, humans are still extremely weak before nature. Earthquakes, tsunamis —in the face of these major disasters, we humans have virtually no capacity to resist. Even in recent years, the discourse on conquering nature has lessened, gradually shifting towards a reverence for nature.”

[Master Fang, please begin your lecture!]

[This act is big enough, good enough, strong enough! I admire it! I appreciate it! I envy it! When can I also be this strong?]

[It’s probably impossible. Master Fang’s awesome is based on real strength, whereas your awesome is based on the keyboard.]

[That hurts, bro, boo hoo hoo…]

In the live broadcast room, the teasing gradually subsided, and the content of the bullet comments began to unify around one question: what should be done next?

“When a blizzard strikes, heavy snow will be accompanied by strong winds, and in extremely harsh conditions, the flying snow will fill the sky, reducing visibility to less than one meter. In such an environment, we might not even be able to determine if it is snowing and can easily lose our sense of direction, which could lead to getting lost and freezing to death in the wilderness.”

“Moreover, the snow accumulation from the blizzard can form massive snowdrifts that block roads and even bury tents and houses, so if you encounter a blizzard, you must find a place to take shelter and then wait for it to end.”

As Bi Fang spoke, he continued on his way, but within minutes, the sky, which had been somewhat sunny, rapidly darkened, and the howling wind began to whip up vast swathes of snowflakes into a flurry.

This was too sudden.

Such an exaggerated scene made the audience in the live broadcast room unable to discern whether it had started to snow, and everyone began to worry about Bi Fang.

The world became bleak, with the snow falling wildly.

With each step Bi Fang took, the howling snowflakes would immediately bury his footprints, and the strong wind made it difficult for him to keep his balance, each step requiring a great deal of effort.

Finally, after advancing another hundred meters, Bi Fang found a suitable leeward slope. He leaned against the snow, holding onto the unmanned drone, which was shaking violently in the wind, and shouted, “Now, we need a shelter to help us get through this, just like before, we’ll dig a snow cave.”

“First, we need to find a leeward slope, like this one here, where a lot of powdery snow has been blown over by the wind. And if you dig here, due to the slope, gravity will help you move the snow down, which can save us a lot of energy.”

Due to the blizzard, Bi Fang had to shout very loudly as he vigorously dug through the snow so that the viewers in front of the screen could hear him clearly.

The wind grew stronger, and soon, a thick layer of snow accumulated on Bi Fang’s head and shoulders. The sudden drop in temperature began to stiffen his limbs.

He didn’t dig the hole downwards because that would create a well, and all the cold air would settle on top, which would only result in being buried alive.

Watching such a shocking scene, many viewers stopped typing and silently cheered him on.
