Chapter 8 It's going to rain continuously

A few minutes later,

Xu Hao came to a few Haloxylon ammodendron trees and stopped.

It is common sense that there must be water under the green plants.

Moreover, this well needs to be used frequently and cannot be too far away from the future shelter.

In addition, the shelter should be chosen in a place with no quicksand or red willow trees to avoid the wind. Undoubtedly, a flat land with a slightly higher windward terrain is the best choice.

And here is less than fifty meters away from that flat land, the distance is perfect.

In the future, if I have the ability, I can build an earthen wall around it and it will become a proper northwest farmyard.

"Do it!"

After thinking about it, Xu Hao no longer hesitated and immediately rolled up his sleeves and dug up the Haloxylon ammodendron tree.

Although I have never been involved in wilderness survival before, I still know some common sense. Especially in the desert, it is no longer suitable to work after eleven o'clock.

As for digging a well?

As a doctoral student specializing in the restoration of ancient buildings on earth, this kind of life is not difficult for him at all.

After all, ancient buildings include too many things, including the structure and construction methods of some ancient wells. As long as the method is appropriate and some labor-saving tools are used, it will not be a problem to draw water in one day.

.......

Haishi, Tianchen Culture Headquarters Building,

meeting room,

Xu Chen and the directors of the company were staring closely at the big screen. What was displayed on the big screen was the pictures of the ten challengers in their respective areas.

"Mr. Xu, Xu Hao... are a bit unlucky. They chose the worst oasis. I guess they won't last long!"

Marketing Director Wang Wu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Xu Hao starting to dig up the Haloxylon ammodendron tree.

In his opinion,

Xu Hao was probably ready to quit the challenge before he cut down trees and built a shelter immediately.

The symbolic digging now is just to avoid losing face too much.

"Him? I never thought he could persist for more than three days, but what should other players do? All other players also quit the competition after a few days,"

Xu Chen glanced at the information the staff had just delivered, and rubbed his brows in distress.

It is normal for one or two players to withdraw, but if all players withdraw, it means there is something wrong with the organizer.

"Others? Mr. Xu, there should be no problem with the other players!"

Wang Wu looked puzzled.

"Look at the information we just received, there may be a continuous heavy rainfall in the northwest of Dragon Kingdom in the next fourteen days, which will last for a long time! It happens to be within our challenge area."

"Is it going to rain continuously?"

Wang Wu was stunned.

In recent years, the climate in the northwest has indeed been much wetter than it has been in 10,000 years, but such continuous rain is still extremely rare.

But after thinking about it, Wang Wu felt that it was nothing.

"Mr. Xu, most of the challengers this time brought tarpaulins and sleeping bags. The shelters they built should be able to block this continuous rain."

"It's no problem to keep out the rain, but what about the temperature? If it rains for several days in a row in the desert, the temperature at night is very likely to drop to below zero. And once it rains, the rain will extinguish the wood, making it difficult to start a fire!"

Xu Chen leaned on the back of the chair.

This is what worries him most.

Because the challenge is in the desert, these contestants are wearing very thin clothing. Once the body loses temperature, the consequences will be disastrous.

"this....."

Wang Wu also became more solemn when he heard this.

"Mr. Xu, what should we do now? The challenge has begun... It is unrealistic to escape this continuous rain and continue."

"In this way, you will ask the staff to inform these players later and tell them the weather conditions in the next fourteen days, so that they can prepare as early as possible and store as much dry firewood as they can!"

After a long time, Xu Chen sighed.

There seems to be no good solution at the moment. I just hope that these wilderness survival experts can have their own means of keeping warm.

"Okay, I'll go notify you right away!"

"Wait a minute, is the voting channel ready?"

Just when Wang Wu turned around to leave, Xu Chen suddenly thought of something and asked again.

It turns out that in order to create gimmicks and attract traffic for this wilderness survival event, Tianchen Culture specially organized an online voting event.

Each citizen's ID number can vote for one of their favorite contestants.

If the voted contestant can really succeed in the 100-day challenge in the desert, Tianchen Culture will randomly select ten lucky viewers from these voting audiences.

Each of these ten lucky viewers will receive a cheering prize of 500,000 yuan.

"Mr. Xu, we are ready!"

Wang Wu nodded.

"That's good, the voting channel will be officially opened at 12 noon!"

"Um!"

.......

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

At eleven o'clock noon,

The number of viewers in Kuai Dou’s official live broadcast room has reached 6 million, setting a new high for wilderness survival challenge programs.

At this time, there were not many voices talking about Xu Hao on the public screen, but they kept talking about the shelters of other players.

Because in their opinion, Xu Hao is already a broken person, and someone who doesn't even build a shelter is not worthy of attention at all. It is estimated that the live broadcast will be broadcast tonight and the traffic will be officially announced tomorrow to withdraw from the competition.

"Master Bei, are you going to build a shelter like a triangular shack?"

"At first glance, it should be A-shaped! And all the challengers this time should be building A-shaped shelters. A square shape cannot withstand the wind and sand in the Tengli Desert."

"But is his progress a little slower?"

"Haha, there is no other way. Who let Mr. Bei and Populus euphratica go through the trouble? What species is Populus euphratica? It will not fall for thousands of years! The tree is naturally difficult to cut down! Look at Mr. De and Matt, they chose dry willow, and the progress will be fast.

Quite a few!

Especially for Matt, the basic tripod has already been set up. All we need to do is lay down tarpaulins to fix the four corners, and the shelter will be complete!"

"If Populus euphratica is consumed, Populus euphratica will be consumed. I am not worried about Mr. Bei. With Mr. Bei's strength, he can survive for a few days even if he has no shelter."

"That's right, haven't you seen that Mr. Bei has gained a lot when he cut down the trees?"

"Huh? What did he gain?"

"I harvested a hedgehog and a few desert scorpions. At least I have enough food for tomorrow."

"So strong? Master Bei is indeed Master Bei!"

"That must be!"

Just as there were more and more comments on the public screen, a colorful pop-up window instantly ignited the atmosphere of the audience in the live broadcast room again.

"What? The official voting channel is open?"

"Then what are you waiting for? Just close your eyes and cast."

Audiences in the live broadcast room of the voting event have long known that although the contestants who succeed in the challenge will be randomly selected in the end, in their eyes, this event is much more reliable than the lottery.

At least it's true!

"Who are you going to vote for?"

"That goes without saying! Of course, choose one from Mr. Bei, Mr. De and Mr. Matt. As for the rest...well, I'll leave them to you!"

"Why? Are you so sure?"

"no way!"

"Except for Xu Hao, don't underestimate any other player. Take Zhu Qiang, who seems to be the weakest. In just one morning, his shelter has almost taken shape. Now he is waterproofing the shelter.
Chapter completed!
