Chapter 305
305 Siberian Tiger’s Territory
Once a person suddenly fell into ice water, they would be extremely flustered.
They would subconsciously drink a large amount of ice water which would further hasten the speed that the core heat decreased.
Therefore, no matter what season it is, once you accidentally fall into the water, you have to remain calm.
However, although this sounded simple, few people could really calm down in the face of such a life and death crisis.
If everyone could do it, thousands of people would not have drowned in the water every year.
Bell did not hesitate at all. The moment he fell into the ice water, he immediately activated his Wilderness Hunter skill.
Because in this situation, he had to ensure that his limbs could move properly. Once he had a cramp, it would be difficult to climb out of the water again.
If he was washed away by the water now, there would be an additional layer of ice above his head. There was no way to tell how thick this layer of ice would be.
The Wilderness Hunter skill was indeed the most practical skill that Bell had drawn.
Bell could not even remember how many times he had been saved by this skill.
As the skill was activated, the power in his body began to surge.
His adrenaline soared. Bell, who was freezing, felt warm all over.
He did not dare to delay. He stretched his hands out of the water. At the same time, he pressed his upper body against the water.
Using the buoyancy of the ice, he could stick his head out of the water.
However, the ice was not strong to begin with. After Bell’s struggle, there was a series of chain reactions.
Fortunately, Bell did not hope to use the ice to return to the surface.
Bell kept moving his feet in the water, pushing his body to break through the broken ice and swim to the shore.
Fortunately, this stream was not wide to begin with. Coupled with the fact that Bell was already close to the shore, he quickly reached the shore.
After going ashore, the first thing Bell did was to take off his backpack and clothes.
He had to change into dry clothes while the effect of the skill was not over.
Otherwise, it would not take long for him to lose all feeling in his limbs.
In the temperature of -40 °C, even with the enhancement of the skill, Bell still felt his core heat rapidly decreasing.
Cold wind blew past his skin like knives.
With trembling hands, he opened his backpack and took off his down jacket and pants. After putting them on, he felt slightly better.
As for the wet clothes, Bell would definitely not wear them again before they dried.
Wearing them would only speed up the loss of heat.
However, he could not leave them like this.
He stuffed all these clothes into his backpack.
Fortunately, Bell was fast. His clothes were already stiff from the cold.
Bell trembled as he looked at the camera and said.
“I have to start moving intensely to maintain my heart rate. Otherwise, with only this layer of clothes, I will freeze to death before I even reach the pine forest. ”
Bell’s down jacket and clothes were a little loose because there was a layer of clothes missing. Cold wind kept entering through the gaps in his clothes.
Carrying his backpack, Bell looked at the distant pine forest and was not in a hurry to move. Instead, he maintained a stable pace and did not forget to explain.
“Remember, in this situation, the greatest taboo is intense exercise.
Because once you exercise intensely, you will sweat. In this extremely cold temperature, sweat will freeze and form a layer of ice on the skin.
You can well imagine how fast your body will lose its heat.
What we have to do now is to get warm.
The pine forest is about 3km away. In other words, I have to run for three kilometers. Once I stop, the sweat on my body will quickly freeze. ”
For a soldier, running across 3km with weights was more like daily training.
Moreover, compared to Bell’s current load, the special forces used even more weight.
They usually used 30 kilograms and would run 20km.
If Bell was in his peak state, with his current physique, it would not be a problem to run even 40 kilometers with weights.
But Bell could not do that now.
It was mainly because the thick snow affected his speed.
Bell was like a kangaroo, jumping constantly on the rocks.
Because below the stone was a thin layer of ice and a waist-length stream.
Bell did not have a second chance. He tried his best to maintain his balance while moving.
He explained to the camera while maintaining his balance.
“When we jump, we have to maintain our balance.
After all, the snow on these stones is very slippery. If I fall into the water again, I won’t have any dry clothes to change into.
By then, it will really be over. ”
In this tense situation, Bell moved for two hours and finally entered the pine forest.
Bell did not start a fire immediately.
It was still early. There were still about two hours before nightfall.
Bell could not waste this time. Anyway, he had already entered the pine forest, so there was no hurry.
The intense exercise along the way increased the temperature of Bell’s body, and white mist constantly emitted from his body.
“Wait!”
Bell suddenly stopped in his tracks.
There was a row of clear footprints on the snow in front of him.
Bell bent down and carefully checked.
He realized that the footprints in front of him were very deep.
That meant that the animal was not small.
The footprint was larger than an adult’s palm.
There was no joy on Bell’s face. Instead, there was a trace of seriousness.
Bell turned to look at the camera and said solemnly.
“If I’m not wrong, these footprints on the ground should belong to a feline.”
Bell opened his hand and made a comparison.
“Do you see these footprints? Their owner is at least three meters tall.
Clearly, only Siberian tigers can have such deep footprints on this icy plain.
It seems like we have already entered the territory of a Siberian tiger. ”
