Chapter 60 - Discovering the Oasis
Chapter 60: Discovering the Oasis
Although the taste of the raw camel meat was not good, it was fortunately acceptable.
After eating the entire camel leg, Bell felt the hunger in his stomach subside.
He sat comfortably on the ground.
“This camel is not small. It should be able to provide us with enough food to last a while. Moreover, the other things on the camel’s body are also very precious. For example, this camel’s fur.”
“In this climate, this thing will be of great help to us.”
“If we cut it properly, we can use it as a carpet. This way, even if there is no shelter, we don’t have to worry about catching a cold.”
With that, Bell began to skin the camel.
Although the camel’s fur was not very tough, it was too closely connected to the flesh, so it was not easy to peel.
Bell tried to peel it the way a sheep was skinned.
The effect was not bad.
Half an hour passed when he finished separating the flesh and the skin of the entire camel.
He placed the camel skin on the hot sand.
The hot sand only took a moment to completely dry the camel’s skin, and the water in it completely evaporated.
Then, Bell used the dagger to cut the camel’s meat and stored all the edible parts in his backpack.
After doing all this, Bell heaved a sigh of relief.
“To be honest, I should thank this camel. Although it is dead, it has indeed provided me with enough nutrients.”
“With this meat, at least we don’t have to worry about food today.”
With that, Bell looked at the camel’s corpse.
In the end, he decided to bury it in the sand.
“This might waste some of our energy, but it can be the last form of respect.”
In the broadcast room, the beautiful host was also watching Bell’s actions.
Seeing that Bell did not forget to bury the camel after eating it, she couldn’t help but nod and praise Bell for being kind.
“Our contestant is still young. It’s rare to maintain such a kind heart.”
“It doesn’t violate the purpose of survival in the wilderness, and also is not cruel.”
“Indeed, even I would not give up on such a camel. However, I might not think of burying it.”
Ed and Bear commented as they watched Bell’s actions on the screen.
Li Ziqi’s heart ached for Bell.
‘How can this guy eat everything randomly?’
‘Fortunately, it’s just some hump meat this time. What if it’s poisonous next time?’
Li Ziqi complained inwardly.
There were others who were also paying attention to Bell.
For example, Scarlett Johansson.
Compared to Li Ziqi’s heartache, Scarlett Johansson found Bell’s actions interesting. He even looked manly.
“It’s good to eat more to nourish yourself. Grow up quickly.”
Recalling Bell’s disheveled appearance, Scarlett couldn’t help but laugh.
In the office of a skyscraper, Hanks looked at the live broadcast of Bell on his computer screen and couldn’t help but secretly gulp his saliva.
“No wonder this guy can increase his fans so quickly. The effe00ct of this program is indeed extraordinary.”
Because he had signed the contract with Bell, Hanks paid special attention to Bell.
After all, this also involved his future.
Hanks thought that if Bell wanted to increase the number of fans to the required number, it would take at least two months or even three months if he encountered some difficulties.
By then, the company and he could use the opportunity to adjust the contract.
According to the bet, the points of profit distribution would be lowered by a level.
However, from the looks of it, this three-month contract would probably upgrade again after three months and become the top contract on the platform.
Thinking of that scene, Hanks couldn’t help but swallow.
“Oh my god, no, I have to tell the boss about this.”
With this in mind, Hanks couldn’t care less.
He quickly walked to the leader’s office.
As the live broadcast became longer, Bell’s reputation increased.
The number of fans began to increase.
From the initial five million to six million and six and a half million, it had reached seven million.
Knowing the thoughts of the audience, the broadcast room would broadcast some scenes of Bell’s survival from time to time, drawing more attention to him.
Some manufacturers also paid attention to Bell.
Bell was still walking in the desert.
The noon sun seemed to have become even more sinister.
Although he had already eaten some food, his stamina was exhausted quickly under the sunlight.
Bell had not rested since last night. He had been traveling the entire time.
Fortunately, he was lucky to have encountered this camel.
But Bell also knew that he could not encounter such a good thing again.
Hunger surged again.
“The sunlight now is too intense. Under normal circumstances, I would have chosen to avoid it.”
“But from what I know, there should be an oasis not far from us.”
“We can find water and food there. There’s nothing we can do about it. Let’s hurry up.”
“We don’t have water resources now, we can’t stay here easily.”
“If you dare to stop, the end result will be death.”
Gritting his teeth, Bell continued moving.
The poisonous sunlight was making him dizzy.
He was enduring solely by his willpower.
Seeing how Bell was swaying, even the audience couldn’t help but worry for him.
They were afraid that Bell would collapse.
Just as Bell was about to reach his limit, an oasis appeared not far away.
There was a clear lake in the middle of the oasis, and dense plants were around it. There were even some animals drinking water around the lake.
It was like a dream in the desert that was covered in yellow sand.
After confirming that it was not an illusion, Bell ran crazily towards the water.
He dove in the lake without caring about anything else. His body temperature quickly fell.
Bell popped his head out of the water and said happily.
“You can never imagine how it feels to find an oasis in such a situation.”
“I feel much happier than winning a lottery.”
Seeing that Bell had discovered the oasis, the audience seemed to have discovered a new land and became restless.
“The host is awesome!”
“Amazing host!”
