Chapter 272 The Challenge Begins
After the arrest, Bifang ended the live broadcast and rushed to the nearest airport.
Once the group arrived at a city near the Rocky Mountains, they were divided into three helicopters, each carrying four contestants, and airdropped one by one.
The capture was completed at about two in the afternoon, and by the time everyone reached the Rocky Mountains, it was already five in the evening.
Bifang sat in the helicopter and chatted with several contestants, and at the same time repeated the rules of the game again to make sure that no one regretted it in advance.
Mugalen, who was standing aside, had mixed feelings at the moment.
It was not until he was caught and put on the plane that he realized that Bifang's so-called participation was to serve as a judge. At that moment, no one could understand how drastic Mugalen's psychological changes were.
It's quite a desolate feeling to treat the other person as a strong rival, only to find out in the end that the other person doesn't even remember you exist.
In this situation, Mugalen thought he would be angry, but he changed his mind and was actually quite happy. Since Bifang would not participate...
Wouldn't it be possible for me to stand up straight?
The live broadcast was reopened and it only took three hours for the audience to become impatient. The arrest operation was not a warm-up at all, it was clearly a whet their appetite!
At this time, in front of millions of viewers, Bifang once again said the words that everyone is familiar with.
"Looking back at the evolution of mankind, if our ancestors did not have the adventurous and imaginative spirit, the courage to innovate and sacrifice, mankind would not have used canoes to surf the sea and explore the infinite mysteries on the other side of the ocean. Human curiosity generates the urge to adventure, and human adventure ignites the torch of civilization. Adventure is not only in the oceans and mountains, deserts and swamps of nature, but also in densely populated cities."
It's strange that I would say that.
Several contestants had watched the Bifang live broadcast, and they were all deeply touched when they heard these words that were so familiar to them.
No wonder he is so popular all over the world, his speaking level is not something that ordinary people can have.
"But..." Bifang changed the subject, "Today's protagonist is not me, but our fifteen contestants. During the first three days of live broadcast, everyone has a preliminary understanding of each contestant. However, what I want to say is that wilderness survival and urban escape are two different things."
"Don't assume that those who didn't escape capture are necessarily weaker than those who did. A hunter may not be able to beat a soldier, but they will definitely have stronger survival skills."
Mu Jialun, who was standing by, heard this and laughed: "Then I'll have both!"
【Old Mu is quite proud】
[I feel that Mugalen is still quite big]
【Come on, father-in-law! 】
[Mugalen: Before participating in the competition, I will first smash my son-in-law’s head! ]
"arrive."
Bifang heard the pilot's communication through his earphones, saying that the helicopter had arrived in the center of the Rocky Mountains.
"The Rocky Mountains are one of the most famous tourist destinations in North America. They have lakes, snow-capped mountains, meadows, wilderness, rivers, forests, glaciers, hot springs, waterfalls, canyons, and almost everything you can think of. It was also named one of the 50 must-visit places in life by the U.S. Geographic Information System."
"But hidden in the beautiful environment are equally deadly dangers. Natural beauty usually means pristine. Millions of people visit here every year, but more than a thousand of them can no longer return to the city."
“And the first challenge our contestants will face is to spend their first night in such a dangerous forest.”
The helicopter door slowly opened, the rosy sky and the orange forest seemed to blend together , and Bifang came to the deck of the door alone.
In the setting sun, helicopters and Black Hawks were hovering, and Bifang stood on the deck, with the setting sun behind him and the forest in front of him like a raging flame, as if the whole world was on fire.
It won't be long before the sun sets completely, and the ferocious predators will all come out to search for any food that can fill their stomachs.
[Fuck, this is pretty]
[The place chosen by Bifang, wasn't it beautiful that time? But I feel that the more beautiful it is, the more dangerous it is.]
【Cool, screen saver chapter! 】
After showing the forest scenery, Bifang looked back at the contestants and gave them reminders intentionally or unintentionally.
"Since you have chosen to participate in the competition, you must have a comprehensive understanding of the Rocky Mountains. However, I still want to remind you that it is now the end of February and it will be March before the end of the competition. Do you know the approximate time when black bears wake up from hibernation?"
After saying this, the faces of two contestants changed drastically.
March is the time when black bears gradually wake up from hibernation. After months of long sleep, they are all hungry!
The originally beautiful forest is suddenly full of dangers!
"Asiatic black bear?"
Mugalen was not afraid, but rather quite interested. The Rocky Mountains are in Canada, where there are both Asiatic black bears and American black bears.
American black bears hibernate longer, and most of the ones that wake up during this period are Asian black bears, which are smaller in size. The Asian black bear that Bifang encountered before was 1.7 meters , which is considered a rare big one. Most of them are around 1.5 meters long.
If you are well prepared, you may be able to fight.
"You seem very confident?"
Mu Jialun showed his bloodshot gums and laughed, "I can't say I'm confident, but it's not the first time I've encountered a black bear. If you haven't even considered the possibility of encountering a black bear, then why are you participating in this show?"
Bifang nodded and stopped talking. He instructed the staff to blindfold all four people. After the helicopter flew for a while, he ordered it to land and dropped the first contestant off. At the same time, two drones hovered around him.
This is the standard equipment for every contestant. Two drones are responsible for shooting, and there is also a bracelet that can detect heart rate and body temperature in real time to ensure that the values are within the safety threshold to avoid accidents. It can even display a countdown of three hundred hours. There is also an emergency button on the side. Once you can't hold on, you can press the button, which will be deemed as automatically giving up the competition and being taken back by helicopter.
But these things cannot be destroyed or used. Even the barrage displayed on the drones are manually selected by the staff. Although the efficiency is a bit low, it maintains interactivity and prevents the audience from conveying information to their favorite contestants through barrage.
After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Bifang came to the contestant and said, "Wait a minute, then you can take off the blindfold."
Then the helicopter took off again, and after a distance, it dropped off another contestant. After the last contestant, Mugalen, was dropped off, Bifang left one more thing.
As a reward for escaping capture, a 500g can of military meat.
Mugalen felt the weight of the can in his hand and was immediately satisfied: "It seems that I am lucky. Is it canned meat?"
"That's right."
Bifang nodded, and the six items were marked and the three people drew lots. Mugalen drew the number one can of meat.
Besides him, Ji Zuodong had a claw knife and Bono had a 20-meter piece of nylon rope.
"In one minute, you can take off the blindfold."
The same words were repeated four times. Bifang stopped admonishing and jumped to grab the cable dropped from the helicopter. He half hung in the air and saluted with a two-finger salute at the drone below.
"I am Bifang, this is the Wild Arena, I wish you all a happy game, and I sincerely hope that you will succeed in your challenge. "
