Chapter 792: Catching a Camel
Since assistance is available, Bifang must naturally use it with caution.
People or animals.
Between the two, Bifang undoubtedly chose the latter, and decided at the very beginning to rely on the power of the desert ship in the Sahara.
One of the key factors of this mission is the time limit - one hundred and twenty days.
Whether crossing Point Nemo or crossing the Sahara, it would take a long time, and the 120-day deadline was really tight. To be on the safe side, we naturally had to choose assistance that could shorten the time.
In the mission of crossing Point Nemo, neither humans nor animals can increase the actual sailing speed.
If you choose people to help, at most two people can build a better boat together, but no matter how good the boat is, there will be no qualitative breakthrough in speed, and a 10% increase at best is the best.
Let alone choosing an animal, having an animal on a canoe would be a hassle and would do nothing but cause trouble.
But crossing the Sahara is different.
Selecting people is also useless. Two people have four legs. Can one person carry another person and move forward day and night?
But if you choose an animal, such as a camel, then the time to cross the Sahara will be greatly reduced! It is definitely not comparable to the 10% speed of the ship.
A typhoon in the South Pacific helped, shortening the time by five days than expected. With the arrival of another camel in the Sahara, the 120-day deadline was no longer an urgent restriction, but instead left some room for spare time.
Bifang essentially enjoys the tasks assigned by the system. Although they are dangerous and full of difficulties, every success is a baptism for himself and brings him a great sense of inner satisfaction.
This is just like playing those suffering games. Although the boss is difficult and cruel, and you may have to die all day, when you really succeed in the challenge, the sense of accomplishment is unparalleled.
If time is too tight, then we can only keep moving forward, which will miss out on a lot of fun, and the scenery along the way will disappear in the intense race.
To sum up, we have the current scene.
As for why Mugalen was here, it was purely a coincidence. In short, this guy was traveling with his family.
Milani will be attending school next year.
Bifang has always felt that from the moment of entering school, life is like a rolling wheel that can never stop.
The feeling of freedom that you can go out and bask in the sun whenever you want because the weather is nice is gone forever.
Just look at Etienne. He can only spare some time during the winter and summer vacations. He is destined not to travel far on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
With the arrival of the rare spring day, I can only sit by the window and feel that the sun's inclination angle seems to have increased a little. When I write, I will no longer be blocked by the shadow of my palm, and my eyes feel a lot more comfortable.
The simple saddle fell to the ground, raising a little dust.
Bifang picked it up, patted it gently, shook off the sand and gravel, and tied it with a rope on his back.
"Do you really want to catch a wild camel? It's not that easy to tame this creature, right?" Mugalen wiped the sweat off his forehead and was a little skeptical. However, he didn't know much about taming camels and just instinctively felt that it was difficult.
"We have to try it anyway. And it's not a wild camel, it's a wild camel," Bifang corrected.
"Wild camels, wild domestic camels..." Mugalen was a little dumbfounded, "Aren't these all wild camels?"
"They are different. Wild camels are wild camels, and wild domestic camels are still domestic camels. Domestic camels and wild camels have nothing to do with each other."
"Wait, wait, please speak slower. I can't understand you."
A nimble Indian jungle warrior can fight a mountain lion hand-to-hand, win every battle and live comfortably in the jungle, but he may not be able to do the same in a barren desert.
As a top deer hunter, Mugalen was naturally quite skilled, but he obviously knew very little about camels, a desert creature.
The difference between wild camels and domestic camels is also a common misconception among most people. If there were no reproductive isolation, the two could even be said to be two species.
"Wait a minute." Bifang didn't rush to explain. He took out a drone from his bag, threw it into the sky, and it flew up. One drone after another flew up, leaving Mugalen stunned.
"Your drone has a rather quick hovering response."
“The latest model is this.”
Bifang opened the live broadcast without changing his expression.
Mugalen is a rough man, how could he understand cutting-edge technology?
Anyway, since it involves catching a camel, I have to explain it in the end. I have to explain it to Mugalen alone and to millions of viewers. It’s a good time to start the live broadcast and get it done in one go.
As soon as the live broadcast room was opened, the attention reminder was immediately delivered to all fans. There was another blowout of viewers. In just five minutes, the number of viewers exceeded three million. The rapid growth was astonishing. According to this trend, the number will exceed six million in a quarter of an hour , and there may be eight million viewers in half an hour!
[Front row, sofa, I am the first! ]
【Today is also the Night Watch Champion! 】
[It’s only 3pm here, so cool, I just finished afternoon tea]
[It’s 9 o’clock in the evening. I’ve just finished a day’s work and am ready for some entertainment. Perfect time! ]
[Fuck, it’s only been two days, and they’re starting live streaming so soon? ]
Audiences from all over the world flocked in, but the strange time difference could not hinder their enthusiasm for watching the live broadcast. Instead, they kept sending their local schedules, as if they experienced the wonderful feeling of being in the same time and space.
When the initial excitement of entering the live broadcast room faded a little, everyone saw the bright sun above Bifang's head and the yellow sand in the distance.
Obviously, the desert area known to the public is not far ahead, and there are some bushes growing under the feet of Bifang, Mugalun, and the camel in Mugalun's hand. The ground is not completely fine sand, but a combination of gravel and sand.
[Huh, the sun is so bright! ]
[I'm already feeling hot, what should I do? 】
[One hundred and twenty days , time is really tight, how many days are left? ]
[It took thirty-four days to cross Point Nemo . We finished the day before yesterday, which means two days later, thirty-seven days have passed. So there are eighty-three days left! Go, go, go!]
[Fang Shen has been taking good care of himself these past two days. He looks like an old uncle after being tanned.]
Bifang subconsciously looked at his arms. They were a little darker, but still dark wheat color, not as exaggerated as the netizens said.
We were really sunburned in the first week or so of crossing Point Nemo, and even had some dandruff on our arms, the parts of our bodies that were exposed the longest. But then the typhoon came and it was mostly cloudy, so the exposure to the sun was reduced a lot.
Bifang is only twenty-six years old. His body is at its absolute peak and he has a strong ability to recover. Before setting off today, he shaved his beard and had a new haircut. Except for his darker skin color, you can't even tell that he had been drifting on the sea for more than a month.
"No matter how tanned I am, I am still a handsome guy."
Bifang clenched his fist and said seriously.
