Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? Chapter 102 - Making the Raft

Chapter 102: Making the Raft

“Looks like the various skills given by the system will also enhance my physique to a certain extent.”
“Ordinary eight-year-olds would never be able to do this, not even with years of training.”
“There seems to be some strengthening potion in the shop. I wonder what level my physique can reach after using them.”
Looking at the goods in the system shop, Bell couldn’t help but swallow.
At the same time, he was looking forward to the growth of his fans.!!
After these two days, Bell’s fans increased by 1 million again.
Bell already had 15 million fans.
It was mostly thanks to Victor and Hans.
It could be said that these two guys had created an opportunity for Bell. Many audiences who were not familiar with Bell knew him because of this.
Of course, these two did not have good intentions, and Bell would not thank them for this.
“At this rate, I should be able to obtain shares in the video platform in a year.”
Bell did not forget the agreement he had made with Hanks.
As long as he could ensure the growth of his fans for a year, according to the bet, Bell could enter the platform and become a shareholder.
At that time, he would be a winner in life.
Of course, Bell did not plan to give up on wilderness survival streaming.
After all, there was the system.
He had some thoughts and plans for the future.
There were many unexplored environments in this world. If he went to stream in all those places, it would be enough for him to record for more than ten years.
Whether it was the fatal and dangerous delta state, the primitive tribes filled with mystery, or blind spots not covered by satellites.
These were all his goals.
However, he could not challenge these yet.
Compared to the common survival environment, they had their own dangers. There were even rumors of some unnatural powers.
He had to be extra careful when exploring these environments.
At least, before reaching a certain level of strength to protect himself, Bell would not take this risk.
After all, he only had this one life.
The night passed peacefully.
The next morning, Bell went to the volcano cone again.
The three banana trees they encountered on the way had already withered and died.
“Unfortunately, no one has been here. It seems like we won’t be rescued through air. We can only choose another way to leave this place.”
“In the Pacific region, the Polynesians can create a kind of dugout canoes that can travel for hundreds of nautical miles.”
“Of course, it will take some time to create this kind of dugout canoe. We don’t have the time now, but we can make some simple bamboo rafts.”
Bell explained to the screen.
“This bamboo raft is not much different from the bamboo raft I made in Shennongjia. It just needs to be stronger.”
“Because the weather at sea is very bad, and the impact of the waves is greater. If they are not firm, they might be scattered by the waves before long.”
“Fortunately, we have some experience in making bamboo rafts.”
Bell had exchanged skills for tool making with the system, including the bamboo raft.
He could use limited raw materials to create the strongest bamboo raft.
While speaking, Bell had already returned to the shelter.
“Alright, everyone, we need to plan now.”
Scarlett and the others stood up and waited for Bell’s arrangements.
After these few days, the few of them had already subconsciously treated Bell as the leader of this team. Although Bell was so young, they were convinced in his abilities.
“There is no plane to rescue us now, so we have to go out to sea. After all, there is not much food and water here. My idea is to build a bamboo raft with two layers.”
“Because we have to move in the sea. The seawater is different from ordinary rivers. The wind and waves here are huge, and they can cause damage to the bamboo raft. Moreover, seawater has a certain corrosive property.”
“In the vast sea, I don’t have to say much about what the shattering of the bamboo raft means.”
“The double layer bamboo raft can provide us with greater buoyancy and strength.”
“With enough binding materials, even if it is attacked by the waves, it will not be broken.”
“The most important thing is that the double-layered bamboo raft can let us have as little contact with the sea as possible.”
“We can put something buoyant in the middle of the bamboo raft.”
“Everyone knows that plastic bottles and coconut have buoyancy that can be used to fill the layers.”
“In addition, we have to create a sail to control the general direction of the bamboo raft.”
“I’m not used to the feeling of placing my life in the hands of fate, so I have to choose the direction myself.”
“If you follow the waves in the sea, there’s a high chance that you will go farther and farther away from the shore.”
“But with a sail, the result will be different. We can use the wind to go where we want to go.”
After explaining everything, Bell looked at Natalie and the others.
“We need about 25 bamboo poles. Because we have more people, we have to create a larger bamboo raft.”
“After chopping the bamboo, we will dry it on the beach and evaporate as much water as possible. This way, the buoyancy will be greater.”
“The mission today is divided into three parts. A team will gather buoyant things for the bamboo raft.”
“The other team will go and gather food and water.”
“I’ll cut the bamboo and bring it back to the beach.”
Bell handed the four women the two most idle missions.
As for the food, because there was still the bull shark left, it was not an urgent issue.
As long as they were lucky enough to find fresh water, it would be good, but it was fine even if they could not find it. They still had a few coconuts that they could use as a reserve water source.
As for the filling, it was quite simple. There were sometimes some foamed plastics and empty bottles on the shore.
Overall, there was no difficulty.
Bell began another day of work.
Cutting and transporting more than 20 bamboo poles, even with Bell’s current stamina, he was exhausted.
Bell worked until evening before completing the task.
Fortunately, Scarlett and the others did not disappoint Bell.
They had completed their tasks as well.
Keira Knightley was clearly much luckier today. She even found a few sea cucumbers and some oysters by the sea.
“Not bad, it seems like you have grasped some techniques. You have to collect the useful things.”
“We can’t ignore food and water.”
