Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? Chapter 110 - Seeing the Blue Whale

Chapter 110: Seeing the Blue Whale

Bell sat up.
He rubbed his aching shoulder.
“Good morning, everyone. Our bamboo raft has been floating on the sea for the entire night.”
“To be honest, the sleep was quite bad.”
“The waves made the raft bumpier than I thought.”!!
“I feel like my body is about to fall apart.”
“Let’s pray that we can be saved today.”
Bell smiled and pressed his palms together.
But the next second, Bell’s eyes widened as he looked into the distance in disbelief.
It was a small black dot.
The audience in the live-stream was confused. They did not know what was wrong with Bell and were a little worried.
“What’s wrong? What is up with your expression?”
“Did you encounter a shark again?”
Everyone was a little worried. They were not on a deserted island, but in this vast sea. If they were targeted by a shark, the outcome could be imagined.
Bell shook his head.
“No, everyone is mistaken. I didn’t see a shark. I found a freighter!”
As soon as he said that, Scarlett and the others sat up.
They looked in the direction Bell was pointing.
There was a black spot in the distance.
Unfortunately, they were too far away, and the other party might not be able to notice them.
It would probably be difficult to catch up with the raft.
“Bell, what should we do? I don’t think they have noticed us.”
Scarlett Johansson said agitatedly.
The others were also anxious.
After all, the hope of survival was right in front of them. No one was willing to let it go.
Bell rubbed his chin.
“From this distance, the other party is about twenty nautical miles away from us.”
“This distance is too far. Unless someone on the ship happens to use a telescope, they will not be able to see us.”
“This possibility is too low. We can’t gamble.”
“We have to get this freighter to notice us first.”
Bell took out the dagger from his waist.
“To be honest, this is really betting on luck, but we really have no other choice.
I am going to use the reflection of light to attract the attention of the people on that ship. ”
Taking out the dagger, Bell clicked his tongue.
“There is a protective coloring on the dagger, and the reflective effect is not good.”
But there are other ways.
For example, the coconut oil collected earlier can have some reflective effect. ”
Bell smeared the oil on the dagger while talking.
Adjusting the angle of the reflection, Bell pointed the dagger smeared with coconut oil at the freighter.
He made a V sign with his fingers.
Everyone was puzzled by Bell’s actions.
They could understand the reflection, but what was the use of the gesture?
After all, they were so far away, they should not be able to see it.
Bell explained, “The reflected light can cover a long distance, but this is the sea after all. There are plenty of light sources. Even if it is reflected on the ship, it will be difficult to attract their attention, so we have to think of a way.”
“Block a portion of the light with your fingers. When the light reflects onto the freighter, it will create a shadow.”
“Some experienced crew members can tell that someone is asking for help.”
“Of course, you don’t have to make a V-shaped gesture like me. You can do whatever you want if the conditions allow it.”
Everyone finally understood.
At the same time, everyone had a premonition.
“Looks like the host’s survival round is over.”
“As expected, he is the first again.”
“It’s not accurate to say that he is first. Among the ten teams, only Bell’s team has succeeded in survival.”
“I wouldn’t have known if you didn’t tell me. Are the other people already eliminated? Weren’t there two other teams left?”
“The remaining two teams fought each other for food this morning, injuries appeared on both sides. In the end, they unanimously decided to withdraw from the competition.”
“…”
Looking at Bell’s side, everyone thought that he would definitely be saved.
However, time passed slowly.
The freighter did not approach Bell at all.
Instead, it moved further and further away and finally disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Scarlett and the others were disappointed.
Even Bell shook his head regretfully.
Bell said helplessly.
“Unfortunately, this freighter is too far away. They might not have seen the light.”
“But don’t worry too much. Since a freighter has appeared here, it means that there is a sea route. I believe it won’t be long before we encounter other ships.”
Scarlett and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
At least there was hope now.
While the few of them were talking, a sharp-eyed audience suddenly saw something.
“Host, be careful! There is a shadow under your raft!”
This comment was quickly noticed by everyone.
Everyone looked below Bell’s bamboo raft.
The next second, a huge shadow appeared below the bamboo raft.
It seemed like there was a huge creature swimming out of the sea.
Before Bell could react, the huge creature had already broken through the surface of the sea and jumped out with a bang.
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, this creature jumped up high from the sea.
Only when most of its body was revealed did Bell recognize what this huge thing was.
“This is a blue whale!”
The blue whale jumped out of the water, and its huge body blocked the sunlight above Bell.
Although they were not present there, this appearance still made the audience’s hearts palpitate.
“Oh my god, this is too shocking!”
“This blue whale is at least 30 meters long!”
Beside such a huge creature, Bell’s bamboo raft looked so small.
Everyone was excited and afraid to see such a rare creature.
Boom!
The blue whale crashed into the sea again.
Its huge body caused huge waves on the surrounding sea.
Bell quickly got Scarlett and the others to hold on to the bamboo raft.
The bamboo raft that was only a few meters long seemed so fragile.
After a while, the sea returned to calm.
Only when there was no danger did Bell stand up.
The women beside him had lingering fears.
“That was really scary. I thought the bamboo raft was going to be overturned.” Scarlett patted her trembling chest.
“We’re quite lucky to see a blue whale. You have to know that there are very few blue whales in the world now.”
“A huge blue whale jumped out of the sea in front of us. I believe very few people have seen such a scene with their own eyes.”
