Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness

Reserving a spot, not ready yet,

I’ll return before 1 am.

Baus’s words were like a thunderclap on a clear day, and the live broadcast room fell silent for a moment,

Japan’s Ocean Deputy Minister poisoned by mercury!?

Bi Fang suddenly felt this incident somewhat familiar. A spark flickered in the palace of his mind, and he suddenly remembered something similar from a previous life!

It was shortly after Dolphin Bay was announced that the Ocean Deputy Minister had an incident—mercury poisoning.

Although the details of the poisoning were unknown, it was imaginable that it was not easy to bear.

Metal poisoning, even if treatable with modern technology, still had a significant chance of leaving sequelae, especially mercury.

Did it happen this morning?

Bi Fang was secretly surprised. He hadn’t been online since coming here, and he was unaware of what had happened.

In his former life, the time of the Dolphin Bay incident was in ’09 when online media was far less developed than now, so those who knew were few.

But things are different nowadays. Every move of Japan’s Ocean Department was clearly being watched by a plethora of media, and when something like this happened, it was immediately highlighted with big stories, coupled with "whale meat" in supermarkets, the scoffing was very obvious.

Compared with Bi Fang’s outward calm, the audience was much more direct, sending a barrage of congratulatory messages. Many immediately went online to search and indeed found that it was true.

When people learned that Japan’s Ocean Deputy Minister had mercury poisoning, a feeling of satisfaction arose in their hearts, as the evildoer had received nature’s retribution.

Japan is a maritime nation, and now the excessive overfishing of the ocean will definitely first hurt these island nations. This was evident from the situation with saury.

Saury can lay eggs in spring, autumn, and winter, has a short lifespan, strong resource recovery capabilities, and is in great abundance worldwide. Yet, such a fish could be overfished to the point of sharp population decline after migrating to Japan, and then other countries are blamed, which reveals a lot about the situation.

It’s sad to see such shortsightedness.

But that’s a story for another time.

The Dolphin Bay saga has thus come to a complete close.

Bi Fang snapped back to reality, thanked Baus for informing him of the news, and brought everything back to proper order.

"It’s not easy to find such good weather in the Central Country. What do we have planned for today? I’ve cleared my whole day," Baus said, his tone full of anticipation.

Just like Leonardo, Baus only had one day, but for a different reason.

Leonardo’s was due to the environment being too dangerous to stay for long for fear of accidents, while Baus was simply extremely busy. After all, being a nation’s prime minister, taking a day off was quite difficult.

Bi Fang looked up at the sun and nodded, explaining to the audience.

"The location of the Central Country is mid to high latitude, classified as typical temperate maritime climate.

In comparison to other countries of the same latitude, the Central Country also has the North Atlantic, which constantly ’supplies’ it with increased temperature and humidity; secondly, due to the influence of mid-latitude westerly winds, the rainfall in the Central Country is always in a ’state of excess’."

"Because of such conditions, winters in the Central Country never drop below -3 to 10 degrees Celsius, and furthermore, heating is standard in homes, so winters are quite comfortable here."

"Similarly, summers are also not too hot, typically between 15 and 22 degrees Celsius. Days exceeding 30 degrees can be counted on one’s fingers."

"To my knowledge, most countries in Europe start their heatwave warnings from 30 degrees, while in Huaxia, it starts from 35 degrees and must continue for several days before a warning is issued."

Because of this, even in the scorching heat of September, Bi Fang didn’t feel any warmth, instead, the sea breeze brought a faint coolness.

Compared to walking a few steps in Japan and immediately sweating bullets, this was a completely different situation, much more comfortable.

Baus listened silently on the side, nodding continuously in agreement with Bi Fang’s statement, especially in London.

Overcast days, occasionally accompanied by rain showers, day after day, seemed endless. Many foreigners who lived there were startled to realize after a few years that London indeed lacked sunny days; the dark-hued old buildings matched with the gray sky and dense fog were the true visage of London.

Air conditioning was rarely seen here.

As for the weather being warm in winter and cool in summer, thinking of this, Baus laughed, "Fang, you haven’t lived in the Central Country, but nowadays, apart from the suburban areas, it’s also very hot in summer there, especially in the subway carriages, where temperatures can even exceed 35℃. The oldest subway line in London has carriages that can reach over 40℃!"

"If it weren’t for budget constraints, I would definitely install air conditioning in the subways!"

With hundreds of years of industrial development, the heat island effect has become pronounced, and London now experiences cold winters and scorching summers, a significant change from the past.

Bi Fang smiled but said nothing; in his opinion, this couldn’t really be considered hot.

Europeans typically handle cold better than heat and have a very different definition of what constitutes heat; at least Bi Fang didn’t find the thirty-five-degree subways difficult to endure.

When Bi Fang arrived in the Central Country, he had been to London and taken the subway without feeling uncomfortably hot, but the smell was unforgettable.

The body odor of the people of the Central Country was too severe; while riding the subway, Bi Fang had to endure the "long-marinated" smell of sweat and stinky feet in the closed carriages.

With his keen sense of smell, coupled with the cheap "Cologne Perfume," that scent was truly "unparalleled"!

Talking about this, Bi Fang and Baus seemed to find a common topic all of a sudden and began to rant, not stopping until they reached the edge of the black cliffs.

The scene was somewhat similar to when Bi Fang had sighted land while adrift at sea, and looking at Baus by his side, his mind started to make plans.

"We need to climb up first, and after we get up, we’ll find a suitable spot to camp, then make a fire, and build a simple safety house, although it might mean a lot of walking."

"I have no problem with that." Baus seemed very confident, believing he was still strong enough.

Seeing this, Bi Fang nodded. He took out a length of rope from his backpack, tied one end to Baus, and explained, "To prevent any accidents, we should take safety precautions, otherwise, it’s very likely that I won’t be able to walk out of the Central Country alive."

[The Closest I’ve Ever Been to Death]

[Drone: I’m watching over you all the time.]

[Could there be a sniper rifle aimed at Bi Fang (Dog’s head)]

"It’s not as bad as a sniper rifle." Bi Fang sensed no danger and didn’t spot any reflective objects, "The homeland security in the Central Country is quite high."

There was no one around, and the Central Country didn’t have any large predators; even wolves had been extinct since the 18th century.

The only possible threat was snakes, perhaps?

Bi Fang, having secured the rope, began to climb the cliff. The ten or so meters did not pose much of a challenge to him; all he needed was to find good footholds in advance, a matter of mere minutes.

After climbing up, Bi Fang pulled on the rope, helping Baus to give it a try.

Surprisingly, Baus indeed had some outdoor experience and quickly made it up with Bi Fang’s assistance.

The two of them then started looking for a suitable place to stay on foot.
