Lu Fan and his large horn searched cautiously upstream for a long time, leaving no stone unturned.
He carefully examined every patch of disturbed soil, trying to find something else, hoping to discover any leftover items or clues.
His eyes were sharp, not missing any unusual bends in the grass or any signs of human-made breakage in the branches.
However, apart from the occasional startled birds taking flight and the babbling of the river, nothing was found.
As night fell, the danger in the wilderness increased exponentially. Left with no other choice, Lu Fan could only return to the shelter with a heart full of doubts and vigilance.
Throughout the journey, he kept thinking about where the sock came from, and various dangerous scenarios kept flashing through his mind.
Big Horn seemed to sense its master's seriousness and quietly followed behind, no longer as lively as usual.
Back at the shelter, Lu Fan ate a simple meal and then sat by the campfire in deep thought.
They even forgot to deal with the piece of gold.
At this moment, the viewers in the live broadcast room were having a heated discussion, as if a pot had exploded.
People were worried about the origin of the socks, speculating about the hidden dangers behind them.
Just when everyone was getting anxious, a seasoned viewer known as a "geography expert" made his appearance.
With his extensive geographical knowledge and keen observation skills, he launched a brilliant reasoning and analysis.
"Look, everyone, by analyzing the environment and vegetation where Lu Fan is located, and by combining the topographic map with the contour lines, we can determine that this river originates from the mountains in the northeast."
From a geographical perspective, the upper reaches of rivers are often at higher elevations and have complex terrain, mostly consisting of mountains or hills.
The analysis is based on the amount of sediment carried by the river, the flow velocity, and the erosion of the riverbanks.
About thirty kilometers upstream, there is a relatively flat area formed by river alluvium.
From the perspective of wilderness survivalists, such places have abundant water and flat terrain, making them ideal as temporary campsites.
Then "Geographical Insights" released another video and continued the analysis.
"Let's take a look at the environment around this Japanese athlete, Umekawa Uchiko."
It looks very much like this eroded land.
Looking at the location where the sock appeared, based on the water flow speed, the river's curvature, and the time estimating, it most likely came from that flat area.
We can see that on the third day of the wilderness survival, a torrential rain fell, and Meichuan Neiku encountered a landslide.
Although he escaped and ran further away from the river, his shelter was washed away.
However, he never discovered the existence of the river.
It is very likely that this sock was carried down the mountain to the river and reached the downstream area.
Moreover, as mentioned by expert Zhao Hangjun, the sock style is likely a common type in Japan.
Taking all these factors into account, I have ample reason to conclude that the distance between Japanese athlete Umekawa and the legendary Lu Fan is no more than 150 kilometers.
"Geographical Expert's" analysis was well-reasoned and logically rigorous, instantly causing the live stream room to erupt in excitement.
"This is incredible! This analysis is like Sherlock Holmes reincarnated!"
"What should we do? Great God Lu Fan might be in danger."
"Should we use the wilderness survival live chat to tell Lu Fan, the great god?"
"I didn't expect we'd be so close. What if we run into each other someday? The Japanese are very cunning."
"So what if we run into him? Lu Fan will beat him until he's covered in peach blossoms."
Wang Tao's face was also filled with worry: "We have reason to believe that these athletes are likely in the same wilderness, where they may encounter danger at any time."
Zhao Hangjun pushed up his glasses: "In the wilderness, people are often more terrifying than wild animals because there are no laws to restrain them."
When survival is at stake, bloodshed can occur at any moment.
Yu Rui couldn't help but pray, "May the great god Lu Fan be safe."
The analysis by "Geographical Information Network" was like a storm, quickly shocking the world.
The video went viral on various platforms, triggering drastically different reactions from all sides.
Upon seeing the analysis, the eyes of the high-ranking officials in Japan gleamed with greed.
They held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.
A high-ranking official excitedly slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed, "This is a golden opportunity!"
Lu Fan possesses so many resources and has triggered a ten-thousand-fold return. If Mei Chuan's inner treasury can seize them from him, our Sakura Kingdom's advantage in this wilderness survival competition will be unparalleled!
Everyone nodded, their faces showing malicious smiles.
So they quickly started discussing how to tell Mei Chuan Neiku Lu Fan's location in 50 words.
Meanwhile, the United States also couldn't sit still.
Their senior management also saw the analysis from "Geographic Insights" and realized that this was an opportunity for restructuring.
The United States has always wanted to dominate this global wilderness survival competition.
Now that they've discovered how close Lu Fan and Mei Chuan Neiku are, they feel they have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
They planned to contact athletes from their own country, instructing them to closely monitor Lu Fan and Mei Chuan Neiku's movements, and to sabotage them if necessary to gain the greatest benefit.
When the top leaders of China learned of this news, their expressions turned solemn.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense, with everyone worried about Lu Fan's safety.
One leader said seriously, "We must find a way to remind Lu Fan as soon as possible to make him more vigilant."
Japanese players are known for their ruthless methods, and American players might also try to cause trouble. Lu Fan faces considerable danger.
An elderly general spoke up: "I don't think we need to rush. Judging from his current performance, Lu Fan's strength is no weaker than Ling Yue's."
"I also think we need to stay calm. Lu Fan has so many weapons, so protecting himself shouldn't be a problem."
"That's right. In the wilderness survival game, you can only post 50 characters in the live chat per week, so you have to save them for critical moments."
"We can send people to monitor the live streams of players from other countries to anticipate their moves, and then we'll deal with them when they make a move."
After discussion, everyone agreed that this method was feasible.
Upon learning of this news, Pakistan, thousands of miles away, demonstrated its sincere friendship.
A statement from the Pakistani government leadership said: "If our athletes encounter Lu Fan in the wilderness, we will do everything we can to help him."
In this arduous journey of survival, friendship and mutual assistance are more important than competition; only through common development can we overcome difficulties.
This statement demonstrated the deep friendship between Pakistan and China to the world and won praise from many countries.
In the live broadcast room, viewers became even more anxious after learning about the reactions from various countries.
"Japan is shameless! They actually want to steal Lu Fan's resources!"
"They're just stinking shit."
"The United States is no good either; all they do is cause trouble."
"Thank goodness for Pakistan, I'm so touched."
"Don't be afraid. As long as our Chinese athletes are together, we have nothing to fear."
"Yes, as long as God Lu Fan and God Ling Yue join forces, there will be no rivals in the entire wilderness."
"We should have faith in Lu Fan, he has so many excellent weapons."
