Several days later.

Saturday.

Many viewers around the world had turned their televisions on.

Its about to begin!

Its time for the second episode.

Yeah, Ive been waiting an entire week for this.

I wonder if the second episode will be as good as the first episode.

I didnt watch it last week, so I definitely have to watch it this week.

Is it really that good?

Youll find out after you watch it.

Is it broadcasting on Central TV International?

Yes, its on the only international channel that China has.

Alright, its starting, its starting.

What? A swamp?

Hes heading into such a dangerous place?

I know where this place is! There are alligators there!

Under the anticipation of viewers from all over the world, the second episode of Man vs. Wild officially began. A lot of people took out their snacks, soft drinks, or beer as they watched the show on television with their families. Unlike soccer, talk shows, and the various TV series, Man vs. Wild was a show that was very suited for a family of all demographics to watch together.

On TV.

Zhang Ye appeared on screen again.

This time, he appeared at a terrifying swamp.

Im Zhang Ye. Some people say that Im a host, and others say Im a writer, film actor, movie director, singer, mathematician, and hacker. I wont deny any of those, but I know that there is still a title I have that nobody knows about. I am a wilderness survival specialist. Im in the Everglades, in Florida, over 20,202 square kilometers of waterlogged grassland. Every year, this wilderness attracts 6 million visitors. Many get lost and need to be airlifted to safety. Im starting in the most challenging part of the Everglades, the swamps. Ill only have a knife, flint, and a canteen with me. Im gonna put myself in the position of a lost tourist and show you how to survive in a wilderness like this.

Im descending into the swamp.

Oh, theres water all around.

I dont like this place at all. Its very disorienting, and you just cant see what is in the water. Its a very bad feeling, so I have to get out of here as quickly as possible and find dry land.

What I need now is a weapon, so Im going to cut this pop ash branch down. At a critical moment, this could very well save my life.

First of all, I need to get my bearings.

Im going to teach everyone a technique. Basically, the Everglades has a really wide river that runs from the north to the south, but it runs really slowly. So a good way of working out directions is to tie a water bottle to a stick and wait half an hour to see which way the bottle swings round. From there, I can find out which direction to head towardOK, Ive determined the direction, lets go.

Its been two hours, and Ive been walking all this time. This is very tiring.

Walking through the swamp uses up a lot of energy, and you need to eat something.

Look, whats this?

Break open a piece of deadwood and youll find carpenter ants in there.

These are carpenter ant larvae. Let me have a taste.

Hm, I can say for sure that it doesnt taste good.

Oh, come and have a look at this. Ahead of me now is muddy bog. Its a place where the earth will literally suck you in. The more you struggle, the more it sucks you into it. Each year, many people around the world lose their lives because of this. This is also one of the greatest dangers that you can encounter in the swamp. Usually when we see it, we should avoid it or go back the way we came. But what Im going to do is jump in and show you how to get out of it if you fall into one.

Im going in!

The sinkhole is constantly sucking me in!

My waist has completely sunk in!

Remember the stick that I had from before? Its time to use it to save my life now. Use that to create more surface area to put your weight on, and try to wriggle your chest onto it. Once youre up on the surface, just prone crawl until you hit solid ground. And then its quite easy like that.

Lets keep going forward.

Look at what I found.

Its a little tree frog.

Alright, Im going to eat it.

Goddammit, the taste is really terrible.

Im feeling extremely cold and hungry now. Im in really bad shape, and I have to find food and water and build a campsite as well. Otherwise, I might not be able to get out of this swampland.

Wait!

There are some air bubbles coming up from the water!

Dammit! Its an alligator! Ive been noticed!

In the swamp, I wont be able to outrun it. Its much faster than me!

Damn! There are three of them!

Dong Shanshans house.

His old classmates had gathered here.

Im gonna faint!

Those are ants!

How is this bastard able to eat everything!

Wasnt he like this when we went to university? Cicadas, crickets, grasshoppers, he has eaten all of those before.

But hes eating the ants raw!

He said that it didnt taste good, so why did he still eat a dozen of them?

The UK.

Oh my God!

Its a sinkhole!

Other people cant wait to avoid something like that! Yet you still jump right into it!

Hes trapped!

Oh, hes asking for it!

Wow, he managed to escape!

How terrifying!

Russia.

A frog?

He ate it! He really ate it!

Im gonna puke!

Me too! Urgh!

He ate a live frog?

Everyone says we Russians are a warrior people! But damn! It feels like this fellow is even more of a warrior than we are!

Japan.

An alligator!

Its the American alligator ¹ !

There are three of them! Zhang Ye is done for!

Hes been surrounded!

This is the real deal!

Haha, thats what he gets for only caring about eating. See what a surprise hes gotten into?

India.

You can do it, gator!

Bite him!

Bite him!

Attack him, gator!

Please attack, gator!

China.

Hahaha, Face-smacking Zhang is screwed!

Let him eat it!

Why isnt he eating the alligators!

Yeah, he should continue with that next. Why is he running away!

Im cramping up with laughter. This fellow is too reckless!

Wait, dammit!

Face-smacking Zhang has come back again!

What?

Canada.

Why did he come back?

The gators are still there!

Ahhh! One of the gators dropped out of the group!

Oh my God! Zhang Ye, h-hes back for revenge!

He pounced on it!

My God! He pounced onto the back of the gator! He held its mouth shut!

Korea.

Holy shit!

He killed the alligator!

W-What is he trying to do!

Hes skinning it.

Oh my god! H-H-Hes going to eat the alligator!

He really ate it!

This glutton has gone mad!

Does he have to go this far!

The second episode finished up.

The entire worlds viewers were stunned!

Ants.

Frogs.

Turtles.

Alligators.

With the second episode of Man vs. Wild, Zhang Ye once again swept through another wilderness. Everywhere he went, the place would be left barren. He ate everything that could be eaten!

On this day.

Countless people pissed their pants!

On this day.

Countless people were left kneeling!
