Chapter 332 Water Source
"I hope he returns safely."
"I would trade my life for his safe return."
"You must come back."
Wei Qing gave his silent blessing. The love between Chu Zixian and Wei Qing was not earth-shattering, but it was much better than a couple living together. They were willing to sacrifice for each other and work hard for each other.
It is not that you are willing to choose a path that is too difficult, but that you choose this path for your own safety.
...
After landing, Gao Liang took Chu Zixian into the interior of the island. He ignored the other people following him and kept walking higher. The island looked small from a distance, but in fact it was not that small.
I'm afraid it will take several days to walk around.
Gao Liang kept walking and feeling the direction of the wind, and finally came to a windward slope, but they had just approached here when suddenly a few white teeth flashed out first, and then someone shouted to them to get out. Chu Zixian focused his eyes
At first glance, more than a dozen big black men have gathered here.
Gao Liang didn't waste any time, turned around and continued walking around the island.
"Can you take a break? I can't keep up." Q008 said a little out of breath. She hadn't eaten or drank water. She was a woman walking all the way with this group of men. She was really tired.
"Yes, can you take a break? It's very late now." Q004 also agreed.
But Gao Liang turned a deaf ear and continued walking towards the island. The seaside behind them was gradually invisible, but the camera in the distance always appeared. In fact, it was not difficult to find that although Gao Liang had been moving, he was always following them.
Continuous camera routes are traveling.
They were now in a tropical rain forest with dense plants. Gao Liang would touch or pinch these plants with his hands, but his speed did not slow down much.
It can be said that Gao Liang has been moving forward since he landed on the island, basically without stopping for two hours. During this period, he saw footprints and chose a route that actively avoided these footprints.
"I can't, I really can't walk anymore." Q008 sat down on the ground and refused to move forward. Q004 was also very tired, and Q003 was about the same, but his endurance at his age is quite impressive.
Watch with admiration.
The most powerful one is Q002. This guy is almost completely following Gao Liang and Chu Zixian, and now he is just panting slightly.
"The plants in this area should be enough to maintain our drinking water supply." Q002 looked back at the Q008 trio who were gradually being pulled away, and couldn't help but say something to Gao Liang.
Gao Liang finally stopped, looked at Q002 seriously and said, "But there will be about a hundred or two hundred people after us. They will come back to the group in a while. What will happen then?"
"But we have to go back to the shore to report every day. We can't keep it with just the three of us." Q002 said.
"Guard what? Water source?" Chu Zixian asked.
"Yeah." Gao Liang nodded, and then asked Q002: "Do you think those three people are useful?"
"At least it's not like Q001 is looking for trouble." Q002 said.
"Okay, then tell them that I will try to slow down a little. Whether they can keep up depends on their perseverance." After Gao Liang finished speaking, he saw Q002 nodding, and Q002 turned around and ran back.
.
"Is this person reliable?" Chu Zixian asked Gao Liang.
"Didn't you notice that he has a military aura about him?" Gao Liang asked Chu Zixian.
"A mercenary like you?" Chu Zixian asked Gao Liang in surprise.
"It's hard to judge, and I can't tell clearly, but it must have some connection with this aspect." Gao Liang said with certainty. Although he didn't say this, he could feel it. Q002 also felt that Gao Liang had the same experience.
That's why I took the initiative to discuss it with Gao Liang just now.
In this case, at least the two of them put each other on the same level.
"Come, drink some of this first." Gao Liang broke off a plant stem and leaf from the side and handed it to Chu Zixian. Then he also broke off one and put it in his mouth to suck the water.
Chu Zixian followed suit, but he felt that he couldn't drink much water at all. He only heard Gao Liang explain to him: "Although the water is not much, it can maintain the normal maintenance of our daily consumption. You are not used to drinking like this. Wait for you."
Once you get used to it, you can adapt quickly.”
"I didn't expect you to know this." Chu Zixian asked in confusion.
"I am a mercenary, and mercenaries not only go to fight and kill people, but sometimes also survive in this environment." Gao Liang said, with a faint memory on his face.
"Uh." After Chu Zixian finished speaking, he took two more puffs next to the stems and leaves.
When Chu Zixian had absorbed almost all the water from the stem and leaves, Q002 finally came over with the other three people. Q004 supported Q008, and Q003 found a branch as a crutch. All three of them were sweating profusely and panting.
"Follow us, we need to find the water source first. The water on the windward slope has been occupied by others. If we don't hurry up, it won't be a matter of starvation and thirst, but someone will die." Q002 replied.
After the three of them finished speaking, they nodded to Gao Liang.
Gao Liang did not communicate with Q008 and the other three, but turned around and continued to walk forward with Chu Zixian. As for the small amount of water in the stems and leaves, Gao Liang was too lazy to give it to them. Besides, there were so many plants with high water content around them that they were too stupid to take.
That's all.
However, Gao Liang still slowed down. After walking for a while, Chu Zixian could feel that the little water he had just absorbed had its effect. Although his mental state did not get better, it did not get worse either.
After walking around like this for nearly five hours, Chu Zixian and the others finally found a small cave. In fact, it was not really a cave. It was just a fault that appeared in the upward terrain. This fault kind of formed a cave.
It looks like it, but it's far from it. The depth is only about three meters.
I can only say that this is a trap, but it is enough for six people to live here temporarily.
What's more important is that this cave is a natural condenser. The hot and humid air condenses on the roof of the cave and then drips water to the pit. There are puddles flowing out of this small pit, and the largest one is nearly half of the cave.
The distance is more than a meter, and the rest are small but enough to satisfy hunger and urgent needs.
After Gao Liang entered the pothole, without saying a word, he picked up a palmful of water with his hand, took it out of the pothole, looked at the clarity under the moonlight, and drank it all in one gulp. It felt so good.
Seeing Gao Liang drinking water, Q008 and three others all reacted. Q008 went in first and imitated Gao Liang, holding up a palmful of water and sucking it into his mouth, but her method was wrong and she also picked up the soil under the puddle.
inside, so after taking this mouthful, Q008 spit it out again.
"Bah! It's all dirt, how can you drink this water?" Q008 also complained.
Q002 glanced at Q008, who went in and gently picked up a palmful of water in another larger puddle and sucked it into his mouth.
Chapter completed!
