After being stranded on a deserted island, they all plotted against me

But she also closed her eyes and began to wait silently for death to come.

Like Lan Yueting, Su Yan also longed for a miracle to happen.

There are three stages of death from thirst.

The first stage is thirst, increased body temperature, decreased sweating, and slower blood flow.

The second stage is fainting, which occurs when the body's water depletion reaches four percent. The blood becomes concentrated, the skin becomes wrinkled, and fainting becomes easy.

The third stage is when the water deficiency reaches 7%, the body will experience irreversible organ failure.

The fourth stage is death.

The entire process takes only five days at most.

At this moment, Lan Yueting and Su Yan, who were drifting on the sea, had entered the early stage of the second stage.

Both of them were weak and fainted from time to time.

However, at the moment, the wreckage where they were was only 40 kilometers away from the island where Zhang Liu and others were.

And the surface ocean currents are also moving in this direction.

A seagull flew over the wreckage, leaving a long white line that was reflected in Lan Yueting's squinting eyes.

She thought for a while and felt like she had thought of something.

But as the pain came, Lan Yueting fainted again...

Section 1#Volume 2 A stable food source is the first step to development: Chapter 26: Salted fish as a strategic resource

"This... should be fresh water, right?"

Compared to Lan Yueting and Su Yan who were in despair because of the fresh water, Qin Ruoyan was at the foot of the mountain behind, staring blankly at the new discovery in front of her, and started talking to herself.

Ahead of her was a shaded stone nook.

Inside the corner, a green pond about three meters square was lying quietly.

It was green from beginning to end, with many large-leaved ferns growing around the pond.

These plants have similar shapes.

Most of them have lanceolate leaves with a shape that looks like tiny scales.

The rhizome is slender, but it is quite powerful in supporting the entire plant, which may be related to the leaves being densely packed with independent feathers.

The plants are not important.

Her attention was now entirely on the pool.

But just looking at the emerald green color of the water, Qin Ruoyan felt a strong sense of discomfort.

This thing is definitely not something that people can drink directly.

She discovered there was water because she saw from afar that there were more green plants here, so she planned to come here to avoid the midday sun.

The smell near the water is not pleasant.

Not only was there a stench of corruption, but there was also a suffocating feeling in the air.

Qin Ruoyan, who had studied traditional Chinese medicine, naturally understood that these chest-suffocating auras were similar to miasma.

So no matter whether this miasma is poisonous or not, I cannot stay here for long.

Holding her breath slightly, she walked forward and filled a bottle of slightly warm green pool water with her empty mineral water bottle.

Then he decisively got up and went to another drier and cooler place to take shelter.

"It looks green, but it's still relatively clean inside the bottle." Qin Ruoyan raised the bottle and took a look, then complained in a low voice and started her lunch.

At the same time, she drew a line on the map in her notebook and marked it as "potentially drinkable fresh water."

Qin Ruoyan had no way of measuring how deep the pool was.

She didn't dare to get too close to the pool as she didn't know what was inside.

But Qin Ruoyan does have some basic common sense.

As long as this bottle of water is brought back to the cave and can be drunk after being boiled, it means that the drinking water problem will be completely solved in a short time.

Thinking of this, her mood suddenly improved a lot, and she was even more eager to go back to see Zhang Liu and announce the good news to him.

Inside the cave, Qin Ruoshuang, who had set up thirty noose traps, was staring at Anya's grass skirt in a daze.

"How is it? Isn't it beautiful?" Anya twisted her aching waist vigorously and said excitedly: "Do you want me to give you one too?"

"..." Qin Ruoshuang was silent for a while, then shook her head decisively.

I'd better not wear such avant-garde clothes.

But she also thought of one thing in her mind.

The clothes that I and others were wearing were just the school uniforms that we wore every day.

Although the quality is good, it will always break down over time.

by that time……

Qin Ruoshuang suddenly remembered what her sister said about Zhang Liu making a set of clothes for himself using curtains.

Maybe I should get some clothes earlier.

Looking at the curtains on the ground, her face was full of thoughtful expression.

Anya sat down on the foam board and started preparing lunch for them.

A soup made from some shellfish picked up from the beach, with jatropha and the flesh scraped from three coconuts.

During these days, as the food standards declined, Anya had cast her eyes countless times on the two dried fish placed on the charcoal pile.

But they were dissuaded by the two sisters.

These two fish, which are easy to preserve after being killed, are considered "strategic materials" in the cave.

......................................................

"Zhang Liu, it's so hot..."

Near the huge pyrite, Zhang Liu and Gu Qingrou also sat in the shadow of the stone to rest.

"It's hot, but there's nothing you can do about it. Have a drink of water." Zhang Liu scooped a shell of water from the sheepskin bag on his chest, handed it to Gu Qingrou carefully and said, "Drink more to fill your stomach. You won't have to eat lunch."

Currently, there are fifty snake fruits, eight egg yolk fruits, ten pieces of honeycomb and a bag of honey in his backpack.

The honeycomb honey was the snack that Zhang Liu reserved for Gu Qingrou, Anya and the other two, and he had no share.

Honey is a strategic resource and should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

If we calculate based on three meals a day, it will take about three and a half days to walk from here to the cave.

This food is not enough for two people.

So after a brief discussion, they have decided to eat two meals a day from now on.

Three and a half days means seven meals.

Even so, two people can only share seven snake fruits and one egg yolk fruit for a meal.

Food is in very short supply, but there is no need to worry too much about fresh water.

On the other side of the plane wreckage, Zhang Liu also reserved a cabinet of rainwater.

Although it may go bad, as long as it is boiled, it will not be too troublesome to drink.

"Yeah." After taking the shell, Gu Qingrou began to replenish herself with water quickly.

Zhang Liu in front of her stood up and began to look around for particularly dry and thin vines.

He was going to start preparing things for making a fire in the evening.

The sound of birds singing in the jungle never stopped, and occasionally Zhang Liu would see larger unfamiliar birds perched on branches and looking at him.

However, seeing that the tree was at least two meters tall, he had no way of catching it.

"When Qin Ruoyan and I saw this thing for the first time, we thought it was man-made and we were very excited." After drinking the water, Gu Qingrou turned around and looked at the large and small crystals on the pyrite, with a hint of sigh in her tone.

Just now, after listening to Zhang Liu's explanation of what pyrite is, she felt a little depressed.

"Nature is still very magical." Zhang Liu added subconsciously, and then continued to collect dry vines, but then he also asked curiously: "By the way, classmate Gu Qingrou, what were you drawing just now?"

After resting in the morning, Zhang Liu opened his eyes.

Gu Qingrou, who was sitting next to him, also hurriedly folded a piece of paper and stuffed it into her jeans pocket.

At first he thought the other party was drawing a map.

So Zhang Liu simply said that he had already finished a painting and asked him to take it out for comparison.

The result was that Gu Qingrou directly rejected it and showed that she would rather die than give it out.

"Well... just draw some... things you like, right?" When Gu Qingrou said this, she was a little self-doubting. Then she emphasized, "Student Zhang Liu, this is a girl's secret!"

"..." Zhang Liu had no idea what little secret the other party could have in this desolate mountain and wilderness. He could only shake his head helplessly, and then continued to collect things around him that were suitable for starting a fire.

Afterwards, he and Gu Qingrou hid under the shade of a tree to avoid the hottest time.

Section 1#Volume 2 A stable food source is the first step to development: Chapter 27 Shelter before the night

Zhang Liu had thought about giving up rest and rushing on at full speed even under the scorching sun.

But we are not familiar with the ground here, and if the pig rushes forward and we get tripped and injured, we will be dead on the spot.

Secondly, the jungle behind this is really inconvenient to confirm the direction.

Even on the map that Qin Ruoyan perfected, there were basically not many landmarks.

The only reference object is the coastline.

So they had to walk in the outer layer of the jungle for a while, then look towards the sea and adjust their direction.

The speed just needs to be slowed down.

The consequences of getting lost in this forest would be more serious than getting injured.

After resting and avoiding the hottest time of the sun, Zhang Liu and Gu Qingrou set out again on the road through the jungle.

But at this moment, Gu Qingrou's portrait has been completed.

After Zhang Liu fell asleep, she opened her eyes again and drew the "favorite thing" in front of her on paper.

Student Zhang Liu is really handsome!

With the corners of her mouth slightly raised, Gu Qingrou felt that she was walking with more strength.

Is this what my mother meant when she said that I will definitely fall in love with the person I will marry and then the power of love will appear?

But Zhang Liu hasn't married me yet.

Gu Qingrou felt a little confused, but after her fingers touched the portrait in her back pocket, her confusion disappeared again.

The originally white sun in the sky gradually turned red. Zhang Liu also stopped, then turned to Gu Qingrou, whose mouth corners were no longer raised and began to breathe heavily, and said: "We should start building a shelter."

"Ah... I'm so tired!" Gu Qingrou, who was relaxed all over and had been traveling for a long time, leaned on her knees with her hands, feeling like crying.

Compared to Zhang Liu who looked as if nothing had happened, she, who had just recovered from a serious illness, felt as if not a single bone in her body belonged to her.

"You sit down and have a rest. Keep an eye on your backpack and sheepskin bag." Zhang Liu glanced at Gu Qingrou and casually prepared a relatively simple task for her.

During these days of getting along, he has gotten to know Gu Qingrou's personality better.

The other person is the type of person who really wants to do something to help.

So you have to arrange something for the other person, otherwise this guy will fall into the mental illusion of "I am so useless".

Zhang Liu noticed this from Gu Qingrou's previous behavior of always saying that she was useless.

"Uh-huh!"

Just as he thought.

After hearing the instructions, Gu Qingrou nodded vigorously, then sat next to her backpack and sheepskin bag without moving.
