The three girls looked at each other, and finally Lin Rui, who was slightly older, asked:

"Captain Akatsuki, why do you say that?"

"Hey..." Gu Xiaole sighed:

"In fact, even if I don't say it, you should be able to see the environment we are in now. After such a big tsunami, almost all the animals in the jungle that could originally run away.

Those who couldn't escape were probably killed in the tsunami, so we may have fewer things to hunt in the future."

"But don't we still have a lot of cans?" Lin Jiao, an outspoken little girl, immediately asked.

"Well, we do have some supplies, but I just counted them and the only cans we have left are about 40 cans.

There are five of us in the camp now, and if we follow the minimum standard of one can per person per day, I'm afraid we can only support it for less than 10 days."

When Gu Xiaole said this, several girls began to feel worried. Lin Jiao asked anxiously:

"What should we do about that? We won't really starve to death in this jungle, right?"

Gu Xiaole smiled faintly: "Actually, you don't need to be too anxious. It shouldn't be difficult for me to find something to eat on such a large island!

It’s just that the next step is for me to think of ways to expand the scope of hunting and explore the central area of ​​the island to see if more wild animals will gather there..."

Gu Xiaole's words suddenly gave several girls confidence.

"That's great! Without further ado, brother Xiaole, when do you plan to set off? Both of us sisters will accompany you!"

"No rush, let's take a look around the area in the next few days. If it goes as I expected, we will head deeper into the island!"

While several people were talking, they saw Xiaoli, who had just been frightened by the little monkey Jin, freshen up her clothes, twist her waist like a water snake and climb out of the plane.

"Captain Xiao Band, thank you for the meat skewers you just sent me. It's really delicious!

It's just that if you eat too much of these baked goods, you'll easily get angry. Xiaole, can you accompany me to the waterfall behind to get some water?"

Gu Xiaole was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that he had been worrying about food and had forgotten that the fresh water reserves in their camp were almost exhausted.

So he nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll accompany you right now. Just bring some water back to the camp. Xiaojiao, you two, pack up the leftovers."

They stood up and were about to leave, but Ning Lei on the side spoke:

"This lady is also thirsty, so we can go together!"

Lin Jiao and her elder sister Lin Rui looked at each other and smiled, saying to themselves that Ning Lei looked at Gu Xiaole very closely!

So the three of them walked along the path behind the camp to the small waterfall in the back mountain.

But wherever I went, I was a little dumbfounded. It turned out that after the tsunami, the original mountain streams here were also damaged to a certain extent.

The originally crystal clear stream was now extremely turbid.

Gu Xiaole squatted down and took a handful of water with his hands and put it in his mouth.

"Bah, bah, bah...it won't work. This water has been polluted by sea water. It's bitter and astringent, and there's no way to drink it! It seems we need to find other sources of fresh water!"

Hearing what he said, the two women were a little dumbfounded. Now that the entire island has almost been washed away by the waves, where can they find fresh water now?

"It seems that our plan to enter the depths of the island has to be advanced..." Gu Xiaole said after thinking for a while.

"What's there in the depths of the island?" Xiaoli asked with a confused look on her face.

"The unknown may be extremely abundant food and water sources, or it may be some unpredictable beasts or other dangers.

All in all, it’s a mixed bag of good and bad!”

In response to Gu Xiaole's answer, Xiaoli stuck out her tongue and stopped answering.

Ning Lei, on the other hand, frowned and thought for a while before saying:

"Okay, no matter where you go to explore, I will accompany you!"

In response, Gu Xiaole smiled. Unexpectedly, this eldest lady still seemed to have some class feelings for him. It was true that he had dreamed about her several times...

Since there is no fresh water suitable for drinking here, there is no point in continuing to stop here. The three of them started to return the same way, but after a few steps, Gu Xiaole stopped again.

"What's wrong?" Ning Lei asked curiously.

"Look, there is a banana forest there that was washed up by the waves!" Gu Xiaole stretched out his hand and pointed, and sure enough, there was a small banana forest lying horizontally and vertically less than a hundred meters away from them.

"So what? Those banana trees don't bear fruit, so what's their use to us?" Xiaoli shook her head.

"No, it's useful! I think I saw it in a popular science publication on wilderness survival. This thing may have the fresh water we urgently need now!"

As he spoke, Gu Xiaole walked over quickly, grabbed the rhizome of a banana, brushed off the dead leaves on it, carefully made a cut with a Swiss Army knife and poured it into his mouth...

Sure enough, a clear juice flowed out from the small mouth.

"Well, it doesn't have any smell, just a faint fragrance!" Gu Xiaole nodded.

"Really? Xiaole, I want to drink too!" Xiaoli happily took the banana root that Gu Xiaole had just drank and poured it into her mouth directly...

"Well, not bad, not bad! It's really good to drink!" Xiaoli smiled happily and drank three or four banana rhizomes in a row before she stopped.

"But, I'm afraid these few bananas won't be enough for us to drink for a long time, right?" Ning Lei also drank a banana and looked at the remaining bananas on the ground and said with some worry.

"Well, it won't last long, it's just a temporary emergency measure. Okay, don't think so much, just take all the banana trees that have fallen to the ground back to the camp!"

So two women and one man tidied up the banana trees that had fallen on the ground. Gu Xiaole carried a big bag, and Ning Lei held a small bag.

Even Xiaoli, who was injured, had to pinch seven or eight plantain rhizomes by herself.

The three people quickly returned to the camp and found that the Lin sisters had packed up the leftover food.

When she saw them carrying banana roots in big and small packages, the little girl Lin Jiao asked strangely:

"Brother Xiaole, what are you doing? There aren't even any green bananas on this banana tree, and you guys are taking them back like they're treasures?"

So when Gu Xiaole told them about the fact that they had just discovered that the fresh water source was no longer drinkable, Lin Rui and Lin Jiao were also a little shocked.

Yes, it's okay if there is no food. Even if you starve for a few days, your life will not be in danger. But if there is no fresh water,

I'm afraid they won't be able to survive even a week!

"It seems that our brother Xiaole is still very good. He even knows that there is drinkable water in the banana tree!" Lin Jiao did not forget to praise a few words while drinking the banana water.

Gu Xiaole shook his head:

"Now is not the time to be happy. The difficulties we are facing are still quite big, and Basho may not be able to sustain this for a few days.
Chapter completed!
