Chapter 48: The Boar's Trap(1/2)
Old Chang had obviously been prepared for this.
He smiled lightly and replied:
"Well, the second way is to go into the jungle to find fresh water resources.
However, this method is actually quite risky.
Because this area belongs to the subtropical zone,
All kinds of poisonous snakes and insects in the jungle are definitely indispensable.
Not to mention some of the larger carnivorous beasts.”
Lao Chang's words made Qin Wei sweat again.
Yes, if you don’t have sufficient preparation and equipment to enter this tropical jungle,
Entering hastily is almost the same as seeking death.
But if you stay outside at the beach, you will die of thirst sooner or later.
And I want to find such an important job as water,
As the captain of the camp, he can't really ignore being the shopkeeper.
Leave it to others to do,
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the members of these camps to obey him!
But don’t go into the jungle,
There will inevitably be a conflict with Gu Xiaole and their camp.
Judging from my own strength in this area, I'm afraid I don't have much chance of winning.
Qin Wei thought for a long time,
Finally he gritted his teeth and said:
"After breakfast later, let's get ready!
In the afternoon, Lao Ma, Lao Chang, and I went into the jungle to look for water!"
Hearing this sentence,
Lao Chang on the side showed an imperceptible smile and said in his heart:
Boy, don't let me find a chance!
Otherwise, I will give you an ugly death!
Qin Wei's camp faces a dilemma.
In fact, Gu Xiaole's situation is not much better than others.
Although they now have the tools,
Coconuts can be chopped down at any time to replenish fresh water.
But this thing is just drinking poison to quench thirst,
According to the consumption of this coconut,
Even if all the coconut trees on the beach are cut down,
I'm afraid it won't last too long.
So they also have to go into the jungle to find water,
Fortunately, Gu Xiaole has rich experience in living in the mountains.
The last time I entered the jungle, I made a lot of marks along the way.
So this time I went in to get water and it was quite familiar.
But there is a big problem:
Gu Xiaole can do it alone,
Just one person,
The amount of water that can be taken away is still limited.
So this time I want to get more water,
I need to bring a few more people with me.
The ignorant are fearless. The little girl Lin Jiao signed up first to enter the jungle.
However, her idea was unanimously opposed by everyone.
The situation in the jungle is complicated,
Gu Xiaole was unable to protect himself.
Coupled with such a sluggish person who can seek death,
The risk factor has greatly increased.
Absolutely not.
Sister Lin Rui also asked to accompany Gu Xiaole to the jungle.
Gu Xiaole thought about it and agreed.
So the matter was settled like this,
Lin Rui followed Gu Xiaole into the jungle to get water.
Lin Jiao and Ning Lei were guarding the treasures in their hands in the camp.
They still have some inventory in the camp these days,
For example, they dried the sea fish that they couldn't eat and turned them into dried fish.
And that cured ham that has never been touched.
But these foods are not actually what Gu Xiaole is most worried about.
After all, even if it was stolen by people from Qin Wei's camp or eaten by some wild beast,
It doesn't matter,
Because you can still get these things again.
What he was most worried about were the boxes of tools that he had worked so hard to get from the bottom of the sea.
This is his lifeblood,
If these things were gone,
There is nowhere to find it on this deserted island.
In order to prevent people from Qin Wei's camp from snatching tools while he was away,
Gu Xiaole still secretly hid the toolboxes in nearby trees.
Not to mention they are hard to find,
Even if you find it,
Without Gu Xiaole's skill, it would be difficult to climb up and get it.
At first glance, I no longer have any worries.
Gu Xiaole left two simple spears for Ning Lei and Lin Jiao to defend themselves.
After Lin Rui warned a few words with worry,
The two men entered the jungle again.
The difference from last time is that,
Looking back, Xiaole doesn’t only have toy-like knives like the Swiss Army Knife in his hand.
He carries the machete on his back,
He was holding a spear modified from metal pieces and wooden sticks.
Even Lin Rui, who was accompanying him, had a small ax in his hand to defend himself.
After all, Gu Xiaole came in once before,
This time it can be considered a familiar road,
He led Lin Rui and marched toward the water source according to the marks he had made along the way.
In fact, it is simple,
But because this is a subtropical jungle,
The plants grow extremely luxuriantly and rapidly,
It only takes a day or two,
Many of the marks Gu Xiaole made before are already difficult to identify.
Fortunately, Gu Xiaole still vaguely remembered the general direction of the water source.
Therefore, the two of them will not go down too many wrong paths.
