Chapter 253 Director Chen: The fox's tail is exposed!
After hearing Zhao Xinqing's words, Su Bai fell into silence for a while.
He hasn't tried it yet, but judging from his rich fishing experience, it is basically impossible to catch fish in the river unless the cold wave recedes.
There are also some mushrooms, bamboo shoots and dried mulberries in the camp, but fish is still the main source of food for the two of them.
Once the fish on hand becomes rotten, he and Zhao Xinqing may really start to starve.
Su Bai frowned slightly and muttered:
"If the cold wave doesn't subside by then, we will try other methods..."
"It can use your brain to some extent, but the effect is hard to say."
Barrage:
【no!】
[For such a delicate beauty like Dr. Zhao, since she has followed you, Su Bai, you must not let her starve!]
【You must feed Dr. Zhao! Must!】
[If it doesn’t work, just give it to Dr. Zhao...]
Su Bai's originally serious mood suddenly fell apart when the barrage interrupted it.
He shook his head and smiled:
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Let's talk about it then."
"If we both starve, I'm afraid the other team members will starve to death..."
The barrage said seriously at this time:
【No, no, no, you underestimate them a little too much.】
[One group of players, before the cold wave arrived, had discovered an inland salt lake and prepared coarse salt. They also hunted a deer, marinated it all in coarse salt, hung it up and smoked it, and made bacon that could be stored for a long time.
】
[With salt and a large amount of meat reserves, this group of people jumped from more than thirty people to tenth place in one fell swoop!]
[There is so much extra salt!]
[By the way, a few days ago, some people used plant ash to refine salt. I wonder if you also have a lot of plant ash, why don’t you make more use of it? 】
Su Bai was stunned for a moment:
"Salt can also be extracted from plant ashes???"
"Isn't it scientific?"
On the side, Zhao Xinqing shook her head seriously and said:
"It is true that very coarse potassium salt can be extracted from plant ashes."
"But potassium salt is far inferior to coarse salt. It has a very poor taste. It is bitter in the mouth and only has a slight salty aftertaste."
"It cannot effectively replenish the body's electrolytes, let alone alleviate hyponatremia."
"Besides, potassium salt can kill people. If you eat too much, you may not survive until the end of the first round..."
"Very stupid operation."
Barrage:
【……】
[Did you hear that? A very stupid operation!]
[The barrage that asked Su Bai to refine plant ash just now came out and was beaten immediately!]
Zhao Xinqing sighed:
"However, those who discover inland saltwater lakes are really lucky."
"Salt is necessary to survive in the wild for a long time."
"If Su Bai and I want to get salt, we have to go back to the seaside again."
Barrage:
[By the way, speaking of the issue of salt, why are so many groups gradually developing mild hyponatremia, but you and Su Bai are fine? 】
【I am still very active every day and can even climb mountains.】
Zhao Xinqing shook her head slightly and said:
"Su Bai and I actually started to suffer from very mild hyponatremia."
"It's just so slight that it's hard to notice."
"The human body will automatically adjust the electrolyte balance. The more salt you eat, the more it will be metabolized. However, if the salt intake is very small, the body will reduce the excretion of salt."
"The trace amounts of salt we get from meat, mushrooms, and mulberries on a daily basis can barely maintain the balance of electrolytes in the body temporarily, so the symptoms are much better than those in other groups."
"But as time goes by, Su Bai and I's hyponatremia will become more and more obvious."
"After the situation in Su Bai's camp and mine has basically stabilized, we will have to go to the beach to refine salt."
"Otherwise, once the hyponatremia reaches a certain level, Su Bai and I won't have the strength to go to the beach to make salt even if we want to."
Hearing Zhao Xinqing's words, Su Bai frowned and realized that he had almost ignored the salt issue before, and couldn't help but ask seriously:
"How long does it take before we have to leave for the beach?"
Zhao Xinqing thought for a while and said:
"It's still early. According to our current nutritional structure and exercise intensity, there are still about forty or fifty days left."
"Of course, this is the deadline. After more than 20 days, our hyponatremia should be more obvious."
"If you don't leave in forty or fifty days, you may never be able to leave again."
Hearing Zhao Xinqing's words, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
There is still plenty of time.
You can wait until the cold wave is over and plan slowly.
Zhao Xinqing opened the door of the bamboo shed, looked into the bushes on the east side of the camp, and sighed in a low voice:
"The snow leopard didn't come again today..."
"These fish are about to be spoiled..."
"Sigh...this cold wave is really a headache."
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and according to the snow leopard's usual schedule, it should have appeared in the camp by now.
But the sky suddenly became gloomy again, and the cold wind was very restrained, indicating that a cold rain was approaching.
The snow leopard will definitely not dare to go down the mountain.
The two of them snuggled up in the bamboo shed, ate turtle meat and fish soup with a slightly fishy smell, and chewed a few handfuls of dried mulberries. After nothing happened, they went to bed directly.
Although the two of them have been living a relatively calm life during this period of time, they have actually been in a state of high workload.
Taking advantage of this cold wave, it is also necessary to huddle up in bed and recover your energy and physical fitness after eating and drinking.
When she got into bed, Zhao Xinqing felt a sticky dampness between the coyote skin mattress and the quilt.
There was nothing we could do about it. It had been raining for days, and even the ground in the bamboo shed was now muddy.
Of course, it is inevitable to be in bed.
Feeling the dampness in the quilt, Su Bai sighed silently, knowing that tonight, I'm afraid he will have to face overwhelming treatment again...
Sure enough, after sleeping until about nine o'clock in the evening, Su Bai was woken up by the tightness in his chest.
Looking down, Zhao Xinqing was lying on top of him, her drool making the bed even more damp.
Su Bai smiled bitterly, put his hands in the right position, adjusted their postures, and found the most comfortable combination position before falling asleep again.
…
In the office, because Su Bai turned off the drone rotor and started to rest with Zhao Xinqing, Director Chen had already exited Su Bai's live broadcast room.
He blew on the hot tea in the thermos cup and took a sip. His eyes fell on the closed door of the office from time to time, as if waiting for something.
Half an hour later, the clerk quietly opened the door to his office, stepped in, and quickly closed the door.
"Director, I retrieved the monitoring data through the technical department."
"As expected, it's just as you guessed, it's the Security Department who is up to something."
"Watch this video."
As the clerk spoke, he opened a tablet in his hand and played a video...
