Desert Island Records: PUBG

Chapter 39 The Disappearing Fresh Water

The dim waves rush, the dim clouds drift away, and the dim light illuminates the people in the shallow sea like people in the dim time.

One after another squeezed through the surging sea water and pierced into the sandy ground under the water. The tips of the tips were no longer as sharp as they were at the beginning, but from the beginning to the end, there was no sharpness on the rough tips of the tips. Stained with a wisp of blood red.

He has not speared a single fish since the afternoon.

Whether you wait for the fish to approach and throw the mao out, or wait more patiently until the fish is completely close to your leg, and then plunge the mao down into the sea, the result is the same:
Not even a fish scale can be touched.

"Ah..."

Zhou Hui yelled with some annoyance, and simply threw the spear into the seawater. When he fell back, his body was soaked in the orange-colored seawater again, staring blankly at the vast blue and orange sky .

After stabbing for an entire afternoon, he didn't even touch a fish scale, so he was inevitably a little depressed.

"Speaking of which, it's a beautiful day..."

After being stunned for a while, the troubled emotions dissipated, Zhou Hui stood up from the sea water, and took a last look at the few seabirds in the orange-blue sky that were getting smaller and smaller until they disappeared.

Walking on the beach with the long grass, he didn't bring any food, but fortunately, he still had the kelp that he harvested from the other side of the island in the morning, and a one-meter-long kelp would not be enough for a meal.

The wood grass was planted on the beach, and Zhou Hui shook the sea water all over his body. Now it is no worse than in the morning, and he can dry himself in a few minutes, but the air is not too cold now, and he can dry himself in a short time after starting a fire , Grilled neatly.

On the beach, you can see that the sun is slowly turning golden orange. By then, it is really not far from dark. The light in the woods has obviously dissipated too much, but it can still be seen, not too much. black.

After gulping a few sips of fresh water, Zhou Hui returned to the tent, took a small iron pot and a mineral water bottle, and prepared to go to a place with puddles to get some drinkable fresh water before it was completely dark.

Speaking of fresh water, although it is impossible for the island to have natural mountain spring water, many puddles have been found after the rain. The water puddles are filled with clear fresh water, so drinking it is not a problem at all.

Originally, fire and water were the biggest problems on the island, but one problem was perfectly solved just because I happened to have a lighter in my pocket. It was cold and dangerous, and brought a lot of fresh water, which was a blessing in disguise.

Without these two key points, Zhou Hui would have suspected that the grass on his grave would already be three meters high.

Although no one can set up a grave for himself...

Speaking of which, I don't seem to have worried about fresh water in the past few days... Thinking of this, Zhou Hui felt that he was very lucky to come to a puddle at the same time.

A puddle where there was plenty of fresh water at first, but now it has lost almost half of it, and the rest is somewhat muddy.

Zhou Hui held a small iron pot in his left hand and a mineral water bottle in his right hand, looking at the muddy puddle in Xiaotan with some dumbfounded eyes.

Where about water?

After being dazed for dozens of seconds, Zhou Hui had no choice but to accept the problem of water loss.

Thinking about it, it was raining continuously for several days before, and the puddles were naturally full of water and the water quality was clear, but today there was no rainfall, on the contrary, there was plenty of light, and a day of exposure to the sun was enough to evaporate the puddles into this state.

After accepting the fact, even if the water is less and not too clear, I have to start filling the iron pot with water.

Fill it up with a mineral water bottle, and then pour it into the iron pot. According to this method, Zhou Hui worked for a full 15 minutes...and it was still not filled.

Because the depth of the puddle is not high, we can only fill the pot with mineral water and pour water into the pot again. After the pot is filled, there is only half a pot of water, which is the limit.

The remaining fresh water in the puddle is all turbid.

Returning silently in the half-dark environment mixed with orange, Zhou Hui discovered at this time that the continuous rainfall of the previous few days had a greater effect than he imagined.

He needs a new way to get fresh water.

Back at the camp, he moved the small iron pot under the coconut tree on the beach, and he was going to start a fire here tonight—if there was no rain or strong wind at night, he could still start a fire a little farther away from the tent.

Of course, fresh water is not a problem today, because in addition to this small iron pot, he has a large iron pot of fresh water safely placed in the tent. Even when it rained before, in order to prevent accidents, he would Has the habit of storing fresh water.

The golden orange sun dyed the coast red, and Zhou Hui started cooking.

The kelp was torn apart bit by bit with the shells and boiled in a small iron pot, while he stood by the fire, adding firewood sometimes, and looking at the golden red ocean as a whole...

He had seen such scenery before, but it was only a fragment, often covered by bad weather, but now he can appreciate it.

The burning fireball fell to the west of the sea, and gradually became less dazzling; the bright light went away, leaving behind a golden red orange light, and the seagulls went away and never returned, leaving only lonely waves rushing against the sand repeatedly.

It seems that the whole world is slowly ending.

The mist rose from the iron pot, Zhou Hui was a little tired but also very energetic because of the scenery, so he added some water to the iron pot and continued to boil.

It is a little regrettable that the white clouds floating in the sky at noon have already gone away. If there are still clouds moving westward at this moment, then the scene of burning clouds must be equally shocking.

I don't know how long I stayed on the beach, I don't know the time, but the kelp must not be cooked, at most it is an hour.

At this moment, the last orange light is slowly fading away.

The space where the light receded was followed by blackness. Zhou Hui didn't go back to the tent because of this, because the tent was not far away, and he could find it in the dark, not to mention there was a fire nearby.

On the quiet beach, Zhou Hui used a coconut bowl to add water to the small iron pot time and time again with some distress. Started.

In the dark, he was actually a little worried. After all, he had never been out of the tent in the dark before. Zhou Hui stared at half of the orange sun in Xihai, which would never be dazzling, while wrapping half of the extra vines around a wooden stick. On, experiment with making torches.

Authentic torches not only need wooden sticks, but also thick cloth, iron wire, animal oil or machine oil, or some special plant materials, etc., so that the torch can continue to burn for a long time. Makes torches that don't burn that long.

I just hope that the simple torch I made will not be burned out within 10 minutes.

Tie the vine firmly to a short wooden stick, and then fill the many gaps in the vine with leaves and smaller branches. At this point, the simplest torch is ready.

Or catch some small animals in the future, use meat to refine oil, and add the refined animal oil to the torch, which can continue to burn for a longer period of time.

No, if the oil is really extracted, it would be better to fry it and eat it... The produced torch was put into the bright fire that dispelled the surrounding darkness.

Zhou Hui's Desert Island Survival Notes:
[1. Coconut is a kind of plant that grows on many islands. It is a good choice for those who have first landed on the island, except that the coconut shell is really difficult to open. 】

[2. The beaches of ordinary islands are covered with a lot of waste products transported by the ocean. This is garbage belonging to the human world. However, for the deserted islanders, they can find very few precious resources from it. 】

[3. Under certain conditions, it is the best policy to boil fresh water to a boil, especially if there is no flowing stagnant water. Even if the stagnant water in Tanzhong is clean and clear, it needs to be heated to eliminate bacteria. Of course, the exception is the case of dying of thirst. 】

[4. In the face of plants or fruits that are not known to be toxic, you can apply the juice of the fruit to the skin. After a period of time, notice whether there is any discomfort or abnormality in the smeared skin area. There is no reaction and no toxicity. On the contrary, it is poisonous. 】

[5. If you really can’t open the coconut shell, you can find a coconut crab to try it. It is professional in opening coconuts, of course, if it cooperates.Tip: Be careful with the claws of live coconut crabs. 】

[6. Banana tree stems can be broken without the help of tools. Break off the banana trunk from a position near the ground, dig out the soft core of the tree stump on the ground, wait for a period of time, and automatically filter out the untreated ones. Fresh water, but don't expect much to spare. 】

【7. If you have the materials and time, you can try fishing. After all, this is not a waste of energy. Even if you really can't catch food, at least you can kill your time. 】

【8. Learn to climb trees. When facing some dangerous animals that can’t climb trees, you can at least climb to the top of the tree and keep fighting with the animals under the tree. It depends on who can’t bear it first. 】

[9. A wooden stick can be made into the simplest weapon. Burn one end of the wooden stick with a flame, take it out after burning to a certain extent, and use this end to polish it on a stone. At this time, the black charcoal can be easily removed. Grind it off, and then you can slowly grind out sharp wood thorns. The same is true for bones, but it will waste more time. (Reminder: If you meet a dangerous animal, please don’t go up with a wooden spike, or you will only leave a broken corpse.)]

[10. If you want a lighting tool, you can use wooden sticks and small vines to wrap them together, and fill the gaps with leaves to make the simplest torch, which can burn for about 5 minutes. 】

　I would still like to thank He Biyi, a book friend, for voting for the monthly ticket. I am very happy to receive the monthly ticket for the first time, haha~
