Chapter 237 Coke Bottle Slippers, Found Water Source
If you want to build a stronger shelter, you need more materials, and although there is a whole coconut grove on the desert island, the number of coconuts is not much. If you rely on coconuts for drinking water, it will soon be exhausted.

In order to survive longer and safer, Ron and Catherine embarked on a journey to inspect the island again.

"Meow~"

Catherine, come here~
However, as soon as he embarked on the journey, Ron found a good harvest—five or six plastic bottles drifted in the wind, drifting by the sea, and were washed onto the beach by the sea.

The sea is vast, but anywhere in the sea, you can see the occasional human trace—or a bottle, or a few fishing nets, or a broken plastic bag.

For those who survive on desert islands, these are resources that can be used.

"Yeah, it's Coke~"

"It's still full, no one has opened it~"

"But it's expired~"

The girl called by Ron immediately recognized the national drink of the United States, but when she turned the bottle, the smile on the girl's face turned into pity.

"What a pity~ I thought I could have a drink."

"Meow~"

Coke can’t be drunk, but the bottle is still useful for us~
Asking Catherine to pour out the expired Coke, Ron directed Catherine to squash two bottles, punched two holes in the bottles with a hunting knife, and then weaved two ropes with the tattered shirts he also picked up from the beach. through the hole in the bottle.

So, a pair of plastic bottle slippers often used by African people was prepared. Catherine came to this desert island with only a diving suit and no shoes. She just needed a pair.

Moreover, this visit to the island will not be like walking along the coast like the previous one. A pair of shoes that can prevent the soles of the feet from being pierced is still needed.

Of course, the anti-slip effect of the plastic bottle was not enough. Ron held the pair of coke bottle slippers and rubbed them hard on the stone a few times before the work was completed.

…………

The island is not big and has the same oval shape as a whole. The beach where Ron and Catherine were brought up by dolphins is located on the east side of the island. The coconut grove is on the south side of the island. This is where the Banana Tree and Lemon Tree are found.

But this time, Ron was walking in the woods in the middle of the island—Catherine's slippers were more useful on the beach, but they were not enough for walking in the woods.

Leaving Catherine around the shelter, Ron ends up on his own journey to find materials and water, this time choosing a path that leads directly to the center of the island.

Compared with the seaside, the middle of the island is slightly higher, but not too high.

Most importantly, it is covered with verdant trees with broad foliage.

In the tropics where the water vapor transpiration is huge, this means that the island either rains every few days, or has a fixed water source - using the exclusion method to prove that it has not rained for two days, then there is a high probability that the island has a fixed source of water. source of water.

The island is not big, and it only took Ron an hour to walk half a circle around the island last time, so after two or three kilometers deep into the center of the island, Ron heard the sound of running water in his sensitive ears.

"Meow~"

There is the sound of running water~
This important matter had to be confirmed several times. Ron did not immediately rejoice, but continued to listen for a few minutes with his ears sideways. After confirming that it was the sound of running water, he excitedly walked through the woods.

Soon, the sound of the water became louder and louder, and eventually even rumbled.

"Meow~"

It's a waterfall~
Walking through the woods, Lorraine found himself next to a waterfall, which seemed to extend from the cliff where seabirds breed - the waterfall was hidden among the vines, and only small water splashes could be seen among the rocks Jump, eventually falling into a pool of water below the rock wall.

Moreover, there are gurgling water flowing down from the pool along the terrain, and it seems that there is still a large watershed of its own.
Very good!
It's a water source!
Watching the water falling from the rock wall splash a rainbow in the afternoon sun, Ron nodded with satisfaction.

Having a water source means that there is no need to drink precious coconut water, and the state of not being able to waste a few days ago can be cancelled.

However, although Ron, who had trekked for several kilometers in the jungle, was very thirsty, he did not rush to drink the seemingly clear pool water - there are traces of biological organisms in any water body, and Ron would not drink wild water unless it was boiled. water.

Licking his lips, Ron walked through the forest again following the wet water.

Although there is a lot of water in the pool, it is too far from the edge of the island, and it is not easy to get water. Ron is going to follow the current to find a place as close to the sea as possible.

If possible, move the new shelter next to the water source, so that water can be easily fetched. Secondly, places with fresh water will definitely attract many small animals, and food can also be easily obtained.

…………

The water gurgled forward, sometimes disappearing in the grass, sometimes jumping off the rock wall. After half an hour of hard tracking, Ron walked out of the jungle again. Only then did he find that the water converged again on the land at the end to form a pool larger than a pool. Multiple lakes, and disappear into the rock crevice at the end.

"Meow~"

It turns out that the end of this stream is a dark river, no wonder I didn't see it during the first inspection.

And on the edge of this lake, Ron also saw a whole piece of bamboo - this bamboo forest has several kinds of bamboo leaves of different sizes, obviously there are several kinds of bamboos in it.

Although he couldn't recognize the type of bamboo, Ron could tell that there were three kinds of bamboo inside. One kind of bamboo had small leaves, but tall and straight branches, as thick as Ron's tail, which could just serve as a support for the shelter.

The second type of bamboo had broad leaves, which Ron had seen the Hawaiians use to wrap food, but it was also excellent for weaving hats.

As for the third type of bamboo, Ron didn't see any use value, but at their roots, Ron saw many tiny bamboo shoots sprouting.

"Meow~"

What luck!

The problems of construction materials and water sources were solved in one trip, which made Ron quite satisfied.

He approached the water source slowly, and jumped into the lake with a splash—although he did not stop drinking the raw water in the lake, but it was no problem to use it for bathing.

After all, in the past two days without fresh water, Ron's drenched hair is full of small salt particles and fine sand, so it is necessary to wash it.

And Ron just visually observed that this lake is not far from the beach where the shelter is located. After washing, you can ask Catherine to come and wash together.

But just as Ron was washing his body happily, an underwater shadow slowly approached...
