Survival From The Wilderness: Mission Master

Chapter 11

Chapter 11 Searching for Water

The previous work of collecting twigs took a lot of time, but it was much simpler to build a bonfire. A solid bonfire was completed in ten minutes.

Then just wait for a ship or plane to ignite when passing by.

It was only one morning at this time, and after picking up some fish and shrimps and grilling them on the beach, Ye Qing began to think about his next plan.

To be honest, he doesn’t usually watch those programs of survival in the wild. He always feels that they are far away from him.

Unexpectedly, he really fell to this point now. Ye Qing already felt that he was very powerful when he could think of using smoke to attract attention. Besides, he really didn’t know what he should do next.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a new task, do you accept it?”

Ye Qing has become accustomed to the high-cold attribute that the system suddenly emerges and then suddenly becomes silent. He immediately delighted when he heard that there is a task. He was really dozing off and sent a pillow. She was worried that there was nothing to do, so she chose to accept it without hesitation. .

[Task name: Find water source][Mission introduction: To survive on an island, clean fresh water resources are indispensable. Act quickly and find a fixed water source to increase the possibility of survival! 】

【Task Reward: System Points *50】

Water source… Ye Qing suddenly discovered that this task really came too timely.

When he woke up on the island, the first thing he did was to find a source of water, but then he had a system and found the coconut grove. After that, he was busy completing system tasks and tinkering with the radio. I forgot about it.

Now that the system has become a task, he has to act on everything he says.

When he was eating just now, he tried the radio again and found that the signal was still not good.

Contacting the outside world again, I am afraid that there is no hope in a short time.

And he realized that one problem was that when he floated on this island, his consciousness was very vague, that is to say, he didn’t even know where he was.

So even if I contacted the outside, I didn’t know the location, so I could only wait for the rescue team to find this place by themselves.

This means that he still needs to survive on this island for a relatively long period of time.

Drinking coconut milk will definitely not work every day. If you drink too much of that thing, you will have diarrhea. Don’t end up with diarrhea and dehydration to replenish water.

To solve this problem, we must solve the problem of fresh water.

To be honest, after coming to this island, Ye Qing has been moving around on the beach, picking up dry wood, but only on the edge of the woods.

The only thing that went deeper was when he went to collect those branches and leaves earlier, and he still kept the distance where he could see the beach at all times.

At first, he was worried that he would get lost.

Secondly, I was afraid that there would be any beasts in the woods, so I had a dagger in my hand to deal with pheasants and rabbits. In the event of a wild boar, I am afraid that I would be abused and even lost my life.

But now in order to find freshwater resources, he has to choose to face these threats.

Without further ado, he picked a stick that seemed to be tough from the dry wood in the cave and sharpened one end with a saber, intending to use this to defend himself.

I tried it. Although I’m not sure if I can pierce the skin of a wild boar, I can still deal with ordinary animals.

Before leaving, Ye Qing picked out some branches and leaves from the previous bonfire pile, piled it with dry wood to form a smaller bonfire pile, and then lit it.

He didn’t want to find a way back after he entered the deep forest and found Danshui. Although there was nothing to miss here, the cave was more or less a temporary home for him. The feelings are inside.

This kind of branches and leaves was really not easy to burn, and immediately emitted a thick smoke that went straight to the sky.

There was not much wind at this time, but it was also on the seashore, a little bit, but it did not affect the function of the smoke as a signal.

Seeing this, Ye Qing felt more relieved.

Putting on the navigation glasses, the saber pinned to his waist, and the simple spear made in his hand, he set off toward the woods.

He did not walk directly into the depths of the woods, but first observed the mountain behind the beach, and then obliquely inserted into the mountain that was recessed inward from the nearest place on the mountain.

Growing up in the countryside, he knew very well that in a mountain, if there is a source of water, it must be in the kind of place he chose.

Because the water source on the mountain is actually the place where rainwater tends to gather when it rains.

In addition, it also depends on the surrounding soil conditions.

If the soil is more viscous, the rainwater will directly form streams or even floods and wash into the sea.

But if the soil is relatively loose, rainwater will seep directly into the ground and accumulate to a certain extent, and it will emerge in the form of mountain springs.

Therefore, Ye Qing also needs to observe the soil quality on the ground from time to time as he moves forward.

Before he knew it, he had arrived at the location he had previously reserved on the beach. Unfortunately, the soil here seemed to be sticky, and it was unlikely that fresh water would come out.

However, Ye Qing is not discouraged. The surrounding trees are taller, and the water content in the soil is higher than that in other places.

This means that there must be a source of water near here.

It really doesn’t work. Ye Qing can also dig a relatively simple well on the ground. After waiting for a period of time, water will also gather in it.

Of course, this is just a no-brainer, if he can find a ready-made one, he won’t bother with this effort.

Looking around again, Ye Qing came to a relatively flat valley, where there are fewer trees and surrounded by mountains on three sides, which is very suitable for camping.

But Ye Qing didn’t care about it. At this time, the sun was already westward, probably around four or five o’clock in the afternoon. If he couldn’t find fresh water anymore, he had to go back the same way. Otherwise, as soon as it got dark, he would be in the woods. Still very dangerous.

At this moment, some sound seemed to be coming from a distance, intermittently, without hearing too clearly.

After hesitating, Ye Qing decided to come closer, wondering if it would be other survivors.

Just thinking so, the simple spear in his hand was gripped tighter.

Wow…

The voice became clearer and clearer, and a smile began to appear on Ye Qing’s face.

That’s nothing else, it’s the sound of the stream!

The hard work paid off. After searching for a long time, I finally found it.

But Ye Qing made a wrong judgment. What he heard was indeed the sound of the stream, but when he approached, he realized that what he saw in front of him was not a complete stream, but a spring.

The location of the spring water is low-lying, forming a pool of water. On the edge of the spring water, there is a small cliff several meters high. The spring water flows from here, causing the sound he heard before.

Apart from anything else, Ye Qing directly rushed over and took a few big mouthfuls.

The cool spring water passed through his throat and continued to cool into his stomach, making him feel very comfortable.

When he was happy, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a place near the spring, which immediately made him more alert.

It was a footprint, not big, but not too small. It was half a slap in size, and it looked like it was left by a cat.

I checked around again, and there were many similar footprints, some of which looked new.

Ye Qing immediately saw a tiger or leopard drinking water here, and suddenly he was scared into a cold sweat.

Before he could think about it, he quickly withdrew carefully.

He didn’t even care about the sound of task completion from the system. *
