“My goodness, so that’s what it is......”
“What’s up?”
“These are Gymnopilus mushrooms, a poisonous hallucinogenic mushroom! In medicine, it can be used as an antidepressant, but eating too much is life-threatening! Criminals have turned it into drugs!”
Jiang Yao said in horror: “Could it be......she ate poisonous mushrooms?”
Lu Zhe nodded: “Yes, it’s very likely......”
“Then isn’t she in danger?!”
“Given the current situation, she must have eaten some, but we don’t know how much!”
“What should we do then?”
“Right now, we can only find her as soon as possible and then consider helping her induce vomiting to get the toxins out of her system.”
Lu Zhe knew this was just a makeshift solution. If she had eaten them a long time ago, most of the toxins would have already been absorbed, greatly diminishing the effectiveness of vomiting.
But there was another possibility Lu Zhe didn’t mention - that the flight attendant had hallucinations after eating the poisonous mushrooms and thought a rescue team had arrived in the ocean, so she ran into the sea and was eaten by sharks!
Or she ran into the jungle, got lost, and died there!
But Lu Zhe also told himself he had to be mentally prepared.
To put it bluntly!
While the flight attendant was nice, they didn’t know her that well after all!
They didn’t come to the volcanic island for her sake, but for the sake of a better living environment and more useful resources!
As for her!
It would be great if they could save her of course!
But if they couldn’t save her, they’d just have to be at peace with it and say she wasn’t fated to survive.
To put it even more bluntly, if it was a man, Lu Zhe wouldn’t even want him to survive!
It sounded cruel!
But there was no other way.
Resources were limited, and there were still four gorgeous beauties!
With no legal or moral constraints, how could one not have ideas!
On a deserted island, the first priority was one’s own and companions’ safety!
But now, Lu Zhe really wanted to know where she was!
Even if she was already dead!
He also wanted to figure out how she died!
This would help him comprehensively understand the island!
Since they couldn’t search the ocean now, Lu Zhe decided to go into the woods to look for clues to see if he could find any traces of her.
“This is a good spot for a temporary camp. You guys stay here, I’m going into the woods to take a look and see if she went in there.”
“Let’s go together!”
Lu Zhe thought for a moment:
“The tropical jungle is too dangerous, with poisonous insects, snakes and ants. I’m afraid I can’t look after everyone if we all go.
How about this - just one person come with me. If I need help carrying her out, you can help me carry stuff!”
Jiang Yao said, “I’m the girlfriend on duty today, I’ll go with you!”
Lu Zhe shook his head:
“This isn’t an expedition, it’s survival and rescue. Besides, your and Guo Er's wounds haven't fully healed yet, and your shoes aren't suitable for exploring the jungle either. Will you be able to run if needed?”
Jiang Yao nodded regretfully. “Alright then, I’ll stay here too and try starting a fire with the condom you gave me.”
Lu Zhe gave Jiang Yao the condom.
Tang Xiaoguo said, “So I can’t go either, right?”
“That’s right!”
Lin Qianqian said, “Little Zhe, I’ll go with you!”
Ning Shu also said, “In case we come across the passed out flight attendant, Lu Zhe, you can carry her while Qianqian holds stuff. Someone's gotta look after you guys, so I’ll come along too!”
Lu Zhe thought for a moment: “You two can come, but no flip flops or slippers when going into the jungle, in case you step on poisonous bugs. Wear your own shoes.”
“Got it!”
“Also, once we’re in the woods, stay right on my heels. Everything goes according to me once we’re in the jungle!”
“Understood!”
“Yao Yao, Guo Er, if you see a snake, you can beat the ground with a wooden stick to scare it away. Don't provoke it lightly, or it might crawl up the stick and bite you! Anyway, be very careful!”
Jiang Yao nodded. “Don’t worry!”
Lu Zhe brought two coconuts of water, then entered the woods with Ning Shu and Qianqian!
Then they discovered that the vegetation on the volcanic island had far more variety compared to Egg Yolk Island!
Things they had found on Egg Yolk Island like dayflower, fishmint, wild strawberries, Indian spinach, blackberries, and false agave were also spotted here!
There were also bananas!
Real bananas!
Ripe fruit could be eaten!
Even if the fruit wasn't ripe yet, banana cores, flowers, and roots could also be eaten.
If someone familiar with these wild vegetables was stranded here, they would never risk eating mushrooms out of lack of carbohydrate sources!
Now Lu Zhe didn't have the leisure to gather these wild fruits and vegetables. Holding a harpoon in one hand and a stone axe in the other, he carefully headed deeper into the woods!
Qianqian had never seen such a lush rainforest before. Clutching Lu Zhe’s clothes, she couldn’t help feeling a little scared. “Hey, little Zhe, are there tigers, lions or wolves or anything like that in here?”
Lu Zhe shook his head. “You can rest assured about that. The food chain on an island generally does not allow for large pure carnivorous animals!”
Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh......”
“But while there may not be lions, tigers or wolves, I can't guarantee there aren't smaller felines like cats and leopards, as well as omnivorous wild boars and bears. They may be even more dangerous than tigers!”
Ning Shu shivered. “Hehe, not a simple level of difficulty it seems!”
Qianqian asked again, “Is there anything more dangerous than them?”
“There is! In tropical jungles, poisonous snakes, parasites, spiders, centipedes, mosquitoes and flies - those kinds of poisonous bugs are much more dangerous than carnivorous mammals!”
But there was one thing Lu Zhe didn't mention!
He was afraid of scaring the two girls.
That was pythons!
Giant pythons often appear on Southeast Asian islands. Their tremendous constricting force can easily crush a human chest cavity, swallowing fainted people alive!
But at the same time, things have two sides!
The presence of pythons on an island generally indicates available freshwater resources!
The three walked carefully for over a hundred meters and discovered a bamboo forest. After that, they could see small patches of bamboo forest at intervals.
This was worth celebrating!
Bamboo was an extremely important survival material. Not only could various tools be made from it, but it could also store fresh water. Bamboo leaves could substitute for toilet paper, and bamboo shoots were also a very nutritious wild vegetable!
"Looks like we really came to the right place!"
"Is bamboo very useful?"
"The uses are tremendous. If we had made bamboo rafts on Egg Yolk Island, the hollow bamboo would have provided more buoyancy, and we could have come here two days earlier!"
"Learned something new again!" Qianqian whipped out her notebook for another bout of note-taking!
Ning Shu smiled. "I thought you were a panda, seeing the bamboo like seeing your family!"
Just then, they heard a strange sound!
"Daddy, Mommy, save me......"
A girlish voice with a sob came from deep within the bamboo forest. Lu Zhe, Qianqian and Ning Shu were shocked, then said in unison, "The flight attendant!"
"Something's not right!"
Ning Shu frowned. "Why is she calling for Daddy and Mommy at this time?"
Qianqian shuddered. "And her tone is like a little girl's."
Lu Zhe tightened his grip on the stone axe. "Anyway, let's go take a look first!"
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
