Make a makeshift camp, everyone chill.

Lin Qianqian said, "Do you need my help?"

Lu Zhe shook his head: "No need, your body is too weak, resting more is the biggest help!"

Tang Xiaoguo said, "What about me?"

Lu Zhe nodded: "Xiaoguo and the monitor will have to work hard to help me lay down leaves!"

Ning Shu said, "Where do we start?"

"Here is good!"

Lu Zhe walked to a tree and took a look: "The sunlight is blocked by the trees, but sitting directly on the sand is definitely uncomfortable. Let's pluck some broad leaves and lay them on the ground first! Then go to the beach and use bottles to hold seawater!"

Tang Xiaoguo frowned, "What's the use of holding seawater? It's not drinkable anyway."

"Who said it was for drinking?"

Lu Zhe seriously explained, "Holding seawater has three main uses! First, seawater has a larger heat capacity than air temperature, so water bottles placed on the body can directly cool down! Second, seawater sprinkled around the campsite will absorb some heat when it evaporates, which also cools down! Third, two bottles can be placed against each other to make a still. The sun is fierce now, and we may be able to get some fresh water at night!"

The thinking was clear and the goals were clear.

Tang Xiaoguo nodded seemingly comprehendingly.

Ning Shu praised, "It looks like I didn't choose the wrong person to take charge!"

No sooner said than done!

The three cleared out a space and started to break off broad leaves. Lu Zhe was responsible for breaking them off while Ning Shu and Tang Xiaoguo were responsible for neatly laying them on the ground!

Since there were broad leaves from various trees everywhere, this task was very easy. In less than twenty minutes, the three had laid a 4 square meter leaf mat under the shade of the trees.

Sitting on the cool leaves, Lin Qianqian gently wiped Jiang Yao's face, "It's much cooler now. Yao Yao should be able to feel it!"

"It's not over yet!"

Then the three went to the beach to fetch water, first sprinkling it around the campsite!

The dirtier bottles were filled with water and placed at their feet and sides purely for cooling purposes!

The cleaner bottles, smaller ones, were filled halfway with seawater and half buried in the hot sand, while bigger bottle mouths were broken into a U-shape and slanted to fit over the tops of the small bottles, propped up with sticks!

The heat of the beach itself combined with the blazing sun caused the water to evaporate. The water vapor then condensed into droplets that gathered in low-lying places!

This was drinkable freshwater!

Unfortunately, there were only three bottles that could fit over the tops. Lu Zhe didn't have the tools to cut bottles either, otherwise he could have made ten or eight stills.

But at the very least, it looked like the beginnings of survival now, so they wouldn't be so ragged.

Meanwhile, the resourceful Lin Qianqian had woven three leaf headbands!

Although very simple, the colors weren't very nice, but they were useful for shielding heads from the scorching sun!

Still pretty useful!

After getting all this done, the temperature in the camp had dropped significantly!

Sitting under the green shade on the grass mats, the girls actually felt a sense of comfort and happiness.

If the rescue team could arrive within 24 hours, they might be able to hold out.

But what if no one came?

Lu Zhe understood that they had to prepare for the worst case scenario! If by some chance the rescue team didn't come, they needed to find more important survival supplies in order to live!

Fresh water was always paramount.

Lu Zhe decided to take a risky search around the woods—only if they could find a constant water source and food could they truly get rid of the threat of death!
