As a result, after searching for another two hours, the three still failed to find the way up the mountain or new fresh water resources, and could only return along the original path.
When they returned to the water cave, Lu Zhe discovered that the bottle had already collected about 800ml of fresh water, and the water droplets had stopped dripping in.
It turned out that at this time, the sun had moved west, and the temperature difference between the rocks and the air was no longer very large, so naturally it was impossible to condense new water droplets.
It seems that they have to come earlier tomorrow, and prepare a bigger container!
But this is not bad too. Conserving it, the drinking water for tonight has been settled.
They packed up and returned to the camp! By the time they arrived at the camp, it was already 4 pm.
Shen Bing, Ning Shu and Tang Xiaoguo were all tired and dozing off in the hammocks.
“How did it go?”
Shen Bing said, “We dug another half meter down, still no water.”
Tang Xiaoguo said weakly, “Should we change places?!”
Ning Shu lazily said, “After digging for so long without water, I finally understand how hard it is to be a man!”
"It's two meters down already?"
Lu Zhe was a little puzzled. He walked to the well mouth and looked down, and couldn't help but be stunned.
The bottom of the well was like a mirror, reflecting his dirty face.
Lu Zhe's mind went blank:
"I said, isn't this water?"
"What?"
"Ah, Lu Zhe, don't joke around. We dug..."
Ning Shu got out of the hammock, walked over and looked down into the well, and immediately let out a "wow" yell.
Then an outburst of ecstasy: “What’s going on?”
Shen Bing and Tang Xiaoguo also came over: “What happened?”
As a result, the two were stunned!
After a while, Tang Xiaoguo came up with a weird idea: “Is it because this island is not serious, and it only comes out with water if there are only guys here?"
Lu Zhe nodded: "You really have the talent of young masters!"
"Praising our survival skills?"
"No! Always going with the wind to talk nonsense, and going against the wind to talk reason... Hey hey hey, don't twist me!"
Lu Zhe analyzed the situation of the emerging water:
"The characteristics of freshwater lenses. You can dig deep enough and still may not hit water, but after a period of time, the groundwater will penetrate here through the unique porous geological structure of coral reefs."
"I see, haha!"
"That's amazing!"
The few hugged each other, jumping with joy.
Indeed, the hard work of the day was not in vain, and anyone would be happy beyond themselves!
However, is this definitely fresh water?
Not necessarily!
If drought has lasted for too long, it is possible that underground freshwater has been exhausted and seawater has been sucked in instead.
He jumped down, braced his feet on both sides, used his military kettle to scoop up a pool of water!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new source of fresh water, potential points +1!"
Lu Zhe was finally relieved, it really was fresh water!
He climbed back up: “It’s great that it’s fresh water!”
“Is it really? Can we drink it? I’m dying of thirst!”
Ning Shu picked up the aluminum box and was about to drink it, but couldn’t help but be stunned: “I say, this stuff... can you drink it?”
As it turned out, the groundwater was contaminated with a lot of mud, and there were a lot of suspended mud and sand particles in the water, making the water look very dirty.
Tang Xiaoguo also frowned: “Yeah, it’s so dirty!”
But Lu Zhe didn't care: “It is a bit dirty, but it is indeed fresh water! It can't be drunk directly when it's so dirty, but after filtering and boiling, there will be no problem!"
Shen Bing nodded: “I get it. Girls, let’s take apart plastic bottles to make filters!”
"Can only take apart one at most!"
Lu Zhe gave his own suggestion: “You can't find bottles in the woods. We have to conserve them and use bamboo cylinders for the rest!”
Shen Bing nodded: “How do you make bamboo cylinders?”
“Listen to me!”
Lu Zhe began to command:
“Class monitor, prepare bamboo charcoal, shallow fine sand, Xiaoguo find some gravel, Yao find some cloth and sponge!”
The four girls got busy, and soon everything was ready.
Lu Zhe chopped a bamboo stick, poked small holes in the mineral water bottle cap with nails, inverted the bottle with the bottom cut out, put cloth, gravel, bamboo charcoal, fine sand and sponge inside as the first layer filter,
Drilled holes in the bamboo cylinder, put sponge and more cloth inside as the second layer filter!
Use bamboo sticks as support to tie the filter above, let the muddy water settle for a while before pouring it into the filter.
Sure enough, after a while, clear water flowed out from under the bamboo.
But although it looked clear, they still didn't dare to guarantee that there were no bacteria or microorganisms inside.
They poured the filtered water into Lu Zhe’s military kettle and boiled it on the fire!
Tang Xiaoguo curiously asked: “Is boiled water completely drinkable?”
Lu Zhe nodded: “Of course, if you don't mind burning your mouth!”
Ning Shu said gloomily: “Ah? Then waiting for it to cool down will take a long time!”
“Have all the water supplies at camp been drunk?”
Shen Bing nodded: “Well, doing this kind of work, you have to drink a bottle after a while, too costly in water.”
Lu Zhe understood how much demand for fresh water was needed for heavy physical labor, and the remaining water reserves at the camp were indeed not enough for the girls’ use.
“By the way, we got a bottle of fresh water. Let's share it sparingly! When the water boils, we can drink tea with lemon and honey!"
Lin Qianqian looked forward to it: “Can we drink beverages on this deserted island too?”
Lu Zhe nodded: “That’s right!”
Sure enough, an hour later, as the sun went down.
Bear paws were roasting on the fire, and everyone held bamboo cups, sitting in front of the fire, enjoying the lemon flavored scented tea, overflowing with happiness!
“It’s so delicious!”
“It reminds me of getting up in the dormitory in the middle of the night to make flower tea!”
Ning Shu thought for a while, and suddenly said, “I feel like something might be wrong, but now I'm starting to like life on the island a bit...”
Jiang Yao smiled slightly: “Actually, me too...”
Lin Qianqian happily said: “I always have been, because I'm with my favorite buddies!”
But Tang Xiaoguo didn’t think so. She was still fantasizing about holding a grand wedding with Lu Zhe!
It wouldn’t do without relatives and friends attending!
Only Shen Bing frowned worriedly, extremely anxious!
Years of unremitting exercise made her body very healthy.
For the past ten years, her period had always been punctual, never off by a day in 28 days!
But counting the days, it was already three days late, and still no sign of coming.
Was it the drastic decline in her physical condition after being stranded on the island that caused menstrual irregularities, or had something else happened...
Then she looked at Lu Zhe and thought of a worrying result!
She gently rubbed her forehead and helplessly prayed:
Heaven, please don't let something really happen...
But accidents are prone to happen!
She tried her best to calm down and started thinking, what if the worst result really happened?
Give birth?
No!
She wasn’t married yet, and Lu Zhe wasn't prepared either!
How would they face it if they had a child now?
Besides, with the medical conditions here, it was very likely that both the mother and child would become infected rice lunches!
Abortion?
With what?
Using the wrong medicine would still be very dangerous for herself...
What to do?
What to do!
Worried to death!
At this time, Ning Shu asked, “Sister Bing, do you like it here too?”
Shen Bing was startled.
To be honest, the days of surviving here with five college students were the happiest times of her life!
But...
She looked down at her lower abdomen, if it really happened, only going back would allow her to safely deal with this naughty little thing!
She shook her head:
“No, I think... we should still go back.”
Then she put down the bamboo cup, stood up, smiled and said, “You guys chat first, sister is a little tired, going to sleep first.”
After speaking, she turned around and went back to her hammock, lying down silently.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
