As the day fell, the temperature in the forest rose. Although it was still colder, it felt better than at night. Zhou Chen and the three left the fire and continued to search for water and food.
They still have to live in this place for more than six days. In order not to die of thirst, they can only find water as soon as possible.
The forest seemed calm during the day. The three of them searched for a few hours. The man in shorts wove himself a cloak out of weeds, and found some small green and black fruits on low bushes and introduced them to Zhou Chenhe. Single ponytail girl.
"It's this kind of fruit. Don't look at it as small. Although it tastes strange, it contains a lot of water."
When the man in shorts introduced the fruit while eating fruit, Zhou Chen did not pick or eat directly, but asked the man in shorts.
"The color of this fruit doesn't look right... it won't be poisonous, right?"
The man in shorts suddenly hesitated when he heard what he said.
"This...I'm not sure...Because of my talent, I am not afraid of toxins...so I can only say that this kind of fruit is definitely not very poisonous, otherwise I will have some reactions."
"You are a little too careful."
The short ponytail **** the side was a bit speechless at this time, and saw that she picked some fruit from the bush and put it in her mouth. After chewing a few times, her face suddenly became a little distorted, but she quickly pressed down again.
"It's really ugly...but there is also a lot of juice..."
The girl tried to swallow the unpalatable fruit from her mouth while plucking a few more.
When Zhou Chen saw this, he reached out and picked some, but he only put them in his pocket and didn't eat them directly.
"Why don't you eat it?"
The girl raised her eyebrows when she saw it,
"Are you afraid of eating such unpalatable things?"
A sudden smile appeared on her face immediately.
"I'm not thirsty yet, I will eat later."
Zhou Chen replied.
"Hehe...you want to see my next reaction...really cautious..."
The girl seemed to see through Zhou Chen and directly exposed.
"Hehe, whatever you think."
Zhou Chen didn't care, there was indeed a reason why he didn't eat now.
The three of them picked the fruits and continued to explore in the forest. After another hour, they still did not find the water source, but found embers of a campfire on the ground.
"It should be left by other survivors. They have been away from here for a while."
The man in shorts looked at the embers on the ground and said.
"Judging from the traces here, there are two people... they have gone in this direction."
Zhou Chen bent down and observed for a while, then judged.
"Then let's meet them, there are so many people and powerful."
The single ponytail girl immediately gave an offer.
"Um...this survival copy, it is better to unite."
Zhou Chen nodded after hearing this. This copy is a bit long, and he doesn't want to go it alone.
The three of them then proceeded in the direction they judged, and after another two hours, they made a big discovery in front of them:
They saw a small circular lake in the forest ahead. By the lake, young people in white coats and young men in green military uniforms stood out.
When Zhou Chen and the others approached, they found that the young man in the white coat was soaked and there were a lot of water marks on the young man in the green military uniform.
"What's the matter? Did you accidentally fall into the lake?"
Zhou Chen felt a little strange that the young man in the white coat was soaked all over, he didn't look like such a careless person.
The focus of the single ponytail girl at this time was on the lake not far away, and she ran to the lake, preparing to have a drink.
"do not go!"
The young man in a white coat, who was drenched and trembling with cold, called out the girl at this moment.
"What's wrong? Why don't you let me go?"
The girl suddenly stopped with some doubts.
"There are monsters in the lake that will pull people into the water."
The young man in a white coat watched her answer seriously.
"Thanks for reminding."
The girl nodded, but the pace to the lake did not stop, but the speed slowed down.
At this time, Zhou Chen had already taken out a lighter to help the young man in the green uniform set the fire, and then he also walked to the lake.
At this time, the girl with a single ponytail was the closest to the small lake, and behind her was a man with shorts.
"Is there really a monster in it? The lake looks very clear... there is nothing in it..."
The girl got a white coat. The reminder of the youth did not go directly to the lake to drink water, but approached while observing close to the lake.
Zhou Chen also went to the lake to observe at this time. He saw that the water in this small lake was crystal clear, and it seemed that there was nothing but stones in it.
Finally, the girl walked within one meter of the lake water. Holding a long-handled knife, she bent down while observing the nearby lake. An empty pure water bottle appeared in the hand close to the lake.
Slowly, the empty bottle in the girl's hand touched the water surface and entered the water. The clear lake water quickly poured into the bottle.
However, when the girl and Zhou Chen and others felt that everything was going well, a transparent claw formed by water suddenly stretched out in front of the clear lake. This claw grabbed the girl’s arm holding the bottle. Pulled her towards the lake!
The girl reacted quickly, and the long-handled knife in her other hand immediately slashed towards the transparent claw, and directly defeated the claw. However, this was not the end, and the lake in front of her suddenly burst out five more. The transparent claws formed by the water flow grabbed her around her body.
This time the girl couldn't deal with it anymore. She had only time to defeat two of them with a long-handled knife, and was grabbed by the other three claws and pulled towards the lake.
Fortunately, Zhou Chen and the man in shorts stood behind her at this time. They immediately stepped forward when they saw this, and took the girl back from the water claws vigorously. This process was not easy, but it was not particularly difficult.
When the girl was rescued, her body was mostly wet, shivering in the cold air, but she was not without harvest, the pure water bottle in her hand was still there, with a small half bottle of water in it.
"Can you drink this water?"
Walking to the fire that had been built, the girl asked the young man in a white coat.
"I can't be completely sure...but I still don't feel any discomfort after taking a sip."
The young man in a white coat nodded.
"Do you have a bottle? Do you want to divide it?"
She then swept her eyes across the others and asked.
"No, this is too little, you can drink it yourself."
The man in shorts shook his head. He turned to look at Zhou Chen and the man in his twenties wearing a green uniform.
"Where shall we cooperate to get some water?"
"Row."
Zhou Chen immediately agreed. He took out the Coke bottle from his backpack.
"Use this bottle of mine, it's big enough."
"OK."
The naked man in shorts took Zhou Chen's Coke bottle, and he walked to the lake with Zhou Chen and the youth in military uniform.
"I crawled over to fill the bottle with water, and you guys pulled my legs back at the right time."
As a person who didn't wear clothes, Zhang Yang and the young man in uniform were responsible for pulling him back.
