Chapter 211: Water

In the early morning, it was still dawn, and Luo Yuan carried a large washbasin and walked towards the stream.

The washbasin is made of iron, with a diameter of about half a meter. It is completely made of armor from a transport machine. Although it has been thinned as much as possible, it still weighs more than ten pounds and can almost be used as a shield.

It's still early morning, and the temperature is quite high, with temperatures of more than thirty degrees, but compared to noon, it is undoubtedly the coolest time.

The thunderstorm has disappeared for five days, and the originally silent forest has become active again. The traces of mutated creatures and the chirping of insects have appeared in the jungle from time to time. Compared with the previous few days, it is much noisy.

Luo Yuan left slowly, his face was heavy, his brows frowned, and his right hand held the saber and cut off the branches extending from both sides of the path from time to time. The branches were green and tender, and they curled up slightly, obviously they had just grown last night.

The soft ground covered with layers of dead leaves is slightly moist, which is the result of wetting dew at night. Remove the surface, but the inside is completely dry leaves and the soil that turns into powder.

It has not rained for more than ten days.

This is completely normal in the western region, but it is fatal under such high temperatures.

However, these plants are growing more and more vigorously. Perhaps because their roots extend deep into the earth, they have no effect at all, but those mutant creatures may not have a good time. In the past few days, with the high temperature and a large amount of water evaporate, the water level of the stream is decreasing day by day. Judging from the situation I saw yesterday, the water cut has been cut in one or two days. If the weather is still so good in these two days.

But just looking at it today, it is obviously another sunny day.

With a heavy mood, Luo Yuan walked to the edge of the stream not long after, but the situation he saw was even more severe than he expected.

I haven't seen it for a day, and the stream here is about to bottom out. Yesterday it was still more than a foot deep, but now there is only a shallow layer, about ten centimeters left. Moreover, there are dead fish and shrimps everywhere in the stream. Most of these fish have died less than a day or two, but the high temperature has made these dead fish corrupt.

In a short time, these fish were already covered with maggots, and some dead fish were bitten by mutant beasts nearby, dyeing the stream water rotten brown. In addition, there were maggots, mutated mosquitoes and flies everywhere, and the air was filled with thick stench, which made people unable to help but turn around and run away.

However, these only made Luo Yuan frown and his face became a little gloomy.

With a terrifying momentum, countless mutated mosquitoes and flies of fists fell down and soon lay a layer on the ground.

Then, Luo Yuan walked along the upstream of the stream, trying to find a slightly cleaner source of water.

This stream is the only source of water nearby. Mutant creatures are active frequently. Along the way, many mutant creatures who are drinking water by the stream are trembling all over and quickly escape from the place. Luo Yuan, with a gloomy face, exudes a terrifying aura all over his body, like a terrifying beast that chooses people to eat. Before he gets close, the mutant creatures begin to escape quickly.

Of course, there were also rebellious grinning, but then they turned into a dead soul under the knife, and were picked up by Luo Yuan and carried it on his back.

After walking for about half an hour, just as he lost his patience, Luo Yuan finally found a shallow pool.

The stream here has completely cut off the current, leaving only this slightly deep pit with some water accumulation, but it is only more than one meter deep, and the water quality is very turbid, like a mud pond. However, at this time, it is no longer enough to expect, at least it is much better than rotten and smelly sewage.

Luo Yuan took the basin, filled it with a full basin, and quickly left the place. With the current lack of water, it will not take long to become a place for animals to gather for drinking water. Although he is strong, he is not confident that he can roam freely in this primeval forest.

The speed of going back was much faster. The basin filled with water was like a flat ground as he ran high and low. Few water could spill out.

In just over a dozen minutes, Luo Yuan returned to the camp.

Now the camp has changed a lot. In order to avoid incidents similar to the last time the person was killed, in the past few days, the woods around the transport plane, about 30 meters in radius have been cut down by everyone, and the weeds have been cleaned up one by one. Even the soft land is pushed by a few people and tightly compacted it.

But even so, the next morning, you can always see a green bud growing again from the soil.

At this time, everyone was holding on to the rare coolness in the morning and practicing the knife skills hard. Many men were shirtless, with greasy sweat all over their bodies, and practiced tirelessly over and over again. Every time the blade struck the air, it made a whistling sound of cutting the air.

These days, Luo Yuan taught some basic knife skills and related muscle transport, like a cram, and then he could only rely on repeated personal practice to form muscle memory and turn it into instinct. In fact, under the suffocating pressure, these people are far more working harder than Luo Yuan imagined. As long as he has free time, he will start practicing at high intensity.

Compared with more than ten days ago, these people have made more or less progress, at least not as terrible as before.

And perhaps because of the correct force, many people's body shapes have changed. The originally hard knotted muscles began to become soft and faded, and replaced by lines of lines like networks. From an image point of view, everyone has lost a lot of weight, but their explosive power and speed have become stronger.

However, Luo Yuan’s most optimistic attitude is that Deng Chao and Zhong Chuqiang, the two children, may be due to their strong sense of insecurity. They are simply desperate for their practice. Even if they eat and sleep, they often gesture and experience muscle movement. Although they are still far from comparing with Huo Dong, Wang Xiaguang and others, with this fanatical spirit and pure thinking, they may not be unable to practice sword light in the future, and they may even understand the momentum field.

Seeing Luo Yuan come back, Huang Jiahui put down her knife, wiped her sweat, took over Luo Yuan's basin, and saw the water in the basin, her body trembled slightly and said anxiously: "Is there no water there?"

"Maybe it's just one or two days, the water over there is almost the same." Luo Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not possible to rely on the stream water. In the afternoon, I'll go to the forest to see if I can find new water sources."

The two of them did not deliberately lower their voices.

When many people heard this, they put down their knife and walked over worriedly. When they saw the muddy water, their faces changed.

Failure to water is a fatal problem, especially in this kind of weather, everyone drinks a lot of water every day. If the water is cut off, I'm afraid I can't hold on for a day. Even Luo Yuan's physique may not be much better.

"Even if you can't find a new water source, don't worry." Luo Yuan thought for a while and comforted: "Many plants contain a lot of water. As long as you search carefully, you will definitely find it."

"I wish I could find the sap I had drunk before," Huo Dong said.

Wang Shishi subconsciously swallowed his saliva. The wonderful smell is still fresh in memory.

"This requires luck. I think we might as well dig a well." Company Commander Xia said with some doubts.

"Company Commander, I'm afraid it won't work. This is the western region. There is a shortage of water. Many wells need to reach dozens of meters, or even more than a hundred meters before they can get out of water. What's more, this is a mountainside, with a high terrain and rocks below. Unless you are lucky enough to hit an underground river, you won't be able to get out of water without hitting a hundred meters," said a soldier.

"Why don't we collect dew? I remember there is a book written by Crusoe on Amazon, which is written like this," Cao Lin said.

"It's Robinson Crusoe," Lin Xiaoji interrupted.

Cao Lin's face turned slightly red, ignored him, and continued, "I found that the transpiration effect in the forest is very strong. The dew is very big every morning. We can use leaves to collect dew."

Luo Yuan's eyes lit up: "I think it's feasible. As long as the collection range is large, we can get enough water. After breakfast, everyone will go to the forest to collect leaves together."

"We are going too?" Zhao Yali said subconsciously.

"Everyone is going this time. These days, everyone is working hard to practice sword skills. It's time to test it. After all, we will always leave here, and I can't protect you every time." Luo Yuan said lightly.
