Chapter 36: The Freshwater Crisis
Here, it was supposed to be a pond.
But now, there is nothing left here, only a piece of sludge, and some aquatic plants, and the fish in it, all of which have gone.
"What's the situation, what about Lao Tzu's pond?" Jiang Fei tended to go crazy.
Water is the source of life, and this pond is their greatest reliance!
However, it suddenly evaporated out of thin air, so it's too special to bully people!
"Could it be that we were all in a mirage before? In fact, there is no pond here?" Chen Ling's mind opened.
"No way, we've all gone into the water to swim, we've taken out the cement, we've drunk the water in it, it's not a mirage. Xiao Ning shook his head decisively.
"How can a good pond be gone?" Dai Xinrui said.
"Did someone use a pumping machine to drain all the water out of this?" Chen Ling was whimsical again.
Jiang Fei glanced at Chen Ling, and ignored her this time.
Chen Xue also pinched Chen Ling's arm, Chen Ling playfully stuck out his tongue, and suddenly stopped speculating.
"I'll go down and have a look. ”
Xiao Ning took off his shoes, rolled up the hem of his trousers, and stepped into the mud.
"Be careful, don't fall into it. Jiang Fei reminded.
Xiao Ning nodded, and every step he took was very cautious.
As we got closer to the center, the deeper the silt became, reaching Xiao Ning's waist.
"Ningzi, come back. Jiang Fei shouted, he was afraid that Xiao Ning would be in danger.
"It's okay, I'll go any further, I'm going to find out why the water in the pond is gone. Xiao Ning motioned to Jiang Fei and the others to rest assured.
With a sound from Ku Ci, Xiao Ning found that he almost stepped on the air, and at this moment, the foot of his right foot stretched out seemed to be vacuum!
Xiao Ning took a step back and immediately cleaned up the mud, and then, he saw a big hole the thickness of an adult's arm!
Xiao Ning continued to dig for a while, and found that this hole was actually the thickness of a bucket!
Could it be that all the water in the pond flows through this hole?
Where does this hole lead?
They were away for a day, almost ten hours, and in ten hours, could a pond of water flow from this hole?
Xiao Ning felt that his head was extremely big, and suddenly thought of the math problems of his student days.
There is a tank of water, plug in a water pipe, set: what is the speed of the water flow, how much water is there, and ask: how much time does it take to drain the water.
However, Xiao Ning did not have exact data, so he could only speculate that the water in the pond had flowed through this hole.
"Damn, how is this pond like a pool?
"What's going on?" Jiang Fei asked, he had just seen Xiao Ning busy for a while, and felt that Xiao Ning should have something to gain.
"In the middle of the pond, there was a hole the size of a bucket, and I suspect that the water was flowing from that hole. Xiao Ning said.
"Huh?" Jiang Fei's eyes widened in disbelief.
The same is true for Chen Ling's three daughters, who thought they had misheard.
Can it still be like this?
Xiao Ning shrugged his shoulders and said: Whether you believe it or not, that's what it is anyway.
"What are we going to do? We don't have any water to drink. Dai Xinrui looked depressed.
Xiao Ning sighed, yes, they have encountered a freshwater crisis again!
Without fresh water, many things could not be done, not only would they die of thirst, but some food could not be cooked, so they had to be roasted again.
Snake soup, it's a soup!
"There is still some leftover water in the house, which should be enough to last for two days, so let's go eat meat first, eat well and sleep well, and set off tomorrow morning to find a new water source!"
Xiao Ning made the above arrangements for the time being, and everyone had been gone for a day and needed to have a good rest.
Save your stamina in order to face a worse situation!
Early the next morning, Xiao Ning got up early, looked at the water in the shoddy water cup, and swallowed his saliva.
But he didn't drink it, so he poured the water, drop by drop, and irrigated it on the soil where the plants were grown.
He had to make sure that the crops he had planted did not die, and if they did, his previous efforts would be in vain.
"Ningzi, did you notice anything wrong?"
Jiang Fei stood next to Xiao Ning and peed, frowning and saying while urinating.
"Turn your little brother away, you're going to splash me. Xiao Ning frowned slightly, and then asked, "What's wrong?"
"This big meadow is so empty. Jiang Fei said.
After hearing this, Xiao Ning raised his head and really found that the big grass was very empty, and those herbivores were all gone!
Damn, don't let people live?
The water in the pond has evaporated inexplicably, and now even the animals on the grass have disappeared!
The meat in the mouth is just gone?
"Don't tell Chen Ling the news yet, after they wake up, take them directly to the forest to find a water source. Xiao Ning said.
In order not to cause panic, Xiao Ning decided to bear this bad news silently with Jiang Fei.
After Chen Ling's three daughters got up, Jiang Fei directly pulled them into the forest.
This time they changed directions, the previous northeast direction, they had walked more than 20 kilometers yesterday, and they did not find a water source, this time they went to the southeast.
The group of five went into battle lightly, carrying only the necessary water and some jerky, as well as a sharp-toothed spear.
"This thing is so familiar. ”
Xiao Ning suddenly stopped in front of a vine.
"What's wrong, isn't this just a vine?" asked Chen Ling curiously.
"This seems to be a water vine?" Jiang Fei said tentatively.
"That's right! it's Mizuten!" Xiao Ning nodded frantically.
Previously, he had seen this water vine on a wilderness survival show.
There is a lot of water in this water vine!
"There's water!" Dai Xinrui suddenly cheered.
"Cut, fetch water!" Xiao Ning decisively ordered.
However, perhaps because of this water vine, it does not have much water in its body.
Xiao Ning and the others almost cut this water vine to the roots, and they collected more than 100 milliliters of water, less than a bottle of Coke!
Everyone was a little lost for a moment, but it was better than nothing, and this water was enough to support one person through the day.
After the morning, no water source was found, except for a bottle of dirty water in a small puddle.
If the dirty water in this small puddle is filtered, I am afraid that there will only be more than 100 milliliters left to drink.
Xiao Ning holds his head in both hands, it's too difficult, it's too difficult to be a man!
"No way! Let's make distilled water!" Xiao Ning decided.
"Distilled water, I know how to do this, but we're not on the beach, there's no seawater to distill for us!" Chen Ling frowned.
"Why does it have to be seawater? as long as it has water!"
Xiao Ning stared at the branches and leaves around him.
Chen Ling, who was clever and clever with a small head, immediately understood.
They can mash the leaves and branches, and the juice will come out when the time comes!
Use this juice to distill and you can get distilled water as well!
That's a great way to do it!
