Chapter 372: In vain
The two people in the water source group, Chen Chichi and Zhang Zifeng, can be said to be in a state of confusion throughout the whole process, Zhang Zifeng has good book knowledge, but lack of life experience, Chen Chichi's life experience is okay, but taking water in the wilderness environment?
"It stinks..."
Walking into a waterlogged area by mistake, the smell from the tip of the nose made the two retreat, and following the source of the smell, an animal carcass was found in the grass on the side, rotting only the skeleton, surrounded by various scavenging creatures.
Zhang Zifeng covered his mouth and felt sick to his stomach for a while, pulling Chen Chichi to quickly withdraw from this area, the smell was too high, it would be good if he could hold back and not vomit, what is the difference between getting water here and looking for death!
"Don't worry, Zifeng, stay away, I'll take a look around, maybe there are fish or something!"
Chen Chichi wanted to wade into the water to check, but before he could take action, he was stopped by the accompanying staff.
"There are too many locusts in this water, there are other parasites, poisonous snakes, and this surface water source is stagnant and undrinkable. ”
"Hahaha~ Just kidding, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. ”
Chen Chichi didn't want to say this before wading into the water, and the staff's reminder made him afraid, the medical conditions in Africa are not as good as those in China, and there is no way for many viruses in Africa.
"You can eat leaves, right?hahaha~ Leaves also have water, don't drink water, eat leaves!"
However, there seem to be a lot of green plants around, but when you get closer, you can see that in addition to the dwarf bushes and small conifers, there are also evergreen palm trees and tall acacia trees.
"Leaves~ No, right?"
Zhang Zifeng believed it and was very reluctant to accept this suggestion, they are not herbivores, can they swallow leaves?
"Let's look for it again!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
The delay is too long, we must speed up the progress to find a water source, I can endure hunger for a day without appetite, and if I don't have water, I will die.
The overall progress on the shelter side is okay, the general framework has been put in place, and all that remains is shelter from the wind and rain, and the weeds around the shelter need to be cleared.
And Ye Mingxuan, on his side, was completely speechless for this persistent little guy, and finally tore it open and threw it out, and within a few seconds, he ran over and bit his shoes.
"Big brother, let me go, please, I just accidentally stepped on it, it's been an afternoon!"
Fortunately, Brother Pingtou has no obvious intention to attack, just bites the shoe that stepped on it, and it really lives up to its reputation, Brother Pingtou who will take revenge.
When Ye Mingxuan was helpless, Brother Pingtou actually stopped by himself, staring at the grass vigilantly, and after a while, he heard Suosuo's voice coming, and when he raised his eyes, a black-brown poisonous snake with a thick body of about one meter, a pair of emotionless vertical eyes stared coldly at Ye Mingxuan and the staff.
"The drum-bellied viper, the most common venomous snake in Africa, kills dozens or hundreds of people every year. ”
The local guide, who was well-informed, recognized the species of snakes at a glance, and advised everyone to step back and let the flathead go to deal with the poisonous snakes.
However, as soon as Ye Mingxuan moved his footsteps, Brother Pingtou turned back vigilantly, and the look in his eyes probably meant: Leave it for the master, and then settle the account with you after the master finishes eating the spicy noodles.
The drum-bellied viper is extremely aggressive, presumably from the threat of natural predators, and the drum-bellied viper holds its head high and quickly swallows the information carried by the ions in the air.
Brother Pingtou was afraid of whom, just when he was hungry, the spicy strips took the initiative to deliver them to the door, the more good things the better, the more the better, tentatively approached the spicy strips, stretched out his paws, and was ready for a full meal.
The head of the snake shot out, and venom spurted out from the venom sac, and the flat-headed brother was not slow at all, and he fought and retreated.
Behind Brother Pingtou is Ye Mingxuan, Brother Pingtou has retreated, Ye Mingxuan was also forced to retreat, it is still a little safer to stay away from the two of them, the venom of the poisonous snake can be sprayed two or three meters away, Brother Pingtou is not afraid of him Ye Mingxuan is afraid, no matter how strong he is, he is a normal human being, and he will be poisoned.
The drum-bellied viper seems to know that he is not defeated by Brother Flathead, so he reflexively escapes with a shot, and Brother Pingtou looks at it, where is it, and the spicy strips to the mouth can still make you run?
The attacked viper can only turn back and counterattack, the target of the viper's attack is very clear, and the eyes and nose of the flat-headed brother are vulnerable, and only by attacking these two targets, it has a chance to win.
A snap of the head of the viper, Brother Pingtou was merciless, holding down the viper and biting fiercely, the viper contracted its body and wrapped around Brother Pingtou, but the struggle was in vain, Brother Pingtou was not affected, the body of the viper gradually weakened, Brother Pingtou grabbed the head of the snake and chewed with a big mouthful, until the viper died completely, Brother Pingtou took the corpse of the viper and lay down at Ye Mingxuan's feet and began to enjoy its delicious meal.
Don't look at the food in its paws, just in terms of appearance, it seems to be quite cute, Ye Mingxuan boldly reached out and touched Brother Pingtou's hair, and Brother Pingtou, who was eating, suddenly froze, this huge prey dared to provoke it?
"Tsk~ not big, not small, not small. ”
Ye Mingxuan didn't dare to act rashly, this guy's destructive power is not covered, and when it is full, it will be in a state of suspended animation for a while, and then he can take the opportunity to leave.
The sky gradually darkened, and several times he took the opportunity to slip away was threatened by the little guy, and if the guy didn't lie down before dark, he could only kill it.
Fortunately, before the sun set, the side effects of Pingtou eating poisonous snakes appeared, and he walked two steps and fell asleep.
After fiddling twice and there was no response, Ye Mingxuan greeted and hurriedly slipped away, the light in the evening was much darker, and every place in the African jungle looked similar, and Ye Mingxuan had a good memory, otherwise he would have to call the security personnel for help.
After arriving at the camp, everyone was in a very low mood, looking at Ye Mingxuan who returned empty-handed, the disappointment that disappeared in a flash, in this cold and hungry night, the only thing that could give everyone a little comfort was the burning fire in front of him.
"It's hard work, drink some water and rest. ”
As a big brother, he couldn't watch this awkward atmosphere continue and invited Ye Mingxuan to sit beside him.
"Brother, have you found the Campa Flying Chicken?"
Peng Peng swallowed his saliva, Peng Peng, who had not eaten a drop of rice for a day, now hoped that there would be a steaming dumpling.
Ye Mingxuan shook his head, took the mineral water handed by Zhang Zifeng, and held it in his hand with great self-blame.
"It's okay, we're fat and fat, and we should lose weight!"
After an afternoon of adjustments, Xiao Yueyue finally understood that this show is indeed real, and if he doesn't give food, he won't give it.
"Brother, I'm not hungry yet!"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, her stomach purred and screamed, it didn't matter what she screamed, everyone's stomachs were like a chorus, one after another, which suddenly diluted the depressed mood.
"Don't think about it, look at Chichi, it's not that you haven't found anything, relax! Believe me, the difficulties are only temporary!"
Wu Jing patted Ye Mingxuan on the shoulder, he understood that Ye Mingxuan must be very self-blaming now, if he was the same, the entrusted task turned out to be empty-handed, Ye Mingxuan was the strongest one in the team, there must be a blow, but even if he blamed him, what could he do?
The longer Ye Mingxuan grew, the more unpleasant it became, he decided to take a look around, it was impossible for the program team to do such a desperate job, he couldn't see any hope at all, he just thought of it, got up and walked into the dark.
"Brother, where are you going?"
Zhang Zifeng hurriedly got up to keep up, she was hungry for a day, which made her very insecure, and she could only feel better by following Ye Mingxuan.
"Uh... I'm going to the toilet!"
With a flashlight, Ye Mingxuan searched around the camp, changing his thinking, since there are no flying chickens to eat, plants can also be!
The surrounding plants are all monotonous, withered grass, palms, thorns and acacia trees, and more plants Ye Mingxuan does not recognize.
Suddenly I thought of the several plants that the Khamba tribe had eaten, there was a kind of fungus that I still remembered, the small ones were like goose eggs, milky white, the big ones were like umbrella covers, yellow and white, all of which were edible, and there was also a red mushroom that was said to be extremely precious, and it was also the only edible mushroom that Ye Mingxuan had ever seen with such a bright color.
"Peng Peng, Brother Jing, grab a flashlight and bring an empty backpack with me. ”
Ye Mingxuan called Peng Peng and Wu Jing, and Zhang Zifeng also followed.
"Do you want to go out? It's too dangerous at night, it's okay to be hungry all night!"
"Brother Jing, do you remember the big mushrooms we ate in the Kamba tribe? They can find them, and there must be one near here. ”
After Ye Mingxuan finished speaking, everyone regained hope, the straight-line distance between here and the Kamba tribe is not far, and I believe that there will definitely be a receipt.
"Look around the camp, don't go far, no one is allowed to stay more than thirty meters!"
Necessary reminders are still needed, and safety is the most important.
"Brother, look at it, is this it?"
Zhang Zifeng was still very careful, never touching it with his hands until he confirmed that it was edible, and walked to the stump of a dead tree with Ye Mingxuan's arm, pointing to a white mushroom the size of a bowl on the exposed root.
Ye Mingxuan didn't know either, and the one he saw in the Kanba Hunter was either smaller than this one or very huge, but looking at the shape, it was quite similar.
Ye Mingxuan tried to pick it directly with his hands, but no one stopped him, and he determined three points at the moment, until he put it in his backpack, no one reminded him if there was any poison, this was near the camp, everyone was watching, what if the poisonous director could watch Ye Mingxuan go to pick it?
"I don't know if I can eat it, so I put it in my bag, brother, are you hungry?"
"Go, what do you know, if this thing is poisonous, where do you think Director Wang can sit and eat instant noodles with peace of mind?"
Ye Mingxuan habitually patted Zhang Zifeng's head, but as soon as he raised his hand, thinking of Zhang's mother's previous words, he sighed slightly, lowered his head and continued to look for mushrooms.
