"Don't bluff me, it's a big deal, and it's not scared." Louis was fearless.

Hugh couldn't help but smile when he saw the two fighting each other.

The group continued to walk deeper into the jungle, and the path became more and more difficult: the dense broad-leaved forest blocked the sun, and the road was covered with thorns and twisted rattans, which occasionally blocked everyone's progress, and some of the thorns had to be cut off with daggers.

Unknown insects fluttering in the woods, buzzing is really annoying, and you have to beware of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects that may appear in the dark, last night after floating in the sea all night, everyone almost did not fall asleep, just dizzy and confused for a while, and now walking slowly in this deflating jungle area, fatigue once again hit them.

But the biggest threat they are facing now is neither poisonous insects and beasts, nor food and fatigue, but the gradual loss of water in the body, if you can't find a usable water source before dark, the night will become very difficult, as long as the human body loses 5% of the water, it will cause great damage to the body, after the loss of water exceeds this warning line, the body temperature and heartbeat will rise significantly, muscle spasms and shock, if not treated in time, eventually the body's functions will stop functioning and die, The members of the Secret Service Team knew this all too well.

With a firm belief in finding the water source, the special agent team resolutely collapsed towards the road ahead, and unconsciously crossed the entire island to the beach at the other end, and the endless sea resurfaced in front of them, and everyone couldn't help but feel depressed.

"Look, the beach over there looks like a lifeboat for us when we hit a storm at sea." Luis pointed to the boat that had been washed up on the beach by the waves not far away.

"Let's go over and take a look, maybe there are survivors who have escaped this catastrophe, as well as supplies that can be used." Hearing Hugh's analysis, everyone excitedly ran in the direction of the lifeboat.

I saw that the lifeboat was turned upside down by the waves, the paint of the hull had peeled off, and the hull had multiple scratches, but fortunately, the two oars were still fixed to the metal holes on the left and right sides of the hull, and the hull was still strong and usable, and there were no cracks or holes. Unfortunately, the ship was empty and empty, and after searching the sandy beach in front of them and the shallow water not far away, no survivors were found.

"Seeing that there is nothing that can come in handy, why don't you leave this lifeboat here and continue on the road to collect water." Hugh sighed.

"Our route just now was from south to north, and we didn't find any water sources along the way, so why don't we try to adjust our route and run through the island from east to west, maybe we can make an unexpected discovery?" Katyusha cheered everyone up.

"That's all it can be." Hugh looked at his teammates in front of him, they were already sweating, tired and thirsty, and the moisture was leaving their bodies at an accelerated pace under the scorching sun.

They turned back again, adjusted their course, and finally found a puddle in the jungle, in the northwest corner of the island, which was close to dryness, on which several mudskippers were bouncing tirelessly.

"Water is so scarce on the island, I don't know how the animals survived." Olivia was confused.

"The fact that this puddle is supposed to have been formed by rainfall and is about to dry up means that the dry weather has been going on for some time, and if nothing else, according to the tropical maritime climate here, there will be a large rainstorm in a few days. The problem is, I don't know if we can wait until that day. Katyusha analyzed.

"When animals are thirsty, they can eat grass roots and plant stems to rehydrate, but our digestive system has a hard time adapting to it." Hugh sighed.

"This little bit of water can last until tomorrow morning at most. You can drink a little first, then bring a little more, and leave what you can't take here, and drink it when you're thirsty. Hugh turned on his watch, brought up the hologram map, and marked the location on the map. Then remove the empty canning box and prepare it for water.

"Wait, can you open up the hologram again, adjust the zoom, and see if there are any other islands around here?" If the water here doesn't satisfy us, somewhere else is a good place to go. The lifeboat that was just found comes in handy. Olivia had a flash of inspiration and reminded everyone.

"That's a good backup." Louis affirmed.

Hugh turned on his watch again, called up the holographic topographic image, and constantly reduced the proportion of the landing, as if there was a providence in the dark, an island three times the size of the current island, appeared ten nautical miles in the north, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved.

Hugh switched the focus of the hologram to the large island, zooming in on its proportions, and there was a noticeable topographic depression directly in the center of the island: "There are only two possibilities for such a depression, either a natural lake or a crater." Are you interested in checking it out? ”

"Let's talk about it after tonight! I'm so tired that I can't open my eyes, so I have to get a good night's sleep and replenish my strength after I've eaten and drunk enough on this island. Louis stretched, and everyone nodded in unison.

"In that case, let's replenish the water at this puddle, then go back to where we just landed, take out the cans, set up camp for the night, and then head here tomorrow to the nearby island." Hugh marked the location of the lifeboat he had just encountered on the hologram map, and then took a splash from the puddle and sent it to his mouth, watering his already smoking throat. Everyone also bent down to take advantage of the stagnant water to relieve their urgent needs.

When everyone returned to the coconut tree where the canned backpack was buried, a large pit had appeared in the ground, and the backpack buried in it was gone.

"I really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and the stealing came to our heads." Louis was furious.

"Who else is here?" Katyusha looked around suspiciously, trying to find clues about the thieves.

The sound of "clanging" came from the bushes behind the beach. The crowd followed the sound and entered the clearing where the monkeys had just broken through the coconuts. I saw that on the trees around me, the monkeys of all sizes were almost a can in their hands, imitating the action when they opened the can just now, tearing the upper tab, and eating the food in the can with relish, a monkey took out the last box of cans from the backpack and held it in his hand, and threw the backpack down from the tree.
