【Chapter 179】Sudden flames
On Earth, animals are also the best guides in finding water. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Especially in summer, where mosquitoes gather and fly in the shape of a cylinder, there must be water; There is also water where frogs, large ants, and snails live; Birds, which feed on seeds and cereals, also need to drink water. In addition, the routes that swallows fly and the places where they nest in the mud are places where there are water sources and high water tables. If a quail can be spotted in the evening, it will fly towards the water, and in the early morning, it will fly on its back.
But that's just knowledge on Earth! In the forest where Wang Xiaotie is located, there are a lot of small animals, especially birds, but Wang Xiaotie doesn't even know any of those birds. Have you ever seen a bird with a pig's head open? Wang Xiaotie had seen them, and had already eaten them in his stomach.
When Crove came to Wang Xiaotie with such two birds, Wang Xiaotie was really startled! If he wasn't really hungry, Wang Xiaotie would never have eaten this kind of monster. But then again, isn't pork also edible? looks so stumbling, the probability of being poisonous is definitely not high! After all, this ugly face alone can scare away most enemies!
Wang Xiaotie took off his backpack and took out a large plastic sheet from it, which was estimated to be a moisture-proof supply for the tributes. However, Wang Xiaotie now needs to use it to get a little water, so that he and Crof will not die of dehydration.
The method used by Wang Xiaotie is a very simple method. However, this requires patient waiting, but Wang Xiaotie's current situation will not leave him too much time.
Taking advantage of the abundant sunshine, Wang Xiaotie covered the large plastic on a dense leaf branch, and then tied the plastic tightly with a rope on his backpack, and the binding place was slightly close to ensure that the water obtained would not flow away from this place.
There is a lot of water in the leaves of plants, and there are many stomata on the leaves, and the water in the leaves evaporates from the stomata to water vapor. The water vapor is liquefied into water when the plastic bag is cold. When you have more water, you can take it off and drink.
But this is only a stopgap measure, and it is better not to get too much hope up, because you won't get too much water this way! It can only be an emergency!
If you own a plastic sheet, you can easily get water in the arid desert.
This method is called solar distillation, and it only needs to dig a pit in a damp place, put a container of water in the pit, and if possible, it is better to put more plants with leaves in it. Then spread the plastic sheeting, seal it tightly with soil work or sand, and finally find a small stone and press it on top of the plastic sheeting, so that the depression is directly facing the mouth of the container.
The water vapor meets the plastic sheeting, condenses into water droplets, and then flows down the plastic into the container. Of course, this is the same principle as Wang Xiaotie's use of leaves to get water, you need to wait for a long time, or even the whole night, but the water you get may only be a mouthful.
For Wang Xiaotie now, a sip of water is enough to save his life! If it weren't for the fear of being caught up by the enemy behind, Wang Xiaotie would have used this method to get water, in order to avoid their roundup, Wang Xiaotie and Crove almost never stopped, day or night.
That night, Wang Xiaotie and Crove didn't continue to walk, they were waiting for the fresh water collected by the plastic sheet on the tree. Because his body fell into a state of dehydration, Wang Xiaotie did not eat another bite, because water is also needed to digest food.
The sound of birds in the early morning made Wang Xiaotie open his eyes. Fortunately, he survived the night unharmed, not dying of thirst or being killed by the enemy.
Wang Xiaotie felt that maybe the other tributes were similar to his own experience, and they might have given up chasing themselves a long time ago to find a water source! Wang Xiaotie can't be sure about the tribute of this world, but the survivors from the same world as him, they should understand that only by finding water can they win the final victory!
Carefully removed the plastic sheeting, and luckily, at least 15 litres of water had accumulated in it, probably due to the humidity of the forest.
After eating water with Crove, Wang Xiaotie once again embarked on the road to find a water source.
Until night fell again, Wang Xiaotie still found nothing. This can be regarded as a relatively big blow to Wang Xiaotie, and he can't support it anymore now. His calves trembled, and his heart pounded rapidly. The symptoms of dehydration returned, the brain was dizzy, and I staggered to walk, and sometimes I even forgot what I was going to do next.
Although Crove is not as serious as Wang Xiaotie, her situation is not much better.
Wang Xiaotie sat down on the ground, unloaded the backpack with difficulty, and then pointed to the backpack at Crof, and then fell asleep.
Croft understood what Wang Xiaotie meant, that is, to let her use the plastic sheet to get water like last night.
She glanced at Wang Xiaotie, who had fallen asleep, and thought that this thin guy was probably going to die. After all, there are not a few tributes who die of dehydration every year, and the irony is that she is in the same situation as this guy.
Previously, Crof had never expressed concern about not being able to get food or water. She thinks that as long as she can show her strength in the game, then those sponsors will continue to send these things to her.
After all, those gamblers like to put their chips on players like themselves. But until now, Crove hasn't seen a single sponsorship capsule, which means that he has lost interest in letting them continue to invest.
The national anthem sounded again, and the sudden sound woke up the sleeping Wang Xiaotie.
Wang Xiaotie reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at the light curtain in mid-air seriously, because there was a cannon sound today, and Wang Xiaotie had to know who was dead.
An unfamiliar avatar appeared on the light curtain, Wang Xiaotie sighed, and he was not a survivor. What worries him most now is that the survivors are united, except for themselves. The reason is very simple, because he is too close to the professional tribute of the second district.
Just when Wang Xiaotie was about to continue to close his eyes and rest, he suddenly found a huge fire on the left, accompanied by a loud bang!
Wang Xiaotie just glanced at it and understood that it was not a campfire where the "tribute" was out of control, nor was it an accidental fire. It's the kind of fire that can be manipulated in the movie.
Did the heroine reach the border zone again and trigger the mechanism set up by the organizers of the competition?
Wang Xiaotie stood up, carefully observed the situation over there, and hesitated whether he wanted to go over and take a look.
