126 Heavy rain

Just as Qi Mi and James were discussing the next step of the game process of "Truth or Dare", a rainforest-like pouring rain had fallen towards the jungle where Jiang Jinghai was hiding with a thunderous momentum, waking Jiang Jinghai up from his dreamless slumber.

She hadn't seen such rain for a long time, even if the jungle branches and foliage were so lush that they could cover the sky and the sun, it couldn't stop the pouring rain from penetrating all the branches and leaves, watering Jiang Jinghai hiding under the dense leaves, drawing rivers in the forest, and turning the rivers into lakes, and even the sea of ripples connecting the ocean.

In this dense rain that soaked almost every breath of air, Jiang Jinghai had nowhere to hide, and he didn't want to dodge. Thanks to the torrential rain, she drank her first sip of fresh water since she went to the island. The rain with the fragrance of green leaves, sweet and sweet, made Jiang Jinghai, who had choked a lot of seawater the night before, exhausted and languishing, rejuvenate again. After opening his mouth and drinking a few mouthfuls of rainwater, Jiang Jinghai simply took off the scarred nanomaterial close-fitting combat suit for the armor system, climbed to the sparse place of branches and leaves, and completely bathed himself in this pure natural shower.

The rain seemed to be very cooperative with Jiang Jinghai, and it was poured out in a large enough flow until she finished bathing and washed her clothes briefly, that it suddenly weakened and quickly stopped.

However, this heavy rain, which did not end until sunset and dusk, washed everything away, also brought bad things. While cleaning the forest, it also washed away Jiang Jinghai's hope of lighting a fire to keep warm and enjoy a hot meal, although Jiang Jinghai, who was shocked, was not ready to expose himself by lighting a fire before figuring out the situation on the island.

So, in the face of the jungle that had once again become a vast ocean, Jiang Jinghai shook off the nano clothes that did not absorb water or stain, and then, after putting it on, he returned to the tree nest and fell asleep.

The night passed quickly, the sun soon rose again, and a small bird that flew down on a branch not far away woke Jiang Jinghai from a dream that he couldn't remember the contents of.

Soaked in fragrant air, filtered by the leaves, the sun becomes warm. Such a peaceful and beautiful morning was too conflicting with the violent tsunami and the downpour the day before when Jiang Jinghai first met the island, which made Jiang Jinghai fall into a trance.

When Jiang Jinghai was still in a trance, a passing little monkey suddenly jumped over the branch above her head, shaking off some dew and wild fruits, so startled that Jiang Jinghai subconsciously raised his hand and made a fighting and defensive posture, almost causing himself to fall off the tree due to the unstable center of gravity.

After stabilizing his body and relieving himself, Jiang Jinghai began to look around the surrounding environment.

On this sunny day, the jungle washed by the heavy rain yesterday evening can no longer see the mess that has been submerged by the tsunami, but there is still some water accumulation caused by heavy rain on the forest ground, and some puddles even show signs of fish and shrimp churning.

After battling the tsunami, Jiang Jinghai, who had not eaten for a day and a night, was already empty in his stomach, his stomach was screaming, and he was hungry. Based on the movements of the monkeys and birds around her, she decided to go down to the ground to find some food to satisfy her hunger.

Jiang Jinghai's luck was good, and he didn't spend much effort in the forest, so he prepared a nutritious and high-energy breakfast for himself, including fish and shrimp, scallops, melons and fruits. The fly in the ointment was that none of the food was heated over fire.

However, when he didn't even know what kind of environment he was in, Jiang Jinghai, who was vigilant by nature, really couldn't be distracted and cared about whether the food needed to save his life was raw or cooked. So, after a hearty but cold breakfast, Jiang Jinghai immediately headed towards the beach and began to explore the forest that she had already planned in her heart.

As early as when he was still on the branches, Jiang Jinghai had roughly understood that he should be in the depths of the jungle closer to the beach than to the mountainous area in the center of the island by observing his surroundings.

Jiang Jinghai, whose consciousness has been fully recovered, has recalled that before entering the island, when he was injected with hypnotic drugs on the "Infiltration", he heard what game James wanted him to play with Chen Jia'an, and then thought that there were many e-sports equipment in the cabin, Jiang Jinghai was very worried about whether he had entered some kind of illusion. In her experience with Long Wei, it is possible that she has entered some kind of illusion under the influence of drugs and VR equipment, although she has not yet seen a fantasy so realistic that even an expert like her can quickly distinguish between the real and the fake.

In any case, it doesn't matter if you're really stuck on an island in the middle of the sea, or if you're in an illusion. In Jiang Jinghai's experience, it is never wise to rush into the heart of the island when the situation is unclear, and the beach near which she woke up is more likely to provide her with important information than the center of the island.

After stepping into the jungle, Jiang Jinghai walked as she quickly recalled the knowledge of desert island survival and the memory of the desert island survival training she participated in. That difficult training was more than 10 years ago, but that scene is still fresh in her memory.

That year, Jiang Jinghai, who was born in a military and police family, chose to join the army after graduating from graduate school. It was a decision that was very unpleasant for her family, who did not want their daughter to continue their career, even though one was an officer and the other was a police officer. They would prefer her to have a safer job, such as entering the government and becoming a civil servant.

Jiang Jinghai does have the necessary genes for an excellent soldier, she did not have an advantage compared to military cadets and national defense students, but she was exceptionally promoted after only one year of employment, and was favored by Long Wei's selection officer and became a candidate for Long Wei. Her experience of surviving on a desert island originated from the training of Longwei trainees that year.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jinghai tried his best to stop his sudden thoughts and forced himself to return his attention to jungle exploration. Because she understands that any memories of Long Wei may leak before she determines whether she is in a VR illusion.

In fact, there are many ways to distinguish whether you are in a fantasy world or not, and almost all VR worlds inevitably have various vulnerabilities. Poorly made VR has an obvious sense of animation, which can be recognized and distinguished by visual experience; Even though VR graphics are good enough to be realistic, they are often significantly different from the real world in terms of subtle senses such as air and sound.

That's why Jiang Jinghai decided to explore the jungle.

To VR the jungle world with a wide variety of animals and plants, it is difficult not to leave a loophole, as long as a light spot, insect chirp, flower fragrance, or a leaf shadow in the forest is abnormal, Jiang Jinghai, who has received strict training, may be able to recognize them keenly. And even if you're not in a fantasy place, it's safer to start exploring the island in the jungle than to expose yourself to a plain spot like a sandy wilderness or a hillside peak.
