Chapter 211: Water
In the early morning, when the sky was still bright, Luo Yuan carried a large basin and walked towards the stream.
The basin is made of iron, about half a meter in diameter, completely armored with a transport plane, cut, although it has been thinned as much as possible, but it still weighs more than a dozen pounds, and can almost be used as a shield.
It's still early in the morning, and the temperature is already quite high, the temperature is more than 30 degrees, but compared to noon, this is undoubtedly the coolest time.
The thunderstorm has disappeared for five days, and the forest, which had been silent, is alive again, and there are already traces of mutated creatures and insect chirping in the jungle from time to time, which is much more noisy than the previous days.
Luo Yuan walked unhurriedly, his face was heavy, his brows were tightly locked, and his right hand held the horse chopping knife from time to time to chop the branches that extended on both sides of the path, these branches were green and delicate, and they were slightly curled, obviously just grown last night.
The soft ground covered with layers of dead leaves was slightly moist, the result of the dew of the night, and when the surface layer was removed, it was completely dry and dry leaves, and powdered soil.
It hasn't rained for more than ten days.
This is completely normal in the western region, but in this heat, it is enough to be fatal.
On the contrary, these plants are growing more and more vigorously, perhaps because their roots are deep in the earth, so they have no effect at all, but those mutated creatures, I'm afraid it is not very good. In the past few days, with the high temperature, a large amount of water steaming, the water level of the stream is decreasing day by day, from the situation I saw yesterday, the water is only in this two days, if the weather is still so good in the past two days.
But today, it's obviously another sunny day.
With a heavy heart, it didn't take long for Luo Yuan to walk to the stream, but the situation he saw in front of him was even harsher than he expected.
I haven't seen it for a day, the stream here is about to bottom, yesterday there was more than a foot deep, and now there is only a shallow layer left, about a dozen centimeters, and the stream is full of dead fish, dead shrimp, most of these fish have died in less than a day or two, but the high temperature has made these dead fish more corrupt.
In a short period of time, these fish have been covered with maggots, and some of the dead fish have been bitten by nearby mutant beasts, dyeing the stream water into ** brown, plus maggots and mutated mosquitoes and flies everywhere and a strong stench in the air, people can't help but turn around and flee.
However, these only made Luo Yuan frown, and his face was a little gloomy.
The terrifying momentum, as soon as it was collected and released, countless fist-sized mutant mosquitoes and flies fell in a row, and soon spread a layer on the ground.
Then, Luo Yuan walked along the upper reaches of the stream, trying to find a slightly cleaner water source.
This creek is the only source of water nearby, and the mutant creatures are frequently active, and along the way, many mutant creatures who are drinking water by the stream are all over the place, and they quickly flee from this place. Luo Yuan, who had a gloomy face, exuded a terrifying aura all over his body, like a terrifying beast that chose people to devour, and before he got close, the mutated creatures began to flee quickly.
Of course, there are also unruly grinning teeth, but then they become dead souls under the knife, and they are picked up by Luo Yuan and carried on their backs.
After walking for about half an hour, just when he lost his patience, Luo Yuan finally found a shallow pool.
The stream here has been completely cut off, leaving only this slightly deeper pit and some stagnant water, but it is only more than a meter deep, and the water quality is very turbid, like a mud pond, but at this time, it is no longer a luxury, at least much better than rotten and foul-smelling sewage.
Luo Yuan took the basin, filled it with a basin, and hurriedly left the place. With today's lack of water, it won't be long before this place becomes a place for animals to gather for drinking water, and although he is strong, he is not confident that he can roam this primeval forest.
The degree of return was much faster, and the basin full of water, under his high and low running, was as flat as the ground, and very little water could be spilled.
In just ten minutes, Luo Yuan returned to the camp.
Now the camp has changed greatly, in order to avoid something similar to the last time people were killed, in the past few days, the woods around the transport plane about 30 meters have been cut down by everyone, the weeds have been cleared one by one, and even the soft ground has been tightly compacted by a few people pushing the heavy wooden stakes.
But even so, the next morning, you can always see a green shoot growing back out of the soil.
At this time, everyone was grasping the rare coolness of the morning and practicing knife skills hard. Many men were shirtless, covered in greasy sweat, tirelessly practicing over and over again, with the slightest whistling sound of cutting through the air every time the blade slashed through the air.
These days, Luo Yuan has taught some basic knife skills and related muscle skills one by one like cramming, and then he can only rely on personal repeated practice to form muscle memory and turn it into instinct, in fact, under the suffocating pressure, these people are far harder than Luo Yuan imagined, as long as they have free time, they start to practice at high intensity.
Compared with ten days ago, these people have made some progress, at least not as miserable as before.
And maybe it's because of the right force, many people's body shape has changed, and the original hard knotted muscles began to become soft and faded, replaced by lines like a network, from the image point of view, everyone has lost a lot of weight, but the explosive power and degree have become stronger.
However, Luo Yuan is most optimistic about the two children, Deng and Zhong Chuqiang, perhaps because of the strong sense of insecurity, these two people are simply deadly when they practice, even if they are eating and sleeping, they also gesture from time to time to experience the movement of muscles. Although they are still far from being able to compare with Huo Dong, Wang Xiaguang and others, with this kind of fanatical energy and pure thinking, they may not be able to practice swords in the future, and even comprehend the momentum field.
Seeing Luo Yuan coming back, Huang Jiahui put down the knife, wiped her sweat, took Luo Yuan's basin, and when she saw the water in the basin, her body trembled slightly, and she said urgently: "Is there no water there?" ”
"Maybe it's just a day or two, and the water is faster over there." Luo Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not possible to rely on the stream, I'll go to the forest in the afternoon to see if I can find a new water source." ”
The two of them did not deliberately keep their voices down.
When many people heard this, they put down their knives and walked over worriedly, and when they saw the basin of muddy water, their faces changed immediately.
No water is a fatal problem, especially in this kind of weather, everyone has to drink a lot of water every day, if the water is cut off, I am afraid that it will not be able to last even a day, even if it is a physique like Luo Yuan, I am afraid it will not be much better.
"Even if you can't find a new water source, don't worry" Luo Yuan thought for a while and comforted: "Many plants contain a lot of water, as long as you look carefully, you will definitely be able to find it." ”
"If only I could find the sap that I drank before." Huo Dong said.
Master Wang subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and the wonderful taste is still fresh in his memory.
"It takes luck, and I think we might as well dig a well." Lian Chang Xia said with some doubts.
"Company commander, I'm afraid not, this is the western region, there is a shortage of water, many wells need to reach tens of meters, or even more than 100 meters, to produce water, not to mention that this is a mountainside, the terrain is higher, and the bottom is full of rocks, unless you are lucky enough to touch an underground river, otherwise you can't get water out of the water without hitting a hundred meters," a soldier said.
"Why don't we collect dew, I remember there was a book about Amazon Crusoe, and it said," Cao Lin said.
"It's Robinson Crusoe," Lin Xiaoji interjected.
Cao Lin's face was slightly red, she ignored him, and then said: "I am now, the transpiration in the forest is very intense, and the dew is very large every morning, we can use leaves to collect dew."
Luo Yuan's eyes lit up: "I think it's feasible, as long as the collection range is large, we can get enough water, and after breakfast, everyone will go to the forest to collect leaves." ”
"We're going too?" Zhao Yali said subconsciously.
"Everyone is going this time, these days, everyone is working hard to practice the sword technique, it's time to put it to the test, after all, we have to leave here eventually, and I can't protect you every time." Luo Yuan said lightly.
Before the words fell, the atmosphere couldn't help but be tense, and everyone suddenly looked different
