On the beach, more than a dozen people sat cross-legged in a circle, their clothes had been dried by the sun and formed into tiny grains of salt attached to their clothes.

"Guys, our priority now is to find food and fresh water, and then set up a makeshift shelter before dark. Yang Ping said with a serious expression, "So I plan to divide the people into several groups, one group of people will stay on the beach to build houses, and the others will go to the island to look for food and water, what do you think?"

"Brother Yang, why did we build our residence on the beach, wouldn't it be more convenient to build it in the forest in front of us?" a man in a white shirt wondered. This person's name is Wang Feng, about 30 years old, nicknamed "Hyena", and he is known for his tenacious will and strong endurance in the wilderness.

Yang Ping shook his head decisively after hearing this, and explained: "It can't be built in the woods. On the one hand, we don't know the situation on this island yet, it is possible that there are any poisonous insects and beasts in it, and it will be dangerous for us to go in and sleep, and on the beach, although it will be more troublesome to build, but the danger factor will be reduced a lot. On the other hand, if we build our accommodation on an open beach, it will be easier for passing boats and planes to spot and send out distress signals. And I see that the beach edge here is not all sandy, and it is still suitable for building temporary shelter. ”

"Oh, I see. Brother Yang, you are experienced, and I am ashamed of myself, junior brother. Wang Feng said with a slightly red face.

"Haha, where, where, if I don't even understand this, then how can I lead you. Yang Ping smiled, "Okay, if there is no objection, then let's hurry up and act in groups, it will be difficult to do it when it gets dark." ”

Subsequently, the people on the beach assigned the task, five people led by Yang Ping stayed on the beach to build a shelter, and the remaining nine people were divided into three groups and headed for the island in different directions to find food and fresh water.

Qi Dong, Chen Hao and Shui Xin formed a group and went deep into the middle of the island.

"Hey, why are there larches here? Isn't this tropical?" said Shui Xin in surprise when the three of them crossed the beach and walked into the woods, and saw the trees up close.

"That's right, larch is a plant in the north, how can it appear here?" Jing Shui Xin said, Qi Dong also realized this strangeness.

"Hey, what's the matter, let's find water to drink first, I'm dying of thirst. Chen Hao sighed mournfully.

Qi Dong and Shui Xin glanced at each other with a wry smile, flattened their dry lips, and continued to walk deeper into the island.

About ten minutes later, the three of them walked out of the woods, but when they saw what was happening outside, they all stopped suddenly.

Not far in front of them, there stood a cliff dozens of feet high, completely blocking their way forward.

This cliff is very steep, almost 90 degrees vertical, and it can be said that it is difficult for people to climb it.

"This ...... This is so bad!" Seeing this scene, Chen Hao couldn't help but sigh, and then sat down on the ground.

Qi Dong and Shui Xin were also extremely disappointed, and the latter muttered to himself with a gloomy expression: "I originally thought that there was no way to be endless, but it seems that I was still too naïve. ”

"Let's take a closer look. Qi Dong said and walked towards the cliff, Shui Xin slowly followed, while Chen Hao simply lay on the ground and looked up at the sky.

The two walked to the cliff, touched the steep stone wall, and sighed helplessly.

"Hey, what is this?" Just as Qi Dong was disappointed, Shui Xin on the side suddenly screamed and squatted down and picked up a dark brown air-dried object.

After sniffing it before getting it to her nose, Shui Xin immediately frowned and smiled bitterly: "It's feces." ”

"Dung, this means there are animals nearby!" Qi Dong said in surprise, "Can you tell what kind of animal dung this is?"

Shui Xin shook her head and said, "I can't see it, but looking at the shape and size of the feces, it should be left by mammals." ”

"Haha, so our food has fallen!" Qi Dong said with a smile.

"Maybe, but we'll have to make a couple of traps first. Shui Xin said as she walked towards the woods.

After about an hour, Shui Xin relied on branches and vines to make a few simple balanced trigger traps, which were placed in the woods and several locations on the edge of the cliff.

During the whole process, Qi Dong and Chen Hao watched from the sidelines, sometimes doing some simple work under the guidance of Shui Xin.

"Wow, young lady, your ability is so strong, how can we be embarrassed by men who don't know anything!" Chen Hao said with a look of adoration.

"It's just a few simple traps, and it's a must for survival in the wild. Shui Xin said lightly, "As for whether we can catch prey, it depends on our luck." ”

After that, the three of them had no choice but to return to the beach.

By the time they got back to the beach, the rest of the people had already returned, waiting for them around the two wooden houses that had been built, one large and one small.

Seeing Qi Dong and them returning, those people immediately stood up and asked, "Have you found food and water?!"

"Nope. Qi Dong spread his hands and replied helplessly, "After we passed through the woods, the road ahead was blocked by a very high and steep cliff, and we couldn't cross it at all. ”

"Hey, we're the same, that damn cliff, why do you have to stand there!"

"This is our fate, we are all destined to die here. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not the first time we've encountered a predicament, and it's not time to despair yet!"

"Then what do you say, I'm dying of thirst, and if I can't do it, I'm going to drink seawater!"

......

After listening to the complaints of the other two groups, Qi Dong and the others realized that the cliff was not just blocking their path, but blocking all the roads leading to the depths of the island.

"Don't despair, let's think about it. Yang Ping opened his mouth to comfort, but everyone could see that under his calm appearance, there was a loss and panic that could not be concealed.

"Chief, we are all dying of hunger and thirst, how can we think of any way to do it!" said a lean young man, his voice hoarse from hunger.

The others also complained in extreme disappointment.

"Brother Yang, you are our backbone, don't you have any way?"

"Chief, you are our leader, you said you would lead us to survive, but now we are dying of thirst!"

"What's the use of sitting on the beach like this, I don't care, I'm going to go inside and find water to drink!"

"Brother Yang, I'm really sorry, I can't sit still anymore, I'm going to find something to eat by myself. ”

......

Someone stood up and walked towards the island, one, two......

After a while, there were only ten people left on the beach.
