Chapter 4: Stay Alive
Hunger and thirst do not allow Mo Ran to continue to stay where he is and think about life, there is no difference between staying here all the time and waiting for death, if others don't move forward, it can be said that they are eating and waiting for death, he doesn't even have anything to eat.

Limping along the coastline with a wooden stick, the scenery along the way is indeed pleasant, the vast sea and the lush island forests complement each other, the wide view makes people feel heroic, and the mood is a lot better, if there is still an existential crisis, Mo Ran hopes to be able to move a chair here and lie down to enjoy the quiet sunbathing.
It's really beautiful scenery at this time.
If it is possible in the future, build a small courtyard here, watch the tide rise and fall every day, watch the clouds roll up, and if you have nothing to do, you can swim in the water twice, that day is like a fairy.
But now it's better to solve the hidden danger of survival first.
If he can't find a drinkable water source as soon as possible, whether he can survive until tomorrow is another matter, let alone the future.
In search of water, he must find relatively low-lying areas, but he did not dare to rush into the dangerous jungle, so he could only use the most stupid methods to find an estuary along the coastline.
The reason why we believe so strongly that there must be a fresh water source on this island is because there are large beasts here, and although animals do not need to consume as much fresh water as humans to survive, so many animals must need an abundant and stable water source if they want to survive.
So at this time, Mo Ran is not worried about the lack of fresh water, what he is afraid of is that this fresh water source does not flow out, but only exists on the island, so he must go deep into the island to search little by little, not to mention the fact that the danger index has also increased geometrically, and it is logical for him to die in his current state.
Time passed minute by minute, although the body's demand response almost made him fall to the ground and twitch and foam at the mouth, but now he must not rest, he is now just relying on a will to survive to move forward, once he stops to rest, he may never have a chance to stand up again.
Physical and mental exhaustion, extreme lack of water, and unbearable soreness in the body tormented this little boy all the time, and at this time he was really about to reach his limit.
In the past, when I was drifting on the sea, there were fruits to replenish water and sugar, but now I can't drink seawater, if you want to say that there is nothing lacking here, the most important thing is seawater, and it is enough, but after drinking it, he will be fast.
Everything around him seemed to be gradually withdrawing from his own world, the sound became distant, and even everything in front of him began to be a little blurred, Mo Ran knew that he was in some danger now, if he couldn't find drinking water as soon as possible, the life he had easily snatched back from the merciless sea would have to be returned on this small island full of life.
He is unwilling, he has survived so many exciting scenes, but he wants to die so aggrieved?
But even if he was unwilling, he couldn't let his current physical state have the capital to challenge the limit, and he didn't hold on for long, and he couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the sand.
Fortunately, it was soft and delicate sand, otherwise it would have been a bloody head.
Mo Ran's half face plunged into the sand, staring at a pair of sad and weak eyes, looking aimlessly at the vibrant trees in front of him, feeling in his heart how he was so unlucky, what bad things had happened to him, but he knew the solution, but his body couldn't support it.
Rolling his eyes, he looked at the bright sun hanging high in the sky, and was angry for no reason, why is the weather so good? Where did all the storm last night go? At this time, when it rains heavily, he has hope of surviving.
Suddenly, a spiritual light flashed through Mo Ran's originally somewhat vague mind, yes, rain!
It rained so hard last night, and there is definitely still a remnant of it, and although it is impossible to find it on the beach, there must still be a remnant in the woods, and even if the sun is shining now, there will definitely be a little bit of the leaves that fall on the ground.
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel the desire to live again.
I struggled and swayed for a long time but couldn't do it, so I didn't force it, and I hurried over to see if there was any residual rain.
Crawling, crawling, crawling, suddenly leaving a trace of a humanoid turtle on the soft sand.
As he got closer, Mo Ran couldn't help but be a little happy, only to see a faint water stain on a withered leaf, it seems that the rain traces from last night have not been completely dispersed, which proves that there should still be a small amount of rain on the other leaves.
Even a little bit is enough, so many leaves together here are enough to get yourself through the current situation.
It's not too late to look for water when your strength has recovered.
Sure enough, after crawling forward for a short distance, I saw a large wave of rain lying quietly on a big leaf.
Ignoring the gradually muddy rainwater, he drank wildly, and almost took the muddy mud at the bottom of the water into his mouth, and then Mo Ran lay on his back on the ground with great comfort.
I have never experienced that unspeakable dying thirst, and I will never be able to understand the preciousness of water.
After a person who is dehydrated has tasted the refreshing water, the instinctive reaction of the body often makes him more desperate to need more water.
Take a break and continue looking for the rest of the rain.
Mo Ran, who had made up his mind to drink a full drink at one time, did not stop, and moved forward again and again, until he drank all the rain around him before he sat contentedly under the big tree.
Even if he doesn't drink it now, the rain will evaporate by itself in a short time, and instead of beating his chest and regretting it later, it is better to satisfy himself now.
Now is not the time to save money, and then you have to find a place to live and find a fixed water source, and you must recharge your energy to keep your body in a better state as much as possible.
By the time he recovered, it was already past noon, and the temperature at this time was the highest of the day.
His physical condition is much better now, and his physical pain has decreased a lot, which also gives him the confidence to continue fighting.
The body is the capital of the revolution, and now he finally deeply understands the profound meaning of this sentence, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!
The island is surprisingly large, and I still haven't made it to the back of the island after walking around for most of the day.
However, on the way, Mo Ran found something that could be eaten, although it was not as good as the rich food, but at the moment, he was so depressed, as long as he could eat, he didn't care what he did.
Unceremoniously picked a few wild fruits, the visual inspection should not be poisonous, can no longer bear the desire in the heart, eat a lot, the fruit is also delicious, growing here, the sun and moisture are abundant, naturally juicy and delicious.
Mo Ran found a cave that could be used as a temporary residence, it was not very deep, but it was enough for him to nest in this small body, the entrance to the cave was small, and the space in the cave was also very small, about two square meters, but it was undoubtedly a very good choice as a temporary shelter.
But the only pity is that the water source has not landed, I don't know why, after walking for so long, I didn't find the slightest trace of fresh water outflow, even if there are some ravines on the ground, it is also formed because of the long-term heavy rain, not the so-called riverbed.
This made Mo Ran a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the formation of a certain scale of fresh water, under long-term accumulation, must not be like a dead pool and never flow out, because then it is destined that this fresh water will not have a living head, that is, it will be formed by long-term rainwater accumulation. The water is dead, and long-term precipitation will definitely stink and breed poison, and it is also doomed to be undrinkable, so how did so many beasts on the island survive?
It can be seen that there must be a source of living water on the island, regardless of the size, it must be able to ensure the normal needs of the creatures on the island, so as to maintain a whole biological chain continuously, otherwise the creatures on the island are estimated to have died out long ago, how can there be such a terrifying scene today.
As long as there is a living water source, there will be a flow of water outflow, so there is no need to worry about not finding it, but I haven't found it yet.
Seeing that the sun was setting in the west and it was about to get dark, Mo Ran, who had prepared a large number of strategic reserves, sat at the entrance of the cave and quietly watched the beautiful scenery at this time.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the rough sea, and the luster reflected is warm and gorgeous, and the delicate sand beach is also covered with a thin veil, which makes people can't help but wander.
But at this time, looking at the hazy and charming scenery, Mo Ran is a little sad, since he inexplicably left home passively, it has been more than a month, how sad and sad his parents will be if they can't find themselves, but they don't know where they are now, let alone how to leave here and return to their hometown.
Maybe I don't know when I might die here, and I won't be able to go back, thinking of this, Mo Ran, who has experienced so many catastrophes, has a sour nose.
Even if he can live here, he has almost no possibility of returning to his hometown, which means that he will never see his biological parents again.
A slap slapped him in the face, as for what this slap was for, only Mo Ran understood it in his heart.
Looking at the docile sea in front of him, Mo Ran took a deep breath, he must work hard to live, no matter what he will experience in the future, only by living can there be hope.
If you die here, you will never have the opportunity to go back and see your parents again, and if you don't die, you will still have a chance.
If it weren't for this belief, it would have been long since the moon drifted at sea, and it is estimated that there would have been no bones left, so how could it have survived until now?
It was as if a handful of firewood had been added to the fire that was about to be extinguished, and the flame of hope was once again ignited in the eyes of this young man, and in this moment, it was as if all the brilliance had been compared.
