"We have to do something too. Yun 'Er, please find some dry wood nearby.”
When Su Mubai's figure completely disappeared in front of the two, Song Huiqiao walked out of the life raft with some effort. Her strength recovered a bit, and she began to command Lin Yun 'er.
"Picking up wood. Do you want to start a fire?"
"Yes, I want to see if I can boil some fresh water using the retorting method.”
Song Hui Qiao took out an aluminum kettle. This was why she had asked Su Mubai to leave the kettle behind. Even if the retorting method succeeded, the amount of fresh water wouldn't be too much, but it was still better than nothing.
In case Su Mubai didn't find any water, then the water obtained from this method would be very important.
After Lin Yun 'er understood, she nodded gently and began to pick up the wood. On the deserted island, there was no shortage of dry wood. She did not need to spend too much effort. She carried a large pile of wood from the side. Song Hye Kyo walked to the coast and filled half of the kettle with seawater.
What happened next was a little difficult for the two women.
Flint wasn't easy to use, especially for two women who had never touched flint before, it was even more difficult. If he had known earlier, he would have let Su Mubai start the fire before leaving.
The two of them took turns to fight and spent a lot of effort. In the end, Lin Yun 'er made an unexpected performance and finally lit the fire.
The fire burned brighter and brighter. Song Hye Kyo put the kettle on and covered it with a layer of plastic bag.
This process was not very smooth. The first two times, the plastic bag was burned. After a long time, he barely managed to control the fire and prevent the plastic bag from being burned again.
The water vapor slowly floated upwards and slowly condensed into small water droplets on the plastic bag. This also meant that the distilled water was successful. Looking at these small water droplets, Lin Yun 'er could not help but swallow. Her small mouth was almost empty of saliva.
The scene changed, his line of sight returning to Su Mubai.
Entering the forest, Su Mubai carefully walked forward step by step. Every time he walked forward, he would use the Taiping Axe to make a conspicuous mark on a nearby tree, in case he was trapped in the forest and couldn't get out.
The forest was covered by countless tall trees, the trees tangled with vines of different thickness, and below, the leaves of all kinds of plants made Su Mubai incomparably annoyed.
Su Mubai didn't recognize most of the plants, and didn't dare to touch them. Even if his body was tightly wrapped, he tried not to touch them. If he could avoid them, he would avoid them. If he couldn't avoid them, he would chop them off with the Taiping Axe in his hand.
Su Mubai wasn't running around like a headless fly. If that was the case, when he could find water, he really could only rely on the heavens.
When he walked, he would often look down at the ground nearby. Now, he was walking along the footprints of animals. Ordinary animals needed water to replenish their water. If he followed the footprints of animals, he would have a higher chance of finding water.
As for what animal's footprints, Su Mubai didn't know.
It looked a bit like a deer's footprints, but there were also some slight differences. Su Mubai guessed that it was the footprints of some kind of deer. Su Mubai wasn't afraid of deer. Ordinary deer wouldn't attack people. Basically, as long as someone approached, deer would hide far away.
However, even so, Su Mubai didn't dare relax a bit. After all, no one knew what else was in the forest.
Up until now, the most fortunate thing for Su Mubai was that he still hadn't encountered the poisonous insects and snakes he was most worried about before entering the forest. He didn't know whether it was because of the tight wrapping or the insect repellent spray, or perhaps both, but in any case, this was a very good thing for Su Mubai.
Gradually, Su Mubai went deeper and deeper into the forest.
The footprints were still obvious, but there was still no water source. The only harvest was the poisonous fish vine in the bag in his hand.
Poisonous dervish was a very unique plant of the family of the Legume family, Melia azedarach. This plant could produce a substance called rotenone, which was very effective in catching fish. With this substance, it would be extremely easy to catch fish.
It was highly poisonous, but as long as people did not eat it directly, they would be fine. Moreover, fish caught with this poisonous fish vine would not be affected after eating it, and they would not be poisoned.
If he really couldn't find a water source, Su Mubai could only rely on catching fish by the coast, using fish blood to replenish water.
Blood was indeed unable to quench thirst, but it could replenish the body's water content. It was just that the mouth would still feel uncomfortable, but it was still better than dying from water loss.
Of course, even if he really wanted to drink fish blood, it was only a short-term solution. He would not be able to last long without finding fresh water.
The blood of animals contained a lot of bacteria and parasites. Long-term consumption would not only increase the workload of purifying the organs, but also cause great compatibility with the kidney organs of the body and cause various diseases.
Unless it was cooked and disinfected, there would be no moisture left, and there would be no point in drinking the blood. This was the last resort. It was absolutely impossible to drink the fish blood while they could still hold on.
"Whoosh…Whoosh..."
Continuing to walk forward, a small voice suddenly sounded in Su Mubai's ears.
Su Mubai's heart skipped a beat. After taking a deep breath, he hurriedly stopped and listened carefully.
"Whoosh…Whoosh... Whoosh..."
After stopping, the refreshing voice became even more obvious. That voice was like the sound of nature pouring into Su Mubai's ears, making Su Mubai's entire body tremble.
