Island Survival 3

Day 5 on the island, 5 am.

Chu Yun and his teammates got up and packed their things to prepare to flee. They moved quickly, taking everything they needed, even the unused firewood. They only kept some temporary supplies in their backpacks and stuffed the rest into their storage rings.

Chu Yun was carrying a black canvas bag, which contained only a piece of dry bread and 500ml of packaged mineral water. A mace was stuck upside down in the outer pocket of the backpack, and the bow and arrow were placed on the backpack, with a quiver pinned to his waist.

As the few of them were about to leave, a wave suddenly hit them from the sea. The wave was blocked by the beach and small bushes, which slowed down most of the impact. When it reached the camp, it slowly and weakly extended to their feet.

The problem is.

The sea level, which had not reached the bushes yesterday, rose more than ten meters overnight. Their campsite was located in the bushes not far from the forest, but now it has been submerged. What about the players who were stationed on the edge of the beach to pick up seafood?

Sure enough, shouting and cursing were heard not far away.

"Hurry, hurry, get up! You're drowning and you're still sleeping!"

"Fuck, I felt like I had a dream where I almost choked to death on water."

"Ah, all my seafood has been washed away, damn it."

"This is such a rip-off game!"

Chu Yun and his companions ignored the players who were still rescuing supplies in the sea water, and quietly walked into the forest with their two teammates.

After they were completely away from the rising sea water and could no longer hear the players' shouting and cursing, the pace of the few people gradually slowed down.

"It's a shame that the campsite where we stayed for several days is gone."

Xu Dongdong likes that kind of comfortable state very much.

"It's okay, we can just find another suitable campsite." Yu Wenhao rarely comforted others. After two days of treatment and rest, his injured leg had completely healed.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the system sound rang.

[All players have entered the dungeon. Number of players in this round: 5000.]

[Survival supplies for this round 10/0, airdrop in progress. 5-4-3-2-1]

[Note: This round of game supplies includes rare land prop cards.]

As soon as he finished speaking, the roar of a helicopter sounded overhead.

When they heard about the airdrop, several people raised their heads to look at the sky. A helicopter appeared out of nowhere and flew over their heads. After a few seconds, it turned into a tiny dot, but they could still clearly see that it dropped several supply packages along its predetermined route, most of which were near the top of the mountain.

It seems that the game is specifically designed to attract players to go inside the island.

Chu Yun held the compass and said, "Let's go and grab a few more supply packs."

A rare item, or the land item card she wanted! She only had one land item card, and the system required five to create a personal copy. Now that the opportunity was right in front of her, she had to seize it.

She had mentioned the Happy Farm matter to Xu Dongdong and Yu Wenhao. They knew her plan and quickly walked towards the interior of the island.

Chu Yun caught another pheasant as she passed by the trap she had set earlier. Now she had two pheasants. She fondled the pheasant's head, which had been starving all day, and looked at the trap she had worked so hard to dig with regret. She would never pass by this place again.

Rather than saying it is an island, it is more like a primeval forest. The further you go in, the deeper the feeling becomes.

Everywhere there are huge trees with strange appearances that block out the sky. The dense leaves cover the ground like a green blanket, blocking the direct sunlight. The mottled sunlight shines on people, making them look soft and mysterious.

Various short plants climb all over the tree trunks like vines, intertwining and staggered. Insects and small animals hide among the diverse plant communities. The vegetation is rich, the air is fresh, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

It looks like a paradise on earth, but unknown risks are hidden under the mysterious veil. It is like a vampire beauty hiding behind the smoke, which will take your life when you are not paying attention.

Chu Yun and the other two were bandaged from head to toe, leaving not a trace of skin exposed to the air. Chu Yun led the way with a mace, Xu Dongdong followed in second, and Yu Wenhao brought up the rear.

They kept this formation and walked for 11 hours straight, until 7 p.m., but still hadn't seen the foot of the mountain. They only ate a few snacks along the way. At the beach camp, they stored 10 fish they had caught at sea, either grilled, dried, or in fish soup, in their storage rings, so they could replenish their energy if they didn't have time to cook.

There was no water source or suitable shelter around. The few of them finally found a slightly spacious flat ground. It was already dark and it would be very dangerous to go forward, so they could only rest here tonight.

There were woods all around and plenty of firewood. After they started a fire, they luxuriously opened two packets of instant noodles and ate the remaining soup with bread. Each of them felt a little full after eating a large piece of bread.

After dinner, those who needed to keep watch kept watch, and those who needed to sleep slept. They were so tired after walking all day that no one had the energy to talk.

Day 6 on the island.

The nights were chilly, and even the constantly burning fire couldn't keep the chill at bay. Even wrapping ourselves up in layers of clothing was futile. The daytime heat was intense, and we had to bundle up tightly to avoid insect bites. The huge temperature difference between day and night made the experience quite uncomfortable.

It is still a long way from the foot of the mountain, and there are hidden roads everywhere. You need to find your own way. If you don’t have a compass, you might go in the wrong direction.

Today's schedule was very heavy, so Yu Wenhao, who was on night watch, woke everyone up early and handed each of them a cup of warm water. Chu Yun took the hot water and took a sip. The hot water dispelled the early morning chill and he felt better.

After finishing the fish soup they'd prepared in their storage ring, the three of them set off. Perhaps they were the first group to leave, and given their relentless pace, no other players were catching up, and there were no signs of any players ahead.

Day seven on the island.

Xu Dongdong was bitten by a poisonous snake.

At that time, several people were walking through the jungle. Chu Yun was leading the way and walking in front, while Xu Dongdong lagged behind. At that time, Xu Dongdong felt that the branch on the side was a little strange. The surface of the branch was wrinkled but the color was very bright.

He felt curious and stared at it for a few more seconds, but he didn't expect that this one glance almost cost him his life. The venomous snake was well camouflaged, blending in with the surrounding trees and difficult to distinguish without careful observation.

Before he could react, the venomous snake had already stuck its head out and bit him. Coincidentally, it bit the part of his neck that was exposed to the air.

Xu Dongdong let out a radioactive scream. When Chu Yun turned around, Yu Wenhao, who had followed him forward, had already drawn his machete and was aiming at the poisonous snake.

The poisonous snake was very fast. After biting Xu Dongdong, it "whoosh" into the jungle and disappeared. Yu Wenhao followed the poisonous snake and looked around, while Chu Yun squatted beside Xu Dongdong to check.

The clothes around Xu Dongdong's neck were ripped open to squeeze out the blood from the wound, which had already turned completely black. Xu Dongdong's lips had turned pale and he was sweating profusely. He hadn't expected the snake venom to be so potent; it had spread completely in just a few seconds.

Chu Yun then took out a medical bandage and applied it to Xu Dongdong, but it only stopped the bleeding and didn't detoxify. She crushed several detoxifying herbs she had picked earlier and applied them to Xu Dongdong's wound, but it still didn't help, and the negative effects didn't diminish.

"It ran away." Yu Wenhao came back quickly. He looked disappointed. He didn't catch the poisonous snake and didn't know what kind of venom it was. He didn't know how to detoxify it.

At this time, Xu Dongdong's nerves were paralyzed, and his mouth was trembling and he could hardly speak, but he still said with difficulty: "No, don't worry about me. I will quit the game later. It's a pity that I can't complete it with you."

Chu Yun stopped Xu Dongdong who was about to quit the game: "Don't worry, I have a universal antidote pill."

She remembered the reward she got for killing the rattlesnake in the first copy. She almost forgot about it after a long time. She took out the detoxification pill and gave it to Xu Dongdong to take.

After swallowing the detoxification pill, Xu Dongdong's nerve paralysis symptoms improved significantly, but his face was still very pale and he had difficulty moving. They decided to find a place to rest today and wait until the remaining poison in Xu Dongdong was completely eliminated before setting off again tomorrow.

The area was filled with towering trees, and the ground was covered with corroded plant leaves, with countless insects hiding on the surface. Some of these insects were small but extremely poisonous, especially the swarms of ants. If you were bitten by one of them, a large lump would immediately appear on your skin.

Xu Dongdong was unable to move, so Wenhao carried him forward. Yu Wenhao, having trained in the military for many years, was a bit slower, but his stamina was no problem. After two hours of walking, they finally found a suitable spot to set up shelter. The terrain was high, flat, and open, with no signs of large animals around.

Yu Wenhao placed Xu Dongdong on the ground and went to collect firewood nearby. Chu Yun was clearing away the dead branches and leaves on the ground. There were still some mugwort leaves left from the previous harvest, so she took some out and lit them to smoke away the small insects on the ground.

Xu Dongdong was feeling weak today and needed a nutritional boost, so Chu Yun extravagantly prepared a pheasant and began preparing it. It was still a chicken stew with mushrooms, but the mushrooms were the last handful, and they were gone. For the main course, they added three packets of instant noodles to the soup, leaving the seasoning packets in the space.

After drinking half a bowl of chicken soup, Xu Dongdong's condition improved a lot, and he waited for the next day to set off.

Now, the three of them can vaguely see the mountain peak. If nothing unexpected happens, they can reach the foot of the mountain tomorrow.

Day 8 on the island.

They quickly ate a few white flour buns and hurried on. Xu Dongdong's injury had delayed their journey the entire afternoon the previous day, and there were only ten survival kits, which only the teams at the front could access. Just because they hadn't encountered other players didn't mean there weren't other teams ahead of them. After all, the island was enormous; the coastline where Chuyun landed stretched as far as the eye could see.

In the evening, they finally reached the foot of the mountain, but there was a river ahead blocking their way.

The river water is formed by the confluence of waterfalls on the mountain. The waterfall is at a very high altitude and the gravitational acceleration of the water is very large. Their place is not far from the waterfall and the water flows fast.

The river, about 30 meters wide, stretched in a straight line past the three of them into the distance. There was nothing above the river, no wooden bridge or stepping stones, but to reach the top, one had to cross the river. The water was so clear that even standing at the edge, one could see the pebbles at the bottom a few meters away.

"So? We can only swim over there?" Yu Wenhao checked the surrounding situation and had to come to this conclusion.

"Yes, there's no better way," Chu Yun gritted his teeth. If the raft was still there, there would be another way, but the raft had sunk to the bottom of the sea when it encountered the whirlpool. It was too late to cut down trees to make a raft, so the easiest way was to swim across. The only concern was the unknown creatures in the water.

The surface of the river is calm and looks safe, but in this man-eating game, safety is only temporary. As long as you look down through the surface of the river, you will find that the bottom of the river is full of various dangers that are hard to guard against, so they need to stay vigilant at all times.

The two life jackets that they wore when surviving on the raft were still in Chu Yun's space ring. Chu Yun took out one set and gave it to Xu Dongdong, and kept one set for himself. There were only two sets. Xu Dongdong was weak, Chu Yun was a girl, and Yu Wenhao was strong and took the initiative to give up his set.

Aside from their weapons, all their supplies were placed in their space rings. Chu Yun was still the first, Xu Dongdong was second, and Yu Wenhao was the last.

Chu Yun stepped into the river with the rope in hand. The pebbles at the bottom of the river were covered with moss, and it was easy to slip. She carefully tested the water, reminding Xu Dongdong behind her as she walked.

Xu Dongdong stepped into the river 5 meters behind her, and Yu Wenhao was 5 meters behind Xu Dongdong. The distance was just right, not too far away that he could not take care of her, nor too close that he would not have time to respond if danger was discovered in front.

They were worried that the fast-flowing river would wash them away, so they tied them together with ropes.

Chu Yun tested the depth of the riverbed. The water gradually covered her calves and thighs, and before she reached the middle of the river, it was already up to her neck. Chu Yun felt that there was already a huge obstacle to her feet, and soon there would be no place to stand. She had no choice but to swim across.

She slid her arms, swaying the water around her like a free fish. She was very fast, swimming through the deep water in a few seconds. When her feet could touch the bottom again, she stopped and turned back to wait for her companions.

Xu Dongdong was slow and fell far behind. He struggled forward in the turbulent river. At this moment, he had deviated from the straight line under the impact of the river water.

Sudden.

"Hurry, there is danger, swim to the shore." Chu Yun, who had been observing the river surface, saw a group of turtle green fish swimming over from the upper end of the river. They had a row of sharp teeth and were not large in size, but there were a large number of them.

Piranhas can eat animals that stray into the water, leaving only bones in a short period of time. They only eat meat, of course including human flesh.
