Chapter 54: Alone
Lin Xi patiently grinded the stone again and again, and the edge of the stone became sharper and sharper.
When the water in the clay bowl was almost cold, Lin Xi drank one bowl in one breath and handed the other bowl to Qi Mo.
After drinking the water, Lin Xi felt hungry again.
Half a snake and a few conchs were almost used up after two battles.
However, the jungle becomes more dangerous after dark and is not suitable for looking for food.
Lin Xi felt in her pocket again and took out a handful of wild cherry berries. She gave half to Qi Mo and ate the rest slowly herself.
Qi Mo turned around and looked at Lin Xi while holding the wild cherry berries. The eighteen-year-old girl had an outstanding character, wisdom, and fighting skills. He really didn't know how she grew up.
She must have suffered a lot since childhood.
Qi Mo touched her head with pity, "Are you tired? You go to sleep first. I'm not sleepy yet. I'll watch the fire."
He carefully studied the videos of "Extreme Survival" from previous years. Although night attacks were rare, they did happen.
It is not uncommon to have someone grab you by the neck and have your nameplate ripped off in the middle of the night.
Lin Xi really wanted to sleep, mainly because she wouldn't feel hungry when she fell asleep.
She nodded. "I'll sleep in the first half of the night, and you sleep in the second half. Remember to wake me up."
Lin Xi wrapped her clothes tightly and lay down next to the fire.
Qi Mo responded, his eyes fixed on her face.
She closed her eyes, and her bright and clear eyes were covered by her long eyelashes, with a small shadow under her eyes.
Her cheeks, which have not yet lost their baby fat, are slightly puffed up, making people want to pinch them.
Her lips are a light pink, beautifully shaped, with a slightly raised lip bow, giving her an innocent and carefree cuteness.
Qi Mo looked at it for a while and couldn't help laughing.
She didn't know when black ash got under her nose, making it look like she had a mustache.
He moved his fingers and was about to reach out to wipe off the black dust for her, but suddenly he looked up and stared straight at the camera not far away.
Thinking that his every move was under surveillance by the camera, Qi Mo silently withdrew his hand.
Lin Xi woke up in the middle of the night.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the bright starry sky. The night seemed like a huge piece of black velvet, dotted with countless sparkling diamonds.
It is because this place is far away from the pollution of the city that we have such a beautiful night sky, while it is difficult for people in the city to see the starry sky.
She stared at the stars for a few seconds, then sat up suddenly.
Qi Mo, who was standing next to him, turned his head when he heard the noise. Lin Xi stood up and stretched a bit, "You go to sleep. I'll keep watch."
Qi Mo shook his head, "No need, you continue to sleep, I'll just sit and take a nap."
Lin Xi looked around and found that most of the contestants were asleep. People were lying around the campfires by the lake. Even the staff were less than half as many as during the day.
Only a few cameras are still working diligently.
She thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, we still have to look for food and perhaps build a shelter. Both require physical strength. You must rest now."
Qi Mo thought about it and nodded, "How about, let's sleep together——"
After he finished speaking, he felt that his words seemed ambiguous, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red again. "I mean, we are all asleep. Don't worry, I am very alert when I sleep. If someone approaches, I will notice it quickly."
Lin Xi nodded. Today, many contestants had expended a lot of energy just to swim out of the sea, and it took them a lot of time to find water. Most of them didn't find any food, so they probably wouldn't have the energy to launch a night attack.
She lay down again, and Qi Mo also lay down not far from her.
Nothing happened overnight.
Lin Xi woke up at dawn.
When she stood up, Qi Mo also opened his eyes.
Qi Mo smiled and pointed at the black dust under her nose, "There's dust, go wash your face."
Lin Xi reached out and wiped it, feeling a little embarrassed.
There was no mirror here, but she knew what she looked like.
His face must be dusty and his hair must be a mess.
She went to the lake, washed her face, and fetched more water, filtering it through charcoal.
The fire was much smaller, and Qi Mo was adding firewood.
He took the jar from Lin Xi's hand and carefully placed it on the fire.
The water boiled soon. After being poured into a clay bowl and allowed to cool, Lin Xi poured it into a plastic bottle.
Then they boiled some water, and after each of them took care of their physiological problems, they rinsed their mouths with the boiled water and sat together to discuss in a low voice what they were going to do today.
As they walked along yesterday, the two of them discovered that there were no animals on the island.
The most common ones are various spiders, insects like centipedes, and snakes.
If I want to fill my stomach, I must go to the sea to catch some fish or find some shells today.
After the discussion, the two set off.
Qi Mo wrapped the clay jar with leaves, tied it with vines and tied it around his waist. There was half a jar of boiled water in it.
There was also a bottle of water in Lin Xi's plastic bottle, which was enough for them to use for most of the day.
The two men held sticks and walked into the jungle one in front and one behind.
Lin Xi was still walking in front.
As he walked along, he only found a few snakes as thick as chopsticks, with not much meat, so Lin Xi decided to let them go.
After walking for more than an hour, the two finally reached the beach through the jungle.
There is no beach here, only reefs.
There are also cameras set up here.
Qi Mo took off the canister from his waist and said, "I'll go into the water first and take a look. You stay on the shore."
He quickly took off his clothes and trousers, and soon he was left with only a tight-fitting pair of swimming trunks.
Lin Xi turned her head away a little embarrassedly. For some reason, Qi Mo also felt a little embarrassed. He took the plastic bag handed to him by Lin Xi and quickly went into the water.
The sea water is very cold.
Lin Xi saw Qi Mo's figure quickly disappear in the water and knew that he had dived.
Not long after, he was seen floating up again.
Qi Mo repeatedly floated up and dived down. Lin Xi's consciousness was mostly focused on Qi Mo at this moment. Diving was a very dangerous thing. She was afraid that he would encounter some danger while diving and would not be able to get up, and she would not know it yet.
Just then, Lin Xi noticed someone coming over here.
Because she had to pay attention to Qi Mo, Lin Xi only allocated a small part of her spiritual sense and could only detect movements within a hundred meters.
She "saw" a total of six people coming, all white men.
Lin Xi frowned and wanted to call Qi Mo to come up, but he was submerged in the water and couldn't hear her.
But her shouting would alarm these white people.
Lin Xi had no choice but to wait quietly.
But Qi Mo dived for a longer time this time, and he was feeling for something in the cracks of the rocks on the seabed.
One hundred meters is not a long distance, and it only takes a little over a minute to run.
Soon, Lin Xi saw the six white men coming out of the woods.
She stood up, turned around and watched the people approaching warily.
Seeing Lin Xi standing alone on the beach, these people all smiled.
