Shuke got off the bus with everyone. While everyone was admiring the scenery, Shuke ran a few steps to the lakeside and buried its head in the water, drinking its fill. By the time Xu Lin noticed, it had already drunk its fill.
"Don't worry, if there's something wrong with the water, the sheep won't come to drink it. Besides, our Shuke is so smart." Minister Sun looked at Shuke with satisfaction; what a good dog.
Shuke, who was drinking water, shuddered with smugness: "Is that guy surnamed Sun going to take a liking to me?! *sobs*"
The three of them didn't rush to collect supplies; they focused on filling their stomachs first. They sent Shuke, who had drunk his fill of water, to check the surrounding area for any dangers, while the three of them set up a stove to cook.
Minister Sun picked up stones to build a stove, Xu Lin took out the pots, pans, and seasonings she had brought from the car, and Zhou Pin went to the nearby woods to pick some wild vegetables. They lived off the land and the sea, and later checked if there were any fish in the lake. It would be even better if they could catch some.
The three of them ate noodles for lunch. I must say, the noodles cooked with lake water tasted quite delicious. No wonder Shuke drank so much water.
Xu Lin thought that while Minister Sun wasn't paying attention, she should take more water and put it in her spatial storage to see if the water was poisonous and to test what substances were in it.
After finishing their meal, the three of them began collecting supplies.
They had planned to come out for three days, but they had only been out for half a day and they had already found an oasis. They were really lucky, so all three of them were in a very good mood.
In the afternoon, the three of them divided the work: Xu Lin gathered firewood and picked wild vegetables, Zhou Pin picked fruit from the trees, Minister Sun was eager to try his hand at fishing in the lake, and Shu Ke had already run off to play.
While gathering firewood, Xu Lin looked at the plants and saplings on the ground, digging out anything that wasn't in her spatial storage and putting it there.
The temperature here is just right, and there are plenty of wild vegetables. There are purslane, daylilies, pod ferns, bracken, ferns, cimicifuga, and so on. I never expected that such an oasis could grow so many kinds of wild vegetables. In addition, without human intervention, they grow wildly in large patches, and Xu Lin's hands were sore from digging.
Just as they were getting into the swing of digging, Zhou Pin and Shu Ke came over. If I remember correctly, Zhou Pin was picking fruit and mushrooms in the woods across the way. Why did he come over with Shu Ke at this time? Was there too much fruit for them to carry?
“I just saw a car to the west through binoculars from the tree. Let’s go check it out with Uncle Sun,” Zhou Pin said.
The two arrived at the lakeside, where Minister Sun was struggling to catch fish. There were already three fish swimming listlessly in a bucket on the shore, each weighing two or three pounds. It seemed there were quite a few fish in the lake.
After hearing Zhou Pin's description, Minister Sun climbed out of the lake and, despite being soaked to the bone, rushed to see what was happening.
So the three of them set off in their car, heading in the direction where Zhou Pin had spotted the vehicle.
No one noticed Shuke running hard behind the car.
Shuke: Wait for me! I didn't get on the bus! You guys are abandoning me!
Before the three reached the abandoned car, they saw three skulls. They got out of the car and laid their three compatriots to rest.
In these uninhabited areas, even if the remains are buried, a rainstorm or a storm might force them back to sleeping on the streets. But they cannot ignore what they have seen.
It was 20 minutes later when we arrived at the abandoned car.
“This car looks like it’s been abandoned here for quite a while,” Xu Lin said.
"The tires are unusable," Zhou Pin said.
“I happen to have a few tires that might be useful,” Minister Sun said, standing next to Zhou Pin and Xu Lin.
The three of them walked around the car to check if there was any danger.
