"Let's go! It's still early, let's explore the surrounding area some more and see if we can find anything else that we can use."
After tidying everything up, Chen Fan led Liu Feifei back into the dense jungle.
This time, the direction we chose to go was completely different from the previous times, because this would greatly increase our chances of finding food and supplies.
The two continued forward, and time quietly slipped away.
...
In the blink of an eye, an hour and a half had passed.
Along the way, we discovered many wild vegetables, as well as wild garlic and wild ginger in some places with sufficient sunlight.
These are all excellent seasonings, perfect for cooking meat, as they effectively mask the gamey smell of meat.
"We've waited so long, let's take a break!"
Chen Fan looked ahead and then spoke to Liu Feifei.
Although it was nearly 5 p.m., the temperature on the island was still very high.
Especially in dense forests, it is very hot and humid, so it is easy to get tired.
"Okay..."
Liu Feifei quickly nodded.
After walking for so long, I do feel quite tired.
After finding a place to sit down, I started massaging my legs.
Walking for more than an hour on a flat road is no problem at all, but the path in the jungle is really difficult to walk.
After a short rest, the two continued their journey!
After walking for more than ten minutes, some broad-leaved plants suddenly appeared in front of us.
"Chen Fan, look! Is that a bunch of bananas over there?" Liu Feifei exclaimed excitedly as she looked at the broad-leaved plants in front of her.
Because that whole bunch really does look exactly like bananas!!
They still look green and haven't turned yellow, which means they're not ripe yet.
"Yes, that's right, it's a banana."
Let's go take a look!
Chen Fan also quickened his pace.
Soon the two arrived at the banana tree.
There are many banana trees in this area, at least twenty or thirty scattered around, and most of them have large bunches of bananas on them.
However, most of them are not yet mature!
"What a pity! They're all green, and they don't seem to be ripe at all."
Looking at the bunches of green bananas, Liu Feifei said with a disappointed expression.
If these bananas all ripen, their fruit problem will be solved for a long time to come...
Furthermore, these bananas can be sliced and made into dried bananas, which can be stored for a long time and then replenish the body's sugar and vitamins.
"That banana tree over there looks a bit yellowish, but it seems ready to eat!"
"Let's go take a look."
Chen Fan scanned his surroundings and quickly spotted a banana tree that ripened earlier than the surrounding bananas.
Although most of them were green, there were also a few light yellow ones mixed in with a bunch of bananas.
Bananas are generally safe to eat if the peel is yellowish.
Moreover, even green bananas are perfectly usable in the wilderness, as long as they are not too astringent.
Soon the two arrived at the base of the banana tree.
I did a quick count, and there were five or six yellow bananas in total.
The other bananas are also starting to turn slightly yellow!
This means that the bananas on this banana tree will ripen soon.
These green ones are perfectly usable now. After leaving them for a few more days, they should be fully ripe.
"Great, Chen Fan! There are several ripe bananas."
"We can finally have fruit to eat..."
Liu Feifei jumped up excitedly.
The fatigue and leg soreness from before were instantly swept away.
This is the first time I've properly eaten fruit since I came to the island.
And it's my favorite banana!!
This is absolutely awesome!!
"Yes, it's not just about having fruit to eat."
"For a long time to come, we will have plenty of fruit to enjoy."
Chen Fan also made no attempt to hide the excitement on his face.
Finding such a large banana grove means their living conditions have improved significantly.
Even if there are occasional periods when they can't hunt, they can get through that time by eating bananas.
And if nothing unexpected happens, these bananas should all be ripe in a while.
They can be made into dried bananas and stored for three to five months without any problem.
"Wait a minute, let me cut down the banana tree first."
After Chen Fan finished speaking, he began to cut down trees.
In terms of strength, there's no doubt about it; with just three slashes, the banana tree trunk was knocked to the ground.
Banana trees are annual herbaceous plants, so they are usually cut down when harvesting bananas.
Anyway, there's no point in continuing to plant banana trees here.
After being felled, their remains return to dust, becoming nourishment for the island!
Soon, Chen Fan cut down the large bunch of bananas.
There should be close to a hundred of them.
Chen Fan immediately picked a few yellowing bananas and handed one to Liu Feifei, saying, "Try this banana, how does it taste?"
Then I peeled one open myself.
It has a slightly astringent taste amidst its sweetness, and this is also why bananas are highly nutritious.
In ancient times, this type of banana was a tribute to the imperial palace, and it was highly nutritious.
It not only contains abundant carbohydrates, but also a variety of minerals and vitamins, offering numerous health benefits when consumed.
"Mmm, it tastes great, I really like this flavor."
Liu Feifei quickly smiled sweetly and nodded.
Perhaps it's because I haven't eaten fruit for almost ten days, so I feel really good!
Even the slightest hint of sweetness can bring immense satisfaction to one's mind and body.
During their conversation, the two ate four or five more.
"Well, today's harvest was truly excellent; our standard of living has definitely improved to another level!"
"Let's carry this bunch of bananas back today. It should be enough for us to eat for many days. We'll come back to pick more after we finish them."
With this bunch of bananas, Chen Fan prepared to return to the shelter first.
Now that the fruit problem is solved, we don't need to worry about a lack of sugar in our bodies for a while!
However, it would be even better if we could find more fruit.
After all, a variety of food options is essential for survivors.
Even if you eat lots of bananas, you'll get tired of them after a while and want to eat other fruits!
...
The two then happily headed to the shelter.
Meanwhile, in other live streams, some contestants had already found the fruit.
For example, live stream room number 20.
Contestants Wang Qianbei and Wang Defa found a fruit that was very suitable for Wang Qianbei to eat.
