The two trekked through the dense jungle for almost an hour, but still found no freshwater resources.
However, at this moment, Chen Fan made a new discovery.
He found a bird's nest in a tree in front of him.
Two kingfishers were chirping incessantly nearby.
Chen Fan decisively took out his slingshot.
Liu Feifei quickly raised her head, wondering if she would get to eat meat today, depending on how accurately Chen Fan shot.
Whoosh!
The pebble shot through the air, but this time the luck was clearly not so good.
It only hit a leaf next to one of the birds, and the noise instantly startled both birds into flying away.
"It's alright, Chen Fan. Those two birds are just too small. It's normal that you couldn't hit them."
Seemingly afraid that Chen Fan would be disappointed, Liu Feifei quickly offered words of comfort.
Teammates should support each other.
At this moment, she naturally wanted to help Chen Fan up and boost his confidence.
Perhaps this will allow Chen Fan to shoot more accurately.
"Don't worry! I won't be upset about something so small."
"Besides, the bird flew away, but the nest is still there. There might be eggs inside."
Chen Fan smiled, clearly not feeling disappointed by the incident.
Then he took off his carrying basket and started climbing the tree.
If there are bird eggs inside, that would be very nice.
It might even taste better than bird meat and have higher nutritional value.
In just two minutes, Chen Fan had already climbed to the location of the bird's nest.
Four bird eggs lay quietly inside. Although the eggs were small, they were still a good source of protein.
For wilderness survivors, this is nothing short of a gift from heaven.
Chen Fan also packed them all up!
This might be their food for today.
After he climbed down from the tree, Liu Feifei quickly went up to him and asked, "How was it? Did you have any success?"
"Hmm, not bad haul, four bird eggs!"
"We can cook them and eat them once we find fresh water," Chen Fan said with a smile, taking out the bird eggs.
"Okay, let's hurry and find a water source!"
Although Liu Feifei felt a little tired at this moment, she also knew the importance of fresh water.
So we must find fresh water today no matter what!
The two continued on their way, while two kingfishers nearby grumbled and complained, clearly showing their disdain for Chen Fan's shrewish behavior.
We traveled for about half an hour.
The surrounding vegetation is now denser and greener.
This suggests they may be getting closer to a water source...
"Splash..."
Just then, Chen Fan faintly heard the sound of rushing water.
After their bodies were enhanced, their eyesight and hearing were also greatly improved, making them much stronger than ordinary people.
"Let's go take a look over there."
Chen Fan immediately quickened his pace, and Liu Feifei hurried to catch up.
Time flowed by, second by second.
Ten minutes later, Liu Feifei also heard the sound of running water, and her face immediately showed excitement.
Soon, a clear stream appeared in front of the two of them.
The water was very clear, and there were water fungus and moss on the surrounding rocks.
This kind of thing can only be cultivated in high-quality water.
This proves that this water source is absolutely clean!
Wow!! Is this fresh water?
Liu Feifei, barely suppressing her excitement, asked.
Although the water is clear, it cannot be immediately determined that it is fresh water.
"Let me try it first!!"
Chen Fan casually picked a broad leaf from the side, folded it into the shape of a water pouch, and then scooped up a spoonful.
I took a small bite and couldn't taste any saltiness.
Cool and slightly sweet, this is the purest mountain spring water.
“It’s fresh water…” Chen Fan smiled and looked at Liu Feifei.
"Great, we've finally found fresh water."
"So, shouldn't we decide on the location for the shelter next?" Liu Feifei asked excitedly.
On the third day after arriving on the island, we finally found a sufficient supply of fresh water.
With this stream, their survival was finally secured!
After all, water is essential to people no matter where they are.
Without water, they simply cannot survive.
"Yes, you're right!"
"Now that we've found a water source, we can look for a place nearby to build a shelter."
Chen Fan nodded seriously.
The shelter should be built near a water source so that they can easily obtain and use water in the future.
Of course, the distance cannot be too close.
Because if you're too close to a water source, there might be a lot of mosquitoes and animals around at night!
This river has sustained countless animals.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain an appropriate distance...
"Okay, let's continue on our way!"
Liu Feifei was clearly a little impatient.
The shelter must be set up before I go to bed tonight.
Otherwise, the night in the woods would be more dangerous than the beach... a fact she was well aware of.
“Okay, let’s go!” Chen Fan nodded, and the two continued to explore the surrounding area.
The location of the campsite is still very important.
In addition to being close to a water source, it also needs to be flat and able to receive sunlight.
They also need to determine the types and quantities of plants and animals in the surrounding area that can support their survival.
The two walked upstream for about half an hour.
At this moment, a relatively flat area of ground appeared in front of us.
There are many small shrubs around, but very few large shrubs that allow sunlight to reach them.
"This is an ideal location to build a shelter!"
"The ground is flat and there's plenty of sunshine!"
"I just don't know if there's any food around."
Chen Fan immediately took a liking to this campsite.
Once the bushes and weeds here are cleared away, it will be the perfect spot to build a shelter.
Moreover, it's not too far from the stream.
The only problem now is whether there is any prey nearby!
"How about we rest here for the rest of the day?"
"After we tidy up, we can go look around for prey."
Liu Feifei offered her suggestion.
They had traveled a long time today and were feeling very tired.
Even if we continue searching, we may not be able to find such a suitable campsite!
Looking for a white horse while riding a mule is usually a good approach.
"Alright! Let's clear away the weeds here first and set up a simple campsite."
"Let's check the surrounding area again this afternoon..."
Chen Fan accepted Liu Feifei's suggestion.
The two then went their separate ways.
Liu Feifei was responsible for collecting firewood from the surrounding area and then starting a fire to boil the bird eggs.
Chen Fan was responsible for dealing with the surrounding weeds and shrubs.
Teaming up with two people is often much easier than teaming up alone!
Under the blazing sun, the midday temperature once again exceeded 37°C.
The temperature on the island was extremely high, and Liu Feifei was drenched in sweat in no time.
However, they remained highly motivated.
On Chen Fan's side, the weeds and shrubs have been mostly cleared.
All we need to do now is cut down a few trees and set up a temporary camp.
As for a more perfect shelter, that's a massive project, and it's estimated to take several days to complete!
...
Half an hour later, Liu Feifei had also finished cooking lunch.
Lunch was simple: wild vegetable and egg drop soup!
He originally planned to simply feed four bird eggs, but then he realized that would be too little food and they wouldn't be able to get enough to eat.
If you find some wild vegetables and cook them into an egg drop soup, both of you can have a full meal!
And there were also water fungus that we found in the stream earlier.
According to Chen Fan, this fruit is also very nutritious, has a pleasant and delicious taste, and is a rare delicacy.
"Chen Fan, come and have something to eat!"
"Okay..." Chen Fan replied, stopping his work.
