"The shed we built yesterday is still usable for now. Today, everyone's task is to find as much water as possible, collect matches, and make salt. Of course, if possible, it would be best to find some dry grass to improve our sleeping conditions at night."
Upon hearing Nan Qu's words, the other four nodded in agreement.
Although they hadn't received any supplies and were feeling frustrated, believing they were doomed to lose the competition, they wanted to lose with dignity and not give up so easily.
Nan Qu glanced at the sun, which wasn't yet at its zenith, guessing it was around ten o'clock: "Alright, let's split up. I'll have an easier time in the mountains by myself. The four of you can follow the path back, collecting food and firewood along the way, just like yesterday. I'll try my best to understand the geography of these mountains and see if we can find a water source."
Everyone knows that the best way to listen to Nanqu is to take action on their own. Splitting up will allow them to get more done before dark. If they stay together, or if Nanqu keeps accommodating them, they might not be able to get anything done by then.
"Okay, then be careful."
Qin Kang is the team leader and also the oldest member, so his words naturally represent everyone's opinions.
Nan Qu smiled and nodded: "I will get back before noon, and then we can discuss what to do next."
After saying that, Nan Qu looked at the supply station set up by the production team, which was actually just surrounded by red rope.
"Since we're here, we can't come up empty-handed. We'll find something useful here eventually."
The other four were stunned by Nan Qu's crazy move. It took them a while to react before they went over to help Nan Qu solve the problem.
At this moment, both the live stream audience and the production team behind them were stunned.
The director, in particular, had his suitcase taken by Nan Qu yesterday, and he made sure not to put it away today so that she wouldn't take it again. But she, on the other hand, even took the rope from the production crew.
"No, is she a husky? Does she like to destroy things like that? Pass the word down: from now on, guests are not allowed to touch anything except supplies. Send a few people to label all the things guests can't bring. Touching NPC items will result in a deduction of points!"
The assistant director, looking at the red rope that had already been removed, asked, "Director Qian, the red team hasn't arrived yet. Will they be unable to find their way because they don't have the red rope?"
Director Qian looked like he had a headache: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and find someone to set up the scene again! I knew from watching her variety shows that Nan Qu wasn't one to follow the rules, but I didn't expect her to actually cause trouble for the production team."
The assistant director next to him muttered to himself, "It's just that I've run into directors like you who don't follow the rules."
Director Qian, who was standing to the side, knew that the assistant director was talking about him behind his back, and couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Stop whispering. Have you changed the photographer who is supposed to follow Nan Qu? We won't lose him again this time, will we?"
The assistant director hurriedly said, "We've changed him. This guy comes from the military and has extensive field combat experience, but we're not sure if we'll lose him. The main problem is that Nanqu is too unpredictable."
To say she's too unstable is too conservative; to be precise, she's too incredible. That leaf-picking and flower-flying move she made this morning is still being debated online.
They said the production team gave them a special favor and even added special effects.
Even if Nanqu were to fly through the air now, he wouldn't feel anything, well, he would still be a little surprised.
The live stream audience was going crazy with laughter; they never expected Nanqu to be so greedy.
In particular, they knew the production team was inhumane, failing to provide supplies once again. The fans of the red and blue sides were already arguing fiercely under the instigation of certain individuals.
However, because the production team didn't provide supplies, Nan Qu's blue team was fortunate. Nan Qu had considered the possibility of rain and not only took the opportunity to collect fresh water, but everyone also avoided getting wet in the rain that night. Although they were a bit tired from resting, the night was relatively peaceful.
But the Red Team wasn't so lucky. Unlike the Southern Qu team, who could only start a fire by rubbing sticks together, they were fortunate enough to find flint and steel. Moreover, they also guessed that the fire couldn't be extinguished.
However, they did not expect it to rain.
We were woken up by the rain in the middle of the night. We didn't even care that we were getting wet; we stayed there all night to protect the fire. Even after the rain stopped, the ground was still so damp that we couldn't sleep. It was a particularly difficult night.
After separating from her teammates, Nanqu walked in one direction.
If she remembered correctly, assuming the mountain was round, they were on the left half and the Red Team was on the right half. Starting from yesterday's meeting point, their activity range yesterday and today was within this part of their base and starting point.
In other words, there are still three-quarters of the island that they don't know about.
To get there quickly and before noon, Nanqu planned to explore their section next to it. Of course, Nanqu had her reasons for doing so.
Firstly, regarding tomorrow's mission, she explored the route in advance today. No matter where the supplies are tomorrow, they will pass through the areas she explored, which will make the journey faster.
Secondly, there's the issue of distance. She wasn't sure where the fresh water was, but there were always usable things on the mountain. Whatever it was, it would be useful to them right now. Discovering this area would also make it easier for her teammates to find supplies.
Another point is that although the production team said they had cleaned the island, she was still worried without checking it carefully. Walking around the area would make her feel safer.
Along the way, Nanqu moved quickly, but at a pace that the camera could keep up with. As she walked, Nanqu untied vines and wove baskets. She even made herself a stone axe along the way.
Judging from Nan Qu's skill level, no one would think she wouldn't be able to survive in the mountains.
Suddenly, Nan Qu remembered something and looked at the cameraman: "I remember the director said before that the resources on the mountain can be used freely, right? It's not like we can't pick them because of the rare wild plants, is it?"
The cameraman didn't speak, but heard the director's message and tapped the camera.
Nan Qu laughed: "Well, it's just a lack of supplies, it doesn't seem that difficult."
As she spoke, Nanqu squatted down and began digging up the grass on the ground. She even had the mood to explain to everyone: "This is wild Polygonum multiflorum. Polygonum multiflorum usually grows in valley thickets, under forests on mountain slopes, and in rock crevices along ditches at altitudes of 200 to 3,000 meters. It prefers a warm and humid climate, is shade-tolerant, dislikes drought, and is afraid of waterlogging. It is highly adaptable to the environment and is suitable for growing in deep, loose, fertile, humus-rich, moist, and well-drained sandy soil."
As she spoke, Nanqu dug out the Polygonum multiflorum: "However, it should be noted that raw Polygonum multiflorum cannot be eaten directly, because it contains anthraquinone compounds, which can cause gastrointestinal irritation such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and other digestive symptoms after consumption, and may also lead to more serious conditions such as toxic liver damage."
Therefore, if you need Polygonum multiflorum, it's best to prepare it yourself if you know how; otherwise, it's best to buy it from a reputable pharmacy.
