They unnaturally took off their clothes and put them aside, all with their heads down. Yunwen was relatively better because she had experience, but the other two were like quails.

I won't eat them either.

I also took off my wet clothes, and then the four of us formed a circle and hugged each other. The three girls' skin had some contact with me, and it was all very tender. I admit that this was the first time I was so frank with girls...so even though I'm used to the world, I still felt a little awkward and unnatural at this moment.

But it is indeed much better. The body temperature of everyone is preserved by each other and is not easily dissipated. And because we are gathered together, the temperature seems to be rising. For a moment, the coldness of the rainy day has less effect on us. I think there will be no problem getting through tonight.

Now no one dared to speak to avoid embarrassing each other. The four of us just hugged each other and waited for the rain to stop.

If we were in the civilized world, such intimate contact, which is far beyond safe contact, might only be possible between lovers. But now these girls are all so close to me, with our bodies touching, and I can feel each other's breathing. It is really unusual. After all, there are more than one of them, and I have to keep hugging each other. This feeling is so wonderful.

The rain fell heavily for a long time and finally stopped and became much lighter. We hugged each other so tightly that the girls' palms were sweating. More importantly, we all had to stand and our bodies could not stand still. So in the second half of the night, everyone decided to lean against the rocks and rest for a while. However, we still stood sideways, two by two, close to each other. Although this would increase the area exposed to the cold, it would also help everyone to rest and avoid back and leg pain from standing.

Yunwen was right next to me. After a whole night of torture, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she lay down beside me and fell asleep on my shoulder. I stayed awake all night because I was afraid that if the rain stopped completely, some wild animals in the dark would come out and pose a threat to us.

It was a rough night. It was damp, cold, hungry, and restless. It lasted until daytime...

I finally fell asleep when the sun rose. It felt like just a short nap, so I got up quickly. The girls were exhausted and were still lying down. Only Song Bailu was like me, she was so terrified that she didn't close her eyes all night.

"Zhou Bo, what should we do now? We won't survive here for long without rescue." Song Bailu said.

"Don't say discouraging words. The most necessary condition for survival in the wild is confidence. Once confidence collapses, it's time to wait for death. So don't let your pessimistic words affect morale. Can you do that?" I asked.

Song Bailu thought for a moment, covering her body with her hands, and then nodded tremblingly.

Our talking also woke up the other two girls, who were also having a light sleep because it was too cold and the sleeping place was uncomfortable.

"It's so annoying. It's hard and damp here. It's not a place for people to live. I still want to go back to the beach. At least I can sleep there." Song Yingchun said irritably.

I was too lazy to pay attention to her, so I sighed and said, "Okay, we've finished complaining. If we don't want to die, we have to act quickly."

"What can we do now?" Zhang Yunwen asked.

Now all the girls are only wearing clothes that cover their modesty. The most urgent task, of course, is to quickly get them some warm and slightly decent clothes to wear so that everyone can regain their mobility.

"Let's go find some firewood first. Mr. Li will start a fire. When the clothes are dry, I will explain to everyone what we should do." I said.

So everyone went to look for some firewood. It had been raining heavily for half the night and there was no dry firewood to be found on the slope. However, there were some relatively dry firewood and dead leaves on a slightly higher ground that had been exposed to the sun for a long time. After I found them, I used Song Bailu's glasses to focus the sunlight, and soon a fire started. As the fire grew, we added more firewood.

Here under the rock sheltering from the rain, my body began to warm up, and everyone held up their clothes to dry.

After about an incense stick of time, the clothes were basically dry, and everyone put them on and were ready to listen to me talk about what I needed to do.

"I also listened to everyone's feedback and added my own thoughts, so I sorted them out. Our current problems are as follows: First, the housing problem. There is no suitable place to sleep here; second, the problem of poisonous insects; third, the problem of food. In other words, it is not as difficult as we think for us to survive. If we can solve these three problems, all problems will be solved and we can survive." I said.

"It's easy to say, but how to do it?" Song Yingchun questioned.

"I will have a corresponding solution for each problem. My arrangements are as follows: Yunwen, if you are inconvenienced, just stay at home and watch the food to prevent wild animals from taking it away. Also, watch the fire to prevent the charcoal fire from going out. Blow the whistle immediately if there is any danger. Song Yingchun, you and your sister will be responsible for widening the mouth of the spring. You may need to use a lot of water in the future. Collect some rocks by the way. The more the better. I will go find food nearby. In addition, I smelled a pungent odor in the woods before. It should be the camphor tree. Camphor leaves can repel insects." I said.

"That's right! It's a very clever arrangement, Zhou Bo. I find that you are really thoughtful and considerate. Is this what a special forces soldier does? You take everything into consideration." My words gave Song Bailu a lot of confidence.

"Because a little mistake could mean death, we have to do this," I said.

But having said that, I still feel a sense of accomplishment when being praised, but I just don’t want to show it on my face.

After the tasks were assigned, I saw that they were doing their respective jobs, so I prepared to set off with my bayonet, following the marked route to collect food in the woods.

To be honest, I have strolled around all the places where there should be food, including the tall forest, the wild grass area nearby, and the cliff area not far away. We have eaten up all the food we should have. There is not even enough wild grass and vegetables to eat. It is indeed a problem. I was at a loss, and I even came up with the idea of ​​catching centipedes to eat.

But I don't have Hong Qigong's ability, so I'd better just think about it. There's no other way. I can only find another way, even though it's extremely dangerous.

I walked out from the tall tree forest area in another direction, and many new roads and new things that I didn’t recognize began to appear in the surrounding area. The road was muddy, and I accidentally saw a large footprint, the same one I saw the first time in the woods. My heart tightened. Could it be that I had reached someone’s nest?

I was about to retreat, but at that moment, I saw a group of trees full of small red fruits in front of me. The smell was tempting. I looked at the ground and saw ripe fruits all over. There was so much food, I couldn't miss it.

As I got closer, my nose, which was as sharp as a military dog's, could tell it was a jujube! Is this a jujube tree?

I ran over quickly, but I was so excited that I seemed to have disturbed something. I looked back and saw nothing, but the branches were moving without wind...

"Maybe it's just a squirrel or something. There's no need to scare myself. Maybe I haven't slept well recently and I'm always in a trance." I comforted myself.

Most of the jujubes on the ground and on the trees were ripe, so I hurriedly picked them up and put them into my bag. I kept the ones that were not yet ripe.

A bag full of it, which should last for a while. It’s life-saving food!

He took some food with him, picked up some dry wood, and found some leaves from a camphor tree. Then he turned around and rushed to the rock where they were hiding from the rain to look for the girls.

When Yunwen saw me come back, she hurried over to help and took the bag of dates and camphor leaves wrapped in my clothes. I walked over carrying a lot of dry branches.

Then I saw that the living spring water outlet had been widened to a sufficient width and height, and there were many stones on the ground. I thought the two sisters had completed the task I assigned them. What surprised me was that at this moment, I saw Yingchun and Bailu fiddling with the soil. What was even more strange was that it seemed that Yingchun was fiddling with it, and Bailu was cooperating with her seriously...
