Chapter 293: Redeem
for Real Watermelon Jiang Yuzhi was not the only one in this situation. For example, Wan Shun and Wang Zhong had consumed a lot of energy and the water in their jugs was almost gone. Although they had shared a lot of water, it was not a long-term solution. They would run out of water one day. What would they do when they ran out of water?
She thought she had found a field of watermelons that could temporarily quench everyone's thirst, but she never thought that it was poisonous, which disappointed everyone.
The happier she was at the beginning, the more disappointed she became. Her body also became anxious, and many people showed symptoms of dehydration.
Seeing this, Lin Baoer was also very anxious. She didn't mind redeeming water from the system mall for everyone, but what reason should she give?
The things she had taken out before had already made everyone suspicious. If she took out so much water out of thin air, wouldn't everyone think she was a monster?
Or she could use her identity to threaten others not to tell others, but there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. Maybe the secret would be revealed by accident. She didn't dare to take the risk.
Moreover, she didn't fully understand the character of these people, so she didn't dare to act recklessly.
Thinking about it made Lin Baoer even more upset.
She poured some water into her palm and put it in front of Xiaofen.
Xiaofen occasionally needed to replenish water, but it was very little and it was not a big deal.
"Is there any more water?" Lin Zhishen saw this scene, walked over and handed over the water bottle, "If there is no more, drink mine."
Lin Baoer looked up at his chapped lips, pursed his lips, and shook his head, "Enough."
But the wrinkles between his eyebrows could not be smoothed out.
Seeing her in a daze, Lin Zhishen followed her gaze and looked over. After scanning around, he said with a little feeling: "Are you worried that other people have no water to drink?"
Lin Baoer was stunned, and she didn't intend to lie to him, so she nodded.
"It's inevitable. We've been delayed for too long." Lin Zhishen's eyes darkened, "If it was originally planned..."
"What's wrong with it being planned?" Lin Baoer looked at her in confusion.
Even if they didn't delay those days, the water they had wouldn't last until they got out of the desert. There was nothing they could do. After all, it was impossible for each of them to carry several buckets of water. It was unrealistic.
They had initially expected to find water resources along the way. As long as they could replenish the water needed by the human body, they wouldn't ask for anything else.
And Yu Sheng had also said that although there was a lack of water in the desert, many plants could produce water, and they could collect water when it rained, so they could get through it anyway. But who would have thought that after that rain, it never rained again.
And they didn't come across any plants that could obtain water, which surprised and puzzled Yu Sheng.
Originally, he should have come across plants like cacti on his route. There is a small amount of water stored in the cacti. As long as he could find them, he could obtain water resources. Not only that, the fruits of the cacti are edible. As long as they could find them, they could alleviate their current predicament.
But he just couldn't find them.
Lin Zhishen lowered his eyes and shook his head for a long time. "Nothing."
He didn't say much, and Lin Baoer didn't ask any more questions.
Of course, there was good news along the way. Xiaosong and Uncle Qiao's injuries had improved a lot. At least Xiaosong could walk on the ground for a while without being carried by others all the time, and Uncle Qiao was awake a lot longer, which made everyone tired but also a little happy.
Just when Lin Baoer was at a loss, she wanted to get up, but she was suddenly tripped by a stone and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Lin Zhishen supported her in time and did not fall straight down.
"Are you okay?" Lin Zhishen was worried, and he lowered his eyes to look at her ankle. When he found that she could walk without any problem, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Be careful, the boat will straighten itself when it reaches the bridge."
Lin Baoer moved her legs in his arms, nodded when she heard it, and her eyes inadvertently saw the smile of greed for wild watermelon, and her heart moved slightly.
Suddenly, she looked up at Lin Zhishen, hesitant, "Ah Shen."
"Hmm?" Lin Zhishen tilted his head to look at her.
"Come with me." She pulled Lin Zhishen directly behind the sand and stones.
Wild watermelons were spreading all over the area, not only in front of the sand and gravel, but also in the back.
"Ah Shen, turn around." She said.
Lin Zhishen looked at her quietly for a while, and without asking, he turned his back to her.
After seeing him turn around, Lin Baoer exchanged a watermelon from the system mall. The heavy watermelon fell into her palm. She held the watermelon and compared it with the watermelon on the wild vine. The size was not much different, but the watermelon she exchanged was greener, and the marks on it were all horizontal, while the wild watermelon was vertical.
After placing the watermelon next to the wild watermelon, she said, "You can turn around now."
Lin Zhishen turned around and saw two more watermelons in front of him. His eyebrows moved slightly, but he didn't ask why there was suddenly a different one. He just whispered with thin lips, "What do you need me to do?"
"Open this one." Lin Baoer pointed to the watermelon she redeemed from the system mall.
Lin Zhishen opened the watermelon as she was told. The red flesh made his mouth water, and the sweet fragrance instantly rushed into the noses of the two people, making them salivate.
The red flesh was covered with black seeds, and the colors were distinct.
"Open this one." She pointed to the wild watermelon.
Lin Zhishen opened the other one without complaint. After opening them, anyone would choose the watermelon with red flesh and plenty of moisture after comparing the two.
"Which one would you choose?" Lin Baoer looked at him with a smile.
Lin Zhishen chose the watermelon with red flesh without hesitation.
Lin Baoer nodded and pointed at the watermelon with red flesh, "Do you think they would believe me if I told them that this one was also found in there?"
Lin Zhishen thought about it for a while and understood what Lin Baoer meant. He looked at Lin Baoer deeply and said thoughtfully, "It requires the cooperation of Yu Sheng and Si Xu."
If the two of them acknowledged it, no one else would say that they didn't believe it.
"Then do you think they are trustworthy?" Lin Baoer asked again.
This time Lin Zhishen didn't answer quickly, but there was an extra smile in his eyes.
What Lin Baoer meant by this was a disguised acknowledgement that she believed in him, otherwise she wouldn't have called him over directly and wasn't afraid that he would tell others.
This was very useful to Lin Zhishen.
He hummed softly, scooped a small piece of melon pulp with his fingers and put it into his mouth, narrowing his eyes in pleasure, "Even if they are not credible, I believe Baoer can make them credible."
Hearing this, Lin Baoer smiled, "Then you can help me keep watch."
The wild vines in front are not easy to touch under the sight of everyone, so we can only cut in from here.
