The fog here obviously won't dissipate anytime soon, and the fact that Wang Ping is awake now means that Wang Xiaoxiao and the others probably aren't in a very serious situation.
I let Wang calm down for a while. After catching his breath, he calmed himself down and stood up. Although his legs were still a little weak and he didn't have much strength, he didn't feel any other discomfort. I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sihai, what are you doing here? Where are the rest of the people?"
When Wang Ping asked again, I quickly told him about my worries at the camp.
Wang Ping sighed after hearing this: "When we arrived here, we just felt dizzy. I didn't feel anything else was wrong, but who knew I would faint. If you hadn't come to save us, this matter would have been difficult to handle."
I nodded in agreement. After all, the fact that the gas wasn't deep in the air didn't mean it wasn't poisonous.
"Fortunately, you are all alright. Once they wake up, I can go out and bring those foreigners back. However, this place still seems a bit dangerous, so you should all stay put. If there is anything I need, I can handle it myself."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ping immediately shook his head nervously: "How can that be? We've all been poisoned, how can you not feel anything?"
After he finished speaking, Wang Ping seemed very puzzled, and then immediately looked at me with a very confused expression: "Yes, we were all poisoned. How did you get in? Was there still that fog outside when you rescued us?"
I nodded: "Yes, everything around us was white at the time. I was so worried about you that I didn't think about anything else."
After hearing this, Wang Ping's expression became even more puzzled: "Then how come you weren't poisoned?"
Actually, I was a little confused just now, but I was too nervous and ignored it. But now that I think about it, almost everyone else has been poisoned, so why am I okay?
"Maybe the fog wasn't so thick when I arrived, but never mind that for now. I'll get some more dew for them to soak their throats, and then I have other things to do."
Wang Ping also stood up and supported himself, and followed me to collect dew.
More than an hour later, everyone woke up.
The first thing Wang Xiaoxiao did when she woke up was frantically search for Tianci. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw me sitting beside her with Tianci in my arms.
Xiao Qiang and Xu Wei were also pale-faced, and they were all somewhat frightened when they saw that it was me.
"It's alright now, everyone's fine. It's just that none of us expected there to be such toxic fog in this place. Fortunately, we escaped unharmed."
After waking up, Chen Jian was still in a state of extreme anxiety, muttering, "The poison gas is right outside. I don't think we can set up camp here anymore. Otherwise, what will we do if we can't get out? If we go out, we'll get poisoned, and if we can't get back in, we'll get eaten by wild animals passing by. That would be such a tragic death!"
I shook my head: "It shouldn't be. There was no fog when we found this camp the first day. Maybe it's because you came too early today, so the fog hasn't dissipated yet. I'll observe carefully what happens next. There must be some pattern to it. As long as we can find the pattern of how the fog rises and dissipates, we won't have to deal with this again."
Wang Ping also stood aside, trying to comfort Chen Jian.
"Sihai is right. Actually, if we think about it another way, the fog here is also a kind of barrier for us. Think about it, the fog here is so powerful, so nothing from the outside can get here. As long as we set up camp here, neither the people of the Utas tribe nor those pirates who rushed to the island can get here. Even if they do come, as long as they enter this fog, they will definitely be paralyzed like us. Then, how we deal with them is up to us."
Chen Jian listened to Wang Ping's words, but his brows remained furrowed.
"But what you're saying doesn't help. We still have to get out of here, right? We can't just stay here forever. Even though this place is very safe and spacious enough, we can't just stay here eating tree bark and grass, can we? We have to go out and find food!"
Looking at Chen Jian's anxious appearance, I couldn't help but sigh.
"You're worrying too much, kid. Since we've decided to set up camp here, we definitely need to figure out how to get food. Besides, as I just said, this fog isn't there 24/7; it will eventually dissipate. As long as we find the right pattern, we can still get out. And I'm not poisoned, so maybe the fog won't work on me. I can find food by myself; I won't let you guys go hungry!"
Upon hearing that I wasn't poisoned, Chen Jian's eyes widened immediately, wanting to press for an explanation. However, I didn't have time to explain to him at that moment, because the foreigners were still waiting anxiously in the camp.
I've been out long enough; it's definitely not safe for those people to stay there.
Moreover, since we're already here, there are many things to deal with in the next couple of days, and time is of the essence.
After calming them down, I immediately left the camp and hurried back.
By the time I brought all those foreigners to this place, it was already dark.
This time, the fog finally dissipated.
That night, we had no choice but to sleep in the open air, with some campfires lit around us.
Fortunately, the weather wasn't very cold. They distributed wolf and rabbit skins to the children and women, while the rest of the men sat around the campfire.
Dinner was very simple; we caught two rabbits and made a big pot of soup.
This place is too far from the sea. If you want to go to the sea to collect seashells and fish to eat, it would be quite a hassle.
However, there is no other way now, so going to the beach to collect seashells and gather food is essential.
Wang Ping said that the weather is getting warmer and warmer now. The grove of short-legged birds and jicama that we found before should be lush and green now. We should go back there to take another look when we have some free time.
I actually wanted to go to the grove of trees with fruit trees to pick some fruit, since we haven't been able to get enough vitamins lately. Wang Xiaoxiao and Xiao Qiang's lips have started to peel.
The environment is so harsh, but we still have to survive, and we can't let these three hungry babies suffer.
