Chapter 160 Training 8
Hearing Zhuang Huiya talking about the drinking water problem, Mai Dongzi already had an idea in her mind, but she didn't say it directly.
"There is a lake near the cave." Mai Dongzi said.
"I know that there are organisms in the lake that can serve as a water source, but the lake water is not drinkable. We don't have a water purifier. At least it has to be boiled before drinking, but we don't have a container to boil it in." Zhuang Huiya had obviously thought about this problem carefully.
Seeing that he was worried, Mai Dongzi gave him a hint: "Among the things we brought, there is one thing that can be used to boil water."
What did they carry? What did they carry with them? My cousin had given me such a clear reminder, so of course Zhuang Huiya thought about it immediately.
He pulled at his shirt, and felt the temperature, which had dropped by five or six degrees, and said bitterly, "It's so cold, I can't stand it without clothes, but it's okay after I get pregnant."
The cousin and brother talked as they quickened their pace, wanting to get back to the cave before dark.
But it got dark earlier than they expected, and they were only halfway through their return journey when it was completely dark.
The transition between day and night on the planet Liwa is extremely fast. It takes only five minutes for the sky to go from dusk to night, leaving no chance for people to prepare.
After it got dark, the cousins didn't dare to walk as fast as before, but walked forward step by step.
Mai Dongzi can use her mental power to "clear the way", and this level of darkness does not affect her mental "vision".
But they were here for training, and in no hurry, she preferred to let Zhuang Huiya find his way on his own rather than letting him rely on her.
There were almost no clouds in the sky, and there was no light pollution on this half-abandoned planet. The sky was full of stars, which did not illuminate the planet, but made people feel the light.
Fortunately, this darkness was short-lived. After about ten minutes, two moons, one large and one small, rose in the sky, one after the other.
What surprised Mai Dongzi was that the light from the two moons was brighter than the moon on Mercury.
Under this kind of light, the two of them could clearly see things that were relatively close, and their climbing speed was almost the same as in the daytime.
"The temperature is dropping very quickly. I wonder how the others are doing and whether they are fishing." Cousin Zhuang Huiya put on the hood of her combat uniform.
After dark, the strong wind died down a lot. Zhuang Huiya estimated that the wind was only level 10 at most. But the wind gradually became cold and blew on my face. Although it was not unbearably cold, it felt bad.
"Moonlight and Durant both have experience in wilderness survival training, and there are so many of them, as long as we are careful, there will be no problem." Mai Dongzi said confidently.
The Moonlight Group took away most of the Phantom Team members, so how could Mai Dongzi let go completely?
Therefore, the actions of the Moonlight Department were always within Mai Dongzi's "sight", and Mai Dongzi naturally knew what they had done in the past hour.
It's not easy to catch fish without going into the water.
The Moonlight System wanted to use stones as hidden weapons to kill the mutant fish, but the mutant fish they killed would immediately become food for other mutant fish. They couldn't wait for them to catch them, and they had nothing to catch.
After several failed attempts, the Moonlight Department asked everyone to separate into pairs and look around for usable tools.
Whether the tools were found or not, Mai Dongzi didn't know, but they happened to meet the monster drinking water by the lake.
Needless to say, they didn't catch any fish, but they did kill seven level three or four monsters.
After hunting down the alien beast, Moonlight and his team returned to the 껚 Cave.
At Maidongzi's suggestion, they picked up all the big rocks along the way and piled them outside the cave, leaving only one hole for people to enter, which more or less blocked the cold wind when entering the cave.
When Mai Dongzi and Zhuang Huiya walked back to the cave, the Moonlight Group was about to rise.
Each of them has learned several primitive ways of taking things, and with the materials they have on hand, drilling wood is the most practical way.
"Captain, we must find a way to get water." Moonlight said.
"Then do you have any idea?" Mai Dongzi asked.
Moonlight's sentence is not a question but a statement, which means he already has an idea.
"We can use our shirts to fetch water from the lake and boil it." Moonlight said without hesitation.
They would never dare to drink water that has not been boiled before.
Mai Dongzi glanced at the Moonlight Department with admiration. Their combat suits were waterproof and it would be no problem to wrap them in water and put them on the stove.
Zhuang Huiya needed her reminder to remember it, but the Moonlight System had already had an idea.
"We can't stay here forever. We have to head towards our destination in two days at most. No one can guarantee that we will find water on the way. Have you thought about storing some water?" Mai Dongzi asked.
She asked this question to everyone.
They can take off their clothes to heat water, but they cannot use them to store water because they must wear combat uniforms to ensure their own safety.
The Phantom Team kept silent. In such a barren place, they couldn't find anything that could serve as a container.
"Let's go to the waterside to see if there is any clay that can be fired to make ceramic glue." Zhuang Huiya said.
He is a person who has carefully studied his cousin's live survival game.
"Even if there is firewood, we don't have enough firewood to burn," said Mai Dongzi.
Firing pottery requires a lot of firewood. Although they picked up a lot of dead branches from the basin between the hills, the quantity was not enough for them to fire pottery.
And they don't have the time.
"We can just burn a few pieces." Moonlight also thought this was a good idea.
"You can look for it after daybreak, but I have a simpler method. We can go to the lakeside to process the prey and boil water. Roasting the prey in front of the cave will easily attract strange beasts." Mai Dongzi said without further ado.
Hearing their captain say that she already has a solution, the Phantom Team members immediately cheered up.
They didn't know much about the situation in other places, but the surrounding hilly area was desolate. If they hadn't been thrown into the lake, they had no idea where to find drinking water.
But without tools and containers, drinking water is the biggest problem. As long as the drinking water problem is solved, they can develop purposefully.
Mai Dongzi was afraid that the monsters would be active at night, so he didn't dare to leave some people in the cave. In addition, they had killed so many prey, and the more people there were, the faster they could handle it, so he took all the members of the Phantom Team away.
