Chapter 1547 Cold and Hungry

The situation he was facing now was so difficult that it was even difficult to find an area to build a simple shelter, because everything he saw was white, and he was shivering with cold.

What frightened him even more was that at night, when he took out the waterproof cloth, he found that it had been completely frozen and covered with a layer of ice. Finally, he touched it lightly and the waterproof cloth cracked.

Then he thought about using fire to melt the ice on the waterproof cloth, but in the end, even with a flint, he was unable to successfully set up a fire.

On the one hand, it was difficult to find wood, and on the other hand, even if wood was found, the wood was full of water and difficult to ignite.

Such a sudden start caused him to die on the spot, and Qi Yuan shook his head helplessly.

This is fate!

No one knows what they will face. There will inevitably be a large number of people who will die directly at the beginning because of luck. This is something no one can predict, and it is also a risk that everyone needs to face.

The situation faced by young people is relatively much better.

There is water and shelter, but now the only thing missing is food. As long as he finds a stable source of food, he can gradually survive in the wilderness environment and get through the most difficult situation in the early stage.

There was no conversation all night, and everyone spent a night of fear. When they saw the dawn, they all felt hope in their hearts.

The young man did not sleep all night, and did not want to sleep again in the morning. He stood up directly and began to plan for the new day's survival. Now he must race against time and not waste any time.

However, before working, he still checked his own condition.

First of all, the injury on his arm and the foot that was sprained yesterday. He gently twisted his ankle and found that there was no obvious pain. Obviously, after a night of recovery, it was almost done.

As for the injury on the arm, there was no symptom of heavy bleeding, but there was still a faint pain, which still had a significant impact on cutting wood.

Moreover, he cut down several trees yesterday with the injury on his arm, which caused a small amount of blood to overflow from the wound at that time, and also made the injury heal more slowly.

Next, the arm must have been used many times, which would more or less cause secondary damage to the wound, which also made him a little worried.

Fortunately, the wound was not particularly deep, and the gauze and medicine prevented infection. Just be careful and it shouldn't have much impact.

While thinking in his heart, the young man began to explore the surroundings. He needed to start looking for food, which was also the top priority for survival.

First, he came to the stream to see if there were any fish or shrimp in it, but the result still disappointed him, because the stream was too small, only 30cm wide, and there were no fish or shrimp living in it.

However, in the future, he can follow the stream to see if there are larger streams, which may contain some fish and shrimp.

Then, the young man began to search in the surrounding jungle and accidentally found a wild fruit tree with some wild fruits the size of ping-pong balls growing on it. It was hard to tell what kind it was.

The young man picked one at random, took a bite, and his face changed drastically, and he spit it out. The sour and astringent taste was really unacceptable to him.

However, this is a kind of food after all, and judging from the fruits that fell on the ground, they should have been eaten by animals and birds, so they are probably edible.

So, he also picked some large, ripe wild fruits and collected them and brought them to the shelter.

Although wild fruits are not very delicious and cannot be used as food in the future, it is a good thing to find wild fruits, which means that there is indeed food around and the resources are relatively abundant, so he will not starve to death here.

Not long after, the young man found some mushroom food on the hillside below the shelter, but he didn't know whether this kind of fungus food can be eaten, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

It took him nearly a whole morning, but he didn't find any edible items. He just ate two wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, and he was inevitably a little depressed.

However, it was not completely without good news. When exploring the surroundings, he found a few scattered wild bamboos, which are the best materials in the wild and can solve a lot of troubles for him.

Whether it is building a shelter, building a fence to defend against wild beasts, or even weaving bamboo baskets, weaving traps, making daily necessities... Almost all aspects can be used.

So, the young man directly chopped a large bamboo and came back, first cut off a section of the bamboo tube, and made himself a cup for drinking water.

From yesterday to today, although he had found the stream, he had not drunk water.

Unless he was thirsty to a certain extent, he would never drink raw water that had not been boiled, which would likely lead to diarrhea and other problems.

Now that he had found the bamboo tube, he could use it to hold water and boil the water before drinking it.

He built a bracket on the fire, hung the bamboo tube on it, and then boiled it completely before the young man drank the first mouthful of water.

At the same time, he looked at the bamboo and some other ideas began to appear in his mind.

If the bamboo is split into bamboo pieces, it can be used to make some simple traps, and maybe some small animals can be caught.

He did it as soon as he said it. Although his technique was not very skillful, he still used a few hours to make five or six very rough traps.

Then he placed these five or six traps in areas where wild animals might appear, such as the ground next to wild fruit trees; areas with wild animal feces, etc.

If he was lucky enough, he might be able to catch some wild animals, which would also provide food in a short time.

However, he still needed to continue looking for edible food, after all, no one knew whether the traps could catch animals or how many they could catch.

In the afternoon, the young man assigned himself a task. First, he continued to expand the search range to find edible plants, and second, he collected firewood on the way to ensure that the fire could continue to burn at night.

By the way, he could also collect some more wood. He planned to renovate the shelter and block one of the ventilation holes to form a closed shelter to improve the safety of the residence.

Then this time, he had very good luck when he went out. He actually found a special plant a few hundred meters away.

In fact, he didn't know what kind of plant it was, but he saw a squirrel digging the rhizome of this plant to eat, so he threw an axe directly at it. Although he didn't kill the squirrel, he snatched the plant.
