I'm so tired of traveling all the time

The difference between having a shelter or not is too huge, even if it is such a simple place, even if it is just piled up leaves.

Wen Liang slept very well last night. Although he didn’t have a mattress or bedding, he was satisfied as he didn’t have to be exposed to the cold wind!

When I woke up this morning, apart from some sore muscles, I felt pretty good.

"Now we have a preliminary shelter, and the next step is to collect food and water."

The food was still manageable, and compared to Chuck's experience, Wen Liang sighed more than once that although it was also very hard, he had a lucky start with the system, and it was much easier for him to survive.

Whether it’s the daily blind box delivery or the small island you live on, you can find a lot of food.

"Open the blind box!"

The express box disappeared, and a small steel milk pan appeared in the storage space. It looked very thick and solid, as if it was used to make baby food.

"Hey, this time it's not food?!"

But this thing is no worse than food, and it even seems to be very useful!

After all, judging from the past two days, food is relatively easy to collect and I won't starve to death. What I need most now is a stable source of water.

It was not clear whether there was any water on the island, but Wen Liang looked at the small milk pot and remembered the method of boiling the sea to get water.

However, you need to collect enough firewood first, then boil sea water, condense the distilled water vapor, collect it and drink it.

But it is easier said than done.

In half a morning, Wen Liang collected a lot of branches and leaves, and even picked up a lot of large stones near the cliff.

After returning, they built a new "stove" next to the shelter using stones and sticks.

Let's just call it a stove.

Use stones as a base to prevent the supporting wooden sticks from being burned off due to prolonged burning.

The two sides are still supported by wooden sticks, but they are a little further away from the flame, and the pot can be placed on the campfire more stably.

Next, Wen Liang tore open the large bread bag, leaving a pointed corner, and placed it directly above the milk pot. He tied the top with a thin hemp rope and hung it up, then surrounded it with branches to support it.

In this way, you can put seawater into the milk pot, heat it over a bonfire and evaporate it. The water vapor rises and is blocked by the plastic bag, then condenses into small water droplets.

The small water droplets then slide down the inclined wall of the plastic bag and flow into the tank.

But you must be careful during the process, and keep the plastic bag away from the fire. I didn't pay much attention at the beginning, and the flame burned it, and it immediately wrinkled a little!

The first time he tried to distill fresh water, Wen Liang stood by and watched the flame boil the seawater and the "heat" rise until it hit the plastic bag.

Slowly, drops of water formed and slowly slid down. Because the plastic bag was not flat and the area was small, some steam flew out of the plastic cover, and some steam was blocked and formed into water condensation beads. Sometimes a gust of wind blew, the plastic cover swayed, and the water drops would fly out, which was a pity, but fortunately most of them could be packed in.

After waiting for more than half an hour, there was finally half a centimeter of distilled water in the tank.

Wen Liang couldn't wait to pick it up and take a sip to taste it.

It doesn't have too much of the strange smell of sea water, but it's not delicious either, it's just not too salty in the mouth.

Wen Liang was still very happy inside, as he finally had a stable source of fresh water.

The remaining powder after distillation is the crude salt left after boiling seawater. It can be mixed with wood ash and filtered to obtain almost usable salt.

Wen Liang spent the entire afternoon distilling seawater, and from time to time he went into the woods to collect firewood. He also picked up a lot of food when he went to fetch seawater.

Moreover, when distilling water, Wen Liang no longer stayed there all the time, but left occasionally.

Apart from collecting firewood, he also "foraged for food" on the beach. It must be said that with the tools, it was relatively easy for him to find food.

By the time night fell, Wen Liang had already obtained two large jars of water, which he had put into mineral water bottles.

At this rate of water replacement, plus the coconut, it was barely enough for me to drink, but it took me time.

However, distilling water cannot be stopped until other water sources are found.

As night fell, Wen Liang cooked two small pots of seafood with distilled water. After barely filling his stomach, he went into his own hut.

How could he, who is used to modern life, fall asleep so early? He took out his mobile phone, but there was no network or signal, and the battery was still 37% left. He decided to play a single-player game!

Listening to the sea breeze and watching the waves, lying in the "house" with pure natural wind, it is simply a real skin-changing scene! The game is also very fun to play!

Wen Liang fell asleep without knowing when, and when he opened his eyes again it was already tomorrow.

"Open the blind box!"

The dim light faded, and a familiar object appeared in the storage space. The name of the object also appeared in his mind - [Chuck's Multi-purpose Knife].

Wen Liang took a look at it and put it away. It was still useful and could be used as a substitute for a fruit knife.

Today's tasks: collect firewood, gather food, distill water at night, and explore deep into the woods in the morning.

Wen Liang ate some stock for breakfast and went into the woods with his axe and hammer.

A cawing sound was heard, Wen Liang looked up and saw many seabirds flying in the sky.

Wen Liang smacked his lips unconsciously, he wanted to eat meat!

It's just that there is no way to catch seabirds right now, so eating bird meat is just a thought, but...

Since there are birds, there must be bird eggs!

There is probably a bird's nest in the woods. Once you find it, you can have bird eggs to eat.

There might even be bird meat to eat!

If we think more optimistically, since there are seabirds, then it is very likely that they are not too far from land? Even if it is not land, there may be larger islands, and there may be humans there!

But now it's just a thought. Let alone making a boat, even for a raft, Wen Liang doesn't know which rope to tie.

It would be better for him to survive here first. He didn't believe that God would bring him here and then leave him alone...

The battery of his mobile phone was almost gone, so Wen Liang was reluctant to use it carelessly. Fortunately, he still had a lot of pens and notebooks, so he started to write a diary.

[First day of exploring the deep woods:]

In total, we found about 60 meters of vines, a large bundle of palm leaves, two dead trees, and nearly three cubic meters of dry firewood. We also found a wild grape forest and picked ten bunches to taste.

Grapes are high in sugar, which can satisfy your hunger and replenish your body with water.

A few seafood, two large bundles of kelp, and a bottle of distilled water.

[Second day of exploring the deep woods:]

I found four cubic meters of dry firewood and picked fifty bunches of grapes. Parentheses: The grapes were unexpectedly delicious, so I picked some more and kept them.

Collect some hay and use it to make your bed, start a fire, or filter. It's like killing two birds with one stone.

A little seafood, a grouper, and two bottles of distilled water.

[Exploring the Deep Woods Day 3:]

We found three cubic meters of dry firewood, about sixty meters of dead vines of varying thickness, a large pile of hay, and about thirty kilograms of grapes.

I found a durian tree on the island, but I don’t know how it got there. Could it have been brought by a bird?

Climb the tree and pick durian tomorrow!

【Day 4 on the island:】

The durian tree is not very tall, but it is very "dangerous". If you are not careful, you may get pricked. The durian taste is not very strong, so pick a few to taste!

At noon, we finally passed through the woods and reached the middle part of the island...

Wen Liang, who had been writing in his diary for a few days, put down his pen and sighed. He felt that he was a little abnormal.

Who is a serious person who keeps a diary?

When he first came to this island, Wen Liang climbed to the top of the mountain and looked around, and found that there were two small hills on the island.

In addition to the cliff he climbed, there was a taller mountain in the distance with more lush vegetation.

In between the two is a small low-lying basin. Because it is sandwiched between two small hills, it is not greatly affected by typhoons and has dense vegetation.

At this time, Wen Liang had just arrived at the edge of the basin, which was also the big circle in the center of the island. There were lush trees here, and the light shone through the dense leaves, casting mottled light that made the environment look very dark.

When he came here, Wen Liang heard more noises. It seemed that there were many other animals on this island.

For safety reasons, Wenliang explored more slowly and cautiously.

[Fifth day of exploring the depths of the island:]

There are more species of animals and plants in the center of the island, and more available supplies. Fruit plants include coconuts, grapes, pineapples, bananas, durian, mangoes, lemons, etc. There are also some that Wen Liang has seen but never eaten.

It's simply a fruit feast, and fruit freedom is achieved in an instant! It can be said that the demand for food and water is greatly reduced, and fruits can completely solve most of them!

In addition to fruits, Wen Liang actually discovered wild rice, which made him very happy. Eating seafood and fruits every day without staple food was really hard to bear.

Not to mention that we are not full anymore, and now we have an extra staple food, which is really a blessing from heaven.

The ears of wild rice are not large and there are not many of them, but their presence represents hope.

I don’t know how long I will stay here. If it’s as long as Chuck in the movie, it will be several years or even more than ten years!

If we assume the worst and really have to wait for more than ten years, then the rice will be precious!

The fact that rice can grow here means that there is no problem with the soil environment. Wen Liang can use the collected rice as seeds to cultivate fields and plant rice... Then there will be a sustainable food source!

If you find any fruits, you can take time out every day to take care of them and weed them. Fruits are very important food supplements!

Going further in, at the foot of the highest peak, Wen Liang actually discovered a "stream"!
