Crossing the famine to find the white moonlight

While exploring the wasteland, Ye Wan keenly noticed that several birds frequently flew in the same direction. She knew that bird movements often led people to resources, especially water. In such a desolate place, finding a water source would greatly improve the team's situation.

Using the system's bio-tracking function, Ye Wan analyzed the direction and frequency of the birds' flight. The system's predictions also suggested a high probability of water or vegetation suitable for animal life. A glimmer of hope ignited in her heart, and she immediately decided to lead a group of young and middle-aged members to explore the area in the direction of the birds' flight. She briefly explained her plan and potential discoveries to everyone, encouraging them to maintain their confidence.

Led by Ye Wan, the team followed the direction the birds had flown. Along the way, she urged everyone to carefully observe their surroundings, keeping an eye out for any signs of water. As they advanced, the surrounding vegetation began to grow slightly, the cracks in the ground became less severe, and even a few low bushes appeared.

Seeing these changes, everyone's mood gradually lifted, and a hint of anticipation appeared on their faces. Ye Wan turned around and encouraged everyone, "Everyone, continue to be patient. The appearance of these plants may be a sign of water. We are not far from our goal!"

Finally, after several hours of walking, they discovered a few more lush plants in a low-lying area, and the air around them began to feel moist. Ye Wan led everyone further forward when her sight was suddenly drawn to a flickering light not far away—a small puddle, clear and translucent, with a few weeds growing around it, proving that the soil and environment here were suitable for plant life.

The moment they saw the puddle, everyone in the group couldn't help but cheer. Many people excitedly ran towards it, scooping up water to drink. Ye Wan quickly reminded everyone, "Everyone, be careful, take your time, and make sure the water quality is safe first. The puddle here may be small, but if we use it sparingly, it will be enough to allow us to stay in this wasteland for a while longer."

She patiently instructed everyone to first filter the water with a cloth or strainer to remove impurities and ensure the safety of the water source. She then assigned the young and middle-aged members of the team to dig pits to store water for future use. Everyone worked in a clear and orderly manner, with clear division of labor.

After confirming the water source's safety, Ye Wan arranged for everyone to set up camp near the puddle for rest. She urged everyone to control their water consumption, prioritizing the elderly and children, who were the most vulnerable, to get enough water. After several days of marching through the wilderness, everyone was exhausted. The discovery of this puddle was undoubtedly a godsend, bringing renewed hope to the entire team.

Ye Wan counted her supplies near the water source and calculated each person's daily water allotment to ensure the team could sustain the area for a longer period. She also continued to observe the direction of bird movement, secretly speculating that if she followed the bird's migration route, she might discover even more resources.

That night, the team camped near the puddle. Many gathered around the fire, their faces filled with relief and joy as they discussed their discovery. An elderly man excitedly said, "Miss Wan, we are truly blessed by you. If you hadn't noticed the flight paths of those birds, we wouldn't have discovered this puddle!"

Ye Wan responded with a smile: "The most important thing is that everyone works together. Even if the environment is difficult, as long as we remain vigilant and hopeful, we will always find the resources to survive." Her humility and composure make people admire her even more. She not only has excellent observation skills, but also shows meticulous care in every detail.

After a night of rest, Ye Wan reorganized the team, assigning them to take turns guarding the water source to ensure its proper distribution. She also advised everyone to explore the surrounding land, centering around the puddle, to identify other resources. She personally led the young men in a food search around the water source, discovering several drought-resistant wild vegetables and root plants, which provided additional food supplies for the team.

Over the course of several days, under Ye Wan's guidance, everyone gradually adapted to the wasteland environment, mastered more survival skills, and significantly improved team morale. Under her guidance, everyone not only learned how to conserve resources but also how to help each other in extreme environments.
