Chapter 389: Concealment
Lin Rui was slightly stunned and said, "The water source is not safe, you better be careful." ”
The archer glanced at him, "How do you know?"
"I was there last night, and that Brazilian beast was guarding there. He doesn't care if you have a bracelet or if you can be a threat to him. Anyone who approaches that area will be poisoned by him. Lin Rui shrugged.
"It's Dwayne Johnson, you can run away alive from him?" said the archer.
"Not only that, but I also hurt him. Injuries only make this bastard more dangerous, and more reckless. Lin Rui nodded, "If you're going, you'd better be careful." ”
The archer nodded, "Where are you going?"
"Deep in the jungle, see if you can find other water or food. We have a week to go. Lin Rui said helplessly, "It should be relatively safe in the depths of the jungle now." Most of them are still in the surrounding area and have not made it deep into the heart of the jungle, and are not familiar with the conditions there. Those who get there early will at least get acquainted with the terrain sooner. This will have a slight advantage in the next confrontation, even if it is only a small advantage, it will also be advantageous. ”
The archer nodded, turned and walked into the woods.
Lin Rui didn't follow, he knew that this archer still wanted to try his luck at the water source. But he didn't want to go to that place again anyway, and he preferred to go deeper into the woods. So after Lin Rui left this lonely archer, he continued to walk into the depths of this wood.
This time he was lucky, he found a few trees with bugs. Several fat bugs were successfully captured from the tree, which resembled silkworms, with smooth bodies and fat growth, each one almost the thickness of a finger.
Lin Rui was hungry, so he grabbed the insect and bit it. The wriggling bugs look disgusting, but they don't taste bad. And there is a fresh smell of leaves. In the wild, bugs are the best food besides snakes and rats because these bugs are high in protein and are absolutely non-toxic.
It would actually be better if it could be roasted over fire, but Lin Rui really couldn't care about it so much. After eating a few worms in a row, he felt a lot more comfortable in his stomach. The extreme hunger had finally subsided a bit, and at least there was something in the stomach to digest.
After eating something, Lin Rui continued on the road, and along the way he met several eliminated contestants, most of whom were looking for someone like him wearing a bracelet. However, Lin Rui alertly avoided them and continued to move forward. Finally, in a forest, Lin Rui stopped. He looked at the surrounding terrain, this place was in a relatively high position, some of the surrounding conditions could be observed here, and the tall trees around were relatively sparse, which happened to give some space for some low shrubs to survive. So the shrubs grow a little densely here.
Lin Rui nodded with satisfaction, it was not a way for him to wander around outside like this, maybe he could make a hiding place here.
He searched the neighborhood and found a relatively hidden location, then dug a foxhole.
I have to say that digging a pit with bare hands is indeed a tiring job, but Lin Rui still gritted his teeth and completed it. And because this is only a temporary shelter, there is no need to be too formal, and the gutters and grenade protection slots can be eliminated. Lin Rui just wanted to dig out a one-man bunker that was enough for him to curl up and rest without being discovered. So it's more about concealment than protection.
After the hole was dug, Lin Rui covered the top with a layer of branches and soil, and after beating it firmly, he used the fallen leaves in the woods as a camouflage. He carefully walked up to it himself, tried it, and the effect was not bad. Not to mention that there are very few people in this place, and even if someone walks on it, it is not easy to find it, and there is a bunker underneath.
After doing this, Lin Rui bowed down and got into this bunker. Only then did he completely relax, hiding some dead grass and fallen leaves above the cover. Lin Rui leaned into the bunker in a posture that was not half lying and half sitting, and took a nap for a while. It was the most comfortable sleep he'd had since competing in Waynes.
Now that he has a relatively safe hiding place, Lin Rui's next time is to go out every day to find food and water, he knows that at this stage, those contestants still have the strength to toss, as long as it takes a few days, they will all languish one by one. As long as you can endure loneliness at this stage and rest well. When that time comes, he will be afraid of no one.
He found several trees nearby, full of some kind of nut. It should be an acorn-like nut that resembles a silkworm. The exterior is hard-shelled, brownish-red, with inner kernels like peanut kernels and rich starch inside. Lin Rui chewed it, a little bitter but edible.
As for the water source, he also found a mountain stream, but the water in it was not clean. Lin Rui managed to dig a small pit not far from the water source. Every day, water slowly seeps into the pit, which is equivalent to filtering the surrounding soil. There wasn't much water, but it was barely enough for him to consume for a day.
The first day or two was calm. Lin Rui was well rested, and the injury in his abdomen was gradually recovering. But by the third day, this calm was broken, and other contestants began to appear in the depths of the woods, which had been quiet. Most of them were extremely tired, hungry, and almost all of them were wounded. There are winners who wear bracelets in the first stage, and there are eliminators who try to save the defeat.
Almost every day, there are fierce battles, and the depths of the dense forest unfold. What started as a battle for the bracelet has evolved into a battle for food and water. Most of the time, Lin Rui was hidden in the foxhole and did not move. Only when you get food and water, come out and move.
His location is relatively hidden, and it is difficult to spot him even if there are other contestants nearby. And he can hide in the bunker and have an unobstructed view of what's going on outside. But on the fourth day, things changed. A few people took root in the position of the mountain stream and could not leave.
This is tantamount to cutting off Lin Rui's water source in disguise, which makes Lin Rui very annoyed. So he sneaked up on the three of them, and he found that the three of them were the three contestants of Morningstar. Sneike with Scarface, Kane the tall and skinny, and Johnson who is as strong as a bison.
Johnson appeared to be blind in one eye, tied with a filthy strip of cloth and covered in blood. The wound seemed to be inflamed and swollen to leave, but he was still fierce and irritable. Even the equally aggressive Sneker shone away from him. No one was trying to provoke this dangerous beast
