Lin Rui woke up in a grogginess, he found himself curled up in the bushes, and he didn't know how long he had been unconscious. The blood on the forehead and face of the net had long since been dried by the wind. He carefully looked at the movement around him, and when he was sure that no one was there, he moved his body.

Every part of his body hurt from the beatings, and the bruises and swelling on his legs and arms still made him a little uncomfortable. He squinted at the sky, which still seemed to be bright. He didn't know if he was in a coma all day or an hour. I just feel so thirsty.

He struggled to his feet and moved his body, remembering that he had fled all the way here after a fight with Sneck. As for when he fainted, even he couldn't remember. Fortunately, this place he knew. Because he found a tree with a secret mark he had carved before.

In order to avoid getting lost in the unfamiliar jungle, he often leaves a small mark on some trees. Outsiders can't see it, but he can use these secret notes to help him remember the way. The tree that Lin Rui found had a downward arrow carved into it, indicating that there was a water source in the low-lying part of the downhill slope of this place.

Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief, he was very glad of his luck, this is really good news, when he was on the verge of a coma, he accidentally stumbled and actually came here. Anyway, just have water. The clothes on his body had already been scraped and tattered by the branches, Lin Rui simply took them off and threw them on the ground, then leaned down to look at the surrounding terrain and walked in the direction of the water source.

The water source is simply a puddle, and the water in it is not a spring or a mountain stream. Rather, it is the rainwater that accumulates at the time of the rain, and the puddle is still floating on the surface of the leaves, and the water looks dirty and muddy.

However, Lin Rui couldn't care about anything else, he ran a few steps in a row, and he wanted to fall into the water and drink a good drink. Just then, an arrow came and nailed it to his feet with a "poof".

Lin Rui's movements paused, and he turned around. The man on the other side was covered in camouflaged leaves and dead branches, and he stood there, thinking it was just a dead tree without looking closely.

"Indians. Lin Rui frowned, "Why are you?"

"If I were you, I wouldn't drink this water. The archer, who had Indian roots, said calmly.

Lin Rui frowned, "What's wrong?"

"Don't you know? Yesterday afternoon, several planes took turns spreading medicine over the woods, and the organizing committee polluted all the water in the area. You don't know about such a big movement?" said the Indian archer, frowning.

"What?, yesterday afternoon?" Lin Rui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "It seems that I really fainted all night." There's so much going on, I don't even know it. ”

"You've been in a coma for a long time, just yesterday afternoon. By the way, you've met someone. You look so miserable. Is that some blood on your face?" said the Indian archer, frowning.

Lin Rui nodded, "I met a few powerful characters. It was lucky that I was able to escape. I didn't think that I had to pay attention to my image when I was so miserable. He touched the corner of his swollen forehead and smiled wryly.

The Indian archer looked at him in silence and whispered, "Follow me." ”

Lin Rui didn't know what he wanted to do, but this Indian archer should not be hostile, so he still followed behind him very cooperatively. The archers took him to the edge of several trees and picked up an empty can from the ground with some water in it. The archer whispered, "Drink." ”

Lin Rui frowned and sniffed the water, feeling that it was a colorless or slightly yellowish transparent liquid, with a fragrant pine smell.

"It's birch sap, drinkable. There aren't many of them, though. The archer made another cut in the tree with a sharp stone, and the sap of the tree continued to seep out from under the bark. And drip down the bark into the empty jar on the ground.

Lin Rui nodded and tried to take a sip, it felt very refreshing, and there was not much smell.

In fact, birch sap contains essential and easily absorbed carbohydrate amino acids, which is currently recognized as a nutritious physiological active water in the world, so birch sap also has pharmacological effects such as anti-fatigue and anti-aging, cough suppressant, etc., and is called "natural beer" and "forest drink" by Europeans. It's just that most people would never think of trying.

Lin Rui nodded and said, "Thank you, I'm much better." ”

"Don't thank me. The archer said lightly, "I just don't want to see you die in front of me." ”

"What kind of poison did they drop, and didn't it have an effect on people's breathing?" Lin Rui frowned.

The archer shook his head and said, "I don't know, it shouldn't be a highly toxic substance, so it's okay to breathe." But the powder and the water here seem to have some kind of reaction. Almost all surface water is now undrinkable. The water was full of dead fish, and someone took the risk of trying it, only to vomit and diarrhea. ”

"Damn it. Are they trying to force us to death?" Lin Rui muttered.

"I've been used to it for a long time. The archer sighed. "It is said that more than 30 people have withdrawn from the competition by now, and the number of people who withdrew from the competition yesterday afternoon was still 20. Overnight, there were ten more. Most of it is for the fight for water and food. ”

"I've been in a coma all day, which means we only need to stay up for two more days to finish the race?" Lin Rui thought for a while.

"yes, but I'm afraid these two days won't be too easy. The archer frowned, "Food and water, which are already limited, are even more precious after such a toss. Now most of the contestants are becoming more dangerous. Originally, they were doing it to people like us who had bracelets, but now they started killing each other as well. ”

"Then why do you still want to help me?" said Lin Rui after a moment of silence.

"Because I don't know if I'll be able to make it through on my own. Maybe it's time to get a helper. The archer looked at him and said, "Either way, it's better to make it to the end with two people than to be alone." ”

Lin Rui nodded, "That's true." Well, it's a pleasure to cooperate. He stretched out his hand, "Lin Rui, Black Island Military Security Company. ”

The Indian archer hesitated and stretched out his hand and said, "House, MPRI." ”

Lin Rui's heart moved slightly, he knew that MPRI was also a well-known security consulting company. Among their senior management are several retired generals. Key operations include security sector reform, security education and training, emergency management, counter-terrorism logistics planning and management, peacekeeping and humanitarian assistance, and democratic transition assistance programs. It has several programs in the United States and beyond, employing nearly 2,000 people.

This house is actually a member of the MPRI, no wonder he has such outstanding skills
