Every time Lu Zhe obtained a new source of fresh water, he gained 1 potential point!
Every time he created a new practical tool, he gained 1 potential point!
Every time he obtained a new seasoning element, he gained 1 potential point!
Every time he created a distress signal or landmark, he gained 1 potential point!
Every time he obtained a new animal protein, he gained 1 potential point!
Every time he obtained a new carbohydrate compound, he gained 1 potential point!
He could also gain additional potential points every time he cultivated plants or domesticated animals!
No wonder he had obtained points for distilling water, making bow drills, obtaining fishy herbs and all kinds of other things!
Now looking at it, there were still 4 potential points remaining!
Looking at the attribute introduction, strength and physique seemed to be able to accumulate infinitely, while speed and perception had an upper limit, but could reach the extreme limits of carbon-based creatures.
On the deserted island, in addition to resisting hunger, snakes, insects and other dangers, he also had to fight against the cold, viruses, parasites and other threats!
It wasn't like being at home, where he had ibuprofen and aspirin to take when it got really bad he could even get an IV drip!
There was nothing here. An ordinary little cold could cost a life!
So adding more physique from the start would definitely not go wrong!
Having made up his mind, Lu Zhe added the remaining four potential points all to the "Physique" column!
Instantly, he felt the air around him become less cold, and the physical strength he had just consumed seemed to have come back more than half!
Even the blisters on his hands from making fire were much less severe!
Next, he began to think about what to do tomorrow!
Continuing to look for fresh water and food was definitely top priority!
He needed to consider whether to continue looking for a more suitable camp.
After finding a campsite, he would have to consider building a decent shelter!
Firewood for burning could never be enough, picking up branches and snapping off branches was too troublesome, if possible he would have to make a stone axe to chop wood!
He also had to catch the 10 AM low tide tomorrow morning to pick up more supplies washed up on the beach, water bottles, plastic bags, cans and all kinds of other household garbage, the more he could collect the better!
He also had to find an open area with good visibility to set up a distress signal, so that rescue personnel in helicopters or speedboats could see it as soon as possible.
Right, there was also further exploration of the island, going around the island along the coastline, and finding the highest point on the island to map the topography of the island...
If he didn't think about it, it wouldn't matter, but once he started thinking about it, he realized there were so many urgent and important things to do!
It seemed that surviving on the barren island until the rescue team arrived was really not as simple as he had imagined!
He should just focus on the tasks at hand first!
He was about to take out a few bottles that had cooled off and refill them with hot seawater, when his hand touched someone's toes as he reached into the sandpit through some leaves!
Warm, delicate, a handful, his heart skipped a beat! Judging by the location, it was probably Jiang Yao!
Sorry, he really hadn't meant to deliberately touch his female classmate's feet, he was purely just trying to get the sand bottles!
He took out the sand bottle under her feet and replaced it with a hot one.
When he touched the second one, Lu Zhe's heart skipped a beat!
He felt these toes were as cold as ice!
Feeling further up, the calves were still trembling slightly!
He patted the calf: "Is that Tang Xiaoguo?"
No one responded, but Jiang Yao next to him rubbed her eyes and sat up!
She pouted her lips sourly and said, "Little Zhe, if you want to touch, just touch sneakily, I'll pretend I didn't see anything, why bother calling Tang Xiaoguo?"
"I mean, you weren't sleeping!"
She gave a lazy smile, lifting her foot and rubbing it against Lu Zhe's arm: "At least you just woke me up! Hey, how come I never noticed before that you really like touching girls' feet?"
Lu Zhe said helplessly: "There must be some misunderstanding!"
"What misunderstanding, didn't you touch my feet and then went to touch Tang Xiaoguo's too?"
"That's...that's not it!" Lu Zhe's head hurt: "I was just trying to change your sand bottles for you, and I noticed Tang Xiaoguo's feet were very cold!"
"Oh really?"
Jiang Yao stretched out her foot to touch Tang Xiaoguo's and shrank back in shock: "Whoa, so cold!"
Her exclamation woke up Ning Shu and Lin Qianqian, and these two girls also sat up rubbing their sleepy eyes!
"What's going on?"
"Something's not right with Tang Xiaoguo, get her up!"
Tang Xiaoguo was sleeping between Lin Qianqian and Jiang Yao, and the two called out to her together!
She just kept lightly trembling and mumbling incoherently!
"Damn, she's delirious!"
"No, that's not delirium!"
He reached out and touched Tang Xiaoguo's forehead, receiving information in his mind: "The small amount of snake venom compromised the patient's immune system, causing severe chills that triggered a cold!"
So that was it!
"This is a cold triggered by the immune system being compromised... it's not delirium!"
"A cold?"
Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good... it's just an ordinary cold!"
Ning Shu shook her head: "We lack medication and antibiotics. Even an ordinary cold could be dangerous!"
"And this is no ordinary cold!"
Lu Zhe said solemnly: "This is caused by snake venom complications! Although the amount of snake venom currently in Tang Xiaoguo's body is not enough to directly harm her, it has compromised her immune system!"
Lin Qianqian added: "This means that before her immune system recovers, any little disturbance could make her sick!"
"That's right!"
Ning Shu said worriedly: "Oh no, what should we do now?"
Lu Zhe pondered for a moment: "Without medication, keeping her warm is imperative! Everyone bring all the warm sand bottles together!"
The girls hurriedly brought over all the still warm sand bottles, lining them around Tang Xiaoguo!
But she still had her eyes tightly shut, mumbling incessantly!
Her body also kept shaking uncontrollably!
The sea breeze blew over and the girls couldn't help but huddle their shoulders against the piercing chill!
Lin Qianqian weakly suggested: "Rubbing hands can make palms become warm. We can use this method to keep Tang Xiaoguo warm!"
Ning Shu nodded: "Good idea!"
They all rubbed their hands, warming up their palms before pressing them to Tang Xiaoguo's body!
However, even so, it still felt like a drop in the bucket!
And compared to before, it seemed to be getting even worse!
"What should we do!" Seeing Tang Xiaoguo delirious, Lin Qianqian said distressingly.
Lu Zhe reached into the sandpit, shock on his face!
He realized that compared to before, the temperature in the sandpit had dropped!
He understood!
Although they had placed sand bottles around Tang Xiaoguo to provide warmth, when the other three girls had sat up unknowingly, they themselves were also steady sources of heat. Lifting the broad leaves exposed the sandpit, allowing precious heat to escape as their bodies left!
Checking the survival handbook, in cold conditions, companions could huddle close together to prevent heat loss.
Lu Zhe thought of scenes often seen in TV dramas: a woman falls into icy water, and the man uses his body to preserve her body temperature and keep her warm!
