Who the Stewardesses Really Are

Lu Zhe obtained about 40 jin of python meat, which was only the tenderest part, as there was no need to store too much.

The rest of the meat and scraps and snake blood were thrown into the shallow pools on the beach to serve as bait to catch sea fish!

With no refrigerator, he couldn't finish eating all this 40 jin of python meat!

The system sent another new task:

"New Task: Smoke the remaining meat over the campfire to extend its shelf life!

Reward: +1 potential point!"

That's right, meat smoked over a campfire can be preserved for a week to half a month. If stored in a dry and well-ventilated place, it can be preserved even longer!

So Lu Zhe strung up all the meat with bark ropes and hung it over the firewood pile to smoke it, leaving a piece on a rock to roast!

At this time, Lin Qianqian and Tang Xiaoguo also came back!

The two girls brought back half a jin of oyster meat. It took them over an hour to hammer out that much, and they excitedly showed Lu Zhe the fruits of their labor!

Then they saw two whole rows of strange meat hanging over the camp!

The two girls looked at the half bag of raw oysters in their hands, and instantly felt unconfident!

But when they learned that this row of meat was from the huge python that almost ate the flight attendant, they were so frightened that their whole bodies trembled.

Next, the few people also picked some kelp from the seaside, dried it to extract white crystals and rubbed them on the python meat.

These white crystals consisted of mannitol and a small amount of salt, which could replenish the body's salt and also served as a natural seasoning.

It was also good for the eyes.

At this time, the flight attendant also woke up!

"Let's eat first, we can wash up after," Lu Zhe said, handing a large piece of nicely cooked python meat to Sister Bing. It was fragrant and oily.

She carefully ate a little, then started wolfing it down, even burning her mouth.

"Damn, how long has it been since I last ate?"

The four girls didn't originally want to eat this meat, but seeing her eat it with such appetizing enthusiasm, they hesitated for a moment before tearing off a slice and putting it in their mouths too!

"Wow, so delicious!"

"The meat texture is very tender and chewy!"

"If you don't consider its unappealing looks, it actually tastes a bit like dragon garoupa!"

In that moment, a new world opened up to them! From then on, their survival food repertoire included a new hardcore main dish!

Roasted python meat!

After eating their fill, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon!

After another half an hour, the clothes were just about done washing, so it was time to bathe.

Ning Shu thought for a moment: "Then... shouldn't guys and girls bathe together?"

"I don't mind, but in the spirit of chivalry, I can go to a more distant place!"

"No!" Jiang Yao said with a red face, "There are sharks in the water. We won't feel safe if you're too far from us..."

Tang Xiaoguo said, "But it's still pretty awkward for guys and girls to see each other naked!"

"How about this - we'll all stay in the nearby waters within ten meters of each other. We'll be half-submerged so no one can see much anyway. Also, Yao Yao, you can't go underwater."

"I'll wash on the shore."

The few girls looked at each other and all nodded in agreement!

The group entered the waters with their bodies submerged up to their heads, then took off their clothes one by one!

Only then did Lu Zhe realize he had made a slight miscalculation!

The seawater was simply too crystal clear! In the hazy view, he could still make out the figures of the girls!

Afraid he might get a nosebleed that would attract sharks, he quickly turned around and silently recited the entire Art of War to himself.

Yet he caught sight of Jiang Yao completely naked on the shore!

At that moment, Tang Xiaoguo mischievously splashed water at Lu Zhe's body!

Lu Zhe made an evil grin: "Heh heh, you've provoked the beast in me - none of you can escape now!"

Tang Xiaoguo pretended to scream in horror: "Ah! Little Brother Zhe looks so scary! He wants to eat people!"

While hiding behind Ning Shu, she would secretly sneak peeks in his direction!

Ning Shu smiled and reached back to tickle her under her armpits, making Tang Xiaoguo burst into giggles.

Then Tang Xiaoguo ran over towards Lin Qianqian, who immediately put her arms around her with a smile, saying: "Little Brother Zhe, I've caught Xiaoguo for you!"

Lu Zhe nodded: "Good, help me bully her a bit!"

"Roger that!"

"Noooo!"

Screams from Tang Xiaoguo rang out over the waters!

After over an hour more, everyone finished washing up. They used cards to scrape the seawater off their bodies, then made little tops and skirts out of banana leaves!

They hung up their washed clothes over the campfire to dry!

You really can't deny it - with the banana leaf wraps, the girls actually looked rather sexy, truly reminiscent of fairy maidens!

After eating his fill and bathing in the sea, Lu Zhe first wrapped himself in banana leaves, making himself a grass skirt à la Tarzan.

After getting dressed, he checked on the warble fly larvae on Sister Bing's arm.

Information appeared in his mind telling him the larvae had already died!

Turns out they could die within six to seven hours, but when uncertain of their condition, usually need to wait 24 hours!

How incredibly lucky was this!

"Ready for surgery - Xiaoguo, give me your earrings!"

"Okie-dokie!"

Using Tang Xiaoguo's earring, Lu Zhe pried out the larvae's head, then pinched it between his fingers and easily pulled it out.

The thing was about 1 cm long and looked like a maggot.

Although it wasn't writhing anymore, its white body covered in tiny black dots still made one's scalp tingle!

The few girls let out sounds of disgust.

But Lu Zhe said, "No time to make fishing tackle - otherwise this could still be used as fish bait!"

Stepping down hard on it!

He then started thinking about building the camp!

He chopped some long branches near the campsite to serve as the shelter's framework.

With the previous experience of building a shelter, this was much easier.

The partners worked together, setting up the frame, pulling grass ropes, laying banana leaves. Before it was even dark, they had finished building a simple shelter!

Although it was cruder than the previous one, it would last the night; they could reinforce the camp tomorrow!

This day, Lu Zhe had found the sixth survivor, killed a python, and even successfully completed a surgery!

Finally, he had gone through some blood-pumping little incidents as well!

He decided to turn in early, and soon drifted off to sleep on the banana leaf bedding inside the shelter!

At this time, Sister Bing still had a childish mentality.

Ning Shu finally managed to coax her to sleep. The four girls brought her into the shelter and saw Lu Zhe sleeping soundly next to them. Their hearts swelled with a wave of distress!

He had done so much for his companions today that he must have been exhausted.

The girls carefully lay Sister Bing down on Lu Zhe's other side, then checked the perimeter of the camp!

Discovering no potential dangers lurking, they returned to the campfire.

By now the skies had darkened and the temperature was gradually dropping. Huddled around the campfire, its light and warmth chased away the cold and gloom, bringing comfort to their hearts.

Jiang Yao said distressfully, "Geez, all that busyness today - little Zhe is just too tired!"

Lin Qianqian also said sadly: "I feel like we haven't done enough to shoulder his burden!"

At that moment, Ning Shu thought of something: "Is everyone tired?"

"A little, but definitely not as tired as Lu Zhe!"

"Agreed!"

"I'm still alright!"

"Anyway, we've got enough drinking water and food for now. So I suggest, tonight we help Lu Zhe by nicely decorating the camp, and give him a surprise tomorrow too - doesn't that sound good?"

"Not bad!"

"I second this motion!"

"I second it too!"

"Ha, this time you'll have to listen to my orders!"

...

Yet while the few girls were bustling about outside the shelter, the woman inside was reliving memories in her dreams!

Let us rewind the clock back ten days ago...

...

"Shen Bing. Police number: 1053858646!

Your code name for this mission is Ruan Bing, codename Sulids.

Your mission is to disguise yourself as a flight attendant, and cooperate with the captain and other comrades to board Australian Airlines flight CZ125 bound from China to Australia. Escort the target 'Kson' to Australia for handover to the Australian police.

You must not alert other passengers on the plane, cause bad societal impact, or incite panic.

As Kson possesses evidence of massive illegal activities by his organization, his affiliates may attempt interception during this mission.

To ensure success, we have specially contacted the airline and cancelled bookings for five passengers from the previous flight, creating the impression they had already flown in on that flight."

"All escort comrades must be extremely careful and prioritize safety."
