Having made up his mind, he stood up!
"You three stay here and keep watch over Jiang Yao. I'll go to the woods myself and take a look, see if I can find some more fresh water and food!"
Ning Shu was a little worried: "No, too dangerous. You can't act alone!"
Lu Zhe said: "It's less convenient with more people! I won't go too far. If anything happens, you can blow the whistle!"
"That's still not okay!" Ning Shu said categorically: "It was hard enough for us five companions to get together. Now to let you go into the woods alone, if something dangerous happens, how will we explain it to your parents?"
"But if we don't go, we might all die here!"
Tang Xiaoguo was also anxious: "Even if you're a bit unconventional, you're still our classmate. I won't let you take risks alone! If you insist on going, I can reluctantly accompany you!"
Lu Zhe sneered: "Tang Xiaoguo, who are you calling unconventional?"
Tang Xiaoguo stuck out her tongue awkwardly.
"If someone has to go, it should be me going with Lu Zhe!" Ning Shu stood up: "Xiaoguo, remember how you were walking in high heels earlier in the woods?"
Recalling the awkward scene of walking with one foot high and one foot low in high heels, Tang Xiaoguo nodded very helplessly!
"You stay at the campsite and take good care of Qianqian and YaoYao! If there's any real danger, just blow the whistle!"
Tang Xiaoguo reluctantly nodded: "Well...be careful!"
Lu Zhe also felt that having a sensible girl like Ning Shu with him, she might be helpful with some things, so he nodded: "Alright, let's go!"
"Which way should we go in?"
Lu Zhe surveyed the area and pointed to a relatively flat place to the southwest: "It's easier to enter the woods here. We'll mainly look for streams, berries or tubers!"
Ning Shu frowned: "Rodents? It's not rats, is it!"
"Tubers like sweet potatoes and yams, of course it would be even better to catch rats for the protein!"
Ning Shu shivered in disgust: "Ew, I hate rats the most!"
"Don't worry! When the time comes, you can call me and I'll take care of them!"
"You said it!"
Lu Zhe and Ning Shu put on the simple hats woven by Lin Qianqian to shield them from the blazing sun. Carrying a plastic bag with two empty bottles they had picked up, they walked into the jungle!
The terrain in the jungle was a bit high, overgrown with weeds and uneven pits and bumps!
Walking in such a place consumed a lot of strength.
After searching the grass for a while, Lu Zhe noticed that Ning Shu was having trouble walking.
"Class monitor, do you need to rest?"
Ning Shu leaned on her knees panting and nodded: "I just...haven't exercised much lately!"
"It's okay, I was thinking of taking a break too."
"I..." Ning Shu hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
"I drank water earlier, I shouldn't say this, but to be honest, I'm a little...thirsty!" She wiped the sweat from her head!
Lu Zhe knew that more than two hours had passed since they met. Between cooling down Jiang Yao with the "towel", setting up camp, Ning Shu had been busy the whole time.
Even though she had drunk a lot of fresh water earlier, after walking this way, with increasing sweat output, her body fluids were starting to go down!
Lu Zhe handed her the bottle and nodded towards it: "Any left?"
Knowing what Lu Zhe meant, Ning Shu blushed and said unpleasantly: "No!"
"It looks like most of the body fluids have already been excreted through the sweat glands. Otherwise I could take you back to camp!"
Ning Shu shook her head: "I'm fine! I can still endure. It's just my throat feels kind of smoky, maybe resting for a while will help..."
"Okay! You sit here for now, and I'll take a look around here!"
"Hey, don't... don't go too far!"
"Mm, I'll stay within 20 meters, within your field of vision. If I go too far, call for me!"
"Okay!"
Lu Zhe began searching around the area, but didn't find anything.
Coming to a clump of bushes, he discovered something.
Pushing aside the weeds, under the grass was a small patch of damp soil!
This place was lower-lying, Lu Zhe guessed it should be rainwater that had accumulated here, and because of the lush foliage in front blocking it, evaporation was delayed!
He dipped a finger in it, rubbed it between his fingers, then tasted it with his tongue!
No salty taste!
That meant the water in the mud was fresh water!
A message also appeared in his mind: Ding, new freshwater source discovered, potential points +1!
"Class monitor, come take a look!"
"Find something good?" Ning Shu asked curiously as she came over.
Lu Zhe held out his muddy finger under her nose.
Ning Shu wrinkled her nose: "What's this?"
"Wet soil, and the water inside is fresh water!"
"Don't tell me this stuff can be drunk?"
"Maybe after filtering it!"
"Filter it with... what? We don't have filter paper or measuring cups!"
"We don't have that..."
Lu Zhe opened the survival manual and found the corresponding solution.
It said to wrap cotton socks around the mud and squeeze it to filter it.
Lu Zhe was also helpless!
I'm asking you system, can't you give me some normal suggestions?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
