Chapter 206 How to Drink Water (Subscription Request)
After everyone had safely come down from the sand hill, Meng Chao headed towards the oasis.

Everyone's pace became noticeably faster because they all wanted to get to the oasis as quickly as possible so they could drink as much water as they wanted.

Later on, Meng Chao even started running.

He still had some energy left and wanted to reach the oasis as quickly as possible.

He didn't dare drink the water in the oasis directly. He had to filter it and boil it before he could drink it.

After jogging all the way, Meng Chao finally approached the oasis.

There are some small shrubs growing in the oasis, which is full of green and makes people feel the vitality.

At the same time, there is a lot of grass and a big puddle.

Meng Chao quickly came to the puddle and observed the condition of the water in the puddle.

If it is stagnant water, even if it has been boiled, you still need to be careful when drinking it.

"Audience, have you seen these red bugs in the water? There are so many of them." Meng Chao pointed at the little red bugs in the water and felt his scalp tingling.

[I'm so excited, fishermen are so happy, this is the fish's favorite red worm. ]

[I can’t take it anymore. My intensive phobia is about to explode. ]

[It looks so scary, my scalp is numb. ]

[How can I drink this water? Brother Chao is not going to drink this water, right? ]

[It's simple. Just dig a sand pit next to the pool so that water can penetrate through it. It can act as a filter. ]

[This water should be groundwater. The puddle is not big, and there are no dead animals in it. It is drinkable after filtering.]

[It doesn't look like stagnant water. There are a lot of water plants on the other side. The source is probably over there. ]

While everyone was discussing, Meng Chao went around to the other side.

Others also arrived at the oasis one after another, and they couldn't help but feel happy when they saw the puddles.

"There are a lot of red worms in the water, so be careful." Meng Chao reminded, and then came to the place where water plants grew.

After giving the reminder, Meng Chao gestured with his fingers: "The water is flowing from here to the puddle outside. You can see traces of the water flowing."

"I can dig a hole next to it and see if there is really water underneath." As he said this, Meng Chao took out an engineer shovel from his backpack.

Then start digging at the edge of the water plants. After two shovels, you will dig out moist sand.

"Very good, my judgment was correct. There is indeed water underneath, but it is quite deep."

So Meng Chao dug another shovel and saw the water inside.

"Look, I found some water."

"This should be water from an underground river. It should be clean."

"If there is no way to boil water, this water can be used for drinking."

"Of course, it's better to filter it again with charcoal." Then he continued to dig down.

Prepare to dig deeper and make the puddle bigger.

The others have already gathered around, they have already seen the red worms in the puddle.

There are so many red worms that everyone feels a tingling sensation on their scalp.

"Is the water in this puddle drinkable?" An Yifei's voice was a little hoarse, because her throat was almost smoking.

I was really short of water. Eating dates could only replenish some of the water my body needed, but it couldn't quench my thirst or moisten my throat.

"It needs to be boiled before drinking. I'll go collect some dry firewood."

"Brother Jin, come with me, the others stay here."

"We don't know what's going on in the oasis yet. There may be hidden dangers, so you need to pay attention." After saying that, Meng Chao stopped digging the sand and started looking for dry firewood.

"Are there animals hiding under these low bushes?" Zhang Jin followed Meng Chao, holding the machete in his hand, looking at the bushes with some concern. He knew that there were not only snakes in the desert, but also wolves.

"Well, so let's not get close for now. Let's boil the water and then check one by one." Meng Chao said, and walked under a poplar tree.

There are some dry trees and a burnt fire.

This shows that someone once spent the night here, leaving traces.

As he got closer, Meng Chao also saw a fire pit made of stones.

I don’t know if he is an explorer or a shepherd in the desert.

"I never thought that someone had been here before." Zhang Jin couldn't help but sigh when he saw the traces.

After all, this is an uninhabited desert with no resources.

This oasis is particularly small and doesn’t look suitable for survival.

"It is probably the shepherds from the desert who came here to graze their livestock and stayed here."

"Or maybe it's an explorer." Meng Chao gave his own analysis.

There is still some unburned dry firewood here, which Meng Chao and his team can use directly.

It’s not possible to boil it for a whole night, but boiling two pots of water is not a big problem.

Meng Chao built a stone stove with stones, and then went to fetch water with the hanging pot and bottle.

"Everyone, go and have a rest under the poplar trees over there. I'll fetch some water. Just don't walk around." After giving the reminder, Meng Chao started to fetch water.

The water is already clear and does not require additional filtering.

Meng Chao took off the lunch box at the bottom of his kettle and used it to fetch water.

After the hanging pot and the water bottle were filled with water, Meng Chao took them back under the poplar tree.

After taking out the fire-making tools from the backpack, Zhang Jin took the initiative to say, "Let me try."

Meng Chao did not refuse and handed the tools to him.

He used a machete to cut off a date palm leaf, took it to the water source and used it to cover the water.

Next, he took out his night vision goggles and prepared to start exploring the bushes.

Because it is thermal imaging, it can be used during the day.

If it is the dim light type, it cannot be used during the day.

The incandescent color band mode is still used, so you can see it more clearly.

Low shrubs are perfect for animals to hide in, and it is very cool under the shrubs.

And there is fresh water here, which will attract various animals.

Whether I can have something to eat tonight depends on this oasis.

While searching, Meng Chao kept eating dates to fill his stomach and replenish water.

It takes a while for the water to boil, and they don’t dare to drink unboiled water.

After a while, Zhang Jin, who had successfully made fire by rubbing two sticks together, found Meng Chao with a machete in hand.

"How was it? Did you find any animals?" Zhang Jin really didn't want to eat those dates.

Although he had suffered a lot over the years, he had never experienced the hardship of not having enough food to eat.

"Not yet, but we found traces of traps and animal hair." Meng Chao told Zhang Jin about his findings.

When Zhang Jin heard Meng Chao say there were traces of animals, a fire of hope suddenly ignited in his heart.

"I hope there are wild rabbits. If we roast two of them tonight, it will be enough for us to eat." Zhang Jin, like Meng Chao, lay on the ground and checked the situation under the bushes.
