Survival in the second dimension, bringing a girl and being watched by barrage

Chapter 8 Gabriel Goes to the Sea

came back.

Seeing the green coconuts piled together on the sand, Dongyun and Gabriel knew they were back.

Unfortunately, they did not find any water source other than coconuts, no signs of other human activities, no shelter or place suitable for building shelter, and they were not even sure whether the land under their feet was an island or a continent.

If they hadn't brought back nine green coconuts, they would have gotten nothing.

"1, 2, 3, 4..."

Gabriel put down the four coconuts in her arms and counted the precious water sources they had.

Whether it is old coconut or green coconut, whether it is coconut milk or coconut meat, it is a good source of potassium.

Coconut water can effectively treat mild dehydration caused by mild diarrhea and replenish electrolytes, but drinking too much coconut water and causing excessive potassium intake can cause more severe diarrhea and lead to more severe dehydration.

Coconuts are fine as a temporary water source, but definitely not as a stable water source.

Dongyun’s knowledge about Coconut comes from Danmu, and Danmu’s knowledge about Coconut basically comes from Baidu or Google.

As we all know, the Chinese Internet is a garbage dump. When searching in Chinese on Baidu and Google for why eating coconut can cause diarrhea, all you get are pseudo-scientific or irrelevant answers such as "coconut is a cold food", "lactose intolerance" and "coconut is spoiled".

Fortunately, not all the comments on the barrage learned their knowledge from the Chinese Internet. One of the comments claimed to be a college student majoring in botany and gave him the correct scientific knowledge.

This made Dongyun careful. Although barrage science popularization is good, there might be fake science popularization and it cannot be fully believed.

Another very important point is that the world appears three-dimensional in his eyes, but two-dimensional in the eyes of the audience.

Even if his audience includes botanists, mushroom experts, and survival masters, when he encounters certain plants, certain fungi, and certain animal footprints, they may not be able to accurately tell what kind of plants, mushrooms, or animals they are.

Not to mention the anime world, even in the real world they may not be able to recognize everything.

Including the ones that fell from Gabriel's sky, there were a total of 26 green coconuts.

This is the precious source of water for Dongyun and Gabriel.

Dongyun was delighted that the coconut trees in reality were different from those in the game.

Since he had never seen a coconut tree, he had the impression that there were only a few coconuts on a coconut tree. But the reality is that there are many coconuts on a coconut tree, with as few as 5 to 10 and as many as 15 to 30.

The advantage is that they don't have to worry about eating coconut meat and drinking coconut water. The disadvantage is that no matter how many coconuts they have, it will be useless because they can't eat coconuts and drink coconut water every day.

"Take a break."

Putting down the coconut, Dongyun sat down, feeling very lost.

"Ah."

Gabriel hugged her legs and looked at the sea in the distance in confusion, not knowing what she was thinking.

The two of them just sat there in silence, not saying a word.

They don't have the time to talk, nor do they want to waste energy or words talking.

It is important to stay calm and hydrated.

After a while, when they had rested enough, Dongyun spoke.

"I will continue to look for water later. You can look for large shells nearby and collect them. If it rains, they can be used to collect water."

"I'm hungry."

Gabriel turned to look at Dong Yun, her gentle tone seemed like she was acting coquettishly.

Because they were worried about diarrhea from eating too many coconuts, Dongyun and Gabriel only drank coconut water and didn't eat the coconut meat. Dongyun had eaten something before crossing over, but Gabriel played games all night and didn't have a midnight snack. She didn't have breakfast when it was dawn, which made her very hungry.

"I was just about to say this. When you look for shells, see if there are any conchs, clams, or crabs. You can eat them all." After a pause, Dong Yun added, seeing a reminder from the barrage, "Oh, and there's kelp, too. Kelp is a type of seaweed, and many seaweeds are edible."

[Many seaweeds are edible, such as kelp, nori, kombu, wakame, asparagus, and antler seaweed. They are all seaweeds and can be eaten raw.]

[Seaweed can also be eaten, Japanese seaweed]

[No, most seaweeds are not edible. Japanese seaweed is not seaweed, it is wakame, which is also seaweed]

[Thanks to the green barrage master for the popular science! Is this the master? Love it, love it]

[Our Ah B is truly a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon]

[I've said it before, this is Station A]

[Can I say that I saw it while watching movies on Xunlei?]

[I feel that the protagonist is so miserable, even more miserable than De Ye]

[Indeed, Deye at least has some survival knowledge, but Xiaoyun's survival knowledge all comes from barrage, and I don't know if it is reliable]

[It’s pretty reliable, right? There should be a lot of people watching this show. There must be some big shots like Green Barrage. Viewers from any website may accidentally jump to this show.]

Audiences who watch the anime or live broadcasts are still very concerned about Dongyun, the protagonist and host.

Even those viewers who envy, hate and envy him just want him to die, not really hope he dies. After all, any normal person would not want someone to die in their mobile phone or computer.

"Conches, clams, crabs, seaweed..."

When Gabriel found out that she was going to eat these, her face fell.

Suddenly, she thought of a terrible thing, and asked with an ugly face: "We are eating cooked food, right?"

"..."

Dong Yun didn't say anything, but a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Right?"

The expression on Gabriel's face became even uglier.

"It's hard to say. If we want to eat cooked food, we need fire. Miss Gabriel, can you make fire by rubbing two sticks together?"

The smile on Dongyun's face grew wider.

Although he knew it was unlikely, a glimmer of hope still rose in his heart, like the sun rising in a cemetery.

"will not."

Gabriel shook his head without hesitation.

How could she have such a powerful skill as rubbing two sticks together to make fire? Even Prometheus stole fire.

"See if you can pick up any marine debris. If you have bottles, we can try to use them as convex lenses to make fire. Of course, it would be even better if you can pick up reading glasses or magnifying glasses. Otherwise, we will have to drill wood to make fire."

Dongyun remembered that one of the causes of forest fires was discarded mineral water bottles with water left in them.

He knew that it would be very difficult to make a fire in this way, but in such a hot day, using a convex lens of a mineral water bottle to make a fire would not be as difficult as rubbing two sticks together to make a fire, right?

And he wanted to confirm one thing.

The thing is whether there is marine debris in this place.

There is no beach on earth that is free of marine debris.

The presence of marine debris means that there is a chance that he and Gabriel will be rescued if they make an SOS sign on the beach. If there is no marine debris, he can only hope that this "game" has an ending, otherwise he and Gabriel will most likely live in this hellhole for the rest of their lives.

Without resting for too long, Dongyun went exploring again.

Before leaving, he reminded Gabriel not to touch any strange unfamiliar objects she saw on the beach, but to poke them with a stick. The more colorful the object, the less likely she was to touch it with her hands, as it might be dangerous.

And most importantly: pay attention to the high tide.

The sea seems to be receding now, and maybe Gabriel will be able to pick up some delicious small animals that are not lying in the sand in time when he goes to the sea. But if Gabriel is not careful when the tide comes in, the King of Falling Gabriel may become the King of Drowning Gabriel who has sunk to an unknown place when he comes back.

Chapter 9: Following Lord De, Going Hungry for Nine Meals in Three Days

Dong Yun's wilderness survival is more difficult than Ed Stafford's.

This is not only because he does not have the good physique of De Ye who can go hungry for nine meals in three days, but also because there is no marine garbage on the beach where he is.

It's dying.

Dongyun stopped moving forward.

He had explored this stretch of beach and found that further ahead was a rocky beach filled with rocks.

The rocky beach was not large, and the sea cliffs visible to the naked eye in the distance blocked his way forward.

There is no way forward.

The good news was that there must be a lot of food on this rocky beach; the bad news was that he couldn't find any water, and eating would consume precious water.

It's time to adjust strategy.

Dongyun looked towards the jungle. He was hesitant whether he should go deep into the dangerous jungle to look for water.

He knew that it was unrealistic to expect to find groundwater seeping out of the rock wall like De Ye, but he wanted more to find the river's estuary and explore the beach.

[Why does the anchor have to look for water at the beach? Are you stupid?]

[I am the one who is dumbfounded. Look at the host's outfit. Wouldn't he be sucked to death by mosquitoes and leeches if he went in? ]

[Yantan, we don’t have to worry about food anymore]

[Rainbow Dash, go check out the cliff ahead. There might be a cave with fresh water in it.]

[Cast Away, right? If it weren’t for the movie, the hole would have been flooded.]

[Not necessarily. The sea caves on the sea cliffs have been formed for who knows how many years. In addition, due to the movement of the earth's crust, some sea caves will never be flooded. If you are lucky, there may be fresh water.]

[Is this true? I haven’t read much. Please don’t lie to me.]

Dongyun looked at the sea cliffs in the distance.

Originally, he had no plans to explore further, but a yellow comment said that there might be fresh water in the sea caves, which made him very excited.

Possible shelter and possible fresh water.

If he could really find it, with this rocky beach, he and Gabriel might be able to survive well.

[Dongyun: I'll go take a look. Even if there's no fresh water, a cave is good.]

In order to reduce water consumption, Dongyun posted barrages to communicate with the audience.

But he didn't have the energy to communicate with the audience, and he walked towards the sea cliff in the distance with cautious steps.

Be very careful where you step, don't sprain your ankle, and don't step on sharp stones and get cut.

Sharp stones?

Thinking of this, Dongyun became more careful about his feet.

He wanted to prevent his feet from being injured and also to see if there were any suitable stones to make tools.

Wangshan is a dead horse.

To Dongyun, the sea cliff didn't seem too far away with the naked eye, but when he actually walked towards it, he realized how naive he was. He also realized that the rocky beach under his feet was actually quite large.

Because there was no shelter on the rocky beach, he was sweating profusely before long.

Fortunately, not long after he set out, he took off the clothes tied around his waist and covered his head with them, thus preventing himself from getting dizzy from the sun.

He didn't care about the comments that kept complaining about him, such as "Shrimp Head", "Seeking the Truth Jade", "Kuroko's Basketball", etc. At a time like this, who would care about wearing the emperor's new clothes in broad daylight? The most important thing was to prevent himself from getting heatstroke and turning into a bamboo rat.

The sun is shining brightly and the clouds are sparse.

From time to time, seagulls circle in the blue sky, like dying crows.

Dongyun had no doubt that if he fell, these rogue birds that ate everything would not mind having a taste of him.

Like a devout pilgrim, Dongyun arrived at his Jerusalem.

My feet hurt.

The rocky beach is not easy to walk on, with large and small stones uneven.

Even though he was barefoot and didn't want to step on the pebbles that looked sharp and hurt his feet, he could only grit his teeth and walk carefully over the stones when there was no place to stand.

He had no time to mourn his aching feet. With the mood of visiting a grave, he had to find a way to walk up the sea cliff.
