Lin Rui woke up in a daze. He found himself huddled in the bushes. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious. The blood on his forehead and face had long been dried by the wind. He carefully looked at the movement around him and only moved his body when he was sure that no one was around.
Every part of his body that had been beaten was in pain, and the bruises and swelling on his legs and arms still made him feel uncomfortable. He squinted at the sky, which seemed to still be bright. He didn't know if he was unconscious for a whole day or an hour. I just feel very thirsty.
He struggled to stand up and moved his body. He remembered that he escaped all the way here after fighting Snake. As for when he fainted, even he himself couldn't remember clearly. Fortunately, he knew this place. Because he found a tree with the secret mark he had carved on it.
In order to avoid getting lost in the unfamiliar jungle, he often leaves small marks on some trees. Outsiders can't see it, but he can use these secrets to help him remember the path clearly. The tree Lin Rui found had a downward arrow carved on it, which indicated that there was a water source in the low-lying area downhill.
Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief. He was very grateful for his luck. This was really good news. When he was on the verge of coma, he accidentally hit it and ended up here. No matter what, as long as there is water. The clothes on his body had been torn by branches, so Lin Rui simply took them off and threw them on the ground, then leaned down to look at the surrounding terrain and walked towards the water source.
This water source is simply a puddle, and the water inside is not a spring or a mountain stream. It's the rainwater that accumulates when it rains. Leaves are still floating on the surface of the puddle. The water looks dirty and turbid.
But Lin Rui could no longer care about anything else. He ran a few steps and wanted to throw himself into the water and drink. At this moment, an arrow suddenly arrived and hit his feet with a pop.
Lin Rui paused and turned around. The man opposite was covered in camouflaged leaves and dead branches. He stood there and thought it was just a dead tree without looking carefully.
"Indian." Lin Rui frowned, "Why is it you?"
"If I were you, I wouldn't drink this water." The archer with Indian ancestry said calmly.
Lin Rui frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
"Don't you know? Yesterday afternoon, several planes took turns to spread medicine over the woods. The people from the competition organizing committee polluted all the water sources in this area. You didn't know about such a big movement?" Indian Archer Frowning.
"What? Yesterday afternoon?" Lin Rui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "It seems that I really passed out all night. So many things happened, and I didn't even know about it."
"Yesterday afternoon until now? You have been unconscious for a long enough time. By the way, you met someone. You look really miserable. Are there blood stains on your face?" Indian Archer Frowning.
Lin Rui nodded, "I met a few powerful characters. I was lucky to be able to escape. I never thought that I would have to pay attention to my image in such a miserable situation." He touched his swollen forehead. , a wry smile.
The Indian archer looked at him silently and whispered, "Follow me."
Lin Rui didn¡¯t know what he wanted to do, but the Indian archer probably wasn¡¯t hostile, so he followed him cooperatively. The archer took him to the edge of some trees and picked up an empty can from the ground with some water in it. The archer whispered, "Drink."
Lin Rui frowned and smelled the water. He felt that it was a colorless or slightly yellowish transparent liquid with a refreshing pine smell.
"This is birch sap, you can drink it. But the quantity is not much." The archer used a sharp stone to cut a hole in the tree, and the tree's sap continued to seep out from under the bark. And it dripped down the bark into the empty jar on the ground.
Lin Rui nodded and tried to take a sip. It felt very refreshing and did not have much odor.
In fact, birch sap contains carbohydrates and amino acids that are necessary for the human body and easy to absorb. It is currently recognized as a nutrient-rich physiologically active water in the world. Therefore, birch sap also has pharmacological effects such as anti-fatigue, anti-aging, and cough relieving. It is said by Europeans For "natural beer" and "forest drink". But most people would never think of trying it.
Lin Rui nodded and said, "Thank you, I'm much better."
"No need to thank me." The archer said calmly, "I just don't want to see you die in front of me."
"What kind of poison did they throw? Doesn't it have any effect on people's breathing?" Lin Rui frowned.
The archer shook his head and said:"I'm not very sure. It shouldn't be a highly toxic substance, so it's not harmful to breathing. But this medicinal powder seems to have some kind of reaction with the water here. Now almost all surface water can't be drunk. The water The water was filled with dead fish, and someone took the risk and ended up with vomiting and diarrhea.¡±
"Damn it. Are they trying to force us to death?" Lin Rui muttered.
"I've long been used to it." The archer sighed. "It is said that more than 30 people have withdrawn from the competition so far. Yesterday afternoon, the number of people who quit the competition was still 20. Overnight, there were ten more. Most of them were fighting for water and food."
"I've been in a coma for a whole day, which means we only need two more days to finish the game?" Lin Rui thought for a while.
"Yeah, but I'm afraid these two days won't be too hard." The archer frowned, "The food and water that were originally limited have become even more precious after such a struggle. Now most of the contestants have It¡¯s becoming more dangerous. Originally they were attacking people like us who had bracelets, but now they are killing each other first.¡±
"Then why are you still helping me?" Lin Rui said after being silent for a while.
"Because I don't know if I can get through it alone. Maybe it's time to find a helper." The archer looked at him and said, "No matter what, there is always a better chance of surviving until the end when two people team up than alone."
Lin Rui nodded, "That's true. Well, I'm glad to cooperate." He extended his hand, "Lin Rui, Black Island Military Security Company."
The Indian archer hesitated and stretched out his hand, "House, mpri."
Lin Rui's heart moved slightly. He knew that mpri was also a well-known security consulting company. They have several retired generals among their senior management. Main businesses include security sector reform, security education and training, emergency management, counter-terrorism, logistics planning and management, peacekeeping and humanitarian relief, and democratic transition assistance programs. It has multiple projects in the United States and other regions and employs nearly 2,000 people.
This House is actually a member of mpri, no wonder he has such outstanding skills.
