Chapter 3164: Looking for water

Lin Rui's luck was not so good. When he landed, he encountered an air current, so he did not land on the island but fell into the sea. But not far from the island. Lin Rui swam up to the island quickly, and to his dismay, the parachute could not be recovered.
On desert islands, parachute ropes and the like are very useful tools.
Fortunately, weapons and food were not lost. Even so, he quickly left this uncovered beach. Lin Rui understood that judging by the direction of the wind, the prisoners armed with the red tide must have landed on the island. If you don't leave early, these dangerous enemies will definitely search this beach first. If caught in that situation, Lin Rui would have to face the three militants alone, and he still couldn't kill each other. After all, these prisoners are very important.
Lin Rui came up from the sea and looked around. It was found that this was an isolated island on the sea, about ten kilometers in length. Apart from a row of tall trees on the island, all you can see are small shrubs and no buildings.
Lin Rui quickly dived into the jungle. As soon as he reached the hiding place of the plants, he lay down on the beach, closing his eyes and enjoying the steadiness and comfort brought by the earth. Swimming and icy water are very exhausting. Even more dangerous are the three red tide players hidden on the island, they may be anywhere.
Lin Rui just got up immediately after recovering his strength a bit. He had to go deep into the hinterland of the island to check. The opponent has three people. Lin Rui knew that if he wanted to defeat the opponent on the island and survive, he must be familiar with the environment here faster.
He walked some distance to find that the scale of the island was a little larger than he had originally expected, with cliffs on the east and west sides and sandy beaches on the north and south sides. There are seabird nests in the bushes on the island with many bird eggs. Without food, you can fill your hunger with bird eggs and other things, but you cannot survive without fresh water. Lin Rui knew that he had to find Danshui. But he also understood that those red tide players must also be looking for fresh water.
If you want to find fresh water, you will definitely look for a low-lying location. This may be an opportunity to locate the enemy.
Lin Rui moved her eyebrows slightly, but ran towards the heights. Generally, when looking for water sources in this kind of terrain, you will find under the cliffs on the island, which are relatively concave. Only in this type of place can there be rainwater that was accumulated during the last rain.
Lin Rui found a place where he could observe the bottom of the cliff, re-adjusted the scope of the weapon to a proper magnification, and squatted in the grass to wait.
He firmly believes that the three red tide team members will definitely go down to find water. As long as they find them, they will be able to analyze their range of activities along the way. Fresh water resources on the island are tight. If these enemies find fresh water here, they will definitely Will camp near here. They also knew about Lin Rui's existence, and it was very likely that they would set a trap here, trying to use Lin Rui's opportunity to find a water source to kill him.
So Lin Rui wanted to stop looking for water first, and after seeing what actions the three red tide team members were doing and how to deploy them, he could make other plans.
Sure enough, as expected by Lin Rui, three red tide team members appeared nearby after more than half an hour. After all, their arm injuries had not healed, and they hadn't taken a gun, just carried the gun behind their back. The three people squatted to one side to observe the surrounding conditions carefully. Lin Rui squatted above the cliff on one side. At this height and distance, he didn't have to worry about being spotted at all. He just observed the situation in front of him through a 4x scope.
Because the distance was too far, Lin Rui couldn't know what they were talking about, but it was obvious that they were quite tired and they should have walked a lot. It can be seen from their footsteps and expressions that they have not yet found fresh water to drink. Lin Rui looked at the few people through the scope. He wanted to kill them now with ease, but what he wanted was not to kill them, but to capture them alive. Therefore, Lin Rui continued to squat there, motionless.
Barea walked under the cliff, wiping the sweat. "It's wooded and the terrain is low-lying. The precipitation on one side of the mountain, because of the high and low terrain, will flow here. Look carefully for fresh water nearby."
"Captain, how do you know there will be fresh water here? Maybe there is no water here." The black man of the Red Tide Team whispered.
"There must be fresh water here. Have you noticed that the topography here is special, and the humid air blowing from the sea in the south will cause local precipitation because of the topography. Otherwise, there will be such rainforest plants here at all." Barea pointed away "This kind of plant will only be found in places with abundant precipitation. According to this kind of precipitation, there must be similar to ponds or ditches here. Look around carefully. If there is no water, We won't live for a few days at all."
"It seems that there is water here." George among the three prisoners suddenly waved and said loudly. It seems that the water source has been discovered. The rest of the people ran over immediately and found a ditch about 20 meters long. It should be a natural ditch formed by the rain washed down on the mountain. The three prisoners almost buried their heads in the water and drank with all their strength.
When they found the water source, Lin Rui, who was hiding on the mountain, also felt loose. This showed that there was indeed fresh water on the island. After the three red tide prisoners drank the water, they immediately filled a pot with a kettle and carried them around. Then the three of them all hid to the side, seemingly wanting to stand on the sidelines and kill Lin Rui while he is looking for Danshui. Because they also understand that if you want to be truly safe, you must kill the mercenary of the Black Island Company.
It's just that they didn't know that everything they did fell in Lin Rui's eyes. He had been hiding on the mountain for so long, enduring thirst and not rushing to find water, just to avoid this situation.
Lin Rui slowly retracted his body, then turned and came down from the other side of the cliff. He carefully observed the rain washing marks on the cliff, followed these marks down the mountain, and found several puddles. It's just that the water is too poor to drink. Is there really only this source of water on this island?
Lin Rui frowned and thought for a while. The mountains on this island were in a semi-circular shape, with a lot of rain-washed ditches on one side and few on the other. Lin Rui thought for a while. He thinks that so many dry ditches indicate that there is a lot of precipitation here, and there are many aquatic plants under the cliff on one side, but not on the other. This shows that the water on the mountain flows in one direction. Will this happen?
Lin Rui's eyes moved, there is only one explanation for this situation, there is a barrier lake on the mountain. In nature, the blocking of valleys caused by volcanic lava flows, ice stains, or mud-rock flows from landslides caused the original water system to be forcibly blocked by dams. After the river valley is blocked, flowing water gathers above the blocked object, and over time often forms a lake. This is the origin of the barrier lake.
