Chapter 77 The Great River
The towering trees continue to decrease, and we have reached the edge of the virgin forest.

This is our No.20 three days away from the shelter.

"Take a rest! Liu Wu, take a few people to find some flame fruit and the like. If it's suitable, it's best to bring back some prey!" I saw the women behind me, their faces were full of haggardness and exhaustion, casually ordered.

"Okay, Brother Du, I'll go right away!"

There was a big smiling face under Liu Wu's shiny forehead, he beckoned, and immediately led a few people towards the surrounding bushes.

"I didn't expect Liu Wu to be quite obedient!"

Gao Zheng smiled, feeling emotional in his heart.

When I proposed to take people from Liu Wu's side with me, Gao Zheng actually opposed it.

But with my persistence, I didn't continue to sing against me.

However, judging from what happened in the past 20 days, the objection in Gao Zheng's heart has long since disappeared.

After adding Liu Wu and others, our team has also expanded to 36 people.

Counting me and Gao Zheng, there are eight males and 28 females.

This is already considered a huge team.

Traveling in the primeval forest naturally attracted the attention of many wild animals, and there were constant dangers.

Liu Wu and the others were still guarding against us at the beginning, but after seeing me kill the beasts with ease several times, they immediately became my followers.

To put it crudely, even if I fart, they will come over and smell it vigorously, and they will say while smelling, it smells so good!
"Does he dare to be disobedient?"

I said with a half-smile.

Gao Zheng understood what I meant, and his smile became brighter, "By the way, how long will it take?"

I shook my head.

If there were only me and Liu Yeyao, more than 20 days would have been enough for the two of us to reach the shore.

But now that there are so many people in the team, and most of them are women, the speed is naturally much slower.

Until now, there is still a long distance from the place where I met Cheng Nian.

I made some calculations and replied, "It takes two hundred kilometers less. At our current speed, it will take at least half a month!"

"You can't be so slow, you need to speed up, otherwise even if there is rescue, if you haven't found anyone for so long, you will give up in all likelihood!"

Gao Zheng said seriously.

"That's right, how about it, I won't rest during the day from now on!" I agreed.

Soon, Liu Wu and the others came back with some clothes and flame fruits, and some hares in their hands.

After everyone finished eating, they embarked on the journey again.

This time around, we're going a lot faster with much less daytime rest.

It only took five days to reach the furthest place that Liu Yeyao and I reached at that time.

Everyone is tired.

Especially the few of us men who can persist until now are entirely supported by the spirit of wanting to leave the desert island.

Another three days later, in my estimation, when there were still [-] kilometers away from the shore, I saw a few women in the team, who couldn't hold on anymore, and fell into a coma while walking.

I know it's slowing down.

After all, if you continue walking at this speed, someone will be exhausted to death.

Under my command, Liu Wu and others quickly set up the tent, and the women who fainted were also helped inside to rest.

At this time, the sky was about to darken.

"You guys go to rest too, Gao Zheng and I will take turns keeping watch tonight!"

I said to Liu Wu and the others.

Liu Wu and the others naturally had no objections.

These people, they have also lost a lot of weight and are extremely tired.

Liu Yeyao originally wanted to watch the night with me, but after my persuasion, she had no choice but to go back to the tent to rest.

Soon after, night fell, and apart from snoring, there was only the rustling of the wind in the temporary camp.

But in the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a different voice.

Crash!
It seems that there is water flowing.

"Could it be that there is a river near here?"

This thought came to my mind.

That day I was carried too high by the big falcon, and I could barely see the situation below. As for whether there is a river, I am not sure.

When Gao Zheng came to hand over to me, I told him my thoughts.

Gao Zheng's guess is similar to mine, "Since there is such a large area of ​​primeval forest, it means that there is still plenty of rain, and it is not surprising that there are rivers!"

Gao Zheng and I were both happy and worried.

The good news is that if there is a river, then we can replenish the water source.

The worry is that the ecological environment near the river must be quite different from that in the virgin forest. Will there be any irresistible danger?

With such a mood, I went back to the tent and fell asleep without waking Liu Yeyao.

The next day, after a night's rest, everyone's condition was much better, and we continued to move forward.

In the afternoon, when we turned over a small hill and saw the scene in front of us, we were all stunned.

A rushing river is at the foot of the hill.

The river water is not cloudy, but the water flow is very fast.

The most important thing is that the width of this river is not small, it is more than 30 meters by visual inspection.

The river beach on both sides of the river is covered with a thick layer of pebbles, and the flat land is relatively wide.

"How to do?"

Gao Zheng said with an ugly face.

Now we have no joy when we meet the river.

Because this river is blocking our way to the shore.

"Go along and see if you can find the source, or find a narrower place!"

I also said with a very serious face.

Because, in the river, I don't know what will be there.

So we walked up the river for a day.

But what makes me even more disappointed is that the higher you go, the faster the river flows.

And the source and narrow place are even more missing.

There was only one way to get to the shore of the island, and that was to forcibly cross the river.

"Find a place to live first! Check out the situation in the river first!"

I said helplessly.

Others naturally have no opinion.

We didn't dare to set up tents on the river beach, and finally found a relatively acceptable flat land on a small hillside, and temporarily settled down.

As the sky darkened, everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"Tomorrow, me, Liu Wu, and you two, go to the river to see the situation! Everyone else stay here, pay attention to safety!"

I pointed to the two people beside Liu Wu and said.

The faces of the people I pointed to changed, but they didn't dare to say anything.

"If the river is shallow, we can still swim across it, but if it's a little deeper, we need to build a raft or build a wooden bridge to get across!"

Gao Zheng said suddenly.

"The raft is not good, the speed of the flowing water is too fast, the raft is easily broken or washed away!" I shook my head.
