Chapter 771: Trap Destroyed

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After walking through a mountain path that was not easy to walk on, they finally found the river where they had set up the trap. However, when they saw the surging river water in front of them, everyone was dumbfounded.

Previously, the river’s channel was relatively shallow. The river was divided into several thin tributaries. Now that the river water had risen and covered the riverbank, the previous tributaries could no longer be seen. The few tributaries converged into a large river, and the traps set in the tributaries had long been destroyed.

Sharon looked at the river in front of her with the high water levels and could barely see the stones at the bottom of the river. She covered her face and squatted down. She exhaled softly and suddenly wanted to cry.

The breakdown of an adult happens in an instant. In the past, she did not cry when she was humiliated and when the Harris family had made things difficult for her, but at this moment, she suddenly wanted to cry.

Dan patted Sharon’s shoulder gently and comforted her. “Let’s find other food.”

The increase in the river water meant that it was already raining upstream. The weather today was relatively gloomy, and it might rain near their camp soon.

Shane looked at the thick dark clouds and reminded, “It looks like it’s going to rain. We have to find some food quickly and go back to hide from the rain.”

“We have to hurry. Otherwise, if it rains later, we won’t be able to find dry branches to start a fire,” Shane said worriedly. Not long ago, the sky was clear, but it suddenly turned dark.

The sky was very dark. Sharon looked at the low dark clouds and felt the humidity in the air. The birds were also chirping non-stop. Everyone was already frustrated because the trap had been destroyed, and now it was as if the gloomy weather covered everyone’s mood with dark clouds.

Sharon originally thought that the fish trap could provide a stable source of protein but it had now been destroyed. She squatted on the ground without saying a word and buried her head in her knees. She didn’t want to say anything. Although she was comforting herself in her heart, she was still a little disappointed.

However, she did not have time to continue being sad. She quickly stood up and thought about their next plan. After all, the fish trap was gone, and she still had to think of a way to survive. “I saw a big fruit banyan tree nearby just now. Let’s pick some young shoots of the big fruit banyan tree and cook them. We have to start a fire before the rain and cook the food. We also have to boil some hot water.”

Dan and the others picked some tender shoots of the large banyan tree with Sharon and returned to the camp tent to start a fire. They used the broken clay pot they had picked up previously to cook the tender shoots.

The buds of the large fruit banyan were originally purplish-red in color, but after being boiled in water, the purple color faded and the water turned black. Melissa looked at the black soup and said in disdain, “Can this be eaten?”

Melinda raised her eyebrows and said, “You can choose not to eat it and give your share to others.”

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t eat it.” Melissa glared at Melinda.

Dan and Shane picked up some branches and made a few pairs of chopsticks.

Sharon distributed some cooked sprouts to everyone. Sharon took a bite herself. It wasn’t delicious, but at least it could fill their stomachs.

After she finished cooking this, Sharon cooked another pot of white calabash petals. These petals tasted better and were sweeter. Thinking that she had originally planned to use this to cook fish soup, Sharon still felt a little disappointed, but perhaps it was normal for her to not get what she wanted in life.

The sky darkened even more. After everyone drank the boiling hot water, they hid in their tents. It was going to rain soon.

Sharon put on her thermal suit. The temperature would drop after the rain, so she had to keep warm in advance.

The rain began to patter down. Inside the tent, she listened to the sound of the rain outside. The air was filled with the smell of dampness, and the wind blew the tent from time to time. Sharon thought that since there was no new mission so far. She could rest for a day tomorrow and continue to think of ways to expand their current recipe.

The next morning, Sharon was woken up by the crisp chirping of birds in the morning. The chirping of birds in the wilderness was crisp and healing, and the entire forest seemed to be full of life after the rain, glowing with hope.

In the live-stream, there was no lack of netizens who woke up early in the morning.

[This bird’s cry is so spiritual.] [I thought it was a bird near my house.]

[Good morning, everyone.] [Morning.]

[Why are you all up so early!]

[I’m dying of laughter. I have not slept at all..]
