Chen Wen's area.
He stubbornly threw a coconut on the ground, trying to knock down a few unlucky coconuts.
But the coconuts were still too high.
Moreover, smashing coconuts consumed too much energy and wasn't worth it.
"Climb the tree!"
Chen Wen gave up on the idea and prepared to climb the tree.
He approached a coconut tree full of coconuts.
He tightened his shoelaces, adjusted his belt, and rubbed his hands together.
After getting ready, Chen Wen jumped up with a leap.
His legs clamped onto the coconut tree while his arms tightly hugged the trunk.
He stiffened his body and pulled himself up the coconut tree trunk, ensuring stability before using his waist to lift his lower body, allowing his waist to bow again.
He repeated this cycle.
Thanks to years of labor work, Chen Wen had ample strength and was quite agile.
He quickly reached the middle section of the coconut tree.
"You know, it seems effortless!"
Chen Wen couldn't help but say.
Normally, after climbing so high, the muscles would surely react.
Like soreness, or fatigue.
But now, Chen Wen felt like nothing was wrong.
Could it be... the skillset?
Chen Wen recalled the skillset [Developed Adductor Muscles].
Wasn't his current posture with both arms clasped across his chest?
This skillset actually had this effect, how amazing!
Chen Wen couldn't help thinking.
With the help of [Developed Adductor Muscles], Chen Wen felt no fatigue at all.
Soon, he reached the top of the tree.
Seeing the cluster of green coconuts, Chen Wen's face lit up with joy.
He extended his hand, held firmly onto the trunk, ensuring his body was stable.
Then Chen Wen began picking coconuts.
Picking coconuts wasn't difficult.
Chen Wen found the large coconuts, held them in hand, twisted them clockwise a few times.
A round coconut dropped right into his hand.
He gently tossed the coconut down and continued picking until he finished with all the large coconuts on the tree.
"These coconuts are enough for drinking water over the next couple of days."
Chen Wen wiped his sweat and planned to rest in the tree for a while before going down.
During this time, Chen Wen kept watching the treetop.
"Hey, over there... seems like there's a beach, with quite a bit of litter?"
Chen Wen looked toward the southwest side of the coconut grove.
There was a large beach.
On the beach, Chen Wen could see quite a bit of human garbage.
"To others, it's rubbish, but to me, maybe I can find something useful there."
Chen Wen thought about it and decided to go take a look over there.
Finding something useful would be great.
Even if not... it would just be a walk.
After coming down from the tree, Chen Wen carried the coconuts back to the camp.
Today's time isn't enough, the fire can't be extinguished yet.
He'll go tomorrow.
...
The south side of the coconut grove.
Although the coconuts on the ground were easy to obtain, everyone also discovered the problem of the coconuts going bad.
"Most of these coconuts have a sour taste, and even an alcohol taste, indicating they've been here for a long time."
A coastal member expressed their opinion: "Only a small portion are drinkable, and they can't be preserved for long. I suggest getting some green coconuts instead."
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Alright, you all wait here, I'll climb up and pick them!"
The coastal member said.
He tied a rope in the kit into a loop, fastened it at the ankles to increase friction.
Under the amazed gazes of everyone, he quickly climbed up.
"Stand back!"
Coastal member Bai Yachuan shouted, warning the people below.
After everyone dispersed, he threw a green coconut to the ground.
After picking the coconuts.
Bai Yachuan also discovered the beach to the west.
"There are a lot of rubbish on the beach to the west, should we go take a look?"
Upon hearing this, the temporary leader below, who previously had a conflict with a young man, Ding Decai, shook his head: "No rush, let's gather more coconuts first, and bring them back."
Bai Yachuan nodded: "Okay, can anyone else climb trees? You can try, my efficiency alone is low."
"I'll give it a try!"
Zhang Hu from the countryside rubbed his hands eagerly.
"I think I can too, but I need to learn how to do it from you first."
Spiky Lu Heng said.
Soon, the men's group selected three people to climb trees and pick coconuts together.
...
Women's Island.
Hua Yun applied mud all over her arms and calves, lying hidden in the shrubbery.
Ahead of her, several large roosters strolled through the forest.
This was the result of her half-hour of waiting.
The roosters were released on both islands by the program team, with limited quantity, serving as props.
Hua Yun slowly raised her recurve bow, aiming at a chicken pecking grass seeds.
She placed an arrow, drew the bowstring.
The muscles on Hua Yun's arm surprised the audience.
In the next second.
With a swoosh.
The arrow flew out, accurately hitting the target.
But it wasn't over.
As the other chickens were alarmed and flustered like headless flies.
Hua Yun swiftly jumped out from the grass.
She crouched down, and shot again.
Swoosh!
Accompanied by a sharp whoosh, the arrow struck again!
[Divine Archer!]
[Bullseye through the willow, hitting the mark every time!]
[Is this edible?]
[This girl is truly amazing, her archery skills must've been trained from a young age]
[Hey, you're actually right, Hua said during a survival episode before that while others played with toys in childhood, she played with bows]
...
After shooting two chickens to death.
Hua Yun brushed her bangs aside, slowly exhaled, regaining energy.
With a bow in hand, survival this time shouldn't be difficult.
Hua Yun thought, picking up the two roosters, and returned to her camp.
Meanwhile.
After a brief argument.
The remaining seven female group members temporarily reached an agreement.
Three outdoor hosts organized survival together.
But just as they planned to make a fire.
The sky gradually darkened.
It's going to rain!
...
Unlucky unlucky unlucky!
Chen Wen jogged all the way back to the shelter before the rain.
"Tropical weather truly is like a child's face, changing at will."
Chen Wen cursed, preparing to move the camp.
He decided to move the camp to the edge of the forest by the beach.
The vegetation there was dense, and the leaves could best block wind and rain.
The first step was to transfer fire.
Chen Wen found a clearing in the forest, cleaned up the clutter.
Then he used coconut shells to transfer the remaining fire.
Finally, he arranged the leftover dry wood into a bonfire shape and placed the fire inside.
Mission accomplished!
The orange-red flames reignited.
Considering the persistent rain that might follow.
Chen Wen also took some preventive measures.
Above the bonfire, the dense leaves of the surrounding trees were the first layer of protection.
Next, in the woods away from the new camp.
Chen Wen broke off many branches and some trees not thicker than a wrist.
He used these wood pieces to construct a simple shelter around the campfire.
The shelter was for resting.
Above the shelter, Chen Wen deliberately extended a platform, using twigs as the base, covered with the crew member's clothes.
The second layer of protection was completed.
The bonfire now was very safe indeed.
And after Chen Wen finished, about three minutes later.
It poured heavily.
The two layers of protection blocked most of the rain, while the remaining sporadic rain droplets weren't enough to threaten the bonfire at all.
Perfect!
Chen Wen was overjoyed.
And while the sky hadn't completely darkened, Chen Wen collected a lot of dry branches around the camp.
These dry branches were piled around the bonfire to dry, to be used as firewood for tomorrow.
After being busy for so long, Chen Wen's stomach had long protested.
He washed his hands with rainwater, then looked at his food.
"Time to eat!"
