Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills

Chapter 45: Lake

With the arrival of the sun, the temperature in the forest increased. Although it was still cold, it felt better than at night. Zhou Chen and the others left the fire and continued to search for water and food.

They had to survive for more than six days in this place. In order to not die of thirst, they had to find water as soon as possible. action

The forest looked calm during the day. The three of them searched for a few hours before the underwear man made a cloak for himself with grass. He also found some small dark green fruits on the low bushes and showed them to Zhou Chen and the ponytail girl.

“It’s this kind of fruit. Although it’s small and has a strange taste, there’s a lot of water content in it.”

While the underwear man was eating the fruits and introducing them, Zhou Chen did not pluck or eat them. Instead, he asked the underwear man, “The color of these fruits doesn’t look right. Could they be poisonous?”

The underwear man was hesitant.

“This… I’m not sure. Because of my talent, I’m not afraid of poison, so I can only say that the toxicity of this fruit is definitely not high. Otherwise, I would have some reaction.”

“You’re too careful.”

The ponytail girl was speechless. She picked some fruits from the shrub and placed them in her mouth. After chewing them a few times, her expression immediately distorted, but she quickly suppressed it.

“It’s indeed disgusting, but there’s a lot of juice.”

The girl tried her best to swallow the disgusting fruits as she plucked a few more.

Zhou Chen also reached out and plucked some, but he only placed them in his pocket and did not eat them.

“Why aren’t you eating?”

The girl raised her eyebrows.

“Are you afraid of eating this disgusting thing?”

A smile of realization appeared on her face.

“I’m not thirsty. I’ll eat later.”

Zhou Chen replied.

“Hehe, you want to see if I show any adverse reaction, right? How cautious.”

The girl saw through Zhou Chen and exposed him.

“Hehe, think what you want.”

Zhou Chen did not mind. That was indeed the reason why he was not eating.

The three of them picked the fruits and continued to explore the forest. After an hour, they still did not find a water source, but they found the remains of a bonfire on the ground.

“It should be left behind by the other Survivors. They have left this place for a while.”

The underwear man looked at the ashes on the ground and said.

“From the traces, there are two people. They left in this direction.”

Zhou Chen bent down and observed for a while before making a judgment.

“Let’s go and meet up with them. There’s strength in numbers.”

The ponytail girl immediately suggested.

“Hmm… in this Survival mission, it is better to move together.”

Zhou Chen nodded. This dungeon had a long duration, and he did not want to do it alone.

The three of them walked in the direction they had determined. After two hours, they made a huge discovery.

They saw a small round lake ahead. The youth in the long white coat and the youth in the green military uniform were surprisingly standing beside the lake.

When Zhou Chen and the others approached, they realized that the young man in the white coat was drenched, and there were many water stains on his body. He was rubbing a branch on a piece of wood, as if he was trying to drill the wood to start a fire.

“What’s going on? Did you accidentally fall into the lake?”

Zhou Chen felt that it was strange that the young man was drenched. He did not look like such a careless person.

“There’s water!”

The ponytail girl’s attention was on the lake. She shouted and ran toward the lake.

“Don’t go!”

The young man in the white coat, who was drenched and trembling from the cold, shouted at the girl.

“What’s wrong? Why are you stopping me?”

The girl stopped in confusion.

“There are monsters in that lake that will pull people into the water.”

The young man in the white coat looked at her solemnly and replied.

“Thank you for the reminder.”

The girl nodded, but she did not stop walking towards the lake. She only slowed down.

Zhou Chen had already taken out a lighter to help the young man start the fire. Then, he also walked to the lake.

The ponytail girl was the closest to the lake, and behind her was the underwear man.

“Is there really a monster here? The lake water looks very clear, there’s nothing inside.”

After receiving the reminder from the young man, the girl observed while approaching the lake.

Zhou Chen also arrived near the lake to observe. He saw that the lake water was so clear that he could see the bottom. It seemed like there was nothing inside other than stones.

Finally, the girl arrived within a meter of the lake. She held the glaive and bent down while observing the lake. An empty mineral water bottle appeared in her hand.

The girl slowly put the bottle in the water and filled it.

However, just as the girl and Zhou Chen thought that everything was going smoothly, a transparent claw formed by water suddenly extended from the clear lake in front of the girl. This claw grabbed the girl’s arm that was holding the bottle and pulled her to the lake!

The girl’s reaction was very fast. The glaive in her other hand immediately chopped down at the transparent claw and shattered it. However, this was not the end. Five more transparent claws formed by water instantly appeared on the lake in front of her and grabbed at her body.

This time, the girl was unable to deal with them. She only had time to use the glaive to destroy two of them before she was grabbed by the other three claws and pulled to the lake.

Fortunately, Zhou Chen and the underwear man were standing behind her. When they saw this, they immediately stepped forward and used all their strength to snatch the girl from the water claws. It was not easy, but it was not too difficult.

The girl was already drenched when she was rescued and was shivering from the cold, but she was not without a gain. The mineral water bottle was still in her hand, and it was about a quarter filled.

“Can this water be drunk?”

The girl asked the young man in the long white coat.

“I can’t be completely sure, but I haven’t felt any discomfort after taking a sip.”

The young man in the white coat nodded.

“Do you have bottles? How about I share some with you?”

She then glanced at the others and asked.

“No need, this is too little. Drink it yourself.”

The underwear man shook his head. He turned to look at Zhou Chen and the twenty-something man in the green army uniform.

“Shall we cooperate to get some water?”

“Sure.”

Zhou Chen immediately agreed and took out the coke bottle from his inventory.

“Use my bottle. It’s large enough.”

“Okay.”

The underwear man took the coke bottle and walked to the lake with Zhou Chen and the young man in the military uniform.

“I’ll crawl over and fill the bottle with water. Pull my legs back when the time is right.”

As someone who was not wearing any clothes, he was the most suitable to get water, while Zhou Chen and the young man in the military uniform were in charge of pulling him back.
