4473 The Other Side 442

"Come here…"

"Eh?" Hua Jin walked over foolishly. "What?"

The man opened his bulletproof vest. "Drink up."

"…"

The bulletproof vest was on the man, and the drinking piece was positioned next to his chest. If he were wearing the vest, he'd be able to drink it lowering his head and pulling out the drinking mouthpiece.

The thing was… This man was freaking tall. He was 10 centimeters away from his chest. No matter how he looked at it, it simply looked like he was breastfeeding. However, he was really thirsty.

Hua Jin asked out of politeness, "Aren't you thirsty?"

"I am."

"Then… why don't you drink some first?"

Gong Jie raised an eyebrow but did not reject the idea. He picked up the drinking piece and took a big gulp.

The actor watched eagerly, feeling that his mouthful was about to drain all the water in the bulletproof vest. "Leave some for me!" The actor panicked. "I feel like I'm about to dry out from thirst."

Gong Jie handed him the straw.

The actor walked over and stood on his tiptoes. As he was sucking on the drinking piece, he suddenly realized that Gong Jie had just used it…

This straw was stained with his… Was this considered a disguised kiss?

Bah.

Who cares.

The actor closed his eyes and drank contentedly. After a few sips, the water stopped flowing. This guy… He had almost drained the water in one gulp.

However, this mouthful of water more or less alleviated the crisis. Hua Jin finally regained some strength. He looked around at the forest and felt a little devastated. "Is there a water source nearby?"

"I'm looking for it."

"How are we going find it?" The actor muttered, "There's no map. We're like a headless fly."

Gong Jie suddenly stepped on the dirt on the ground.

"See the dirt?"

"Yeah."

"Wet soil. There are ants and earthworms. This means that there's a water source not far from here."

"Oh… how clever." Gong Jie continued, "However, in some areas the mineral content might be too high. It's definitely not suitable to drink such water directly, so although such water resources can be drunk, they must first be precipitated and purified."

"Uh…"

"So when you see a water source, first pump the water into the bulletproof vest to purify it. Don't drink it in a hurry. That will kill you. You'll end up getting diarrhea and dehydrate from it."

Diarrhea is a great enemy when one's trying to survive in the wild, for it increases water loss.

The two of them walked in single file. Sure enough, not long after, they heard the faint sound of trickling water.

"I hear water!" Hua Jin said excitedly, "There should be water nearby."

"Yeah."

The actor followed the sound of water and led the way. Gong Jie had to stop him. "Slow down. What if you fall?"

Hua Jin slowed down.

After walking for dozens of meters, he finally saw a small stream. Gong Jie walked up to it and assessed the water quality. It was actually suitable for drinking directly. He scooped up some water and took a sip. It was slightly sweet. "Wow! It's so delicious!" It tasted even better than mineral water.

Hua Jin buried his head in the water, opened his mouth wide, and drank to his heart's content.

Gong Jie, on the other hand, drank more elegantly. He scooped the water with his hands and drank a mouthful at a time, maintaining an elegant bearing even when in dire straits.

When they were done, he took out the drinking hose in the bulletproof vest and drew water in.
