Shen Jianan made the necessary arrangements and then asked the men staying behind with him to guard the Reed Marsh to help look for a water source. Although they had enough drinking water in their vehicles for everyone, they were going to stay here for three days, and the weather was so hot. Even if people weren't too particular, they still needed to wash up; otherwise, they would probably all end up smelling like a jar of pickled vegetables.
Everyone naturally thought of this, so as soon as he gave the word, a dozen or so young fellows automatically divided into groups and set off in different directions through the Reed Marsh to start searching for water.
As for Shen Jianan, Chen Ming, Li Zheng, and the other brothers who stayed behind along with the survey team members, they set about taking out the spare canvas tarps from the vehicles, tying them up between the cars to create makeshift shading tents. With temperatures as high as they were now, it was impossible to stay inside the vehicles all the time; otherwise, anyone inside would definitely suffer from heatstroke after a long while.
