water but you're very thirsty there are three ways to get water which one is the least dangerous harvest some from a cactus drink the water from a stagnant lake take some water from a flowing river

before the ceiling crashes down luckily it's a safe room which one is it the guy picked room number three the wires don't touch the water on the floor and there's some space left between them and the ground it means it's safe to crawl under the wires adam makes it to the next room and finds a note with a task on it a coin is put into an empty bottle which is then plugged with a cork how can you
