Chapter 571: 572, Release the Snake to Bite You (Part 2)
"Understood." The group that just got off the vehicle seed listless.
Song Shiqin’s face was gloomy as he raised his voice, "Understood?"
The crowd was jolted to attention and instantly shouted loudly, "Understood!"
Satisfied, Song Shiqin then had two officers distribute a black bag to everyone.
After everyone had received their bags, Song Shiqin continued, "Simply put, wilderness training ans that you will rely on your abilities to survive in these mountains for ten days. The bag contains a tent, a dagger, and a satellite phone. In case of an ergency, you can use this phone to call for help, and we will arrange for soone to co to your aid."
"Instructor, what will we eat? And what about drinking water?" a male student asked.
Song Shiqin glanced at him and said sternly, "Fend for yourselves. There are basic cooking tools in the bag."
Hearing this, people looked at each other, and disbelief was evident in everyone’s eyes.
They were all coddled darlings at ho, so who had never even set foot in the kitchen, and now they were being told to fend for themselves...
There are basic cooking tools in the bag.
Does that an even the ingredients have to be self-sufficient?
As the realization set in, so people found it hard to accept. However, everyone was still looking forward to what was to co, as it was their first ti participating in such an interesting training. It seed to resemble a sumr camp.
"Next, we’ll begin forming groups," continued Song Shiqin. "There will be mixed-gender groups of six."
At these words, excitent bubbled amongst the crowd again.
Everyone was eager to find out who they would be tead up with.
minutes later, the groups were decided.
Chu Jin was actually in the sa group as Qiao Muyan, along with another girl and three boys.
Though Qiao Muyan was dissatisfied, she did not express it on the spot and the six of them started walking into the mountains.
There were a total of ten groups, each heading in different directions.
Among the six, the three boys were quite excited, constantly talking about sothing. Boy A said, "Have you all watched ’Wilderness Survival’?"
Boy B said, "Of course, I’ve watched it. Ed Stafford is the person I admire the most."
"I’ve also watched that show. The Ed you’re talking about is Ed Stafford, right?" Girl A chid in, and then said, "I feel like we’re now in a real-life version of ’Wilderness Survival’."
"You don’t think we’ll starve to death here, do you?" Boy C interjected gloomily. He was the only child in his family and was used to being spoon-fed. Other than studying, there wasn’t much he needed to worry about. Now that he was roped into wilderness training, wasn’t this almost like being left to his own devices?
"If Ed could survive without starving, how could we possibly starve to death?" Boy B retorted.
Girl A added, "Ed even dared to eat excrent. Would you dare to do that?"
At that thought, several people cringed in disgust. To survive, Ed really would eat anything.
"Don’t worry, with us here, we won’t make you girls eat excrent!" Boy A patted Girl A’s shoulder assuredly.
"Exactly!" Boy B also patted his chest. "Leave the matters of survival to us n! For the next ten days, we guarantee to treat you to delicious and spicy food."
It’s just wilderness survival, what’s there to be scared of?
Ed had nothing, not even hair, and he could survive so many days in the wilderness. They had all the tools they needed, even pots—how could they possibly starve to death outside?
Boy C still seed a bit timid and weakly said, "Can I... cling to your coattails?" He had already automatically excluded himself from the ’n’ category.
"Li Yuanbo, look at yourself, no better than a woman," Boy B mocked without rcy.
The others joined in with the laughter.
The further they walked into the jungle, the denser the undergrowth and the trees beca, casting deep shadows as if to blot out the sun.
Chu Jin was leading the way, clearing the path for those behind.
Even so, the group stumbled and staggered behind him, their steps growing slower, their breathing heavier as they collapsed exhausted on the rocky ground.
Having not eaten lunch, they were now hot, tired, and thirsty.
Physically and ntally drained.
"I can’t go on, I’m exhausted."
"I’m so thirsty."
"I’m craving a chilled drink..."
"There’s no chilled drinks, but mineral water would be fine."
Qiao Muyan was so exhausted that she didn’t even have the ti to cause trouble for Chu Jin, leaning against a tree trunk, sweat pouring down like rain, her mouth dry and tongue parched, but she had to keep going to show Song Shiqin a different side of herself.
Chu Jin surveyed their surroundings and looked up at the sky, then spoke, "Everyone get up quickly. We need to find a water source before it gets dark and set up camp."
"Brother Jin, can we take a break? I really can’t walk anymore," said Boy A.
"I can’t walk anymore either," Girl A and Boy B said in unison.
"No breaks," Chu Jin frowned, "It’s about to get dark soon. It’ll be even harder to walk then, and moreover, in these deep mountains, wild animals are likely to roam at night. We must find a place with a water source, pitch the tents, and make a fire imdiately."
The nightti jungle was extrely dangerous, and it was sumr; plus, they were already showing clear signs of dehydration!
Therefore, the most pressing matter was to find a suitable place to stay.
Hearing the possibility of wild animals, everyone was frightened into standing up quickly, and timid Boy C said, "Brother Jin, let’s hurry then." He didn’t want to be eaten by wild beasts.
Only Qiao Muyan still sat on the ground as if she hadn’t heard Chu Jin at all.
What was Chu Jin anyway? She wasn’t about to let her call the shots.
"So which way do we go?" Boy B scratched his head, looking troubled, feeling that all those wilderness survival shows he watched were in vain. At the critical mont, they weren’t the slightest bit of use.
Chu Jin used the stick in her hand to push aside the underbrush and continued, "If we go this way, we’re sure to find a water source."
"Okay, Brother Jin, we’ll follow you." Seeing Chu Jin’s experienced and composed deanor, the others quickly found their mainstay and followed behind Chu Jin.
Girl B looked back and saw Qiao Muyan still sitting there, asking, "Hey, Qiao Muyan, aren’t you coming?"
Qiao Muyan slowly lifted her gaze, "The instructor didn’t say Chu Jin is our group leader. Why should we go wherever she says? I think we should go this way."
Qiao Muyan got up and went in the opposite direction from Chu Jin.
She was determined to knock Chu Jin down a peg.
Just let her go around seducing n!
Let her think so highly of herself!
She, Qiao Muyan, was not to be trifled with.
"Hey, don’t be impulsive. Everyone else is going this way, so you should too," Girl B tugged at Qiao Muyan’s wrist.
The rest stopped in their tracks and looked at Qiao Muyan, saying, "Brother Jin has a lot of experience, let’s just listen to her. Don’t throw a diva temper tantrum and waste ti, it’s going to get dark soon."
