She walked barefoot from a small mountain village where she never had shoes, to the city, and was unexpectedly adopted by a foreign couple. Through hard work, she entered a famous elite school and ...
Chapter 140 Camping Begins
Lunch was not much better than breakfast. Each person had a slightly warm beef burger. The taste was ordinary but it was filling.
Everyone was very tired, and this time no one complained about the food. They just found a place to sit down and eat slowly.
Until they had all finished eating, Zhang Wei did not see the remaining classmates, nor did she know where they were assigned.
There was an hour's break after lunch. Zhang Wei was feeling a little sleepy. She was dozing off on her bag when she heard a sound coming from the other side.
The remaining girls finally came back, looking even more disheveled than the group who had climbed the mountain. Their feet were covered in brown mud and their trouser legs were dirty. As soon as they arrived here, they collapsed to the ground and ignored the teacher's call for them to eat lunch.
Some girls started crying as soon as they lay on the ground, and some were sobbing softly. The situation was so tragic.
But the leading teacher remained unmoved and said, "You only have less than an hour to rest, and lunch will no longer be served in ten minutes. Think it over carefully."
After saying this, the girls slowly got up from the ground and went to get their lunch.
"Where have they been? They look even more tired than us."
"We are tired too, but they do look a bit disheveled."
Although Zhang Wei and her group were already resting, they couldn't resist their curiosity and some girls ran to ask their familiar classmates.
It turned out that they were late, and the leader teacher asked them to walk back to Fort William and then come back here again.
Someone counted on their fingers the distance they had walked today, opened their mouth wide, then closed it again, patted their chest and said to themselves, "That was a close call!"
After Zhang Wei closed her eyes and slept for a while, the team leader woke them up when the time came.
Zhang Wei felt her legs shaking as she stood up. She didn't know what to do next. If she asked them to continue climbing the mountain, they really wouldn't be able to do it at all...
"Your next task is to prepare a place for camping here. We have already prepared tents and supplies for you. You will need to live in your own camp for the next three days."
With a loud "boom", everyone was in an uproar.
Although Zhang Wei was prepared, she was still shocked by the school's cruelty. She thought they would only be allowed to stay outside for one night at most.
“The next step is the grouping phase.”
At this point, everyone immediately quieted down.
"Some students participated in the treetop adventure this morning, and only these students had the right to choose their groups."
Zhang Wei and the others were cheering, while the rest of the group was even more dejected.
The team leader's words further deepened this polarized mood:
"For the students who chose the Canghu route to reach their destination, the top ten can choose the supplies they want according to their ranking."
"The smallest tent is for four people, and the largest is for twenty people, which means that people can form teams based on the size of the tent."
"However, the top ten must serve as captains, which means the top ten cannot be on the same team."
When Alia heard this, she glanced at Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei had no choice. She had previously thought that if the two of them worked together, the supplies would definitely be abundant.
However, the team leader is probably worried that the top ten of them will stick together, so that the others will have to bear the cold wind, and some will die of drought or floods.
Only these ten teams can be the first to select team members and supplies, while others can only form their own teams and then collect the remaining supplies.
Zhang Wei was the first one. She looked at the four-person and eight-person tents and thought for a while. Although more people have their advantages, fewer people also mean less burden. Besides, four people is not a small number.
She made up her mind and chose a tent for four people first, and then started to select people.
When it comes to selecting people, it's a two-way choice. She definitely chose among her roommates, but they also have the right to reject her.
So she didn't engage in guesswork and said directly:
"Please raise your hand if you want to team up with me."
Queenie raised her hand first, followed by Tracy, Hayat and the others, and even Butch. In other words, except for Alia who could not choose, the rest of the roommates raised their hands.
Not only that, some students who were unfamiliar with him also raised their hands. Zhang Wei said apologetically:
"Sorry, I can only choose three people."
Then I chose Queenie, she had good physical qualities, and Tracy, who could say no to a princess?
As for Hayat, he barely gave Tracy a bodyguard, even though she herself was just so-so.
The remaining people naturally joined the second-place Alia team of eight. At least the outstanding people were relatively satisfied.
When it was the tenth person's turn to choose, there were only 20 people left in the big tent. She selected all the students who were going to participate in the treetop adventure, and did not select the students who were going to hike back to Fort William.
And no student refused to be selected. If she had, she would have to form a team with the students who were walking back to Fort William, and obviously none of them wanted that.
Just such a simple activity naturally divided the students of the entire grade into two camps, just like selecting the outstanding ones at the beginning of the school year.
Devon is keen on letting students play this game so that everyone will always remember that only absolute strength can bring absolute rights.
This is Dewen. Under the guise of cultivating gentlemen and ladies, it focuses more on cultivating students' competitive awareness in any environment.
The next step was to select food. Zhang Wei looked at the big bag of dry bread unloaded from the truck and his expression was not very pleasant.
Everyone has tasted it. Although it tastes bad, it is filling and can be stored for a long time. If the humidity in the air is lower, it can be stored for a month without any problem, let alone three days.
Judging from the amount they brought down, this would probably be their main food for the next three days.
Then came a small amount of eggs and ham. Seeing this, everyone's expressions relaxed a little, but it seemed that not everyone got a share.
After all the supplies were unloaded, the open space was piled up into a small hill, and of course the dry bread alone occupied half of it.
When it came to selecting supplies, Hayat held Zhang Wei tightly and said:
"Ham! Be sure to give me more ham! I want to eat meat."
Zhang Wei patted her hands and signaled her to relax with his eyes: Don't worry, who wants to eat dry bread when there is meat.
Naturally, Zhang Wei was the first to choose. She first picked up a large ham stick that weighed at least five pounds. Just as she was about to pick up the second one, the team leader stopped her:
"Each team can only take one of each type of supplies."
After saying this, Zhang Wei could even clearly hear many people heaving a sigh of relief.
