Chapter 141: Criticism and Struggle Meeting

Lu Zhan hung up the phone.

A few minutes later, the dean called and said, "Go ahead. President Chen will send you directly to the South African aid base after the live broadcast."

"Okay, Dean."

The next day, Chu Qiao prepared to go to the gym early in the morning. As soon as he walked out of the apartment door, he saw Lu Zhan's army green car at a glance.

Lu Zhan stuck his head out of the car window: "Get in the car, where are you going? I'll give you a ride."

Chu Qiao didn't refuse.

Lu Zhan: "Are you in a good mood?"

Chu Qiao smiled and said, "Isn't it worth being happy if you're healthy and have no disasters?"

“Isn’t gastritis a disease?”

“Not really.”

Lu Zhan said unhappily, "What does that count as? Heart disease, cancer?"

Chu Qiao glared at Lu Zhan: "Doctor Lu is really vicious. He doesn't want others to be well."

Lu Zhan shook his head: "That's not what I meant."

The two of them were in an awkward position and didn't speak all the way.

As they approached the gym entrance, Lu Zhan suddenly said, "I'm going to South Africa to provide aid in a while. I'll go there in advance and join you."

"kindness?"

Chu Qiao was dumbfounded. What did this guy mean? Going early, going with me? What for?

Chu Qiao's face wrinkled, a look of confusion and doubt.

Lu Zhan smiled and said, "Why, you don't welcome me? I haven't gone on an outdoor adventure in a long time. Do you feel grateful to be with you this time?"

Chu Qiao opened his mouth with a disdainful expression: "I don't agree."

Lu Zhan: "My ability should be no worse than yours, I won't be a drag."

Chu Qiao: "No reason. If you want to go, go by yourself. Don't join me." Chu Qiao secretly complained in his heart, there is something wrong. If I take you with me, how can I complete the task? The system only allows you to bring a small amount of system items, how can it allow you to bring a person?

Lu Zhan became serious: "Chu Qiao, Africa is full of swine fever now. If you go there and get infected..."

"Thank you for your concern, Dr. Lu, but I will take care of it myself."

"I'm leaving first." Chu Qiao got out of the car as if escaping, leaving Lu Zhan with a helpless look on his face.

Chen Ao knew that Chu Qiao had refused to go to Africa with Lu Zhan before the afternoon.

In the coffee shop, Chen Ao, Feng Zaozao and Li Pan gathered together for a rare occasion.

As soon as Chu Qiao walked in, he saw three people with their hands folded across their chests, their bodies straight, and serious expressions, as if they were about to interrogate someone.

She was stunned for a moment: "What brings the three of you together?"

Chen Ao pointed to the chairs opposite the three of them and said coldly, "Sit down."

Chu Qiao looked at Brother Feng and blinked, wanting her to give him some hints.

I saw Brother Feng shook his head, his lips slightly parted, and he said softly: "I can't help you."

Chu Qiao pulled out a chair and sat down on it. He calmly called the waiter over and ordered a latte.

Chen Ao held back and didn't say anything, and Chu Qiao also deliberately kept silent.

Finally, Feng Ge lost his temper and said, "It's not that I'm not on your side this time. It's you who really did something wrong."

Chu Qiao's mind was full of questions: "Tell me clearly, what's the matter?"

Chen Ao tapped the table with his index finger: "Why are you pretending to be stupid? Why did you refuse Lu Zhan to go with you?"

Chu Qiao almost spit out a mouthful of coffee: "Sister Ao, if he joins me, he will definitely hold me back."

Chen Ao: "Lu Zhan is traveling with you at my invitation."

Chu Qiao finally understood why Lu Zhan suddenly wanted to go to the wilderness to survive with him. It turned out to be a work arrangement.

Chu Qiao waved his hand: "Really, no need. I'm alone and it's convenient. Why would I want to be a burden?"

Panpan glared at him and said, "What doctor? He is a professional doctor and can help you in many ways. Mr. Chen and I are on the same front on this matter. Lu Zhan must go with you."

Chu Qiao didn't understand why the people who had never interfered with her survival before were so unanimous.

Chu Qiao smiled bitterly and said, "My medical care is not bad, so I don't need a doctor. If anything happens, I can just stop and save my life."

Brother Feng: "It's not that simple this time."

Chu Qiao didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Feng Ge said helplessly: "It's because of the event you set up privately, crowdfunding, enough to raise 500,000, to survive one more day."

Chu Qiao pushed the empty cup aside and shook his head in confusion: "What does it matter?"

Chen Ao interrupted, "After Brother Feng learned about this event, he conducted a questionnaire survey and calculated that you need to extend your survival time by at least 5 more days."

Li Pan nodded: "I've looked at the data, there's no problem."

Chu Qiao's face was filled with black lines: "You think I can't survive these five days, send a doctor to follow me?"

Chen Ao: "We know you can survive alone in the wilderness, but the African swine fever is very serious this time, with millions infected. We are worried."

Chu Qiao looked at the three people in embarrassment. What?

Seeing her expression relax, Chen Ao quickly said: "How about changing the survival location, or taking Lu Zhan with you, you can choose one."

Chu Qiao closed his eyes and pretended to think, but his mind was actually summoning the system.

"System, come out, can you change the task?"

"Sorry, host, the mission has been activated and cannot be changed."

"Can we add one more person to survive together?"

Chu Qiao didn't have any hope for this. She had already decided to appeal to the three people in front of her with both emotion and reason.

The system suddenly said: "Congratulations host, the number of participants in this game has been updated."

Chu Qiao was stunned. It’s actually possible?

But she hasn't agreed yet, what's the update?

System: "Switch the task difficulty. Please check the task list again."

Chu Qiao opened the task list, which was still about survival in the wilderness of the South African grasslands.

It doesn't look any different.

Chu Qiao's eyes suddenly locked, and the difficulty level was upgraded from 6 stars to 7 stars.

Adding one more person actually increases the difficulty by one star?

Chu Qiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he asked tentatively, "Can I withdraw it?"

System: "Sorry, host, the reverse operation is temporarily unavailable."

Chu Qiao opened his eyes helplessly, feeling down, and spread his hands: "You win."

On the day of the trip, it was night in Beijinzhou. The time difference between South Africa and Beidou was 6 hours, so they chose to start the mission at the beginning of the day to reduce danger.

This requires appearing late at night.

In the dim airport, Chu Qiao traveled light as usual, with nothing but a light backpack containing system items.

Lu Zhan was wearing a military green outdoor coat, which was almost the same in texture as Chu Qiao's, and even the color was very similar.

Chu Qiao circled around Lu Zhan and nodded: "You are very knowledgeable."

Lu Zhan pointed at the outdoor backpack behind him that was more than half a meter long and said, "You're never fully prepared, that's why you run into so many tough situations. Look at this bag behind me, I've prepared everything I can think of."

Chu Qiao frowned at the backpack and poked it. There was no extra space inside, it was bulging. Chu Qiao's mouth twitched. If we arrived at the starting point of the mission, the mission would fail before it even started.

"Open it and let me see."
