With such a vivid example before them, fear finally overcame their mad craving for mushrooms.
"How about... we go down the mountain first..." a bald, fat man at the fan club suggested hesitantly.
Going hungry for a meal is fine, but dying here is no fun.
"Yes, yes, let's go down the mountain first."
At this point, there was no time to worry about collective action. Each base quickly formed its own groups and hurriedly returned along the routes they had come from.
"Have you noticed? Xu Bing and the people from Yaoguang Base have disappeared."
As everyone fled, Zhang Xiaojuan stood with her hands on her hips, peering at the hastily fleeing crowd.
Since the conflict between the bespectacled guy and Xiao Xu, no one from the Yaoguang Base has spoken. Now the scene is in complete chaos, and Xu Bing, the host, has mysteriously disappeared.
Su Zheng, Ma Dongmei, and the others didn't move. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone had run away, they came to join Lu Sheng and the others.
"Shall we go too? Xu Bing is probably up to something." Ma Dongmei said, frowning as she smoked a cigarette.
The two teams carefully counted the number of people. To prevent any fungal people from mixing into the teams, Ma Dongmei simply and brutally stabbed everyone in K3.
A small cut was made on the fingertip, and as long as there was flesh and blood, it passed safely.
Fortunately, the team is safe for the time being.
Seeing this, Zhao Weigang from the Lingfeng base followed Ma Dongmei's example and bled one by one his men to make sure that none of the remaining people were infected by the fungus. Then he hurriedly caught up with Lu Sheng and Su Zheng.
After the three teams had walked several hundred meters, Lu Sheng suddenly stopped.
"We're lost."
Under the tree roots nearby, there was a box of chocolate milk, which Zhang Xiaojuan had drunk to replenish her energy.
There's no milk available on the market right now, so this carton couldn't have been left here by chance.
Now that they've walked several hundred meters and seen the crushed box again, the only explanation is that they've walked back to where they started.
"That's impossible, I've been carrying a compass the whole time." The bespectacled young man shook the compass in his hand in surprise. "Ugh, it seems to be malfunctioning."
The two teams looked at each other in bewilderment.
They may be trapped on this mountain, which is full of fungi and mushrooms.
At the same time, the various bases that had just hurriedly descended the mountain also quickly found themselves disoriented.
In the chaos just now, the various bases had huddled together and were scattered. Now, they are basically in groups of a dozen or so people. Occasionally, one or two bases would run into each other and immediately join forces to try to break out.
With Luo Yuxuan's help, Luo Cheng stumbled downhill at a rapid pace, soon becoming breathless from exhaustion.
"Damn it, we've been walking for so long and we still haven't come down the mountain." He angrily tightened his fingers, leaving five finger marks on Luo Yuxuan's wrist.
Luo Yuxuan kept his head down, remaining silent the entire time.
"Can't you fucking talk?"
Luo Cheng was usually short-tempered, and now that he was trapped on the mountain, he was exhausted and panicked. He was like an enraged bull, and he would vent his anger on Luo Yuxuan at the slightest provocation.
Seeing that Luo Yuxuan was still meek and silent, Luo Cheng got angry and kicked her hard in the back of the knee.
The stubborn little girl stood still, remaining silent no matter how much Luo Cheng cursed her.
"You're such a heartless piece of trash. I was hoping you could hook up with Xu Bing. Look at your deadpan face, what guy would want you!"
As he spoke, Luo Cheng slapped Luo Yuxuan twice more on the back.
The bodyguard captain standing nearby couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to pull Luo Cheng away, "Young Master Luo, let it go. Miss Yuxuan is just a young girl. Why are you taking your anger out on her?"
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Luo Cheng's eyes widened as he pointed at the tall and burly bodyguard captain.
The bodyguard captain, a kind-looking man in his early thirties, stood firmly in front of Luo Yuxuan, saying, "I wouldn't dare. I just think Young Master Luo shouldn't bully my sister like that."
"Fine, fine, you've gone too far! You wait, when we get back to the Luo family, I'll have my dad fire you!"
Luo Cheng's face turned ashen with anger. He turned and stormed off with his confidant, slapping Luo Yuxuan on the back before leaving.
After the brief interlude, the Luo family continued their journey.
But after circling around for more than half an hour, they found themselves still going in circles.
"I can't go on, I'm tired, I need to rest for a while."
Luo Cheng grimaced and plopped down on the ground, taking a piece of braised beef from one of his subordinates' packs and starting to gnaw on it. The bodyguards beside him were also starving, their eyes bloodshot, but they could only swallow their saliva.
"elder brother."
Luo Yuxuan suddenly walked up to Luo Cheng and revealed an exaggerated smile.
