"This girl is so young, yet she's so skilled," Mr. Leng remarked, watching the girl on stage talking to his daughter.
Everyone had a great time.
While everyone was showering, Li Si had already discussed a collaboration with Leng Shuang's younger brother, Leng Bin. Even after the car had driven far away and was out of sight, Leng Bin still looked at his phone, somewhat bewildered, and saw the amount deposited into his bank account.
Who are his sister's comrades-in-arms? They can give away a million dollars in one go.
Actually, Leng Bin was overthinking it. Li Si just wanted to find a reliable place to provide some benefits for the company, and Leng Bin seemed quite reliable from the beginning, so it was a good idea to do him a favor.
Xia Yijun and her group parted ways with the rest of the team at the entrance and went their separate ways.
Leng Shuang received a message from her younger brother while she was in the car.
He sent the screenshots of himself and his brother to Chu Xingyue.
Chu Xingyue told her not to worry and to let her younger brother handle everything.
Leng Shuang sent a message to her younger brother, telling him to do a good job and not to embarrass herself or the martial arts school.
Leng Bin was finally relieved after receiving his sister's message.
It was already past midnight when the team arrived at the villa. Chu Jiaojiao led the group inside, with Gu Yanci and Chu Xingyue following behind.
When Chu Xingyue and her companion entered, the group sat on the sofa and looked at her.
"What are you looking at me for? Picking a location?"
"We haven't thought of that yet."
"Since we're going to survive in the wilderness, let's go to the rainforest. Black Country has the world's largest rainforest, which stretches for thousands of miles and is rarely visited by people. It is known as the rainforest of death."
"Is it this exciting right from the start?"
Everyone else who heard this looked intrigued; it was definitely going to be a challenge.
This resource-rich rainforest was too dangerous, and the Black Kingdom government didn't have the funds to develop it. Several countries sent people in to develop it time and again, but the Black Kingdom government didn't care who came to develop it; as long as they paid, they would let them in. However, no one ever came back after they went in. All the countries saw that it was too dangerous, and eventually no one went anymore. The Black Kingdom government also gave up on this rainforest.
Anyone who wants to go in can go in, and this place has become a place for many explorers to explore, but whether they come out or not is unknown.
Chu Xingyue explained the dangers of the rainforest to everyone, letting them choose whether or not to go. If they didn't want to go, they could choose a relatively safe place.
After a brief discussion, the team members unanimously decided to venture into the dreaded rainforest.
Gu Yanci was also very interested. He had stayed on the outer edge of the rainforest before but had never gone inside. Now that he had the opportunity, he wanted to go along as well.
Chu Xingyue remained silent throughout their discussion; having brought it up, she was determined not to let them leave empty-handed.
"An'an, I'll prepare the equipment. I've been there before."
"Have you been there?"
"Yes, it's been several years. Back then, I was chasing a fugitive, and he ran into this rainforest. It was too dangerous in there, so I received orders to abandon the pursuit and only circled the outer perimeter."
"Oh? There's this part too?"
"I wonder if that person survived. It's so dangerous inside, I reckon even if they did, it would have been a near-death experience."
"Then prepare a few small items to take with you, and you can prepare everything else."
"Okay, I definitely won't let you down."
Gu Yanci liked Chu Xingyue very much and asked her for favors.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"Okay, go back and get some rest."
Chu Xingyue escorted Gu Yanci to his car. Gu Yanci sat inside, while Chu Xingyue stood beside the car. Before she knew it, Gu Yanci grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.
"You must be in my dreams."
Hearing Gu Yanci's pounding heartbeat in his ears, he gave a slight smile.
"Hmm," she said, quickly lifting her head to lightly touch Gu Yanci's lips before getting out of the car just as fast.
By the time Gu Yanci realized what was happening, Chu Xingyue had already entered the room. She reached out and touched the corner of her mouth, chuckling softly, "Next time, I won't let you escape like this."
Upon returning, Chu Xingyue took out her phone and called Chu Gengli, requesting permission to lead her team to the rainforest for training.
Chu Gengli, somewhat worried, spoke up when he heard that they were going to such a dangerous rainforest.
"An'an, are you sure everything is alright? You must bring everyone back safely."
"Uncle, I will bring back as many men as I take out."
Chu Xingyue's words seemed arrogant, but they contained absolute confidence.
"When do we depart?"
"First thing tomorrow morning."
"Alright, have a safe journey. You can decide your own return date, but you must make sure you come back safe and sound."
"yes"
The call ended.
"So, what did the boss say?"
Lu Zehua asked Chu Xingyue with some concern.
"We'll decide our own return date."
"Yay!"
The group breathed a sigh of relief, having feared that their superiors would not allow them to leave.
With Boss Chu in charge, there's nothing to worry about. What was originally planned as a trip for fun has now turned into training. A slight mistake could cost them their lives.
"Don't get too excited yet. If we're careless, I can't guarantee I can bring you all back safe and sound. Although I've assured the leadership, it still depends on all of you to be careful."
"yes"
"Get some rest. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."
A large bus was already parked outside the villa before dawn.
After getting off the plane, we drove for more than ten hours before finally arriving at the entrance to the rainforest.
From the outside, the rainforest stretched as far as the eye could see, and the entrance resembled a ferocious beast with its mouth wide open, causing the group of people who saw it to look at each other in dismay, their hearts filled with unease.
On the way here, Gu Yanci had prepared equipment for everyone in advance.
"Everyone, check your equipment again."
Everyone looked down and checked their equipment, making sure there were no problems. When they saw that Chu Jiaojiao's bag was full of seasonings, they all fell silent. No one spoke. After all, she had a great older sister who was an excellent barbecue chef. Anyway, they would benefit from it too, and they would get to eat some as well. The few people who were a little unsure about the situation became a little excited.
There's no way around it, the boss's cooking skills are just too good.
This time they're probably going to be disappointed. With Gu Yanci following Chu Xingyue, Chu Xingyue basically won't be allowed to take action unless there are special circumstances.
Aside from the equipment arranged by Gu Yanci, the team members were even wearing newly developed special materials that could dehumidify and were waterproof, maintaining the body's surface temperature.
Therefore, this kind of clothing is perfectly suited for the rainforest.
Only Gu Yanci and Chu Xingyue from the previous life have this kind of experience; no one else has it.
The team members had experienced various dangerous missions with Chu Xingyue, but this was their first time. From the moment they learned they were coming here, they knew how dangerous it would be and that they might not return.
Chu Xingyue looked at everyone. If they could all return safely from this training, it would be a qualitative leap for them.
Chu Xingyue's voice was devoid of any emotion.
"Before we go in, I have a few more things to say. From now on, I don't want anyone to act cleverly or alone. We are a group, and absolute unity is required. This isn't the kind of desperate criminals we encounter outside. The dangers inside are unlike anything any of you have ever seen. This is true survival of the fittest; if even one person is left, they will be reduced to ashes. Therefore, if you want to come out together intact, you must obey absolutely. Now, I'll ask one last question: Is anyone dropping out of this training?"
Silence
"Okay, since no one is backing out, then everyone agrees."
Everyone reached a consensus
"Set off"
At a command, everyone set off.
Gu Yanci led the group at the front, while Chu Xingyue was at the very back.
As noon approached, Gu Yanci led the group along what appeared to be a path.
The entrance gradually disappeared from sight behind them. Towering trees were everywhere, their tops invisible, blocking out the scorching sun overhead. The chill clung to their clothes, growing stronger. Noon should have been the hottest time of day, and although they weren't cold, their exposed skin could feel the chill in the air.
Everywhere you look, trees of varying heights and vines intertwine, forming all sorts of strange shapes. Colorful flowers bloom, and the ground beneath your feet is covered with countless layers of leaves, with a rotten smell permeating the air.
