"So timid?" Chu Xingyue chuckled.
Ignoring the drone beside me, I looked directly into the distance; it was already getting light at five o'clock in the morning in summer.
I was listening intently, but the sound of drone wings kept coming.
Chu Xingyue beckoned to the drone with her finger.
The drone flew up to Chu Xingyue.
"Stay away from me, you're already affecting me. Getting any closer..."
Chu Xingyue didn't say anything more, but she reached out and touched her fist.
I glanced sideways at the drone.
I don't know if it was just my imagination, but the drone seemed to shake a little before it left.
Ignoring the drone in the distance, Chu Xingyue closed her eyes and listened to the sounds from afar.
"Found it!" He opened his eyes, slid down quickly, and soon jumped to the ground.
Chu Jiaojiao brought Xia Yiyang and Jun Yan over.
"Go back and tell them that there is a water source ahead, and we can rest there for a while and get something to eat."
Chu Jiaojiao happily replied, "I'll go, I'll go," and then turned and ran away.
"Is Jiaojiao alright all by herself?" Junyan looked at Xia Yiyang beside her. She wondered why Xia Yiyang, a boy, didn't take the initiative to go and let the girl go instead.
"I can't beat her even if there are several of us, so who would be unlucky if we tried to take her away? Besides, we're not far from each other."
"Don't worry, no one will be so reckless as to start a fight right from the beginning."
Chu Xingyue reassured Jun Yan, telling her to relax.
The three didn't have to wait long before Du Kangli arrived with his team.
Chu Xingyue squinted at Ge Jun's team that was following not far away.
How far is the water source from us?
Du Kangli looked at Chu Xingyue and asked.
"It should take about an hour to get there."
"It's not fully light yet, so it's okay if we go slowly. By the time we reach the water source, it will probably be fully light, and then we'll go full speed ahead."
Wei Haiyang offered his suggestions.
Chu Xingyue nodded in agreement.
No one else had any objections; they assured each other they wouldn't hold anyone back.
The fourteen members of Team Nine made steady progress toward the water source, while Team Twenty-Nine followed at a leisurely pace.
"An'an, do you want me to go and tease them?"
Chu Jiaojiao gestured with her lip toward the group following behind.
"No need, don't worry about them. Let's finish eating and get going."
"Listen, can you hear the sound of water?" Tian Jingjing whispered, tugging at Leng Shuang in front of her.
"We should be getting close to the water source soon. Everyone, hurry up and try to get there before dawn."
Du Kangli said from behind
The group quickened their pace.
"Wow, the river water is so clear! Come on, wash your faces and wake up!"
Seeing the river in front of them, the group was very happy, indicating that their direction was currently correct.
"You guys go first, I'll stay here and watch the luggage. Come back and let me go when you're ready."
Zhang Cheng, who had been quiet the whole way, took the initiative to tell everyone to go ahead while he stayed and watched over the things.
"Okay, I'll go first, and I'll come back to relieve you later."
Wei Haiyang took off his baggage and placed it at Zhang Cheng's feet. Seeing this, the others also took off their baggage.
"Brother, you've worked hard."
Chu Xingyue first went to the riverbank to observe the terrain. The river didn't look very deep, but there were no paths to walk on either side. It seemed that they would have no other way to go but to swim across.
First, find something to eat.
The river water is very clear, and fish swim around from time to time. On summer mornings, the fish at the bottom of the river will rise to the surface to breathe. When the sun rises, they will hide back at the bottom of the river.
This is a good time to catch them.
