He was panting heavily, put the detector on the ground, and rested his hands on his knees.
The light completely disappeared, and he didn't know what to do.
I took out my phone and glanced at it. It was almost 8:30. Was I really going to have to spend the night here?
Just when he was feeling hopeless, he suddenly saw a signal strength appear on his phone.
His face lit up with joy, and he sent a WeChat message to Zheng Ping.
The signal was still flickering, and it took a long time for the WeChat message to be sent.
Zheng Ping was holding a flashlight and weaving through the bushes.
They began searching separately an hour after confirming Yin Xing's disappearance.
Each person carried a flashlight they had brought from home and split up to search for Yin Xing.
Fearing that he might get lost again if he didn't find Yin Xing, Zheng Ping asked them not to go far and to come back immediately if they noticed a drop in cell phone signal.
Huang Fei stayed behind to guide them.
If anyone gets lost, as long as their phone has a signal, they can contact Huang Feifa for real-time location tracking and get back.
Suddenly, he received a WeChat message on his phone. Zheng Ping took out his phone and saw that it was from Yin Xing!
Where are you?!
Zheng Ping clicked on Yin Xing's voice message and heard what Yin Xing said.
Zheng Ping didn't waste any words and sent the real-time location directly, but Yin Xing's signal was too poor and it was intermittent.
Yin Xing kept fiddling with his phone, even holding it high in the air, hoping to get a better signal.
Finally, the real-time location appeared on the phone, but then it froze and the location stopped updating.
However, there were still directional coordinates, and Yin Xing started walking in the direction of the coordinates.
The signal improved over time and eventually stabilized at one bar. Although it was still intermittent, it was much better than before.
Finally, Yin Xing saw a flashlight beam ahead. He ran towards it, shouting as he went.
"I'm here! I'm here!"
In the quiet wilderness, Zheng Ping seemed to hear someone shouting. He looked in the direction of the sound and shone his flashlight back and forth.
Yin Xing saw the light rushing towards him, as if it had noticed him, and he was so excited that he almost cried.
The leg movements quickened, and the light came closer.
"Zheng Ping, my God, I almost died, you know that?" Yin Xing was so excited when he saw Zheng Ping that he almost collapsed to the ground. Zheng Ping stepped forward and helped him up.
"No, what were you doing? How could this happen?" Zheng Ping complained.
"Let's go back first, my God." Yin Xing was exhausted; only now did he realize how tired he was.
Zheng Ping sent a message in the group, telling everyone to hurry back because Yin Xing had been found.
When they returned, they saw the fire, which had been almost extinguished, burning brightly again, and everyone was sitting around waiting for them.
"No, you let the dog carry it away?"
"What's going on, bro? How come you're lost?"
When everyone saw Yin Xing, they all asked him questions.
"A huge bonfire! My God, I love this bonfire so much!" Yin Xing saw the bonfire and ran straight over to it.
He had never felt the warmth of fire before.
"Don't mention it, here's what happened." Yin Xing rubbed his arms vigorously before telling everyone the story.
“Next time I encounter this situation, I will never be greedy again. You have no idea, I really felt like I was about to die,” Yin Xing said, still shaken.
"Serves you right for not listening to me. I told you we had to head back at five, and you scared us half to death. We all went out looking for you and didn't even have time to eat," Zheng Ping said speechlessly.
Yin Xing clasped his hands together, looked at everyone, and said gratefully, "Thank you everyone, thank you everyone."
Everyone said it was fine; they were all from the same village, and they couldn't just stand by and watch him lose it.
Now that everyone is safe and sound, everyone is relieved.
"What did the gold you found look like? You almost lost your life!"
Someone asked curiously.
Yin Xing took out a small bottle, smiled, and said, "This one is probably worth over four hundred."
The small bottle was passed around among everyone, and everyone was amazed by Yin Xing's good luck.
"Wow, you're even better than Fengzi. You made six hundred yuan today, while Fengzi only made three or four hundred." Someone threw a bottle at Yin Xing and said.
"I was just lucky, I can't compare to Fengzi." Yin Xing shook his head and chuckled.
After resting for a while, everyone was quite hungry, so they started taking out food to fill their stomachs.
Someone put rice and water in an aluminum lunchbox, closed the lid tightly, removed some embers, and placed the box on top.
That way, we'll be able to eat rice in no time.
Most people brought their lunchboxes and placed them by the fire, filled them with water, and prepared to drink some hot water later.
Some people warm the pancakes slightly by placing them near a fire so they won't be too cold when they eat them.
Chen Feng originally wanted to do the same: burn some charcoal to heat the lunchbox and cook two packets of instant noodles.
However, charcoal is too hot, making it troublesome to cook noodles. If the temperature is not high enough, you have to add more, and it's also difficult to eat.
Chen Feng simply took out the ventilation stove, put in two alcohol blocks, filled the lunchbox with water, and sat on it. This made things much easier.
"Fengzi, your thing is really good." Some bystanders said with envy.
"It's alright. It's too late today, I'd better eat something and go to sleep." Chen Feng took out two packets of noodles and a sausage.
The water boiled quickly, and Chen Feng put ham sausages into it. To be honest, Chen Feng regretted not bringing a few eggs.
Next time I'll remember to bring a few eggs; noodles without eggs are soulless noodles.
As soon as the instant noodle seasoning packet was added to the water, the aroma filled the entire area. Everyone who smelled it sniffed, swallowed hard while holding their pancakes, and subconsciously looked towards Chen Feng's position.
It smells so good!
How come they never noticed how delicious instant noodles are before?
I thought the food in my hand was fine, but when I smelled Chen Feng's instant noodles, I suddenly found it hard to swallow.
Huang Fei was also really craving it, but he only brought a few packets of noodles, saving them for the last few days. If he ate them now, he wouldn't have any left in a few days.
"Wow, being able to eat instant noodles in the wild is so comfortable."
"It has to be my peak, I'm so envious."
"Real flax scent, stimulating."
Chen Feng picked at the food with his chopsticks. After being hungry all day, the smell made even him drool.
While the dough was still slightly firm, Chen Feng started slurping it up, unable to resist any longer.
The noodles are at their most chewy and springy at this time; they'll become soggy and not taste good after a while.
In the deserted mine, the night was a bit chilly. There was a huge fire in front of you, and you were eating a bowl of fragrant instant noodles from your lunchbox.
My God, is there anything more beautiful than this? It's so comfortable.
Everyone just watched as Chen Feng slurped up noodles and gnawed on his pancakes, while two others were a little better off, waiting for their rice.
It would be nice to have some chili sauce and pickled vegetables that I brought from home with me.
