After several hours of hiking, the women who had been traveling ahead finally arrived at the resting place that Lin Qianmo had mentioned. The huge open space was surrounded by towering trees, as if it had been deliberately cultivated and created by someone.
Exhausted, the women saw that the ground was not muddy and sat down on the ground one by one.
Despite their exhaustion, they couldn't stop complaining:
"I didn't expect hiking to be so tiring. I wish I hadn't participated in the activity!"
"Yeah, I was scared to death when I crossed the log bridge just now!"
"That's nothing, I'm just annoyed by the mosquitoes here! They're so vicious! My face is covered in bites!"
"Exactly! The mosquitoes on this mountain are incredibly vicious; even mosquito repellent doesn't work!"
Such mournful voices are everywhere; a pervasive negative energy seems to be spreading like a flu...
But they didn't notice that Ouyang Qian, sitting in the corner, remained expressionless, ignoring everyone's complaints, her eyes filled with worry as she gazed back the way they had come...
After waiting for a while, she finally saw the familiar figure she had been longing for...
Lin Qianmo was covered in blood, but she stood tall and proud like a female warrior who had just returned from battle, exuding an aura of dominance over the world.
Seeing Lin Qianmo like this, Ouyang Qian breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to go up and greet her, she saw Cang Yue catch up with Lin Qianmo from behind and start touching her inappropriately. The two seemed to be having an argument.
Upon seeing this, Ouyang Qian subconsciously frowned, and without thinking, stepped forward to the two of them...
"Give it to me now!" Lin Qianmo said coldly, stretching out her hand.
"No way! You promised to let me play with it, how can you take it back!" Cang Yue hid the phone behind her back.
"Stop fooling around! We're about to assemble, get to me right now!" Lin Qianmo snapped.
"No way! 24 hours a day, 240 hours in ten days, not a minute less!" Cang Yue said seriously.
Lin Qianmo frowned. "You're a soldier, not a business tycoon! You have to obey orders!"
"No! You can't go back on your promise! What belongs to me is mine!"
"You..." Lin Qianmo was about to say something, but unexpectedly heard footsteps behind her, so she swallowed her words.
Ouyang Qian approached the two women, looking at them calmly and composedly. She smiled sweetly at Lin Qianmo and said:
"Instructor Lin, did Squad Leader Cangyue make you angry again?"
Hearing Ouyang Qian's words, Cang Yue was stunned. This girl was here to laugh at her! She immediately turned her head away in annoyance: Ouyang Qian is here to flatter Lin Qianmo, she's not a good person!
Lin Qianmo glared at Cang Yue with annoyance, then coughed lightly and spoke gently to Ouyang Qian:
"No, Cang Yue behaved well. She was just guarding her food."
Hearing Lin Qianmo's words, Cang Yue glared back. He actually said she was possessive of her food?! What kind of comparison was that?!
Seeing Lin Qianmo speak up for Cang Yue, Ouyang Qian knew she shouldn't interfere. Instead of asking further questions, she looked at Lin Qianmo's shoulder and asked with concern:
"Instructor Lin, are you alright? Should I re-bandage you?"
That crooked and haphazard bandaging technique is definitely not from a professional!
Cang Yue rolled her eyes. For some reason, she gradually began to dislike Ouyang Qian's hypocritical behavior!
Look at them, they're clearly flattering someone, but they have to pretend to care!
Cang Yue was in a very bad mood, so she opened a bag of spicy snacks and started to vent her emotions!
Seeing Cang Yue start eating on her own, Lin Qianmo gave Cang Yue a cold snort, then spoke gently to Ouyang Qian:
"Don't be fooled by the blood; it's just a superficial wound, nothing serious."
Ouyang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good..."
Seeing Lin Qianmo and Cang Yue return, Hu Yingying took out her snacks and ran up to greet them. But when she got closer, she noticed a shy look in Ouyang Qian's eyes, and something seemed off, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Shaking his head without giving it much thought, he took out his snacks and came to Lin Qianmo:
"Cangyue, Instructor Lin, I have some beef jerky here. Have some to replenish your energy!"
Seeing Hu Yingying sharing her food, Bai Zhi also ran over with a bottle of sports drink:
"Instructor Lin, you've worked hard. Have some drinks."
They completely believed that Lin Qianmo was testing Cang Yue when she pushed her down and then rescued her. Otherwise, why would she have deliberately paired up with Cang Yue?
Actually, Lin Qianmo didn't mean it that way. It was Cang Yue who was too scared to leave, which led to the two of them ending up together by chance.
Seeing Hu Yingying and Bai Zhi's enthusiastic attitude, Lin Qianmo was somewhat surprised, but she refused without hesitation, adhering to her principles and habits:
"In wilderness survival, your food is crucial to your health, and you must never give it away to others. And I must tell you, if you really reach the end of your rope, the most crucial thing in wilderness survival is never to reveal all the food you have on you, because at that time you are not facing creatures that can be called human, but a pack of wolves!"
Upon hearing Lin Qianmo's words, Hu Yingying and Bai Zhi's eyes flashed with a sharp understanding, while the other women silently withdrew the snacks they had prepared to bribe Lin Qianmo.
Lin Qianmo's lecture left everyone speechless, and for a moment no one dared to utter a word, creating a tense atmosphere.
Lin Qianmo herself hadn't expected her words to have such a big impact on everyone. The silence couldn't continue, so she cleared her throat and spoke:
