"Today we'll set out from the lake and head east into the jungle. Leng Mengyao and Yin Yichen, you will lead the way. Try to follow the same path you took when you came here and return to the cave you once lived in. We'll try to bring back all the useful supplies there. We'll then award points based on everyone's contribution."
Lu Xuan already had a preliminary plan for today's operation. The fatal disadvantage of traveling by land was the lack of large-scale transportation tools, so he had to bring enough laborers, otherwise even if he really saw supplies, he would not have enough capacity to transport them back.
As for the coolies, apart from myself, there are only the three beauties in front of me.
Chen Keyin naturally chose to follow Lu Xuan unconditionally, even without those points that were meaningless to her.
Leng Mengyao was still immersed in shyness, and she no longer had the domineering image of a female CEO from yesterday. She just nodded slightly to show her agreement.
"Handsome guy, you have to protect us along the way..."
Yin Yichen was still frightened by the wild wolf she encountered last night.
"This is a weapon. Everyone should get one. As long as we come back before dark, we'll probably be safe. After all, the machete in my hand is not to be trifled with."
No one can guarantee that you will never encounter wild wolves when going out and that it is completely safe.
But there is no need to stop eating and wait for death in the cave just because there are wild wolves outside the cave.
Not to mention the distant situation, let’s say you are in the city, you might get hit by a car if you go out. Could it be that you will never go out for the rest of your life because you are afraid of being hit?
Moreover, after listening to Yin Yichen and Leng Mengyao's descriptions, there really were a lot of good things in the cave they had been in. If I missed it and someone else got there first, it would be too late to regret it.
Lu Xuan carried the machete himself, with a dagger and Swiss Army knife in his pocket, and a backpack filled with drinking water, dry food and some necessary items. The three girls each carried a harpoon that Lu Xuan had improved and prepared to set off.
Before going out, Lu Xuan carefully checked the front and back yards, erasing as much trace of human activities as possible, and then closed the two bamboo doors in order to hide his residence.
Lu Xuan even made some arrangements in the cave and hid some supplies that he thought were important.
After making all the preparations, the four of them came out of the back cave.
Led by Leng Mengyao and Yin Yichen, with Chen Keyin in the middle and Lu Xuan at the end, the four of them set out from the lake and headed east.
I have to say that this beautiful cold girl has a really good brain. At first glance, the dirt roads in the jungle all look similar, but this girl can always find the way.
"Go here, I remember walking past this place last night..."
"Here, here. Last night, we should have passed through here..."
Leng Mengyao looked here and there from time to time, sometimes looking up at the branches in front of him, sometimes looking down at the marks on the soil, and walked eastward with the three of them.
"President Leng, how do you remember all this? It was so dark last night, how come I don't have any recollection of it at all?"
Yin Yichen, who was traveling with him, was surprised and curious when she saw Leng Mengyao leading everyone forward like a navigator.
"Actually, I was pretty nervous last night, so I'm not sure if the exact route I took is correct. But I remember this tree bark and this patch of mud. The bark felt rough and lumpy, crumbling at the touch. And the mud was soft, making it easy for my feet to sink into it. Also, when I passed through this jungle last night, I roughly measured the distance between the trees, and the width was about 1.5 meters. So, based on all that, this is most likely the path..."
After listening to Leng Mengyao's analysis, even Lu Xuan couldn't help but praise him. He was indeed a man who was qualified to be a boss. Even without using his eyes, he could still "keep his eyes and ears open."
"Meng Yao is amazing! She was the provincial champion and the only female champion in science in South China in the past ten years."
Chen Keyin knew her best friend very well. Although Leng Mengyao had a cold personality and was aloof, especially not good at dealing with men, her brain was far superior to that of ordinary people. She only needed half a minute to remember things that others took half an hour to remember.
"God must be so good to you. You're beautiful, have a good figure, and you're smart. It's so unfair, so unfair..."
Yin Yichen was a little envious of Leng Mengyao at that moment.
Lu Xuan didn't think that far, but having more smart people in the team is still quite beneficial. It seems that letting Leng Mengyao join the team is the right choice.
"Look, the jungle ends here. There should be a flat land ahead. If I remember correctly, there are a lot of vines on this land. Everyone should be extra careful not to trip. Yin Yichen and I almost tripped when we passed by last night. As long as we pass this place and go forward for another twenty minutes, we will see another jungle. After passing through it, we will reach our cave."
While a few people were still lamenting the unfairness of God, Leng Mengyao, who was walking in front, seemed to have found the exit of the jungle.
Following Leng Mengyao's lead, the group emerged from the jungle. Before long, they discovered a patchwork of low vegetation, covered in verdant vines. Some were as thick as arms, others as slender as silk, winding like veins in the earth or the dancing ribbons of elves, adding a touch of vitality and energy to the landscape. However, this also presented a significant challenge to Lu Xuan and his group.
After carefully passing through the vine area, everyone entered a jungle again.
Compared to the previous jungle, this place seemed even darker and more eerie. Even the omnipotent sunlight could only barely penetrate the dense treetops, sprinkling mottled light on the ground, forming patches of light and shadow.
More than half an hour later, when everyone was a little tired, Leng Mengyao, who was walking in the front, pointed forward excitedly.
"Look, that's it. Behind that rock is our cave. We escaped from this cave last night."
Lu Xuan looked in the direction of Leng Mengyao's finger. Behind a lush patch of vegetation, there was indeed a dark gray rock. About one and a half meters high on the left side of the rock, a faint light was reflected.
"Please keep watch around you. I'll go take a look at what's going on inside..."
Lu Xuan looked around and after confirming that it was safe, he pushed aside the bushes, handed the machete to Shen Keyin behind him, and then climbed up the rock with his bare hands.
After digging to the 40-centimeter-wide hole, Lu Xuan cautiously stuck his head out and looked inside...
This cave is far smaller than his own. It is estimated to be only about 50 to 60 square meters at most. There are uneven stalactites hanging above the cave.
Just as Lu Xuan looked towards the front of the cave, he suddenly discovered something moving on the ground...
