Chapter 142 Departure
Lu Zhan opened his backpack and saw that it was full.
Sleeping bags, tents, medicines, compressed biscuits...
Chu Qiao picked up Lu Zhan's backpack and prepared to throw it to Brother Feng who was watching the fun.
"Brother Feng, take it back and put it away."
Lu Zhan grabbed one strap of the backpack, while Chu Qiao pulled the other. The two of them secretly exerted their strength, but the stalemate continued.
Lu Zhan: "Tell me why I can't bring it with me?"
Chu Qiao was annoyed: "Bringing you with me this time is my last resort. I have my own standards and requirements. If everyone brings pots and pans with them when surviving in the wilderness, then surviving in the wilderness will become a joke, and adventure will become a joke."
Lu Zhan slowly loosened his grip and said, "We must get the medicine."
Chu Qiao shook his head: "Doctor Lu has no confidence in himself and is afraid that he won't be able to find a replacement in the wild."
Lu Zhan has always been stubborn and strong-willed: "Miss Chu, you are worrying too much. Let's go."
The two boarded the helicopter.
This is Chu Qiao's first time to survive in the wilderness abroad. According to the encyclopedia, the country they are in this time, Nepal, is a very backward country. However, because of this, the grasslands have not been destroyed and are a paradise for wild animals.
Chu Qiao turned on the drone and the live broadcast system started automatically.
Chu Qiao was just worrying about how to explain to Lu Zhan that she could see the light curtain. Before she could open her mouth, Lu Zhan's eyes widened: "So high-tech?"
Lu Zhan recalled that when he rescued Chu Qiao on Python Island last time, there didn't seem to be such a light curtain. He was in a hurry to save people at that time and didn't notice anything more.
Chu Qiao looked at the light curtain, then at Lu Zhan's expression. The system actually adjusted automatically. Previously, only Chu Qiao could see the light curtain.
Chu Qiao laughed and said, "Aerial projection is not a new technology. Besides, I can't bring my phone with me when I go out to survive in the wilderness."
Lu Zhan did not deny it, but he did not agree with it either. After all, such equipment existed, but the price was so high that it was not something that ordinary people could afford.
Before Chu Qiao could even start explaining Lu Zhan's appearance, the comments in the live broadcast room were already flooding the screen like crazy.
Last time, there were many unfamiliar faces in the Snow Lotus live broadcast room. These people did not know Chu Qiao, so when they saw him this moment, they immediately couldn't accept it.
"Oh my god, what's going on? Master Chu is asking for his life and bringing a doctor with him?"
"No, I have to survive with my pots and pans too."
"Exactly. Isn't this the same as using cheats in gaming?"
Chu Qiao looked at Lu Zhan awkwardly.
Lu Zhan originally wanted to explain and clarify the situation of African swine fever.
Chu Qiao waved his hand and spoke first. The helicopter was very narrow, and the sound of the rotating propellers forced Chu Qiao to shout:
"Dear friends, old and new, this time we're heading to the South African savannah for six days. The South African savannah is vast, home to a multitude of wild animals, especially carnivores. Our group will cross the South African savannah and reach the border with Nigeria. As for Dr. Lu next to me, he's bringing nothing with him this time and will be exploring Africa with me. It can be said that on this dangerous journey, I've gained both a comrade and a responsibility."
"Why does it sound like Mr. Chu is trying to find ways to say that Dr. Lu is a burden?"
"I can prove that anyone is a burden in front of Master Chu."
"Doesn't our Doctor Lu have any dignity?"
"That's right, Mr. Chu, Doctor Lu saved you after all, so give him some face."
Chu Qiao glanced at Lu Zhan, only to see that Lu Zhan didn't care at all. He curled his lips and said, "I hope I can get Xiaoqiao's protection this time."
"Little Bridge?"
Chu Qiao's first reaction was that the name sounded awkward.
Lu Zhan didn't give him a chance to refute: "Xiao Qiao, what do you think?"
Chu Qiao coughed and said seriously, "Of course."
After a round of teasing, Chu Qiao began to speak seriously, "We brought Dr. Lu here this time because we're launching a crowdfunding campaign. As long as the crowdfunding reward reaches 500,000, our wilderness survival will be extended by one day. If it reaches 1 million, it will be extended by two days, and so on."
"In order to ensure that wilderness survival can proceed smoothly during a long period of time in the wild, we brought along the experienced Dr. Lu."
"I told you, with Mr. Chu's strength, does he still need a doctor?"
“It turns out it will take longer.”
"Support Master Chu. Life is the most important thing. The last few times were too dangerous."
After briefly explaining the location of the grassland to everyone, Chu Qiao and Lu Zhan closed their eyes and rested in order to better face the unknown challenges ahead.
The two men sat upright, their eyes closed but their bodies straight, their heads resting on the helicopter seats, one on the left and one on the right, both wearing army green outdoor clothes, like two soldiers going on a mission.
The live broadcast room was affected by this serious atmosphere, and the barrage of comments gradually decreased, and people slowly watched the two people's breathing.
Six hours later, the two changed to an off-road vehicle.
Chu Qiao explained to the camera, "From now on, we're entering the grassland. You can see the windows of this off-road vehicle are sealed with metal mesh. This is because on this vast grassland, anything can happen. A lion might knock on your door at any time."
"Oh my god, the car windows need to be sealed. Are you going there to get yourself killed?"
"The one upstairs, Master Chu, fought a shark with his bare hands."
"How can it be the same? Sharks are the kings of the sea, and they have very limited ability to attack humans. Lions and tigers are the kings of land."
Chu Qiao laughed: "I hope I won't run into them."
Lu Zhan was not so optimistic. He was wary of any potential danger.
The drone shot outside through the car window, showing endless green, with occasional mountains in the distance. It was already morning here, and the shadows of the trees were lengthened.
A group of antelopes in front were scared by the off-road vehicle and ran around in panic.
The driver had to stop the car because he was afraid of hitting the frightened lamb that had escaped from the flock.
The shaking stopped, and Chu Qiao took the opportunity to take out the hamburgers, French fries, and pizza that Zhang Jian had prepared for the two of them and handed them to Lu Zhan.
Chu Qiao is never picky about food. After taking a bite, his mouth is covered with salad dressing.
Lu Zhan looked at the pizza stuffed into his hand and frowned.
Chu Qiao stuffed his mouth with food and said incoherently, "Why don't you eat?"
Lu Zhanyang raised the food in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth: "I haven't eaten for a long time."
Chu Qiao raised the corner of his mouth: "Doctor Lu doesn't eat fast food?"
Lu Zhan was stunned for a moment: "Professional habit."
Chu Qiao was worried that he wouldn't be used to the food, so he rummaged through the bag again, only to find milk and vegetable salad.
Chu Qiao handed it to him and said, "Eat this. Eat it all. Survival in the wilderness is no joke. You must ensure your physical strength."
Lu Zhan shook his head: "Let's go together. Since we're out now, there's no need to be so particular."
Chu Qiao was quite surprised. This guy who was always particular about things could adapt to the local customs. It seemed that he had some brains.
