Chapter 309: Excessive Force
[Um, Master Chu's tongue is also being trained.]
[Mr. Chu clearly felt that the tea leaves were too little and was reluctant to use them.]
This is too pitiful. Let’s find some water quickly.
Chu Qiao nodded: "I'm observing the terrain, don't worry."
They didn't know how long they had been walking.
Chu Qiao's legs dragged on the ground like a mop, moved back and forth by the control of his body.
The three people behind him were far behind.
Chu Qiao didn't dare to stop, because once he stopped, he would never be able to stand up again.
As night fell, the lake that Chu Qiao had imagined did not appear, nor did the rain that Chu Qiao expected.
She suddenly stopped. It seemed that relying on the clouds and God's mercy would not work.
And tonight is indeed not suitable for any further action.
Chu Qiao stood there, and although he was very tired, he did not fall down.
Because she has teammates behind her, if she falls, they will have no faith and hope to support them.
Chu Qiao stood there for a full hour before the three small black dots behind him turned into three human figures and walked towards him.
Director Xiao seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant.
Xiao Wang's lips trembled: "If I had known, I would never have suffered this with you even if I were beaten to death."
Chu Qiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have brought everyone here even if everyone misunderstood. It's too dangerous."
Jokes aside, reality still needs to be faced. Chu Qiao pointed to the flat land and said, "Okay, let's rest here tonight. Fortunately, it's not cold here. Get a good night's sleep. I will definitely lead everyone to find a water source tomorrow."
Without saying a word, several people lay on the ground with tea leaves that had long lost their taste in their mouths.
On the third day in Iceland, Chu Qiao opened his eyes and found that he had only slept for four hours.
Before 8 a.m., the drone did not start automatically.
Chu Qiao turned on the drone and looked carefully at himself in front of the light screen. The dry skin on his lips was curled up, his mouth was full of cracks, and the red blood had coagulated and turned black.
He shook his head and said that if we didn’t find a water source today, we would not be able to survive.
Many people came into the live broadcast room intermittently. Chu Qiao's voice was hoarse: "Today is the third day of survival in Iceland. I really hope to see a family, a village, to end this survival."
"But that's the meaning of wilderness survival, challenging the limits and the impossible."
"Today, the most urgent thing is to find water."
In fact, water is the least scarce thing in Iceland, and the water outdoors in Iceland is very clean.
Almost all the water you see in the wild is drinkable.
Chu Qiao woke everyone up. The three of them had only slept for four hours and were still drowsy.
"Can we rest for a while longer?" Director Xiao seemed a little overwhelmed. After all, in August in Iceland, the daytime was too long and the night was only six hours long. He couldn't get a good rest at all.
Chu Qiao shook his head: "We can't sleep any more. If we continue to sleep, the moisture in our bodies will evaporate when the sun rises. We don't have any water to replenish it, so it's easy to get into trouble."
Director Xiao had to get up, and the two young men didn't dare to sleep anymore.
They continued walking south. Chu Qiao looked back at the direction of the volcano as he walked. The sky was blurry, and the not-so-high crater was still billowing with smoke.
Chu Qiao turned her head and saw Director Xiao observing as she did.
"Director Xiao, stop looking. The plane can't come in this situation."
Director Xiao sighed in frustration: "It seems that we can only leave it to fate."
"Don't be so pessimistic, I'm here for you." Chu Qiao tried his best to cheer the three people up so that they wouldn't be overwhelmed by disappointment and lose the will to live.
As she spoke, Chu Qiao suddenly felt a flash of light, and her eyes lit up: "What is that?"
"Is it water?"
Xiao Wang: "Yes, yes, it really is."
Xiao Wang jumped up excitedly, and the trio, who had been feeling weak just now, suddenly shouted and ran towards the light.
Chu Qiao shook his head and shouted, "Stop running, walk slower."
"Why aren't you in a hurry at all?" Xiao Wang looked at Chu Qiao strangely.
Chu Qiao maintained a steady pace: "The lake you see now is just a small dot in our eyes, which means it's very far away. If you start running now, you'll be exhausted before you even get halfway."
"I don't believe it, it's not that far." Xiao Wang curled his lips.
Xiao Wang and Huang Li looked at each other and said, "Let's go first."
Although Director Xiao also wanted to get there quickly, he couldn't bear to see Chu Qiao alone, so he chose to move at a constant speed with her.
Director Xiao: "This is indeed a bit slow. How about we speed up?"
Chu Qiao shook his head: "All excessive exertion comes from ignorance. In wilderness survival, the hard part isn't speeding up; the hard part is maintaining a steady pace on the steepest mountains and the most difficult seas."
[Holy crap, is Master Chu giving the director a lesson?]
[Master Chu, you are a bit bolder.]
[It's expanding.]
[Why do I feel that what Master Chu said makes a lot of sense?]
[That’s right, the director doesn’t know everything.]
Chu Qiao was reminded by the barrage and became embarrassed: "Director Xiao, I don't mean to preach. I... am not qualified."
Director Xiao looked at Chu Qiao's pretended panic and said, "Alright, alright, I know you're not afraid of offending me at all. Besides, what you said makes sense."
Because Chu Qiao and Director Xiao maintained a moderate speed, the entire process of moving was like an inertial movement, with their legs and feet automatically moving forward, saving energy to the maximum extent possible.
However, the two people in front were exhausted and unable to continue, so their acceleration became slower and slower.
When Xiao Wang was halfway through his journey, he felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body.
Chu Qiao and Director Xiao, on the other hand, looked relaxed and easily surpassed the two.
At this moment, the two men's sense of belief collapsed, and they both sat there, motionless.
Chu Qiao turned back helplessly: "Don't sit still, get up and keep walking."
"I can't do it anymore. I'll take a break and catch up with you guys later."
"Me too."
Chu Qiao frowned. Based on her understanding of people's lazy nature, once they fell down, it would be difficult to get up again.
"No, get up immediately and keep walking."
Director Xiao looked at the two men, sweating profusely, and couldn't help but persuade them, "Why don't you let them rest for a while? The lake is there anyway, and they can't escape."
Xiao Wang and Huang Li nodded vigorously like obedient children.
"Director Xiao, I can't listen to you this time. You must get up, otherwise I will force you both to get up."
Chu Qiao's expression changed instantly. The determination and seriousness in his eyes made Xiao Wang and Huang Li stunned, and suddenly a little scared.
"Go, go, go. I can't walk anymore." Xiao Wang muttered and stood up reluctantly.
Chu Qiao's expression finally relaxed.
She deliberately slowed down her pace so that Xiao Wang and Huang Li could catch up.
Although they walked slowly, they did not stop and reached the lake in just over an hour.
