Chapter 143
After all, Xia En's "white dragon horse" could not go far. As the sun rose higher in the sky, Xia En could not bear it anymore. Chu Huaiqin hurriedly asked Xia En to rest to prevent him from getting heatstroke.
"Drink some water!" Chu Huaiqin handed the water to Xia En and asked him to sit in the flatbed truck to seek shade, but Xia En refused.
"Gulp!" After taking two gulps of water, Xia Shang handed the kettle back to Chu Huaiqin. "At our current pace, we'll reach the next food stop by 3:00 PM."
"Don't force me to leave," Chu Huaiqin frowned and said, "It's harmful to your health."
“Woo woo woo!”
As the two chatted, they heard the sound of a large bear nearby. Looking over, they saw a large bear three meters away curiously fiddling with a pull cord on the ground. Xia En was immediately startled and quickly stood up, trying to grab it back, but was stopped by Chu Huaiqin.
"Let it try." Chu Huaiqin said with a smile.
"Too dangerous," Xia Entang disagreed. Chu Huaiqin had suggested having a big bear pull the plank, and Xia Entang had initially thought it was a good idea. But last night, after seeing the little monk towing Chu Huaiqin for a test run, he'd decided against it. The reason was simple: even a human towing the little monk wouldn't have the right control, so what if an uncontrolled bear sent Chu Huaiqin flying?
"Wow, brother, sure, sure, that's cool." The little monk looked envious. He also wanted to be pulled by the bear and fly.
"Get out of here!" Xia En glared at the little monk. "Let me do it! Or do you think I'm too slow?"
"Don't make trouble. My foot will take a week to heal. You can't wait a week." Chu Huaiqin said. People's fatigue will accumulate. The first day is okay, the second day may be barely passable, but what about the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day?
There is already a shortage of food and water, and Xia Entropy will quickly collapse.
"Big Bear, come here." Chu Huaiqin supported his chin and waved to Big Bear.
Hearing Chu Huaiqin's voice, it looked over. Chu Huaiqin waved again, and the Gobi bear moved its body and stretched its head to the top of the shed.
Chu Huaiqin smiled, poured water on his hand, and placed it in front of the Gobi bear. The bear looked at Chu Huaiqin cautiously for a moment, then moved its nose slightly to sniff the water in his hand, and finally stretched out its tongue to lick it.
Xia En was so frightened by this scene that his throat was raised. If he had not been afraid of scaring the bear with his big movements, he would have pulled Chu Huaiqin back.
After drinking a few sips of water, the Gobi bear stopped and continued to fiddle with the rope on the ground with its claws.
"Big Bear, take me for a walk!" Chu Huaiqin tightened the mouth of the kettle, held it in his arms, and smiled at the Gobi Bear. The big bear turned his head, looked at Chu Huaiqin, blinked, and did not move.
Chu Huaiqin thought about it, waved to the big bear, and waited for it to lower its head. Chu Huaiqin put the pull rope on its head. Maybe it was because it had seen Xia Entang's behavior, but it immediately understood what Chu Huaiqin did. It first tentatively pulled the rope, and saw Chu Huaiqin move.
A happy "gurgling" sound came from its throat, and then it pulled again. Seeing Chu Huaiqin moving again, the Gobi bear waved its claws. Then, the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room were fortunate enough to see the Gobi bear pulling Chu Huaiqin.
Chu Huaiqin was just trying it out, and unexpectedly, he was so pleased with the results. Chu Huaiqin was interested because the Gobi Bear had been sending him fruit and chickens, which had intrigued him. Gobi Bears don't eat wild chickens, but they caught them and brought them to him, which showed that the bear had the ability to learn. Xia Entang had been pooping all morning today, and it had indeed learned the lesson.
Live broadcast room:
"It is ultimately the one that bears this heavy responsibility."
With the addition of the Gobi bear, the group's speed increased. Chu Huaiqin, who was sitting at the back, opened his backpack and fed it a sand date from time to time while the Gobi bear was pulling him away.
At noon, they arrived at the food station. This time, the food wasn't meat, but cactus. The previous group had nearly destroyed most of the cactus, but they still managed to get a good bit. Lacking water, they skipped cooking and just munched on it. The Gobi bears watched with amusement, crunching on pieces of cactus themselves. After a half-hour rest, they set off again. The young monk simply put his backpack on the flatbed truck. Without it, he felt like a free-ranging monkey.
As they traveled faster and faster, they reached the next food point in just six hours. Most importantly, they caught up with the team in front of them at five in the afternoon.
Everyone was stunned when they looked at Xia Entang and the little monk with empty hands, and then at Chu Huaiqin who was sitting in the covered cart like an emperor.
Live broadcast room:
"Hahaha, no, hahaha, what are these people looking at? Their eyes are about to pop out of their heads."
"Did you see the expressions on Chen and Arnold's faces? They're both green. Hahahaha, so cool."
"And the Maozi team's jaws are about to drop."
The live broadcast room was very happy, but some of the participating teams were unhappy. The people from Kangaroo Country pointed at Chu Huaiqin and stuttered for a long time before shouting: "They violated the rules."
"If you have the ability, you can get a bear to pull you." The director of the group said lightly.
Everyone: ...
This time, Chu Huaiqin arrived at the food point earlier than the others and dug up a lot of potatoes to cook. The potatoes, cooked with salt, were so delicious that even the Gobi bear ate several.
The other teams didn't arrive until 7pm, a full hour and a half later than the Gungun team. While they were tired and looking for food, Chu Huaiqin and his team had already eaten their fill and were gazing at the stars.
"Hmph!" Arnold snorted as he walked past Chu Huaiqin and his friends' tent.
Many people in the live broadcast room were so angry that they wanted to jump from their computers to the live broadcast and fight Arnold for 800 rounds.
The atmosphere was tense as the teams converged, with Chu Huaiqin injured and Arnold present. However, no matter how dissatisfied Xia Entanglement was with him, he wouldn't choose to attack Chu Huaiqin while he was injured.
Chu Huaiqin wasn't in a rush for revenge; his goal was to stay ahead of these people and live a life where he could choose whatever food he wanted. And with the Gobi Bear joining them, their speed was undeniable. The Gobi Bear had become addicted to pulling the cart, treating it like a game. Even Xia Entropy dared to snatch it away, and it got impatient.
The audience in the live broadcast room gasped with laughter as they watched Gobi Bear compete with Xia Entang, who was worried about Chu Huaiqin's safety.
"Today's wilderness survival is so joyful, hahaha."
“The best ever.”
"Agree."
The audience in the live broadcast room cheered for Chu Huaiqin and his team more and more loudly. When the Rolling Team left the other teams far behind, they shouted with joy. The little monk was also very happy, but as Chu Huaiqin's foot was almost healed, he felt a little uneasy. He felt that he had been having too much fun these days and seemed to have forgotten something.
Soon, Chu Huaiqin's feeling came true.
Chu Huaiqin's foot had almost completely subsided, and the doctor said it was fine. He planned to walk again tomorrow. At noon today, they came to the food station. This time, the food was meat, chicken, and duck. Chu Huaiqin saw it from afar with binoculars. The young monk jumped for joy when he heard it. These days, they've been eating either cactus or sweet potatoes. Although they love these things, they're exhausted from traveling, and without meat, they can't replenish their body fat.
Seeing the meat in the poplar forest from afar, Chu Huaiqin and the others were very happy. The Gobi bear was also happy. It let out a loud "Awoo" and ran away with its feet spread out. Its speed stunned Xia Entang and the little monk who were following behind.
"Big Bear, stop right there." Xia Entropy reacted the fastest. He threw his backpack away and ran out to chase.
"Ah, brother, brother, give it back to me." The little monk dragged Xia En's backpack and chased after him. Except for the first day when he put the backpack on the drag board for the Gobi bear to pull, they carried it themselves afterwards. The Gobi bear suddenly went crazy, and the little monk was so scared that tears came to his eyes.
Chu Huaiqin was also frightened by the Gobi bear's sudden movement. He called out "Big Bear" several times and was wondering whether to roll off the trailer when he saw it slowly slowing down.
Chu Huaiqin breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to ask the Gobi bear to stop. He was so scared that his heart was beating a little fast. It turned out that he was too happy recently and ended up in trouble.
“Ouch!”
Before Chu Huaiqin disembarked from the trolley, the three hungry wolves he had forgotten about finally appeared. They howled and pounced on the chickens and ducks. A Gobi bear was directly in front of them. The wolves' ferocious presence and imposing power were truly impressive. But the bear was frightened. Perhaps it was timid or perhaps it had been bullied by the three wolves before, but when the wolves pounced, the Gobi bear roared in fear and dragged Chu Huaiqin with it, hurtling through the poplar forest and heading straight for a cliff that blocked the road in the distance...
It's over.
Sure enough, the good times didn’t last long.
The following sentence popped up in almost everyone's mind: Chu Huaiqin is finished.
