On the isolated island, there is a virgin forest that has not yet been developed.
Leaving Yashi, the three of them entered the dense jungle.
Not only is it rough, it’s muddy!
The old tree has entangled roots and knotted knots like a dragon.
The branches are intertwined and winding.
Before they had even taken a few steps, Shanshan and Rachel began to regret it.
But now that the matter was over, it was impossible for the two women to turn around and go back.
Security guard Zhao Tianlong was even more depressed.
However, seeing Su Mingzhe, a salesman, climbing up and down, constantly exploring the way, seemingly having endless physical strength, as a 'manual worker', he was naturally not willing to give in, so for that little bit of a man's strength
Dignity, I am still gritting my teeth and persisting.
About half an hour passed.
Looking back at the three people behind him, Su Mingzhe couldn't bear the pitiful sight of one step being too deep and one step too shallow.
The distance traveled by the three of them in this half hour was not even half of the distance they had traveled in the ten minutes just now.
Among them, it was due to the densely forested mountains and rugged terrain that made it difficult to walk, and also due to the three people's physical decline and mental depression.
According to this speed and the degree of physical decline, the three of them would probably collapse from exhaustion before reaching the halfway point of the mountain.
In desperation, Su Mingzhe could only let the three of them sit down and rest against the tree trunk, while he went to explore the road alone.
This time, the three of them did not refuse the kindness.
Shanshan saw that the man was about to rush into the forest without resting, so she quickly reminded:
"Su Mingzhe, be careful and remember the way back!"
"Don't worry, I will leave a mark!"
The man looked like a monkey, and in the blink of an eye he ran deep into the forest and disappeared from sight.
The three of them couldn't help but look at each other.
It’s really annoying to compare people to each other!
There was no road at all on this mountain, and the tangled tree roots on the ground made the three of them slip from time to time.
However, Su Mingzhe walked quickly and steadily.
While they were envious of Su Mingzhe's physical fitness, in fact, a kind of hope arose in the hearts of the three of them.
After all, in this desperate situation, having a strong teammate is undoubtedly a shot in the arm.
Without the burden of the three people, Su Mingzhe quickly shuttled through the jungle.
In less than three minutes, he saw a strong figure appearing in front of him.
"Wang Genji?"
Wang Genji, also known as driver and tour guide Xiao Wang.
Everyone was in a panic just now, but they didn't notice that driver Xiao Wang had already come out to explore the road.
Wang Genji was very vigilant. Su Mingzhe noticed the trace before he came within twenty steps of him:
"who?"
"It's me, Master Wang, where are you going?"
Su Mingzhe had no intention of hiding his whereabouts. He came to Wang Genji openly and asked with a surprised look on his face:
"We didn't see you just now, so we thought something bad happened to you?"
"I'm fine."
At this time, Xiao Wang was still an ordinary driver. He might have been troubled because the "surfer duck" he contracted was "stranded", but his attitude towards the customer Su Mingzhe was still very good.
After coming back to his senses, he looked at Su Mingzhe in surprise and asked:
"Where did you come from?"
"I came here following the mountain breeze!"
Su Mingzhe didn't explain much, he just explained to him a technique for finding directions in the mountains and forests, and asked with a smile:
"Xiao Wang, have you found a way out here?"
"Not yet."
Xiao Wang smiled awkwardly.
Not only did he not find a way out, he couldn't even find a way back.
After Su Mingzhe heard this, he quickly told him that the road he had just come back had marked marks, and he could follow the marks back.
"You... are so thoughtful!"
Xiao Wang couldn't help but praise Su Mingzhe when he heard that he still remembered to leave a mark.
He is indeed a cultural person!
The little wilderness survival skills I learned after serving as a soldier in the field team for several years were not worth mentioning in front of an educated man like Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe asked Xiao Wang to make sure that he would not go back and continue to explore the road, so he told him the method of marking, and finally said with a smile:
"Master Wang, since you are going to explore the way down the mountain, I will change the direction and remember to come back early!"
After Su Mingzhe said that, he really climbed up along the river valley and stream.
"Why didn't this person wait for someone to finish what he said?"
Wang Genji was just being polite. As long as Su Mingzhe persuaded him a few more words, he would get off the donkey and follow him back to the gathering place.
Now, Su Mingzhe disappeared into the dense forest. Wang Genji could only take a breath, gritted his teeth, and continued walking along the hillside towards the foot of the mountain.
He would go there once and for all, and he would definitely not be able to come back within two or three hours.
However, Su Mingzhe only spent half an hour following the stream and tracing back to its source twice before finally finding the cave in the original plot.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Su Mingzhe returned to Shanshan, Rachel, and Zhao Tianlong and told the good news that he had found a cave that could accommodate a hundred people.
"Is there really a cave to live in?"
Rachel had long been afraid of the rain. When she learned that there was a cave to live in, she immediately shouted and asked Su Mingzhe to lead the way.
Facing three pairs of hopeful eyes, Su Mingzhe did not agree directly, but comforted:
"You guys wait here for a moment, I'll call the others!"
"Let's go back with you...our backpacks are still over there."
After Shanshan finished speaking, Rachel also remembered that she asked Sister Qi, the cleaning lady, to help take care of the snacks and drinks she brought.
When I went back, I was back in less than half an hour because I had the motivation.
During this period, the girl Rachel was so excited that her feet slipped and she fell.
Fortunately, this was the road going down the mountain, and Su Mingzhe was below her and caught her in time.
If it's a mountain road, it will be troublesome.
Rushing back to the gathering place, Su Mingzhe explained the situation of the path exploration.
After hearing this, Mr. Yu learned that this was an isolated island. He was a little reluctant at first, but then he learned that there was a cave where he could stay. He immediately went to report to his boss Mr. Zhang excitedly.
At this moment, Mr. Zhang was quite dignified in the team. With an order, everyone began to march towards the cave.
Ma Jin, who had woken up at this time, was still in a state of confusion.
I would like to remind everyone that Su Mingzhe can only do this.
Before departure, bodyguard Yang Hong, who was lying half-dead on the ground, was also helped up and walked forward slowly.
The cave is about three or four miles away from the gathering place on a mountain road.
It would take a normal person half an hour to walk.
Everyone was hungry and cold at the moment, and among them were the wounded Ma Jin and Yang Hong.
After this departure, everyone walked for two and a half hours before arriving one after another at the end of the field.
The cave has two entrances, one is a volcanic crater that rises to the sky, and the other is a path carved out by an underground river.
There is a small opening in the mountain, as if there is light.
Entering from the mouth, it is very narrow at first, and then it can reach people.
After walking dozens of steps, I suddenly became enlightened.
As the guide, Su Mingzhe arrived early, lit a bonfire, and cooked instant noodles.
When the heat enters the stomach, a long-lost sense of comfort comes over, and the fatigue from a busy afternoon disappears.
Just when Su Mingzhe was about to lie down and rest, a colleague suddenly came over and said with a smile:
"Xiao Su, do you have any instant noodles here? I'll give them back to you when you get back!"
