Chapter 297 Path Established
Chapter 300: Path Established
I'm a little stuck, I'm studying it carefully. Current record (49/21)

After eating this delicious meal of snake meat, the children set off again. Because of my reminder, the children cleaned up very cleanly this time. They burned the internal organs and snake skin into ashes and covered the traces with mud. The whole eating process took only half an hour. On the way, the children also began to think about the next route plan.

"We should go to a higher place first and observe the surrounding environment. Search for water source as soon as possible." Taiyi suggested.

"I think we should find a cool place to escape the heat first." Mary disagreed. "It's half past twelve now. In half an hour, the temperature here will reach its highest point. If we insist on walking in this environment, we will soon be dehydrated. Even if we have a bottle of fresh water brought by Brother Bing, I don't think it's something we should drink now."

"Well... I see there is a hill ahead. Let's go over there and take a look. If we can't find a water source there, we can take a rest in the shade." Ling summarized what the two said and pointed out the hill not far ahead. If we walk, it will take about 20 minutes, which is acceptable when approaching the hottest temperature. After the discussion, the three children looked at me.

"Gurgle...Gurgle...Hoo...Hiccup...Hmm? Why are you looking at me?"

"..."

"..."

"...We are asking for your opinion!" Ling looked at me unhappily. "Why do you have both water to drink and meat to eat?"

"Well, well... don't worry about such details." I waved my hand. "Just do what you want in your heart. I am only responsible for correcting serious problems and reminding you when teaching. After all, I want to train you, not myself."

"Then... let's head towards that hill." Ling pointed into the distance and walked over with the children.

When they reached the top of the hill, the children looked into the distance under the scorching sun and felt that the entire grassland was distorted. It should be because of the steam. After searching for a while, the children did not find the water source they were looking for. Helplessly, they had to walk down the hill. But when they reached the shade, they found another surprising thing.

"This... seems to be where animals live." Ling stood at the foot of the hill, looking at the paths and caves not far away.

"Yes." I nodded and explained. "Many animals can't stand the heat, so they look for places to escape the heat. This wide cave you see should be one of them." I took out the gun from my pocket. I shouted twice outside the cave tentatively, and then threw a stone into it. But there was no movement inside. It should be safe.

"Okay, come in." After the exploration, I said to the three people. "Next time you encounter a beast cave like this, you must first confirm whether there are wild animals inside. If there are, leave. Of course, you can also choose to kill them by force, so that you can also guarantee food."

"But we don't have guns, how can we kill them?" Ling said dissatisfiedly.

"Now I'm letting you wear the gravity rings so that you can run fast while carrying equipment and weight in the future, and you will also know how to save energy to find food and build camps." I said to the children. "For example, this camp, you can see the huge hoof prints and traces all over the ground, you should know that they were left by rhinos or hippos. There are a lot of dried feces beside the cave, you know that this cave should have been away from animals for a while. But even so, we still have to take protective measures. Now, the three of you go and cut some branches nearby, preferably needle trees, thick branches with thorns. Come back within 30 minutes, otherwise the meaning of this summer vacation will be lost."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

"Huh... It's much cooler here." Ling sat in the cave and sighed deeply, while drinking a mouthful of water down her throat.

In less than fifteen minutes, the children had surrounded the cave entrance tightly with branches. At the same time, I also asked them to tie their daggers to sturdy branches with the ropes brought from the parachute, so that even if wild animals really attacked, they could use the sharp blades to repel them.

"You can sleep here for a while, and then you can continue on your way around 3 or 4 o'clock when the temperature drops." I explained. "Another thing I can tell you is that now that you have recovered your strength, you can walk a little longer at night, so that the temperature is still moderate. However, at night, some large animals will also look for opportunities to move out and look for prey. So whether to go or not is up to you to decide."

"Well...it depends on the situation." Ling thought for a moment, then lay down on the soft sand. "I need to rest for a while and replenish my energy."

"Haha, take a nap." I nodded to Ling. Then I leaned against the rock wall and closed my eyes. Although I had water, I was on an outdoor adventure with the kids, so it was necessary to recover my strength. Taiyi and Mary also leaned against each other, closed their eyes and rested. For a moment, the cave was quiet.

After resting for a few minutes, I felt a rustling sound beside me. I opened my eyes and saw that Ling had crawled over to me. With a sweet smile on her eyes, she gently rested her head on my legs. She curled up like a kitten, as if she was looking for a comfortable position.

"You little girl..." I chuckled, reached out and touched the kitten's head, and then closed my eyes again.

"Bing, will our missions in the future be like today?" Ling muttered quietly. "There are only four of us."

"Maybe there will only be two of us in the future. Taichi and Mary are destined to support us. And the ones going out on missions may be just the two of us." "Then, what do you think about the two of us? Can we travel around the world?" Ling said with some anticipation.

"You will encounter all kinds of things." I stroked her soft hair and said, "As long as you believe in my cruel training and complete it seriously and truly meet my requirements, you can follow me to conquer the world."

"Well, I believe you." Ling reached out and held my hand on her head. "Although I'm not Shirley and can't accompany you like she does. But when you are on a mission, I will definitely be by your side. I will be the only person you can trust with your back."

Buzz. . .

Ling's words made my body tremble. Haha, the only person I can trust... I didn't expect to hear these words again after decades.

"Ah, I believe you, Ling." I held the soft little hand with my backhand. I said softly, "My back is only for you."

"Hehe, it's a deal." Ling said happily.

"Yeah, it's a deal." I smiled. "Go to sleep. We have a lot more training to do. It will be even more serious. Wait and look forward to it."

Close your eyes and say no more. The cave fell into silence again. Although the heat from the outside drifted in through the cave entrance, it did not affect the children's sleep at all. I wanted to rest here like the children, but because of Ling's words, I fell into a distant memory. I recalled the girl who went from a prop to my only one, but I couldn't be with her.

Two hours passed quickly. The biological clocks woke the children from their deep sleep. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, we set out on our journey again.

"Bing, I've decided that we should walk at night." Ling said after looking at the surrounding environment. : Judging from the temperature, the exposure to the sun at noon will cause us to be seriously dehydrated. In comparison, although the temperature difference when walking at night will be large, it is better than being exposed to the sun. So I decided to walk at night.

"Where are Taichi and Mary?" I looked at the other two children. After all, it wasn't just one person who was moving now, but three.

"I agree with Ling." Tai nodded.

"Me too." Mary also confirmed. "We are short of water. It is not a wise decision to consume too much energy during the day. We can walk and look for water at night. I believe that on this prairie, with the help of moonlight, we can see the road clearly."

"Well said." I nodded and praised. "You made the right choice. In this hot grassland, traveling at night is dangerous, but it is the most energy-saving. You are different from ordinary survivors. You are killers and assassins with combat power. In this vast grassland, except for large creatures such as elephants, lions, rhinos, and hippos, the remaining animals should be able to become your food. So do what you decide. I will watch you from the side."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The children's voices were very loud, which showed their determination and proved their attitude.

"So, have you decided where to go?" I asked.

"Yeah." Ling replied. Then she pointed to the distance. "Over there, look at the mountains over there."

I looked in the direction Ling pointed. About thirty miles away, there was a very high mountain. The mountain range Ling pointed to must be that mountain.

"There is a glacier on the ridge of that mountain. Your manual says that where there are glaciers, there must be melted ice, which means there is a high probability of rivers, and where there are rivers, there are human habitation. As long as we go there, we should be able to find human habitation and end this wilderness survival!"

"Smart." I became more and more optimistic about the children's efforts. "Then let's go. Let me see how much you have mastered!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"
