Chapter 1491 Xiao Wang, Cave, Colleagues
On the isolated island is an undeveloped primeval forest.

Leaving the cliff, the three entered the dense jungle.

Not only is it rugged here, it's also muddy!

The old tree has twisted roots, as gnarled as a dragon.

The branches are intertwined and winding.

Before they had taken a few steps, Shanshan and Rachel began to regret their decision.

But now that things have come to this, it is impossible for the two women to turn around and go back.

Security guard Zhao Tianlong was even more depressed.

However, seeing that Su Mingzhe, a salesman, was climbing up and down, constantly exploring the way, as if he had endless physical strength, he, as a "manual laborer", was naturally unwilling to admit defeat, so, for the sake of that little bit of man's dignity, he was still gritting his teeth and persevering.

About half an hour passed.

Looking back at the three people behind him, seeing them slipping with every step, Su Mingzhe felt a little bit sorry for them.

The distance the three of them traveled in this half hour was not even half of the distance they had traveled in the previous ten minutes.

This was due to the dense forests and rugged terrain, as well as the fact that the three men were physically weak and mentally depressed.

At this speed, and the extent of their declining physical strength, the three of them would probably collapse from exhaustion before they reach halfway up the mountain.

In desperation, Su Mingzhe could only let the three of them sit down against the tree trunk to rest while he went to explore the way alone.

This time, the three of them did not refuse the kindness.

Shanshan saw that the man was about to run into the woods without taking a rest, so she quickly reminded him:

"Su Mingzhe, be careful and remember the way back!"

"Don't worry, I'll leave a mark!"

The man was seen running into the depths of the forest like a monkey in the blink of an eye and disappeared from sight.

The three of them looked at each other in surprise.

It's really annoying to compare people to each other!
There is no road on this mountain at all, and the tangled tree roots on the ground caused the three people to slip from time to time.

However, Su Mingzhe walked fast and steadily.

While envying Su Mingzhe's agile skills, in fact, a hope also arose in the hearts of the three people.

After all, in such a desperate situation, having a strong teammate is undoubtedly a shot in the arm.

Without the three people dragging him down, Su Mingzhe moved quickly through the jungle.

In less than three minutes, he saw a nimble figure appear in front of him.

"Wang Genji?"

Wang Genji, also known as the driver and tour guide Xiao Wang.

Everyone was in a panic just now and didn't notice that the driver Xiao Wang had already come out to explore the way.

Wang Genji was very alert. He detected Su Mingzhe's tracks 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, and we thought you met with an accident."

"I am fine."

At this time, Xiao Wang was still an ordinary driver. He might be troubled by the "stranded" of the "Surfing Duck" he contracted, but his attitude towards Su Mingzhe, his customer, was still very good.

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 wind!"

Su Mingzhe didn't explain too much, he just explained to him a technique for finding directions in the forest, 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 the way back. After hearing this, Su Mingzhe quickly told him that the road he had just taken was marked, and he could follow the marks to go back.

"You are... so thoughtful!"

When Xiao Wang heard that Su Mingzhe actually remembered to leave a mark, he couldn't help but praise him.

He is indeed a cultured person!

The little wilderness survival skills he had learned after serving in the field army for several years were nothing compared to an intellectual like Su Mingzhe.

Su Mingzhe asked Xiao Wang and confirmed that he would not go back and would continue to explore the road, so he explained the marking method to him and finally said with a smile:
"Master Wang, since you want to explore the way down the mountain, I will change direction. Remember to come back early!"

After Su Mingzhe finished speaking, he really climbed up along the river valley stream.

"Why doesn't this person wait for someone to finish speaking?"

Wang Genji was just being polite. As long as Su Mingzhe could persuade him a few more times, he would go along with it and follow Su Mingzhe back to the gathering place.

Now, Su Mingzhe disappeared in the dense forest. Wang Genji could only take a break, gritted his teeth, and continued to walk along the hillside towards the foot of the mountain.

It will take him at least two or three hours to go there and back, so he definitely won't be back.

However, Su Mingzhe only took half an hour to follow the stream back and forth twice and finally found the cave in the original plot.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Su Mingzhe returned to Shanshan, Rachel and Zhao Tianlong and told them 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, and 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 them:
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go call the others!"

"Let's go back with you...our backpacks are still over there."

After Shanshan finished speaking, Rachel also remembered that she had asked the cleaning lady, Sister Qi, to help look after the snacks and drinks she brought with her.

On the way back, I was motivated and got back in less than half an hour.

During this time, Rachel was so excited that she slipped and fell.

Fortunately, this was the road down the mountain, and Su Mingzhe was below her and caught her in time.

If it is up a mountain road, it will be troublesome.

Rushing back to the gathering place, Su Mingzhe recounted the exploration progress.

After hearing that this was an isolated island, Mr. Yu was a little unwilling at first. However, when he learned that there was a cave where they could take shelter, he excitedly went to report to his boss, Mr. Zhang.

At this moment, Mr. Zhang was still quite authoritative in the team. At his command, everyone started moving towards the cave.

Ma Jin, who had woken up at this time, was still in a daze.

Only Su Mingzhe could remind everyone to send out distress signals.

Before departure, the bodyguard Yang Hong, who was lying half-dead on the ground, was helped up and carried slowly forward.

The cave is about three or four miles away from the gathering place by mountain road.

It takes a normal person half an hour to walk.

Everyone was suffering from hunger and cold at this moment, and among them were wounded people like Ma Jin and Yang Hong.

It took them two and a half hours to finally arrive at the destination.

There are two entrances to the cave, one is a volcanic crater that reaches the sky, and the other is a path created by an underground river.

There is a small opening in the mountain, as if there is light.

When entering through the mouth, it is very narrow at first, but then it becomes passable.

After walking for dozens of steps, he suddenly became enlightened.

As the guide, Su Mingzhe arrived early, lit a bonfire and cooked instant noodles.

When the heat enters my stomach, the long-lost feeling of comfort comes over me, and all the fatigue from a busy afternoon disappears.

Just when Su Mingzhe was about to lie down to 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 I get back!"
