Chapter 1357: As Long As You Like It

"It doesn't matter; if they want to stay here, let them stay," Chen Yu said indifferently, glancing at them.

"Heh, whether we stay or not has nothing to do with you; you'd better pay more attention to yourself," Zhang Yang sneered. "Exploration in this place isn't something just anyone can handle."

"Don't end up not even being able to find water; wilderness survival is very cruel, you know," Zhang Yang sneered.

"Wilderness survival is indeed cruel, and I don't have the leisure to play these games with you."

Chen Yu sneered and said, "You should be the one paying attention; don't end up leading the girls into a pit they can't get out of."

"You can rest easy on that; I am a highly capable wilderness survivalist, and I won't allow such a thing to happen."

Zhang Yang sneered; he held Chen Yu in great contempt.

"Fine, then you can stay here properly with them; as for what happens next, just make sure you can handle it yourself," Chen Yu sneered. Since this guy was courting death, he wouldn't bother with him anymore.

He had no obligation to pay attention to these people either.

He left with Liu Ruxi, while Zhang Yang continued forward with the three girls; he was about to begin his path of exploration.

"Look, this place is good; let's set up our tents here," Zhang Yang said, having found a spot he deemed decent, with a few giant boulders for shelter and a truly nice surrounding environment.

He decided to build his shelter right there.

"But we don't have anything; how are we supposed to build a shelter?" Li Juan looked at the surroundings; it was barren, with nothing at all.

Aside from some sparse bushes a few thousand meters away, there was nothing.

"Over there; that place definitely has water. We'll cut some branches from there, bring them back, build a shelter, then find fresh water, and then look for food," Zhang Yang said excitedly.

In front of the girls, he wanted to show off his own abilities; no matter what, he had to leave a good impression on them.

"Alright then, let's go take a look; it's too hot today," Guoguo said, somewhat unwillingly. "Can we wait until the sun goes down a bit?"

"No, we have to race against time. Don't worry, with me here, I won't let you go hungry," Zhang Yang laughed. "Let's go, we're heading toward that place now..."

The group braved the scorching sun to go to the bushes to cut trees.

Zhang Yang had been full of enthusiasm when they set off, but after walking for a while, he realized things were not as simple as he had imagined.

First of all, the sun was too vicious; it was noon, and the blazing sun was sweating people out of their oil.

The grass hat woven on his head was of no use at all, and being green, it didn't look very coordinated either.

More importantly, the girls had all been pampered at home and were the type who had never suffered; making them run under the scorching sun was truly hard on them.

After running here, Zhang Yang took his Dagger and began to cut trees. Although these small trees didn't look too thick—about the thickness of two thumbs—cutting them wasn't that simple.

Zhang Yang huffed and puffed for a long time before he managed to get a few down.

Moreover, the girls had no way to process them at all; the branches were a mix of thick and thin, long and crooked, looking like a complete mess.

After finally getting some wood, they ran into trouble again when dragging it back; it didn't look like much, but it was truly exhausting to carry.

As a man, Zhang Yang carried quite a bit. Although it was only a few dozen catties, he usually wouldn't have thought twice about it, but now, carrying it back under the scorching sun was simply going to cost him his Life.

Halfway through, the guy couldn't take it anymore; his throat was dry enough to smoke, and his legs were weak.

Real wilderness survivalists have extremely strong physical fitness; they can climb Mountain ranges, go into the water, and walk as if flying.

But with this guy's physical fitness, he was panting after walking just a few steps; how could he possibly hold on?

The girls were even less worth mentioning; they lacked exercise in their daily lives and were all pampered.

So they couldn't help Zhang Yang; not dragging him down was already good enough. After walking only a few steps, the girls were dizzy from the heat.

"Zhang Yang, we need to find some water; it's too dry today. If we don't have water, we'll die of thirst," Guoguo said.

"That's right, let's find some water, otherwise there's really no way to go on," Zhang Li also said.

"Let's go, let's leave the things here for now and follow this ridge line to look forward; we'll definitely be able to find water," Zhang Yang said, throwing the things in his hands away.

He used a leaf to test the wind direction, identified the orientation, and then pointed toward the southeast of the island.

"Where is there water? Are you sure? You better not make us run for nothing," Sun Jing said.

Truth be told, the girls were all regretting following him here; they had come with the attitude of just having fun.

As for exploration? They really weren't in the mood for it, but they were already tied to the boat and couldn't leave even if they wanted to.

They really didn't understand what those people who did outdoor exploration and survival were thinking; after all, in this weather, shouldn't the most enjoyable thing be sleeping in a room with the air conditioning on?

"I'm sure, don't worry. I've participated in the Outdoor Survival Challenge more than ten times, and I've been the team leader every time. I will lead my team members out of danger; now you just listen to me," Zhang Yang said, full of confidence.

In his outdoor survival club, he was the most active participant.

Every time, he was lucky enough to be elected team leader and lead his teammates to survive, but what he didn't know was that among his so-called teammates, some were actually wilderness survival coaches.

They mingled among the participants just to satisfy their vanity so they would willingly fork over their money.

Furthermore, every exploration site had a pre-arranged script, which was why he could easily obtain food and water and easily build a shelter.

It was precisely because of this that Zhang Yang was full of confidence in bringing a few girls to participate in wilderness survival.

He had originally fantasized about having something happen with the girls along the way—hehe, that would have been a great blessing—but looking at the situation now, he still had to work hard to find food and drink.

The group walked in that direction because the wilderness survival handbook stated that there would be water in a certain direction; the direction he was heading had less intense sunlight, and the vegetation there was denser.

So there was a high probability that water existed there, but he had overlooked one thing.
