CHAPTER 108: CHAPTER 72: NEW WORLD [ROBUST GROWTH] (6K)_2

Maybe it’s because they rolled out of the dirt, no one was clean.

"The food is only enough for us to eat for half a day." The girl noticed Zhang Feng looking her way and pointed to Zhang Feng’s light while talking about supplies.

"Old Xing and Brother Liu’s flashlight batteries are running low, Brother Zhang, let’s save some? We’ll need it to find the way out later."

In the girl’s memory, Zhang Feng was a very sunny young man, easy to talk to.

After spending a day together, Zhang Feng basically wouldn’t interrupt whatever the team said.

Similarly, if Zhang Feng hadn’t been so sunny and appeared kind, the six of them really wouldn’t have taken him along on the trip.

"This cannot be saved."

At this moment, Zhang Feng was very calm, giving them a very unfamiliar feeling. Although they hadn’t known each other long, it was that sudden drastic change in demeanor.

This made them feel very strange.

The girl suddenly stopped talking as well.

The rest of them also didn’t want to say much to the ’suddenly cold’ Zhang Feng to avoid conflict.

Zhang Feng saw that they seemed to misunderstand him, so he pointed around and said, "The cave needs to be illuminated at all times in case there really are wild animals.

If there really is one and it suddenly sneaks up on us, it will be hard for us to react."

"But won’t it be the same when the power runs out?" A young man in a shirt retorted, "What do we do then?"

"Did you hit your head?" Before Zhang Feng could speak, Brother Liu, a man in his thirties beside him, said, "Xiaolin, are we just going to stay here and wait for wild animals to come?

Didn’t we just agree to find a way out together?"

"You go." Xiaolin shook his head and said, "I’ll wait here for rescue."

"Why are you still being stubborn?" The others persuaded at this point:

"We agreed at the start to leave together, why do you have to insist?"

"Rescue? What rescue? The only radio is still at the camp. Who knows we fell into this deep mountain forest?"

"Exactly." Middle-aged Old Xing also advised, "Can we really leave you here alone without worry?"

As they were persuading, a strong man directly grabbed Xiaolin and lifted him up,

"Stop dawdling, Xiaolin, come with us."

After pulling him up, the strong man looked at Zhang Feng, "Uh... Brother Zhang, how about turning off the torch? Let’s start finding the way now."

"Alright." Zhang Feng quickly got up when he heard they were going to find a way.

The strong man, relying on his strength and righteousness, took the lead in moving forward.

"Zhang!" Brother Liu handed Zhang Feng a machete.

There were five in the team, initially for cutting wood for a fire, but now they could be used for self-defense.

"I’ll carry the food." After handing the machete to Zhang Feng, Brother Liu moved to the middle of the team.

Zhang Feng, behind him, saw him carrying an old-fashioned military backpack containing ten apples, some wild vegetables, and some cooking condiments.

"I have the drinks." Old Xing, in a manner to encourage everyone, followed closely, saying, "Whoever’s thirsty can come to me for water."

Old Xing carried a large backpack, with seven different water bottles inside, along with two bottles of strong liquor.

"I have bandages here." The girl was carrying a small bag with some packs of cigarettes, some matches, and half a roll of bandage.

Zhang Feng glanced at them, thinking it was like a full picnic, except there was nothing to eat.

But for now, there were ten apples and two pounds of wild vegetables as food.

Of course, if truly starving, with condiments and matches, and mixing in cigarettes, drinking two bottles of strong liquor could work too.

With that down, there’s no need to worry about the food situation later.

"What a pity for my fishing rod, I was planning to catch some fish." At this point, Old Xing looked back.

There was a fishing rod where they fell, but it got shaken open halfway and is now broken.

The others also had fishing rods, but it was hard to search in the big dirt pile.

Meanwhile, Zhang Feng hearing ’wood stick’, returned under curious glances, retrieving the handle-long 75 cm fishing rod.

It’s made of solid bamboo, very sturdy, and quite heavy.

Just right, Old Xing and another person were still without weapons, they could use it temporarily.

"Your rod." Zhang Feng put back the half-broken fishing rod and handed it to Old Xing, "Better than having nothing in hand."

"I really didn’t think..." Old Xing stroked his chin and said, "Now that I think about it, my rod can be used as a weapon."

He demonstrated to Zhang Feng, "You see, if you twist the handle at the end, it can lock the rod inside.

My family’s rod, the end has screws to prevent the cap from falling off, and the rod from running loose."

"Impressive." When Zhang Feng saw him twist the end to lock the rod, he found it quite amusing.

Unexpectedly, it seemed high-tech, like a lightsaber from Star Wars.

But in reality, it’s the 80s, no one had mobile phones, so they couldn’t call for help, they could only rely on themselves.

’Five days?’ Zhang Feng thought to himself, looking up toward the way they came from.

Estimating over twenty meters high, the wall slanted with some slippery and vertical patches in the middle.

With the highest martial skills possessed by Prince World.

Zhang Feng felt it should be possible to climb up, but now, he could only see what kind of rescue would come after five days.

"Grab a rock..." The strong man interrupted Zhang Feng’s thoughts, slowly approaching the tunnel.

"Here." The person in front handed a rock to the strong man.

Clatter—

The strong man threw it inside and illuminated with his flashlight.

The light shone, revealing a bend twenty meters inside the tunnel where the rock stopped after hitting that spot, and the light halted on that rock wall.

"Let’s check the other tunnels." The strong man started throwing rocks into the other tunnels.

Zhang Feng observed these tunnel entrances.

There were a total of seven, with five generally over two meters high, some accommodating two to three people walking side by side, others only allowing one person to walk sideways.
