The Enhanced Life of Rampage

Chapter 37 Walking Along the River
"Okay, the car can only go so far, everyone, get off the car, we will start walking from now on!"

After driving bumpily for about ten minutes, the bus stopped at a muddy fork in the road. The outdoor expert Li Hanqing invited by the program team directed everyone to get off the bus.

After everyone got out of the car, Li Hanqing looked around and said, "Let's walk about two miles from here to the edge of the Dulong River, and then your challenge journey will officially begin."

"In the general direction, you only need to go all the way south along the Dulong River to reach the finish line. I, a few camera teachers and the emergency team will also go with the team."

"In principle, we will not provide you with any additional help, unless one of you has an emergency and we must come forward to deal with it!"

"Of course, this also means that the challenge has failed and the rescued person needs to leave the program early. I hope you can pay attention to this again!"

After reiterating the rules, Li Hanqing didn't hesitate, he mentioned his things and walked forward first, and the eight guests followed closely behind him.

"This place is really hard to walk!"

Considering that long-distance hiking can cause sweaty feet, Zhong Ling wore a pair of mesh sneakers. After walking a few hundred meters, the uppers were already splashed with yellow mud.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Chen Xi said: "The current road is pretty good, let's not worry about it, just don't fall behind."

He intends to find an opportunity to strengthen Zhong Ling's shoes. Although it is inconvenient to tell others about the system, he might not be able to find out if he secretly strengthens Zhong Ling a little. It will help her to some extent.

Chen Xi himself was wearing the Xtep that had been strengthened to +3 long ago, which was durable, light and stable, and he didn't feel much about it at this time.

After the team marched for about [-] minutes, everyone arrived at the starting point arranged by the program group: an open space a hundred meters away from the Dulong River, surrounded by nothing but lush forests!
"Okay, rest at the spot for half an hour, and then start to set off!" Yang Qunfei was still dealing with matters in the village, and Li Hanqing acted as the temporary director and directed: "From now on, we will not provide any help to you, everyone will treat you as us." Just be a transparent person.”

Chen Xi found a slightly flat stone and greeted Zhong Ling who was not far away. After she came over and sat down, Chen Xi switched the system out and focused on staring at Zhong Ling's shoes.

Get a +3 first, it's too high for her to feel it.

After thinking for a while, Chen Xi began to control the illusory interface to strengthen Zhong Ling's shoes. About 20 seconds before and after, the system indicated that +3 was successful.

"What are you doing?" Zhong Ling sat down and saw that Chen Xi didn't speak, so he just stared at his feet, couldn't help pushing him, and said with a weird expression, "Hey, don't you have some special hobbies?" ?”

"What are you pretending to be in your head?" Chen Xi rolled his eyes at her.

Well, I was wronged for doing things with good intentions!
"Then why do you keep staring at my feet?"

"Did I stare at your feet? I was thinking about something and lost my mind!"

"Hmph, just watch it if you want, why are you embarrassed?" Zhong Ling said nonchalantly, "Can I take off my shoes to show you clearly?"

"..."

If it were Shen Zhengyun, his hands and feet would twitch with excitement, while Chen Xi would be depressed to death!
"Take off your sister! Get lost!"

This is the bad point of the system, because it needs to be simulated and strengthened on the interface, so you have to stare at the real thing to operate.Things that you are familiar with are fine, just meditate on them, but other people's things are more troublesome.

After a 10-[-] minute break, the cameras of the program group turned on one after another and aimed at the target. Chen Xi and the others knew that it was time to set off, and they all stood up silently.

After getting together and looking at each other, Bai Bing, who was the highest ranked coffee present, said, "Let's go, we won't rest before noon. This is just the beginning, everyone cheer up!"

Everyone also responded one after another, it was only the first day, and they were full of energy!
Along the direction of the Dulong River, which is faintly visible not far away, several people walked downstream at a constant speed.

Not long after I left, the problem came!
There are dense forests and rugged canyons beside the Dulong River. A few people are currently hiding in the woods on the river bank.

"Bingge, why don't we go to the river? This forest is full of grass and thorns, and there are a lot of bugs. It's really hard to walk!" Zhang Jiajia stood up and suggested.

After thinking about it, Bai Bing agreed with him.

There is no way, a few steps forward, there are thorns lying in front of the body, and the wet fallen leaves are piled up under the feet, it is really difficult to walk.

After the two of them symbolically consulted the opinions of other people, they changed their way and walked towards the Dulong River, with Chen Xi and the others silently following behind.

"Not to mention, I don't know if it's an illusion, but it feels a lot easier to walk now!"

Zhong Ling stamped his feet and muttered as he walked.

"Maybe your shoes are more suitable for this kind of terrain, but the muddy road before is not suitable for it." Chen Xi found an excuse to prevaricate.

The terrain by the river is indeed quite open, and there are not too many trees, but there is also a downside, that is, the road under your feet is sloped, and several people are equivalent to walking on the river slope. Fortunately, the slope is not too big , should be the result of natural erosion during flash floods.

Another point is that there is relatively little soil, and most of the people's feet are rocks of different sizes.

"Everyone, be careful, if you accidentally slip and fall, remember to grab the people around you in time!"

Probably not resentful of letting Bai Bing occupy the team position alone, Zhang Jiajia also seized the opportunity to remind him.

"What an idiot!"

Chen Xi cursed secretly in an inaudible voice.

"Why scold him? I think he said it very well!"

Unexpectedly, Zhong Ling and Jiang Zhen, who were not far away from him, heard it, and Zhong Ling even asked out loud.

Chen Xi is also speechless, the two of you can hear such a small voice, I knew I wouldn't open my mouth a long time ago!

Faced with Zhong Ling's doubts and Jiang Zhen's gaze, Chen Xi could only explain in a low voice: "This is actually similar to drowning. You can remind others to hold on to the bumps on the ground to prevent them from slipping when they stumble. , but you must not instill in them the idea that if you fall down, you will immediately catch other people. This will only pull the gourd and pull the vines, because people have no thinking ability in extremely dangerous situations , will only subconsciously deal with it according to my usual thinking.”

"So, after he has instilled such thoughts in everyone now, if something like that happens, everyone will just subconsciously think, I must catch the person next to me, which is very dangerous!"

Zhong Ling and Jiang Zhen nodded at the same time, so it is so!
"I didn't expect you, Chen Xi, to know a lot about this. Before, I judged people by their age!" Jiang Zhen, a tall and thick man who was quite a bachelor, said with a smile and rubbed his head in embarrassment.

The other party was still trying to help him out at the banquet yesterday, and now he is like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle carrying a cauldron and silently playing the role of the cooking squad leader. Chen Xi has a good impression of this martial artist, and laughed at himself after hearing the words Said: "I'm just talking about it, don't look at what I'm saying, maybe I will be the first one to drag you two off later!"

"Haha, it's okay, my foot is very stable, I'm fine if you really want to drag me!" Jiang Zhen didn't care about this, and smiled heartily.

Chen Xin climbed up along the vine, and immediately beckoned Zhong Ling to move closer to Jiang Zhen.

"Then since Brother Jiang said so, I'm not going to be polite!"

"Sister Zhong, if you really slip and fall later, don't be polite, just drag Brother Jiang and you'll be done!"

Jiang Zhen was also helpless by his words.

That brat really plans to use me as a stake!
