Chapter 194 - Shameless!
They continued walking forward and unknowingly, it was already four o’clock in the morning. It was a difficult time as it was almost dawn.
At this time, all the members in all three different groups were already exhausted. Although Qi Mo’s group had already made it very far as they had started off on the straightforward small road, they were all physically and emotionally drained after seven or eight hours of walking.
Therefore, their group chose to set camp on the road so that they could rest for a short while.
Xu Beishen had also stopped to take a break by the river together with the young rebellious kid. In fact, this was not their first break as both of them had already stopped to take a couple of breaks along the way.
At this time, Jiang Yuning’s group was the only group that was still moving forward.
Although the oldest and the weakest participants were both in Jiang Yuning’s group, they were all very determined and united as they made their way forward.
“Where is the boy?”
“We ran into Xu Beishen along the way and he insisted on following Xu Beishen no matter what happens. He said that he did not want to hold us back anymore,” Jiang Yuning replied as she laughed.
“You must be exhausted too. Go and nap for a short while. We will start walking again tomorrow,” Brother Zhuang said, gesturing towards the tent that he had already set up behind Jiang Yuning.
“I will nap for forty minutes before I get up and take watch so you can rest…”
…
At this time, about one-thirds of the twenty-four-hour time limit had already passed. Based on the distance that they had already travelled, Qi Mo’s group was already way ahead of the other two.
After their short break, Jiang Yuning’s group washed up before they set off again. After trekking through the jungle for another half hour, they finally made it out of the jungle and ushered in their first stage of victory!
“Although this might sound very cruel, I would still like to remind you guys that the members of group three are already about eight kilometres ahead of you.”
“It is okay. They will still have to make it through the jungle,” Brother Zhuang replied as he comforted Jiang Yuning. “Alright then, we can move forward from now on without any stress.”
The three of them remained very optimistic and therefore, the reminder given to them by the production crew did not caused them to waver or be disappointed at all.
However, just after they had taken the first few steps out of the jungle, they suddenly heard the production crew yelling at them to stop. “Sister Yuning, you might have to stop and wait for a short while. We have encountered a very special and unexpected situation.”
“Sister Yuning…” The three of them were wondering what might have happened but at this time, they saw the production crew ushering Jin Mingchen towards them.
All three of them were shocked.
I thought we had already agreed that you will be following your own group leader?
“This is what has happened. The production crew have already gone to search for Miss Xu. Therefore, we can only leave Jin Mingchen with you so that we can be certain of his safety. We do not feel comfortable leaving him all alone since he is already ill right now.”
