Hearing this, the few of them were stunned and looked at Chen Hao in surprise.
"But…but if we continue like this, we'll definitely lose a layer of skin.”
Wang Yanbing mumbled a few words, but it was obvious that he did not continue.
Previously, the two of them had been at odds with each other and had almost been captured by the enemy. They had even directly withdrawn from the exercise. This time, he did not dare to mess around.
Li Cong, who was not far away, had a solemn expression on his face when he heard this. Then, he asked in puzzlement,
"Is there really nothing we can do?
Just like Wang Yanbing said, our bodies really can't take it if we continue walking in here. Moreover, although we have more people, we can take care of each other.
But the swamp is too big. We'll probably have to walk until dawn before we can get ashore.
During this period of time, no one could guarantee what would happen.
If we were on land, we might still have the ability to save ourselves. However, if we were to accidentally fall into this place, I'm afraid we really won't be able to continue the exercise.”
What he meant was very simple. He did not mean that the exercise could not continue, but that their lives might be lost here.
When they finished speaking, Chen Hao's heart was filled with complicated feelings.
The few of them were silent. After standing there for a while, Wang Jie inexplicably shivered.
"I say, hurry up and decide. I've been standing in this mud for so long. The temperature in the deep mountains isn't high now. If this continues, I won't be able to move forward.”
It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but once he did, he reminded a few people. The few people beside him also shivered, and they panicked when they saw their teammates being frozen.
Chen Hao gritted his teeth and said.
"No, let's continue. Although it might be dangerous for us to walk in the swamp, this is the only way. We have no other choice.
However, we can do as the class monitor said. We can walk by the shore as long as the mud on our bodies doesn't dry up.”
Once they had made their decision, they would start operating. When they were ready, they would set off again.
Li Cong led the team and walked in front while Chen Hao led the others behind.
After walking for a while, the few of them were already frozen. At this time, Chen Hao became more and more anxious after seeing their expressions.
He knew very well that if they continued walking like this, they would definitely freeze before they reached the end.
Moreover, there was no one else here. If they froze to death here, no one would probably notice them.
Thinking of this, he felt anxious. Suddenly, he thought of the books in his backpack and his eyes lit up.
That's right! How could he have forgotten!
In order to pass this drill, especially when he knew that He Chenguang would pass through the swamp, he had already prepared this book.
At that time, because he was in a hurry, he did not look at it at all.
Now that he thought about it, he must have thrown the book into his backpack at the beginning of the exercise. Now, it seemed that it had really become a life-saving medicine.
At the thought of this, his expression turned solemn. Then, he looked at the few of them and said,
"We've been walking here for quite some time now. Let's go ashore and rest for a while.
Although the heat in his body might dissipate very quickly, it was better than being frozen outside for such a long time. He should rest first before continuing to move forward.”
After hearing this, Li Cong, who was in front, frowned. He thought that this was the only way for now, so after a discussion, the few of them climbed up from the side.
At this moment, their faces were blue from the cold. Even Li Erniu, who was strong and used to doing farm work, had his teeth trembling.
"Brother Chen Hao, when are we setting off again? How long can you rest?"
After hearing this, the few of them were stunned. Then, the people beside them also looked over. After Chen Hao pondered for a moment, he said seriously,
"Right now, we can only relax our physical strength first. It's obviously impossible for us to continue walking inside. Let's take ten minutes then. We'll continue after ten minutes of rest.”
As he spoke, he opened his backpack and rummaged through it for a while. Finally, he found the book, How to Cross the Swamp and Save Yourself.
When the people around saw Chen Hao take out a book, their eyes widened in shock.
"Brother Chen Hao, you can still read at a time like this. You're really the best.”
Wang Jie gave him a thumbs up in admiration. To think that he could still read a book at a time like this was really amazing.
"I say, kid, you're really interesting. You actually brought a few books with you during the exercise.
"But do you have any food on you? We don't even have any food now.
If we don't replenish our body heat, we probably won't be able to walk for long.”
Hearing this, the faces of the few people darkened. Chen Hao, who was beside him, did not stop what he was doing. When he read the first page of the book, a message flashed in his mind.
"Ding…read the first page of the book. Skill increased by 10%.”
"Ding…read the second page of the book. Skill increased by 30%.”
'Ding…Reading Book No...'
Ten minutes passed quickly. When Chen Hao closed the book, many skills related to crossing the swamp appeared in his mind.
Chen Hao heaved a sigh of relief. He could finally rest assured. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to bring these people out of the swamp.
Previously, when he saw He Chenguang faint after he used his last bit of strength to walk ashore, he thought that the few of them might not have it easy either.
At the thought of this, she looked around. When she saw a house not far away, her expression turned solemn.
"Brothers, now we have a way to cross this swamp, but there will be a lot of danger when we cross. Are you willing to take a gamble?”
After Chen Hao said this, the few of them were stunned. The few people beside him looked over curiously.
"What do you mean? You didn't think you'd learned it just by reading the book, did you? Moreover, the book in your hand is probably written blindly. It's not of any use to us at all. This is risking your life. Don't take it too seriously.”
"Yes, yes. Brother Chen Hao, we can't be careless. Although reading books can improve our knowledge and survival skills in the wild, at the very least, we haven't actually done it yet.”
"It's not this kind of survival technique. No one has tried it before. If we accidentally fall inside, we probably won't be able to come up.”
Chen Hao shook his head after hearing their words and said with an extremely serious expression.
"You're thinking too much. I'm not joking with our lives, but we have no other way to leave now.
If we continue to walk in the mud like before, it will obviously not work at all. On the one hand, the wind at night will quickly evaporate the mud on our bodies.”
