Chapter 329 - I Have A Boyfriend (1/2)

Leader Zhang nodded in satisfaction and said to Zi Yi, ”Little Zi, protect yourself well. I will wait for your safe return here. Remember, if something that you are unable to resolve happens, you must find a way to seek help.”

”Okay.”

Everyone wore a raincoat and carried a backpack before they set off at once.

There were many traps outside the camp to prevent wild animals from entering. Coupled with the landslide and debris caused by the heavy rain during the past two days, along with the footprints of large animals, it made traversing even more difficult.

When they walked into the jungle, what surrounded them were trees, grass thorns, and mud. The places they stepped on were also uneven and they could not increase their speed at all.

Zi Yi led two military dogs while Doctor Zhang carried a medical box and they walked together.

Just then, someone asked Doctor Zhang, ”Do you need me to carry your bag for you?”

Doctor Zhang shook her head and politely rejected. ”There's no need. You still need the energy to rescue people later. Don't waste your energy on something small like this.”

That person did not give up. ”We still have to travel a long road ahead and the path is uneven. If you're tired, just pass it to me and I'll carry it for you.”

”Alright then, thank you.”

”You're welcome.” That man walked ahead of them while feeling embarrassed.

Just then, Doctor Zhang smiled and asked Zi Yi, ”Student Zi, you're so pretty and I believe you must have plenty of guys chasing you?”

Zi Yi tilted her head and looked at her. ”I have a boyfriend. Others do not have the opportunity.”

Doctor Zhang was momentarily surprised at her words before she softly chuckled.

Her laughter was masked by the sound of rain hitting against the leaves and could not be heard clearly. However, it gave Zi Yi a strange feeling.

Doctor Zhang spoke up again. ”Student Zi's boyfriend must be a handsome guy.”

Zi Yi tilted her head again and looked at her.

Doctor Zhang had unexpectedly explained herself. ”You're so pretty and your boyfriend must also be a handsome guy.”

Zi Yi nodded in all seriousness. ”Yes, he's very handsome.”

Doctor Zhang seemed to want to say something.

Just then, Yang Jiangbo's voice sounded from the front. ”Everyone, be careful. We have reached the area where traps are concentrated. Be careful not to step into the traps.”

Everyone immediately increased their vigilance.

Doctor Zhang did not continue the conversation after that.

The area had been trampled on very heavily and there were broken branches and weeds all around. The path beneath their feet was even harder to see.

Yang Jiangbo got someone to get two branches for them to be used as a walking stick.

In fact, Zi Yi did not require it. However, she still took it in the end.

The military dogs were at the front leading the way and this had also allowed them to avoid the majority of the traps.

When they walked out of the trap area, what was ahead of them was a denser jungle. The skies were already dark due to the rain and they could only travel forward with the help of torchlights.

It was not known how long they had walked when a large landslide suddenly happened in front.

The military dogs leading the way had stopped and barked at that area.

The men Yang Jiangbo sent out to scout the terrain in front, just so happened to return and report. ”The landslide is still ongoing ahead.”

Yang Jiangbo got everyone to stop. He turned around and said to Zi Yi and the group, ”We can only take a detour. However, we have to climb a slope. Are you all alright?”

Zi Yi said, ”It's not a problem for me.”

Doctor Zhang said the same thing. ”It's not a problem for me either.”

Yang Jiangbo nodded. Just as he was about to get everyone to continue walking, thunder sounded in the skies.

Immediately after, a bolt of lightning descended from the skies and it just so happened to strike somewhere nearby in front of them.

Everyone was frightened.

”Why is there thunder and lightning? Can we continue to head forward like this?”

Everyone knew that one should avoid traveling in the jungle during a thunderstorm, or else they would be in deep trouble.

Even the military dogs were a little cranky.

Before Yang Jiangbo set off, Leader Zhang had specifically informed him to ask Zi Yi if she could resolve the problem if they were to encounter any issues.
