Chapter 340 - Waterfall

TL: xDh20, LifeisaJourney

Liu Gan woke up briefly, but fainted again. The members quickly cleaned up their temporary quarters and left Liu Gan inside as they started doing other duties. They had to hurry while it wasn’t too dark yet, chopping firewood and gathering shrubs with thorns nearby.

The firewood was for piled up for a bonfire. The shrubs with thorns and the bush would be placed right by the cave entrance as a barrier. These thorns weren’t something to be ridiculed, even the wild animals would avoid them if possible.

As for whether the Variant Beasts would avoid these thorns, that was still too early to tell. Liu Gan left specific instructions to Han GuangMing, so they followed them to the dot. These thorny barricades and bonfire would eventually have their benefits. As long as the Advanced Malevolent Bear didn’t force its way back, the other variant beasts weren’t a threat once the members were in battle formation.

After they set up the preventive measures, it started raining again. By then, everyone was back in the safety of the cave. They had to avoid catching a cold from getting soaked. Han GuangMing arranged shifts for night guard duty, then he lay down to sleep.

There were Variant Beasts that approached the outside of the cave, but they only growled in anger and left. Occasionally, the Advanced Malevolent Bear’s roar could be heard. It was at most twenty meters away. The bear could see the bonfire by the cave entrance, it knew that the cave was still occupied, but could only walk resentfully away.

While Liu Gan lay unconscious within the cave, Han GuangMing didn’t allow anyone to leave the cave. Even during the daytime, the members were only allowed to hunt nearby for food. Before night, they had to return back to the cave to stand guard. They had to be careful of not getting surrounded by the Variant Beasts and continue with the bluff so that the Malevolent Bear wouldn’t return.

Even though Liu Gan was unconscious, his wounds were gradually improving. Understandably, a level 9 player’s regenerative ability was shocking. Even after excessive blood loss, infected wounds, numerous bone fractures, and many lacerations, he was still alive. An ordinary person would’ve died in two days.

Just like this, another three days and three nights went by. Finally, Liu Gan woke up. By the time he woke up, Han GuangMing and all others were in unpresentable conditions, with messy hair and dirty faces. They looked no different from their primitive ancestors.

Even though Liu Gan had just woken up and his wounds had almost finished healing, his body was weak. This time he learned from his mistake. He didn’t overrush things. He opted to remain inside the cave until all his wounds had recovered. After that was over, he would consider other issues.

Another two days passed, and Liu Gan’s injuries had fully recovered. His body condition was operating at around eighty percent of his peak state. At least now, he had a chance of fighting against the Malevolent Bear. On the morning of the sixth day, he decided to depart. He had to find a way to leave this jungle and regroup with Yin He at the Biochemical Intelligence Research Center.

As for their route, it was naturally to follow the creek they had found earlier.

“Elder Liu, if we continued following the creek, how can you be so sure that it is the right direction? If it is the direction that flows toward the sea, then wouldn’t that mean we are going back from where we started?” Han GuangMing asked hesitantly.

He wasn’t questioning Liu Gan’s strategy, but he wanted to learn how to survive in the wilderness with his own ability. These few days proved that Elder Liu might not be there to give out directions, so he must learn to do it himself, or at least be able to make the right calls.
