“That really comes down to luck…” said Gu Qingqing, pushing up her glasses and speaking as if reciting from a book, “Willow trees generally only grow in the temperate zones of the Northern Hemisphere. There are fewer of them in the cold zones and even less in the subtropical and tropical regions. And where we are now, I don’t know if it’s the Southern or Northern Hemisphere, but judging by the vegetation in this forest, it seems somewhat like a subtropical or tropical area.”

“Even if it’s down to luck, we should try our best,” Qin Ci was a doctor. Saving patients was an instinct deeply ingrained in his bones. fRela2

“In that case, let’s continue to divide our tasks,” Shao Ling said, “Dr. Qin, take Xiao Kai, Tian Yang, and the few girls back to the residential area first. See if there are any usable medical supplies in the clinic.”

“Girls, please help prepare sdaily necessities and process the moss, vines, and bird eggs we just collected earlier. Also, pick a house for us to shelter in at night, tidy it up a bit, and if possible, gather sfirewood at the edge of the forest for starting a fire.”

“The rest of us will stay in the forest to find willow trees. We’ll definitely return before dark, but if we can’t make it back, you don’t need to wait for us. Just lock the doors and windows and protect yourselves.”

Everyone agreed to this arrangement and immediately set off. nifEep

This time, the people remaining in the forest paid particular attention to the types of trees. They discovered hundreds of trees, swith known names and others unknown. It was a treasure trove of natural resources.

While searching for willow trees, everyone didn’t forget to continue to collect moss, vines, and edible items. Ke Xun even found several more nests of bird eggs until Zhu Haowen called a halt.

“Don’t forget, our most important task is to find clues related to the signature,” Zhu Haowen remained rational and calm, almost to a callous extent, “Although Xiao Kai’s safety is also important, there’s not much tleft until nightfall, and who knows how many more people will be affected tonight. So far, we haven’t even had a clue.”

Shao Ling seemed to have been pondering the issue of clues all along. When Zhu Haowen mentioned it, he spoke up, “It seems that in the previous paintings, we never faced difficulties in finding water or food. Especially in the previous one, even basic physiological needs like sleep and relieving oneself didn’t even arise. But this painting seems different, seemingly emphasizing sensory experiences such as heat, thirst, hunger, and even illness. I suspect that this may be the challenge of this painting.” qFdUuS

“Heat, thirst, hunger, illness… Why does it sound a bit like wilderness survival?” Luo Bu said, “Those wealthy friends of mine, who don’t need to work and have nothing but ton their hands, love seeking thrills when they’re free to pass time. They formed a club specifically for wilderness survival. They often set a tto get everybody together and roam all over the world, especially in wild uninhabited areas. They bring along basic equipment, sometimes they even stay there for one or two months. But I’m too scared. I don’t dare to go to places that are too dangerous. They just tookto a few relatively safe and simple places. What Brother Shao mentioned just now sounds a lot like the challenges often encountered in wilderness survival.”

“By that logic, could it be that this painting is testing us on wilderness survival?” Wei Dong said.

“It makes sense,” Shao Ling said, “In this painting, we have lost all readily available resources. We need to obtain food, water, and medicine on our own. It feels like we’re in a dilemma, and it’s a primitive dilemma that requires relatively primitive means to solve our most basic needs.”

“I think your line of thought is skewed, President Shao,” Ke Xun spoke, “The so-called primitive dilemma we’re facing now may indeed be a clue, but I think it’s only a supplementary clue. The important clues lie in those blood-filled houses in the residential area and what caused these bizarre incidents. lChxfs
