Chapter 5: Water Source Exploration Mission

The rain continued to fall, with no sign of stopping. Su Xi and Lin Yanjun hid under a large rock for a long time, their clothes were soaked, and the cold gradually invaded them.

"This is not a solution. We have to find a place that can better shelter us from the wind and rain," said Lin Yanjun.

Su Xi nodded, and the two decided to set out in the rain to find a suitable shelter. They walked forward with difficulty in the rain, and the road under their feet became muddy.

After much difficulty, they found a cave. After entering the cave, Su Xi and Lin Yanjun found some dry branches and tried to make a fire to keep warm.

"I hope we can start the fire quickly." Su Xi said while rubbing his hands.

Lin Yanjun tried hard to hit the stone to produce sparks, and after several attempts, he finally succeeded in igniting the branches. The warm firelight illuminated the cave and also made them feel a little comforted.

After the rain stopped, the program team announced a new mission - water source exploration. Each team needs to find a clean water source within the specified time and bring it back to the camp.

The group that Su Xi and Lin Yanjun were in set off immediately. They followed the marks they had made earlier and carefully searched for clues to the water source in the forest.

"Su Xi, look at the plants here. Are they growing lushly? Maybe there is a water source nearby." Lin Yanjun said, pointing to a green area.

Su Xi observed for a while and felt that what Lin Yanjun said made sense, so the two of them walked in that direction. After walking for a while, they really heard the sound of gurgling water.

They followed the sound and found a stream with clear water.

"Great, we finally found a water source." Su Xi said excitedly.

However, just as they were about to fetch water, the system's voice sounded again in Su Xi's mind.

"It made the stream dirty and unusable for other groups."

Su Xi frowned, resisting this order in her heart.

"No, we can't do this." Su Xi said to Lin Yanjun.

Lin Yanjun was a little confused: "What's wrong?"

Su Xi hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Lin Yanjun about the system.

After hearing this, Lin Yanjun widened his eyes and said, "This is too outrageous. You can't listen to it."

Su Xi nodded firmly, and the two began to fill the containers they brought with water.

Just then, Su Shiqian's team also found this place.

"Huh, you guys are pretty quick." Su Shiqian said.

Su Xi ignored her and continued to concentrate on getting water.

Seeing this, Su Shiqian came over and tried to make trouble. Lin Yanjun quickly stood in front of Su Xi and said, "Don't mess around."

Su Shiqian sneered: "Why, are you afraid that I will take away your credit?"

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Su Xi said, "Everyone stop arguing. Our goal is to complete the mission, not to argue here."

Su Shiqian snorted and took her team to the other side to get water.

Su Xi and Lin Yanjun successfully fetched water and returned to the camp. On the way, Su Xi kept thinking about how to get rid of the system's control.

Back at the camp, other groups also came back one after another. The director checked the water each group brought back and evaluated everyone's performance.

"Su Xi and Lin Yanjun's team not only found the water source, but also the water quality was very good, which is worthy of praise," said the director.

Su Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and she was glad that she did not obey the system's instructions.

In the evening, everyone sat around the campfire and shared their experiences of the day, but Su Xi seemed to be a little worried.

"Su Xi, what's wrong with you? You don't look happy." asked a guest.

Su Xi forced a smile: "It's okay, just a little tired."

In fact, she was worried that the system would threaten her again because of her disobedience. At this moment, the system's voice sounded again.

"You escaped this time, but you won't be so lucky next time. For the next food collection mission, you must do as I say."

Su Xi clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind to find a way to get rid of this hateful system.

The next day, the food collection mission began. Su Xi and Lin Yanjun walked into the forest, looking for edible fruits and small animals.

"Su Xi, look, there is a fruit tree over there." Lin Yanjun said, pointing ahead.

Su Xi looked up and saw that the tree was full of red fruits. Just as they were about to pick the fruits, the system issued a command.

"Destroy all these fruits and don't let other groups get them."

Su Xi gritted her teeth and said to Lin Yanjun: "We can't do this. Everyone needs these fruits."

Lin Yanjun nodded in agreement: "Yes, we can't be controlled by that system."

Just as they were about to leave, Su Shiqian's group appeared.

"Hey, why don't you pick the fruits? Are you afraid they are poisonous?" Su Shiqian laughed.

Su Xi ignored her and continued walking forward with Lin Yanjun. Su Shiqian felt strange and walked over to take a look at the fruit. When she found nothing wrong, she asked her team to start picking the fruit.

Su Xi and Lin Yanjun continued to look for other food in the forest, and they found a rabbit hole.

"Should we set a trap to catch the rabbit?" Lin Yanjun asked.

Just as Su Xi was about to nod, the system's voice rang again.

"Destroy the trap and let the rabbit escape."

Su Xi said angrily: "No, I won't listen to you!"

She and Lin Yanjun set up a trap together and successfully caught a rabbit.

Returning to the camp, Su Xi felt more refreshed than ever before. She knew that the fight against the system had just begun, but she was already prepared...
