The Rise of the Youth in the War of Resistance

Chapter 58 Wrong Choices Lead to Mistakes (2)

Zhao Shao, who was left behind, sat alone on the ground, lost in thought.

He couldn't help but start to reflect, if Wang Shi had been by his side at the time, perhaps he could really have avoided many potential life threats?

Thinking of this, he secretly vowed to obey orders in the future and never take risks easily again.

Take the time we just went hunting for example!

All along, I naively believed that as long as I had the system, there would be no danger that could threaten my life.

However, something unexpected happened!

Since when, Zhao Shao found that he felt dizzy and his vision went dark when he walked, as if the whole world was spinning.

At the same time, his limbs gradually became soft and weak, as if all his strength had been drained away.

Suddenly, without any warning, he fell to the ground and was unable to get up.

Just as the flame of life was gradually extinguished, the system's prompt sound finally came.

"Ding, the host has been detected to be poisoned. Please immediately consume the plant that is blooming not far ahead."

Hearing the words coming from the system, Zhao Shao used all his strength to struggle to open his extremely heavy eyelids.

In the blurred vision, I saw a lavender flower quietly growing about twenty meters ahead, standing as gracefully as a shy girl.

While he still had a glimmer of consciousness, Zhao Shao forced himself to stand up, took a few shaky steps forward, but then fell heavily to the ground again.

Despite this, he still gritted his teeth and continued to move forward tenaciously. Unfortunately, he only walked seven or eight meters before he lost control of his body again.

Just a few minutes later, Zhao Shao miraculously woke up.

It turned out that the system was waking him up by constantly sounding alarms.

At this moment, he clearly felt that he had completely lost sensation from his legs down. Helplessly, he could only rely on his hands to crawl forward...

The remaining distance of just over ten meters seemed like an insurmountable chasm to him at that moment.

He crawled with difficulty, and every meter of progress required tremendous effort.

However, when he finally climbed to the tenth meter, the remaining few meters seemed as far away as a chasm, and it was difficult to cross it no matter what.

Zhao Shao kept encouraging himself deep down in his heart, trying to dispel the dual fatigue of body and mind.

He said to himself silently:

“Don’t give up so easily!

Be sure to keep at it!

You haven't yet completed the last command your mother gave you - to live tenaciously!

Try harder! "

Although his hands and feet had lost all feeling, he relied on the last bit of willpower he had left to grit his teeth and use all his strength to move forward inch by inch in an almost twisted posture, like a desperately wriggling caterpillar.

At the critical moment when the fire of life was about to go out, he finally succeeded in biting the life-saving flower with his mouth and swallowed it without hesitation.

Time passed minute by minute, and after about an hour, Zhao Shao slowly woke up from his coma.

At this moment, although his body was still soft and weak, his heart was filled with a strong emotion - that was the endless joy and deep emotion brought by rebirth.

If Wang Shi had been by his side, perhaps even something as simple as picking a flower would have become much easier! Thinking of this, Zhao Shao couldn't help but open his mouth again and said to Wang Shi:

"From now on, I will never run around recklessly again. No matter what I do, I will inform you first."

Wang Shi, who was processing the pheasant, heard this and his usual smiling expression reappeared on his face. He responded:

"But you must remember what you said today. Don't wait until the time comes to regret it."

......

At noon, after lunch, Wang Shi asked Zhao Shao curiously:

"Hey, tell me, how can we get out of this dense and deep jungle?"

Zhao Shao deliberately kept everyone in suspense. He smiled mysteriously at first, then pointed at the trees in front of him and behind him and said:

"Come, take a closer look at the trees across from me and see what the difference is between them."

After carefully observing and comparing them, Wang Shi replied:

"It's just that the leaves in the forest ahead are denser, so the sunlight shines through the gaps more.

But what does this mean?

What does it have to do with the direction we are looking for?"

Zhao Shao did not answer directly, but asked again in a mysterious way:

"So, in your opinion, where does the sun rise?"

"Of course it rises slowly from east to west!"

Wang Shi answered without hesitation.

It was only then that he suddenly realized something, as if waking from a dream. With a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, he said:

"Oh~ I see!

You mean that the trees on the east side tend to appear more lush and leafy due to the sunlight exposure?

On the contrary, the west side receives less sunlight, so its branches and leaves are relatively sparse.

So, the side with dense branches should face east, and the side with sparse branches should face west, right?"

Zhao Shao clapped his hands lightly with a smile, not sparing his praise:

“Yes, that’s really great!

I only gave you two hints, but you were able to understand and suddenly realize it.

This comprehension ability is truly astonishing!"

His eyes sparkled with admiration and appreciation.

However, he then revealed a hint of regret and said softly:

"Ah, no wonder you were born into a wealthy family, while I am just an ordinary person.

I am really curious, what kind of talent makes your mind so smart?"

His words revealed both envy and doubt about Wang Shi's intelligence and talent.

Wang Shi was originally immersed in the complacency of being praised. After hearing Zhao Shao's sentiment, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy and immediately retorted:

"Humph!

If you have the chance and come to my house, you will naturally understand how my head grew like this!

Okay, enough of this, it’s time for us to get going.”

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Zhao Shao didn't seem to come back to his senses from his thoughts. He still stood there, thinking hard about what Wang Shi had just said, and didn't notice that Wang Shi had already walked away.

After a while, Wang Shi found that there was no movement behind him. He turned around and saw Zhao Shao still standing there, motionless.

In desperation, he had to turn back, grab Zhao Shao's ear, and shout:

"You're deaf, I told you to leave."

Zhao Shao said, "But I still haven't figured out how you figured out their connection."

"Don't dwell on this issue anymore, just catch up!

We can’t waste any time!”

As Wang Shi spoke, he pulled Zhao Shao forward...

Time flies, and more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this sunny afternoon with a gentle breeze, Wang Shi stood quietly on the hillside, gazing at the vast and empty land in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh:

"It was so difficult, but we finally made it out of these mountains. I'm sure the rest of the journey will be much smoother!"

Zhao Shao, who was standing by, was also witnessing such a vast plain for the first time, and he was in a particularly happy mood.

Unable to contain their excitement, the two finally couldn't help but shout loudly, releasing all the emotions that had been pent up for so long.
