Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Zhong Wan took the water.

He sat down next to Xia Youmi, gazing at the lake and the distance.

"You did a great job with the first aid."

"Really? I was worried I'd gotten rusty." Ever since Zhong Wan rejoined the team, Xia Youmi's half-baked life-saving techniques were basically no longer needed.

Her theoretical knowledge is quite good, but it's often not needed for minor injuries, and she's not needed for major injuries.

In her spare time, Zhong Wanlai would teach her some commonly used techniques.

Once they had warmed up, they split up and began to work separately.

Zhong Wan went to change Xu Yi's dressing, while Xia Youmi went to gather firewood and observe the terrain and animals.

By the time they rekindled the fire, it was nearly midnight.

Communication has not yet been restored. Xu Yi is in good condition, but has fallen into a deep sleep.

The environment is quite safe; given the kidnappers' eagerness, they would never venture this far.

"I'll take the picture for you!"

Seeing that she was passing the time by taking pictures of the scenery and herself, Zhong Wan thought she would take over and give it a try.

It seems someone once said that girls really like being photographed, and he was afraid Xia Youmi would be too embarrassed to bother him.

"Haha, thank you, Dr. Zhong!"

Xia Youmi straightened her appearance and very generously used the blue sky, lakes, glaciers, and snow-capped mountains as a backdrop.

The clicking sound never stopped.

Zhong Wan even squatted down, searching for the most beautiful composition and lighting.

Wow! Superb, unbeatable master level!

"So lovely."

"cough."

Xia Youmi and Zhong Wan were looking at their results on the screen when they heard a cough and immediately looked up.

Xu Yi, his lips pale, lifted a corner of the tent.

"feel better now?"

After setting the camera down, Xia Youmi inquired about the situation while adding warm water.

Zhong Wan is checking Xu Yi's temperature.

"Okay, cough, much better."

"Thank you!" Xu Yi's eyes were filled with complex emotions; last night was not a dream.

It was a scene even more fantastical than a dream, where Xia Youmi came under the aurora and rescued him from the edge.

He wavered between ecstasy and agony, ultimately witnessing only the cold, hard reality.

Looking at the smiles on the two men's faces, Xu Yi felt superfluous.

He lowered his head, concealing his gloomy eyes.

He hadn't seen Xia Youmi for many years, so he couldn't say that he was driven to ruin by unrequited love.

The more darkness grew in his heart, the more he trapped himself in his own web.

Looking back on a lifetime of searching for a few bright spots, I realize that this place I once missed might not be able to accommodate all of my life.

"Hey!"

Xia Youmi interrupted Xu Yi's thoughts with her voice.

"What's going on with you?"

What exactly did Li Hua do?

Are there any clues about the other person's whereabouts?

Xu Yi stared blankly at the other party's businesslike attitude, and then laughed.

“We just came together to see the aurora, and then… Li Hua, a Muay Thai expert, after escaping, deliberately knocked me down to lure the kidnappers and buy time.”

Muay Thai expert!

Xia Youmi felt that the problem was serious. She exchanged a glance with Zhong Wan, their eyes filled with deep concern.

“But fate wouldn’t take me, and it even gave me a fever without any pain... Then, I saw the aurora.” Xu Yi said, looking at Xia Youmi, whose eyes had lost their ease and were filled with solemnity.

"what happened?"

You're saying Li Hua is a master?

"I found out about his underground boxing matches by accident." Xu Yi was somewhat slow to react; he clearly sensed something unusual but couldn't think about it deeply.

"Take a rest and have something to eat." Xia Youmi picked up a folding bucket, gestured to Zhong Wan, and explained to Xu Yi at the same time:

"Dr. Zhong and I will go see if we can catch some fish; they're within your sight."

"Ah."

Xu Yi sat obediently, drinking diluted dry porridge.

Xia Youmi and Zhong Wan walked towards the lake together, found an inlet where they could see fish, and pointed to the lake water, discussing:

"The information does not show that Li Hua knows Muay Thai."

"team leader!"

"The captain also twisted his ankle. If we're not prepared, that person might launch a sneak attack."

"But he should be thinking about getting rescued."

"Yes, but if something happens to the captain, the support team won't be able to get our information, and perhaps..."

"Perhaps it won't be found in time."

"The other party might be pointing out incorrect information!" Xia Youmi's expression was complicated. She wished she had been more ruthless and rendered the person immobile, forcing them to wait obediently for the captain to go find reinforcements.

“I don’t approve of you going to find someone alone.” Dr. Zhong sorted out his thoughts.

The lakeside is the best place to set up camp, with water and timber, and fish to catch, so survival is not a problem.

If Xia Youmi were to go back alone, he might encounter members of the kidnapping organization, and he was unwilling to risk that situation.

"I see"

"Let's keep it from Xu Yi for now; he's not in a good mental state." Zhong Wan's research also includes psychology.

"it is good."

The two said no more and doubled down on preparing supplies.

Originally, in order to cope with various situations, the medicines were mainly for emergency use and were of a wide variety. However, if the war continues, I'm afraid they won't be able to remain so vulnerable.

Zhong Wan stretched her limbs, fully aware that if they didn't receive timely treatment, it would lead to countless long-term consequences.

For now, we'll leave it to fate.

Dusk.

The simple fishing tackle is now complete, consisting of carbon line, hooks, and compressed biscuits.

It looks comical, but the effect is surprisingly good.

By evening, seeing a few dried fish simply salted and cured on the wooden rack, I finally felt much more at ease.

Thirty-nine hours after leaving the team.

It's pretty much confirmed that something unexpected happened on the captain's side.

The three were running out of supplies, and in particular, the two men's conditions had not improved.

He just held back from saying it.

Xu Yi already knew something was wrong, but he didn't make a scene; instead, he spent more time in a daze.

Sixty-eight hours since leaving the team.

They've been on the island for three days now. At the usual pace, even if they search the entire island, they should have found them by now.

During this period, apart from short breaks, Xia Youmi basically spent all her time collecting supplies.

Neither she nor the system expected that they would experience a wilderness survival mode in modern society, which deviated drastically from the plot.

The situation outside the island was also not peaceful, just as they had guessed.

Captain Yan Xiu was unconscious. Xiao Wu and Liu Dongzi were captured by the kidnappers and were seriously injured in the ensuing chaos.

The head of the brigade was completely numb.

On the surface, the operation was a complete failure, with only one person, Li Hua, saved.

When Ma Ke was found, he was a corpse.

Most of the kidnappers were arrested, but a few escaped.

Xia Youmi and two others have gone missing.

According to Li Hua's description, that direction was a dead end, with only a deep ditch. There were also traces of wild animal activity nearby, suggesting that someone had been chased to the brink of despair and jumped down.

Families and media flocked in, and rhetoric against the gangs took advantage of the chaos, with well-known factions shifting blame and fighting amongst themselves.

No one expected that the starting point for stirring up the storm was just Li Hua, a mere troublemaker.

He supported himself through his doctoral studies by fighting in underground boxing matches, and his wife was a minor leader in a gang.

Unexpectedly, his lover took a liking to his classmate Xu Yi and wanted him to cooperate.

Both of them had their own ulterior motives, which led to this aurora trip.

However, the gang also had internal strife. Upon learning that Ma Ke, who was traveling with them, was a rich second-generation with countless assets, they hatched a wicked plan to extort him.

It was Ma Ke's family who called the police.

His family had a series of contingency plans in place so that they could contact the rescue team in the shortest possible time.

But it's still a step too late.
