Orc Undead Sports Warrior

Chapter 45 The Lost Hiking Group

After this competition, Lu Wei returned with a full load of achievements, winning four championships by himself.

Each individual event champion received 3 yuan, totaling 9 yuan. The team competition, consisting of 6 members (including two substitutes), was worth 15 yuan, from which Lu Wei also received 3 yuan. In addition, he received 4 yuan for breaking the national records in the 400 meters and shot put, and another 3 yuan for winning the speed climbing championship. This trip to Shanghai brought Lu Wei a total of 19 yuan, which can be described as a huge profit.

If you add the 3 yuan prize money he won in the Ningcheng Championship, Lu Wei has a total of 22 yuan in his account. This is certainly a considerable sum for an ordinary person, but it's still far too little for Lu Wei's dreams. From what he knows, firearms and cars are extremely expensive, and this amount of money is definitely not enough to pursue anything in those fields.

With less than two months to go before the World Athletics Championships, this period is invaluable for Lu Wei. He has only been in this world for a short time, and although his physical abilities have improved significantly, his performance in world competitions will still be inferior.

During this time, Wang Qiao invited Coach Jiang to give Lu Wei intensive training. The training program was packed every day, and the training volume was huge. They would not stop until Lu Wei's physical strength was completely exhausted.

The weekly training sessions at Helan Mountain were considered relaxing for Lu Wei, which shows how intense the training was this time.

Every time Lu Wei goes to the primeval forest, he feels an indescribable sense of familiarity. Other athletes think that mountaineering training is a hellish training, but he thinks that there is a feeling of unrestrained freedom in nature. Orcs are warriors who come from nature.

Lu Wei was pleasantly surprised to find that the owner of this body was not entirely useless. At least he got his driver's license after graduating from high school, and whenever he had time, he would ask his father for his car to practice driving, which saved him from having to start from scratch at a driving school to get his license.

It seems that men are born with a great passion for cars. Lu Wei happened to have 22 yuan in hand, so he took out 20 yuan to buy an off-road vehicle, which he used to practice driving.

Time is limited, so shooting has to be put on hold for now.

Whenever he has a break, Lu Wei drives to Helan Mountain. When he reaches places that cars can't go in, he gets out of the car and wanders alone in the forest. He enjoys this feeling of being immersed in nature.

In the forest, Lu Wei would occasionally encounter wolf packs. Perhaps influenced by the wolf mothers and cubs, the wolves treated Lu Wei relatively well, neither approaching him nor showing hostility.

One day, when Lu Wei went to the primeval forest, he encountered a wolf mother. He felt that she had something to tell him, so Lu Wei put his hand on the wolf mother's head and communicated with her through consciousness.

"Your kind are lost in the deep mountains!" The mother wolf used her own consciousness to tell Lu Wei that someone was lost in the deep mountains.

"How many of them are there, and in which direction are they?" It's already past six in the afternoon, and it's starting to get dark. Besides wolves, this primeval forest also has bison and argali. Most importantly, I heard that a few leopards were released into the forest a few months ago. If they can't get out at night, they might be in danger.

"There are quite a few people behind me." The wolf mother told Lu Wei the general direction of these people. Lu Wei hurriedly said goodbye to the wolf mother and drove along the mountain road to find them.

After driving along the mountain road for about half an hour, Lu Wei noticed a group of people sitting in an open space, about 40 people in total. He honked his car horn, and the car lights attracted the attention of the group.

The crowd cheered when they saw Lu Wei's car.

There was a steep slope about 20 meters between Lu Wei and the others. It would be very difficult for ordinary people to climb this slope without the help of mountaineering equipment, and the car could not be driven down it either. So Lu Wei stopped the car first, walked down the slope, and walked towards the crowd.

"Hello, we're lost in the forest. We've been walking for two hours and haven't found the exit. Our cell phone signal is intermittent. Our colleague has already called the police. Are you the person the police sent to contact us?" Someone saw Lu Wei and rushed up to ask what was going on. Everyone gathered around when they saw someone coming.

Everyone eagerly spoke to Lu Wei, and from their chattering descriptions, Lu Wei came to understand the origins of these people.

This was an outdoor team-building activity organized by a company. The original route was only 23 kilometers long. However, they had no prior experience with forest hiking and did not hire professional guides for this activity. Instead, they contacted a travel company to organize the event for them.

Ironically, the guides hired by the tour company were just amateur travelers; of the four, only one had ever been here before.

The group had taken the wrong route when climbing the first mountain, as the trekking route was undeveloped and the descent was also from the wild. After descending, they traversed a meadow path. They thought they would be out of the mountains by 3 PM, but their incompetent guide led them deep into the mountains. They wandered around for several hours and were now completely exhausted.

One of the tour guides panicked in the mountains, broke away from the group, and headed towards the road, disappearing without a trace.

Lu Wei was dumbfounded when he heard about these people's experiences. He looked at everyone and saw that the only climbing tools they had were trekking poles, and only a few of them were wearing hiking boots.

Although it's summer, the mountain weather is incredibly changeable. One moment it's sunny, the next it's raining after dark clouds drift in, and then the sun shines brightly again as soon as the clouds clear. Now it's evening, and the temperature in the mountains is only a few degrees above zero.

The hikers were exhausted. According to their route for the day, they had already hiked nearly 60 kilometers and climbed a 3000-meter-high mountain. They spontaneously split into several groups and sat on the grass, many shivering. Wearing only light clothing and without prior preparation, they were both tired and hungry.

“I’m not from the police station; I just happened to be passing by and came to check on you. Cars can’t get in here, and if you want to get out, you have to climb this steep slope first. There are many wild animals in the forest, and it’s dangerous to be in an open area at night. I suggest you climb the slope first. I’ll turn on my headlights; at least that will help you avoid the danger of animal attacks.” Lu Wei prepared to guide everyone to a road where cars could pass and wait for rescue.

“Our team hasn’t all arrived yet. One of our colleagues is unable to walk, and he is being supported by five male colleagues and a doctor.”

Lu Wei was completely bewildered by the situation. What was going on? He wondered how many people had fallen behind. It seemed that they wouldn't be able to get out of there until late at night.
