Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 451: Chapter 120: Sudden News

”Keep breathing! Coordinate your body!”

”Hold your breath! Persevere!”

”Is this your limit? Too weak!”

These are the words Chen Wen heard most often during his month of special training.

In this month of special training, Chen Wen’s main focus was on physical coordination, endurance cross-country, and concentration training.

Physical coordination training was further divided into yoga, tai chi, and balance exercises.

Endurance cross-country training included weighted running, cross-country running, and wilderness parkour.

Qu Yong even brought a big black dog from home to act as a beast and chase Chen Wen.

Chen Wen was quite resistant to being chased by a dog.

He insisted, ”Yong, truthfully speaking, forget a dog, even a hippo, I can spar with it using my physique, so why practice running away?”

Qu Yong calmly replied, ”There will be times when you are chased. What would you do when encountering packs of wolves, hyenas, or even lions on a vast plain? Spar with them? Do you think you’re a superhero?”

”In such situations, you can utilize the terrain, find the shortest route in narrow and complex areas, and shake them off! Practice!”

Not easy to convince!

Thinking this in his heart, Chen Wen honestly accepted the training.

And the concentration training was even more intense.

Qu Yong was once a scout in the army and later retired due to injury.

He had participated in some special forces training and selection.

Now, he directly transferred that training over.

Emergency gatherings at midnight, staying up through the night repeatedly, starving a few meals, and grilling meat in front of you as training...

Although it was tough, Chen Wen endured.

And he did it without activating any hidden talents.

Therefore, after a month of special training, Chen Wen felt that even without relying on the system, he could now arm wrestle with Adam.

”Alright, you can go back.”

Looking at the completely renewed Chen Wen, Qu Yong was quite satisfied.

Such young people willing to temper themselves are indeed rare.

Even Hua Yun was far inferior to Chen Wen.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen immediately helped Qu Yong pack the stuff, and the two chatted as they walked back to the village.

This month, Chen Wen didn’t even carry his phone.

He trained completely isolated from the world.

”You’re very strong now. In a wilderness survival competition, if nothing unexpected happens, getting a good ranking shouldn’t be difficult.”

After getting familiar with Chen Wen, Qu Yong talked more: ”However, you have some issues with energy distribution, but that’s fine. When you get back, consult with Mr. Zhao at the association; he’s older than me, yet every late stage of survival he always has some energy left. His energy distribution skills are unparalleled.”

Keeping this in mind, Chen Wen said, ”I will.”

”Alright, I don’t have much else to teach you. Just don’t slack off when you go back. With your physique, maintaining your current physical strength until thirty-five is feasible, but after thirty-five, it’s hard to resist the erosion of time. By then, reduce training to slow down the rate of physical decline.”

Qu Yong looked at Chen Wen with a nostalgic expression.

In his youth, he was like Chen Wen, only to be defeated by time.

Back in the village, Chen Wen and Qu Yong had their last meal together before bidding farewell.

...

Riding a taxi back to the nearest town, Chen Wen finally powered up his freshly charged phone when he was about to pay.

After scanning to pay.

Chen Wen planned to stay a couple of days at the zoo.

But after he paid, a flood of messages appeared.

Chen Wen frowned as he noticed numerous missed calls.

This shouldn’t be the case?

Everyone around me knows where I’ve gone, why so many calls?

Could it be various advertisements?

Thinking this, Chen Wen opened the call log.

Excluding those that were clearly marketing numbers, a few numbers made Chen Wen somewhat worried.

”Why are all these calls from the island brothers? And all within the past two days, could something have happened?”

Chen Wen murmured.

He directly sat with his luggage by the roadside and started to call back.

He first tried calling Yan Bian, but the phone was already off.

With no choice, Chen Wen contacted Lv Guocheng.

The first attempt failed to connect.

The second time, after waiting for a while, the call connected.

Lv Guocheng’s side was noisy, seemingly chaotic.

Just as Chen Wen was about to ask if it was convenient for Lv Guocheng to talk, Lv Guocheng hastily said, ”Chen Wen, finally got in touch with you, where are you now?”

”I’m over in the northeast, a town, I was learning from Vice President Qu Yong of the association a while back.”

Chen Wen asked, ”Mr. Lv, I noticed you and others called many times, has something happened?”

”Indeed, something happened, and it’s quite a big deal.”

Lv Guocheng’s voice was deeply fatigued: ”Yan Bian had an accident!”

”What exactly happened... are you busy lately?”

”Not busy.”

Chen Wen quickly replied, ”If there’s something I can help with, just let me know.”

”Alright, I might really need your help with this.”

Lv Guocheng said, sending an address to Chen Wen in the group: ”Come to this place, we’re all here now. Oh, and Mr. Liu from your association is here too, we’ll talk more when you arrive.”

”There’s also a detailed account of this incident in the group that I just sent; check it out on your way here. We’re still on the perimeter, waiting for you to start the operation. Stay safe on the way.”

Chen Wen responded, and looked at the news report that was just posted in the group.

Upon reading it, Chen Wen frowned.

”Another disappearance case in Ailao Mountain.”

Chen Wen muttered the headline, his eyes flickering.

In his previous life and in this world, Ailao Mountain has always been a persistent topic of discussion.

This is especially true in this world!

Whether it’s researchers disappearing, outdoor adventurers disappearing, or just last year when a blogger used a video to draw more attention to Ailao Mountain.

The topic surrounding Ailao Mountain never fades.

The association focuses on survival, so naturally, Ailao Mountain is included in the association’s records.

However, unlike the supernatural tales outside, the association’s records of Ailao Mountain are more scientific.

”I remember it being recorded that deep inside Ailao Mountain, the undeveloped areas have magnetic fields that render compasses ineffective. The weather is also unpredictable, clear skies one moment, pouring rain the next, with large temperature fluctuations, and many wild animals are abundant.”

”Leopards, or more precisely, leopards, black bears, leopard cats, etc., all these creatures can threaten humans, not to mention the myriad of venomous snakes, insects, poisonous plants, poisonous fog, and various fungi.”

”The terrain there is also extreme, possessing all sorts of dangerous formations. The association assesses it as almost on par with Lop Nur, both being highly unsuitable for wilderness survival.”

And Chen Wen’s brother Yan Bian, the gold medal tour guide, got lost in this extremely dangerous area!
