Chapter 80
This match, they were destined not to take first place.
First there was no map, then they were blocked by the giant snake, and after that the leopard, they had already wasted too much time.
Add to that Chloe still sleeping now, not only did they have no hope for the championship this time, they couldn't even take second place.
Unlucky, simply unlucky beyond words.
In terms of difference in results, there definitely was one, but compared to rankings, for members of the First Military Academy protagonist team, their teammates' safety was still the most important.
Daniel coughed a few times, wiped a tree stump clean with some leaves, sat on it and said:
"Anyway we can't get a ranking now either, let's not go waste our energy."
After saying that, he looked left and right, his hands itching a bit: "Speaking of, are you guys hungry? Want to eat something? I can go catch some small animals."
When he said this, everyone else also felt it made sense.
That's right, anyway they couldn't get a ranking now either, so what were they still working hard for?
Daniel happily ran off to hunt for prey, while the others stayed put to start a fire and set up a stove, and started setting up to eat.
The audience who were still watching the First Military Academy side, luckily got to watch the military academy students' wilderness survival documentary.
Anderson stayed by the sleeping Chloe's side, while the others were hunting or starting fires. Katherine looked left and right, and finally picked up some firewood and built a simple shelter.
Elves were nimble with their hands and minds, this small wooden house had ample space, with the roof and walls fitted together seamlessly, not letting in even a wisp of the wind from outside.
Katherine had also gathered a lot of banana leaves to use as roof tiles, sealing them onto the roof with a viscous substance, ensuring no leaks.
After it was built, Anderson brought Chloe inside.
There was soft hay laid inside, finally allowing Anderson to free up his hands to help the others.
The military academies joint competition, turned into a wilderness campout by them.
With nothing to compete for, the carefree First Military Academy protagonist team had practically forgotten what day it was, spending their days fishing, hunting birds, stealing chickens and dogs, all sorts of jungle delicacies hunted by them, then roasted over the fire rack until the skin was golden brown and the inside oozing with oil.
Compared to the other military academies battling fiercely with each other, the First Military Academy side was simply picture of halcyon days.
?They have completely given up......?
?Yes, but that roasted snake smells so good...I really want to eat some.?
?They are even making soup!?
?What did they put in the soup, mushrooms? Can you eat mushrooms from this jungle??
?I remember they seemed to have studied these mushrooms before, it should be fine.?
At this time, Daniel was using a wooden spoon he had carved to stir a milky white mushroom soup, the aroma wafting temptingly from the pot.
Seeing Daniel leading by example drinking the mushroom soup without incident, everyone finally relaxed, accepting the wooden bowls and enjoying the tasty mushroom soup and soft, oil-laden snake meat, eating this satisfying meal.
Ten minutes later, all four of them were sprawled limply on the ground, beginning to snore loudly.
Everyone: ......
?Oh! Those mushrooms must have been poisonous!?
?I'm speechless, Daniel is incorrigibly harmful.?
?Every single one of them dared to claim and dared to believe it, most importantly they all tried it together, the trust between First Military Academy protagonist team members is horrifyingly strong!?
The audience watched with concern as the four people lay there unconscious, and started worrying what if more savage beasts came while they were like this.
Luckily they didn't have to worry long before Chloe groggily emerged from the small wooden house, first lightly arching in a stretch, then waking up clearly, opening her eyes to take in everything around her, before seeing her teammate's undignified forms strewn limply on the ground.
Chloe: ???
She reflexively thought her teammates had died and hurriedly went to check each of their breathing, only to discover this group was simply sunk in deep slumber.
Chloe frowned, wondering how they could have simultaneously fallen asleep.
She circled around this makeshift campsite and soon discovered the pot of mushroom soup, along with the large pile of spare mushrooms placed on straw off to the side.
Chloe vaguely guessed what had happened.
She picked up one or two mushrooms to examine.
She found these mushrooms were recorded in the reference materials to cause unconsciousness for around three to four hours after ingestion.
Moreover these mushrooms looked extremely similar to another non-poisonous variety, her bunch of low IQ teammates must have mistaken them.
Chloe helplessly pinched her forehead, unsure whether to laugh or cry, this was indeed something her teammates were capable of doing.
Leaving now was clearly inappropriate, dangers lurked everywhere in the jungle, it was fine with someone on guard, but if no one kept watch, and a few fierce beasts turned up again, her stupid teammates would probably die without even knowing how they died.
Thinking this, Chloe sat by the campfire, cutting some snake meat to eat while watching over them.
She glanced down at her body which had been cleaned spotless, a trace of puzzlement flashing through her eyes.
After she had lost consciousness, who was it who saved her and brought her out, and who had helped her clean the filth off her body?
Chloe turned her head, gaze falling on Anderson.
After looking at him for a while, the corner of her lips curled up.
Of course, any of these four teammates could have been the one to save her, but in terms of having the composure to help clean the dirt off her body after, only Anderson would do that.
After about three to four hours, this bunch of teammates finally groggily awoke.
Daniel was first to bounce up excitedly, pouncing over:
"Chloe!!! I missed you to death hahaha!"
Before his voice faded, his chest was blocked by Chloe's knife handle.
The girl's voice held disdain:
"Ugh, filthy from head to toe, stay away from me."
Hearing this, Daniel instantly revealed a pitiful expression.
"Even Anderson looks down on me, and now you look down on me too, life really is unbearable now."
Chloe scolded: "You still have the nerve to talk, I'm asking you, weren't these mushrooms you picked?"
Silence descended.
Daniel scratched his head awkwardly, avoiding her gaze: "Uh, I have some stuff to take care of, I remember it's time for me to go out hunting now."
After saying that he turned to run.
Chloe brandished her knife chasing him: "You bastard! What if I hadn't woken up?! You wouldn't even know if you had been eaten by some beast or not by then!"
Daniel knew he was in the wrong but didn't want to get beat up, and his legs scrambled swiftly.
Chloe chased him, and was about to speed past Anderson when she suddenly halted her footsteps.
Anderson, who had only been silently watching her, revealed an astonished expression on his face: "....Missy?"
Just as the words left his mouth Chloe hugged him.
The girl's body was exceptionally soft, and Anderson's body stiffened.
Chloe's voice held suppressed laughter, sincerely saying:
"This time, I really have to thank you."
