Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 123: Forced to Quit

But Yun Qing still did as instructed and brought over a rock.

"Xiao Qing, do you think this tracking ball can fly a little closer?" Su Yan turned and said to Yun Qing.

"It should be able to, it’s pretty smart," Yun Qing glanced at Su Yan.

Is this from excessive stress, causing some mental instability?

No way, doctors are trained to handle pressure well; such small stress shouldn’t cause a breakdown, right?

"Come down a little, let the audience see more clearly," Su Yan said earnestly, looking up at the tracking ball.

"Is this Dr. Su acting a bit abnormal?"

"It can’t be, if such a setback breaks her down, who would dare see her as a doctor in the future?"

"I don’t think it’s that simple, Dr. Su doesn’t look like she’s in a breakdown state."

"Whoa, Dr. Su grabbed the tracking ball, what’s she up to?"

Then, everyone saw Su Yan grab the tracking ball and press it onto the rock, lifting another rock to smash it.

"Impressive, she’s trying to use the tracking ball to start a fire. If there are batteries inside, she might succeed."

"Isn’t she going to get expelled by the organizers for this?"

"Oh man, what metal is this tracking ball made of? It’s being smashed repeatedly and doesn’t deform at all?"

"Alien technology, how could us mere mortals understand?"

"The rock is smashed to pieces, yet the tracking ball is completely fine; this quality is out of this world."

"I knew Dr. Su hadn’t lost her mind, she was trying to use the tracking ball to start a fire. Unfortunately, she miscalculated."

"If the tracking ball didn’t work, then smash the watch, that thought process is reasonable."

"The quality of this watch is too good, I’d love to get one."

"Give up, stop struggling."

"Ah!" Su Yan shouted to the sky, filled with unwillingness.

She really hadn’t expected the hardness of the tracking ball and the Star Chart to surpass her imagination.

"We should give up," Yun Qing suddenly said.

Because, a light rain began to fall from the sky.

"It’s really frustrating," Su Yan looked up, she thought she could get a fire going, but not only did she fail, the drizzle had also started.

However, unwillingness was useless now.

One has to learn to admit defeat.

If the rain got heavier, she and Yun Qing would freeze to death here.

So, they had no choice but to give up.

"Let’s go back, the rain’s getting heavier," Su Yan said with difficulty, thinking that even without tools and having lost the camp, she and Yun Qing could still endure for a while.

But reality was harsh; perseverance alone couldn’t solve it.

Yun Qing glanced at Su Yan, then nodded and pressed the button to give up.

The next second, she found herself in a bright space, feeling somewhat unreal.

"Going through that door, we should be able to return, right?"

"Should be, did you guys give up too?" A voice sounded.

Another group of members appeared, clearly having given up as well.

"I’m Lin Fang, nice to meet you," Lin Fang, a man in his twenties, couldn’t help but try to chat up the pretty Su Yan and Yun Qing, hoping to befriend Su Yan or something.

Unfortunately, Su Yan and Yun Qing didn’t want to engage with these two and headed directly toward the door.

"Welcome back safely, you’ve worked hard."

A few people waited for their return at the Star Gate. Once Su Yan and Yun Qing appeared, someone handed them a blanket.

"Please follow us, you need to undergo some examinations," said a staff member in protective clothing, then led the way.

Su Yan and Yun Qing exchanged a glance, then followed along.

After disinfection, a shower, and changing clothes, they were taken for medical exams.

"After your test results come out, you can leave here and live at the camp community for a while," the staffer said, placing down food.

"Wait a minute, are you saying that even after the exams, we can’t go home?" Yun Qing asked, puzzled, thinking that once exams confirmed her good health, she could leave.

"Yes, before the challenge ends, you need to stay at the camp. Because you still have a chance to return to the challenge," the staffer explained.

"What, we still have a chance to continue the challenge?" Su Qing asked excitedly.

"Yes, that’s what the organizers say, but we don’t know the details of how or the requirements. Maybe when certain conditions are met, we’ll be informed," the staffer added.

"Okay, thank you," Su Yan replied, picking up the chopsticks. She was starving, so with the chance to continue the challenge, she’d just wait for it.

The two of them devoured all the rice and vegetables, leaving nothing behind.

"First discovery, rice is actually so delicious," Yun Qing picked up a grain of rice from the table and popped it into her mouth.

"Yeah, these dishes are delicious too, ugh," Su Yan said, letting out a full burp.

"Home is still more comfortable," Yun Qing stood up and moved to the sofa.

"I wonder how Lu Ke is doing," Su Yan glanced at the TV, immediately picking up the remote. After being in the wilderness for so long, she really missed everything at home.

"They should have given up and come out long ago; we’ll surely meet them when we go to the camp community tomorrow," Yun Qing thought that since she and Su Yan could only hold on for around twenty days, Xu Yi and Lu Ke wouldn’t hold out longer, especially since Lu Ke was a patient facing death.

After turning on the TV, Su Yan was stunned.

Because the TV screen was exactly where Xu Yi and Lu Ke were.

Xu Yi and Lu Ke were twisting hemp ropes, the picture was very clear.

"No way, they haven’t given up yet?" Yun Qing was dumbfounded.

She thought Xu Yi and Lu Ke would have been eliminated long ago, but was immediately proven wrong.

"Not only haven’t they given up, they’re living pretty comfortably. Look at that dried meat, enough to eat for several days," Su Yan pointed at the screen, saying, the tracking ball’s footage was so clear, surpassing 4K quality.

Unfortunately, the screen wasn’t big enough to fully display the image. If it were big enough, it would feel like the two were right in front of you.

"They even have a table, chairs, it’s unbelievable, how do they manage that?" Yun Qing felt her face go hot, realizing Xu Yi not only persisted with Lu Ke but clearly outperformed them by far.

"And a hunting bow, machete, crossbow, and clothing. Unbelievable, they turned out to be so capable. Lu Ke looks in good spirits, not at all like someone near death," Su Yan touched her ear, eyes lighting up.

Xu Yi and Lu Ke gave her a big surprise.
