Wilderness Survival with Druid System-Chapter 495 - 44: Successful Rescue

By the campfire.

Yan Bian and the others were wolfing down their food, while Chen Wen leisurely sipped on mushroom soup.

Of course, he was drinking mushroom soup that had been boiled again with fresh ingredients added.

"Eat slower, eat slower, don’t choke."

Seeing them devouring the food like starving ghosts, Chen Wen couldn’t help but say, "I just managed to find you and save you all, but if one or two of you choke to death, I won’t even have a place to cry."

The three young tourists, feeling embarrassed, slowed down and started eating more gracefully.

But Yan Bian and the three guides were not picky at all.

Yan Bian grinned and said cheerfully, "Don’t worry, if anyone chokes, just punch them in the stomach, and it’ll definitely come out."

"Makes sense."

"Absolutely right."

The two guides agreed, taking big bites of meat.

After eating, Chen Wen looked at the group lounging around as if they were dead and said again, "Don’t you have anything to ask or say?"

Yan Bian picked his teeth with his index finger and sighed, "Bro, seriously, we don’t have the energy."

"Those four bastards only gave us one meal a day so we couldn’t rebel, and it wasn’t even enough to fill us up."

At this point, one of the guides said through clenched teeth, "We were getting by on just water every day. Damn it, if it wasn’t for that dog having a gun, I’d punch his head right round!"

Well, seems like there’s a lot of resentment.

Chen Wen didn’t say much more.

At this moment, the only girl among the young people timidly spoke, "We have another companion..."

"Liu Ting, right? She’s safe, just in a cave not far from here. I’ll bring her over tomorrow morning."

Chen Wen said kindly, "You don’t need to worry about her."

Hearing this, the girl let out a long sigh of relief.

Then Chen Wen seemed to remember something, and he looked at the two young men and asked, "Who’s Liu Ting’s boyfriend?"

A tall guy timidly raised his hand.

Chen Wen grinned, "You’re something else. You’ve become famous nationwide. Everyone knows there was a fool who dived into the Ailao Mountain Forbidden Zone with friends just to make his girlfriend smile."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ting’s boyfriend looked embarrassed.

Hearing the outside news, Yan Bian and the two guides hesitated.

Seeing this, Chen Wen just shared the news he knew from start to finish.

Especially the situation with their families.

Upon hearing their wives and children were safe and waiting outside the Ailao Mountain for them to return.

Yan Bian and the two guides sighed with relief, their eyes filled with tears.

And when the three young people heard that their parents had come all the way to Ailao Mountain for them, they started crying with regret.

"Bro, there’s nothing more to say."

Yan Bian grabbed Chen Wen’s shoulder, "From now on, my life is yours!"

It sounded like something out of the underworld.

The other two guides didn’t wait for Chen Wen to reply and nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, if you tell me to go east, I won’t go west!"

"If you tell me to chase a dog, I won’t catch a chicken!"

My goodness, you two might as well start a career in stand-up comedy right here.

Chen Wen waved his hand with a smile, "We’re all bros, and besides, I quite like it here."

Like it here?

The two guides looked at Chen Wen in confusion.

Is this a place someone could actually like?

After crying for a while, the three young people also realized.

They thanked Chen Wen and said they would hand him a good amount of cash—at this age, those who play hiking and outdoor activities usually have decent family conditions.

But Chen Wen declined.

He simply reminded them, "Just be careful next time, don’t put yourself in dangerous situations. Hiking is a nice activity, but it’s best to know your limits."

After saying that, Yan Bian and the others were sleepy.

They hadn’t been resting well these days, so they fell asleep by the campfire.

After everyone fell asleep.

Chen Wen distanced himself from the campfire and walked to the edge of the camp.

He whistled softly, and a Crested Honey Buzzard quickly descended.

"How’s everyone? No one got hurt, right?"

"Nope, they’re all back in the cave."

The Crested Honey Buzzard replied.

Hearing this, Chen Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving a certain distance, he spread his wings and flew to an area where he could use the satellite phone.

He dialed the phone and waited for about ten seconds.

With a cry of "Ow", Xu Yong inhaled sharply and said, "Chen Wen? How are you? Any news? Are you hurt?"

Hearing this, Chen Wen replied, "I’m fine, don’t worry. Find somewhere to sit; what I’m about to say might be a bit shocking."

Xu Yong grew tense.

Could it be something went wrong?

He quickly found a place, sat down, and waited for Chen Wen’s news.

A moment later, Chen Wen said, "Didn’t I tell you before that I found them? This morning, I made a move."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yong’s heart leaped.

After a pause, Chen Wen continued, "They weren’t as tough as I thought, and I’ve already subdued them all, and everyone was saved."

Xu Yong gasped, "Everyone? All seven?"

"Yes, three guides and four tourists."

"How are they? What’s their condition?"

"They’re pretty good."

Chen Wen continued, "But I can’t take them away easily right now, and there are still four poachers. They’re tied up, and taking them with us feels a bit too difficult."

Listening to Chen Wen say they were all safe, Xu Yong’s mind went blank.

His head buzzed for a moment.

Xu Yong said, "As long as everyone’s okay, that’s all that matters!"

As he said this, Xu Yong felt an immense weight lift from his shoulders, and he couldn’t help leaning against the bed, letting out a long sigh.

"In any case, we’re having some difficulty getting back."

Chen Wen interrupted Xu Yong’s sigh, saying, "Where is team one? Have them follow the lake; I’ll be waiting for them."

Talking serious business, Xu Yong quickly got up.

He said, "Team one went to the location you told me this morning. They should arrive in a day or two."

Team one has mobilized?

Chen Wen let out a sigh of relief, "Alright, I’ll wait here."

After speaking, the two fell silent for a while.

Finally, Xu Yong broke the silence, "Chen Wen, you’ve achieved great merit!"

"Merit or no merit, doesn’t matter... cough, cough."

Chen Wen intended to be modest, but he suddenly thought of the animals around him.

So he quickly said, "But there is a small matter, and I’m not sure if you could help with it..."

Hearing this, Xu Yong said boldly, "Say it! As an official at the provincial level, I won’t fail to handle it."

"With your words, I’m relieved."

Chen Wen chuckled and said, "It’s like this: I trained some animals to help with the search and rescue. Now these animals can’t leave me, so I was thinking if I could take them with me?"

This matter, huh.

Xu Yong laughed and said, "A small matter. By the way, what animals have you trained?"
