Ning Shu thought for a moment and said, "I was awakened by Xiaoguo's cries for help! When I woke up, I was under a big tree. I guess I survived because the branches and open fields cushioned my fall!"
"What about her?" Lu Zhe asked, pointing at Tang Xiaoguo.
"She got lucky and got caught in a tree when she fell," Ning Shu replied.
"Did you run into Jiang Yao?" Lu Zhe asked.
Jiang Yao was Lu Zhe's high school deskmate. They went to the same university and were dance partners in their club.
Hearing Lu Zhe ask about Jiang Yao's situation, Tang Xiaoguo was a little unhappy: "Don't know."
Ning Shu also said, "After I rescued Xiaoguo, the two of us walked towards the beach. We didn't get very far before we ran into you guys!"
"I see..." Lu Zhe nodded and also gave a detailed account of how he found Lin Qianqian.
Ning Shu nodded: "But the scene at the time was indeed easy to misinterpret!"
Lu Zhe sighed, "Unhealthy thoughts lead to seeing issues everywhere."
"Lu Zhe, do you miss our class president's fingers, huh?" Ning Shu stretched out her hand to pinch Lu Zhe.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhe looked up to the sky and sighed, "Go ahead and pinch me, harder if you can. Hopefully it'll wake me up! That way...we won't have to suffer here!"
Hearing Lu Zhe say this, Ning Shu fell silent. She knew what kind of dire situation they were facing. She just gently squeezed Lu Zhe's arm and said softly, "Lu Zhe..."
"Where are we..." A faint, delicate voice spoke up.
Suddenly, Lu Zhe, Ning Shu and Tang Xiaoguo realized what was happening and turned around together. They saw Lin Qianqian struggling to push herself off the ground and look at them weakly.
She was awake!
Very weak, but encouraging nonetheless!
"Wonderful, you're awake Qianqian!" Ning Shu rushed over to support Lin Qianqian's shoulders.
Lin Qianqian looked around, "Class president, Lu Zhe, Xiaoguo, I...where are we now?"
Lu Zhe sighed, "There was some trouble mid-flight. Unfortunately we crashed, but luckily, we all survived."
Recalling the terrifying scene in the cabin, Lin Qianqian's eyes revealed panic and helplessness, as if trapped in a nightmare.
Ning Shu felt it was time to change the subject!
"The rescue team will probably arrive soon!"
"Hopefully so!" Lu Zhe noticed Ning Shu's backpack, "There's stuff inside right? Take it out, we need to replenish our energy first."
Ning Shu gave a wry laugh and took off her bag, taking out the contents one by one.
Well now!
A female-oriented novel called "Master of Pleasing Her Husband", a 100ml bottle of Vaseline hand cream, a pack of high-end rubber bands, a pencil case, a diary, two packs of tissue, a set of keys, a whistle, an unopened pack of 7-day period pads...
Food?
There was some!
A can of Sugar-Free Werther's candy, 5 bags of spicy dried sausage sticks!
Lu Zhe picked up a bag of the dried sausage snacks:
"Fine I get the candy, but why'd you bring this stuff?"
Ning Shu sighed, "They don't allow chili sauce on planes! I was afraid I wouldn't like the in-flight meals, so I brought some spicy dried sausage."
"Hmm, someone really loves spicy food..."
Lu Zhe was extremely thirsty. He certainly couldn't eat spicy dried sausage!
Finally he spotted a 1L water bottle, but could only pour out two drops of water from it.
"I'm telling you, there's no water!"
Ning Shu shrugged her shoulders, "There was some before. Xiaoguo and I were just too thirsty, so we finished it all between us."
Great, no water left.
Just a bunch of useless stuff in this bag!
Lu Zhe understood that as modern college students, the first thing they'd think of in a disaster wasn't how to survive, but rather hoping the nation's rescuers would come save them!
By now the whole country must know about this. Not only their homeland but rescue teams from neighboring countries would be actively searching for them.
In theory it shouldn't take long before a rescue boat picks them up and they'd be drinking functional beverages while giving interviews to reporters.
But there are always exceptions!
What if help doesn't arrive?
"If the rescue team doesn't come in five hours, then we can happily die here!"
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King?

Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that?

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
