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!"
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

"Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers!

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
e vast world of cultivation, where he becomes the master of the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Hall, a dying old man with barely a tenth of his former cultivation remaining. He is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second? That’s six hundred thousand years a minute, and in one day… I can’t even calculate it. Either way, I’m already invincible!” You’re a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re an undying ancestor who has guarded a sacred land for countless ages? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re the strongest chosen one, blessed with heaven-defying destiny? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”
