Many children, many blessings: Taking classmates' grandmothers on a desert island survival miss

The pharmacist pointed to the torrential rain outside and shook her head helplessly.

Everyone glanced outside and saw that it was pitch black, with raindrops hitting the ground and creating huge sprays of water.

In this primeval forest, going out at night to search for medicine is practically suicide.

Seeing Grandma Wang's rapid breathing and her lips gradually turning bluish-purple, everyone fell silent.

That was the feeling of despair, of being on the verge of death.

"I'll go."

Jiang Che suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

He looked at the dying grandmother and remembered how she had given him an orange earlier.

He couldn't just stand by and watch her die here.

"Grandma, what kind of herbs do you need? Tell me what they look like, and I'll go find them outside," Jiang Che said to the pharmacist grandma.

"Xiao Jiang, this won't do! It's too dangerous outside. The rain is so heavy that you can't see the road at all. If you encounter another monster that has respawned, you'll definitely die." The grandmothers all tried to dissuade him.

"If we don't go, Grandma Wang definitely won't be able to hold on," Jiang Che said firmly. "I have a [Dimensional Space]. As long as I see herbs, even if there's a whole patch of them, I can gather them instantly. Besides, I'm young and fast."

Jiang Che looked at the pharmacist grandmother.

The pharmacist hesitated for a moment, but at Jiang Che's insistence, she began to describe the characteristics of several common wild antipyretic herbs: the shape of the leaves, the color of the flowers, and the general environment in which they might grow.

"I'll go with you."

Just as Jiang Che was about to push open the door and leave, Liu Wenying stood up.

She had completely put away her earlier shyness, and her eyes had become cold and stern again.

She stretched her body, and the aura brought by her S-level combat talent made her look heroic and dashing.

"It's really too dangerous for you to go alone. You saw what happened to that wolf earlier; the monsters here are far stronger than we imagined. I have the best physical abilities, so with me here, I can at least guarantee your safety." Liu Wenying looked directly at Jiang Che.

Jiang Che thought about it and realized it was true. Although he had a system inventory, he lacked combat power.

If he encounters a monster, he can only passively take the hits.

With Liu Wenying by her side, the survival rate will be greatly improved.

"Okay, Grandma Liu, let's go," Jiang Che said, changing his mind.

Then, Jiang Che turned to the remaining grandmothers and gave them a few instructions: "Take good care of Grandma Wang here, and try to keep her warm. We'll be back soon."

Liu Wenying nodded to the group of old friends.

The two pushed open the wooden door. A strong wind rushed in, and Jiang Che and Liu Wenying braved the wind and rain to rush out of the safe house.

With a "thump," the wooden door closed again.

The rain outside instantly soaked their clothes.

Liu Wenying wiped the rain from her face, looked around at the pitch-black jungle, and turned to Jiang Che: "Which way?"

The forest was filled with trees and bushes that were all very similar. In this extreme weather, visibility was severely impaired.

Jiang Che shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I don't know either. Herbs are distributed randomly. We can only rely on luck now. I'll just pick a direction at random and we'll see. I don't know if we can find those herbs successfully."

Jiang Che raised his hand and pointed in a direction to the east of the safe house.

"Let's go take a look over there!"

Then, Jiang Che and Liu Wenying quickly disappeared into the depths of the dense, cold forest, running as fast as they could in that direction.

...

...

In the pitch-black primeval forest, the wind howled and the rain poured down like a waterfall.

Large raindrops pounded hard against the dense canopy of trees, making a deafening sound, and then pierced through the gaps in the branches and leaves, mercilessly pounding the ground.

The entire forest seemed to have turned into a huge swamp. With every step, shoes would sink deep into the slippery, sticky mud, requiring a great deal of effort to pull them out.

Jiang Che and Liu Wenying traversed the forest one after the other, struggling to discern their direction by the occasional flashes of faint lightning.

With her terrifying physical abilities granted by her S-level combat talent, Liu Wenying moved with ease in this harsh environment.

The mud that was enough to make anyone slip and fall had no effect on her.

Her breathing was steady and long, and even in the midst of a raging storm, her movements remained light and agile, as if she had inexhaustible strength.

However, Liu Wenying kept her pace slow throughout the journey, staying close to Jiang Che and maintaining a pace that kept pace with him.

She knew very well that Jiang Che was just an ordinary person. If she ran at full speed, Jiang Che would be left far behind in the blink of an eye.

"Did you find it?" Liu Wenying wiped the rain off her face and asked loudly.

Jiang Che squatted down in front of a clump of bushes, carefully examining the plants on the ground by the light of the lightning. He then shook his head in disappointment and shouted, "No! None of them are the herbs Grandma the apothecary described!"

The two got up and continued their search ahead.

As time went on, the rain not only did not subside, but instead became even heavier.

The gale, mixed with icy rain, seeped into their clothes and took away their body heat.

After running and searching for a distance at high intensity, the two not only failed to find the herbs they needed, but Jiang Che's physical condition also began to deteriorate rapidly.

As an ordinary college student, Jiang Che doesn't get much exercise.

Today, I not only experienced a bizarre journey through time, but also fought with wolves under extreme tension, and just now I frantically moved wood and stones to build a safe house.

Now, trudging through the cold, muddy, and torrential rain, his physical strength has been completely exhausted to the limit.

Jiang Che's steps grew heavier and heavier, as if his legs were filled with lead.

His breathing was rapid and heavy, like a bellows, and his lungs burned with pain; each breath felt like inhaling an ice scalpel.

My vision became somewhat blurred due to the rain and extreme fatigue.

Finally, in front of a mud puddle, Jiang Che stumbled and almost fell directly into the mud.

He quickly reached out and grabbed a tree trunk next to him, bent over, and gasped for breath, unable to move his legs any further.

Upon seeing this, Liu Wenying immediately stopped in her tracks.

She walked over to Jiang Che, looked at his panting and disheveled appearance, and felt her own still abundant energy. She couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Xiao Jiang, you're a bit weak. You're not even as healthy as an old man like me."

Liu Wenying chuckled lightly, her tone carrying a hint of lighthearted teasing.

Jiang Che leaned against the tree trunk, barely managing to lift his head. He glanced at Liu Wenying, who was standing beside him without even breathing, and felt a little helpless.

He realized that after Liu Wenying drank from the Fountain of Youth and her body became younger, not only did her appearance and physical strength return to that of an eighteen-year-old, but her mentality also seemed to have become much younger as well.

The kind and steady old lady from before now speaks like a lively young girl, full of energy and even joking around.

"I'm not weak... I have normal human stamina, okay? Who can compare to you, a freak with S-rank combat talent..."

Jiang Che gasped for breath and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

Looking at Jiang Che's pale face and trembling legs, Liu Wenying knew that he had indeed reached his limit.

If Jiang Che continues to force his way through the torrential rain, not only will he fail to find the medicinal herbs, but his own life will also be in danger.

At this moment, Liu Wenying's enhanced, sharp eyes swept across the surroundings, and her gaze suddenly stopped not far ahead.

She stretched out her fair finger and pointed in a direction ahead.

"Xiao Jiang, there's a huge tree hollow over there. It looks quite deep, perfect for sheltering from the rain. Let's go rest there for a bit."
