Infinite Ebullience
Chapter 92 - 92 5 Various Problems

92: Chapter 5 Various Problems 92: Chapter 5 Various Problems Time is pressing, with only a few minutes left before the landing.

Tang Zheng had to seize every second to observe the terrain of the entire Death Island.

The island was rectangular, scattered with some reefs around.

Though he couldn’t estimate its size, it was quite large at first glance, and the terrain was not flat either.

There were numerous cliff gorges washed out by the heavy rain.

Seeing the verdant rainforest vegetation covering the entire island, Tang Zheng felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, as this lush rainforest scene also signified unpredictable dangers.

As they looked down at Death Island from the air, the participant gamers wore solemn expressions, everyone sensed a strong smell of death.

Not only would they have to face enemies, but the environment was also equally terrible.

Tang Zheng had wanted to land on the beach, so he wouldn’t have to worry about being attacked from both sides.

But unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned.

He didn’t know how to use a parachute and could only let the wind carry him down wherever it wished.

Thus, a gust from the sea carried him into the forest.

However, he was lucky—it had veered him less than a thousand meters from the beach.

“That feeling of not being able to control your own destiny really fucking sucks.” Tang Zheng was in a bad mood, but after spouting a swear word, he tried to adjust.

Having a good mindset was crucial at such times; he didn’t want to be swayed by negative emotions that could affect his judgment.

“Where are the people?

Where are the landing spots?” Tang Zheng muttered to himself, scouring a 180-degree range in front of him, attempting to predict where everyone else would land, and hoping to spot Lin Weiguo and his group.

Unfortunately, he saw nothing.

His vision was fine, but he didn’t have time.

His descent was fast enough to prevent him from being distracted.

In the air, Tang Zheng, parachuting for the first time, had no way of determining exactly when he would land.

He shifted his gaze for just a moment, and when he looked down again, the treetops of the forest were already within inches of him.

Before he could even prepare to land, he and his parachute crashed into the dense forest.

Tang Zheng covered his head with his arms, trying to protect his head and cheeks.

The tree trunks and branches hitting his body were painful, breaking many of them.

With a thump, Tang Zheng’s body jerked, finally ceasing to fall further.

However, he was surrounded by the rustling sound of falling leaves, and birds of various species flapped their wings, flitting out of the forest.

“Safe now.” Tang Zheng sighed deeply, wanting to check where the other players had landed for his first action.

But the dense treetops blotted out the sky, giving him no chance at all, “But it doesn’t matter.

At least the first step of landing on the island went perfectly.”

Tang Zheng did a quick check of his body, he wasn’t injured, and the Space Backpack remained securely on his back.

That was the best start; at least he wasn’t behind at the starting point.

If someone happened to break a leg when they landed, they wouldn’t even need to fight; it would be better to just concede defeat.

Left hanging three meters above the ground, Tang Zheng observed his surroundings.

Although he didn’t see any dangerous animals, the hot and humid temperature had already made him somewhat sweaty.

This realization sent a chill down his spine; finding a water source to replenish fluids will be the first problem every participant gamer will face.

Looking at the ground beneath him, the soft soil covered with fallen leaves and branches reassured Tang Zheng considerably.

He drew his untouched straight knife from its case on his right leg and cut the parachute ropes.

With a thud, Tang Zheng landed on the ground, cushioning the impact with a roll.

He dusted off the mud and decayed leaves stuck to his body.

Recalling the direction he noted from the sky, Tang Zheng prepared to head towards the beach to establish an initial settlement point.

He also worried about the safety of Li Xinlan and others, but rashly racing into the forest would only increase his own danger.

Therefore, Tang Zheng suppressed his impulses and began to move methodically again.

“There’s a lot to do, familiarize quickly with the environment, ensure local area safety, find food and water sources, find a safe place to sleep, set traps, fend off wild beasts and enemies…” Tang Zheng silently recited the preparatory work he should do, to remember it more clearly.

He was very aware that he couldn’t complete the mission in twenty-five hours.

The record holder only needed to collect eight Totem Seals, and only one person had managed to do this in the past ten killing games.

From this analysis, Tang Zheng understood this mission would be a long battle.

“Could this be the reason why Silver Trojan didn’t set a time limit for the mission?” Tang Zheng muttered to himself.

He regretted not setting a specific rendezvous point for Qin Yan and Bai Guo.

However, he was not too disappointed.

If someone in the cabin had heard him speaking aloud, they might have arrived at the meeting point ahead of time and set a trap, a case of outsmarting oneself.

Tang Zheng began to carefully traverse the forest, but he still couldn’t help worrying about the others.

Who could have expected that this survival game would start by separating everyone?

He was not concerned about Lin Weiguo, who was a former Sword of Nanguo; this type of environment should be good for him.

The stewardesses were the real headache.

Time was too tight, Tang Zheng didn’t ask what abilities they each had obtained.

Li Xinlan and Qin Yan were the least of his concerns, at least they had exchanged some props.

But Bai Guo, Pang Meiqin, and Zhou Zhou were no different from the newbie, speaking of newbies, Tang Zheng thought of the five people who first entered the room, it looks like they have more bad luck than good this time.

The only consolation was that everyone listened to him and brought outdoor survival equipment.

At least they wouldn’t have to worry about food and water for a few days; this was an advantage over other participant gamers.

“But who are the other participants?

Phew, it’s truly frustrating.” He shook his head to get rid of these thoughts, so he could focus on considering how to complete the mission in the most relaxed and quickest way.

For now, he could only take it one step at a time.

Tang Zheng’s luck held out, his sense of direction was quite good.

Approximately half an hour later, he finally walked out of the dense forest and saw the beach, which eased his tense nerves.

The exhaustion of careful walking was not only physical, but mental as well.

He took out his cell phone and looked at the time—it was just past one in the morning.

Tang Zheng was stunned, then realized he had to estimate the time by the position of the sun in the sky.

He stuck the straight knife into the ground, observed its shadow, and noticed that the sun was just above his head, slightly to the east.

Noting the intense sunlight, Tang Zheng estimated that it was around eleven in the morning.

He knew that this estimation was not accurate, but it wasn’t a problem.

In two days, he could roughly determine the time by comparing it.

Tang Zheng sat down against an unnoticeable coconut tree.

He opened the Space Backpack, took out a bottle of mineral water to replenish his fluids, and ate two pieces of high-calorie chocolate.

Only then did he remove the white waist bag—he needed to know what weapons the general man gave to the participating gamers.
