Even After My Death-Chapter 106 - 91: Is Jiang Ning’s Skill for Real! (Long - )

Chapter 106: Chapter 91: Is Jiang Ning’s Skill for Real! (Long Chapter)

The grass was a verdant green, so lush it seemed on the verge of dripping with color. Old trees stood haphazardly, their trunks straight and thick, while the dense foliage blocked the sky, as specks of sunlight pierced through the layers of leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

Jiang Ning and Nong Chun stepped onto the shadows, silently entering the desolate wilderness forest.

Before they left the boat, the show’s crew had given each guest a map, and Nong Chun also had one in his hands.

Just after seeing Jiang Ning take out the map to examine it closely, Nong Chun also pulled out the map the crew had provided from his backpack.

Before entering the forest, Nong Chun had felt the show crew was quite attentive, the paper meticulously marking the direction to each supply pack, the location of each river, and the map to the safe house.

He had felt confident before setting out, but as soon as he stepped into the forest, with wild grasses and towering trees everywhere, he couldn’t even distinguish directions, let alone search for a route.

However, Jiang Ning walking in front of him appeared unfazed, moving with firm steps and a clear sense of purpose, neatly avoiding some of the obstructive plants, and even though the path ahead was winding, she remained methodical and showed no sign of confusion.

Nong Chun hailed from a barren desert region, and in over twenty years, he had never set foot in such a wilderness forest. Soon, he was panting for breath, but Jiang Ning still strolled casually as if the most difficult terrain under her feet became flat.

However, noticing Nong Chun sweating profusely, Jiang Ning kindly slowed her pace.

On the map, the distance may seem short, barely the span of a finger, but when one actually has to traverse on foot, the path’s true length is revealed, especially through the rugged wilderness forest.

Nong Chun thought they had walked for a long time, but upon checking his wristwatch, he found it had been less than an hour since they entered the forest.

Jiang Ning, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped, "Seems like we’re almost there."

"Hmm?" Following close behind, Nong Chun also halted abruptly, looking around.

In the quiet wilderness, the occasional unknown birdsong and the sound of insects could be heard.

Jiang Ning listened carefully and started heading toward the left.

Before long, a clear, babbling mountain stream appeared before the two of them.

[So quickly resolved the water resource issue]

[Jiang Ning is really amazing! Just by looking at the map and she found it, without taking any extra wrong turns]

[Jiang Ning’s sense of direction is too strong. If it were me, even with a map, I’d definitely get lost]

[Let me put it this way. I’ve been glued to the computer for almost an hour, watching as she and Nong Chun made their way here. But if I were at the water source and had to make my way out alone following the path they came by, I would surely get lost]

Seeing the spring water brightened Nong Chun’s eyes and he immediately wanted to step forward and wash his hands.

He had only three bottles of water. He drank one, shared another with Jiang Ning, used half a bottle to cook seafood that morning, and the remaining half was finished on their way into the forest. He was just worrying about having no water left to drink. This mountain brook, although outdoor water, was pure freshwater and could be collected in a mineral water bottle, sterilized at high temperature, and then it could be consumed like boiled water.

"Wait!" Jiang Ning’s urgent voice rang out. Before Nong Chun could react, he saw a bright flash swoop past his eyes!

[Damn! What just happened!]

[Did just now...? What did Jiang Ning throw? Am I seeing things!]

[Did I just see Jiang Ning tossing that survival knife out of her hand!]

A close-up shot revealed, hidden beneath the wild grass a half-step away from Nong Chun, a sharp dagger pinning a small snake firmly to the ground.

The snake, no thicker than a finger, covered in red stripes, writhed continuously after being impaled, a sight so visually striking it sent shivers down the spines of viewers through their screens.

[My God! A snake!]

[Ahhhh, I’m terrified of snakes!]

[Damn, that scared me so much I almost threw my phone away!]

[Why didn’t the production team pixelate it!]

[Those stripes are so red! Ahh, and the snake is still wriggling and coiling non-stop, so horrifying!!]

[Baka baka baka baka...]

[Jiang Ning’s action just now was so cool]

[Jiang Ning has sharp eyes, Nong Chun was about to step on it and didn’t even notice]

[What? Are you kidding me? How can she just casually throw and hit the snake? Did the production team give Jiang Ning an advantage by tweaking her body data behind the scenes? Could a normal person do that?]

[Backend data tweaking is not impossible. After all, they are in virtual reality. Changing the contestants’ body data is like adjusting a video game character’s stats, just add more sensitivity points]

[Ah? Dammit, no wonder Jiang Ning could pin down Mu Mingxuan to the ground...]

[Hey, hey, hey? Don’t just make things up, okay? How can Jiang Ning, an amateur, buy off the production team? If they could be bought off, Mu Mingxuan, the young master of the Mu Family, wouldn’t have been thrashed so badly]

[Someone knowledgeable, please chip in: The way Jiang Ning acted just now, swift and powerful, she looks like she’s trained]

[Right! Just her motion and reaction when she threw the survival knife, I surely couldn’t do it!]

After looking down, Nong Chun also saw the scene. His legs went weak with fright, and he suddenly stepped back several paces, turning pale, "Thank... Thank you!"

Even though he didn’t recognize what kind of snake it was, the vivid color alone told him it must be highly venomous!

If Jiang Ning hadn’t called out to him just now, the ground where the little snake was would have been his next step, and a bite from such a venomous snake in this desolate wilderness... The consequences would be unimaginable!

Without hesitation, it could be said that Jiang Ning’s intervention directly saved his life!

Nong Chun moved closer to Jiang Ning, feeling a chill of fear.

Although the program group considered various aspects when selecting guests, appearance was one of them. Even though this wasn’t an idol show, the participants would still be on camera, and those who were good-looking and outstanding in appearance were more likely to attract the viewers’ attention.

The viewers watched as Nong Chun, who was fair-skinned, with fine eyebrows and handsome features, and taller than Jiang Ning, took shelter behind Jiang Ning like seeking protection. Although they shouldn’t, the viewers found the scene somewhat comical.

[The cold-blooded assassin’s little tender husband?]

[Don’t say it, really, don’t say it]

The venomous snake, pierced by the sharp edge of the knife, was still writhing madly. Jiang Ning stepped forward, her expression unchanged, and stomped on most of the snake’s body, then bent down and pulled her Survival Knife out of the ground.

The chat, which had just relaxed a bit, exploded with horror again:

[Damn! Damn!]

[Ahhh program group are you crazy! Showing this scene in such detail!]

[Jiang Ning is really TM ruthless! Just stepped on it directly!]

[Not just stepped on it... She also applied force under her foot, rolling it several times over the body of the snake...]

[6, she rolled that venomous snake into a lump of meat]

[Her psychological endurance is really incredible, if it were me, I wouldn’t even want that Survival Knife anymore]

Nong Chun, who saw Jiang Ning’s actions up close, was the one who suffered the greatest shock.

As a boy, he was also afraid of snakes.

The sight of the snake pinned to the ground by the Survival Knife had made him too afraid to look more than once.

Had it been him asked to retrieve the Survival Knife, he would not have dared to step forward to get it.

[Hahaha, look at Nong Chun’s expression]

[Nong Chun: aggrieved.jpg]

[Nong Chun: want to cry.jpg]

[Nong Chun: hug a desperate self.jpg]

Nong Chun stood in place, eagerly watching as Jiang Ning pulled out the Survival Knife and casually wiped the blade on a patch of wild grass nearby.

As Jiang Ning went to wash her hands by the creek, Nong Chun finally dared to slowly move and squatted beside Jiang Ning.

[Hahaha, he really looks like an obedient and well-behaved little wife, I’m dying of laughter]

The main reason Jiang Ning and Nong Chun entered the forest this time was to find a water source. Because a day and a night had passed, the water they carried was nearly gone.

Since they set out with a purpose, neither came empty-handed; both carried backpacks.

Nong Chun’s backpack contained two partially consumed bottles of mineral water, while Jiang Ning’s backpack had a bottle of mineral water, a thermos, and a metal water bottle.

After washing their hands, they filled up all the bottles with water.

Looking at the small stream in the mountains, Nong Chun felt a tinge of regret; if only they could have more bottles. He had followed Jiang Ning all this way, only to end up with just two jin of water.

Jiang Ning was unaware of Nong Chun’s thoughts. At the moment, she was intently staring downstream at the brook.

The audience in front of the screen grew curious:

[?]

[What’s Jiang Ning doing?]

[What is she looking at?]

The camera zoomed out. About ten meters away, a robust rooster, proud and preening its shiny feathers by the edge of the stream, appeared in view.

[Hmm? A chicken? Is that a Pheasant or a wild chicken?]

[...It must be a domestic chicken released by the program group beforehand]

[From her look, isn’t Jiang Ning thinking about eating the chicken?] fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

[I’m dying of laughter, this is the wilderness; catching chickens is difficult, she can’t run faster than a chicken, chickens can fly!]

[Seeing this chicken reminds me of the nightmare of catching chickens when I went back to my hometown during the holidays. My mom asked me to catch a chicken, even though it was just confined within the fence, I was running around and couldn’t catch it, with feathers flying everywhere!]

[She can’t possibly think that because she effortlessly took down a snake, she could catch a chicken in the same way, right?]
