Shen Bing believed that this should have been a task without any surprises.
Because no matter how crazy the criminals were, they wouldn't be crazy enough to blow up a plane.
The Australian police were waiting at the airport for the handover. Once she got off the plane, the mission would be basically completed.
Maybe she could even take the time while waiting for the return flight to visit the nearby outlet stores and help her colleagues with some luxury shopping.
However, little did she expect that the other party's madness would exceed her imagination.
There was an incident halfway through the flight, and she was thrown out of the plane, ending up stranded on a deserted island.
Fortunately, she was caught by some branches and didn't die!
And along with her, there were also some supplies from the cabin.
Drinks, snacks, and a cellphone.
She dialed a number but couldn't get through at all.
Initially, she thought that with the scattered items and the survival knowledge she learned at the police academy, she could definitely hold on until the rescue team arrived on the island.
But when faced with everything, she realized that it wasn't that easy at all.
She spent the first night in loneliness and fear.
On the second night, as she watched the battery on her cellphone dwindling, she decided to do something meaningful.
She used the cellphone battery and the foil from a chocolate bar to start a fire and then made a simple campsite.
This also meant that she lost the last means of communication with the outside world.
That night, she began to have random thoughts.
She thought about her parents back home, the innocent people on the plane, and the few colleagues who were on the mission with her.
She cried for a long time!
After crying, she made up her mind to survive with all her efforts.
On the third day, the fresh water ran out, and there was hardly any food left. She threw a few empty bottles into the sea.
Then she started knocking on coconuts!
After four hours of effort, she managed to open one coconut, but she only got a few sips of water!
This kind of despair is something you won't understand unless you experience it firsthand.
With no food to eat, she had to search in the jungle. It was then that she realized that the survival theories she had learned were completely useless here.
Real plants are sometimes similar and sometimes different from the pictures in books.
She had to rely on her impressions to find edible plants and then cook them.
On the fifth day, faced with loneliness, fear, thirst, and hunger, she began to despair!
Truly despair!
Don't think that real wilderness survival is a fun thing!
Of course, if you're doing it for some kind of challenge and can imagine lying in bed in the near future, eating roast duck, drinking red wine, and counting your reward money, you might be able to persevere!
But if there's really no one else, and the whole world believes you're already dead, no one will come looking for you!
The next ten or twenty years, even a lifetime, will be spent in this endless loneliness and despair!
Then you will understand how painful it is to be alive!
She hoped that someone could accompany her and say a few words to her!
Even if it was a murderer!
But there was no one!
All that accompanied her were loneliness and fear.
She thought about suicide!
However, as one of the team members on the mission, her responsibility was to communicate with the crew members, unlike her colleagues who were all equipped with handguns.
So, she hung her belt on a tree branch and put it around her neck.
But in the end, she gave up because she discovered a type of mushroom!
She recognized the mushrooms!
Poisonous and hallucinogenic!
Perhaps, by eating them, she could forget the troubles in front of her!
Perhaps, she could die happily!
Or perhaps, even as she neared death, she could see her family and friends!
And so, she consumed those mushrooms!
Then, it seemed like she had entered a dream!
She dreamt of returning to her childhood!
Innocent, naive, carefree!
She played in the woods!
On her last visit to the forest, she encountered a massive python!
Her leg was injured, and she couldn't run. She could only cry out for her parents!
In the depths of despair, a miracle happened!
Her father descended from the sky, carrying an axe, and chopped away the snake. Then her mother and sister rescued her...
She woke up in a daze, only to find herself lying on a large bed with red "happiness" characters written on the bedsheets!
Could it be...
That everything that happened before was just a dream?
Or perhaps...
Am I still in a dream now?
Then, she noticed that there was a man sleeping next to her!
She couldn't see his face clearly, but she had a vague feeling that he was handsome!
Who is this?
My man?
I don't remember getting married!
Suddenly, she felt her breath quicken, and she had the urge to embrace that man...
Since it's a dream, and he's my man, why bother about so much!
...
At the same time, Lu Zhe was also dreaming!
Yes, he was just a normal guy. It was really strange that he didn't have any reaction after experiencing so much in a day!
In a daze, it seemed like a girl was throwing herself at him!
"Guo'er, don't be like this..."
...
The sky was getting brighter, and Lu Zhe opened his eyes!
The first thing he said upon waking up was, "Damn, did I really sleep with Guo'er!"
Then, he saw who was in front of him!
His scalp exploded!
At the same time, Shen Bing was also awakened, and she opened her eyes!
In an instant, both of them were dumbfounded and instinctively pushed each other away!
Shen Bing looked around, her eyes filled with confusion!
Lu Zhe rubbed his head. "Damn it, what's going on!"
Shen Bing lowered her head, noticing that the banana leaves she had wrapped around herself had fallen apart. She quickly wrapped them tightly around her and hugged her chest!
"What the hell is happening?"
Her head felt like it was splitting, and she couldn't distinguish between what was a dream and what was real!
She desperately slapped her own face, feeling the hot, burning pain!
"What should we do..."
She grabbed her head, feeling like it was about to explode!
Lu Zhe rubbed his head. "What the hell is this!"
"I saved you, you know!"
"You... you're that college student?"
"Damn it, sis, you finally remembered!"
Just then, a girl's voice came from outside. "Wow, it's so beautiful! Little Zhe ge will definitely like it!"
"Hmph, after working all night, if he doesn't like me, I'll twist him until he does!"
Both of them were curious, so they pushed aside the leaves and looked outside!
The campsite had been cleaned up spotlessly, clothes were dried and rid of salt stains. Jiang Yao was neatly folding them one by one.
There were stone and twig fences surrounding the area, adorned with colorful purple irises.
Even the firewood next to the bonfire was neatly stacked.
The originally simple campsite, with this decoration, had a touch of fairy tale-like colors.
Shen Bing walked out, filled with confusion.
"Who are you all?"
Several girls put down what they were doing and curiously looked over.
"Has she... woken up?"
"She won't call me 'mom' anymore, right?"
Shen Bing rubbed her forehead as the chaotic scenes played out in her mind.
"I..."
Ning Shu walked over.
"Hey, hey, do you remember us?"
Jiang Yao said, "We were all first-class cabin passengers!"
Lin Qianqian said, "Speaking of which, we have to thank you for upgrading our cabins!"
Tang Xiaoguo also said, "But we also saved your life!"
"You... are the five college students who got switched to another flight!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Dear heavens, give me a moment..."
Shen Bing crouched down and gently rubbed her temples.
In an instant, countless fragments of information connected in her mind!
Finally, they formed a complete and continuous picture!
"You saved me..."
Tang Xiaoguo proudly said, "Yes!"
Ning Shu said, "We were stranded on another island, but that island had scarce resources. We received your message in a drifting bottle and came to this island. We saw you almost being eaten by a giant snake, so we saved you!"
Shen Bing let out a breath and an indescribable mix of emotions surged up in her heart.
At that moment, she really wanted to cry her heart out!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
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)

Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
