That's weird......

Bai Luo Yin scanned the area, wherever he looked, was untamed nature. Water moss spread all over the place, resembling a piece of carpet. Whereas the surroundings were all low-lying swamp, he had landed on a piece of highland. From the look of it, the judgement he made while still on the plane was not wrong after all. Furthermore, his luck had allowed him to land on a firm ground in the middle of these deadly swamps.

Bai Luo Yin lowered his head only to see that not only was his pilot suit still intact, it was also in a pretty good condition. Surprisingly, he did not receive any injuries either.

Seems like my life is not meant to end yet.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Luo Yin stood up and evaluated the landscape. From his experiences in the numerous wilderness survival training, he quickly calculated that aside from this piece of solid land beneath his feet, the surrounding area was besieged by dangerous swamp that could not be stepped on. To verify his deduction, Bai Luo Yin broke several branches from the tree behind him, joined them together and poked at a point not far away from his location. After poking around several times, there were apparently no hard ground that could be felt.

Bai Luo Yin was dumbstruck, how the fuck am I supposed to get out of here?

A moment ago, he was still deeply moved by God's favoritism toward him, but at this instant, he realized that he is in fact God's puppet. From the look of it, God's favorite game is to offer him a piece of cake first before giving him a huge slap in the face! Bai Luo Yin impetuously walked around the huge tree once. The longer he looked at the circle he drew, the more he felt like it resembled the face of a watch, silently counting the time that separated him from death.

Trying not to get frustrated, Bai Luo Yin sat heavily on the ground. Now, he could only wait to be rescued.

Perhaps he was too exhausted since the moment he sat down, he immediately fell asleep. Later, the cold assailing him brought him back to awareness with a jolt. After he woke up, he discovered that the sky was already blanketed by a dark layer of dense fog that rose ominously above the surroundings, making it felt like a warning sign in a horror movie right before a haunting would occur. However, Bai Luo Yin was not afraid at all. Instead, he wished for a ghost would emerge and ferry him away from this place.

Feeling that his lips were slightly dry, Bai Luo Yin looked around. Although, there were no shortage of water in the swamps, sadly it poisonous and impossible to consume. As a result, with an unwaveringly determination, he started to dig holes around the tree roots. After having dug for about three hours, he could sense the soil moistening. With that, Bai Luo Yin took off his shirt, wrapped it around the damped soil and wrung it tightly until water came out. In no time, he collected half a helmet of water.

After several big gulps of water, Bai Luo Yin wiped his mouth clean and continued to lean against the tree trunk to rest.

Just as Bai Luo Yin narrowed his sleepy eyes into the empty night, he suddenly noticed a ray of red light flashing repeatedly. It was clearly an airplane. Rescue is here!! Bai Luo Yin stood up with excitement and incessantly shouted toward the sky. He had even tied the parachute rope to the tree branches, turning into a flag before madly waving it around nonstop.

During the entire time, that beam of bright light merely hovered around at a low altitude but never approached his area.

Bai Luo Yin was also fully aware that the chances of being discovered were tremendously low. Also, since they had already scanned this area, who knows if they would come a second time...but even knowing this, he was unwilling to give up hope. Consequently, he found two pieces of stone and started to stroke them sharply together several times with all his might. Sparks of flame had been ignited, but the plants around him was simply too wet which made it impossible to light a fire. The only dry object in his possession was the flying suit he was currently wearing. But what if after it was burnt and the rescue team did not come, wouldn't he freeze to death?!
