Newborn Calves Are Not Afraid Of Tigers

"Ignore him."

Cen Yi pulled a long face and pushed the electric bike over. He passed it to Qiao Lingxiang and turned around to glance at Lu Zhengqing. Then he said to Qiao Lingxiang, "Let's all ignore him."

He asked her again, "Do you know how to ride?"

Qiao Lingxiang nodded. She held onto the electric bike handle and sat on it clumsily. She tried to ride it. Everyone looked at her and thought she didn't seem to know how to ride.

However, she rode pretty well. Although she couldn't perform any electric bike stunts, she rode straight and didn't zigzag.

Cen Yi and his friends heaved a sigh of relief when they saw her riding skills. They turned and went to pick up their electric bikes. Then they chatted with Lu Zhengqing's father for a while. Lu Zhengqing's father sat in his pick-up truck and smiled happily as he waved at them.

"Alright, hope you have a pleasant journey."

He assumed Lu Zhengqing was just going out to play on his bike. He didn't think that a few kids would be able to find any energy stones.

Very few teams went out to search for energy stones now. At the end of last year, when the chief commander of the central command system said that the apocalypse was coming and energy was drying up, many departments were still nervous even though most people scolded him for making a fuss over nothing. The quest center was quickly established and everyone surged out of the city to look for energy stones.

Half a year passed. Many civilian teams returned empty-handed. It was like mining for gold. Many people went to look for gold but only a few managed to get any.

Those few individuals, after half a year of searching, had already made a lot of money.

Nobody—including Lu Zhengqing's father, Cen Yi's grandparents, as well as Zhao Long and Ah Jiu's families—thought they could find any energy stones.

They just viewed this as a chance for their children to train and widen their horizons. Aside from Qiao Lingxiang, the other four young men's family circumstances weren't too bad.

They didn't lack energy coupons.

So, even Cen Yi and his friends didn't have much hope.

Thus, these few youngsters who were just entering adulthood rode on their electric bikes along with one fat young lady and headed in the direction of the Cold Snake Tower.

Xiang City was an ancient city but it managed to combine the ancient and modern perfectly. There were entrances to highways all around the city.

Although there weren't any cars speeding on the highways now, to be safe, Lu Zhengqing still used the main roads. There were absolutely no private cars on the main roads. Although these children were going out to look for energy stones, they were all very relaxed. The young didn't know fear. They rode their bikes and chatted loudly along the journey.

Along the way, everyone had fun and rode for a few hours. Suddenly, with a "bang", Lu Zhengqing's tire dropped…

He skidded a long distance forward with one wheel and fell into a ridge at the side of the road. He shouted loudly, "Ah, oh my god!"

Qiao Lingxiang and her friends hurriedly stopped their bikes and went over to take a look. Cen Yi was the first to toss aside his electric bike. He ran to the ridge to find Lu Zhengqing.

Lu Zhengqing was clutching his leg as he lay beside the road and screamed in agony.

It looked like he was badly injured.

Qiao Lingxiang parked her bike beside the guardrails of the road and turned around. She confirmed there were no cars behind them. Then she brought her survival backpack and went down to the ridge without any worries.

She took out an outdoor flashlight that had a long battery life. It seemed small but she could pull out a long rubber band from the flashlight. She put the flashlight on her head directly.

After she placed the flashlight on her head, she inspected Lu Zhengqing's body calmly. His leg seemed to be the most hurt.

Qiao Lingxiang quickly took out a pair of scissors from her backpack and signaled to Zhao Long who was beside her. She asked him to look for a branch of a certain length as well as some ropes.

After she gave her order to Zhao Long, she cut Lu Zhengqing's pants and heaved a sigh of relief.

She said, "It's alright. There's no external injury. We can go to a hospital in the nearest town to have you checked up. If you can't manage it, we will return to Xiang City."

As she spoke, she touched Lu Zhengqing's calf. There was a purple-red patch. Lu Zhengqing screamed in pain.

"My bones are broken, right? Are they broken? It hurts; don't touch it, don't touch it."

Qiao Lingxiang wanted to retract her hand but she suddenly felt a warm wave in her body congregating on her palm.

She remained silent. She felt the tips of her fingers burning.

Then she heard Lu Zhengqing's screams gradually subsiding. Qiao Lingxiang quickly retracted her hand. Her heart was palpitating quickly and her face was red.

She seemed to have discovered something incredible. She was afraid that the others would notice.

"I think I'm fine. I don't need to see a doctor in town."

Lu Zhengqing wiped the sweat off his forehead and lay comfortably in Cen Yi's arms.

He continued, "It hurt a lot when I fell but it's much better now."

The others heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. Then Cen Yi tossed Lu Zhengqing on the grass beside him and said coldly, "Didn't you say that we could ride for eight hours? One of the wheels fell off and we have one man down. How are we supposed to go to the tower now?"

Lu Zhengqing screamed in agony again. But this time, it sounded as though he did it on purpose. He turned and hugged Cen Yi as he pretended to cry.

"Brother Cen, you must be responsible for me. You can't abandon me~~"

Ah Jiu started to chuckle when he saw that Lu Zhengqing was still able to joke around. He turned and looked at Qiao Lingxiang who was packing her backpack.

He asked, "Why did you bring all these things? You even brought scissors and a flashlight. How are you so thorough?"

Cen Yi and Lu Zhengqing, who were fighting on the grass, stopped immediately and looked at Qiao Lingxiang.

Qiao Lingxiang explained to them.

"When I was young, my parents didn't have the time to take care of me so they sent me to summer camp. Once, I registered for the wrong camp and got sent to the extreme survival camp. The instructors there were poor and it was difficult for them to register attendees so since I didn't kick up a fuss, they kept me."

"No wonder you said you knew the basics of extreme wilderness survival."

Cen Yi kneeled beside Lu Zhengqing and looked at Qiao Lingxiang. Qiao Lingxiang nodded and started packing her things. He got up and stood behind Lu Zhengqing. Then, he put his arms below Lu Zhengqing's armpit and dragged Lu Zhengqing onto the side of the road.

After some time, Zhao Long came back with two branches in his hand.

He panted furiously and said, "We're in the middle of nowhere. I couldn't find any ropes."

He placed the branches beside Lu Zhengqing's calf. Then he stood up and ran in front of Qiao Lingxiang. He started unbuckling his belt in front of her. As he unbuckled, he said hurriedly, "Why don't you use my belt? We can make do with it. All of you are wearing tracksuits. I'm the only one wearing pants. Looks like I was quite smart."
