Chapter 769 - 769: Mission Completed



Dan broke a few hard wooden sticks and distributed them to everyone to dig for cassava.

Because there were no suitable tools, they could only use wooden sticks to dig bit by bit. Fortunately, there was strength in numbers. Soon, the relatively large cassava roots buried underground were dug out.

Sharon gently patted the soil on the cassava, blew off the soil on it, and placed it aside.

Among the cassavas dug out, a few were especially big, like big sweet potatoes. There were also some that were relatively small, so Sharon didn’t dig them up so that they could continue to grow.

Nature had given humans a lot of resources, and humans should not take it for granted that Nature’s resources were inexhaustible. Moreover, there were still some left. If there was a lack of food in the future, they could dig again.

Sharon and the others soaked the cassava they had dug up in a stream in the mountains. The roots of the cassava were poisonous, but after soaking them for two to three days, they could be roasted and eaten.

Walking in the forest, it was inevitable that they would be scratched or receive abrasion from tree branches. Moreover, there would be some bumps on her body from the bites of the little bugs. At first, they felt very uncomfortable, but later on, everyone slowly got used to it. Sharon felt that her endurance had increased in Man vs. Wild.

Melissa would always complain here and there, but seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she did not say anything else to annoy them.

“Let’s continue searching,” Sharon said.

Time was tight. They still had to work hard to complete the next mission.

They walked for about two hours on the nearby mountain.

Dan stopped in front of a tall tree. Everyone followed behind and realized that it was a wild olive tree. There were fruits on the tree.

Shane and Dan picked some fruits while the girls were in charge of washing the fruits in the nearby stream.

Sharon took a bite and realized that it was a little bitter, but she could slowly feel the slight sweetness.

“Last time, Dan, you ate the small bitter fruit first and felt that it was especially sweet after eating nectar. You said that it was bitter before sweet. It’s the same when you eat this wild olive today. It feels like sweetness after suffering,” Sharon said to Dan with a smile.

“That’s right. Moreover, I feel that everything I eat is especially fragrant these days when I’m in the wilderness,” Dan said as he chewed on the olive.

“We’re one step closer to completing the mission!” Melinda said excitedly.

Time passed quickly without them realizing it. It was almost evening, and they were only one step away from completing the mission.

rWilight gradually enveloped the forest. Everyone was a little tired after walking for a day. Coupled with the fact that they were still short of completing their mission, they were a little anxious.

“It’s going to be dark soon. I wonder if we can complete the mission.” Even the usually optimistic Dan was a little depressed.

“It’s not time yet. We can’t give up until the last moment.” Sharon felt that if they were not at the last moment, it was not the time to give up.

“I’m exhausted. I’m not walking anymore.” Melissa sat on the ground that was covered in fallen leaves and did not plan on continuing the search.

“Why don’t we rest for a while and eat something before continuing our search?” Melinda suggested.

“It’s getting dark. We have to eat quickly,” Shane reminded.

“What other food do we have now?” Sharon asked.

“The wild persimmons are still relatively astringent. The cassava roots haven’t been soaked yet, and the nectar has already been eaten. There are still small bitter fruits and wild olive fruits that we can eat,” Dan said.

Sharon and Dan distributed some food to everyone. After everyone finished eating, they still had to continue completing the mission and search for the last food.

Just as everyone was searching aimlessly and felt that there was no hope of completing the mission, Shane suddenly discovered a wild guava tree.

Although wild guavas were relatively small and had yet to mature, they had finally completed the mission. Everyone felt that their day’s hard work had not been in vain.

After an exhausting and fulfilling day, the mission was finally completed. They had managed to find six plants that could be used as food— the little bitter fruit, flower nectar, wild persimmons, olive fruit, cassava and guava.

Although there was no meat to eat today and they could not replenish their protein, fortunately, they were not hungry. Everyone returned to their tents tiredly and prepared to have a good sleep..
