Chapter 254 Using Strength to Win Her Heart (Large Chapter, Please Subscribe)_2
Zhang Jingdong glanced at the distant mountains: "Of course not, before I was 6, not only was I not confident, but I also felt very inferior."
"Don't even mention facing difficulties, back then I was afraid to play with the neighbor's kids, and I didn't dare to stay at home alone."
"Until one day my grandfather told me something, he said the source of the Yangtze River is actually just a tiny puddle, and every drop of water in it represents a child."
"They travel thousands of miles, encounter countless bumps and hurdles along the way, have innumerable reasons to stop, but still they tenaciously overcome all the dangers, and finally succeed in reaching the ocean."
"Do you think you are smaller than a tiny drop of water? If it can overcome so many obstacles, can't you? Are you even inferior to a tiny drop of water?"
At this point, Zhang Jingdong turned to look at Liang Feng: "Since then, I gradually became the person I am now."
A flicker of admiration crossed Liang Feng's eyes: "Your grandfather taught you how to face difficulties, didn't he teach you how to be a good man, too?"
Zhang Jingdong laughed: "My grandfather did teach me about women, but what he told me then was, to live a life worth living, you either need to earn more money or become a high-ranking official, then marry eight or ten beautiful wives and have a dozen or twenty children."
Liang Feng couldn't help but laugh and scold: "You really did listen to your grandfather!"
"Absolutely! My grandfather is a philosopher in my heart, no less than Nietzsche, even greater than Plato."
Seeing Liang Feng amused, Zhang Jingdong took the opportunity to say: "Alright, stop being mad, although I've taken advantage of you these past few days, I promise this time I will definitely help you win the championship!"
As soon as Liang Feng heard this, he immediately said: "You said it, I will trust you this time!"
The two chatted for a while longer, then each got into their cars and set off with the main group.
It was only after driving for a little over an hour that Zhang Jingdong immediately understood why Liang Feng had said that this was the ultimate test of the training.
There was almost no road ahead, all steep mountain paths.
Even with Zhang Jingdong's excellent driving skills, the speed was much slower than the previous two days.
Moreover, as they were driving, it suddenly began to pour, not only diminishing the visibility but also the ground became even more slippery.
In such harsh conditions, the disadvantage of Zhang Jingdong's team was greatly amplified.
Although he himself was still driving fast enough, Liang Feng was barely able to keep up, but the other team members nearly all fell behind.
Thus, they were quickly surpassed by members of other teams and left far behind.
And the rain continued relentlessly for a whole day, by the time they reached Moon Mountain it was already 1 am.
To their despair, the other three teams didn't camp at Moon Mountain but went straight towards the final destination, Dagula Mountain.
So, they had no choice but to rest for just over an hour at Moon Mountain before continuing to pursue.
The next day, the downpour continued.
However, after chasing the whole night and next morning, they finally caught up with the other teams' members.
At this point, Liang Feng said to Zhang Jingdong through the walkie-talkie: "These are just people covering the rear, all three teams have each selected a few members to rush for the final championship point."
Zhang Jingdong immediately said: "Why didn't you say earlier that we could do this, now you select another 6 people, get in our two cars, and we'll go for the final championship with just two vehicles."
"Alright, that's the only option we have now."
Subsequently, two black Range Rovers stopped by the roadside, soon 6 female team members got into the two vehicles, and then the two cars started the high-speed pursuit mode.
It took them less than an hour to catch up with the first team.
Another half an hour passed, and they were already in first place.
At that time, Xu Zhong called Liang Feng.
"You have only two vehicles, at most 10 people, even if you reach the destination first, you are no match for the spearhead team, don't make the same mistake as last year."
"Let us go first, this year you have Zhang Jingdong, you have the chance to win the championship."
Last year they reached Dagula Mountain first, only to be defeated by the enemy and unwittingly prepared the victory for Xu Zhong's team.
Liang Feng hesitated for a moment, then said firmly: "We don't need your charity, we're going for the real championship!"
"... Alright then, good luck to you."
Two hours later, Zhang Jingdong and his team were the first to reach Dagula Mountain.
After getting out of the car, they made a swift march for over an hour and arrived at the final dense forest.
Upon entering, Zhang Jingdong asked Liang Feng: "How do we win?"
Liang Feng replied: "Reach the final commanding height and raise the red flag."
"Where's the red flag?"
"Right here."
Liang Feng was about to take out the red flag to give to Zhang Jingdong.
Zhang Jingdong waved his hand: "No need to give it to me, you raise the flag at the end, we'll be responsible for protecting you."
Liang Feng hesitated, then said: "Better give it to you, you're the most likely among us to make it to the end, but you must promise me to raise this red flag."
Zhang Jingdong shook his head: "Don't worry, I said I could protect you until the end, and I will."
"Also, you're our captain, only if you personally raise this red flag will the other teams be convinced in their defeat."
Seeing that he was adamant, Liang Feng could only nod: "... Okay then."
Afterward, their group entered the dense forest.
It was less than half an hour before three female team members were eliminated by the enemy.
