Chapter 296
Upon spotting the other group, she headed straight for her suitcase and popped it open.
"What kind of nightmare place is this? The mosquitoes here are the size of spiders, and they've bitten me all over!" she grumbled, pulling out a mountain of skincare products from her bag.
After wiping off her makeup, she slapped on a face mask and mumbled, "I'm done with this. I want to go home."
Lovebot hovered above her head and did a little spin. "Recording has started. You can't quit unless you encounter life-threatening situations. If you want to enjoy a better lifestyle, hurry up and find your crush. Then you can both head to Angel Island for a romantic date."
Faith was fuming, but there was nothing she could do. The other three came over. Juztin was holding a wicker basket. "We found some supplies-a basket, flint, and a pot," he said.
Pax chimed in, "Did you find any food?"
Juztin handed over the basket. "Just picked some mushrooms along the way." He put the basket down.
Chloe walked over and peered inside. Her brows knitted together. "Juztin, most of these are poisonous. We can't eat them."
Juztin, still wearing his sunglasses, gave nothing away. Barrett joined them. “Let's just pick out the poisonous ones and make some soup with the rest. There's so little to eat in this forest, and we've been walking forever and haven't found anything better."
It was already noon, and the sun was blazing down. Everyone had been either setting up tents or trekking through the forest looking for food. Their stomachs were growling.
But Chloe was firm. "No, they're all mixed together now. Picking them out won't help. Just throw them away."
Chloe had spent her summers at various camps, including wilderness survival camps, where she learned a lot about survival skills and identifying edible plants and mushrooms. So, setting up tents or recognizing poisonous mushrooms was second nature to her.
Kalilah, however, wasn't having it.
"Chloe, do you know how hard it was for us to find these? Juztin even fell down a hillside and scraped his leg. And now you're saying we should just throw them away?"
Chloe squatted down and picked a mushroom from the basket. In a casual tone, she said, "This is a
Bitter Brown Umbrella. It's deadlyet
This is a Pale Death Cap. It's also deadly. This is a Pink Russula, deadly. And this is a Fly Agaric, not deadly, but it'll give you hallucinations. Wanna give it a go?"
Kalilah was speechless.
The live chat was buzzing:
[Oh my God, they got so many Death Caps. The grim reapers of the mushroom world are guaranteed to kill them]
[A bunch of people painstakingly picked a basket of poisonous mushrooms]
[These mushrooms will collectively kill them]
[Just listen to Chloe. Even touching these can poison you. Chloe is awesome. I can't even recognize all of them.]
Kalilah pouted but wasn't about to

risk her life. She pulled out something wrapped in oak leaves, like it was a treasure. "Luckily, I found some bird eggs on the way back If it wasn't for me, everyone would definitely be starving."
Chloe stared at the "bird eggs" stuck together inside the oak leaves and felt a moment of darkness. "Have you ever seen bird eggs look sticky and clustered like a beehive?"
Kalilah retorted, "If these aren't bird eggs, what are they?"
They were oval-shaped, white little eggs definitely looked like bird eggs. They were just a bit stuck together. Kalilah thought they could just cook and separate them.
Chloe had calmed down. "These are snake eggs."
