After entering the mountain, the soldiers who had been following the students dispersed and soon vanished into the woods.
Experienced students knew that those soldiers were now hidden around the perimeter of the restricted area, not only to protect the safety of all the students inside but also to provide assurance for those who wanted to quit.
When they left, they distributed a whistle to each student; if one wanted to quit or encountered any danger, all they had to do was blow the whistle.
Ning Xi had only one whistle around her neck, and aside from a small backpack, she had nothing else.
The small backpack contained nothing but water.
According to the rules, besides water, no other items were allowed to be carried in wilderness survival, otherwise, it would negate the purpose of wilderness survival.
This was Ning Xi's first time participating in wilderness survival, and her first time stepping into Nandu's Great Snow Mountain.
