Ye Zi's words were true, but they were also tinged with helplessness.

The island they were assigned to was too small, and the supplies available on the island were extremely limited. If they wanted to get enough to eat, they had to find a way to get food from the sea.

Other players can get some food on the island, and if they're lucky, they might even find some marine debris.

Marine debris may be considered trash in the city, but when it comes to survival, it's a treasure.

Even a tattered fishing net would be a huge help to a survivor, but Ye Zi had nothing.

There's a reason this small island is used as a hidden element; there's no openly available fresh water, and the food available on the island is readily apparent.

Just these two points alone—that Bear Grylls can survive for three to five days—would be enough to live up to his reputation.

If Germany were to come here starving, things probably wouldn't be much better.

Fortunately, it was Ye Zi who came. He had a special ability: he could not only detect fresh water, but he was also incredibly strong. Otherwise, he would have had no choice but to retreat.

The small boat docked, Yezi anchored, and Reba and her haul went ashore and returned to the shelter to prepare for dinner.

In the afternoon, gunshots rang out on the island. Ye Zi was practicing her marksmanship, but Reba stopped after firing a few shots because the recoil was too strong for a young girl like her.

Ye Zi was in high spirits, but the only thing that bothered her was that her marksmanship wasn't recorded by the system and she didn't get any experience points.

There's nothing we can do about it; the system can only record the use of cold weapons and hand-to-hand combat skills. Gun techniques are considered firearms and are not included in its scope.

Even if the system can't record it, Ye Zi is still willing to spend time practicing. Anyway, she has plenty of bullets and is just killing time.

Firing a hundred or so bullets a day is no problem at all.

Over the next few days, Yezi and Reba went out to sea to fish every morning. If the fishing was good, they didn't need to go out to sea to catch fish. If the fishing was not going well, Yezi would boil water to get food. In the afternoon, they would practice target shooting.

This continued until the thirtieth day, when it was time for another routine physical examination.

Liu Hu led the medical staff onto the island, clenched his fist and gestured to Ye Zi, telling her that another group had dropped out.

After seeing the medical staff off, Ye Zi continued her daily struggle for survival.

On the thirty-second day, not long after Yezi and Reba set sail, a remark made by Reba caught Yezi's attention.

"The weather is nice today, and the sea breeze feels so refreshing."

Ye Zi paused for a moment, looked up at the sky, then reached out and scooped up a handful of seawater, carefully feeling the force of the sea breeze.

Then he put away his fishing gear and said:

"The weather is about to change, it might be a storm. I'll go down and get some food, we need to get ashore as soon as possible."

Dilraba nodded seriously, and Ye Zi took off her shirt and jumped into the water.

Soon, Ye Zi threw several sea fish onto the small boat. After feeling the sea breeze, they were a bit bigger than before. Ye Zi continued diving, shooting the fish while also taking five giant clams of different sizes.

After emerging from the water, Yezi immediately rowed the boat towards the island.

As we approached, the sea breeze suddenly intensified, and Ye Zi involuntarily increased the speed of his oars.

The small boat rushed directly to the shore. The two disembarked, and Ye Zi dragged the boat ashore. After leaving the beach, they unloaded everything from the cabin.

They turned the small boat upside down on the ground, and then, still worried, tied the anchor to a tree before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

Although he has incredible stamina, the importance of the small boat is self-evident, so it's better to be on the safe side.

The wind was getting stronger, so Yezi quickly moved everything into the shelter and ate with Reba there.

At this time, the outside was covered with dark clouds and rain was falling.

Yezi and Reba were peering out the window at what was happening outside.

The wind grew stronger, the rain grew heavier, and eventually it turned into a storm.

"It's a bit scary that such a big commotion is happening at sea when it's raining."

Ye Zi smiled slightly and said:

“After the last show, Whale Brother told me that if it weren’t for that storm, he would definitely have been the one competing with us for the championship.”

Later, I went back and watched the recording, and also searched for information online. It's okay in coastal areas, but in island regions, this kind of disturbance is the norm.

Dilraba nodded. The last time she participated in the wilderness survival show was broadcast live worldwide, and as it was the most popular program at the time, she had also been following it.

Especially in the last period, she was aware of Wu Jing's ordeal, but she didn't care at the time, as long as he was alright.

She had been on the show for a month, and things had been peaceful. She had almost forgotten about the storm at sea until today.

The two of them stayed quietly in the shelter, watching the storm rage outside.

Fortunately, the shelter was sturdy. Although it shook to some extent, after Ye Zi checked it, there were no problems overall.

At the same time, several other islands in the area were also being ravaged by storms; these islands were all places where survival players lived.

They weren't as safe as the leaves; the raging storm caused unimaginable damage to their shelter.

Three hours later, the storm passed, and Yezi and Reba pushed open the door and went out, smelling the fresh scent of the earth after the storm and breathing in the moist air.

The heat and dryness brought by the hot weather of the past month have completely dissipated.

In another scene on the island, four survivors, soaking wet, stared blankly at their half-damaged shelter.

The waterproof tarpaulin we brought had been blown away by the strong wind and had flown off somewhere. The camp we had worked so hard to build was now back to square one.

After the rain stopped, the first thing to do was to hang the clothes out to dry. Luckily, they were all quick-drying, so they dried in no time.

Then I started packing my things. Luckily, I had gathered all the survival tools around me before the storm hit, otherwise I could have quit right now.

One group of contestants searched the surrounding area and successfully found the rainproof cloth, while the other group was not so lucky.

After the storm, both teams realized that their shelters were not stable enough, so they both chose to reinforce them when building new shelters.

During the evening rest period, the group that couldn't find the waterproof cloth had a problem, and the female athlete caught a cold after being exposed to the wind and rain.

In the middle of the night, the female contestant developed a fever. Drinking hot water did not help, and she endured it until the morning of the thirty-third day. With the fever still not subsiding, the male contestant chose to ask for help and let his partner receive treatment.

At this point, only nine groups of contestants remain out of the fifteen groups competing in the island survival challenge, and the survival competition continues.

In fact, it wasn't just Ye Zi and her three groups that encountered storms; other contestants also encountered storms in the past month, though the scale varied, because this wasn't the first time someone had to withdraw due to a storm.

But that's how survival is; it's not just about solving the food problem, but also about facing the challenges of nature.

They were lucky; after all, it was just a TV show. Those with tools were able to block the way, but those who actually encountered shipwrecks were truly miserable. They had virtually no survival tools, and it was uncertain whether they could even find a place to stay.
