Chapter 55 Unexpected Changes

With only four teams remaining, the two Chinese teams were the most stable. Just when everyone thought these two teams were the strong contenders for the final victory, a sudden change occurred.

The island where Wu Jing lived was suddenly hit by a storm.

It's a tropical region, an island environment, so the shelter built by Wu Jing's team was quite reasonable. But the problem was that what came wasn't ordinary wind and rain, but a storm.

No matter how well-designed the shelter is, it cannot withstand the devastation of a storm.

First came the strong winds, which not only destroyed the three people's shelter, but also blew away their meager emergency food supplies.

Before the three could catch their breath, a strong wind, mixed with seawater and raindrops, swept in.

Wu Jing, quick-witted, pulled his teammates behind a coconut tree and tied them with vines to prevent them from being blown away by the strong wind.

Two hours later, the storm passed, and the three of them, catching their breath, returned to the camp and were dumbfounded.

The shelter and food reserves were destroyed by the strong winds, something they had seen before they hid. Now, the camp had no trace of the two months they had lived there.

That was bad enough, but after searching around, I discovered an even more serious problem.

Their survival tools were also gone.

Without taking a break, Wu Jing and his two companions began searching the vicinity.

After a long time, they only found one fishing line.

The reason we were able to find this place was because the fishhook got caught on a coconut tree, but the fishing rod was nowhere to be found.

There was nothing else gained.

After a final inventory, the three's survival equipment consisted of Wu Jing's military knife and the fishing gear he had just found.

What was clearly a promising situation was brought back to square one by a sudden storm.

Enraged, Wu Jing kicked the sand beneath his feet hard.

Believe it or not, there was something special about that kick, because he kicked something really hard.

After a moment of stunned silence, Wu Jing immediately squatted down and began digging in the sand.

Soon, a blackened pot bottom appeared, adding another pot to the remaining survival tools.

Inspired by this, Wu Jing immediately began poking around in the ground with his military knife, hoping to find other buried tools.

The two teammates quickly realized what was happening and started poking around with tree branches.

Whatever they find, as long as it's a tool for survival, it will give them an extra boost to keep going.

As darkness fell, the three men collapsed from exhaustion, having found only an entrenching tool and nothing else.

Catching his breath, Wu Jing told his teammates to start a fire while he went into the sea to find something to eat.

When he returned to shore with the three giant clams, the fire had not yet started.

Since there was no fire starter, they also had to find a suitable ignition source for starting a fire by friction.

Dried coconuts do have coconut flakes that can be used to start a fire, but they can't break through the outermost hard skin. They can only wait for Wu Jing to return and pry it open with a military knife.

After getting ashore, Wu Jing glanced at the situation and immediately understood the predicament. Without saying a word, he pulled out his military knife and handed it over. He needed to rest; this ordeal had been exhausting.

After finally getting a fire going, the giant clam shell was split in two and roasted directly over the fire.

After eating, the three of them finally felt that it was good to be alive.

Just as the three were resting, a drone flew over and hovered to Wu Jing's right front.

It was only then that he noticed that the drone that had been filming him had disappeared after the storm.

It's estimated that he was blown away by strong winds and crashed while he was busy helping his teammates secure their bodies, and that's when a new drone arrived to continue the live broadcast.

While Wu Jing was in the sea, his two teammates managed to set up a makeshift shelter, though they didn't start a fire. It was impossible for the three of them to sleep together; aside from the difference between men and women, their sizes simply didn't meet the requirements.

After resting for a while, Wu Jing got up and continued working. There was no time to build a shelter, but a simple shelter shed could still be completed.

This is not the time to complain or blame others. As long as you are safe, you can always start over. You've already persevered this far, there's no reason to give up.

Viewers in the live stream saw Wu Jing rekindle his fighting spirit and sent encouragement and blessings through the screen.

Nothing happened that night. When Wu Jing woke up the next morning, he noticed something was wrong. Two of his teammates had fevers of varying degrees, and one of them also had cold symptoms.

This discovery chilled Wu Jing to the bone.

Being exposed to wind and rain, and not being properly kept warm at night, it's understandable that he developed a fever, but it was also unexpected.

Wu Jing didn't expect his two teammates to have such poor resistance.

That being said, after nearly two months of living in the wilderness, it's easy to get sick if you don't get enough nutrition.

After consulting with his two teammates and receiving their agreement to continue, Wu Jing told them to do what they could based on their own situation, and to rest if they were too tired.

Food and shelter—if they can solve these two problems, they can hold on a little longer and see if they can outlast the other contestants.

However, this hope was destined to be dashed. By noon, neither of their teammates showed any signs of their fever subsiding and both had cold symptoms.

While instructing his two teammates to rest, Wu Jing made a final effort by cooking a pot of seafood soup. If their condition improved, he would continue to persevere; if not, he would abandon the match and allow his two teammates to receive treatment.

Ultimately, Wu Jing called for help from nobody because their condition had not improved.

After calling for backup, Wu Jing, like a deflated balloon, sat on the beach waiting for the rescue team to arrive, filled with resentment.

Just as Ye Zi had predicted, Wu Jing also took advantage of his memory checkup to inquire about the news, but he didn't meet a Chinese person, but rather one of his foreign fans.

They also knew that there were only four teams left, but like Ye Zi, they didn't know which four countries' teams were left, fearing that they were China's last hope.

The rescue team arrived and took Wu Jing and his two teammates away. After returning to the yacht, Wu Jing watched as his two teammates received medical treatment and immediately went back to his room to check the live stream online.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was still one team of Chinese players left; as long as they weren't all eliminated, it was fine.

After washing up, he ate a delicious meal while browsing the status of Ye Zi's team. His team had already failed, so he could check it anytime.

The most important thing is to analyze the situation of Ye Zi and the other two, and what their chances of winning are.

Before he had even finished his meal, Wu Jing put down his chopsticks, as he was amazed by the food reserves and shelter of Ye Zi's team.

And the further you flip through the pages, the more surprised you become, because Ye Zi's combat power is too strong. No wonder she was able to create such conditions.

Ultimately, it was a helpless situation. With someone like Ye Zi around, the other teams had absolutely no hope of winning the game.

The shelter is sturdy enough to withstand an attack from a black bear, and the food reserves are enough for them to live on for another month. Moreover, they are particular about their food and want to eat fresh meat.

Is it really true that comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable?
