The protagonist crossed over unexpectedly, the system was dumbfounded, and the protagonist was confused. One system exists to survive and live more comfortably, while the other tries to avoid havin...
After returning Ye Zi's list, Han Xijun said:
"I suggest bringing a waterproof tarpaulin, which is good for both setting up temporary shelters and keeping out rain."
Ye Zi nodded. He really hadn't decided whether to bring the waterproof tarp. He felt it wouldn't be very useful.
I took the list and continued browsing, and then I found something good: sanitary napkins, a pack of thirty. Judging from the picture, they were packed in a sealed bag, so it seems that three regular packs were opened and put together for the program.
Yezi pointed to the sanitary napkins and handed them to Reba, letting her choose for herself. She wasn't choosing a brand, but rather that these things actually came in mesh and cotton versions.
This was the first time Ye Zi had ever heard of this product having different fabrics; he had only heard of nighttime and daytime versions.
Reba blushed after seeing what Ye Zi had asked her to choose, and hesitated, saying:
"Are you sure you want this thing to take up a tool slot?"
"Sure, unless you want to use those sunflower water belts filled with wood ash."
Reba quickly checked the boxes and then handed the list back to Yezi.
Including sanitary napkins, Yezi has already selected eight items, leaving two slots. But Yezi really can't decide what to choose for those two slots.
In island regions, palm trees are generally plentiful, and palm leaves are just as effective as waterproof fabric.
After browsing through the list twice, Yezi still didn't know which of the remaining two tools to choose, so she could only ask Reba if she needed anything.
Dilraba picked up the list and looked at it for a while. Several times she blushed when she saw the pack of sanitary napkins that had been checked off.
But in the end, she shook her head. She was a novice. She had been learning about tropical plants since the day she signed the contract, and apart from the tools for selecting leaves, she didn't know what else to choose.
Originally, bows and arrows were on Reba's mind, but Er Ya told her about Ye Zi's situation, especially the flying stone skill, which could hit any target. Just as Ye Zi said, there was no need to bring bows and arrows.
Ultimately, the leaf made a choice: a set of ointments that prevented and treated mosquito bites, and a solar-powered light.
The ointment is very necessary because there is no shortage of mosquitoes at the beach, and Yezi doesn't recognize any herbs for that.
Reba only recognizes mugwort.
It's hard to say what would happen if there were no mugwort on the island.
Choosing a solar-powered light was entirely feasible because I fully appreciated how convenient it was to have a light in a shelter during my last trip to Alaska.
After selecting the tools, Ye Zi pondered whether any modifications were needed.
After thinking for a while, he actually came up with a problem: although his diving ability was yet to be verified, it was definitely not a problem for him to hide on the seabed with heavy objects and shoot fish.
In such cases, ordinary fishing tackle is not very effective. If you want to fish, you must catch big fish. If you want to catch big fish, you need large hooks and strong fishing lines.
So Yezi changed her original fishing tackle to steel wire fishing line and matching large fish hooks.
After confirming that everything was alright, Ye Zi handed over her late-night snack to the production crew.
Reba was still immersed in Yezi's heartwarming gesture.
Er Ya told her how she spent her period in Alaska, using rabbit fur.
Reba also faces this problem and is worried about not having enough survival tools. She has already learned how to make sunflower water belts online and plans to make them when she has free time after the survival begins.
Unexpectedly, while others were struggling with what to bring, Yezi directly chose that type of sanitary napkin. Moreover, Yezi felt that many tools were unnecessary to bring, and there was even a situation where there was nothing she needed to bring.
Er Ya also shared a tip with Reba: team up with Ye Zi and just sit back and wait to win.
Now, Dilraba has begun to have this feeling.
As the plane landed, Ye Zi looked at the foreign languages written all over the airport and realized that she had already gone abroad.
After leaving the airport, we went to the hotel, rested for one night, boarded the cruise ship the next day, and then went to our respective rooms to head to our survival destination.
On the cruise ship, all the contestants were called together. This time, there was no speech from any leader; it was just for the purpose of drawing lots.
One box contains fifteen numbered balls; one person from each group goes to draw lots.
After receiving the numbered ball, staff will provide a brief introduction to the corresponding survival location.
It's called a brief introduction, but it's really just an aerial photo of the island, showing its size and potential dangers. The production team doesn't want the contestants to die on the island without knowing why.
Ye Zi's group was naturally drawn by Dilraba. Judging from the introduction Dilraba brought back, the conditions were good. The island's area was equivalent to the size of five standard football fields, less than 40,000 square meters, and there was no danger.
Judging from the pictures, there are quite a few plants, including coconut trees, palm trees, and other trees.
With coconuts, there's emergency food; with palm trees, waterproofing the shelter isn't a problem; and with other types of trees, there's a water source, so there's no need to worry about firewood.
There's no danger on the island, and the sea isn't a big problem either. Apart from the occasional shark that's around, everything else is fine, as long as there are no sea snakes.
When Dilraba saw the description mentioning that sharks were active nearby, she had a complicated expression. Sharks are the top predators in the ocean, and they are not afraid of humans.
The difficulty of going to sea to obtain food remains the same, but the danger has increased exponentially.
As the main force in obtaining food from the sea, Reba was worried for Yezi.
Ye Zi stroked her chin and asked:
Are sharks protected animals?
The staff member answered without hesitation:
"No, but large-scale hunting is not allowed."
Ye Zi nodded and said:
"That's fine then."
Then return to your seat.
Dilraba asked, looking completely bewildered:
"You don't intend to harm a shark, do you?"
Ye Zi smiled and said:
Why refuse food that's been delivered to your door? Shark fin, have you ever eaten it?
Dilraba shook her head.
Ye Zi continued:
"You've ever worn a sharkskin swimsuit?"
Dilraba shook her head again.
"That settles it then. Let's make do with the sharkskin for now, and then we can process it properly when we get back to China. Even if we don't wear it, it'll still look comfortable, right?"
Reba nodded blankly, but then felt something was off. She stared at Ye Zi, who was leisurely drinking juice and smoking, for a while before she realized what was wrong.
He thought to himself:
"Brother, that's a shark. Is it appropriate for someone who's just gotten rid of being a landlubber to be eyeing it?"
But then I thought about Ye Zi's feats of killing a black bear and kicking a brown bear to death, and it seemed that doing so would fit Ye Zi's character.
My complicated feelings immediately dissipated, and I even started to look forward to the sharkskin swimsuit that Ye Zi had mentioned.
It seemed that, apart from Ye Zi and her partner, every contestant in each group had a hint of worry on their faces.
The only acquaintance, Han Xijun, leaned over and asked:
Is it dangerous where you are?
Ye Zi shook her head to indicate that nothing was wrong.
Han Xijun exclaimed that he was really lucky, then immediately read through the introduction in front of Ye Zi, and after reading it, he paused for a moment and said:
"Just like us, so there's no danger?"
Ye Zi said indifferently:
"It's just a shark, no big deal."
Han Xijun was taken aback. He raised an eyebrow at Ye Zi, then put down the introduction and silently returned to his seat.
