Chapter 52 Rescue Mission

Yan Qiao and the other three have returned, leaving only Chen Zhou and Yan Yaoyao in the tribe.

Zhang Song was getting anxious and went into the main camp.

"Director, will something bad happen?"

The director, who was also watching the live stream, said, "No, I'm watching."

It's just a little scare to frighten them; it won't really hurt them.

Not long after, Yan Yaoyao returned.

She ran back, her hair disheveled, her clothes covered in mud, and her trousers torn; she looked utterly disheveled.

"Brother Zhang! Brother Zhang, help me!"

Zhang Song ran out, "Why are you the only one here? Where's Young Master Chen? Did you complete the mission?"

Yan Yaoyao seemed to have found someone to rely on, and burst into tears.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Chenzhou has been detained by them, and they are unwilling to release him."

Yan Qiao turned her head upon hearing this, "If you're unwilling to release them, why didn't you arrest them?"

Yan Yaoyao's face stiffened; she also found it strange.

They actually let him go, only capturing the sunken boat.

"I don't know, Brother Zhang, hurry and send someone to rescue Brother Chenzhou!"

Zhang Song nodded. "Tell us first, why are they detaining people? Did you have a conflict?"

Mentioning this, Yan Yaoyao's face twisted in pain.

"It's all because of you! You didn't check beforehand that the Zhuotan tribe doesn't eat pork at all!"

Zhang Song: "...How come we didn't find out that the tribe and the goods used for trading were originally paired up? It was you who insisted on exchanging them with Yan Qiao."

He won't take the blame for this.

He was greedy and switched tribes, but he didn't want to exchange his resources for them. He only got what he deserved.

Upon hearing his words, Yan Yaoyao immediately turned her anger towards Yan Qiao.

"It's you! Yan Qiao, you did this on purpose! You knew perfectly well they don't eat pork, yet you still traded with me!"

Yan Qiao found a place to sit down and lazily glanced at her.

"Isn't it you who's supposed to switch? I've confirmed with you repeatedly, and you still want to switch. I also asked you if you wanted to switch supplies, and you said you didn't. I did know from the beginning that the Zhuotan tribe doesn't eat pork, and I also knew that they worship pigs as mountain spirits, and that bringing pork there would definitely offend them. But what does that have to do with me? Even the production team didn't remind you, so why should I?"

Yan Yaoyao's face contorted with rage, her body trembling, as she glared at Yan Qiao with her eyes fixed on her.

Ruan Cha said indignantly, "Yan Yaoyao, don't go too far. You were the one who said you wanted to change it. Now that something has gone wrong, you're blaming others. You can't expect to get all the good things by yourself, can you?"

Zang Mingqi said coldly, "Is it all someone else's fault? Don't you bear any responsibility?"

Yan Yaoyao bit her lower lip, speechless after being confronted by them.

But Yan Qiao could have reminded her, yet she remained silent.

To put it bluntly, they just wanted to see them make a fool of themselves.

The way she was crying, with tears streaming down her face, made it seem as if she had been bullied.

She should bear the primary responsibility if the sunken ship is seized.

[I've gone from being a fan of Yan Yaoyao to hating her.]

[After she appeared on the show, it was as if she had been possessed.]

[All she does is cry and rely on others; that's wilderness survival. She doesn't actually try to survive, she just cries, or she's shirking responsibility.]

So many days have passed, and Yan Yaoyao has accomplished nothing, leaving those viewers who came to the live stream purely to watch a wilderness survival show speechless.

Does she even understand the show's purpose? This isn't a dating reality show.

After discussing with the director, Zhang Song added a hidden mission that could be triggered at the last minute.

"Hidden mission: Rescue the sunken ship. Which guest would like to take on this mission? There will be an extra bonus if the rescue is successful."

Yan Qiao asked, "How much is the prize money?"

Zhang Song kept everyone in suspense: "You'll find out once we rescue them. Anyway, you won't be treated unfairly."

Yan Qiao raised her hand. "We'll take this mission."

Yan Yaoyao felt a lump in her throat, extremely frustrated.

"Yan Qiao, you can't accept this mission," she interrupted.

Yan Qiao found it amusing. "Why can't I accept?"

"You have trouble communicating with them, so why did you take on this mission? Don't end up harming Brother Chenzhou."

Yan Qiao exclaimed, "Didn't you say before that I speak five languages? Why do you now think I have trouble communicating? Yan Yaoyao, so were you deliberately being sarcastic when you said that before?"

Yan Yaoyao's gaze darted away, giving off a feeling of nakedness.

Everyone thought she was being sarcastic, but no one would say it as bluntly as Yan Qiao.

She gritted her teeth. "You know perfectly well whether you speak five languages ​​or not. That's a persona you created for yourself, and it's long since collapsed. You're just asking a question you already know the answer to!"

[Hilarious! Can Yan Yaoyao please stop talking?! She's so stupid I can't bear to watch!]

[Yan Qiao has already completed the task, can't she use her brain to think about it?]

Yan Qiao's Spanish is indeed standard and fluent; this Spanish major has certified it.

[Knowing Spanish doesn't necessarily mean you know English, so Yan Yaoyao's concerns are not unreasonable.]

Zhang Song didn't care whether Yan Qiao knew five languages ​​or not; all he wanted now was to find someone to bring the sunken boat out.

"Yan Qiao, are you sure you want to accept this mission?"

Yan Qiao nodded. "We accept it. Remember to give us the reward."

Zhang Song nodded. "Alright, the hidden mission to rescue the sunken boat will be carried out by Yan Qiao and Xi Luo. Let's begin!"

As soon as he said "Let's get started," Yan Qiao and Xi Luo indeed pulled the cart away.

But instead of rescuing people, they returned to the bamboo house.

Zhang Song was taken aback, then took two steps after him.

"Yan Qiao, you can't possibly eat all this pork, so why don't you sell some to us?"

Yan Qiao smiled and nodded, "Okay, we can't finish it anyway."

We didn't even finish eating the one we caught yesterday, let alone these.

In this kind of weather, meat will spoil quickly if left out for too long.

They made a deal with the production team; a large wild boar was sold, and Yan Qiao and Xi Luo split the proceeds.

With the wild boar left, Zang Mingqi divided the meat among himself and temporarily stored it in the refrigerator at the base camp.

Zhang Song was overjoyed; he had originally thought he wouldn't be able to eat meat.

Who knew that after the darkest hour came the dawn?

When Yan Yaoyao saw that Yan Qiao had accepted the task but hadn't done anything, she stormed over in anger.

"Didn't you accept the mission? Why haven't you taken action yet!"

Yan Qiao glanced at the sky and said innocently, "It's already noon, aren't we going to eat? I'm hungry, I need to eat something first so I have the strength to save people."

Yan Yaoyao was furious, "When you eat here, have you ever thought about what will happen to Brother Chenzhou?"

"He's already been captured anyway, so what difference does it make if he stays in the Zhuotan tribe a little longer or a little shorter? Besides, it's not my fault that he was captured, wasn't it you who caused it?"

After saying that, Yan Qiao ignored her and turned to process the pork.

She asked the production team for some star anise, bay leaves, and other spices, and decided to have braised pork with fragrant white rice today—it was so satisfying!
