Chapter 4 It's not a good thing, it looks just like that

Wei Wei: "It's full."

"What's it to you?" Niu Xixi said in an unfriendly tone.

Ever since Wei Wei appeared, everyone praised him for his good looks, but he didn't think he was much better looking than him. "Huh, he's just so-so."

Niu Xixi was about to stick to Zhou Youxuan again, but Wei Wei stepped forward and blocked Zhou Youxuan behind him.

In fact, Wei Wei didn't want to take the lead. He only cared about protecting Zhou Youguan's personal safety. He didn't want to worry about anything else.

But if Niu Xixi were allowed to join, he would most likely be the one to be abandoned, rather than Ke Feiyang, who they thought had the best physical fitness.

Niu Xixi put her hands on her hips, her voice becoming sharp: "I'm talking to Teacher Zhou, why are you butting in? What's your business?"

"Pfft..." The big monkey couldn't help laughing. "Brother, I want to be in your group. We're still surviving in the wild. What if you were on a dating variety show?"

Zhou Youlan pushed him away, his brows furrowed with disgust.

It's not a good thing, it's boring.

Zhao Guanjun saw them arguing over the groupings and said, "Young man, if you participate in the popular dating variety shows, you might become very popular. You'll probably become famous faster that way."

He looked at Wei Wei and said, "But coming here seems like it would be quite a challenge for you. Would you like me to introduce you to resources for this type of variety show? I have a wide network of contacts in this area."

On the surface, Zhao Guanjun appears to be very kind, not arrogant and not difficult to approach. At first, one might think that he is a kind senior who wants to pave the way for the junior. However, when one listens carefully, it is obvious that he is "educating" you in a sarcastic tone. If one is slow to react, one would not be able to tell for a moment.

Wei Wei remembered that he should be the "old senior" Teacher Zhao that Zhang Longtong mentioned.

Some people enjoyed the show, while others were too timid to say much.

"Alright, alright," Zhao Guanjun began to gather everyone. "We're just dividing into groups, not going our separate ways. Let's quickly split up and get going. It doesn't matter who you team up with. Don't waste everyone's time. Starting today, we're going to spend the night in the forest."

"That's right, we are just divided into groups for easier management. We are not going to leave separately. Hurry up, Teacher Zhao is urging us." Zhang Longtong tugged at Wei Wei's sleeve and winked at him.

Niu Xixi could only walk away reluctantly, but he would not give up.

Wei Wei turned around and met Zhou Youguan's gaze, who turned away in disgust.

Wei Wei: “…”

The remaining few guests who are unknown to anyone are waiting for everyone to finish choosing, and then they will be added to the group that is still short of people.

Group 1 is led by Zhao Guanjun, and includes actress Lin Yue, male artist Wang Chunqin, female idol Ruan Mengmeng, and female singer Li Rongsheng. This group is full of star artists.

Group 2 is led by Zhao Jie, who is similar in age to Zhao Guanjun, so she is the team leader. The team members include fitness coach Chen Nan, rapper Wang Daodao, retired firefighter Ke Feiyang, and beauty internet celebrity Niu Xixi.

Originally, Ke Feiyang was in Zhou Youlan's group, but a female outdoor adventure blogger asked him to change seats, and he couldn't refuse, so he changed.

The third group is led by Zhou Youxing, and its members include Damahou, male idol Zhang Longtong, amateur guest Wei Wei, and outdoor adventure female internet celebrity Hu Lu who switched places with Ke Feiyang.

The last group was led by Wang Ren, and its members included Ahu, Laogui, rock climber Kang Xiang, and outdoor sports enthusiast Li Xiaohuan.

Everyone set off according to Wei Wei's map route. Wang Ren and his companions were very fast from the start, and soon the others could not catch up with them, including their own team members.

Although they were divided into groups and the teachers from the four camera crews were automatically assigned to follow the filming, it was obvious that there was still a lack of discipline when everyone started moving.

Wang Ren and his friends looked down on these celebrities and internet celebrities who were slow and picky just for show, and had long left them behind.

They didn't rest along the way because they set out at noon. It gets dark early in this season, so they had to find a place to build a shelter quickly, otherwise they would have to endure the mosquitoes in the forest at night.

Because they can only bring two pieces of equipment, the production team doesn’t even allow them to bring water. Of course, they can bring it, but the water will take up a supply space.

In comparison, everyone thinks that water can be found in the forest, but other supplies may be difficult to obtain in the forest.

This also causes people to be dehydrated. After sweating a lot, the body will urgently need to replenish water. Dehydration in high temperatures can be very dangerous.

The big monkey sat down on the ground and said, "Let's take a rest. I'm so thirsty."

Zhang Longtong licked his dry lips and said, "Yeah, I can't walk anymore. I really want to drink some water."

Zhou Youguan stopped and Wei Wei also stood aside.

"Hold on a little longer." Zhou Youxuan wiped the sweat from his forehead. "We'll set up camp and rest once we find a water source."

Wei Wei pulled over a blade of grass and pinched it. The vegetation here was denser than the place they had just come from, and the branches and leaves were thicker and smoother. There should be a river not far away.

They had rested no less than ten times in two hours. If they continued walking at this rate, they would probably not be able to reach the center of the jungle even after seven days of walking.

"Let's keep going," Zhao Guanjun said, "otherwise, it will be troublesome if we can't find water or a place to camp when it gets dark."

Zhao Guanjun was already walking in front, so they didn't dare to fall behind.

Zhou Youlan: "Map."

He pretended to be cold in his tone, his eyes turned to Wei Wei and then quickly looked away, as if he was afraid that one more glance would make Wei Wei have other thoughts about him.

Wei Wei didn't care and took out a map from his bag and handed it to him.

When Zhou Youguan was studying the map, Wei Wei noticed that his lips were dry, so he reminded him, "Go south, there should be a river over there."

Zhou Youxuan looked up in confusion and looked at the map carefully again.

Wei Wei was like a mute all the way. He didn't say a word when others complained about being hot or tired. But now he finally spoke.

Zhang Longtong: "How do you know to go south?"

"That's right, don't give blind orders," the big monkey said. "The vegetation in the forest is dense and numerous. If you go the wrong way, you'll be a million miles away. Don't pretend to know what you don't know."

Wei Wei looks like he is out of touch with the world. How could he possibly understand these things in the wild?

Zhou Youlan also had doubts.

After all, if they went south, they would deviate from their original route, but if they didn't go, the nearby geographical conditions would not be suitable for setting up camp and building shelters.

"The terrain here is high in the north and low in the south. The vegetation is lush in the south, so when the birds are startled, they fly south, and the river only exists in the south."

Wei Wei's voice was calm, and there was no heavy breathing like theirs that sounded tired.

Zhou Youlan observed carefully again and found that, indeed, from a north-south perspective, the vegetation coverage area in the south was much denser than that in the north.

Zhou You thought that flocks of birds generally would not build nests too far away from water sources, so the probability of there being a river in the south was indeed higher.

Wei Wei glanced at them calmly and said, "Based on the speed of a bird, the water source can't be more than three miles away from here."

If he wasn't worried about the Zhou family's eldest son suffering and having his wages deducted by Assistant Zhou, he wouldn't want to say more.

If they still didn't believe it, Wei Wei would not explain any further.

Of course, if Zhou Youlan is smart.

Zhou Youxuan looked at Wei Wei's calm and confident attitude and was temporarily convinced.

"Let's go and find water before dark."

Tour leader Zhou set off first and headed south.

After walking for nearly an hour, they finally found a river. Several people rushed to scoop up water to drink, but were stopped by Zhou Youguan.

"Flowing water in the wild can harbor microorganisms. There are animal footprints and feces on the river bank. This must be the drinking water of nearby animals. The bacteria it carries are harmful to humans. It is best to boil it before drinking."

I've been thirsty for so long anyway, it's okay to bear it a little longer.

Ruan Mengmeng said tiredly, "But we don't have fire. We don't know when we can light it even if we try to make fire by rubbing two sticks together."

Zhou Youguan handed them his ignition equipment and said, "Girls, go to the southeast slope and clear the weeds."

Wei Wei didn't expect that Zhou Youlan had some knowledge of survival in the wild. He found the best camping spot nearby. The terrain there was high, there was no beehive in the woods, and he would not be attacked by bees.

"Ah?" Ruan Mengmeng looked at the spot below her feet. "Isn't this place great? It's close to the water and there aren't that many deep weeds. Why should we go so far away? It's inconvenient to get water."

Many people also have this doubt.

"We are located in the middle and lower reaches of this branch river. The soil close to the river is wet all year round. At night, the water evaporates and creates mist, which is very humid. There are also a lot of mosquitoes. If there is a heavy rain upstream, if we camp here, we might be washed away in our sleep."

Everyone suddenly understood and nodded.

"We'll set up camp there tonight," Zhou Youguan said in a clear and concise manner. "Boys without knives, go pick up dry branches and start a fire. Those with knives, go cut branches and leaves to build a shelter. Let's light the fire first, otherwise no one will be able to bear the night without fire."

Zhou Youlan arranged everything in an orderly manner, and everyone automatically listened to his instructions. After all, in terms of popularity, influence and family background, Zhou Youlan had the ability to make people obey him, so everyone naturally followed them.

Under Zhou Youxuan's command, everyone acted in an orderly manner. The big monkey said he had a tent and didn't want to do anything, but was pulled up by Zhou Youxuan.

Zhao Guanjun sat on a rock by the river to rest, and no one dared to call him.

Zhou Youguan glanced at the hands of Wei Wei who was following him. His fingers were slender and his knuckles were as white as jade. Clearly visible fine blue veins were on the back of his hands. It didn't look like his hands could exert any great strength.

"Go with them to collect dry branches, and then go back and help the girls make a fire."

This job is easier. Niu Xixi finds it prickly to pick up firewood and is only willing to flatten the weeds with the girls. Wei Wei probably doesn't want to do this either. After saying that, Zhou Youlan went straight into the woods.

"Picking up branches?" Chen Nan raised his voice sarcastically. "This is such a painful job, Brother Zhou. Aren't you going to make things difficult for our Wei Da Ka? What if you cut Wei Da Ka's delicate hands?"

Zhou Youguan turned into the woods without saying a word, and Chen Nan snorted provocatively.

Wei Wei took out the dagger from the small bag on the side of his thigh strap and followed him.

Picking up branches to make a fire was a little easier, but he had a knife and still had the strength, so he didn't need to go back and compete with others for those jobs.

Zhou Youxuan heard the sound of footsteps on leaves behind him. He turned around and saw Wei Wei following him again.
