Chapter 47 This is the truth. If you can’t stand it, quit.

He once again witnessed Wei Wei's charm. He remembered that at the beginning Hu Lu was even unwilling to eat the food Wei Wei found. How could it be so late?

Why is Wei Wei recruiting so many people?

Hu Lu was injured, and everyone lost their sleep and took turns taking care of the injured until dawn.

Hu Lu woke up once during the show and cried for a long time. She was afraid but also reluctant to quit the show. However, there was no turning back after pressing the button, and her body would not allow her to go forward.

The team was already overwhelmed by the injuries to Chen Nan and Li Rongsheng, and later Zhao Guanjun also became injured. Now seeing Hu Lu like this, everyone can't help but feel heavy-hearted.

Ruan Mengmeng felt very guilty. She was the one who checked the safety of the camping site, but there were still omissions, which caused Hu Lu to fall into such danger.

"Brother Zhou, I'm sorry. I wasn't careful enough when I checked the campsite, so this happened." She suppressed tears, her voice filled with guilt. "If you hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid..."

If any of them were stung in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep, they would die here if others couldn't find it in time.

Zhou Youlan hurriedly consoled her, "It has nothing to do with you. Why apologize? Out in the wild, you're bound to encounter all sorts of unexpected situations, and you can't take care of everyone. Protecting yourself is your greatest strength."

"Mengmeng, this has nothing to do with you. Just because you checked the surrounding environment, does that mean that everyone's safety depends on you alone?" Zhang Longtong patted her shoulder, signaling her not to feel any psychological burden.

Zhou Youlan thought for a moment and said, "These scorpions are also here for strange reasons."

"Indeed." The big monkey also said, "Have Wang Ren and his men been here?"

He was half asleep at the time, but he seemed to hear the voices of Wang Ren and the others.

Zhou Youxuan nodded, "They did pass by."

"Just passing by?" Zhang Longtong thought for a moment. "They're still on their way in the middle of the night, and they didn't even stop to say a few words before leaving?"

This is not their style.

Given the shameless behavior of Lao Gui and his gang, they would definitely be able to get something useful from them, just like they did last time when they stole the flashlight.

Wei Wei recalled the smug smile that flashed across Lao Gui's face when he accidentally glanced at him as he followed behind. It seemed that the scorpion incident was related to them.

"Maybe it has something to do with them." Wei Wei said.

Zhou Youlan: "What did you find?"

Wei Wei just noticed that the old ghost was acting strangely through careful observation, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, so it was hard to say.

He shook his head: "There is no evidence."

Zhang Longtong was filled with indignation: "It must be them. Otherwise, we slept for most of the night and didn't see any scorpions or even an ant. How come scorpions appeared here as soon as they arrived?"

"Contact the production team and check the live broadcast video to find out."

Da Ma Hou and Zhang Longtong looked at each other and immediately went to find the program staff.

The more Ruan Mengmeng thought about it, the more scared she became: "What if it really is them? Why would they do this?"

"Eliminate others." Zhou Youxuan sighed, "Only when others are eliminated can they get first place."

Ruan Mengmeng was a little bit unbelievable. She didn't expect that a person could be so bad that he would harm others just to win.

…

It was almost eight o'clock when the program crew's helicopter found them. Before leaving, Hu Lu wanted to say goodbye to Wei Wei, so the others had to step aside to give them space.

She gave Wei Wei the fruit she had been hiding. In fact, this fruit was the one Wei Wei gave her. She had never been willing to eat it, but she didn't expect it to be returned to Wei Wei so soon.

A smile appeared on his pale, haggard face. "We haven't really talked much."

Hu Lu glanced at Zhou Youlan, who kept looking over at her from time to time, and asked, "Are you really gay?"

[Wow, sister, are you so direct?]

I don't want to hear this kind of question.

Why are you asking about someone's sexual orientation?

[Isn't it obvious? Doesn't Wei Wei like Zhou Youlan?]

Wei Wei frowned slightly and quickly analyzed the meaning of these three words.

Hu Lu couldn't wait any longer and asked more directly this time: "Do you like men?"

Wei Wei shook his head slightly. He had no man or woman he liked.

There was no such thing before, there is no such thing now, and there will be no such thing in the future...

There was a small pool of stagnant water in the depression ahead, with a dead leaf floating on the water. The branches and leaves that had separated from the tree trunks could not escape the fate of withering and turning yellow, and once they fell into this pool of stagnant water that emitted a foul smell, they could only soak in the rotten mud day and night.

He has no future.

In Daqi, he was just a soulless walking corpse. Here, he is a weirdo with unknown origins and no place to fit in.

In a place that doesn't belong to him, in a completely unfamiliar era, he sometimes doesn't even know who he is, let alone the future.

Hu Lu's eyes brightened slightly: "So you..."

She paused and looked at Zhou Youlan on the other side.

They also thought that Wei Wei's care and concern for Zhou Youlang along the way was out of love, and Wei Wei had never refuted or denied everyone's speculation, so everyone tacitly accepted his feelings for Zhou Youlang, but Wei Wei now shook his head.

"I don't discriminate." Wei Wei said again.

Human emotions are born from the heart. Since it is what the heart desires, there is no need to be constrained by worldly views.

What Hu Lu cared more about was that Wei Wei didn't like Zhou Youlan now, so she didn't want to hide it anymore.

"If I tell you that I'm quite interested in you, will you be disgusted?"

Wei Wei was not very surprised. There were many people who liked him all the time, but he didn't have the mind to think about it.

Hu Lu smiled carefreely, "I guess you'll become very famous after this show, and you might even enter the entertainment industry. You're not a big star yet anyway, so say what you want to say while we're still a short distance apart and can still talk, otherwise you won't have the chance to say it later."

"When I was in danger, I actually didn't expect you to turn around and help me. I was actually quite unfriendly to you at first. I'm very ashamed and thank you very much. I like you very much and want to be friends with you."

Afraid that Wei Wei, with his reserved personality, would be frightened by her blunt words, she hurriedly explained, "Of course, this kind of liking is half out of admiration and liking you. The other half, perhaps because I've been in this environment for too long, I've developed a trust and dependence on you. I haven't yet fully figured out whether this dependence is romantic or not, but I'm afraid I won't have the chance to meet you again in the future, and there's still an opportunity for equal communication like now, so I don't want to leave any regrets, so I'm saying this now."

In fact, after she accidentally ate wild fruits and was poisoned, her opinion of Wei Wei changed. Later, Wei Wei saved her again when she was bitten by a black bear. At such a critical moment, Wei Wei dared to lead the black bear away for them. At that time, she admired and was grateful to Wei Wei very much.

Although Wei Wei looks cold, he is actually a good person.

Along the way, everyone blamed and quarreled with each other for food, water and their own interests. Other people in the team would often complain that these girls were a burden, that they walked too slowly, that they lacked physical strength, and that they could not do anything as well as the male guests.

But these words have never been heard from Wei Wei's mouth.

Hu Lu asked the first few questions in a low voice and no one heard them, but everyone heard the last few sentences clearly.

Ruan Mengmeng uttered an "Ouch!", staring intently and jokingly saying, "How did Hu Lu get there first? I haven't even told Brother Wei yet."

"Ah?" Lin Yue asked in surprise, "You like Wei Wei?"

Ruan Mengmeng covered her lips and smiled, "Brother Wei is handsome and has a great figure. He is also very capable. He knows everything about astronomy and geography and can defeat a group of people. He treats women with gentlemanly courtesy. Although he looks cold, he is not cold-blooded at heart. Who wouldn't like such a good man?"

"No!" Zhang Longtong interrupted her, deliberately joining in the fun, "Brother Wei is mine. With a brother like Wei, not only you girls, but us men can't escape either, okay?"

"Tsk, you guys in the boy band can't have a relationship."

"Can you girls' group do it again?"

The big monkey joked: "Wow, it hasn't been long since a girl confessed her love to him. It really is good to be handsome."

Ruan Mengmeng folded her arms, snorted, and said nothing. It was just a joke. She didn't have that kind of intention towards Wei Wei.

"Wei Wei has more than just good looks," Ke Feiyang said sincerely, "but what's even more attractive is his character and ability."

The big monkey curled his lips, feeling really envious and jealous, but what Ke Feiyang said was right.

"You all should think about it." Niu Xixi raised her chin confidently and proudly, "Wei Wei is mine."

Zhang Longtong glanced at him with disdain: "Didn't you come here to chase Brother Zhou in the first place? You're so fickle."

"With Wei Wei standing here, how can I have room for anyone else?"

Niu Xixi was very confident about her "change of heart", and it was Zhou Youlan who was embarrassed.

[Awesome! Well done!]

I feel embarrassed for Zhou Youlang. I came to the show to pursue him, but now I like someone else. Hahahaha.

[I don't blame you, Wei Wei is indeed charming]

Why is there only one Wei Wei? Why can't there be more? At least give me one.

[In fact, people like Wei Wei may look cold, but in fact, they are the warmest]

[I feel like Wei Wei is the type of person who, even if he's quiet and doesn't know how to comfort you, won't think it's absurd or troublesome for you to go to the sea late at night. He will definitely go with you and even prepare delicious food for you on the way in case you get hungry.]

[Why do so many people like Wei Wei? I can't beat him at all]

【Most of the people like it for appreciation】

They were fighting over Wei Wei, and Zhao Guanjun couldn't help but laugh. He then praised, "Wei Wei is indeed very different. People like Wei Wei, whether as friends or lovers, are indeed hard to come by."

Hu Lu waited quietly for a reply. The small mole between Wei Wei's eyebrows moved slightly, and he was obviously troubled.

Wei Wei took a small step back and nodded slightly, "A girl's love and affection are always precious. The precious jade and pearls that people pursue are incomparable."

"But I can't respond or make any promises to you. If you give this love to someone who knows how to cherish you, perhaps it will be fulfilled."

Hu Lu had never been rejected before, and this was the first time, but she didn't feel embarrassed at all.

However, I have only heard of people giving the nice guy card when rejecting others, and making excuses by saying that you can find someone better than me, but I have never heard anyone say that this "like" is extremely precious.

Hu Lu took a deep breath, and smiled brightly and relievedly: "Okay, then I hope we can all be happy."

She gave her equipment to Wei Wei and said, "I wish you a smooth and safe journey ahead."

Wei Wei: "You too."

Zhou Youlan was in a complicated mood, not because Niu Xixi had "fallen in love with someone else". He also admired Wei Wei very much. He thought it was normal for someone to like Wei Wei. It was just that he felt that his heart was changing very quickly. This feeling of being out of control really made him panic.

The helicopter's whirlwind messed up the equipment, and everyone had to pack up before they started on their way.

Chen Nan was walking slowly while leaning on a tree branch. Wang Daodao couldn't bear to see this and went to support him, but this made both of them slow down.

Big Monkey: "Chen Nan, if I were you, you should have just followed Hu Lu. You were injured like this but you still wanted to continue. I don't know whether I should praise you or, praise you."

It's so sarcastic that anyone can hear it.

Chen Nan still had a bad attitude: "Go ahead, it's none of your business whether I leave or not."

"What's your attitude? I don't even care about you. I'm just worried about how long your leg can last. Aren't you afraid of having to amputate it?"

"Can you care about me?" Chen Nan snorted coldly, "You think I'm a burden and you just want me to quit."

The big monkey chuckled twice: "How clever! You figured that out."

"roll!"

The big monkey didn't bother him anymore. Zhou Youguan saw that Chen Nan looked unhappy, but the big monkey looked happy.

"What did you say to Chen Nan?"

"Nothing, just some nonsense." The big monkey urged him, "Let's go, let's not waste time. Wang Ren and his group have been traveling all night and I don't know where they are. Don't let me catch them. I have to ask Scorpion what's going on."

In fact, everyone knew that asking would not get them any results, so they went to the program crew to check the recorded video in the early morning, but they did not directly capture the scene of them placing the scorpion. They only captured Wang Ren and others moving forward, while Lao Gui was blocked by them from behind, so they could not see clearly what he did.

How can they question without direct evidence? They can only endure it.

"But they only have half of the map. We do have Wei Wei, the living map, but they don't have Wei Wei's talent. If they just walk like this, aren't they afraid of going in the wrong direction?"

Zhou Youlan was also puzzled. Wang Ren and his companions never traveled with them, but they could always find them. They must have some skills.

He suddenly remembered the animal trap that Zhao Guanjun fell into yesterday. Something seemed to be approaching vaguely in his mind, but he couldn't connect the dots for a while.

They didn't dare to complain of hunger until noon, but they happened to come across a banana grove. The fruits were not fully ripe yet, but bananas can be stored, so they cut some and took them with them, maybe they could eat them later.

Wei Wei pulled apart the banana leaves and ate a few of the banana hearts. They didn’t taste very good, but they were enough to fill his stomach and save some energy.

When everyone saw that he dared to swallow it, they followed suit and peeled it out to eat.

Zhang Longtong was in agony as he ate. "Brother Wei, do you want to make a new bow and arrow? This time, you teach us how to make it, and we can work together to make a few more. Eating these vegetarian foods every day is turning my face green."

They had indeed not eaten meat for several days, and the taste was bland and bitter in their mouths. Now, when they saw a living thing, they had the urge to eat it raw.

"The tree branch materials here are too time-consuming to make."

Unlike the tough Nutuo tree, it is very difficult to find a suitable piece of wood to make the bow body, and making it also affects the speed of travel.

They had already spent more than twenty days, and the deadline was just over a month away, but they had just entered the rainforest and had not even covered two-thirds of the distance.

It started raining again, and everyone hurriedly picked up their raincoats and covered themselves with them.

Zhou Youlan asked: "Wei Wei, which direction should we go next?"

They were surrounded by vegetation as tall as a person, which blocked their view from far away. The trees were not as dense as those in front, but it was still difficult to tell the direction.

The sun was still in the sky, but dark clouds were approaching in the distance. Wei Wei was worried that the weather would change and it would be difficult to find the direction, so he had to climb a tree to look.

Wei Wei turned his dagger over and chopped off a branch. He used the tree beside him to jump up, and while climbing up, he cut away the leaves that blocked his view and climbed to the top.

He stepped on the branches in the rain and glanced around. He had a direction in mind and quickly turned down. He took the branches and skillfully and subconsciously made a sword flower and put it back behind him.

Zhao Guanjun widened his eyes and excitedly pushed away Zhang Longtong who was supporting him. He saw it again, and this time he saw it clearly.

Is this something a human can do? Everyone wondered.

Chen Nan's mouth dropped open in shock. How had he dared to provoke Wei Wei time and time again before...

Wei Wei gently lifted the brim of his hat with his fingers and looked up at Zhou Youguan. "Five kilometers ahead, there's a body of water. I don't know how long this rain will last. I'm afraid the river will rise if it continues for too long."

"Are we going to cross that river?"

Wei Wei: "That's right."

This is a bit troublesome.

They had no boats to get them across, and even if they had made a raft, there was no guarantee they would be able to cross if the river rose.

"Can we take a detour? If so, how far is it?"

Wei Wei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but this detour will add two days to the journey."

Moreover, they could not delay along the way and could only take a short rest, otherwise it would take them three days to round the river area.

In the end, everyone unanimously decided to take a detour because the wounded's wounds could not get wet. If they could not reach the other side of the river in one day, they would have to float on the water. If they encountered bad weather such as rain, they would only put themselves in danger.

After changing direction, everyone didn't dare to stop and continued moving forward in the rain, but not long after walking, they realized that it was only a localized rain.

"I will never set foot in a place like this again in my lifetime. This tattered raincoat is so useless." Ruan Mengmeng's clothes became increasingly tangled, her emotions on the verge of a meltdown. "Such insane weather, such a self-torturing journey, I swear I never want to experience this again in my lifetime!"

The big monkey also hates this raincoat. It is too big and difficult to keep organized. When the branches and leaves dry up, they will prick the skin. If it weren't for the fact that there is really nothing to keep out the rain, I really wouldn't want to use it.

"If you can't stand it, just quit," Zhao Guanjun said. "You're already amazing for persisting until now."

Ruan Mengmeng was firm: "I won't leave!"

She lowered her eyes: "Compared to going out and suffering that kind of suffering, the suffering here is nothing."

"If my brother leaves, I'll leave too." The big monkey called out to Zhou Youguan, "Brother, why don't we just quit?"

Zhou Youguan didn't bother to pay attention to the big monkey. He tied up his raincoat and hung it on his backpack. For some reason, he asked Wei Wei, "If I quit the program now, would you still keep going?"

[Hey hey hey what’s going on? Why should I watch if you guys quit?]

[No quitting, no quitting! I don't want to see Wang Ren and his group take first place.]

[Don’t let it be the end where no one from the celebrity group is left. That would be a bit embarrassing.]

[Don't quit! We've only just started. If you leave, we won't know when we'll see your show again.]

[Go ahead and leave. Just let Wei Wei stay. I'd be happy watching this show even if he's the only one left.]

The director must be panicking. If they all quit, what's the point of this show?

Wei Wei blinked lightly: "No."

This is the truth.

The young master has already retired, so what is he staying here for?

Although the program team's bonus was generous, he had signed a contract with Assistant Zhou. Secondly, he could not get the bonus personally. He was temporarily arranged to join the team, and the Zhou family had tampered with his identity information, so the large sum of money could not be directly transferred to him. The bonus would eventually go to Assistant Zhou.

Assistant Zhou also explicitly asked him to protect Zhou Youlan in order to get the bonus.

So how long he can stay in this show depends entirely on how long Zhou Youlan stays.

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Zhou Youguan's lips twitched slightly and couldn't help but curl up.

Sure enough, Wei Wei still put him first in his heart.

That's why he treated Wang Ren coldly and rejected Hu Lu, it was all for him.

The branches Zhang Long used to tie the raincoat broke, and he looked around and could only weave a new one.

He reached forward to pull out the weeds and felt something blowing on his forehead. The breath was warm and much heavier than a human's breathing.

He touched the sun on his forehead and felt as if he was dizzy for a moment. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. The tiger head in the grass was staring at him.

His brain was slow to react for a few seconds, and he screamed and stepped back, but his legs went weak and he stumbled. A tiger hiding in the bushes poked its head out, opened its mouth wide and roared at him.

Zhang Longtong was so frightened that he held his breath tightly and fainted.

Only then did the others see clearly what it was. Wang Daodao, who was closest to Zhang Longtong, widened his eyes, his breathing stopped for a moment, and he even forgot to run away.

However, Ruan Mengmeng and a few others who were a little further away were the first to react and ran away in fear.

The macaques were too busy collecting their messy raincoats to bother with anything else. They pushed Zhou Youguan and tried to run away. "How could there be tigers in the rainforest? This is outrageous!"

Zhou Youguan pushed him forward instead: "Hurry up."

"Hey brother, what are you doing?!"

Zhang Longtong was still lying there. They all ran away. What should Zhang Longtong do?

The tiger was obviously also suddenly disturbed by them, and their frightened and noisy screams made it even more aggressive.

It jumped out of the grass, only one or two steps away from Zhang Longtong, and everyone couldn't help but gasp.
