Chapter 64 I won’t bother with you if I haven’t woken up from the nightmare yet

In Wei Wei's impression, Zhou Youlan had never been so pretentious.

The two ran for several hundred meters before finally shaking off the crocodile. Wei Wei took a few breaths before saying, "That day, I was still dreaming."

Being able to explain this sentence was already his limit.

Assistant Zhou will definitely blame Zhou Youxuan when he sees the fingerprints on his neck. If the fingerprints on Zhou Youxuan's neck disappear after he goes out, there may be an explanation.

Seeing Wei Wei staring at his neck, Zhou Youguan said, "Oh, I won't bother with you then."

I had seen Wei Wei having nightmares before, so even though I was skeptical about the reason he gave, I still followed his advice and let it go.

It’s easy to coax him, Wei Wei thought.

Wang Daodao's wound was quite serious, the bite had exposed the bone, and his entire arm could not even move. Ke Feiyang gave him a simple bandage, but it seemed to have no effect. It was probably because the bite had hit a blood vessel, and his arm was bleeding all the time.

Wei Wei took out the hemostatic medicine given by the clan leader, ground it into powder and gave it to Wang Daodao, which temporarily stopped the bleeding.

"Thank you." Wang Daodao said to Wei Wei in a low voice, "Without you, I'm afraid this hand...would be gone."

Instead of breaking, it went straight into the crocodile's stomach, and he almost became a cripple.

He admired Wei Wei and was now full of gratitude.

He didn’t realize how important this hand was before, but when he was bitten by the crocodile just now, he realized how important this hand was.

At that time, he had no way to save himself, and no one else could help him. If Wei Wei had not intervened, his current miserable situation would be unimaginable.

In fact, they are all too narrow-minded. If it were him, he would not help someone who had slandered and despised him like Wei Wei did.

The wound on Wang Daodao's hand was truly horrifying. Anyone who saw it would find it bloody, with the flesh exposed. It would probably be difficult to heal even if it was just to stop the bleeding.

Others can see it, and Wang Daodao himself is naturally very clear about it.

Zhou Youlan said, "The bleeding from your hand wound is only temporary. In such hot weather, it's impossible for it to heal. It's likely that an abscess will soon form, followed by complications from the high temperature."

It's very dangerous anyway.

Wang Daodao shook his head. In fact, he was also very tired. It was indeed difficult for him to hold on. Even if he stayed, he would be a burden. Chen Nan had dragged him all the way before, and he already knew the fatigue.

In the end, Wang Daodao chose to quit, and then Li Rongsheng also pressed the survival button.

With two people withdrawing at once, everyone felt a little sad, but more uneasy.

"If you leave, I won't even have a companion." Ruan Mengmeng held Li Rongsheng and was reluctant to let him go.

"It would be a burden for me to stay here. It would be much easier for you to leave."

Li Rongsheng was also reluctant to part with her. Although the time was not long, Ruan Mengmeng was a very good person and they formed a deep friendship that lasted for life.

"I was originally planning a roadshow this month, but I postponed it because of this show. But now I want to go," Li Rongsheng said. "After the show, come and see my concert if you're free and willing."

"Of course I am willing." Ruan Mengmeng held her tightly, reluctant to leave. "I will definitely go to the scene and listen to you sing a song."

When Li Rongsheng left, she took off the necklace from her neck and gave it to Wei Wei. She didn't have any other meaning in it. Before, she had been trapped in the dead end of her heart and couldn't get out, so she always treated Wei Wei's kindness coldly. But what Wei Wei said later also woke her up.

She was very grateful to Wei Wei, but she was embarrassed to suggest being friends with him because, in her opinion, Wei Wei and they were not from the same world. Maybe she was not the only one who thought so, other people probably had the same idea in their hearts.

Wei Wei seems to be omnipotent, he is like a guardian angel, he even seems to not need friends.

So she was too embarrassed to say that she wanted to be friends with Wei Wei. She always felt that they probably didn't have the same magnetic field, and saying it would only make things awkward for both of them.

But worried that Wei Wei wouldn't accept it, Li Rongsheng hurriedly explained, "This was a gift my fans crowdfunded for me when I released my first album. They said it was magical, saying it was blessed and would increase my luck. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to escape death so many times."

"I... I didn't mean anything else," Li Rongsheng said, looking at the live broadcast room. "I didn't mean anything else. I really like Brother Wei, but it's just admiration and worship between friends, not that kind of thing, so please don't misunderstand me."

Wei Wei didn't know who she was explaining to.

Li Rongsheng added, "This is for you. I hope it will bring you good luck. Thank you for saving me from suffering that day."

When she was alone in the miasma forest, she wanted to commit suicide. If Wei Wei and Zhou You had not turned back, she would probably have died there. Wei Wei had helped her too many times, and this kindness made her want to write a song for him.

"You don't need to give me a gift that's so meaningful to you," Wei Wei said. "It's also the most sincere blessing from someone who loves you. With this friendship, you should be able to get through any difficult situation."

After hearing what Wei Wei said, Li Rongsheng suddenly understood. She put the necklace back on her neck and handed the other equipment to Wei Wei. "Then I'll write a song for you. I hope you don't mind."

Wei Wei didn't know that in this era people could write songs to express their gratitude, but he didn't need to, so he just nodded casually.

"Then I'm leaving. Be careful. I hope you have a safe journey and reach your destination safely."

Two more companions were lost. Although this was inevitable, everyone still felt a little sad.

Ruan Mengmeng was the only female guest left. The big monkey felt sorry for her and asked her if she could still hold on.

The big monkey sighed, "It's going to get more and more dangerous later on, and we're all injured, so we might not be able to take care of you at all times."

"What are you talking about? Are you being sexist?" Ruan Mengmeng glared at him coldly. "Do I need your protection every moment? Don't give all the credit to you men. You've been holding me back the whole time. How dare you say such things to me?"

The big monkey quickly explained: "Hey, hey, I don't mean to discriminate against you. I'm just worried about you. Don't get my feelings wrong."

Ruan Mengmeng snorted: "I will definitely reach the end, just wait and see."

She turned to face the cameraman, pulled the camera over, and shouted directly to the live broadcast room, "Just wait, I will definitely reach the end, get the bonus, and then terminate my contract with this crappy company of yours! I'm telling you, no one can expect me to trade my body for the smooth road to my dreams. When I make a comeback, none of you will be able to smell my exhaust!"

"Cool, cool, cool!" The big monkey clapped his hands, and everyone started to applaud.

Ruan Mengmeng is so bold, doesn’t she want her own star career anymore?

[I guess he's almost died so many times that he's no longer afraid of life or death. What could be more terrifying than death?]

[Huh?? Is this something I can hear on a variety show?]

This show astounds me time and again. None of the people invited are good enough to handle the situation (not in a derogatory way, I really admire Ruan Mengmeng's courage in fighting against capitalism).

[Wow!! Ruan Mengmeng, you are so cool!]

I can’t imagine how much injustice a girl has to endure in the entertainment industry. She dared to say such things in front of the camera. She must have been prepared to risk everything.

[Very good, I am a fan of her]

[I'm a fan +1, what a cool girl]

[To be honest, Ruan Mengmeng is stronger than many men. She has managed to persevere until now and survive such a difficult environment.]

[This sister will definitely go viral if she speaks out today]

…

They walked in the rainforest for a few more days and finally reached the outskirts, where they happened to meet Wang Ren again.

However, this time Wang Ren was alone. A Hu beside him was nowhere to be seen. The staff said that he had withdrawn from the program recording a few days ago.

Everyone knew that they were not good people, so it was better for them to leave. However, Wang Ren's condition did not look good. He had many scars of varying sizes on his body, but they had all been treated. He was indeed very careful about his life.

The big monkey muttered quietly, "It looks like they are waiting for us."

Wang Ren was indeed waiting for them. He had no companions, and they would be out of the rainforest in two days. There would be many dangers when they reached the plains ahead. If they encountered any large animals, he would not be able to cope with it given his current physical condition.

But if Wei Wei was here, it would be much simpler.

Because of Li Xiaohuan's incident, everyone was wary of and despised Wang Ren, and just wanted to stay as far away from him as possible so that they wouldn't be plotted against at any time.

Wang Ren saw the wound on Wei Wei's hand and frowned from a distance. When they approached, he asked, "When were you injured?"

"Why don't you go ask that blind henchman of yours?" Zhou Youxuan stopped Wei Wei behind him. "Didn't he withdraw from the program? Why is he still on our way?"

Although he reported to the program crew about his encounter with Lao Gui on the road after returning, the program crew did not see him directly.

Wang Ren glanced at him indifferently, then his gaze fell on Wei Wei, "Are there any more medicine?"

Wei Wei walked straight forward, and everyone hurried to follow him.

Discovering that Wang Ren had been following them, Zhang Longtong hurriedly reported to Zhou Youling and the others.

Big Monkey: "It's the same destination, how can we stop him from leaving?"

"But it's too dangerous for him to follow us. What if he plots against us like he did against Li Xiaohuan?"

"There are so many of us, he can't handle it all. Besides, we have Wei Wei and my brother here." The big monkey patted his shoulder to reassure him.

Wang Ren did follow them all the way, because they were about to reach the plain route. As long as they walked across the plain, they would be not far from Mount Lemaslan.

The road out of the rainforest is relatively peaceful. Unlike the center, the outskirts do not have many tall trees. Instead, there are mostly bushes. Although there are no large and dense forests, it is not easy to see clearly under your feet.

Seeing the Le Maslang Mountains in the distance, everyone raised their arms and cheered excitedly.

In fact, they kept thinking about giving up along the way. The Le Maslang Mountain they saw at the starting point was completely different from the one they saw here. They could do it.

"I remember at the beginning, some people said it would only take a month to reach this mountain range."

"Hey, who was that?" Zhang Longtong tilted his head to look to the sides. "I also remember someone saying that the director's eyes when he looked at us were very meaningful."

"I." The big monkey raised his hand. "I was young and frivolous. Everyone, please stop mocking me. I've been severely slapped in the face."

Everyone laughed, and Ruan Mengmeng said, "If it weren't for Brother Wei, we wouldn't be able to see such a scenery."

I'm afraid he would have been eliminated halfway.

"A dead horse will not make it if you see the mountain." Zhou Youguan estimated the distance and they only had more than ten days left. He was not sure if he could make it within the time stipulated by the program team.

"In fact, we are still a long way from Mount Lemaslang, and there are swamps along the way. We don't know what kind of dangers will be in the plains ahead."

Zhou Youxuan picked up his backpack and said, "Let's go. Let's continue our journey."

Everyone took turns clearing the way ahead. The bushes under their feet were dense and there were no signs of people walking on them. They were afraid that there were snakes, insects, scorpions and the like hiding in them, so they waved the grass to make noise, which could also scare away the animals under the grass.

Since Wei Wei's hand was injured, no one let him take action.

Wei Wei slowly fell to the rear to cover the rear, and Wang Ren quickened his pace to move forward.

"There are no residual effects on the eyes, right?"

Wei Wei glanced back at him, and Wang Ren curled his lips, "A familiar look. It seems your eyes are healed."

"Since you used my medicine, why don't you thank me?"

Wei Wei: "Are your men dead?"

"You asked a very direct question." Wang Ren said, "He's not dead, but you've injured him badly."

Wei Wei was as ruthless as ever, but Lao Gui was lucky enough to have given Wei Wei an injection, otherwise he would have died that night.

"You deserve it."

Wang Ren chuckled: "Aren't you the same?"

He looked at Wei Wei's hand. "If you hadn't cared about that young master, you wouldn't have suffered this. You don't know that even a small wound can be fatal in this rainforest. If it weren't for you, these people would have died countless times. And yet you don't care at all when it comes to you."

"Guess what we'll encounter if we go further?"

Wei Wei didn't respond, so Wang Ren said, "Why are there so many people? It's so noisy."

Although everyone was very tired, no one spoke except the sound of waving the grass.

In the end, only five people had the chance to share the prize money. It seemed that Wang Ren thought there were too many people.

As he was speaking, Wei Wei heard a rustling sound behind him, followed by a loud bang. Everyone was frightened by the sudden gunshot and screamed. Some people were even scared to kneel down, but they all covered their ears and turned around in shock.

Wei Wei was only stunned for a moment and was not as panicked as they were. The gunshots were right behind him, and they made his eardrums hurt a little.

He turned around and looked at the "gun" weapon that Wang Ren was holding up, with the barrel pointing to the sky. Such a small weapon could actually make such a loud noise, and it should not be underestimated.

Wang Ren raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Everyone seems to be in low spirits, so I'll cheer everyone up."

“…”

"You're sick!" the big monkey scolded. "You have nothing to do, don't you?"

"Who are you trying to scare? It's a waste of bullets."

Wang Ren put down his gun and pointed it at Zhang Longtong. "It wouldn't be a waste if I shot you. Do you want to try?"

Zhang Longtong hid behind Zhou Youxuan in fear. Zhou Youxuan stared at Wang Ren with a dark look, also trying to figure out what Wang Ren's intention was in firing this shot.

They did not provoke him, and even if Wang Ren wanted to retaliate against them, he should have done it long ago, not here. Moreover, it was being filmed live, so he should not dare to be so bold and reckless.

Everyone didn't want to cause trouble, so they had to continue moving forward. Zhou Youguan was a little worried, so he came to Wei Wei and stood between the two of them.

Wang Ren obviously began to slow down. It was not known whether he felt that Zhou Youguan was in the way and did not want to be close to them, or whether he had some other thoughts.

Not long after they walked, someone saw an animal approaching from afar, coming from their direction.

It was just that it was still quite far away and didn't look very big, perhaps because of a visual issue, so they didn't take it seriously and instead enjoyed the scenery.

The scenery in June and July is not as bleak as in late autumn. The plains are not covered with yellow autumn grass, but are covered with lush green.

Zhou Youxuan and Wei Wei had no intention of appreciating the sight. They were both staring at the animals coming in groups. Zhou Youxuan had a guess in his mind.

He turned around and looked at Wei Wei, who nodded: "It's a lion."

It was attracted by Wang Ren's gunshot.

This was exactly what Wang Ren was planning. Zhou Youxuan looked back and was about to question Wang Ren, but he found that Wang Ren was no longer there.

"Wang Ren ran away!"

Wei Wei's expression turned stern. "Move to the left, everyone, run."

Zhou Youguan immediately shouted alertly: "Run! That's a pack of lions coming over there! Don't hesitate, move to the left!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment. During this period, they had formed a subconscious reaction to move immediately after hearing the orders from Zhou Youguan and Wei Wei. When they learned that it was a group of lions, everyone ran quickly.

I don’t want to be like when I encounter a tiger or a crocodile, where I have no chance to escape when they get too close.

They are not always so lucky, and Wei Wei cannot protect them every time.

The staff ran with everyone, and Zhou Youguan and Wei Wei did not stay for long.

But they had already become the target of the lions. No matter whether they walked slowly or ran for their lives, they could not escape the pursuit of the lions.

Because since the gunshot, the creatures here have discovered these outsiders.

The lions also started running one after another, and their target was the group of people who were also running. However, compared with the high-burst animals like lions, how could humans possibly outrun them?

Soon the lions were only three or four hundred meters away from them. Everyone was in a panic. Zhou Youguan asked them to run away and not to gather together as this would only attract attacks from the lions.

Wei Wei followed Zhou around as they toured the area. In a rainforest, they might be able to hide in a tree, but on a plain like this, it would be difficult for them to find a way to escape the lions' pursuit.

Few people can endure running fast for a long time, and several people obviously slowed down.

Niu Xixi's legs were shaking, and the ground was not completely flat. He almost sprained his ankle several times but he didn't dare to stop. However, he did start to slow down, and even in the end Zhou Youguan and Wei Wei were about to overtake him.

Looking at the figure in front, the hair was flying wildly in front of his eyes as the body ran. Niu Xixi stretched out his hand while running, trying to catch it, but his hand missed several times.

"Wei, Wei Yan..." Seeing the others running away, Niu Xixi's voice was filled with tears, "I, I can't run anymore..."

Wei Wei turned around, and Niu Xixi grabbed his arm. Although she didn't use much strength, she seemed to have gained strength by being close to Wei Wei.

"Niu Xixi, run away on your own!" Zhang Longtong, who was in front, turned around and saw this scene and said anxiously, "You will kill Brother Wei if you do this."

Niu Xixi had to let go of Wei Wei reluctantly. He wanted to ask Wei Wei for help, but every time he asked Wei Wei for help, he was just holding Wei Wei back.

He suddenly wanted to be more sensible, at least to make Wei Wei worry less.

In fact, Wei Wei has always been quite cold towards him. Although he doesn't pursue anyone he likes as fiercely as before, he always has to be more restrained in front of Wei Wei. He just... hopes that Wei Wei can find some good in him, at least not think he is boastful and reckless like other people do.

So this time he didn't want to trouble Wei Wei anymore. Life or death is a matter of fate.

But Wei Wei still turned around, looked at him, and then his gaze fell on the lion group in the distance, "You take them to move, I will go to lead the lion group away."

If they just keep running like this, they will become too conspicuous and after they have exhausted their energy, they will be torn into pieces by the lions as prey.

Seeing Wei Wei running away, Niu Xixi was deeply moved as she looked at the figure.

Sure enough, Wei Wei would not abandon him. No matter who else ignored him, Wei Wei would definitely look back at him.

Damn it, he seems to be really moved this time...

"What are you doing? Run!"

At Zhou Youguan's urging, Niu Xixi hurriedly ran, "What should we do about Wei Wei?"

Zhou Youguan asked Ke Feiyang to lead everyone to move, and he followed Wei Wei's footsteps, but soon changed his target and ran in the opposite direction of Wei Wei.

Seeing him following, Wei Wei also thought of this result, but he had no way to stop Zhou Youxuan. Even if he stopped him, Zhou Youxuan would still do the same.

Two little lions ran towards Ruan Mengmeng and Zhang Longtong who were behind them. When they saw the lions running towards them, they hurriedly shouted for help.

Wei Wei took out a bow and arrow and shot an arrow at the leg of the little lion closest to Zhang Longtong and the others. The little lion fell to the ground, which also aroused the anger of the lioness. It growled and ran towards Wei Wei.

Seeing that the others were far behind, the other adult lions turned around and dispersed in the direction of Zhou Youguan and Wei Wei. Only a few little lions were still chasing Zhang Longtong and the others.

There was a dead tree in the center of the plain. Wei Wei aimed at that place, put his finger to his lips and whistled to attract Zhou Youxing's attention, then pointed to the dead tree at the other end and asked Zhou Youxing to come over.

Zhou Youxuan nodded at him, changed direction and ran towards the dead tree.

However, the lions were chasing him relentlessly, and Zhou Youxuan was having a hard time. When the lion was about to bite Zhou Youxuan's heel with its big mouth, Wei Wei shot another arrow for him.

However, when he pulled the bow a few times with force, the wound on his hand, which had just healed, tore open again, and blood seeped out from the gauze.

Blood is always a smell that can instantly excite wild beasts. Wei Wei simply tore off a piece of gauze, threw it into the air, and let the wind carry it in the direction of Zhou Youguan. The lions smelled the bloody smell from afar, and most of them turned around and chased after Wei Wei.

The lion group closest to him also became excited and chased him like crazy, determined to tear Wei Wei to pieces.
