Qi Minghao nodded after hearing Feng Jun's words, as if he had found his pillar of support:

"Let's go to sleep now, and we'll think about how to get the medal tomorrow."

The others nodded and began looking around for a place to sleep.

That night, the park was in complete chaos.

People settled down in twos and threes in various corners.

Feng Jun found a relatively flat patch of grass, laid out the thin blanket he carried with him, and slowly fell asleep.

But the insects chirping in the grass made it hard to sleep.

Zhang Chufeng leaned against the edge of a nearby amusement park ride, next to the waiting track for the roller coaster.

The helmet-like hat was worn askew, barely covering the face, but the cold wind still managed to get in through the gaps, making the cheeks sting.

The drones overhead were buzzing.

Like a swarm of greedy bees, hovering in the air.

Through the dim light, you could see the drone's searchlight sweeping around, illuminating everyone so thoroughly that they had nowhere to hide.

Everyone was treated like animals being watched, with no privacy or respect.

Chen Chen was woken up by the light and sat up angrily from the makeshift "bed".

He glared angrily at the drone overhead, then lay down helplessly.

Qi Minghao simply covered his head with his clothes, trying to hide himself completely.

Occasionally, staff members would shout instructions through megaphones in the distance, adding to the chaos.

the next day.

The sun rose and shone on the people in the park, but this ray of sunshine did not bring them any joy.

Su Muyao's dress was all wrinkled; the little dress was all crumpled up from last night's ordeal.

She stood on a patch of grass barely illuminated by the sunlight, her hair a little disheveled.

She stomped her feet in anger, kicked at the pebbles on the ground, and cursed:

"This is so annoying! My dress is all dirty. It's a limited edition dress, and it cost me a lot of money!"

Xia Wantang stood beside her, holding a small folding camping stool in her arms, trying her best to comfort her:

"It's okay, it's okay. After the first episode is finished, we'll just take it to the dry cleaners. Your dress is such a nice style, it'll definitely look brand new again."

Hearing her words, Su Muyao's anger subsided slightly, but she still frowned, staring at the wrinkles on her skirt with a look of disgust.

Soon it was noon, and the loudspeaker blared again:

"Fellow players, lunch is served!"

The piercing sound of the horn shattered the brief tranquility of the park.

Like soldiers receiving orders, everyone emerged from their hiding places.

Someone with messy hair ran out from a corner of the haunted house, brushing the dust off their clothes.

Someone crawled out from under the carousel seat, their face scratched by wood chips.

Others squeezed out of the Ferris wheel cabins, their clothes disheveled.

But his eyes revealed a sense of relief, as if he had finally made it to dinner.

Everyone gathered from various locations and came to the iron railing.

Everyone looked disheveled, their hair was messy, and their clothes were covered in dust.

Their faces still bore dried tear stains or sweat, making them look like animals locked up inside.

The iron bars were opened.

Nine boxed meals were handed in, and everyone happily opened them to take a look.

There was only steamed buns, pickled vegetables, and seaweed and egg drop soup.

"Damn it! Are you kidding us? We've been starving all day and this is what you feed us?!"

Chen Chen's expression changed, he threw his chopsticks on the ground and cursed loudly.

His eyes were wide open, staring intently at Zhou Tian, ​​as if he were about to breathe fire.

Zhang Chufeng frowned and cursed, "Can't you treat us like human beings? Being locked up in this godforsaken place for three days is bad enough, and now you're feeding us this stuff!"

Su Muyao looked at the white steamed bun with disgust, as if it were something utterly repulsive. She exclaimed loudly:

"I've never eaten a plain steamed bun in my life. Eating this kind of thing would kill me!"

[Damn, they only gave us plain steamed buns! The production team is so cruel!]

[Waaaaah, Yao can only eat plain steamed buns, what if he gets thin from hunger? I feel so sorry for him!]

[The production team is inhuman! Everyone is already exhausted, and they still have to do this!]

[I don't think the production team did anything wrong. It's a competitive variety show, and some shows don't even provide food, making the guests find their own!]

[What's wrong with steamed buns and pickled vegetables?! I think they're delicious! Those fragrant, big white steamed buns are so tasty!]

[...]

Zhou Tian smiled and said calmly, "Sorry, everyone, this is an outdoor extreme sports variety show."

"This lunch meets the standards for outdoor survival. Of course, you can choose not to eat it and go hungry."

"Just a friendly reminder, this is the second day, there's still one day left, everyone keep going."

After saying that, Zhou Tian closed the iron railing and left with his staff, leaving behind a group of angry and helpless contestants.

Yan Ning glanced at the boxed lunch and thought, "Why not eat it?" She then leisurely began to munch on the large white steamed bun.

These steamed buns were freshly made, so they're pretty good.

She used to eat even lighter meals at Qingshan Temple; a few big white steamed buns were nothing to her.

She finished eating a large white steamed bun, and seeing the lunchbox Chen Chen had placed on the ground, she said:

"Do you want to eat this steamed bun? If not, give it to me. Don't waste it."

"Are you crazy? How can you eat this?"

Chen Chen looked at Yan Ning as if she were a lunatic, her anger still lingering, before turning and striding away.

Su Muyao also put on a haughty demeanor and refused to eat the white steamed buns no matter what.

Yan Ning ignored the two of them and picked up a steaming white bun to eat.

What's a few plain steamed buns compared to winning a 50 million yuan reward?

Seeing that Yan Ning had started eating, the others picked up white steamed buns and began to eat as well.

Everyone quickly realized that while the steamed buns with pickled vegetables looked unappetizing, they actually tasted alright.

Only Su Muyao and Chen Chen hadn't eaten lunch, and soon their stomachs started growling.

Su Muyao pouted, her face pale, and she weakly asked Chen Chen:

"Brother Chen, I'm so hungry, what should I do? It's been a while, and my stomach keeps growling."

Chen Chen frowned and said, "I'm a little hungry too. Looks like I need to find something to eat. If I stay this hungry, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for tonight's recording."

Su Muyao continued to ask, her tone tinged with anxiety, "Then where are we going to find something to eat? This amusement park has been abandoned for a long time, where else can we find anything to eat?"

Chen Chen looked around, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered some treasure, and he said:

"I just saw Su Yanning in the corner cracking open a handful of sunflower seeds, and she seemed to be enjoying them."

"I reckon she has other food in her bag. Maybe I can get some food from her. It's better than going hungry."

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao's eyes lit up, and she instantly perked up:

"Really? Then let's go find her now and ask her to give us some food!"
