Group d.

"Jia Ling, you've lost weight too quickly, your blood pressure is 119/175, which is too high, and your heart rate has reached 120 beats per minute. Don't you have any symptoms like dizziness, headache, chest tightness, or insomnia?"

"Even without any symptoms, your current physical condition prevents you from continuing to participate in this program. You need to be admitted to the hospital for a full checkup," the female doctor said seriously to Jia Ling, her brows furrowed and her eyes revealing undeniable concern.

"No wonder Jia Lingjie has been out of breath after walking just a few steps these past few days, and she tosses and turns in her sleep at night."

"Sister Jia Ling, why didn't you tell us you weren't feeling well?" Zhang Zifeng knew that Jia Ling's health was abnormal and quite serious. Her eyes were full of confusion and worry, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on Jia Ling's hands, as if she wanted to give her some strength and support in this way.

Upon hearing this, Jia Ling gave a bitter smile. She gently patted Zhang Zifeng's hand, her face paling slightly. She forced a smile and replied softly, "I just don't want to leave this show."

"If high blood pressure and a rapid heart rate are not controlled in time, they can lead to a series of serious complications, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. You must adjust your lifestyle immediately. Is participating in this program more important or your health?"

"If the director had known about your physical condition earlier, he would have made you withdraw from the competition first. Moreover, your current physical condition is not suitable for you to continue participating in the competition; you must withdraw and be hospitalized for examination," the female doctor said firmly.

Looking into the female doctor's determined eyes, and then at Zhang Zifeng's worried face, Jia Ling felt a surge of warmth in her heart, accompanied by a sense of helplessness and reluctance. She knew that her physical condition no longer allowed her to push herself any further, and for the sake of the long term, withdrawing from the competition was an unavoidable choice.

“Okay, doctor, I’ll do as you say. I’ll withdraw from the competition and go to the hospital for a full checkup.” Jia Ling’s voice was soft, but it revealed determination.

She turned to look at Zhang Zifeng, her eyes filled with gratitude and apology. "Zifeng, I'm sorry for making you worry. I'll take good care of myself. You all take good care of yourselves."

Group E.

"Song Tie, your blood pressure is much lower than normal, your heart rate is slow, and you have lost 10% of your weight. Aren't you dizzy and weak? In your current condition, it is not suitable for you to continue participating in the competition."

Not only does he need to be admitted to the hospital for a series of examinations, but he also needs to supplement his nutrition and blood to raise his blood pressure. Withdrawing from the competition is inevitable, and I will contact the director. The doctor who examined Song Tie was quite assertive and left no room for argument.

Upon hearing this, Song Tie's face paled slightly, but she quickly forced a smile, her eyes flashing with an indomitable light, and said, "Doctor, I know my physical condition."

But this game is very meaningful to me. I can overcome the dizziness and fatigue.

As for nutritional supplements, I will pay extra attention to ensure my body can hold out until the very end. Please trust me, I have my own methods for adjusting my condition.

"I trust you. How much food does your Group E have? How much nutrition can it provide? Do you think I don't know? Are you even able to eat your fill every day? If you're not even getting enough to eat, how are you going to absorb nutrients?"

"Song Tie, I understand your dedication to the competition, but health is the foundation of everything. Your current condition is beyond what a normal person can handle. The competition is important, but your health is irreplaceable. You can't risk your health; that's not a wise move." The female doctor frowned, clearly feeling both helpless and worried about Song Tie's persistence.

In the end, Song Tie didn't want to withdraw from the competition, but the director forced him to do so.

This round of inspections has concluded.

Li Xiang from Group A has not yet received his test results, and it is still uncertain whether he will withdraw from the competition.

Yang Mi withdrew from Group B, leaving only three players.

After the physical examinations were completed, all four members of Group C passed and none withdrew from the competition.

Jia Ling withdrew from Group D, leaving four players remaining.

Song Tie withdrew from Group E, leaving five players remaining.

...

"No one withdrew from Group C, they held on, those four were really tough."

"Yes, and although the members of Group C may seem loose on the surface, each of them has their own unique skills and strengths, which may be able to play a surprising role at a critical moment."

"Speaking of which, the team spirit of Group C is truly admirable. In such a difficult environment, the four of them were able to stick together and support each other. This team spirit itself is a powerful weapon."

"Indeed, teamwork is especially important in survival shows. Going it alone may get you somewhere in the long run, but only by working together can you go further."

"Hopefully, Li Xiang's test results are not serious and there are no problems, so that he can continue to fight for survival with Pang Niu and the others."

"Regarding Li Xiang's health, I'm silently praying he'll be alright. His resilience and optimism have always inspired us all, and I believe he can pull through. After all, he's an indispensable member of Group A, and it would be a shame if he had to withdraw from the competition."

"Now, let's wait patiently and hope that good news will come soon."

"Currently, the biggest competitor in Group A is Group E."

"Upstairs, although Group A has a better chance of winning the championship than other groups, no one knows the outcome until the very end, and the other groups may also have unexpected surprises."

"I think Group B will be the first to be eliminated, and I expect they will be the first to be completely eliminated."

........

Inside the Group A shelter.

After a blood test, Li Xiang may face elimination from the competition due to gout.

After breakfast, no one had the leisure to play mahjong. Instead, they sat together, reminiscing about the past few days, the atmosphere heavy with a sense of melancholy and reluctance.

Although Li Xiang's face was pale, his eyes revealed an indomitable spirit and determination. He forced a smile, trying to ease the oppressive atmosphere around him.

"Don't be like this, everyone. The competition is important, but our friendship and this shared experience are even more precious." Li Xian's voice was soft, but every word was clear, as if a warm current flowed into everyone's heart.

"Even if I really can't continue because of health reasons, I will still cheer for you. I'm still waiting for Fatty to bring me back a championship. I did get a share of the 10 million prize money, which allowed me to retire early."

"Didn't I tell you before, this show is a huge hit? We ordinary folks have all become A-list celebrities. Who knows, after I get off the show, I might be able to do commercial performances and earn a lot of appearance fees. Don't stop me from making money."

Li Xiang patted Zhang Yixing and Huang Xiaoming on the shoulder reassuringly.

When Liu Yifei and Zhao Liying heard Li Xiang say this, even though they knew it was to comfort them, their eyes couldn't help but redden.
