"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be really hard to imagine that someone could be this unlucky. It's truly unbelievable."

"Oh no! Group E is completely wiped out too. Now only Groups A, C, and D are left, with eight people still competing."

Who do you think will be the next one eliminated?

"I think the next one to be eliminated is Cheng Yi from Group D. He's the only one left in their organization, so he has a higher chance of being eliminated."

"In a competition, no one can predict the outcome until the very last moment. The elimination of Group E was unexpected, but it also illustrates the cruelty and uncertainty of the competition."

"Let's see which group will have the last laugh."

........

"Whoosh! Crackling!" A burst of fireworks flashed across the sky above Jinsha Island, meaning another contestant was about to be eliminated.

Inside the shelter at Group D's camp.

Cheng Yi looked at the fireworks in the sky, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

“Another person has left. Judging from the position and distance, someone from Group E has been eliminated. Group E already only had one person left, and now they're all wiped out,” Cheng Yi said in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Cheng Yi was the only one left in his group, and there was no food left in the shelter. He stood up, walked to the makeshift fire, and poked at the dying flames with a dry branch. Sparks flew everywhere, but they couldn't warm the cold night.

Looking back on the hardships he has endured, from the initial confusion upon arriving on the deserted island, to the days of fighting side by side with his teammates, and now to fighting alone, Cheng Yi felt a mix of emotions.

But his survival instinct told him that he couldn't stop, he couldn't give up hope.

However, humans are social creatures, and when one person tries to survive alone, loneliness, solitude, and hunger are like the biting winter wind, relentlessly eroding Cheng Yi's heart.

Cheng Yi sometimes wonders whether it's necessary for him to keep going, and what the point of continuing is.

For the championship? For that ten million? For fame? Or to prove himself? It doesn't seem like it's worth it.

He can compete with the chubby girl in Group A. Ten million is not a lot for him, but it is not a small amount either. However, if he takes on a few more movies, the money will come.

For fame? He's already made it to the last few contestants, and must have garnered a lot of popularity and fans. He's been on "Stranded to Survive" for over forty days, and he's proven himself.

Since it wasn't for the championship, for fame, or to prove himself, was there any point in continuing? With no hope of winning, having to go hungry, and enduring mental torment, Cheng Yi couldn't help but fall into deep self-doubt.

“Then there’s no point in continuing,” Cheng Yi murmured to himself, his voice low and weak, convinced by this thought.

The surrounding silence was like an abyss, swallowing his words, leaving only the sound of his heartbeat echoing in his ears, reminding him of his existence.

"I want to withdraw from the competition." Having thought it through, Cheng Yi no longer hesitated and immediately shouted loudly.

This shout seemed to release a long-standing burden from Cheng Yi's chest, making him feel an unprecedented sense of relief.

However, this ease did not last long, followed by a complex emotion—a sense of relief and liberation.

He looked around the shelter, the temporary place where he had lived for about forty days, and felt reluctant to leave.

Cheng Yi took a deep breath, trying to transform his reluctance into motivation to move forward.

He understood that although choosing to withdraw from the competition meant giving up the challenges and potential glory, it did not mean that he was giving up his entire life.

On this deserted island, he learned how to survive in adversity and how to find strength in solitude—experiences far more valuable than any trophy or prize money.

He stood up and began packing his simple luggage, each item carrying memories of this special journey.

"Cheng Yi, are you sure you want to withdraw from the competition?" At this moment, He Jiong's voice came from a drone confirming the news.

"Teacher He, after much consideration, I have decided to withdraw from the competition."

To be honest, I came to participate in this program to repay a favor, but in these forty-plus days, I discovered my true longing for nature, for survival, and for challenges deep in my heart.

These forty days of survival have made me re-examine my life and goals.

I've discovered that what truly brings me joy isn't the moment I stand on the podium or while filming, but rather every moment I've spent in harmony with nature during these days. I've found inner peace and contentment." Reflecting on his days of survival, Cheng Yi's eyes gradually hardened.

"Cheng Yi! Your decision surprised me, but I also admire it. However, I respect your decision."

In this competitive and stressful society, not everyone can listen to their inner voice and bravely make responsible choices for themselves.

The production crew will be on shore to pick you up in half an hour, so get ready. He Jiong's voice, carried through the drone, carried a hint of barely perceptible warmth.

Cheng Yi smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling with determination and relief.

"Thank you, Mr. He, and thank you to all the audience and staff. Although I can no longer stay in the competition, I will cherish this experience as my most valuable asset and continue to move forward. I believe that wherever I go in the future, these days on the desert island will be the most unforgettable memory of my life."

He looked around the shelter one last time, as if trying to imprint every blade of grass and every tree here deep in his heart.

Then, he shouldered his bag and embarked on his journey home. The sea breeze blew gently, as if seeing him off, and as if telling him: no matter which path you choose, as long as you walk bravely, you will surely find your own scenery.

At this moment, Cheng Yi had no regrets, only boundless anticipation and expectation for the future.

He knew that this experience would be a major turning point in his life, allowing him to more clearly understand his direction and goals.

In the days to come, he will carry this precious memory and strength with him as he continues to pursue his dreams and write his own wonderful chapter.

With a whoosh and a crackling sound, another firework appeared in the sky, signifying that Cheng Yi's departure had come to an end.

Now, only two groups of seven people remain in the "Survival on a Desert Island" competition.

But whether it's Cheng Yi who has already left or the contestants who are still persevering, they have all gained growth and transformation from this experience.

For viewers, "Survival on a Desert Island" is more than just a reality show; it's a spiritual cleansing and a testament to growth. They witnessed the contestants' perseverance and sacrifice, tears and laughter, setbacks and victories. These genuine emotions intertwined to create moving and unforgettable scenes.
