Group A campsite.

"Another person has been eliminated. Judging from the direction the fireworks are going, it seems to be heading towards Group D. Now both Groups D and E are out of the competition, leaving only Group A and Group C." Huang Xiaoming looked at the fireworks blooming in the night sky, feeling both relieved that his competitors had disappeared and reluctant to leave Jinsha Island after winning the championship with his group.

"We're just one step away from the championship. Now it's just Group C that's keeping us at bay!" Zhao Liying clenched her fists, her face gleaming with excitement.

"It would be great if Hu Ge and Wu Lei from Group C withdrew from the competition voluntarily!" Liu Yifei thought to herself.

"Let's go to the border of Group C tomorrow and see if we can run into Brother Hu and Wu Lei, and ask them what they think," Zhang Yixing suggested.

"Okay, let's do it this way!"

As night deepened, Group A's camp was brightly lit, and the five men sat together. Everyone seemed exceptionally excited and nervous, for they all knew that the dawn of victory was not far off.

However, while Group A was discussing Hu Ge and Wu Lei, Hu Ge and Wu Lei were also discussing Group A.

"The production team eliminated so many people today. Now, out of the five groups of contestants, only our group Ac is left! I wonder what the production team is thinking? Or do they not want to continue this show?" Wu Lei and Hu Ge lay side by side in the shelter, with their legs up. Hu Ge said leisurely.

"Yes, the pace is indeed a bit fast, catching people off guard."

"Could it be that the international survival competition 'Man vs. Wild' has come out, and the production team doesn't want to do 'Survival on a Desert Island,' so they've made today's variables more complicated and eliminated some contestants? Or is it to pave the way for Group A?" Wu Lei also speculated.

“Lei Zi, what you said might be true! How about we go to the border between Groups A and A tomorrow and see if we can run into anyone from Group A, talk to them, and ask them a few questions to see if we should continue trying to survive?” Brother Hu suggested, his eyes lighting up.

"What's the point of persisting? If there are only two groups left, and one of them isn't Group A, I'll still persist. But if it's compared to Group A, then forget it."

Let's just admit defeat and get it over with!

After all, Group A's strength is undeniable, and we've witnessed Fatty's luck and skill firsthand—we can't compare! Even if we give it our all, we might not be able to shake them in the slightest.

Moreover, survival, in the end, is not just about survival skills, but also about testing one's character and luck. We've already done quite well to get this far.” Wu Lei gave a wry smile, his tone tinged with helplessness and resignation.

"Okay, let's see if we can meet with Group A tomorrow." Hu Ge nodded in agreement, thinking that Wu Lei's words made sense.

Then, she didn't continue talking and slowly fell asleep.

After waking up the next day, the members of both groups, Ac and A, hurriedly ate breakfast and headed towards the boundary between their two groups.

"Hi! Brother Hu, Lei Zi, you're here." Liu Yifei greeted them warmly. Her voice was clear and melodious, like the morning dew in spring, instantly dispelling the chill of the early morning.

She stood in the center of the boundary line, her hair tied in a high ponytail, looking both capable and full of energy.

"Yifei, good morning! Fatty, Brother Ming, Yixing, Yingbao, you're all here?" Brother Hu replied with a smile, his face showing some fatigue but more anticipation.

"Let's not beat around the bush, Lao Hu, Lei Zi, now the production team only has seven people left from our two groups. Does your Group C have any thoughts?" Huang Xiaoming's eyes were sharp as he stared intently at Hu Ge and Wu Lei, clearly trying to glean something from their reactions.

Huang Xiaoming's words, though direct, instantly made the atmosphere tense.

Upon hearing this, Brother Hu chuckled softly, his eyes sweeping over the members of Group C, a playful smile curving his lips: "Brother Xiaoming, don't be so serious. Does Group A want me and Leizi to withdraw from the competition voluntarily?"

Brother Hu's words carried a hint of teasing, but seeing that everyone in Group A looked serious, he suppressed his smile and became serious.

“That’s right, that’s what our Group A is thinking. Do you know how much surplus food we have in our shelter? We still have about ten pounds of rice, seven or eight pounds each of flour and rice flour, and about twenty pounds of dried wild boar meat that we caught before. In addition, we also raise a pheasant that lays eggs every day. We’ve been taking good care of the vegetables we planted before, and we can pick a lot of vegetables to eat every day.”

Compared to our Group A, Lao Hu, what advantages do you think Group C has? We could outlast you all just by playing out the game.

"If the production team hadn't said that 'Survival on a Desert Island' would end when only one group remained, we wouldn't have tried to persuade you to surrender," Liu Yifei said, suddenly becoming enthusiastic as she mentioned the food stored in their shelter.

"In terms of numbers, it's five to two. As for luck, you've all seen how lucky Fatty is."

In terms of human relationships, when things first changed, Fatty Girl suddenly appeared in your Group C. Not only did she find you plenty of food, but she also built a shelter for you.

"Does your Group C still want to compete against our Group A?" Huang Xiaoming persuaded Hu Ge and Wu Lei to withdraw from the competition.

Upon hearing this, Hu Ge and Wu Lei exchanged a glance and then nodded to each other.

Brother Hu sighed, his tone tinged with helplessness and relief: "I have to admit, Group A is indeed far superior to our Group C in terms of supplies and survival skills. Although our Group C tried our best, we were simply outmatched."

"In that case, I'm withdrawing from the competition!"

"I'm withdrawing from the competition too!" Wu Lei shouted loudly.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Yixing, Liu Yifei, Zhao Liying, and Li Yinsheng gently patted Hu Ge and Wu Lei on the shoulders.

"Brother Hu, Wu Lei, are you two sure you want to withdraw from the competition?" He Jiong, who was watching the live broadcast, also saw this scene, but he did not immediately show too much emotion in front of the camera. Only a complicated light flashed in his eyes. He then quickly adjusted his state and asked again to confirm according to the procedure.

Hu Ge and Wu Lei exchanged a glance, both with a determined look in their eyes.

Hu Ge spoke first, his voice steady and powerful: "Yes, Teacher He Jiong, after careful consideration, Lei Zi and I have decided to withdraw from the competition."

Wu Lei then added, "This competition is of great significance to us, and we really enjoyed the process."

However, Group A has already shown its strength, and our Group C, with its weak arms and legs, can't compare to Group A. It's better to withdraw voluntarily than to suffer in the process.

He Jiong nodded slightly upon hearing this, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes. He knew that in the fiercely competitive entertainment industry, everyone needed to make the choice that best suited them based on their own circumstances. He sighed softly, his tone full of regret and blessings: "I respect your decision, Brother Hu, Wu Lei. Everyone has seen your hard work and dedication. Although we can't go all the way together this time, I believe that wherever you are in the future, you will shine and become better versions of yourselves."
