"Oh no! Zhao Ye got scratched on the thigh by coral while diving to catch fish!" Li Xiang shouted as he ran over.

"Let's go take a look first." Huang Xiaoming glanced at Li Yinsheng and saw that Li Yinsheng was holding something wrapped in leaves. He didn't ask, but said with a rather solemn expression.

They had just arrived on the deserted island when one of their teammates got injured. The weather on the island was hot, and they often had to go into the water. Zhao Ye's wound was prone to infection, and if it wasn't treated properly, the consequences could be dire. In fact, Li Ye might now be facing withdrawal from the competition.

On their very first day on the island, a teammate withdrew from the competition, which was bound to damage the team's morale.

"Okay, let's go take a look first." After Li Yinsheng put the processed snake meat in the shelter, they headed towards the sea.

"Zhao Ye, how are you?" Upon arriving at the beach, Li Xiang rushed to Zhao Ye's side and frowned when he saw the deep red wound on his thigh.

Zhao Ye's face was pale, and sweat was dripping from his forehead, but he still managed to force a smile: "It's nothing, it just hurts a little."

Huang Xiaoming crouched down and carefully examined Zhao Ye's wound. The wound was about ten centimeters long and deep enough to expose the bone; it was clearly caused by a sharp piece of coral.

"The situation isn't ideal. Have you called a doctor from the production team?" Huang Xiaoming asked.

"They've called, they should be here soon." Zhao Liying's mood also became somewhat low. She understood that Zhao Ye's wound required stitches on the island, which would inevitably force him to withdraw from the competition.

On the first day of the competition, one teammate withdrew, which was a blow to morale.

Just then, a yacht slowly approached from the horizon; it was the program crew's rescue yacht. After the yacht came to a stop, the doctor jumped off with a first-aid kit and quickly went to Zhao Ye's side.

"Doctor, please take a look at Zhao Ye's wound!" Li Xiang shouted anxiously.

The doctor knelt down and began examining Zhao Ye's wound. He gently pressed around the wound, and Zhao Ye couldn't help but groan in pain. The doctor's expression was grave; clearly, the wound's condition was not optimistic.

"This wound needs to be stitched up immediately after we get off the island, otherwise it's very easy for it to get infected," the doctor said, looking up.

"After I get my wound stitched up on the island, will I still be able to participate in the competition?" Zhao Ye asked the staff member who had come with him, not wanting to withdraw from the competition.

"No, after your wound is stitched up, it can't get wet for ten days to two weeks. You can forget about participating in this desert island survival competition." Before the program crew could even speak, the doctor had already refused.

"Once you leave the island for any physical reason, it means you have to withdraw from the competition and cannot continue to participate," a staff member from the program team gave the same answer.

Zhao Ye was pale. He really didn't want to withdraw from the competition because of a small injury. This was the event he had been eagerly anticipating, and he was determined to win the prize money. However, he also knew that if he didn't treat the wound promptly, the consequences could be much more serious.

"I..." Zhao Ye opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. He looked at the doctor, then at the staff, and finally, he took a deep breath and made a decision.

“Alright, I’ll go down to the island to stitch up my wound.” Zhao Ye’s voice trembled slightly, but it was filled with determination. He knew this was the choice he had to make.

The crew and doctors breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Zhao Ye's wound could have serious consequences if not treated promptly. They quickly arranged for a boat to take Zhao Ye off the island.

Watching the yacht sail away, Li Xiang and the others felt a mix of emotions. They knew that Zhao Ye's departure meant their team's strength would be greatly diminished. Zhao Ye was a fishing expert, and catching fish was the primary food source for survival on the island. Without Zhao Ye, their Group A's fishing ability would be significantly reduced.

After Zhao Ye left on the yacht, the staff who followed him set off a burst of fireworks that shot into the sky, signifying Zhao Ye's withdrawal from the competition.

Each time fireworks went off, it meant that one contestant had been eliminated and withdrawn from the competition.

"Huh! Someone's already been eliminated and dropped out of the competition? I wonder who it is?" Huang Bai, who was on the other side of Jinsha Island, saw the fireworks in the sky and knew that a contestant had been eliminated and dropped out of the competition. He said with a hint of schadenfreude.

The other contestants on Jinsha Island also saw the fireworks shooting straight into the sky and knew that someone had been eliminated. But they didn't know exactly who had been eliminated.

"Sisi, Yingbao, let's go back to the shelter first! Let's not go beachcombing for now." Huang Xiaoming clapped his hands, breaking the silence.

"We only found some small sea snails and a few small crabs, not even enough for me to eat. What are we going to eat for lunch?" Zhao Liying looked at the meager amount of seafood in the wooden bucket she had collected on the beach, shook her head helplessly, and seemed to be hungry.

"Don't worry, there's always a way. Jinsha Island has abundant vegetation, so there's definitely no shortage of food. I'll go look for some, and we'll make do for today."

"Although I'm not as good at fishing as Zhao Ye, I do have some experience." Li Xiang stepped forward to comfort Zhao Liying. He then turned to look at everyone.

Hearing Li Xiang's words, everyone's mood calmed down a bit.

"Haha! Just enough for one day? Fatty caught a snake, we can eat snake meat today."

"Group A's lunch has already been arranged, but they are still in the dark."

"Fatty said that we still have to rely on me."

"I've already taken care of lunch for today."

"I already told you I'd protect you two, Yingbao and Qianqian, from now on. You'll live the high life with your little sister," Li Yinsheng said smugly.

"You didn't just go to the stream to find something to eat, did you?" Huang Xiaoming wondered, recalling how Li Yinsheng had wrapped something in leaves earlier.

"There's meat to eat, follow me." Li Yinsheng waved his hand generously, signaling Huang Xiaoming and the others to follow him.

Upon hearing that there would be meat for lunch, Zhao Liying immediately followed along eagerly.

As for Li Xiang and Huang Xiaoming, they all thought that Li Yinsheng had caught a fish by the stream.

"The stream isn't very big, and the fish in it aren't very big either. I wonder if Fatty caught enough fish for us to eat," Zhang Yixing muttered to Huang Xiaoming.

“Yeah, the fish in the stream are all very small. Even if Fatty catches some, it won’t be enough for all of us to eat,” Huang Xiaoming chimed in.

"Haha, the cult leader and the others thought the fat girl caught a fish."

"I'm looking forward to seeing the cult leader and the others' expressions when they see that the fat girl caught a snake."

Seeing that they were still dawdling, Li Yinsheng urged them, "What are you dawdling for? Don't you want to eat this feast?"

"A feast? Fatty, what delicious food did you catch?" Li Xiang asked curiously.

"Come with me, and you'll see." Li Yinsheng smiled without saying a word and strode forward.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaoming and the others had no choice but to follow.
