"Don't catch the big blue crabs in our mangrove forest first, catch the ones in the mangrove forest on the other side of the dividing line first," Li Yinsheng said to Zhao Liying and Zhang Yixing with a hint of a smile in her voice.

“Okay! We’ll go over there.” Zhao Liying and Zhang Yixing understood what Li Yinsheng meant. After exchanging a glance, they quickly turned around and headed briskly toward the mangrove forest on the other side of the dividing line.

In the survival show, although the production team designated activity areas for each group, they did not strictly limit the boundaries of the members' exploration, especially in the process of finding food and resources.

Group A can explore other groups to obtain food, provided that the other groups do not discover or drive them away.

"Group A crossed the boundary with Group B to catch giant blue crabs in Group B's mangrove forest. Isn't that a bit unfair to Group B? Didn't anyone in the production team stop them?"

"Upstairs, you're just being dramatic. This is desert island survival, not a greenhouse afternoon tea party. Whether it's within or outside the rules, it all comes down to skill. Group A was able to find the mangroves and catch big blue crabs in Group B's mangroves; that's a testament to both intelligence and luck."

As for Group B, if they don't want their resources to be 'plundered,' they should intensify their exploration of shelters or take action earlier to protect their territory.

"I think the fact that the mangrove forest was divided in two, with each of Ab's groups receiving half, was intentional on the part of the production team."

The show's setup is likely intended to test the adaptability and resourcefulness of each team member. If everything is constantly being stopped, what kind of challenge is there? What the audience wants to see is precisely this kind of survival test of humanity and ingenuity under extreme conditions.

"I also don't think Group A's actions were unfair. Let's think about it from another perspective: if Group B had discovered the mangroves before Group A, would they have taken the same action as Group A? Survival games are full of variables. There is no absolute fairness, only constantly changing strategies and a never-give-up spirit."

"Holy crap! Look, Wang Baoqiang is really heading towards the mangrove forest with Xu Zheng and the amateur Xiao Huang."

"Hahaha! The reason they came to the mangrove forest is actually to see where their group's survival expert fell and withdrew from the competition. They stumbled upon this place by accident. I wonder if they'll run into the Group A people when they go down the slope to the mangrove forest?"

"Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng are going downhill! Downhill! I'm so worried!"

As the discussion deepened, the atmosphere in the live stream became increasingly heated. Viewers expressed their opinions freely, with some supporting Group A's strategy and others sympathizing with Group B, believing that Group A was going to plunder the resources within their area of ​​operation.

Especially after seeing that Group B was not far from the mangroves, the viewers in the live stream were also looking forward to whether Group B would come down the slope, whether Groups A and B would meet, and the reaction of Group B after seeing that their mangroves had been ransacked.

The production team is also closely monitoring the live streams of each group. The purpose of this desert island survival scenario is to inspire the participants' potential and allow them to find ways to survive in adversity. The audience's heated discussions and different opinions are what the program wants to convey—the multifaceted nature and choices of humanity in extreme environments.

"Director, should we intervene in Group A? Or remind them that they've crossed the line?" a staff member asked.

“No need,” Hongtao shook his head, his eyes firm. “The more discussion there is, the higher the buzz will be, which is exactly the effect we want. Let them face it and solve it themselves. We only need to ensure their safety; the rest is up to them.”

Hongtao also noticed that Wang Baoqiang, Xu Zheng, and Xiao Huang from Group B were gradually approaching the mangrove forest. Now Hongtao was also looking forward to seeing if the three of them would go to the mangrove forest and then meet up with Pangniu and the others.

Now he's looking forward to seeing what kind of chemistry will happen when the two groups from Ab meet.

........

"That's where he fell and hit his head." Wang Baoqiang led Xu Zheng and Xiao Huang to the spot where their group's survival expert had fallen, pointing to the protruding rock where some dark red bloodstains remained, as if silently telling the story of the misfortune that happened that day.

The sunlight slanted across this slightly gloomy area, and the interplay of light and shadow added to the somber atmosphere.

"Teacher Liu is really unlucky." Xiao Huang, an ordinary person, sighed, her eyes full of sympathy and regret for Teacher Liu, the survival expert.

When she saw Group A's shelter, the stored food, the survival supplies they had exchanged, and the mahjong game, she had no hope that they would win the championship of this desert island survival competition.

Compared to Group A, they have no advantage. Right now, she just wants to stay on the show longer, get along well with the celebrities, see if she can make some friends, and see if she can get on the fast track of the entertainment industry.

While Xiao Huang's intentions may have a touch of pragmatism, it's understandable given the circumstances on this deserted island. After all, opportunity always favors the prepared, and she was striving to become one of those prepared individuals.

"We haven't explored this area before. Why don't we go down and see if we can find anything to eat?" Xu Zheng suddenly suggested.

"No problem, just be careful when you go down." Wang Baoqiang glanced at Xu Zheng, and seeing that he was serious, he nodded solemnly.

Afterwards, the three of them found three wooden sticks to use as makeshift walking sticks, and then carefully descended the slope at a very slow pace, for fear of following in Teacher Liu's footsteps.

"Listen? Can you hear someone talking?" After going downhill for almost half an hour, Xu Zheng's ears twitched. He seemed to hear someone talking, but he couldn't make out what they were saying.

"I didn't hear it." Wang Baoqiang listened intently for a while, and after not hearing anything, he scratched his head.

"It sounds like someone is talking. Maybe it's too far away, I can't hear clearly!" Xiao Huang, an ordinary person, also listened.

“That’s easy. Let’s just go down this path and see what’s at the other end. If we see anyone there, we’ve probably run into other groups of contestants.” Wang Baoqiang led the way forward.

........

"The three members of Group C have finally gone down. I'm looking forward to seeing Group A's reaction."

"Have you noticed that Fatty is really shrewd? When she was catching crabs in the mangroves on Group B's side, she kept glancing at the path leading from Group B to the mangroves."

"Upstairs, that's just the fat girl feeling guilty. I used to do the same thing when I was doing something bad. I was afraid of being discovered, so I would keep looking around. Hahahaha!"

"I'm really looking forward to seeing how the members of Group B catch Group A sneaking into their base within Group B's area of ​​operation."

"Haha, now that you mention it, I'm even more curious about what will happen next. Although Fatty is usually carefree, she's quick-witted when it really matters."
