Looking at Mei Chuan Neiku's extremely lewd appearance, Kalba felt disdain and secretly curled his lip.

In his view, Japan is nothing more than a submissive dog that they keep in captivity, to the beautiful country of America.

Even today, a world-famous painting titled "Macartney and His Dog" still circulates around the world.

The painting depicts the scene of the United States controlling the Japanese cabinet back then, a story that is still talked about with great interest today.

Moreover, Kalba despised Mei Chuan Neiku for his despicable act of secretly poisoning him.

Soon, after some discussion, the two decided to split into two groups and set off immediately.

Kalba continued south, his goal being to find Lu Fan; while Mei Chuan Neiku boarded a raft and sped along a tributary towards An Lan's location at top speed.

After agreeing on their plans, the two of them, like sneaky night owls, stealthily left the live stream's field of vision.

Meanwhile, in a remote yet bustling city, in a television studio, host Yu Rui was intently focused on her post, providing a special report on the evening wilderness survival competition.

On the large screen in the live broadcast room, numerous images switched continuously like a carousel, showing in real time the difficult situations of each contestant in the wilderness.

When Yu Rui's gaze inadvertently fell on the image of Kalba and Mei Chuan Neiku, her expression instantly froze, and her originally vibrant face was replaced by solemnity.

The malicious expressions on their faces and the malicious intent in their eyes towards Lu Fan and An Lan made her acutely aware of the seriousness of the situation, and a sense of unease quietly spread in her heart.

In the live stream, viewers also noticed this at the same time, and the screen instantly filled with comments:

"Holy crap, Kalba and Meichuan Neku have actually reunited!"

"They definitely want to harm the great god Lu Fan, how despicable!"

"Quickly remind him, we can't let them succeed!"

"How can I remind you in the middle of the night? It's driving me crazy!"

Yu Rui's heart began to pound violently. She knew all too well that these two men harbored ulterior motives and were ruthless.

If their conspiracy succeeds, not only will the lives of Chinese athletes be in grave danger, but the dignity and honor of the nation will also be at stake, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Without the slightest hesitation, she decisively pressed the emergency contact button and reported this astonishing discovery to the staff backstage at the TV station, her voice filled with barely concealed anxiety.

Soon, a special person rushed over to have an emergency talk with Yu Rui.

"Hello, thank you very much for your vigilance and dedication. We already have someone observing this anomaly. For now, please do not make a fuss to avoid alerting the US and Japan. We will have follow-up measures in place."

Hearing the technician's calm words, Yu Rui's heart finally settled down a little. She believed that the country must have a more comprehensive and appropriate solution, but it was not convenient to reveal it before the time was right.

Meanwhile, the viewers who were frantically sending worried comments in the live stream also received notifications from the relevant authorities, and their comments were withdrawn one by one, temporarily restoring the apparent calm to the live stream.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the high-level conference room of China was so heavy it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it.

Everyone's eyes were glued to the live stream. Every move Kalba and Meichuan Neku made on screen was like a taut string in everyone's hearts.

"Let's all share our opinions." The leader rubbed his slightly swollen temples, his voice tinged with fatigue, but his eyes were exceptionally firm.

"It's now certain that these two people are targeting our athletes; their intentions are malicious." An elderly man said with a serious expression and an undeniable certainty in his tone.

"The key issue is that these two people are working in separate groups, and we can only choose to remind one of them at the moment."

"According to calculations, the 60-kilometer journey would normally take about 7 to 8 hours, given Kalba's physical condition. However, considering the rugged and difficult mountain roads, it may actually take more than 10 hours to reach Lu Fan's location."

A geographer adjusted his glasses and analyzed the situation clearly.

"Don't forget about Mei Chuan Neiku. He's on a raft, using the current to his advantage, which will save him about four or five hours of travel. With his physical abilities, he can easily walk the remaining ten or so kilometers to An Lan's shelter."

A general, with a stern expression and eyes fixed on the map, analyzed the situation in a heavy tone.

"I think everyone is well aware of Lu Fan's importance. We must inform him as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

"But Lu Fan is very strong. In comparison, shouldn't we prioritize the safety of An Lan? After all, every contestant is a valuable asset to us, and we really can't afford to lose any of them."

In the conference room, everyone expressed their opinions and argued fiercely about whether to send comments to Lu Fan or An Lan.

For a time, various viewpoints clashed, and the atmosphere became tense and on the verge of conflict.

Finally, the top leader made a firm decision: "We will not abandon any Chinese citizen. This is not based on weighing gains and losses. This is the attitude of China and our firm stance that we will never abandon any compatriot!"

Send a message to contestant Lu Fan, telling him to temporarily avoid the limelight and retreat to the northwest, while also hoping that he can rescue contestant An Lan while ensuring his own safety.

As for the final outcome, or whether Lu Fan saves him or not... he is undoubtedly our hero.

A brief silence fell over the meeting room. Everyone understood that this was the most appropriate, albeit reluctant, solution given the current difficult situation.

They had to make difficult choices under limited conditions, but no matter what they chose, they had full trust and expectations for Lu Fan.

Soon, the relevant departments quickly drafted the content for the bullet comments.

Lu Fan, who was in a dream, suddenly trembled all over, as if he was awakened by an invisible force, and opened his eyes abruptly.

[Wilderness Survival Comments (50 characters allowed per week)]

There will be an enemy 60 kilometers to the northwest, and Anlan will be in danger 120 kilometers further west. There is a chance to rescue Anlan, but if there is no chance, self-preservation is the priority.

Lu Fan sat up abruptly, his heart pounding, his emotions surging.

"Is the enemy finally coming? 60 kilometers, which means they should be here by the afternoon." Lu Fan quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.

"An Lan, 120 kilometers away... The enemy is really cunning, they have a good plan."

"If I receive a comment, it means that Anlan is unaware that someone is heading her way..."

Lu Fan's mind worked like a high-speed machine, figuring out many key issues in just a few seconds.

First of all, hiding is definitely not an option. You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever. The enemy is clearly targeting the Chinese players, so a direct confrontation is bound to break out sooner or later.

"Then there's only one way right now: rescue An Lan first, and then come back to find an opportunity to deal with the enemies here."

Lu Fan made a quick decision: he decided to go and rescue An Lan first.

After all, they were both Chinese athletes, and moreover, it was a precious life. In his heart, the safety of his teammate was of paramount importance.

Lu Fan could certainly deal with the enemy in front of him first, and then help An Lan.

But the situation is unclear now. The enemy over there could come looking for Anlan at any time. Time is of the essence, and there is no room for delay.

Having made his decision, Lu Fan quickly got up and left the room.

Hearing the noise, Big Black in the doghouse quickly got up, ran happily to Lu Fan's side, sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail.
