After lunch, Qu Qingdai and her group of six did not stay in the tent prepared for them by the program team to rest. Instead, they specially marked out an open space in the middle of the six tents. Then the group sat together and began to seriously discuss how to get dinner.
"My friends, tonight's dinner will mark the beginning of our first head-on confrontation with the Guardians! What combat strategy do you think we should adopt?" Tan Changqing said seriously, his eyes revealing the importance he attached to this challenge.
"Well, I think we can split the troops into two groups and distribute them in a ratio of 30:30. One team will get vegetables, and the other team will get meat. What do you think?" Chao Yan touched his chin with his hand and fell into deep thought. His brows were slightly furrowed, and he was trying hard to think of the best plan.
"We only have two hours left, and we have no idea about the road conditions or the exact number of guards. If we act separately under such circumstances, wouldn't it be too risky? We might not get either of them." Lin Zhirou frowned slightly and said with a hint of worry in her tone.
"What you said does make sense. If we can't get both, we won't have anything to eat tonight. This is something we really need to consider carefully." As Bai Ren spoke, he scratched his head with his hand, a pensive expression on his face.
"I think we should proceed in a 3:3 split. If it's the first time, the production team shouldn't be so cruel as to let us go home empty-handed..." Qin Yunie blinked and said with a hint of expectation in her tone.
"Yune, don't think too highly of the program crew. Maybe they are really capable of doing such a thing!" Bai Ren said with a frown, his tone full of seriousness.
"Ah...it can't be that extreme!" Qin Yunie widened his eyes, a look of surprise on his face.
"Qingdai, what do you think?" Tan Changqing turned his gaze to Qu Qingdai, who had been silent all the time, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Qu Qingdai frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "I think we should proceed in a three-on-three split. Let's go find out the specific situation first. However, just in case, if we see edible fruits and vegetables on the way, we can pick some. Didn't the director say there are a lot of fruits in this mountain? Anyway, after two hours, it will only be a little after four o'clock. If we don't get any food by then, we still have time to go to the beach to look for shellfish."
"Well, it seems that this is quite appropriate. Let's decide it this way. What do you think?" Tan Changqing said to everyone.
"Can!"
"That's fine with me!"
“OK.”
…
"Okay, then let's divide into groups. You three girls will go to the vegetables, and we boys will go to the meat. Is that okay?" Chaoyan suggested seriously.
"Yes, no problem." Qu Qingdai answered without hesitation.
"Yeah, okay." The other two girls also agreed.
"How about this, I'll give you a backpack. If you see any edible fruits and vegetables, just pick them and put them in the bag." Qu Qingdai said as she handed the backpacks to the boys.
"No problem, then let's take a rest first and set off on time at two o'clock." Tan Changqing said after looking at his watch.
"Okay!" Everyone responded in unison, their voices full of anticipation and enthusiasm.

Seeing everyone heading towards their own tents to rest, Lin Zhirou slowly approached Qu Qingdai's tent. She took a deep breath, mentally cheered herself up, and then whispered, "Qingdai, are you busy in the tent? Can you come out for a moment? I have something to tell you."
After a while, Qu Qingdai came out of the tent. She looked at Lin Zhirou with a hint of doubt in her eyes. In fact, after spending some time together, her feelings towards Lin Zhirou were completely different from when they first met. Back then, she didn't hate Lin Zhirou, but she also disliked her. But now, she was very calm, just looking at Lin Zhirou quietly, waiting for her to speak.
"I... I..." Lin Zhirou lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Qu Qingdai's eyes. There was a tremor in her voice. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry for what I did before and for my attitude towards you. I'm sorry, sorry, sorry..." Lin Zhirou kept apologizing to Qu Qingdai as she spoke. Her voice was full of self-blame and regret.
"Alas..." Qu Qingdai sighed slightly as she looked at Lin Zhirou, a trace of pity welling up in her heart. She felt that the person in front of her was actually a pitiful person, and after thinking about it carefully, she didn't do anything too extreme. So, she gently placed her hand on Lin Zhirou's shoulder and said softly, "It's okay, I have forgiven you. Let the past be the past. It's more important for us to participate in this last episode of the variety show well."
Lin Zhirou slowly raised her head, tears welling in her eyes. She looked at Qu Qingdai and said with a choked voice, "Thank you, Qingdai. Thank you so much. I know my previous behavior was excessive. I will cherish your forgiveness this time and will definitely change for the better in the future. I will also work hard to perform well with everyone in this final episode of the variety show and live up to your tolerance and trust."
"Okay, stop crying and go to rest soon." Qu Qingdai said gently, and at the same time reached out to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of Lin Zhirou's eyes.
