A mysterious tycoon spent tens of millions of dollars in Li Changsi's live broadcast room. As expected, the winner of today's live broadcast reward session is basically Li Changsi.
Tian Ye and his fans drooled with envy.
"Sister, this is a huge sponsor worth tens of millions. How about we say thank you, like, thank you, sponsor, give me a heart, and then I'll sing a song for you."
Lin Lushen chirped like a little sparrow, hehe, watching his sister become more and more powerful all the way. From the beginning when even dogs disliked her, to now when the whole network loves her, she even gained a big boss dad. Sister is awesome!
Tian Ye: "You have to dance for the sponsor or something. Sister Si, didn't the web drama you were filming require you to do classical dance? If that doesn't work, singing is fine too. I can sing for you. 100,000 yuan a song."
Li Changsi glanced at him coldly. He, is worth one hundred thousand?
"How about you perform a striptease? I'll give you two hundred thousand."
Tian Ye: "Oh, oh, oh, you really want the production team to die, this program must be shut down immediately~"
The fans in the live broadcast room burst into laughter and almost pounded the table. The show effect was maximized when these people were together, and the girls were even led by Tian Xiaoye to talk dirty.
Lin Lushen: "Brother Ye, you take off your clothes and I'll block the camera."
——Don’t be so shy, hehe, although I love watching it.
——Don't bully Tian Xiaoye, please trample on him as much as you want~
——Brother Ye, devote yourself to your career, don’t be timid, just do it!
——I think the sisters have some misunderstanding about macho men. Can Tian Xiaoye, with just a few ribs of meat, be called a macho man? Hahaha!
——Tian Ye: Are you polite?
Playing and joking aside, Li Changsi glanced at the six-member team leading the way and said, "I've been able to get 120 points on my English test recently. My speaking isn't so good, so I'll go find someone to practice speaking with."
Bai Zhuo was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "I'll go with you."
Tian Ye raised his hand: "I, I, I, I will go too. Brother Zhuo and I will be your left and right guards."
Li Changsi opened her livestream and caught up with the six-member team ahead. The foreign men leading the group saw her and a flicker of surprise crossed their eyes. Even though Li Changsi's face was wrapped in a sand-proof scarf, revealing only a pair of slender, beautiful eyes, her eyes were full of charm. Her skin, revealed outside the scarf, was as white as snow. Are all Eastern women this mysterious and lively?
Li Changsi's spoken English was indeed not very good, but she had a nice voice, and her voice was as clear and pleasant as pearls falling on a plate. When several foreign men saw that she was there to practice speaking, they relaxed their guard. This group of 20 people looked very powerful, but in fact they were all cowards.
One of them can take down a group.
After some true and false conversations, Li Changsi basically grasped their situation. The six-member team had been wandering in the desert for almost a month and were indeed looking for something, but they encountered quicksand on the way and suffered heavy losses. The location they were looking for was in the north, and they deliberately led the program crew to the north.
After all, there is strength in numbers in the desert. If you encounter quicksand again, human flesh can also be used as a cushion.
During the process, Bai Zhuo deliberately removed a bone fragment, and they took it away under the pretext of collecting it. It was basically confirmed that these people were looking for ancient relics in the desert, perhaps from a lost civilization or a treasure trove of cultural relics.
Li Changsi can now only wait for Lu Qi's investigation results.
The three of them returned to the production team. Lin Lushen turned off the volume of the live broadcast room and asked impatiently, "Is there really a problem?"
Bai Zhuo's face was solemn. "There's definitely a problem. I have to call Grandpa."
The way those men looked at Li Changsi was naked and without any concealment, which made people feel very uncomfortable. Their words and actions were arrogant and conceited. They were not ordinary hikers at all.
Tian Ye scratched his head: "But they know we are broadcasting live, aren't they afraid?"
"People who have lived on the edge of a knife for years, in this desolate desert, even if they knew about the live broadcast, as soon as they left the desert and changed their identities, they would disappear into obscurity. Otherwise, why are spies from various countries so difficult to catch?"
Lin Lushen exclaimed, "Then what are they looking for?"
Bai Zhuo: "It could be cultural relics or remains of an ancient country. Ancient countries were once born in the desert, but later disappeared mysteriously. There might really be remains of an ancient country or buried treasure under this pile of sand.
Foreign forces have been infiltrating the northwest extensively, so it's possible they've gotten some information."
In short, the possibilities are endless. I just didn't expect that they would encounter such a thing in this uninhabited area while recording a wilderness survival variety show.
I don’t know whether to say I’m lucky or unlucky.
Bai Zhuo called the old man of the Bai family for help. The four of them tacitly kept it a secret from the production team.
If something like this happens, telling Zhao Ming and others will not only be useless but also hinder them.
By noon, the group was hiking and it was dry and hot, so they had to set up a temporary shelter to rest.
Lu Qi called at this moment.
"Changsi?" The cool and calm voice brought a hint of green to the desert that was as hot as a steamer.
Li Changsi walked to the edge of the sand dune and said, "Mr. Lu, please speak."
"The identities of those six people have been found out. They are foreign forces and dangerous elements. They must have a special mission to sneak into the northwest. You just happened to run into them." Lu Qi was sitting under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard. The furry little Bichon Frise was running around the wheelchair happily. His voice was low and his words carried a hint of soothing power.
He knew that Li Changsi could bear it.
Among these six people, the guide is a spy who has been lurking for many years, and the remaining five are retired soldiers. Their real identities are spies from other countries, and they are definitely carrying weapons.
These people in the program team are like fish on the tip of a knife and lambs in the mouth of a wolf, which is very dangerous.
Li Changsi raised his hand to block out the blazing sun, and said with a half-smile, "Then I'm really lucky. I even won a 100 million lottery."
Last time we encountered a criminal group, this time, wow, we directly encountered foreign forces lurking in.
Seeing that she could still joke, Lu Qi's tense jawline relaxed slightly, and he spoke in a low voice: "Keep your distance from them, broadcast live as normal, and when night falls, rescuers will sneak into your area and take you away."
In order to avoid alerting the suspects, the helicopter could not land directly, so the rescuers could only land nearby, sneak into their location, and rescue the guests.
Li Changsi nodded. This was the only way. The production crew was basically made up of ordinary people. They couldn't compete with the spies who worked on the edge of a knife.
"Don't panic." The two words were steady and powerful, as if no matter what happened, it was under his control.
Li Changsi was slightly stunned, her thoughts were in a trance for a moment. Someone had said the same thing to her before.
It was the spring evening when she was twelve years old. There was a coup in the imperial palace. Her brave but foolish second brother wanted to kill the emperor and seize power. She woke up from her sleep in the middle of the night and saw flames spreading across the land, burning half the sky red. There were sounds of fighting and crying everywhere.
She got up and changed into a palace maid's skirt, and ran desperately with the palace maids in the chilly spring night. All the palace gates were blocked, and only the gate leading to Guoyun Mountain was unguarded, and no one dared to fight in front of the palace gate.
She ran towards Guanghua Gate with the palace maids, and saw from afar the gentleman in a Confucian robe walking down the long and deep palace road. Under the moonlight, he looked like an immortal descending to earth.
The palace maids knelt down one after another.
His face was cold and indifferent. He walked past the palace servants, leaned over in front of her, touched her loose hair, and said calmly and forcefully, "Don't panic."
He never liked the struggle for power and desire, and rarely left Guoyun Mountain, simply because she was in the imperial palace, and she walked in a hurry, so her sleeves were wet with the mountain dew.
She had grown taller by then, her body sprouting like a willow branch in early spring, revealing the hazy posture of a young girl. She looked up at his beautiful and clear jawline, tears welling in her eyes, and rushed into his arms delicately, squeaking, "I'm scared~"
Her naive and reclusive husband really thought she was frightened. He patted her on the back and gently embraced her with his wide sleeves wet with dew, his arms filled with the faint scent of first snow.
Later, of course, her bastard second brother was beheaded, and she was led back to the imperial palace by her husband. Her once noble and cold brothers and sisters cried and shouted that they had not participated in the palace coup, and knelt on the ground in front of her.
That was the first time she intuitively felt the power of authority. She vowed to make her brothers and sisters kneel forever, and vowed that sooner or later, she would be able to pick the moon from the sky!
For a moment, the voice in my memory and the voice on the phone seemed to overlap strangely.
Li Changsi blinked, suppressing the hostility in his eyes. Looking at the unusually scorching sun above his head, he said coldly, "Mr. Lu, you really look like a friend of mine."
If it weren't for the huge difference in personality and age, she would almost suspect that Lu Qi was the gentleman himself.
But if the gentleman were still alive, he would probably not want to see her again.
Lu Qi smiled faintly: "Then we really are destined to meet."
The call ended quickly. Li Changsi said nothing after he came back. Instead, Bai Zhuo secretly revealed that the Bai family had begun to implement the rescue plan, but it would take until tomorrow morning.
Tian Ye and others almost burst into tears, so they just had to hold on for one more day.
Li Changsi saw the power of the Bai family and knew that rescue would have to wait until tomorrow morning, but Lu Qi could act tonight. He couldn't help but squint his eyes, thinking that perhaps the rescuers were already around them, but they had to wait until night to act.
After resting for an hour, the six-member team said something to Zhao Ming, but Zhao Ming hurriedly urged everyone to walk another 20 kilometers.
The guests had no choice but to accept their fate and get up to continue walking. They walked slower and slower every day, and they had not yet walked the required number of kilometers for today. Except for Li Changsi who received rewards from the big guys in the live broadcast room and was able to get supplies, everyone else had to starve.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
Looking at the scorching sun above their heads that didn't even move, everyone felt something was wrong.
Zhao Ming was dumbfounded: "Assistant Director, do you think the sun is a little strange today?"
The assistant director looked up and immediately retracted his neck: "Director, everything looks the same in the desert. Are you too tired? It's already three or four in the afternoon. Hey, why is my watch broken?"
When everyone looked at their watches, the hands had all stopped moving, and the time on their phones also strangely stayed at 2 p.m.
Everyone was panicked at this moment. Is there any special magnetic field nearby?
"Changsi, Brother Zhuo, the director said there is a strong magnetic field near us. Please check the time on your watches and phones." Tian Ye came over from behind, one step deep and one step shallow. He was so tired that he sat on the ground, and his shoes were filled with yellow sand.
Rong Shu, Xuan Yiyi and the others all sat down in the yellow sand, looking at the time.
"My watch stopped, and the time on my phone stopped too."
"The compass is broken too."
"The GPS locator still shows the location."
The guests breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the six-member team in front of them became agitated.
The guide suddenly knelt in the sand, pulled out a parchment book, and began muttering strange words: "After 3 p.m., the sun doesn't set in the sky, time suddenly stops, the sand rolls back. It's here, it's here, we've found it!"
The guide shouted frantically to the five foreigners, yelling excitedly, "We found it."
The staff of the program crew were stunned. Are these people crazy?
Xuan Yiyi frowned in disdain and said, "Why are these people so weird?"
Bai Zhuojun's face darkened. Tian Ye panicked and shouted, "Changsi, what should we do now?"
Li Changsi looked at the scorching sun above his head, frowned, and said calmly: "Wait a little longer."
The sun obscured the astrolabe. It didn't count. I had to wait until the sun went down. I hadn't expected plans to keep up with changes. Now I could only pray that these people would be mindful of their crew's live broadcast and would act on them later.
The biggest problem now is that they should have entered an unknown area. I don’t know whether modern technology can still be reliable and whether Lu Qi’s people can find them!
Zhao Ming asked the assistant director to go to the front to inquire about the situation, only to see a man and a woman following the assistant director back.
The assistant director came running back, stumbling and excited, saying, "Director, please have everyone turn off the live stream. It's a big deal, a very happy one."
Zhao Ming said with a bitter face: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly. Why shut down the live broadcast? What will we do if this damn place is shut down and we can't connect to it!"
The man and woman dragged Zhao Ming aside and mumbled something. Then Zhao Ming came back with weak legs, trembling, "Boss, everyone, turn off the live broadcast first."
Li Changsi and others looked at each other and turned off the live broadcast. They saw Zhao Ming had all the live broadcast equipment and mobile phones taken away.
The leading woman said in standard Chinese, "We are going into the desert this time to find a treasure buried here. It's not appropriate for others to know about it. You will come with us to retrieve the treasure."
The guests looked at each other in bewilderment. The production crew was stunned. Treasure buried in the desert? Really? Aren't these just fictional stories and TV dramas? But considering that Li Changsi had discovered five shipwrecks on the seabed during his last deserted island adventure, what was impossible?
The staff of the program team were all excited, but due to human nature, greed and desire, they completely ignored the crisis behind it, and everyone was overwhelmed by the word "treasure".
The guests also began to discuss in low voices.
Xuan Yiyi said unhappily, "What kind of treasure can there be in this shabby place? Let's finish this and go home."
Xuan Yiyi has suffered a lot in the past three days and deeply regrets participating in this crappy variety show. Wouldn't it be nice to be a little princess at home, changing into beautiful big skirts every day, shopping, and competing with the socialites in the circle?
Now, whenever she opens her Moments, she is met with ridicule from all sorts of enemies, who ask her if her face has become rough, if she has gotten tanned, and if it is really okay to wear shabby clothes every day.
Xuan Yiyi was furious! Who cares about the treasure? She had plenty of money. She wanted to go home, get a beauty treatment, wear a pretty dress, get her nails done, and eat some meat!
Song Xingyue: "I always feel that these people are not very reliable. Even if they know there is a treasure here, why don't they go and get it themselves? Why call us to join them?"
Bai Zhuo: "Because they don't intend to let us go! And there should be quicksand where the treasure is buried. The guide mentioned quicksand rolling back earlier, so it must be a phenomenon caused by the special geographical location."
Li Changsi looked at the leading woman and asked, "What kind of treasure is this? How did you know it was nearby?"
The woman said, "It's rumored that this is the treasure of the ancient Gaochang Kingdom. Before the Gaochang Kingdom fell, the King of Gaochang had a large amount of gold buried in the desert. Why are you asking so many questions?"
The ancient kingdom of Gaochang? That was a legendary lost kingdom. Anything from the Gaochang period would be a priceless treasure today. The production crew was excited and immediately imagined getting rich overnight.
Li Changsi narrowed his eyes: "This shouldn't be your first time here."
That parchment book and the strange words said by the guide clearly showed that someone had accidentally reached the place where the treasure was and recorded the strange things that happened along the way. That is why these people would lurk in the desert and search for the treasure along the way.
The woman shouted impatiently, "If you want the treasure, shut up! Hurry and keep moving forward with us. There are still 20 kilometers ahead, and we have to get there before dark!"
Damn, the guests are complaining all the time. Why should we listen to these people?
Xuan Yiyi was about to act like a princess when Bai Zhuo stopped her with a look. With the huge prize in front of them, the production crew had already lost their minds. Even if the guests were unwilling to take the treasure, who among the staff didn't want to get rich overnight?
"Follow and see!"
Rong Shu nodded: "The mobile phones and live broadcast equipment have been taken away. These people obviously have bad intentions. We should find a way to contact the outside world."
Bai Zhuo: "I've already contacted them. Everyone, hold on until tomorrow morning, and someone will come to rescue us."
Tian Ye burst into tears of gratitude: "Brother, you are my second parents!"
Song Xingyue said gratefully: "Brother Zhuo, thank goodness for having you!"
Everyone expressed their gratitude.
Bai Zhuo smiled slightly and glanced at Li Changsi. He saw Li Changsi looking at the scorching sun in the sky. The pair of ebony eyes exposed outside the veil were calm and distant, as if he was calculating something.
Everyone continued to follow the six-person team forward. The guide was holding the parchment book and was always looking for directions. Everyone was dizzy as they followed him.
Lin Lushen pulled Li Changsi aside and whispered, "Sister, why do I feel like they're leading us in circles?"
I've walked back and forth in this desert countless times, but why does it feel like nothing has changed?
Li Changsi: "The guide is looking for directions. The first group of people who arrived here must have lost their way in this area and it took them a long time to find their way out."
She looked around and even though it was going in circles, she still walked out.
Just when everyone was thirsty and tired, their legs felt like they were filled with lead and they couldn't move a step, the desert sky suddenly darkened, and a sky full of stars replaced the scorching sun, hanging in the night sky.
The guide shouted excitedly. This phenomenon was exactly as described in the book. Day turned directly into night. They were about to find the treasure.
The six-member team set up camp on the spot, with three people taking turns on duty, staring at the guests and staff with a fierce look.
Everyone was already exhausted and they all set up their tents on the spot, complaining in low voices.
"It's fine if you can't just ban live streaming, but why are you taking away my phone?"
"That's right, I just stare at my phone every night."
"Have you noticed that the director is acting strangely today? It's like he's been bewitched. He does whatever that woman says."
Li Changsi said calmly, "Zhao Ming was held hostage and dared not speak out. They took away our live broadcast equipment and cell phones because they were afraid we would contact the outside world."
The entire program team listened to the director. Controlling Zhao Ming and cutting off the communication equipment was indeed the most effective way.
However, the six-member team did not expect that they had already contacted the outside world and asked for help.
Rong Shu, Meng Xun and others' expressions suddenly changed.
Xuan Yiyi cried, "Is this true? Don't scare me."
She hasn't lived enough, woohoo, why did she suddenly have the urge to participate in this crappy variety show.
Meng Xun gritted his teeth: "With so many of us, are we afraid of six of them? If it doesn't work, then just do it. It's better than just sitting there and waiting to die."
Li Changsi said coldly, "All six of them are spies. They're retired military personnel, and one of them can take down an entire crew. They also have weapons. Let's wait for rescue."
Song Xingyue gasped, her face turning pale with fear. Everyone looked at each other, then all looked at Li Changsi, hoping that she could have a solution.
As he was speaking, Zhao Ming came running over in a panic. His face was as pale as gold paper and he said, "Brother Zhuo, last time in the southwest village, did you contact the people from the military district? Can you still contact them now? Those people are not good people. They kidnapped me this afternoon. They brought... with them a wooden warehouse. I secretly hid a satellite phone."
As Zhao Ming spoke, he took out the satellite phone from his trouser pocket with trembling hands and handed it to Bai Zhuo.
The rescuers he found were just ordinary rescuers and were useless.
Xuan Yiyi's face turned pale: "Is there really a wooden warehouse?"
Zhao Ming nodded, feeling that his lower back was still being pressed by Mu Cang. He subconsciously covered his lower back with his hands, his voice trembling: "Absolutely true."
Song Xingyue took a breath: "Brother Zhuo has already contacted the outside world and will be here tomorrow morning."
Zhao Ming, a grown man, was so excited that he almost cried: "Leave your phone here, I'm going back first..."
After Zhao Ming left, the atmosphere became more solemn. The female guests no longer had any barriers between them and huddled together, not daring to act alone. Even Tian Ye followed Meng Xun, who looked the strongest, like a little quail.
No one dared to sleep, and stared at the night sky with their eyes open.
Li Changsi also sat on the sand pile, drank a sip of water, munched on compressed biscuits, looked up at the starry sky, and deduced thousands of possibilities from the countless galaxy tracks. After failing countless times, he finally calculated a possible hidden orbit.
All the vague and unclear directions from last night became clear, pointing to the north of the desert.
