The game had been going on for almost an hour, and the early spring weather was still a bit chilly. Seeing that neither side had any objections, the production team let Jiang Li and Qi Yan's teams go ashore first, and then immediately organized a tiebreaker.
The tiebreaker format is different from the first four rounds; it's simpler and more straightforward. There's only one rule: if both husband and wife fall down, it's considered a failure.
The production team would like to remind everyone: "The activity area for the extra round has been reduced to one-quarter of the pool. The staff has already marked the areas, so going out of bounds will also be considered a foul!"
Tong Zhao, worried about holding Shan Song back, whispered to him, "Don't worry about me for a while. If anyone lunges at me, I'll hold them off. You take down the other one first, just like before, all sputtered and cracked..."
As Tong Zhao spoke, he gestured, demonstrating the movements he had just made with the single-lined brush.
Dan Song laughed at him. Was he just so cute that he made people swoon?
Seeing that he didn't respond, Tong Zhao looked up in confusion, her face still covered in mud.
Taking the opportunity, Shan Song tapped Tong Zhao's nose: "I know, little kitten."
This time there was no timer; once both sides arrived at the designated location, the director gave the order.
Although he followed his wife's advice to split up, Shan Song still kept a close watch on Geng Keli, leaving Qin Chong to be dealt with by Tong Zhao.
Lacking any tokens as a weakness, both sides resumed their carefree attitude from the previous two rounds.
Shan Song quickly grappled with Geng Keli. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Geng Keli slipped shortly after they started, his body tilted, and he pulled Shan Song down into the mud.
Shan Song also locked his arm, and at the same time, he used his leg to trip Geng Keli, preventing him from getting up. Neither of them could free their hands, and they were locked in a stalemate for a moment.
Having learned from the previous experience, Qin Chong distanced himself from Shansong and lured Tong Zhao to another corner of the quagmire.
Tong Zhao was about the same strength as Qin Chong. He carefully maintained his balance and minimized mistakes. At the same time, he took the opportunity to glance at the battle situation on Shan Song's side. Both of them were half-kneeling and trying to stand up first.
But Tong Zhao noticed something was off about Shan Song's expression, and her heart sank.
He looked at Qin Chong, whose expression remained unchanged.
It was too normal; he didn't seem to really want to win. It was more like he was presenting a serious gaming image to his fans, and the performance felt very contrived... Tong Zhao frowned. He wasn't sure if he knew about Geng Keli's situation.
Seeing Tong Zhao frequently looking to the other side, Qin Chong seized the opportunity to shove him, but didn't knock him over. He simply leaned closer and whispered, "Don't you have any professionalism when you're on TV?"
Tong Zhao was worried and didn't even give him a rebuttal look. She regained her balance and turned around, but suddenly stopped. Her nose twitched slightly as she sensitively smelled a scent of pheromones mixed with aggression.
Qin Chong's expression suddenly changed, and cold sweat instantly broke out.
Tong Zhao looked at him and understood. He probably hadn't been finally marked by Geng Keli yet. Omegas are very sensitive to other Alpha pheromones when they are not marked. Temporary marking will dull this reaction. Only final marking can completely eradicate it.
However, Qin Chong's reaction seemed a bit excessive.
Tong Zhao was puzzled. Qin Chong had a mark on the back of his neck, and it didn't look like it had been there for long. Logically speaking, such a small amount of pheromones shouldn't have affected him.
After hesitating for a second, Tong Zhao turned around, shook off Qin Chong, and moved towards Shan Song.
Dansong's vulnerable period has just been calmed down, and it's unclear whether he has stabilized yet. It's also uncertain whether he will have a bad reaction if he is stimulated. He doesn't care much about what kind of house he lives in; a courtyard house is fine, or a small wooden cabin is also acceptable. Dansong's condition is more important.
Tong Zhao also secretly released a little pheromone. The pheromone, which had been fused with blood rust, quickly broke through the blockade and was received by Shan Song. At the same time, the omega's worried emotions were also transmitted.
It seems that winning or losing the game is no longer important. Shan Song, whose face had been tense, suddenly smiled and glanced at Geng Keli with a mocking look.
Geng Keli's face was grim, his eyes gloomy. His brandy pheromones targeted Tong Zhao who was approaching. Tong Zhao paused for only a moment, then continued forward without stopping.
Dan Song knew his wife could be incredibly stubborn in certain ways, so he didn't stop him. He simply used his pheromones to create a protective shield for her, and then jokingly said, "Zhao Zhao has come to save me?"
Tong Zhao's pale face made her face scrunch up, completely ignoring Geng Keli standing to the side.
Seeing the two of them like this, a flash of ferocity crossed Geng Keli's eyes. Then, he suddenly leaned forward and reached out to pull them back. He knew that Shan Song would not let him succeed, but this was the opportunity he had been waiting for. His pheromones suddenly attacked Shan Song's glands.
Tong Zhao was pulled and lost her balance. Taking advantage of the moment when Shan Song was affected by disordered pheromones and couldn't concentrate, Geng Keli grabbed Tong Zhao's thermal clothing pocket before she completely collapsed and pulled her down. Shan Song cushioned Tong Zhao's fall, and the three of them fell into the mud pit together.
The outcome is decided, and the live chat is buzzing with excitement.
Is Tong Zhao out of her mind?
Why is he getting involved? Everything would be fine if he didn't come, but he just gets in the way. I'm speechless!
【Chun Bamboo. 】
Dan Song is happy about it, but you're not.
[Exactly, they're a perfectly fine couple, does your opinion matter?]
I really dislike teammates in games who not only don't help but also cause trouble!
[Is Qin Chong feeling unwell? Why isn't he moving?]
With Dansong cushioning his fall, Tong Zhao quickly got up and went to pull Dansong up again. His eyes showed unease, and his tightly furrowed brows showed no sign of relaxing.
"It's nothing." Shan Song met Tong Zhao's eyes: "It's really nothing, it's just that Zhao Zhao will have to stay in the cabin with me."
Tong Zhao hugged his neck tightly and didn't say a word.
"Oh, no problem." Shan Song chuckled, took the microphone, and whispered, "I'll give my husband a bite later."
Tong Zhao's eyelids twitched.
Dan Song simply picked up his wife and carried her ashore.
It's a bit strenuous. Tsk, when did he become so delicate? Dan Song looked at his palms. Sooner or later, someone will research and destroy his pheromones.
Tong Zhao opened her eyes as Shan Song made his movements, biting her cheek as she watched him.
Seeing this look in his eyes, Shan Song sighed and hugged his unhappy wife.
"Who is this person? How can they release pheromones so casually? It's outrageous!" Tong Zhao leaned against Shan Song's chest, gripping the microphone tightly, her voice low but indignant.
After scolding him a few times, Tong Zhao looked at him worriedly and said, "Let's go back and take a shower." Then she added a mark.
"Um."
After announcing the results of the final round of tiebreakers and the house allocation, the production team added, "Given that there are currently too few items in the houses, the tokens used in this game are also a subsidy from the production team, and the staff have already packed them up."
"Please take a short rest and tidy up before moving into your new home. We wish you all a pleasant move-in experience."
The live stream has been paused.
Qi Yan and Jiang Li's two groups quickly came up to them: "Are you alright? What just happened?"
Shan Song said, "Geng Keli released some pheromones that affected me, but it's not a big problem. Let's go back to our room first and talk about it later."
"Oh." Seeing that Shan Song was indeed not in good condition, Qi Yan didn't say much and made way for them.
