Chapter 511 The End and a New Beginning
The Amazon rainforest trip ended, and the next morning, the Hua Shao group packed their luggage and prepared to leave.
"Are we going back on the same boat we came on?"
Everyone came out of the tree house and pushed their suitcases outside. Jiang Shuying looked around but found no trace of the passenger ship.
"If I'm not mistaken, that will be the means of transportation we will take in a while." Gu Wei looked into the distance, then pointed at the seaplane that was getting closer and closer and finally landed on the river not far away.
“Wow, that’s cool!
That would be great, I've never ridden on this thing before." Jing Boyan came over.
With the end of the trip to Brazil, he was about to step down as a tour guide. Feeling relaxed, he seemed even more cheerful than before.
In the end, Gu Wei's guess turned out to be correct. The program team arranged for them to leave by seaplane.
The Hua Shao troupe is now deep in the Amazon rainforest, where the rivers are dense and the jungle is deep. It is very difficult to leave quickly, and the only way is to take a seaplane.
Everyone took a small boat to the side of the plane and boarded one by one with the help of the staff.
This seaplane has three rows of seats, which can accommodate seven people plus a camera.
After everyone was seated, the plane started slowly, glided on the river for a distance, and then slowly took off.
"Look, it's so beautiful down there"
Song Zuer, who was sitting by the window, exclaimed.
“How cool!”
"it's beautiful"
Others looked out the window at the Amazon rainforest below, which was getting smaller and smaller, and expressed the same sigh.
As the seaplane flew higher and higher, the jungle and river slowly shrank into a beautiful picture. The rainforest gradually remained behind, but the memories of the adventure together remained in everyone's heart.
The plane landed at Manaus Airport, and the Hua Shao group flew back to Sao Paulo from there. Then they flew across 5 time zones from Brazil to Cape Town, South Africa to meet up with the exile Chen Bailin.
After two days and one night of travel, on the afternoon of the second day, the group drove from the airport to the camping site where Chen Bailin was.
Two off-road vehicles were running on the road in the wilderness of South Africa. There were yellow and green grass everywhere. The trees were relatively short and it was difficult to see large tracts of woods. This was another kind of scenery different from the tropical rainforest.
"Look, look, are there cattle over there?"
Song Zuer, who was sitting in the back row, suddenly started shouting while looking at the scenery outside the window.
Her shout attracted the attention of others, and Gu Wei, who was driving, glanced at her.
The driving seat on the South African side is on the right, which is not very convenient to drive. The only people in the "Flowers" group who have international driver's licenses are Gu Wei and Zhang Ruoyun, so they can only be the drivers of the two cars.
“That’s a wildebeest.”
"Ah? So it's a horse? Then why does it have two horns like a cow?"
Nazha, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also looked confused.
"It's called a wildebeest, but it belongs to the Bovidae family, a type of cattle, not a horse."
Gu Wei explained to Nazha carefully.
On the way to the camp, the Hua Shao group not only saw wildebeests, but also met giraffes, hunting dogs, and even saw a leopard resting in a tree from a distance.
On the vast grassland, various wild animals live leisurely, forming a beautiful picture under the afterglow of the sunset, allowing everyone who comes to Africa for the first time to feel the unique wild charm.
Two cars arrived at the camping site, and the eight members of the "Flowers and Youth" group finally gathered on the 10th day after the recording of the program began.
"How are you, Berlin? Are you all right?"
After parking the car, Gu Wei got out and greeted everyone first.
“It’s okay.”
Chen Bailin looks a little haggard, but his complexion is still pretty good.
"Wow, why do you look like a homeless person?" Jiang Shuying said jokingly.
Chen Bailin does have a bit of a scruffy beard. His solo journey has made him unkempt, and coupled with the relatively dry environment in Africa, his current look has a bit of a wasteland style.
"Berlin is stylish. His style is different from that of a delicate boy like Jing Bao."
Zhang Ruoyun hugged Chen Bailin.
"I'll just take it as a compliment~" Jing Boyan got out of the car speechlessly.
While everyone was carrying their luggage, they were chatting with Chen Bailin, whom they had just met. It was obvious that everyone hoped that Chen Bailin, who had just joined the team, could integrate into the team as soon as possible and did not want him to feel unfamiliar.
Especially Jiang Shuying, who usually loves to joke around and always unconsciously leads the topic to Chen Bailin.
"Where's your dog?" Gu Wei remembered that they had seen a video sent by the program crew about Chen Bailin traveling alone in Brazil.
After landing in Africa, the program crew gave him a dog, just like in Will Smith's movie "I Am Not Legend", where the man and the dog depended on each other for survival.
"I stayed in Namibia. Although Feifei was very obedient, I was just a passer-by in her life." Chen Bailin shrugged, with a hint of regret between his brows.
"Look, this is my car. I drove it from Namibia."
"Did you drive over here?
"How long will it take?" Jiang Shuying exclaimed.
"I drove for about five hours every day, and drove more than 1,600 kilometers in total."
"Wow! That's amazing! Now you can be a racing driver!"
“Super cool!”
“.”
After everyone settled in the camp, the staff gathered the Hua Shao group and announced the new tour guide for the Africa station.
On the way here, everyone speculated about the new tour guide. Some thought it would be Chen Bailin, whom they just met, and some thought that the previous tour guide Jing Bairan was a boy, so the chances of the new tour guide being a girl would be greater. Jiang Shuying and Nazha are both possible.
But no one expected that the new tour guide for the Africa station would fall on Zhang Ruoyun.
Gu Wei had known for a long time that he would not be the tour guide, because he had already told the program crew before the recording that he would not be a tour guide, but he did not expect that Zhang Ruoyun would be chosen.
It is understandable that the tour guide for the first stop is Jing Bairan. After all, he has experience and can lead everyone into the state quickly.
But in accordance with Mango TV's usual style, if the second tour guide is chosen as someone with poor handling ability, such as Nazha, Song Zuer or Meng Ziyi, there is a greater probability that problems will arise later and there will be more dramatic conflicts.
Now it seems that the production team of "Flowers and Youth" has really changed its nature. It no longer wants to cause trouble and actually plans to follow the theme of this season, "Youth Adventure".
Everyone was very happy when Zhang Ruoyun was elected as the tour guide, except himself.
"Brother, don't worry, we will help you!" Gu Wei smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Yes, relax, it's not difficult.
I'm going to lie down first. Call me when it's time for dinner. If you need any help, just tell me. Gu Wei and Berlin will help you! Hahahaha." Jing Bairan, the former tour guide, couldn't help but come over and act mean.
After he finished speaking, Zhang Ruoyun chased him and beat him.
What has happened has already happened and no one can change it.
Zhang Ruoyun also quickly adjusted her mindset, entered the state of a tour guide, and started to get busy.
In fact, among all the members of the "Flowers and Youth" group, Zhang Ruoyun can cook, drive, speaks foreign languages well and is more meticulous, so everyone is very confident in him being a tour guide.
The production team was quite conscientious, as it was the first time that the members of the "Flowers and Youth" group got together, so they arranged a free BBQ to celebrate.
This is also to allow Chen Bailin, who has suffered a lot, to integrate into the group of "Flowers" better and faster.
The dinner was very sumptuous, with chicken, lamb, pork chops, scallops, fish and shrimp, paired with unique local sauces, and emitting an enticing aroma after being grilled.
"This is called Pinotage, a local South African wine. I hear it tastes really good."
Zhang Ruoyun found a bottle of wine from somewhere and poured it for everyone with a smile.
"Where did we find this wine? Didn't the program crew arrange it for us?" Gu Wei looked surprised.
"I asked for it from the owner of our camp. After all, the director said the meal was free, so alcohol is included in it." Zhang Ruoyun praised her own cleverness.
"You have to have a few drinks no matter where you go, Ruoyun. After our show is broadcast, your reputation as an alcoholic will be confirmed." Gu Wei shook the deep red wine in the glass and teased with a smile.
"Just a drink, just a drink." Zhang Ruoyun didn't think anything of it. Drinking was his hobby, and he never thought of hiding it.
"Come, let's raise our glasses to welcome Berlin back to the team!" Gu Wei raised his glass.
"Welcome back, Brother Berlin!"
"Welcome, welcome!"
“.”
"Thank you everyone!" Chen Bailin was deeply moved when he returned to the "Flowers" team.
"I feel like I'm dreaming when I see you seven. It feels so unreal."
"Berlin said, wow, I haven't seen so many people in a long time! Haha," Jiang Shuying joked.
"Really? I saw more animals than people along the way!"
Gu Wei casually picked up a skewer of grilled prawns and placed it on Nazha's plate beside him. Nazha, who had just eaten a chicken wing, naturally took it and started to eat it.
"Berlin, do you feel that there is any difference between us meeting again and when we were in the capital?"
"It's okay, Gu Wei, you are still as calm as ever. Xiaojing and Ruoyun haven't changed much either. It's just that the girls seem to be much more enthusiastic." Chen Bailin said with a smile while eating the steak on the plate.
"Brother Berlin, are you talking about me? It's mainly because we've been together for a long time, and my true nature has been revealed, haha." Jiang Shuying has been bringing up the topic, hoping to communicate more with Chen Bailin.
"Brother Berlin, do you think I have changed?" Song Zuer's delicate voice came over.
"She is the talkative one among us!" Zhang Ruoyun interrupted with a smile.
"I have a feeling." Chen Bailin had witnessed Song Zuer's eloquence when he was talking to other people on the way here.
"Isn't that enthusiastic?" Song Zuer argued unwillingly.
"I can attest to this. When we weren't familiar with each other at first, Zul could still act a bit, but once we got to know each other, her enthusiasm became just like her words—it was unstoppable!"
Gu Wei laughed and exposed Song Zuer's chatterbox, and everyone burst into laughter.
To be honest, Chen Bailin's personality is a bit slow to warm up. On the first day of meeting everyone, it was obvious that he was still relatively unfamiliar.
However, he could feel the kindness and welcome from the other seven people. There was still a long time to go, so it would not be a problem for him to slowly integrate into the group.
