Survival Challenge
"Uh, you..."
"I think so."
"Well, that's it."
After discussion, the production team considered that it would be difficult to catch anything from these little bastards, so they pointed out shrimps as fish and handed them a small fishing net.
"Wow~ There's a fishing net!" Yi Jingchen happily took the fishing net and immediately put the young shrimps that had eaten the beef back into the ice cave.
When leaving, he held its claws and waved, "Thank you. Be careful when you swim alone next time."
——The shrimp returned to the ocean, and never tasted the taste of the chili beef sauce from a certain oriental country again for the rest of its life.
Catching fish with a fishing net should be much easier than fishing.
Unfortunately, Aurora's nine brothers only have experience in growing vegetables, but no experience in fishing.
There are some inland natives who have never seen even a slightly larger lake, let alone the ocean.
Du Xingwei squatted at the edge of the ice cave, stretched his neck to look, "Is it really sea water below?"
The guide told him, “This place is a lake, but the water here will flow into the Arctic Ocean.”
"Is the Arctic Ocean like this too, frozen thickly?"
Li Jibai explained, "No. The Arctic Ocean is very large, and the water exists in liquid form, but there are often floating ice on the sea surface, which may be the melting Arctic continent."
"Ah? The continent will melt too?"
"Yes." Yi Jingchen frowned and told everyone, "With the increasing frequency of human activities and the greenhouse effect leading to global warming, the glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic will become smaller and smaller, and may even disappear completely."
"By then, where we live, the average daily temperature in summer may reach over 40 degrees, and in the subtropical zone it may even reach 50 degrees."
"Fifty degrees..." These delicate and heat-fearing children have to turn on the air conditioner when it is as hot as 30 degrees. They dare not imagine what kind of hell it would be like at 50 degrees.
"This is not alarmist, so panic is justified." Yi Jingchen faced the camera and called out seriously, "Since the last century, our country has paid more and more attention to environmental protection issues. Each of us can do a little bit within our ability and become a knight to protect the earth~!"
[He was so serious before, I thought the stupid Xiaochen had changed, but it turns out he is still so immature~]
[The Guardian Knight of the Earth, okay, okay, I want this Chuunibyou title]
[In fact, being a knight is quite simple. We can save water and electricity, travel in a low-carbon way, and reduce disposable items. Each of us can protect Mother Earth.]
[u1s1, Stupid Xiaochen is the most exemplary star or rich young master I have ever seen. He does not have a driver's license, and he mainly relies on public transportation when he is not working. Even the sightseeing car at home is pedal-powered.]
[Hahahahaha! Imagine a silver tabby dog pedaling a bike by itself, so cute~]
The other members of Aurora also cooperated well and, together with Yi Jingchen, called on everyone to become the guardians of Mother Earth.
As they all gathered in front of the camera, the tour guide and local fishermen pulled up the nets they had cast to see if any fish had been caught.
When they found nothing, they immediately grabbed two big fish from the refrigerator next to them and threw them in.
no way.
——We can’t let these little bastards really starve to death.
After a few seconds, the production team felt that the time was right and signaled that they could pull up the fishing net.
"Can we collect the nets now?" Yi Jingchen was full of doubt. "I have interviewed fishermen who go out to sea before. They go out to sea to catch fish for a few days or a year or two. It takes a long time to cast the nets each time."
"They are fishing for tuna. It won't take that long for you to just catch some small fish." Liu Sui gestured, "Hurry up and pull them up. Lunch time is almost over."
"Okay!" Yi Jingchen squatted down to reach for the fishing net and told his friends next to him, "Everyone, pull it tight and don't let the net fall. People often lose fishing nets in the nearby waters, and those nets will entangle seals and even break their necks."
[Seals have high IQs, and some smart ones will seek help from the SEAL rescue team.]
[Do they know that the root of suffering is actually human beings?]
[Human beings are a truly contradictory bunch.]
Yi Jingchen had some very philosophical thoughts, but soon all the philosophy disappeared.
They pulled the net up, and it was empty.
The icy air of the Arctic Circle slapped them in the face.
Nine sand sculptures, frozen into nine ice sculptures.
Liu Sui: ...
Fishermen nearby: ...
These useless guys, it’s fine if they can’t catch any fish, but what about the fish they just poured in?
You are ocean bodhisattvas, you like to release animals, right? !
Logically, they should have been allowed to continue fishing until they caught something.
But the program has a schedule and there are other arrangements next.
Liu Sui had no choice but to frown and signal them to dip the fishing net into the water first, then throw a few fish into it, and signal the photographer to take more photos and edit them later.
This group variety show will be in a semi-live broadcast format, with only the task process being broadcast live.
It just so happened that their net closing was part of the settlement scene, which was faithfully recorded by the live camera, and the fans of the group who were following the live broadcast were already laughing like crazy.
[Hahahaha, the emperor’s new fish]
[Just now, I was about to complain about the sneaky fish thrown at me from behind, but I didn’t expect there would be something even funnier]
[Survival Game (×), Brother Liu and Nine Good-for-Nothing Kids (√)]
[I went back to take a look and saw that their fishing net was only halfway fixed and not closed at all!]
[There are great, kind, people at the bottom of the sea! ]
"Brother Liu." Yi Jingchen picked up the fish that was drooping and had obviously been caught for a while. "Are we deceiving the audience by doing this?"
[I am a serious cat! ]
[Don't eat fish given out of pity!]
Liu Sui rolled his eyes at him and said, "Then why don't you catch the fish yourself! By the time you catch them, the fish will have evolved."
Liu Sui's ridicule was not very harmful but extremely insulting.
Considering the next task, everyone had to take the fish and figure out how to eat it.
They had no kitchen utensils and there was no way to make a fire. So were they going to eat sashimi?
Yi Jingchen, who hated raw food, frowned like a cat.
Fortunately, the fisherman in charge of guiding them provided a solution and took a gas stove and two gas cans from the car.
They found a way to roast the fish, sprinkle it with Lao Gan Ma, and eat it all up. There was not a trace of meat left on the fish bones, and it could even be used to make combs.
After eating and drinking, Aurora set off again.
This place is extremely cold, with temperatures below zero all year round, and many areas are covered with thick ice, so not many people live here.
The younger brothers naively thought that this should be a white desert, but they didn't expect there was a dense forest nearby.
Trees in the frigid zone grow slowly, but the density inside the tree is very high.
Organisms in cold regions generally live longer, and trees are no exception.
As long as it is not destroyed by human beings, it can grow steadily into a towering tree.
The trees here do not have lush branches and leaves, but are bare, and each trunk is like a towering pillar.
Yi Jingchen raised his cat face, looked at it for a while, and suddenly asked, "Can I climb up?"
Tian Xitu: "Can you climb trees?"
Shu Lang: "Cats can climb trees."
"The trees here are too tall. It's dangerous to climb up. Let's go ahead and look for small trees."
Yi Jingchen said "Oh" and looked at the tree eagerly.
[This must be the tallest tree in the forest!]
[I can’t imagine what a cheerful little kitty I’ll become if I climb up there!]
The program crew brought them to this forest, having actually visited the spot beforehand.
This forest is very large, but there are no particularly dangerous animals. The most common animals are small rodents, which will not attack humans.
Although it was still daylight, it was already late, so they were going to set up tents and camp here today to experience the thrill of spending the night in the wilderness.
The production team was even prepared to dress up as wild ghosts to scare them during the only few hours of darkness.
There are a few people in the team who are particularly afraid of ghosts, so the show effect will definitely be maximized.
Liu Sui was wondering whether he should wear red or white clothes when dressing up as a ghost at night, or dress up as a Western zombie.
After all, female ghosts in China don’t have passports, so they don’t have the atmosphere when they go abroad.
Just as Liu Sui was lost in thought, he heard a faint cry.
He raised his head and looked around, only to see the same trees.
The crying sound came from somewhere, faint and resentful, as if it was there and not there.
It sounded like a little girl, and was particularly sad.
"No, that won't be." Liu Sui is a materialist, but he is a little scared at this moment.
"Is this place really haunted?"
"What's haunted?" Yan Zhichen stopped and asked, "Did you hear any noise?"
Du Xingwei pricked up his ears, "Really? I didn't hear it."
"I seemed to hear it, but I thought it was an illusion."
Yi Jingchen put his hands behind his ears to receive the signal and replied, "It seems like there is a girl crying?"
"Yes, she sounds young, probably around three years old." Yan Zhichen said with certainty, "She must have lost her way."
Everyone looked at Yan Zhichen with admiration.
[As expected of a kindergarten teacher.]
[I can actually judge a child’s condition from her crying.]
Children around three years old are in the period of establishing order and rules.
They can speak, but words cannot fully express their thoughts, so when they encounter a situation, they will express their feelings through crying.
As he interacted with more children, Yan Zhichen gradually understood that soft sobbing meant that the children were in a conflict and felt wronged, while intermittent sobbing was mostly because they were scolded by their parents and threatened not to cry, and they needed emotional care.
When they cry loudly, it means they have fallen or encountered other situations and need the attention of adults.
"So, there's a child, about three years old, who got lost in the forest?"
Everyone looked at each other and felt that this was not a small problem.
Therefore, the program crew immediately decided to suspend the camping filming and find the child first.
When they began to look for her, the girl seemed to have been crying for a long time and was tired, so she made no sound.
The boys called out to her loudly, but received no response. The forest was completely silent.
This forest is very large. Once someone lost something in the forest, it took a full half month to find it.
If they didn't find the girl quickly, she would be in great danger in the foodless forest.
"Let's split up and look for it."
"good!"
After everyone made a decision, Yi Jingchen immediately turned around and ran to the back.
"Hey, that's where we just came from, there's no way it can be there."
Even if they couldn't determine the direction of the crying, they could roughly judge that it came from the opposite direction.
"I know!" Yi Jingchen took the staff's intercom while running and put it in his pocket, "If I find out, I will contact you!"
After saying that, he quickly ran to the tree he had just set his eyes on, which was probably the tallest tree in the entire forest.
He took off his coat and sweater and wore only a shirt so as not to affect his performance.
Yi Jingchen rolled up his clothes to his elbows, and his fair skin immediately broke out in goose bumps from the cold.
He seemed not to feel the cold. He chose a place where it was easy to stand and climbed up by clinging to the tree trunk.
The tree may be fifty meters tall or even taller.
Looking up from below, there are no tree trunks at about thirty meters.
Yi Jingchen could only hold the tree with his legs, clinging to the trunk tightly, and using his hands and feet to climb up like a gecko.
The photographer and two staff members followed over, terrified and not daring to call out to Yi Jingchen for fear of affecting his condition.
The woods here are undisturbed, and the majestic trees have grown for hundreds of years, with bark surfaces as rough as scales.
When Yi Jingchen was halfway up, he felt pain on the palm of his hand.
But he couldn't let go, so he gritted his teeth and continued to climb.
Finally I reached the first branch, and the climb became much easier.
He breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the branch and moved upwards, found a more stable branch and climbed up.
Although the trees here do not have dense leaves.
But it's summer now, and the treetops are covered with small leaves, which still affects the vision.
Yi Jingchen had no choice but to climb higher and squint his eyes to observe carefully.
[Fortunately, I took good care of my eyes before joining the army, so I don’t have myopia.]
[But I was rejected because I failed other items in the military physical examination! ]
Yi Jingchen was thinking about it casually, searching carefully again, and took out the walkie-talkie in surprise.
The movement he made when taking out the walkie-talkie was so big that the tree branches shook, scaring several people below.
"Mugan! Luqiu! Can you hear me?"
They didn't hear it, but the photographer who was walking with them heard the sound and immediately lowered the walkie-talkie.
Luchu: "I'm here, what's wrong?"
Mu Gan asked simply, "Where?"
After all, Mu Gan had lived with Yi Jingchen for three months and knew his style.
"I noticed there's a small white dot between the two of you, closer to the deer, but I'm not sure if it's you."
"I'll go check it out." Mu Gan confirmed with him, "About how many meters?"
"I'm not sure, it should be about 500 meters. Find a few more people and I'll show you the way."
"Okay." Mu Gan and Lu Jiu agreed and walked towards that position at the same time. Others gradually gathered around.
Following Yi Jingchen's instructions, he walked closer.
They called the girl's name again and finally got a faint response.
Several people were overjoyed and immediately ran over to find a girl with snow-white skin, brown hair, who looked cold and hungry and was almost losing her strength.
Everyone touched the child's face and it was cold.
The production team immediately took out the materials they had prepared for setting up the tent, wrapped her up, and gave her some water and food.
The girl ate some and thanked in a language she couldn't understand.
The production team's accompanying translator heard the girl's voice and said with some embarrassment that he didn't understand.
The girl was younger than expected, probably less than three years old, not even old enough to speak clearly.
What's worse, she spoke in a dialect similar to the local dialect. Due to the pronunciation problem, it was difficult for the translator to extract useful information from just a few words.
Seeing that the translator was at a loss, everyone thought of another cat who often dealt with foreigners and had learned some common languages.
"Where is Yi Jingchen?" Liu Sui asked.
"He's hanging on the tree." The staff next to him replied, "He can't get down and is waiting for rescue."
"Well."
Liu Sui should have scolded him, but he should have told him not to go up.
Thinking about the current situation, there was no point in scolding Yi Jingchen, so everyone had to go back to the big tree.
The staff used several poles to make a long stick and sent Yi Jingchen's clothes up.
Yi Jingchen put on his winter coat and was freezing cold.
He had never climbed such a high tree.
It was fine when I came up, I just needed to stabilize my body's support.
It would be troublesome to go down, and my hand was injured.
If you lose your strength, your injury may be aggravated at best, or you may fall down at worst.
Yi Jingchen was wrapped in cold-proof clothes, looking at the deep forest, with only a steaming enamel cup in his hand.
Then he took a sip of tea and sighed:
"How did I give birth to the deputy young master's body?"
The rest of his teammates rushed over and saw him sitting on a big tree fork, swinging his feet, looking quite relaxed.
"What should I do?"
"We can't leave him hanging on the tree forever."
Shu Lang said as he prepared to take off his coat, "Let me get him off."
"Don't!" The staff hurriedly stopped him, "We have already contacted the rescue team. There is not enough space for two people hanging on the tree."
Today is the weekend, but the program crew used their financial power and the rescue team quickly arrived with a ladder.
Yi Jingchen was an adult, so the rescue was not difficult. After setting up the ladder, he lay down dejectedly.
The program crew wanted the rescue team to find the little girl's parents, but they were told to contact the children's rescue center.
They called, but no one answered.
——It’s the weekend today.
"I hate working overtime," You Lingyu said leisurely, "but now it seems that working overtime has its benefits."
"Everything has its pros and cons. We have to work overtime mainly because we started so far behind. The generation before us fought for five lifetimes. The generation before us suffered for five lifetimes. Now it's our turn to make up for five lifetimes."
"Sorry to interrupt your social thinking." Yan Zhichen hugged the little girl who was gradually regaining her strength, "What should we do with her?"
Teacher Xiaoyan is good at taking care of children, but not very good at helping children find their parents.
"Wow~ What a beautiful girl!" Yi Jingchen squatted down and touched her face with his uninjured hand, "Do you want to be my sister?"
The girl stared at Yi Jingchen with wide eyes.
Although she didn't understand, she knew that her brother had just saved her, so she was not afraid.
The translator told Yi Jingchen that he couldn't understand what the girl said.
I thought Yi Jingchen could understand, but in fact, he always used the local official language in every interview and I had never heard of the dialect.
However, this does not affect his communication with the girl.
Next, everyone heard a strange conversation.
"Are you coming to the forest alone?" Yi Jingchen said, pointing at the girl, making the number 1, and drawing a little man in the air.
The girl shook her head, made an indistinct sound, and drew an adult next to the little man.
"Da-da-da? Toot-too?"
"Beep, beep, beep!" the girl gestured. "Splash, splash, ah! Squeak, squeak, plop! Whoosh - wah-wah-wah!"
"call out?"
"Well, whoosh!" said the girl, waving her hands and making a crying gesture.
"Okay." Yi Jingchen ended the interview and told everyone, "She drove to this forest with her parents. She ran out of the car to play in the water and pick flowers. Her parents thought she was still in the car and ran away."
"?"
Everyone looked at Yi Jingchen in surprise.
How to analyze these clues from that pair of strange words.
"Usually when encountering such a situation, parents will go to the place where they lost their children to look for them." Yi Jingchen asked, "Where is there water nearby?"
"Let me see." Liu Sui took the map and quickly determined that the only water source in the forest was about two kilometers away.
After the child got lost, he ran very far away by himself. No wonder his parents were not around.
Everyone carried the little girl to the only lake in the forest.
On the other side of the lake, there were a lot of noisy sounds, and many people were walking through the woods, calling out a certain name.
The girl in Yan Zhichen's arms responded to the name and flapped her hands happily.
Hear it over there and come over quickly.
The man in the lead was sweating profusely. It seemed that after he lost the child, he immediately contacted his friends and searched for him from day to night.
The man could speak the official language here, and kept thanking the program crew and taking out money to give them.
After being rejected, the man stubbornly asked them to go home and said he would entertain them tonight.
The production crew couldn't resist and considering that it was too late to set up the tent so late, they agreed to the man's suggestion.
"What a pity." Liu Sui said regretfully, "I originally thought that if we set up the tent in an open area, we might be able to see the northern lights."
“Huh?!”
"Brother Liu, it turns out you really took us to see the Aurora."
"I wrongly blame you."
“You guys are a bunch of brats.” Liu Sui glared at them angrily, “You deserve not to see it!”
Everyone was joking with each other and came to the girl's home, only to find that it was an ice hotel in an extremely cold place.
There are igloos and ice beds in the hotel, with a promotional slogan next to them: Aurora Room.
When the proprietress heard that these boys had found her daughter, she enthusiastically served them food and introduced the local specialties to everyone.
According to the proprietress, their hotel is one of the best places in the area to view the aurora, and photos of the aurora taken in the store before are hung on the wall.
To make it easier for travelers to photograph the aurora, the igloo is transparent and has an open-air roof.
When the aurora comes, it will cast magnificent colors on the sky.
After listening to the introduction, Liu Sui was completely speechless.
“What kind of survival challenge is this?”
"What a shitty luck they have!"
The theme of the group show was "Survival Challenge", and everyone was prepared to have to eat coarse food.
As a result, we ate fish prepared by the program team in the morning and had an ice stove in the evening, which made everyone very happy.
The igloo is made entirely of ice and snow, but it is not cold inside; instead, it is very warm.
They moved into the big room, and someone suggested waiting for the aurora to arrive.
So everyone looked at the sky while opening the book "To Live" they brought, and suggested taking turns reading a few pages as a bedtime story.
The audience guessed correctly, only one-third of Aurora had watched "To Live", and the other two-thirds thought it was a healing story.
After listening to a few passages, they were struck by the sadness conveyed by the story.
"His wife and mother are so miserable. He is such a scumbag."
“So, stay away from gambling.”
"I can't listen to it anymore... Wasn't he alive? How did he die?"
“So cruel!”
Yi Jingchen said lightly, and brought down the last blow of his sword.
“It’s not about abuse.”
“It’s life.”
“…”
Okay.
My friends felt depressed and couldn’t sleep either.
Everyone lay in a row for a while, and I didn't know who would lift it up first.
"I heard that you can make a wish when the aurora comes."
"What do you want to wish for?"
Yi Jingchen: "I hope the main body won't demolish the house."
"Is your wish so simple?"
"My wish is not simple." Yi Jingchen said seriously, "I hope everyone's wish can come true."
At the same time, a faint light appeared in the sky, which disappeared in a flash, like the tail of a meteor.
The next morning, after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they continued recording the 'Survival Challenge'.
Today’s task is relatively simple. As a commemoration of the first group variety show, Aurora needs to prepare a souvenir without spending any money.
“A free souvenir.”
"Can you pick up a stone?"
"Sure." Liu Sui replied, "The souvenirs should be given to your fans. Just don't feel embarrassed about it."
When they heard that they were going to give it to their fans, the brothers immediately perked up and started thinking.
Yi Jingchen quickly came up with an idea. He found some beautiful flowers and plants nearby, and then talked to his teammates.
The teammates understood and immediately started to clean and trim the beautiful flowers and plants.
Then, they dipped the leaves and petals in water to freeze them completely, and then let them freeze in ice, sealing them forever.
[Wow! Frozen roses, so beautiful! ]
【Yi Jingchen is simply a romantic genius! 】
[Now it’s the show crew’s turn to worry about how to deliver these icicles to fans in the hot summer]
[Don't say it, Brother Liu's face is almost green]
【Brother Liu: No one is worry-free (roaring)】
After making roses, a few people happily played outside by splashing water to make ice, and colorful light was reflected in the air.
In the sunshine, the nine young men were frozen in the light, looking so dazzling.
After the recording of the group variety show was finished, Yi Jingchen received the next notice while sitting on the return flight.
The announcement itself is quite ordinary, it is a public welfare activity.
But there is a familiar face on the list of guests invited to the charity event.
Yi Jingchen had never spoken to him, but because of his harsh appearance, he recognized him at first sight.
[Yo~]
[One of the five poisons is poisonous!]
