In fact, it was proved that Director Zhang must not have checked the almanac before leaving the house.
As the program crew went deeper, the wind and waves in this sea area not only did not stop, but also tended to get worse.
The sky darkened and turned pitch black at some point, as if day had suddenly turned into night. Even the local fishermen leading the way on the boat couldn't help but look serious and nervous, mumbling something to the translator who was accompanying the team.
Sure enough, after a while, the team translator delivered the message with a pale face.
"Director Zhang, this is bad! The two locals leading the way said a storm is coming and we must urgently dock. According to the locals, this sea area is a paradise when the wind is calm, but when a storm hits, it will turn into a sea of hell, with a 60% chance of sinking..."
It was really one crisis after another. Director Zhang had just finished distributing the jar of candy and the members' seasickness symptoms had just eased a little, but they were greeted with the bad news of a coming storm.
"Can we urgently dock now? Saving lives is the most important thing. The production team's plans can be delayed."
After understanding Director Zhang's meaning, the pale-faced translator nodded and hurriedly communicated with the locals. After a while, he finally conveyed a good news and a bad news.
The good news is that there is a small island in the nearby sea where their ship can temporarily dock, but the bad news is that the island is a truly uninhabited island, a small island that even the locals have never landed on, so it is impossible to predict what will happen.
After all, although the program is called "Survival on a Deserted Island", this deserted island is not a real deserted island. It has been carefully selected, planned and investigated by the program team, and has been tested many times by local people to minimize the danger. It is estimated that at most people will go hungry for one or two meals or get sick, and it does not really involve personal safety.
But the situation was urgent now, and Director Zhang could not care less. While the locals quickly took the helm and turned the boat towards the small island, he conveyed this not-so-good news to the members.
I have to say, after this news was passed on, quite a few people's faces turned pale instantly.
"...I told you we should go to Africa to photograph wild lions. It's all your fault that the old man insisted on photographing chubby fish. Now, forget about photographing chubby fish. I'm probably going to be their food in no time."
Zhang Meng's seasickness symptoms eased a little, and his face had just turned a little red. But after looking at the situation around him, his face suddenly turned pale again, even paler than before, extremely pale.
Originally, Zhang Meng was afraid, but not to this extent. He was mainly affected by the fearful expressions on the faces of other members on the boat.
Fear is contagious and out of control. When people are most frightened, they will subconsciously seek out the most familiar people around them to relieve stress.
It was impossible to find his uncle. As the backbone of the program team, Director Zhang had already run to the front to closely monitor the situation. Apart from Director Zhang, the only person Zhang Meng was familiar with in the crew was Yu Yu who was standing next to him.
But Yu Yu is a girl after all, she must be scared. As a grown man, he puts such pressure on a girl. It's not good, very bad.
Although Zhang Meng was a bit of a playboy, he was still a little gentleman. In this situation, his family education taught him to protect ladies. Besides, he quite liked the girl named Yu Yu. She had just helped him relieve his seasickness symptoms.
Thinking of this, Zhang Meng held up a pale face and moved towards Yu Yu. They were not far away from each other. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw Yu Yu carrying him on her back, her shoulders twitching, and it looked like she was...crying?
That optimistic-looking little girl was crying? Zhang Meng couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and couldn't help but desperately search his stomach for food.
For example, how did his friends usually comfort women? After struggling for a while, Zhang Meng finally organized some words of comfort. He took a deep breath and patted Yu Yu's shoulder with a heavy face, "Girl, don't be afraid, your brother Meng is here..."
What follows will be some nice words of comfort that I have prepared in my mind.
However, the next words were stuck in Zhang Meng's throat and he couldn't spit them out.
It wasn't because of anything else, but because when Yu Yu turned around, there wasn't a tear in his eyes. Instead, his face was flushed with health. The shrug he'd seen earlier was because Yu Yu had started gnawing again, stuffing his mouth with food while staring at Zhang Meng with wide, innocent eyes, puzzled.
"I'm not scared, Mengge, are you scared?"
"..." Could he not answer this question? According to common sense, wouldn't a girl of that age cry when encountering something like this? Didn't he see that the other girls over there were already so scared that they were crying?
And, most importantly, he couldn't say he was scared. Even though he really was scared, he couldn't say it. He absolutely couldn't say it. It would be so embarrassing! He had just written a whole speech in his mind!
Zhang Meng's expression changed several times. Finally, under Yu Yu's pure gaze, he straightened his face and said seriously, "I... am not afraid. It's just, it's just... by the way, I have a little low blood sugar, so my face was a little pale and my hands and feet were shaking a little."
"You're really pitiful." Yu Yu looked at Zhang Meng sympathetically, but the speed at which he gnawed at the food in his hands increased significantly. "But I can't share it with you this time. I pestered my sister who was sharing breakfast with me for a long time this morning before she was willing to give me an extra barbecue roll to eat later. It's just one, so I can't share it with you... Even if you cry, I can't share it with you."
“…” No, he doesn’t want to eat it. He doesn’t want to eat it at all! He won’t eat it even if I cry!
But to be honest, Yu Yu really didn't seem to be afraid at all. The violent storm outside didn't seem to bring her any fear.
One could even say that the expression on her face was a little too leisurely. She munched on the barbecue roll while looking at the sky outside the boat, as if she was relaxing while having afternoon tea at home, as if she had long been accustomed to such terrible weather.
This leisurely pace wasn't Zhang Meng's illusion, because after Yu Yu quickly finished the barbecue roll in her hand, she was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly seemed to remember something. With a bit of excitement on her face, she took out a box of playing cards from her bag and put it in front of her. After putting one arm around Zhang Meng on the left and the other around Lin Ying on the other side, she said, "Based on the current situation, it will take at least half an hour for the ship to dock. We can't do anything during this time. Why don't we play a few games of Landlord? We're all here now."
"..."Friend, it's stormy outside, and our lives are in danger. Can we just play Landlord...?
The storm was expected to last for several hours. Fortunately, the local people at the helm were skilled and managed to get the boat to the shore and anchor it before the storm became particularly severe.
There was some damage, though. Several loose items were lost, but no one was seriously injured. Director Zhang, whose nerves had been tense for a while, finally breathed a sigh of relief. But he looked around, and couldn't seem to find his nephew. He remembered his nephew as a rather timid person. Could he have been frightened to death?
Thinking of this, Director Zhang couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
After searching for a few times, everyone else shook their heads and said they hadn't seen him. It was not until he asked the logistics staff who had just floated out of the cabin like a wandering soul that he got the location of his nephew. But... the expression on the logistics staff's face looked extremely strange, as if he was constipated, especially when he mentioned his nephew?
Director Zhang walked in hurriedly with confusion in his mind. After a few steps, he saw his nephew. But the next moment, Director Zhang's face became like that of the logistics staff member, with an indescribable constipated face.
In front of me, there were three good-looking people sitting around, with several funny white strips on their faces, holding a handful of playing cards in their hands, their faces flushed, and they were excitedly immersed in the excitement of "Three with one! Pair of cards! A sure kill!"
The one he looked most familiar with was his timid nephew, who was holding three white stripes and excitedly played the last card in his hand. "Hahaha, I've been the landlord three times, and finally it's my turn to win!"
“…”
Director Zhang: Who am I? Where am I? Didn't I just survive a life-or-death ordeal and emerge from the storm? How come I'm looking at this relaxing scene, like afternoon tea, strolling through a garden, or playing Landlord?!
Are those three guys crazy, or am I crazy???
