And just like that, the bunk bed was complete. There were no unnecessary fancy structures, and every part had its purpose. But in this context, this ordinary bed was practically a marvel, considering that no other team could have such good living conditions as Li Sheng.
Humble Xiao Jia had been away from his team's base for a day and a night and had not returned. Xiao Jia spent the whole day on the beach in the sea breeze. Without the help of flint, he managed to start a fire by himself and finally got to eat the meat that Zi Nao had been thinking about for so many days.
Although it was just some small shellfish, it brought him great satisfaction. Kind netizens spread what Li Sheng had said to Jia Xingye's personal live stream. Since the incident started, everyone has been comforting him, and he has also gained a very affectionate nickname - Little Jia.
Xiao Jia's live stream room
"Little Jia, Little Jia, a man should be self-reliant and not be discouraged."
"Little Jia, life goes on. You have to learn to be strong. Don't let that bastard Professor affect your whole life."
"Xiao Jia, if you can't keep going, just quit the competition, report him, and get a different mentor."
"Yes, it's not worth ruining your life for someone like that."
...
Upon seeing this, Comrade Xiao Jia gave a bleak smile, which made everyone feel even more sorry for him. Li Sheng's comments struck a chord with him.
He had always understood that it was because he was too cowardly. If he had bravely stood up and said no from the beginning, he wouldn't have been in a passive and manipulated state all this time. He also knew that Wang Guoqiang was extremely petty, and now that things had come to this, it would be even more difficult for him to graduate from Wang Guoqiang's care.
So he made a huge decision in his heart: at worst, he could give up his postgraduate studies, go home to farm and inherit the family business. Although farming thousands of acres of land with his father was tiring, physical exhaustion was better than being humiliated outside. He wasn't without a way out; he might as well not continue his studies!
Xiao Jia became increasingly silent, his expressionless face making it impossible to guess what he was up to. The flames of the bonfire danced wildly in his eyes, seemingly foreshadowing something.
right!
He wanted to get revenge. He wanted to make Wang Guoqiang suffer a great loss and teach him a lesson that would hurt. Having been by the professor's side for so long, he knew very well what Wang Guoqiang's goal was.
He simply wanted both fame and money. Now that he had lost his fame, all that was left was money. He could earn 500,000 yuan by completing a month-long challenge. He wanted to make that prize money so close yet slip through his fingers. He also wanted Wang Guoqiang to taste what it felt like to hate someone. He was not cowardly. He just didn't want to let down his family, who had worked so hard to grow crops, sell vegetables and fruits, and spend the money they had spent on his education.
Originally, Wang Yao and Yang Xiaoxiao were at odds behind each other's backs, but these past few days they've been unusually harmonious. Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaoxiao's hands are so skillful that she wove a small flower basket from the soft plant vines and showed it to everyone. This little flower basket is extremely useful; it can be used to hold seafood when going beachcombing and also to pick fruit.
Everyone was praising Yang Xiaoxiao for being so virtuous, but Yang Xiaoxiao was just putting on a brave face and acting. Even though she usually tried to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, she had gotten much darker and her back was peeling badly from sunburn.
Several of her eyelashes had fallen out, and if you looked closely, you could see that they were incomplete. Fortunately, Yang Xiaoxiao's older brothers didn't focus on the details. Even though she was tanned, her delicate features and seemingly natural red lips made her still the older brothers' girl. Her curvaceous figure seemed even sexier after being tanned.
Wang Yao had become immune to the criticism and no longer even glanced at the live stream. From then on, he focused all his attention on survival. Every day, he distilled seawater while searching for plants nearby to replenish his water supply. Although he didn't distill much water each day, it was barely enough unless there were any major events.
However, the body had not replenished enough water and kept sending dehydration signals to the brain, making it feel very uncomfortable. In the end, it had no choice but to explore deeper into the forest to find a water source.
Meanwhile, Yu Qiang and Yu Tian built a complete shelter near the water source in the forest. With the experience from the first shelter, the second shelter was a great improvement.
The shelter was covered with a thick layer of very soft dry grass, but unfortunately, they lost two arrows.
They encountered a large prey, and both arrows they fired failed to hit it, allowing the prey to escape and take two arrows with it. Now they only had three arrows left. What a damn mess!
The two have now reached a consensus: to try to catch only small prey, since small prey that are shot are basically doomed to die.
They only have three arrows. If they run out of arrows, their survival will become much more difficult, and if they are unlucky enough to encounter a wild beast, it will be hard to guarantee their safety.
Yan Shuangwen and Yan Shuangwu remained as steady as ever, surviving in the rainforest with ease. They were also lucky; small animals would come by at night, but according to their observations, these were all small and posed no threat. So far, no foolish animals near the shelter had dared to threaten the two sisters.
The two sisters had a very clear division of labor. Yan Shuangwu was responsible for collecting food nearby and inspecting their territory. If anything tried to approach, he would drive it away. If it attacked, the consequences were predictable. Its neck was broken by Yan Shuangwu. There was a monkey that came over, eager to try.
After being expelled, he was still indignant and threw stones at Yan Shuangwu, which directly angered her. She responded in kind, picking up a palm-sized rock and slicing it across his head, causing him to fall from the tree and lose consciousness. However, provoking her was not an easy thing to do.
After the monkey slowly regained consciousness, they twisted its neck little by little amidst its fear and carried it back to be eaten.
This action sent chills down the spines of Yan Shuangwu's fans, especially the act of eating the monkey. People who had previously praised the two sisters to the skies suddenly felt that they were like female psychopaths. What woman could be so ruthless?
More importantly, monkeys are creatures that are easily associated with humans, making them even more terrifying. However, the two sisters did not care about other people's opinions, and they never paid attention to the trend of their live broadcast room.
