Chapter 17 Tropical Rainforest 17



Ren Xiayang and Bai Zhiyong were the first to join, but not the last.

Starting from the early morning of the next day, other players came one after another and asked to join the team.

Some of them are suffering from the harsh conditions in the rainforest and are looking for a place to shelter from the wind and rain; others are attracted by the beautiful tree houses and delicious food, such as...

Ren Xiayang came over with a big smile on his face: "Sister Jiang, when are we going to have lunch?"

Jiang Ran pushed him away expressionlessly: "This is the twenty-sixth time you have asked me this question today, and I just answered you seven minutes ago."

"But I..."

"Have you prepared your hunting team?" Jiang Ran interrupted him.

"I've taught them the movements and key points. I'll let them practice on their own for a while."

"Okay," Jiang Ran waved his hand impatiently, "You go ahead and lead it."

"It's okay," Ren Xiayang said motionlessly, "They can practice on their own."

Jiang Ran glanced at him and sighed.

Finally, he resorted to threatening: "Take them all out before noon. If even one of them fails to meet the standards, you won't have lunch."

Ren Xiayang: “!!!”

Ren Xiayang: "No!"

Jiang Ran: "Then go quickly!"

This hit Ren Xiayang's soft spot.

He said "Oh" aggrievedly, turned around and walked back pitifully.

After taking a few steps, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "If the hunting team has a good harvest this afternoon, we can add a few more dishes to the dinner."

"Alright!" Ren Xiayang's expression immediately cleared up, and he smiled like a flower. "I'm going to go and teach those guys a lesson! They're all so young, why are they so lifeless? This won't do, it won't do..."

He walked away while muttering.

Jiang Ran smiled and continued to rub the rope in his hand.

There were too many people coming here today, and most of them looked half dead. If they were left to fend for themselves, they would probably not see the sun tomorrow. Jiang Ran looked at their miserable appearance and did not refuse them to join. He just made a request to each of them -

Everyone has to work to earn the right to stay here.

When the number of members reached dozens, the prototype of a base had already been formed, but rules and systems are the basis for the operation of any social system.

Jiang Ran divided the team into groups according to each person's actual situation and assigned different tasks to each group.

Gathering, hunting, logistics, construction, cooking... everything you need is included.

Several contestants with special skills are responsible for leading the team and teaching team members various useful knowledge and skills.

Ren Xiayang, a military veteran, naturally oversaw the hunting team. Bai Zhiyong, a walking biological encyclopedia, was perfectly placed to teach the gathering team all sorts of emergency preparedness tips. Jiang Ran, on his own, led the construction team, carving the mortise and tenon joints for the newly found wooden support beams while overseeing the construction of everyone's new tree house.

There is not much material in the rainforest, so everything should be simple and convenient.

When the tree house was first built, the common wooden stairs were not used. Instead, a simple climbing ladder was built with hemp rope. However, with the increase in the number of people and the number of tree houses built, even the hemp rope was not enough. Jiang Ran had to lead the construction team to make ropes together.

First, you have to find suitable rush, process it, and then braid it into a rope. Finally, you have to fix the end of the rope to prevent it from unraveling. Each step is not easy.

By the time Jiang Ran finished teaching everyone how to make ropes, it was already quite late, so she immediately rushed to the kitchen team to help prepare lunch.

If you think about it carefully, Jiang Ran hasn't been this busy for many years.

When she was shooting outdoors in the past, she was mostly alone, and it was much easier to take care of herself than a group of people.

If it wasn't for the fact that so many contestants were novices in wild survival, Jiang Ran would have had to take them in. Her life in the wild would probably never have included so many people.

Noisy.

But not annoying either.

"Sister Jiang!" A girl from the kitchen team ran over happily, "The meal is ready!"

"Then go and inform everyone," Jiang Ran said with a smile, "It's already late."

"Okay! I'll go right away!"

After lunch, Jiang Ran took a short nap.

After waking up, he did not get up immediately, but sat on the edge of the beam of the tree house, put his hands on the handrail and looked down.

Ren Xiayang had already gone out with the hunting team, and there was no one in sight.

Bai Zhiyong had been teaching for the whole morning and now he could finally take a break. He held his little orchid and walked around to see the scenery. Occasionally, when some contestants came back after collecting supplies, he would help to take a look and give some instructions. It was quite relaxing.

Fu Bo and the logistics team were collecting firewood to prepare for making a fire in the evening.

Everything is orderly and harmonious.

Jiang Ran did not hesitate. After adjusting the follow-up ball, he took a picture of the scene.

She didn't even pay too much attention to light, shadow and composition. In such a picture, the upward vitality is the most moving part.

Jiang Ran stroked the screen with his fingers, feeling extremely satisfied.

This trip to the Amazon was really worthwhile. So far, she has taken no less than ten photos that she is satisfied with.

In a state of excitement, Jiang Ran simply dismantled his hammock, cut it up, and carefully wrote "Welcome Home" on the waterproof cloth with orange juice, then climbed down the tree along the rope ladder.

Fu Bo just came back from collecting some firewood.

He saw this scene, pointed at the empty tarpaulin and asked, "Are you doing performance art?"

Jiang Ran ignored him and just took the waterproof cloth to the fire to dry for a while. Soon, black words appeared on it.

"Hey! Welcome... home," Ji Fang asked, leaning closer. "Why are there words after roasting it? Is the fire writing it?"

"How is that possible?" Jiang Ran was at a loss for words. "It's the carbohydrates that decompose when exposed to heat, producing black carbon."

Fu Bo muttered softly, "Just some fancy stuff..."

Jiang Ran: "What did you say?"

"I say..." Fu Bo paused, "This technology is amazing. If used in... in the military, it might be very effective."

The words on the waterproof cloth became visible. Jiang Ran then used the newly woven rope to pass through the four corners of the long cloth, and then pulled up the two ends and tied them to the tops of two large trees about five or six meters apart.

The banner hung high at the entrance of the base, like some kind of mysterious welcome ceremony. When people coming in and out passed by, they felt an indescribable sense of belonging.

[This is really a base built in the Amazon! ]

[Even more amazingly, it only took one day to complete the base...]

[At first I thought I was watching a wilderness survival show, then I thought I was watching a food show, only now I realize I was watching the history of human civilization evolution]

[Hahahahaha, the person above me is making me laugh to death. Which level are you on this wave? ]

[Laxative, just came back from Lei Jin's live broadcast room, I feel like I've returned to civilized society, moved TAT]

[Brother, I also came from Lei Jin's place. Now that you're here, don't leave. It still smells so good here~]

【……】

Humanity also slowly progressed from the primitive age, learning to divide labor, collecting fire, and then entering the gathering civilization and agricultural civilization...

When drinking water, remember the person who dug the well. Every bit of progress is hard-earned, so cherish it.

Ren Xiayang led the hunting team to work for the whole afternoon and came back with a great harvest.

Jiang Ran did not break his promise and asked everyone in the kitchen team to give them more food.

The scale of a group of dozens of people is really not small. When preparing to eat, all kinds of utensils are spread out on the ground, and a large area is actually cordoned off.

The aroma of food overflowed from the gaps in the pots and bowls.

Ren Xiayang couldn't help it: "Sister Jiang, can't you eat it yet?"

"This is the twenty-seventh time today."

Ren Xiayang scratched his head: "We've been hunting all afternoon, so we're really hungry."

Jiang Ran didn't mean to make things difficult for him. Seeing that the food was almost cooked, he invited everyone to start eating.

The big guys, led by Ren Xiayang, immediately cheered, making so much noise that the whole forest was filled with their shouts.

Jiang Ran didn't start eating immediately. She first counted the number of people as usual.

Unexpectedly, during the inventory, it was discovered that two people were indeed missing.

Why.

These team leaders are really not that reliable. They didn’t even notice that someone was missing.

Just as I was thinking of asking them to count their team members to see which two people were missing, suddenly someone ran out from the bushes.

"Sister Xiao Jiang! It's bad! Bian Yang has been poisoned!"

The author has something to say:

【Small Theater】

Fu Bo: That's not fair! I can't eat if I say something bad, but Ren Xiayang can say it 27 times and it's fine!

Ji Fang muttered quietly: But you said it yourself... compressed biscuits are more delicious...

Fu Bo: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
