In 2060, inside the Chongqing City People's Hospital... in the bustling third-floor corridor...
Ye Feng stared intently at the old man on the bed, his brows furrowed, the man with an oxygen tube inserted and his eyes closed…
"Grandma, wait for me to come back, I will definitely cure your illness..."
As he spoke, he bent down and kissed the old man on the forehead... then turned around, took a bank card out of his pocket, and handed it to the middle-aged woman next to him...
"Auntie, this is the funding the production team gave me. The password is Grandma's birthday. I'm counting on you for the next three months..."
Ye Feng bowed deeply to her. The middle-aged woman, with tears in her eyes, gripped his shoulders tightly, somewhat emotional…
"Xiaofeng, are you really sure? I heard that none of the people who participated in that program came back alive."
Let's think of another way. What will your grandma do if something happens to you?!
Ye Feng glanced sideways at his grandmother again, his eyes filled with reluctance, yet also with unwavering resolve…
He patted his aunt's hand... and forced a confident smile...
"Hehe, don't worry... It's just a TV show. I can recite hundreds of survival rules and information about plants and animals by heart..."
Besides, they've already paid my appearance fee and signed the contract. If I breach the contract, I'll have to pay over three million in damages…”
"But……"
Before his aunt could finish speaking, Ye Feng had already started walking downstairs…
He waved with his back turned, his tone very nonchalant…
"Auntie, when I get back, I'll definitely buy you and Grandma a big house. Just wait for my good news..."
With that, he disappeared into the noisy corridor…
As he walked out of the hospital, a black Jeep appeared to be already parked there…
Two men in suits and sunglasses opened the car door and waved to him…
Ye Feng frowned, and the relaxed smile on his face instantly turned extremely serious...
He glanced back at the third floor with a complicated expression, then let out a deep breath and got into the car with a resolute look on his face…
Inside the car, four burly men in matching suits sat upright around him, their eyes constantly fixed on him, as if afraid he might run away…
No matter how Ye Feng tried to talk to them, they remained serious and silent, the atmosphere eerily quiet…
He leaned awkwardly against the car window, his mood heavy and depressed...
Ye Feng is twenty-five years old this year. He lost his father at a young age, and his mother remarried when he was eight years old, leaving his grandmother to raise him alone...
Two months ago, my grandmother suffered a sudden heart attack. The doctor said she needed a heart transplant within six months; otherwise, if the optimal time was missed, it would be too late…
However, the medical expenses during this period have already exhausted all of the family's savings.
Even the borrowed 100,000 yuan is almost gone... and a heart transplant would cost at least 500,000 yuan...
The subsequent costs are still unknown...
Seeing that time was running out, Ye Feng resolutely signed up for the game called "Lone Warrior," which was created overseas.
If you win, you'll be eligible to share a grand prize of ten million US dollars.
Tomorrow is the date the game starts...
Challengers must sign a waiver and challenge contract before the competition.
You will immediately receive 100,000 Chinese dollars upon signing.
Even though the show has been running for three years, no one has ever survived to the end.
But Ye Feng signed without hesitation, because he had no other choice at the moment…
He has loved watching survival shows since he was 10 years old, and he has developed excellent practical skills and a wealth of knowledge.
He already knew the characteristics and dangers of hundreds of kinds of plants and animals by heart.
Ye Feng was very confident that he would win the grand prize, whether on a deserted island or in a jungle.
Several hours later, the vehicle stopped in a wide playground, where about ten brand-new helicopters were parked around the perimeter…
As he got out of the car, he saw only dozens of men in suits carrying motionless people and throwing them onto the plane…
"A corpse?"
This was Ye Feng's first thought, and he was about to turn around and ask when he didn't expect...
The man in the suit behind him took out a thin syringe and pierced his neck first…
Immediately afterwards, Ye Feng felt his eyelids drooping lower and lower, and a few seconds later, everything went black before his eyes, and he collapsed...
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Feng's consciousness gradually returned, and he felt as if someone was hitting his face...
When I opened my eyes, I realized that it had started to drizzle...
The place he is now in has long since lost all its skyscrapers and traces of human activity.
Instead, it was a vibrant yet utterly unfamiliar forest, where every tree stood like a towering giant, easily over 30 meters tall…
"Splash!"
The rain was pouring down harder and harder. Without thinking twice, he quickly took shelter under a big tree…
As he was wiping the rain off his body, he noticed a metal ornament on his wrist that resembled a watch and looked quite expensive.
The tiny display screen showed the number 1000…
A crisp "beep beep beep" sounded suddenly...
Ye Feng felt something vibrating in his pocket. He fumbled around and pulled out a phone that was far ahead of him. He was wondering why, since he hadn't brought his phone with him.
Just then, a clown with his face painted in all sorts of colors suddenly appeared in the video on his own…
He suddenly let out a strange sound and jumped out from below the video...
"Wuhu~"
Then, like a madman, he gestured wildly and said:
"My brave challenger, welcome to the game of the Lone Warrior..."
I know you must have a lot of questions right now, such as…
"Ah! Where am I? How did I end up here? How did you manage to do that? How long have I been unconscious? How am I supposed to survive without any tools?"
The clown's hurried speech suddenly stopped, and he made a shushing gesture...
"Shh!"
"Quiet down, let me introduce myself. I'm the host of this program, you can call me... Ugly..."
Next, I will explain the specific rules of the game to you…”
Ye Feng frowned slightly, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart…
"Isn't it supposed to be surviving for one hundred days?...
"It's definitely one hundred days!"
The ugly voice suddenly rang out again, as if it had truly heard Ye Feng's innermost thoughts...
At this moment, he practically shoved his entire face in front of the camera... His crazed behavior made Ye Feng instinctively move his phone away a little...
"Hehehe... Don't be afraid, I can't hear your thoughts, but most of the challengers who come here to compete think the same way..."
As he spoke, he pretended to take two steps back, but his voice turned cold...
"The Lone Warrior Game also has another name: 'Breakout'."
As everyone knows, you can't quit our show; it's either live or die…
In addition to the grand prize of ten million US dollars, every time someone dies during the game, the prize pool will be increased by another 100,000 US dollars.
And if the fight is between you challengers, the reward will be doubled!
The watch you're wearing represents the current amount in the prize pool...
There are one hundred challengers in this game... You were unconscious for about a day, and today is the day the game begins.
Each of you has a survival backpack, which is placed 500 meters away from you...
If we can't find it, we'll have to try and eliminate it...
Besides random survival items, there was also a state-of-the-art miniature camera and a hundred batteries.
You must constantly record your survival experiences. Otherwise, you will be considered eliminated...
As for where it is exactly, you'll have to find it yourselves...
Oh, by the way, the place you're in right now is the most beautiful place on Earth, called… the Amazon…
The phone will self-destruct within 5 seconds after the video ends!
"Now, I solemnly declare... the game... begins. Hehehe..."
Two seconds after the piercing, eerie laughter rang out, the phone immediately began its countdown…
"3, 2..."
"Holy shit!"
Ye Feng cried out in surprise. He hadn't expected this clown to lie to him. He quickly threw him forward with all his might...
"Bang!"
The phone exploded in mid-air the moment it was thrown, sending parts flying everywhere.
After the white smoke dissipated, Ye Feng looked around with lingering fear. After waiting for more than half an hour, the rain finally stopped, and he began to search for the package...
He had no idea how the production team had brought him from China to South America…
But he knew the clown wasn't lying; judging from the damp air and the towering trees, this was indeed the Amazon.
The lungs of the Earth, one of humanity's forbidden zones, is home to hundreds of deadly creatures; an ordinary person here wouldn't survive more than three hours…
Although this was somewhat beyond his expectations, Ye Feng was not particularly afraid at the moment.
Before long, he arrived at the bank of a wide river, and in the middle of the river…
A large black backpack was floating nearby, looking very conspicuous. Presumably, this was the survival supplies he was looking for...
But Ye Feng wasn't particularly happy, because the Amazon River, seemingly calm, was teeming with deadly creatures beneath its surface…
For example, the black caiman, which frequently attacks people, is also known as the man-eating caiman of the Amazon...
After pondering for a moment, Ye Feng picked up a stone and threw it into the water...
With a "plop" sound, the underwater area immediately flashed with red light, but disappeared two seconds later...
"Red-bellied piranha!"
Ye Feng felt a chill run down his spine and quickly took two steps back. If there were enough of these things, they could gnaw him down to his bones in a minute.
Seeing it on TV and seeing it in real life are completely different experiences…
Although they generally don't attack people unprovoked, Ye Feng still shuddered at the thought of these things underwater.
He was momentarily at a loss. He was currently at least fifteen meters away from his backpack, and without any tools, how could he retrieve it without going into the water?
Just as he was lost in thought, a loud shout suddenly came from upstream...
"Ah! Help!"
It was clearly a human voice, so Ye Feng quickly climbed to the top of a tree.
About fifty meters upstream, five crocodiles were seen swimming rapidly toward a man in the center of the river…
Judging from their prominent dorsal fins and jet-black scales, they are indeed one of the dominant species in the Amazon River…
Black Caiman!
