During the meal, Yezi and Reba chatted.
"I didn't expect you to dare to go into the water so quickly. I thought you would need some time to adjust."
Dilraba paused for a moment, then said:
"Are you referring to the psychological trauma caused by the shark attack on the small boat?"
Ye Zi nodded.
Dilraba continued:
"Oh, I adjusted after I got ashore."
Ye Zi raised an eyebrow and said:
"You're so carefree! I always thought you didn't swim in the sea because you were worried about sharks."
“I was indeed worried about sharks at first, but sharks wouldn’t come this close to hunt, and since you can handle them, I’m not worried about that problem.”
Ye Zi didn't respond, waiting for Reba to continue.
Dilraba also offered her own explanation, continuing:
"The main reason I didn't go into the sea is because I didn't have any clothes. The production team only provided one set of clothes, which wasn't enough to go into the sea."
Ye Zi realized that the quick-drying clothes provided by the production team, although not transparent when wet, would cling tightly to the body until they dried.
When clothes get wet, they stick to the body, revealing the curves of the body and even showing the outline of underwear.
Ye Zi had no choice but to go into the sea to get food, but every time Ye Zi came ashore, Reba would either practice martial arts on the side or keep her head down and do something.
Although Ye Zi already knew what Reba meant, she couldn't say it outright, and could only agree:
"That's right. Wearing wet clothes is not only uncomfortable, but the evaporation of water will also absorb body heat, increasing the chance of catching a cold."
Reba nodded with a smile, agreeing with Ye Zi's point of view.
Then Ye Zi changed the subject:
"You're able to adjust your mindset so quickly? Aside from the day you were attacked by the shark, have you been feeling scared these past few days?"
Dilraba nodded and said:
"If it weren't for the first time I'd experienced something like this, I wouldn't have reacted that way. With someone as tough as you around, there's nothing to worry about."
Er Ya said that she was terrified when she saw the black bear, but after squatting in the tree and watching you beat it to death, she felt that the black bear was nothing special.
My situation is similar to that of Sister Er Ya, except that it's our first time experiencing this, and we need time to adjust.
But I was already mentally prepared, so the adjustment time was naturally faster.
Ye Zi smiled wryly:
"Looks like I worried for nothing. I haven't dared to call you when I go out to sea these past few days."
"The main reason I'm not going out to sea with you is because I've already acknowledged the existence of beginner perks. Since we can't catch any fish, going with you would just mean waiting for you on the boat."
Waiting anywhere is the same as waiting anywhere, so it's better to have free time on the island; at least there's plenty of space.
Ye Zi hesitated for a while before saying:
"That makes sense."
Then he continued to ask:
"Now that you have a swimsuit, do you want to go out to sea with me tomorrow?"
Dilraba thought for a moment and said:
"I'm not going. If I want to swim, I can just stay in the waters near the beach. The place you're shooting fish in is quite deep, and I'm not a very good swimmer."
Besides, I can't dive, so shooting fish wouldn't be helpful; it might even cause trouble.
Ye Zi paused for a moment and said:
"It's fine if you can't dive and shoot fish, how does that make you a troublemaker? It's just swimming."
Dilraba responded generously:
"The water is deep, and the temperature is definitely not as high as near the beach. If I swim and you shoot fish, and you get a cramp while swimming, wouldn't that just cause trouble?"
I only came here to rely on you, so since I can't be of any help, I shouldn't hold you back. Swimming in such deep water would only cause trouble if something goes wrong.
That's true. Since the struggle for survival began, obtaining food has been done with leaves, building shelter has been done with leaves, digging wells has been done with leaves, and processing fish catches has also been done with leaves.
Yezi did all the work that required a little physical strength, while Reba could only collect eggs and clean up the dishes.
At first, we could gather firewood, but later we could just cut down trees and bring back firewood directly, so the firewood was readily available.
Actually, Yezi wasn't taking on everything; she just had this much work to pass the time, and that was all the work she had.
He exclaimed in surprise:
"You're not only carefree, but you also have such a good attitude."
Dilraba said proudly:
"Of course, I told you from the beginning that I'm here to curry favor with you."
Different survival environments have led to Yezi and Reba's current situation.
Moreover, after more than a month of survival, not only them, but also the other contestants have a fixed daily routine.
Actually, by now, the show has become quite boring, but everyone is still recording it as scheduled.
The production team is helpless as they watch the audience dwindle every day, and they just hope that the contestants can create some drama.
Aside from discovering an artifact and fighting a shark once, nothing else happened.
All that's left is to wait for a natural disaster, a storm, and see how each group of contestants responds.
These kinds of shows work like this: those with knowledge can educate the audience on scientific knowledge, while those without can showcase their talents.
But after so much time has passed, even with a wealth of knowledge, you can't keep up with daily science popularization, and even with talent, you can't keep up with daily performances.
Haven't you watched Bear Grylls and Ed Stafford's shows? They set a goal, like crossing a certain region, and staying there for a few days—that's one episode.
Besides, the people invited by the program team are not professional wilderness survivalists. As long as they find a way to persevere, they will try to use that method as much as possible in the future.
As the show has progressed, the viewers who tune in to the live stream every day are all die-hard fans of the various celebrities.
What frustrates the production team the most is that apart from the data usage fees, there are very few donations each day, and the live stream has become a communication platform for the fan group instead.
On the fiftieth day of their island survival mission, during the routine medical check-up, Liu Hu made a "six" gesture to Ye Zi after coming ashore, and then the check-up began.
Ye Zi's body naturally wouldn't have any problems. Back in Alaska, after taking ten Qianjun Pills, minor illnesses like colds and fevers completely disappeared from Ye Zi's life.
Reba's previous salt deficiency has improved; although she is still deficient, it at least doesn't affect her daily life.
In other words, given her current condition, Reba can still hold on for a while longer.
Reba and Yezi had discussed the issue of salt deficiency and decided to follow the doctor's advice. If the doctor said that Reba's body was no longer suitable for survival, they would give up immediately.
If Reba's body develops other problems due to salt deficiency, they will immediately give up.
Unrefined sea salt contains toxins, and when these toxins accumulate to a certain level, they can have many negative effects on the body, which cannot be ignored.
Therefore, Ye Zi values the routine physical examination every ten days, as it is related to Reba's health condition.
After the inspectors left, Ye Zi and Reba's lives returned to normal.
With Liu Hu's hint, Ye Zi knew that she wouldn't be able to stay on the island for long, so she quickly started practicing her shooting, knowing that any unused bullets would have to be thrown away.
