Chapter 26: I can’t climb anymore. Wei Wei’s waist strength is really amazing…
There was a small ditch at their feet, and before them was another taller mountain forest, steeper than the one they had climbed before.
"We have to move on even if there's no road," Zhou Youlan said. "Otherwise, we'll be trapped in this narrow crevice. Even though it's sunny now, if there's still wind after the rain, the rain will linger for a long time, forming mist that will cover the lower areas and increase the humidity, making it difficult for us to even start a fire."
When everyone heard that they couldn't make a fire and were covered by thick humidity, it was very dangerous, so they hurriedly took out their kettles and filled them with water from the small ditch.
No matter whether it is drinkable or not, and no matter whether there is any water source ahead, just put it in a kettle first, and pour it out and disinfect it when setting up camp.
Zhao Jie was bitten badly by mosquitoes, probably because she was type O blood. When the camera was shot at her, she quickly raised her hand to block it, and was obviously in a very annoyed mood.
"Are you okay, Sister Zhao?" Lin Yue wet a towel for her and said, "Wipe the sweat off first."
Zhao Jie pulled away the scarf around her face, and Lin Yue saw that her neck and face were covered with many bumps from mosquito bites. They were densely packed and uneven, and her eyelids were quite swollen.
She gasped: "How can it be so serious!"
What these female artists have always paid the most attention to is their face and figure. Not to mention so many pimples and swellings on their faces, even a small pimple may make them anxious.
She hurriedly took out the ointment from her first aid kit, which was used to reduce swelling and pus on the skin. Chen Nan had used some of it before, and later Chen Nan followed Wang Daodao's advice and prepared some herbal remedies for application, so there was some ointment left in the box.
Zhao Jie didn't let too many people know, otherwise the audience would have seen it.
Everyone didn't stay here too long, for fear that the rain predicted by Zhou Youlan would suddenly come.
The mountain forest in front of us is more difficult to climb than everyone imagined. The grass and trees are not that dense and the steepness is very high. Without a foothold in the hands, the speed of climbing up is obviously greatly reduced.
Every shot in the live broadcast room was filled with the guests' breathless breathing. The first group was Kang Xiang, Zhou Youxuan, Ke Feiyang and Wei Wei, followed by Zhang Longtong, Chen Nan, Li Xiaohuan and others, and the others with less physical fitness followed at the end.
Chen Nan said, "Brother Kang, you're worthy of being a rock climber. It's good to have a good foundation. You can climb half a mountain without even getting out of breath."
Kang Xiang took a deep breath and smiled, "It's similar to rock climbing. You can use the roots of these plants as handholds when climbing, and try to find a place with harder soil for your feet. Flag climbing will be much easier on uneven places like this."
He raised his chin. "Like Xiao Zhou, climbing horizontally or vertically is more energy-saving. If you can't use your hands and feet together, you will be exhausted before you reach the top, and your arms will become sore, weak, and weak halfway through."
Kang Xiang volunteered to lead the way. He tried his best to find a stable foothold so that everyone could feel more relaxed and avoid someone falling down due to loss of grip.
The big monkey looked back and cried out in fear, "I saw so many trees from below, and only after climbing up did I realize how high and steep the climb was. If I lose my grip and fall...it would be terrible."
The backpack strap around Wei Wei's waist was pulled very tightly because Zhang Longtong was chasing after him.
Zhang Longtong was afraid of heights, so he prepared himself mentally for a long time down there. However, when he reached one-third of the way up, he couldn't hold on and wanted to go down. In the end, Wei Wei had no choice but to help him climb up.
The backpack straps were tied together, and Wei Wei pulled Zhang Longtong to climb up. Zhang Longtong didn't dare to open his eyes to look back, and could only hold on to Wei Wei tightly.
But even so, Wei Wei's speed was not slower than Kang Xiang and Zhou Youlan and Ke Feiyang who were in excellent physical fitness. He could even run parallel to Kang Xiang and occasionally surpass him.
Kang Xiang did not slow down, perhaps out of an athlete's competitive spirit. He gradually began to exert his strength and did not stop to wait for anyone, as if he was trying his best to surpass Wei Wei.
Wei Wei realized that Kang Xiang was secretly competing with him, so he slowed down a bit.
He had no intention of competing with anyone. Zhang Longtong was afraid of heights and the climbing process was torture for him, so it would be better for Zhang Longtong if he could reach the top of the mountain earlier.
This show is really tough, there are real mountains to climb.
What kind of route is the production team choosing? Aren’t they really worried about the guests getting hurt?
[It can be seen that this program director is really not afraid of trouble, because he really dares to let the guest die]
[Aren’t there already several guests injured? Did you see the production crew asking about this?]
[Tongtong is so miserable, he is really afraid of heights, he is finished]
What would Zhang Longtong do without Wei Wei? No wonder he's willing to speak up for Wei Wei. This couple is so cute!
[I only care about where the program crew's supplies will be placed]
Kang Xiang and Wei Wei both saw a flag placed by the program crew.
On the way, I was still wondering where the program crew would drop the supplies, but I didn’t expect that they were almost at the top of the mountain.
According to the rules set by the program team, whoever gets the flag first will have the right to obtain supplies.
Kang Xiang quickened his pace. Who knew whether it was medicine or food, both of which were essential.
The big monkey pushed Zhou Youguan: "Brother, hurry up, hurry up, Brother Wei, hurry up, go grab the supplies first."
In their group, only Zhou Youguan and Wei Wei have a chance of grabbing the supplies, and they must not be allowed to escape.
Kang Xiang and Wang Ren are in the same group. Even if Kang Xiang gets the supplies, he won't share them with Wang Ren and the others because they are there.
Kang Xiang changed direction because the flag was above them on the right, but if he wanted to go in the direction of the flag, he had to cross Wei Wei, so he sped up.
Zhang Longtong didn't want to drag him down, "Brother Wei, untie the backpack strap and go get the supplies. I, I will climb slowly by myself."
Wei Wei didn't respond to him. If he untied the belt, Zhang Longtong would probably fall down before he could climb three steps because his hands and feet would become weak and he would feel dizzy.
He took a breath, let Kang Xiang pass first, and then continued to climb up.
But they didn't notice that Wang Ren next to them had caught up with them, and his goal was very clear.
A Hu and Lao Gui were both injured by Wei Wei. They have been using herbs found in the forest to deal with them these days, but this is not a long-term solution.
"Eh? When did he climb up here?" the big monkey muttered. "Just now he was still dragging his two brothers along with him."
Wang Ren was very fast. When he passed by Wei Wei, he turned around and curled his lips at him, "Do you think there's medicine or food inside?"
It was a very boring question, but it also had the connotation of being a deliberate strike-up.
Wei Wei turned around and climbed up, but Wang Ren didn't care about his indifference and the smile on his face became even bigger.
"If they get the medicine, they definitely won't give it to us," said the big monkey.
Zhou Youlan naturally knew this, so he quickened his pace and walked forward because they still had several guests waiting to take medicine.
Soon, Zhou You, Kang Xiang and Wang Ren had left them three or four meters away.
Seeing Wang Ren go to take it, Kang Xiang no longer wanted to snatch it.
In the end, only Zhou Youguan and Wang Ren were fighting for the right to obtain supplies, with Wei Wei and Kang Xiang following behind them.
The last few people had already started to give up, resting for half a day after climbing a certain distance, and then slowly climbing a certain distance again.
Seeing the people far up at the top, Ruan Mengmeng gasped for breath: "Oh my God, Brother Wei's waist strength is amazing. He can climb so fast with such a big thing hanging from his back."
She hugged a tree root, sweat pouring down her face. "Can someone please help me? I really can't climb anymore."
"Hold on a little longer," Lin Yue encouraged them. "Luckily, we didn't encounter a bare cliff or peak. Otherwise, we wouldn't have any climbing equipment and we wouldn't know what the situation would be like. At least we still have trees and grass to hold on to."
"Be optimistic. We need to speed up, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with them."
Lin Yue asked Zhao Jie who was behind her, "Sister Zhao, are you okay?"
Zhao Jie shook her head weakly, then raised her chin to signal them to just climb and not worry about her.
Niu Xixi and Zhao Jie were the last to fall. Zhao Jie felt very uncomfortable because of the mosquito bites on her body, while Niu Xixi cried all the way. It seemed that all his energy was used in crying. At first, everyone encouraged him, but gradually his energy was exhausted and no one had much time to care about him.
Seeing that the flag was just a few meters ahead and Zhou Youxuan was still chasing him closely, Wang Ren curled his lips, grabbed a short grass in front of him, pulled it up and threw it in Zhou Youxuan's direction, and all the dust was scattered on Zhou Youxuan's face.
Zhou Youguan subconsciously raised his hand to block it, but the dust still got into his eyes. With only one hand left to bear the weight, the small tree root on his hand could not withstand his weight and was pulled out by the roots. He hurriedly reached out to grab other leverage points, but Wang Ren stepped on his palm, and the sole of his shoe crushed his palm, forcing him to fall down.
"Brother!" The big monkey shouted anxiously, "Wang Ren, what are you doing?!"
