Chapter 46 This is annoying me. Who made me soft on you?
In recent days, Zhang Longtong seems to have completely let himself go. He will kill anyone who targets Wei Wei equally and speaks without any mercy.
The fans have also come to terms with it. After all, saying one thing is saying it, and saying a hundred things is saying it, and the result won't make much difference.
"Zhang Longtong, do you have to be so harsh in your words?"
Zhang Longtong laughed meaninglessly: "Your own actions are ugly, and you still complain about others' harsh words. You took advantage of others, but you are not grateful. Don't eat other people's food and then step on it."
"When did I step on someone? Wasn't I doing this for everyone?"
"But now it's proven that your recklessness and cleverness are causing trouble for everyone."
Wang Chunqin snorted and laughed: "So you are blaming Teacher Zhao too?"
Zhang Longtong also laughed. "Don't set me up for a fight. Blindly chasing prey and putting yourself in danger is irrational. We clearly agreed to turn back if we couldn't find water within a kilometer, but you ran almost two kilometers beyond the planned distance and chased the prey for who knows how much further. I could understand if you had hunting equipment, but you blindly chased without any equipment, without even seeing the prey, and without even leaving any marks on the trail. I really can't understand it. You have to admit your mistakes and scold me. What's wrong with that?"
"You, you..." Wang Chunqin was so angry that he didn't know how to refute. He pointed at Zhang Longtong for a long time but couldn't say a word.
Zhang Longtong turned around and filmed the camera that looked like a teacher. "Program crew, please record this for me. All the marketing accounts have seen it clearly. If you dare to cut off the beginning and end of this clip and take it out of context, I will go out and personally tear you apart."
Staff: “…”
【Tongtong seems to be crazy】
[This brother seems to be in a bad mental state today...]
[I'm dying of laughter. This is the first time I've seen a guest on a variety show dare to pull hair and argue in front of the camera like this.]
[I have to say, I watch this show just to see them quarrel. Hehe, it's really fun.]
Since we're going with a documentary style, we have to film it realistically. Conflicts are perfectly normal in that kind of living environment. It would have been more like a script if they had gotten along peacefully the entire time.
[It was originally Zhao Guanjun and Wang Chunqin's fault. What's even more outrageous is that they dared to chase after the prey without even seeing it clearly...]
[These two are so smart and self-righteous. If you ask me, Zhang is right to criticize them in a general way.]
If I were Zhang Longtong, I would curse even more harshly than him.
When they found Zhao Guanjun, he had already fainted in the trap. It took a long time for everyone to wake him up.
The trap was bigger and deeper than they had imagined, and there were traces of hidden traps specially set up around it.
Moreover, this is not a trap that has just been set. There are signs of weeds growing in the excavated soil around it. This trap has been dug for at least half a year.
So someone had arrived here a long time ago.
But they are definitely not just enthusiasts of outdoor adventure like them. The only people who can carefully design and dig such a large trap are most likely poaching gangs.
It is not a good thing to encounter poachers in the wild. This trap is a signal to remind them of the danger.
Zhao Guanjun's fainting was a result of dehydration and the fall. Zhou Youlan first gave Zhao Guanjun some water. After Zhao Guanjun drank the water and finally regained some strength, he tried to pull him up.
He apologized, "I'm sorry to bother you all. I'm sorry to bother you all."
"Teacher Zhao, don't talk too much. Keep your strength. We'll pull you up." Zhou Youxuan took out a machete and shone his flashlight around. He saw the vines on the other side and said, "Two of you, come with me to cut the vines."
Wei Wei felt it was troublesome. Why bother cutting vines for such a simple task, which was so time-consuming and laborious?
As the few people who were about to cut the vines took a step, they saw Wei Wei jump directly into the trap. No one knew what was happening, and in the blink of an eye, Wei Wei grabbed Zhao Guanjun's shoulder and brought him back to the ground.
He jumped up as if it was a piece of cake, and he carried an adult as heavy as Zhao Guanjun in his hands easily and effortlessly.
Everyone was stunned and speechless, even Zhao Guanjun himself was suddenly stunned.
But the most embarrassed person was Wang Chunqin. According to what he said along the way, he had tried hard to pull Zhao Guanjun, and tried every possible way to rescue Zhao Guanjun but failed. He described how hard it was and how difficult the predicament was, but he didn't expect that Wei Wei's move was as easy as lifting a chicken.
What was even more exaggerated was that the mud under the trap was thick and thick after being soaked by rainwater. Zhao Guanjun was covered in mud, but there was no mud on Wei Wei's feet except for the mud he had stepped on along the way.
He didn't even land on the ground, but pulled Zhao Guanjun up.
But only Zhou Youling noticed this detail. When the flashlight swept across Wei Wei's feet, he only stayed there for a few seconds before moving away.
Wei Wei stepped aside, obviously not caring much about Zhao Guanjun. He helped him only because he didn't want to waste time on such a simple matter.
It would take them until late at night to remove the vines and pull the people up.
Zhang Longtong sighed and shook his head: "Look, this is real strength. Unlike some people who are just good at talking."
Wang Chunqin, who was hit by the Yin-Yang, looked embarrassed, but he still couldn't understand how Wei Wei did it. How could he do it so easily?
Inviting everyone to rescue Zhao Guanjun with such fanfare made him look completely stupid.
"Thank you." Zhao Guanjun covered his injured foot, which was not soaked in the dirty water any longer. "Thank you, Wei Wei."
Wei Wei turned his head away, obviously not wanting to waste any more time here.
Zhao Guanjun couldn't walk. His foot was scratched and it was dark, so he didn't dare walk too far. Asking him to walk by himself would slow down his walking speed, so everyone had to take turns carrying him.
After returning to the camping site, Wang Daodao examined Zhao Guanjun and found that there was no bone injury, only a sprained ankle and some minor bruises.
Wang Chunqin: "As long as the bones are not injured, I am lucky."
"If I had injured my bones, I wouldn't have been able to hold on that long."
Wang Chunqin apologized shamefully, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao. It's all my fault for not being able to do it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you stay down there for so long."
"I don't blame you." Zhao Guanjun patted his shoulder to comfort him. "Not everyone has the ability of Wei Wei. You have tried your best. And if it weren't for you, no one would have been able to find me."
It did sound comforting, but it was obviously another compliment to Wei Wei.
It seemed that after coming out of the snake's den, Zhao Guanjun's attitude towards Wei Wei had changed a lot, and he especially admired Wei Wei.
The big monkey looked at the wounded soldiers in the team and shook his head: "This is great. Everyone in the team is injured. How long will we be able to reach the finish line?"
The key point is that it is not enough to just get injured, but obviously they have to drag these injured people along, which will greatly affect the speed of travel. More importantly, this is an individual competition!
Does anyone still remember that this is a survival variety show with an individual competition system?
Zhou Youxuan clicked his tongue and signaled him to stop talking nonsense.
But the big monkey still didn't want to endure it: "I didn't say anything wrong, brother, if we keep dragging each other down like this, we won't be able to reach the finish line."
“The process is important; the results are sometimes secondary.”
"This is the first time I've seen you so indifferent to the outcome."
Zhou Youxuan looked at Wei Wei on the other side. In fact, he hoped that this adventure could last longer.
The whole day was wasted looking for people, except for some fruits picked by Zhou Youlan and Wei Wei before, but that was not enough to share.
Hu Lu had stomach problems after accidentally eating poisonous fruit last time. It wasn't serious, but she would have stomach pain and cramps if she was hungry for a long time. Drinking hot water would make her feel better, but she usually had to endure it.
Seeing that her face was pale and her lips were bloodless, Wei Wei gave her the only wild fruit left in his bag.
"No...I'm not hungry."
Wei Wei threw her into his arms, too lazy to push or argue with her.
Looking at the back, Hu Lu stroked the fruit with her palm, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise.
In the second half of the night, Wang Ren and his men caught up with them when everyone was fast asleep.
The fire was crackling, but the few people did not come over directly. Instead, they stopped about ten meters away from them.
Li Xiaohuan saw the fire and wanted to go over to it, but was pulled back by the old ghost.
"Why are you running? Didn't I let you go?" The old ghost scolded in a low voice and took out an iron box from his bag. The box was wider than his palm. No one knew what was inside, but a sound like a sharp object scratching could be heard.
I don't know what he's going to do, but he doesn't look like he has good intentions.
"You," Li Xiaohuan had a bad feeling in her heart, "What are you doing? What's in there?"
"It's none of your business. Shut up." The old ghost motioned them to leave first. "Go and attract their attention. There are too many cameras. Don't get caught in the act."
Hearing the footsteps, Wei Wei and Zhou Youxuan opened their eyes at the same time.
Wei Wei discovered that Zhou Youguan was usually quite sharp unless he was extremely tired.
Seeing that it was Wang Ren and the others, Zhou Youguan's face instantly darkened: "Why are you here?"
Ah Hu said, "We're all going in the same direction, so isn't it normal to run into each other on the road?"
A few people walked to the fire to keep warm, which covered the old ghost behind them tightly. No one noticed that the old ghost poured out a box of poisonous scorpions of all sizes from the box.
The scorpions fell to the ground and started crawling around. It was too dark and the light from the fire couldn't be seen clearly. Scorpions were also afraid of fire and heat, so they subconsciously went to the places where people on both sides were resting and sleeping.
A Hu and Li Xiaohuan helped Wang Ren forward. Lao Gui caught up and gestured to them. The few of them did not stop and continued to move forward.
It seems like just passing by.
Wang Ren stopped as he passed by Wei Wei and handed him his water bottle. "You're always so cruel. You didn't care about me even though you knew I only had half the map. But I can't help but feel soft-hearted towards you."
What little water was left was all given away generously.
It is even more difficult to find water in the rainforest jungle because the rainforest has a long rainy season, and the rain forms depressions all year round. The withered and rotten plants and dead animal carcasses cannot decompose, and the water source cannot flow quickly, and gradually becomes stagnant water. Therefore, clean drinkable water is extremely scarce here.
Wang Ren has essentially given away half of his life.
Ahu wanted to go back to Duo, but was avoided by Wang Ren. He glanced at Ahu coldly, and when he turned to look at Wei Wei, his eyes became gentle again.
Wei Wei glanced away indifferently, but his attention was attracted by the old ghost with a smug look on his face.
"Is this bothering me?"
Wang Ren put the water at Wei Wei's feet and said, "I am really sad, but who can blame me for being soft-hearted towards you?"
Zhou Youxuan picked up the kettle and threw it into Wang Ren's arms, then put his own kettle in front of Wei Wei.
The arm that was blocking Wei Wei's way seemed to be declaring sovereignty, but he did not have the qualifications and identity to do so. Zhou Youlan knew that he should have remained calm, but he still couldn't help it. He didn't like the way Wang Ren looked at Wei Wei.
Wang Ren smiled, but his smile was filled with contempt.
It seemed that he felt that Zhou Youlan's behavior was childish and had no offensive power. At his age, he was unwilling to compete with such an innocent boy.
Zhou Youlan could not be considered an opponent. In fact, he thought Wei Wei would not like such a non-challenging person.
Since I didn't take Zhou Youlan seriously, I didn't waste time arguing with him.
Wang Ren still left the water to Wei Wei, but Wei Wei's mind was obviously not on them. Wang Ren caught a glimpse of the old ghost following them, and the few of them quickened their pace and left.
Wei Wei vaguely sensed something was wrong and checked around the place where everyone was resting. Zhou Youguan saw his alert expression and stern eyes and also became alert.
The others were too tired to be awakened and had already fallen into a deep sleep, so only the two of them were standing around checking.
Zhou Youguan saw the scorpions before Wei Wei. They were small but moved very quickly. He stepped on one and shouted, "There's a scorpion."
Wang Daodao, who was closest to him, opened his eyes sleepily: "Huh? What?"
Wang Daodao leaned sideways, but he didn't expect there was also a scorpion under his backpack. Zhou Youxuan picked him up, and the scorpion went back under his backpack.
I dare not imagine what would have happened if the scorpion had crawled onto Wang Daodao's body if I had not alarmed him just now.
Wang Daodao was awakened in an instant, and was pulled up by Zhou Youxuan without knowing anything. Seeing Zhou Youxuan's anxious and fierce look, as if he was going to fight, he was startled, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Youguan had no time to explain, because he saw several scorpions running on the ground, as if they had suddenly swarmed out.
"Everyone, get up! Get up quickly! Don't sleep any more!" Zhou Youguan shouted, turning around and pulling out a piece of firewood from the fire to shoo it away. "There are scorpions! Get up quickly!"
Everyone was awakened by his shouting and hurriedly got up and ran to the fire.
Hu Lu slept barefoot because her shoes were wet. After she was awakened, she saw the scorpion on the ground but didn't dare to get down and run away. When she saw the black scorpion crawling on the wood at the end of the bed, she shrank back in fear.
But there was someone behind her, so Hu Lu could only stand up and pull Wei Wei, who was closest to her.
The backpack was pulled and there was another one hidden underneath.
"Help!" Hu Lu screamed in fear and jumped directly onto Wei Wei, "Wei Wei, Wei Wei, I'm scared."
She was afraid that Wei Wei would push her away, so when she jumped on him, she hugged his neck tightly, buried her head in his shoulder and trembled all over.
Other animals are fine, she is not that afraid of snakes. When she accidentally entered the snake's nest, she could be said to be the relatively calm one among the female guests. But scorpions are really her biggest fear, and she dare not even look at them.
Wei Wei didn't push her away. In fact, when Hu Lu stood up, he extended his hand before Hu Lu.
Having interrogated so many prisoners, he was used to being able to tell whether a person's screams were out of fear or false acting. Hu Lu's voice, calling for help, suddenly became hoarse. Scorpions are always extremely poisonous, and he couldn't just watch and not lend a helping hand.
So he grabbed Hu Lu by the waist and hung her by his side, then used his toes to pick up a few stones and sent the scorpions flying away.
[Hu Lu is really smart. Clinging to someone is nothing. This time she just hugged the person directly.]
[Wow, I'm really shocked by Wei Wei's arm strength. He can lift someone up with one hand, and it's so easy.]
[Damn it, I feel like the muscles flexed under Wei Wei's clothes are super sexy]
[Wow wow wow!! He actually picked up the girl with one hand easily. I underestimated his size and physical strength.]
[This arm strength is really amazing. With just one hand, my boyfriend has a hard time hugging me with both hands. And I only weigh 100 pounds. It really shows that appearance cannot be judged.]
[Hey, hey, hey, Wei Wei is actually being a gentleman. He's holding Hu Lu's waist without even stretching out his fingers, and his fists are clenched tightly.]
[Why do these two look like a perfect couple when hugging each other?]
Hu Lu usually looks quite bold, but why is she so petite in Wei Wei's arms?
Is it possible that because Wei Wei has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his arms are stronger than those of the muscular men who are only good for show, that even if Chen Nan is stuffed into his arms, she will still look petite?
It’s not the difference in body shape, but the difference in temperament.
Wei Wei standing there is a natural and solid protective barrier. He can easily solve all the problems that others cannot solve, and can also lead everyone through the difficulties safely.
The guests on the scene and the audience in the live broadcast room have long regarded him as the most trustworthy backbone of the team.
Therefore, anyone in front of him is always less dazzling than him.
Wei Wei carried Hu Lu back to the fire. Hu Lu lay on his shoulder, too close and breathing too quickly. Her warm breath fanned his neck. He felt uncomfortable and didn't like it, so he pushed her out to Ruan Mengmeng and Lin Yue, but Hu Lu held his arms tightly and refused to let go.
Everyone used branches, firewood, and feet to stomp on the scorpions, and they drove away a lot of them, but they could still see many small scorpions crawling around where they slept. When the firelight came close to them, they ran away to the darkness. They couldn't see every dark place, which made everyone panic.
Zhang Longtong: "There are so many scorpions. What's going on? We didn't disturb the scorpion nest."
"There were none before, how come so many of them suddenly appeared?" The big monkey looked around and it seemed that they were only in the area where they slept.
Zhou Youguan was the first to pull himself out and kicked away the one he had crushed to death. "Did you check the surroundings when you set up camp?"
The fear on Ruan Mengmeng's face had not yet dissipated. "I checked. This place is not a low-lying area, nor is it near a stagnant pool. There are not many mosquitoes. There is no wind in the rainforest, so I didn't choose a place that is sheltered from the wind..."
Her voice gradually became smaller and smaller: "I observed everything according to what you and Brother Wei usually taught me."
But she really didn't find any scorpion nest, nor any ant nest, let alone a scorpion nest.
Wei Wei carried Hu Lu away, and after several attempts, he finally pulled her down and handed her over to Ruan Mengmeng and the others.
When being let down, Hu Lu was obviously a little regretful and disappointed. Wei Wei looked like he was not close to either men or women. Could they really date?
Everyone dispersed to look for any remaining scorpions. Zhou Youguan reminded them not to reach directly into the backpack to avoid being stung by any scorpions that were missed and could not be seen with the naked eye.
They each picked up a branch to hit their backpacks. Those scorpions would not attack people for no reason. If they were driven away, they would run to a place suitable for them to live.
Soon the scorpions around the fire were driven away. Seeing that they all sat down to rest, Hu Lu dared to get her scorpions and backpack.
She felt uncomfortable walking barefoot, so she picked up her shoes and put them on first. As soon as she put her feet in, she screamed in pain as if she had been electrocuted.
A sudden, tragic and terrified cry broke through the dark night, and the big monkey, whose butt had not yet landed, stood up suddenly because of Hu Lu's cry.
There was a scorpion in her shoe, and she didn't check the shoes to see if there was anything inside before putting them on, so she was bitten directly.
After hiding for a whole night, I was surprised to find myself in such a place.
From the first day they came here, Zhou Youguan told them that after taking off their shoes in the wild, they should hang them upside down high, and before putting on their shoes, they should also check that there is nothing in the shoes to prevent poisonous insects and ants from crawling in and stepping on them in the middle of the night and hurting them.
Hu Lu herself has some experience in survival in the wild, and this simplest and most basic awareness should be kept in mind at all times.
But she was thinking about Wei Wei at that time, and her mind was distracted by her wild thoughts, so she fell into the trap.
The sting left a wound the size of a grain of rice on the sole of her foot, which soon turned red. Fortunately, the scorpion hidden in her shoe was not an adult scorpion with sufficient toxicity, but unfortunately, all rainforest scorpions are toxic, but adult scorpions are more toxic, while young scorpions are less toxic.
Before Hu Lu could say a few words, she felt numbness in the soles of her feet. Wei Wei took protective measures on several acupoints on her legs to prevent the spread of the poison, but she was too afraid of this kind of animal. Soon, her psychological tension caused the poison to spread rapidly from her legs, and she suffered from neurological poisoning.
Hu Lu rolled her eyes and scared everyone, who was at a loss what to do. Zhou Youxuan pressed her philtrum several times before she could breathe again.
Hu Lu couldn't go on in this condition. They had no emergency medicine, only some anti-inflammatory drugs. If Hu Lu became short of breath again, they couldn't guarantee that they could save her every time.
"What should I do?" Ruan Mengmeng bit her hand, extremely nervous.
Zhao Guanjun said: "Please ask the production team for help, otherwise she might be poisoned to death."
Hu Lu's physical condition these days is different from before. She has not had nutritional supplements for a long time, her immunity has declined, and her psychological factors will aggravate the surge of toxins in her nerves, which is very unfavorable in every aspect.
"But, but should we ask Hu Lu's opinion?"
What if Hu Lu is unwilling to quit and they help her press the survival button, but Hu Lu blames them?
Zhao Guanjun didn't let them hesitate, he took Hu Lu's hand and helped her press the survival button.
Hu Lu still had some consciousness left. She looked at Wei Wei beside her, wanting to say something but unable to.
Zhou Youguan then discovered that it wasn't just Wang Ren who looked at Wei Wei with that kind of gaze, Hu Lu also...
