Chapter 10: Team

Wu Jiayou deliberately breathed a sigh of relief in front of the camera, as if he had coaxed an ignorant child. This reaction made the other people feel even more dissatisfied with Jiang Wu.

Guan Qi rolled her eyes directly at the camera.

Wu Jiayou quickly began to distribute tools. The climbing rope was not needed at the moment and had to be put aside. The iron pot was assigned to Ji Ruoxuan to fetch water, accompanied by Jiang Wu. The nail clipper-sized blade was given to Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu looked at the blade but didn't say anything. Instead, Ji Ruoxuan couldn't help but speak up, "Brother Wu, this blade can only be used to cut nails. What if we encounter danger on the road? Can we change it to the dagger?"

"We only have one dagger, so we have to use it somewhere else. Don't worry, the production team won't really find an island full of wild animals, snakes and insects for us to stay on."

"But it takes more than three hours to get water back and forth, and it will be dark when we get back. How about we use seawater to distill some today?"

"Fresh water is an essential resource in the wild, more important than food. It takes too long to distill seawater. I know it's hard to get water. If I didn't have to stay here to instruct others, I would definitely go by myself."

Wu Jiayou patted Ji Ruoxuan with an embarrassed look on his face, then looked at Jiang Wu, "This is all for everyone. Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Wu glanced at him, said nothing, and left. Ji Ruoxuan hurriedly followed with the pot.

On the other side of the jungle, Ji Ruoxuan and Jiang Wu walked in the jungle for half an hour. There were trees and bushes everywhere, winding vines entangled, and thorns everywhere. For the two people who only had an iron pot, it was almost impossible to move forward. The photographer behind them had scratches on his face and hands.

Ji Ruoxuan wiped the sweat from his head, looked at the thorn-covered road in front of him, and said in annoyance, "I told you to bring a dagger, but Brother Wu insisted that it was not necessary. How can I get through now..."

"Then I won't go." Jiang Wu said suddenly.

Ji Ruoxuan was stunned, "We're not going to get water?"

"Take it, but don't go to the location on the map." Jiang Wu's eyes fell on the winding brown vines behind him, and his fingertips shook out a thin blade, "Pot."

Ji Ruoxuan followed with the pot in his hand, looking bewildered.

The thin blade quickly swept across the vine at a subtle angle. In just a moment, the wrist-thick vine was cut in half, but the thin blade was not damaged at all, and clear fresh water flowed slowly from the vine.

Ji Ruoxuan was stunned, "Amazing! His knife skills are as good as those of Lanzhou ramen chefs!"

“…”

It took less than an hour for the two to return with a large pot full of fresh water. Everyone was very surprised and asked them how they came back so quickly. Ji Ruoxuan could not wait to describe how Jiang Wu found a large amount of fresh water from the vines, and especially repeatedly praised Jiang Wu's amazing knife skills.

Wu Jiayou suddenly became serious after hearing this. "How can you drink water in the wild? What if it's poisonous?"

Ji Ruoxuan was stunned by the scolding and said hesitantly, "Brother Jiang said there is no problem..."

"He said he could drink it, so he could drink it?"

Wu Jiayou said anxiously, "There are several of us. If something happens after we drink it, the medical staff of the program team won't be able to save us."

Bi Yan lowered his head and tasted the water in the pot. "It has no strange smell and is not bitter. It should be drinkable. What you found should be water vine, which is an important way to obtain fresh water in the wild. But it is really hard to find in the wild. You are lucky."

It was obvious from his words that he didn't realize Jiang Wuzhen knew Shui Teng.

Wu Jiayou glanced at Jiang Wu indifferently and said, "Not every time you are so lucky, you better be more careful next time."

Jiang Wu's tone was slightly cold, "If I say it's non-toxic, it's a lie, but if he says it's non-toxic, it must be true?"

Several people looked a little embarrassed, and Bi Yan quickly explained, "That's not what they meant. It's just because I know more about this aspect, not because I don't believe you."

Ji Ruoxuan and Nie Yumeng also spoke up in agreement.

Jiang Wu raised his eyes and looked at Wu Jiayou, "In that case, you blamed me wrongly, shouldn't you apologize to me?"

Wu Jiayou's expression changed slightly. "I questioned it out of consideration for everyone's safety. This is my responsibility as the captain. And your behavior is indeed problematic. I just said that you were lucky this time. What about next time? How dare you let Ji Ruoxuan drink it directly?"

Ji Ruoxuan said hurriedly: "I want to drink it myself..."

Wu Jiayou asked, "Didn't you dare to drink it because he said it wasn't poisonous? Did he stop you when you drank it?"

Ji Ruoxuan choked. Indeed, he drank it because Jiang Wu said it was not poisonous and Jiang Wu did not stop him. Although he didn't know why he believed Jiang Wu at that time, he was a little scared when he thought about it now. What if it was really poisonous?

Nie Yumeng said in a low voice, "Jiang Wu, Brother Wu also cares about everyone, so don't be angry."

Jiang Wu asked calmly, "So you won't apologize?"

“…”

Guan Qi said impatiently, "It's only the first day, and there are still many things to be resolved. Can you please stop arguing over trivial matters? How can we cooperate in the next few days?"

Jiang Wu followed suit and said, "Then don't cooperate."

Several people were stunned. Guan Qi looked at Jiang Wu with wide eyes, "What do you mean?"

"Literally."

Jiang Wu turned and looked at the director Yang Chen in front of him, "You said teamwork, but you didn't say we can't split into two teams, right?"

Yang Chen was also a little confused. Although the team did have disagreements as he expected, the trend was wrong. What happened to the agreement to quarrel and adjust before cooperating? Why did they want to break up right away?

"Uh...yeah, but who are you going to team up with?"

"I'm on my own."

“…”

Yang Chen opened his mouth for a while before he responded, "Well, Jiang Wu, survival on a deserted island often requires teamwork. You may not be able to survive alone."

Jiang Wuben also wanted to cooperate with these people, but now it seems unnecessary, "No need."

After a moment of silence, the director team chose to pause and called a few people for an emergency discussion, but the camera was still running. Wu Jiayou and others sat together without saying a word. Jiang Wu sat alone in a corner not far away, and the atmosphere was very stagnant.

No one expected that the conflict would escalate to this point on the first day, and no one thought that Jiang Wu would make such a fuss over such a small matter.

Half an hour later, the director team came to a conclusion and agreed to Jiang Wu's request. They announced that Jiang Wu would form another team and take over the second map as the captain.

At the same time, the director announced that because Jiang Wu was separated from a separate team and was on the weaker side, he could take away any item from the original team.

As soon as these words came out, Wu Jiayou and others immediately panicked. Wu Jiayou hurriedly said, "Director, this is unfair. Can't you let him redraw his tools himself?"

"Yes, Director, Brother Wu originally drew the tool. Everyone's luck is different!"

“…”

However, Director Yang did not respond to them and continued to let Jiang Wu choose a tool to take away.

"No need." Jiang Wu raised the thin blade between his fingers, "This is enough."

The people on the side were all stunned. They were worried that Jiang Wu would take the opportunity to take away a dagger or a lighter, but they didn't expect that he only took a blade, which seemed to show that they had overreacted just now.

The entire team stood there awkwardly, and only at this moment did they realize that Jiang Wu was serious.

Guan Qi turned away expressionlessly, "This is his own choice, no one forced him, just don't cry when the time comes."

Although the others didn't say anything, they all had the same idea. This was a deserted island and he was alone with nothing. Not to mention anything else, he didn't even have a lighter. He couldn't eat raw food and would probably have to beg them for food.

The director team also felt that Jiang Wu would eventually ask Wu Jiayou and others for help, but this would make the story more interesting, and they were happy to see it happen.
