However, Hongtao noticed that the various groups were not as coordinated as Group A when setting up traps or building shelters. In particular, when setting up traps, they were all working independently and setting up their own traps.
While this method increases efficiency, it clearly lacks the essence of teamwork. Hong Tao knows that in wilderness survival challenges, teamwork and coordination are often more important than individual skills.
It is also safer and more efficient.
"Fatty from Group A did a good job as captain. Perhaps she could be appointed as captain for the national war."
Judging from the current situation, she knows a lot about wilderness survival skills, knows how to use a bow and arrow, recognizes many plants, knows acupuncture and massage, is strong, has a physique that is no less than that of a man, and can endure hardship. Isn't she the most suitable candidate? Hong Tao thought to himself, his eyes unconsciously following Li Yinsheng's figure.
After the fourth and fifth rounds of variables were played out simultaneously, the live stream viewers flooded the chat with comments.
"Group A's teamwork is really excellent! Whether it's Sisi and the leader setting up traps together, or Fatty and Yixing building shelters, they seem to be handling it with ease, as if they have a tacit understanding with each other without needing to say a word."
"It seems that after these dozens of days of survival on the desert island, Team A's teamwork has reached a whole new level. They can not only complete their respective tasks efficiently, but also react quickly in emergencies and provide each other with the strongest support."
"I really admire the bond between the six members of Group A. It seems that no matter what difficulties and challenges they face, they can work together. This tacit understanding and unity allowed their souls to grow and be sublimated in adversity during their survival on the deserted island."
"The Zhou brothers, Zhou Chuang and Zhou Fan, set up traps very quickly. You can tell they are veterans. It looks like the fourth game might be the most variable in the group."
"Hahaha! Look at how clumsy Hu Ge and Dilraba are setting up the trap in Group C. It was Fatty who taught them this technique."
"Fatty and Yixing set up the shelter very quickly; they worked together really well."
"The other groups' shelters were all disorganized and looked very chaotic. It was much more pleasing to the eye to watch Fatty and Yixing build their shelters."
...
The shelter built by Li Yinsheng is a quadrilateral shelter.
Several long, sturdy logs were selected as supports and driven into the soil to ensure stability. Then, they were joined together with thinner vines to form a stable quadrilateral structure. This structure would become the basic framework of the shelter.
Once the frame was erected, banana leaves were used to cover the frame and sides to ensure the roof was thick enough to withstand wind, rain, and cold.
This wasn't the first time Li Yinsheng and Zhang Yixing had built a shelter. During his twenty days of survival on the deserted island, Zhang Yixing had also learned many skills.
He knew how to do many things without Li Yinsheng having to tell him.
Four holes were dug, and then wooden sticks were buried in them. Li Yinsheng used vines to tightly wrap the wooden sticks together, reinforcing the connection between the pillars and the ground, making the entire shelter more stable.
As time passed, the shelter built by Li Yinsheng and Zhang Yixing became more and more complete.
Finally, Li Yinsheng also found several large rocks and placed them in the four corners of the shelter to withstand possible sudden strong winds and increase stability.
Seeing that there was still some time, Li Yinsheng simply laid out a bed inside the shelter using banana leaves and pine needles.
"All done." Li Yinsheng looked at her makeshift shelter, clapped her hands, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Time's up. All team members, please stop what you're doing. Our production team will be checking the traps you set for the fourth round of variables, testing their sensitivity."
Now, let's invite our production team to bring in commentators Ed and Bear Grylls to give their feedback on the shelter you've built." At this moment, He Jiong's voice came from the loudspeaker on the beach.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the group had to obediently stop what they were doing.
"Edward, Bear Grylls, which group's shelter do you want to critique first?" He Jiong smiled at the two survival experts standing beside him, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Let's rent one from Group A first! I just saw the shelter that Group A built from afar. Judging from its shape, it's a quadrilateral shelter. I wonder how stable it is?" Bear Grylls walked towards the shelter built by Group A. When he saw Li Yinsheng, he gave her a friendly smile.
"It's sturdy enough, but the shelter has four large rocks in the four corners to withstand possible strong winds and increase stability, which is good."
"The shelter was quickly set up inside, and it was quite good in terms of speed, practicality, and appearance. If I were to give it a score out of ten, I'd give Group A eight and a half." Bear Grylls inspected the shelter built by Group A, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. Then, he turned to Ed, asking for his opinion, "Ed, what do you think?"
Ed nodded, walked slowly to the shelter, crossed his arms, and sharply scanned every detail. "Indeed, Bear Grylls' assessment is very accurate. Group A's shelter took environmental factors into account in its design, using natural resources—large rocks—to reinforce the structure, which is a smart approach."
"It's clear they have excellent teamwork skills and some survival knowledge. However," Ed changed the subject, crouching down and gently tapping a few joints in the wooden stakes, "here, and here, the binding between the stakes is a bit loose. If there's heavy rain or several days of bad weather, it could become a hazard. Therefore, I have some reservations about its stability. However, building a shelter like this in such a short time is already quite impressive. Overall, though, Group A's performance is outstanding; I'd give it an eight."
Upon hearing this, He Jiong smiled with satisfaction. He knew that these two survival experts were always strict in their evaluations, and it was truly remarkable to receive such a score. "Thank you very much for your professional comments, Ed and Bear Grylls. Now, shouldn't we go check out Group B's situation?"
When they arrived at Group B, they found that the shelter they had built was just a few pieces of wood arranged in a triangle. They didn't know if it was because they didn't have enough time or what, but the construction was terrible. With just one push from Ed, the triangular shelter tilted to one side. In the end, it only received a four-point rating from Ed and Bear Grylls.
They then headed together toward the shelter that Group C had set up.
They discovered that Group C's shelter was circular in design, surrounded by a net-like structure woven from branches and vines, and covered with large leaves on top, making it both concealed and somewhat waterproof.
"Hmm, circular structures are very stable in nature and can effectively disperse wind force. It seems that Group C has put in a lot of effort. Six points." Bear Grylls spoke first, clearly approving of Group B's idea.
"Indeed, Group B's shelter is quite outstanding in both creativity and practicality. The circular design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical and safe. If some details could be improved, such as reinforcing the support points to ensure the safe use of the fire pit, then it would be a near-perfect shelter. Six points."
Then, checking groups d and E, Ed Stafford and Bear Grylls gave scores of six and seven points respectively.
