On the first day of the typhoon, Groups B, D, and E all encountered various problems during the storm, but none of them were serious and they were able to resolve them safely.
However, when the viewers who watched the live stream came back the next day, they saw that Group C had eliminated two contestants in one night. They replayed the live stream clips from the previous day and found that Group C was really in a bad situation. The barrage of comments was filled with red text and there was a lot of discussion.
"Replaying the live stream clips of Group C, I really feel that Group C is in a terrible situation. Apart from Group A, who are eating and drinking well, the other three groups can at least get hot food. Group C can't even start a fire now, they are nothing."
"My poor Tangtang and Reba have to endure this extreme test."
"Group C has turned a survival challenge into an extreme survival challenge!"
"I really hope that the changes in a few days will come soon, and I hope that the changes made by the production team can save Group C and solve Group C's predicament."
Looking at the screen, the biting wind made Group C's camp appear exceptionally desolate and helpless. Despite their defiant smiles, Tangtang and Reba's shivering bodies betrayed the difficult situation they faced.
........
Seven days later.
Director Hongtao immediately convened a meeting with the program crew.
"How many days did this typhoon last? When did it pass?" Hongtao frowned, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the conference room.
Two people were eliminated in one night. Group C is in a bad situation, and there is a fear that something unexpected might happen. One person from the group was eliminated directly. The situation of the other groups, except for Group A, is not very optimistic.
This will inevitably affect the overall progress of the program and its viewership.
"The typhoon will be over in two days. It was stronger this morning, but its impact on Jinsha Island will gradually weaken by the afternoon and into tomorrow. All we need to do now is get through this morning," said Cai An'an, one of the young and beautiful female directors.
Cai An'an was originally an assistant to a director on the show. She recommended Li Yinsheng, an ordinary person, to join the show, which made Li Yinsheng shine on the show and win the love and attention of the audience. She became a highlight of the show, and the ratings and online viewership both skyrocketed because of Li Yinsheng's presence.
As a result, Cai An'an was promoted to a full-fledged director, and won the team's recognition with her keen insight and meticulous work attitude.
Besides, Cai An'an is also Li Yinsheng's best friend, confidante, and classmate, although they went to different universities.
"Director, based on the five groups' experience surviving the typhoon, the variables ten days later might not be suitable for their current situation. Shouldn't we change these variables?" At this moment, a director raised a question.
The unexpected event, originally scheduled for ten days later, will test the coordination and teamwork of the five teams.
For example, there are challenges like scrambling for supplies at sea, or completing complex survival challenges with limited resources, such as rapidly felling trees or building ships – all requiring considerable effort and unpredictable factors. However, considering the recent impact of typhoons and the dual test of physical and mental strength for each team member, this variable definitely needs to be reassessed.
"The variables that were set before are indeed no longer suitable. At present, we need to replenish the physical strength and food of the contestants in each group."
"Do you have any other ideas? Quickly come up with a plan." Hong Tao pondered for a moment, then glanced around at everyone in the conference room again, his tone leaving no room for argument.
"Actually, I have an idea. Next time there's a change, we could change it to replacing teammates with amateurs."
The amateurs are sent to other groups to exchange for food. They try to find food to eat and earn points for their team. For example, they can pick three pounds of wild vegetables to exchange for one point, one pound of meat to exchange for one point, or a coconut or coconut shell to exchange for one point.
Our production team will also create a points redemption table, for example, ten points can be redeemed for ten kilograms of rice, five points for a seasoning set, three points for a roll of toilet paper, and so on, listing all kinds of food, drinks and daily necessities.
Also, and most importantly, those items are marked as being redeemable only once. That is, once a group redeems an item, it will be removed from the store, and other groups will no longer be able to redeem it.
In this way, the amateurs will do their best to find food in the replacement teams, which will not only solve the food problem for the replacement teams, but also accumulate points for their own teams to exchange for survival supplies, and there will be no cheating or shirking. "At this moment, Cai An'an suddenly revealed her idea in the conference room.
"Your idea is quite good. You want to put Fatty in Group C so that she can find food for Group C and give them a boost." Hong Tao quickly understood Cai An'an's intention. He looked at Cai An'an with an approving expression and nodded in satisfaction.
I think Cai An'an is very suitable to be a director. She is adaptable, quick-witted, flexible, and hardworking.
“Not bad.” Cai An’an nodded.
“Okay, let’s follow Cai An’an’s idea. You all need to think it over and refine it, and then come up with a plan as soon as possible.”
The situation will change immediately after the typhoon passes, without having to wait ten days for changes to occur.
"Be cautious when choosing teams to replace amateur players." After giving a few more instructions, the meeting concluded.
........
Inside the shelter at Group A's camp, everyone was busy with their own tasks.
Li Xiang made a few more bows and arrows, while Li Yinsheng was busy finishing the mahjong set.
After Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Yixing, and a few others were responsible for cutting and polishing the wooden plaques, Li Yinsheng only needed to carve the patterns on the plaques.
Finally, on the afternoon of the seventh day, Li Yinsheng carved a set of 108 mahjong tiles, without any wind tiles.
After the mahjong chairs were finished, Liu Yifei and Huang Xiaoming immediately pulled Zhao Liying and Zhang Yixing together to start playing mahjong.
They went straight into a bloody battle from the start.
The maximum score is only sixteen. Zhang Yixing doesn't know how to play yet, but Liu Yifei and Huang Xiaoming are teaching him. With mahjong to play, everyone's interest is high, and time flies by.
The viewers in the live stream were also very excited, with the barrage of comments scrolling by, expressing their curiosity and anticipation for this mahjong game under special circumstances.
"People are struggling to survive in the wilderness, barely having enough to eat and drink, while Group A is playing mahjong. It's hilarious."
"This must be the most luxurious outdoor mahjong game in history! They even made the mahjong tiles themselves!"
"This chubby girl is simply a master craftswoman; she can even make such exquisite mahjong tiles!"
"Tsk tsk tsk! Look at the other groups, then look at Group A. There's no harm in comparison."
"Yixing, don't play the second stripe. The leader Hu Qing has a full set of two and five white stripes, which is sixteen points."
"Have you guys noticed? Yingbao is a hidden master. She almost never loses by discarding tiles that would allow others to win. She always manages to win by narrowly escaping defeat."
