The rain started and lasted for three days straight. Although it wasn't raining constantly, the intensity of the rain brought by the typhoon was inconsistent, and the typhoon itself was quite strong. Beachcombing and spearfishing were out of the question, and exploring the shelter in search of food became extremely difficult. In the midst of the wind and rain, visibility was poor, and every step had to be taken with extreme caution, for fear of slipping and falling.
Of course, no one in the group would risk going out to find food; they all stayed in the shelter to rest and conserve their energy.
Inside the E group shelter.
"Xiao Zhang, lunch is ready." Song Tie handed a grilled banana to Xiao Zhang, one of the amateurs in their group.
"Sister Tie, you eat it yourself. My stomach hurts. I'm afraid I've developed stomach problems from hunger." Xiao Zhang, a novice in Group E, looked at the charred banana, which was slightly larger than an adult's thumb. She shook her head, her face pale.
Although Group E's shelter was built reasonably well, they were simply unlucky and couldn't obtain any food, let alone store any for emergencies.
When the first typhoon hit, they had just arrived on the island and were full of energy. They managed to get through it in a few days. This time, they had been on the island for more than half a month, and their physical strength and energy were not as abundant as before.
Now trapped in the shelter, unable to go out to find food, and with all the food they had stored up long ago gone, leaving only a few scattered, withered fruits, everyone's mood became heavy, and a depressing atmosphere filled the air.
"I want to withdraw from the competition." At this moment, Xiao Zhang, an ordinary person, shouted to the drone outside the shelter.
The others in the shelter seemed to have figured out what Xiao Zhang was up to.
As soon as Xiao Zhang finished speaking, the shelter fell silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Zhang, filled with a mixture of surprise, understanding, and a complex mix of emotions.
The wind and rain outside seemed to lessen at that moment. The drone hovered in mid-air, its camera steadily aimed at Xiao Zhang, recording this crucial decision.
"Xiao Zhang, are you sure you want to withdraw from the competition?" He Jiong's voice came from the drone.
Xiao Zhang took a deep breath, his eyes resolute: "I'm definitely withdrawing from the competition. My body really can't take it anymore. I don't want to be a burden to everyone, and I don't want my actions to jeopardize the entire team's chances of survival. Keep going, I believe in you all!"
"Okay! Staff will come to escort you away in thirty minutes."
On this day, an arrow pierced the clouds, sending off another contestant.
........
Inside the large live broadcast room.
"Tomorrow marks the second turning point in 'Man vs. Wild,' and I'm sure all viewers are looking forward to this change."
The variable element involves teamwork. The production team will transport the five teams to another island to complete the variable element tasks and obtain survival supplies.
As for what kind of variable it will be, I'll keep you in suspense for now. Please stay tuned for tomorrow's episode!
However, the program team released the first hidden task: the first member of the group to drink the Anmuxi yogurt placed by the program team tomorrow will have a chance for exemption! As soon as He Jiong finished speaking, the live broadcast room instantly boiled over, and the barrage of comments sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
"Haha! I love this kind of unknown thrill!"
"Zhao Liying and Dilraba are both foodies, so it's most likely that they drank Anmuxi first and thus gained exemption."
"Hoping Group A wins."
"I support my brother Cheng Yi."
"Tomorrow's live stream is sure to be amazing! I can't wait to see how the contestants will show off their skills! But tomorrow is Friday, and I have to go to work!"
"Upstairs, luckily I was prepared. I've already taken annual leave and am resting at home watching the live stream."
"Haha! Our boss also likes watching 'Man vs. Wild' and is a fan of Fatty. In order to watch the live stream, he specifically asked all of us employees to watch it with him and cheer for Fatty."
"Upstairs, what company are you? Are you hiring? Introduce me to your company."
He Jiong looked at the scrolling comments on the screen, a smile playing on his lips, and continued, "This is just the first hidden mission. During this period of uncertainty, the production team will release more hidden missions, so please stay tuned!"
...
[Ding! The system has issued a task. Host, do you wish to accept it?]
【Yes!】 Li Yinsheng clicked to accept without hesitation. The task issued by the system was almost certainly going to give her a reward, so why not take it?
[The second unexpected turn in "Survival on a Desert Island": The host wins first place! Rewards include unlocking one random beginner skill, upgrading one existing beginner skill to an intermediate level, two shop keys, five attribute points, and ten lottery draws!]
[Ding! Since the host has successfully accepted the mission, a message has been awarded to the host! The production team has released a hidden mini-mission: the group whose members are the first to drink the Anmuxi yogurt provided by the production team tomorrow will have an exemption!]
[System, I need to know what hidden tasks the production team has released, and what the price is.]
[You can spend one million popularity points to send a reminder! Host, do you want to activate reminder mode?]
[Start!]
[Activate the notification feature to alert the production team about hidden tasks. Each notification costs one million popularity points!]
Li Yinsheng quickly calculated in his mind. This hidden mission seemed simple, but it might actually be the key to turning the tide. In a game like "Survival on a Desert Island," immunity is undoubtedly an extremely valuable resource, giving them an extra advantage in the upcoming uncertainties. As for the "million popularity points," although considerable, considering the potential benefits, it seemed worthwhile.
"The second major change is coming tomorrow. I'm a little excited, nervous, and nervous!" That day, Zhao Liying and the others lay in the shelter. Zhao Liying was sleeping in the middle, holding the arms of Li Yinsheng and Liu Yifei on either side, and said excitedly.
"Tomorrow's big meeting will be a chance to see the situation and number of people in each of the five groups. It looks like it'll be another fierce battle!" Huang Xiaoming said with anticipation.
"We need to rest early today and get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow's uncertainties will determine the survival and honor of our entire team, so we can't afford to be careless." Zhao Liying's eyes shone with determination, and her words were filled with a sense of responsibility for the team and aspirations for the future.
Li Yinsheng gently patted Zhao Liying's hand, offering her silent encouragement: "Don't worry, Yingbao, we will all do our best. Get a good rest tonight, recharge your energy, and be in top condition to meet the challenge tomorrow."
Whether it's Group A, Group B, or any other group, everyone is anticipating tomorrow's uncertainties. A tense yet excited atmosphere permeates the air on Jinsha Island, as if everyone is getting excited about the upcoming changes.
Meanwhile, members of other groups on Sand Island were also preparing in their own ways. Many groups were discussing strategies in hushed tones.
Tomorrow, things will change, but they are ready.
