Kalba's eyes instantly lit up again, as if he had grasped at the last straw, and he excitedly blurted out, "Dad... save me!"
These were the only Chinese words he could think of after racking his brains, and in this life-or-death situation, these two words were almost his only hope.
"Hehe, can't understand smida." Lu Fan's lips curled up slightly, with a playful chuckle, his expression showing complete disregard for Kalba's plea for help.
"Looking at the pathetic state you're in now, you're probably beyond saving. Who told you to hang out with that guy Mei Chuan Neiku and spend all your time doing bad things?"
As he spoke, Lu Fan stood up, shook his head helplessly, and a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes, as if he were looking at a clown who was reaping the consequences of his own actions.
An Lan stood to the side, her once clear eyes now filled with a mixture of fear and curiosity.
Her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her dress, her voice trembling slightly: "Is...is he really beyond saving?"
"He's probably beyond saving. He was stung by a bee like that, then hit so hard by the big horn, and he also had an allergic reaction. His luck is just incredibly bad."
Lu Fan spread his hands, his tone as calm as if he were discussing the weather, as if the life or death of the person in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Just then, Kalba's body twitched uncontrollably a few times, as if being violently pulled by the hand of fate.
Then, his eyes slowly closed, and he became completely still, as if swallowed up by darkness.
An Lan asked instinctively, "He...he's dead?"
"Yeah, he's dead."
Lu Fan's answer was brief and concise, as calm as a bottomless lake, without a ripple, as if it were just an ordinary thing that happens every day in the wilderness.
[Wilderness Survival Announcement]
American athlete Karba dies from bee allergy and serious injury from a buck.
American athlete Kalba triggers a 10,000-fold return.
[10,000 people in the US will randomly experience severe allergic reactions]
[10,000 mad male deer (containing toxins and inedible) will descend upon the United States, indiscriminately attacking humans until they die.]
The live stream chat instantly exploded, with comments scrolling wildly like a tidal wave:
"Haha, it's finally America's turn."
"This is truly gratifying!"
"These foreigners are really lame; it's unbelievable that they died from an allergic reaction."
"Haha, our boss was so happy that he doubled his salary."
"Huh? Why did I get a severe scolding from my boss for watching a live stream at work?"
"That's great, this kind of bad guy deserves to die like this!"
"Kalba must regret not learning more Chinese."
Immediately afterwards, the wilderness survival announcement rang in everyone's ears again:
[Wilderness Survival Announcement]
Chinese player Lu Fan defeats American player Kalba.
[China will receive half of the resources triggered by the American player, Kalba]
[Small Berry Cluster 5000]
[5000 Healthy Wild Rabbits]
5000 flint
【Nuts 5000】
...
In the blink of an eye, half of the supplies that Karba triggered, originally belonging to the United States, appeared in China as if by magic.
This unexpected windfall has excited Chinese netizens, and the entire internet is immersed in a sea of joy.
"Why are my eyes often filled with tears? Because I laugh until I cry."
"Haha, he tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead. Now he's even lost his life."
"Lu Fan is awesome! He took down an enemy without even lifting a finger!"
However, the American audience reacted like a powder keg that had been lit, instantly erupting in fury.
They started furiously criticizing Lu Fan in the live stream, with malicious comments flooding the screen:
"Look, this is the Chinese athlete; he committed murder on purpose!"
"Yes, he knew Kalba was injured, but he didn't help him. That's murder!"
"The Chinese athletes are too cruel; they deserve an explanation!"
Chinese viewers, upon seeing these distorted and fabricated statements, stepped forward and fiercely refuted them:
"Don't talk nonsense. He stole things, got stung by bees, and was hit by a big horn. What does it have to do with Lu Fan?"
"Exactly, he did something wrong, who can he blame? And he has the nerve to criticize others."
"People from the United States have double standards. They don't care when their own athletes do bad things, but they make a big deal out of other people's mistakes."
The viewers on both sides were locked in a fierce argument in the live broadcast room, and the tension was escalating.
Some troublemakers in the United States have even begun to systematically incite public opinion, stirring up unhealthy trends and evil practices.
They strongly demanded that China provide them with half of its resources as compensation, a ridiculous and absurd demand, much like the logic of a robber.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan and An Lan were completely unaware of this, as they were focused on tidying up the shelter that Kalba had turned upside down.
Big Black, on the other hand, skillfully dragged Karba's corpse out of the shelter to process it into excrement.
As Lu Fan deftly tidied up the scattered items, he remarked to An Lan, "These people just can't stand seeing others do well. They get envious of my abundant resources and try to steal them."
As he said this, a hint of helplessness and disdain appeared in his eyes.
"Yes, but he was really unlucky, getting stung by a bee and then hit by a giant horn."
As An Lan spoke, she couldn't help but chuckle. Her clear laughter echoed in the somewhat messy shelter, adding a touch of relaxation to the tense atmosphere.
"This is called reaping what you sow; who told him to have such malicious intentions?" Lu Fan replied with a smile, a smile that carried a hint of mockery yet also a firm conviction in justice.
"Alright, forget about him. Let's clean this place up and have a good meal tonight to celebrate getting through this tough time."
As he spoke, Lu Fan gently helped An Lan sit down and rest.
An Lan was about to stand up to help when Lu Fan gently pressed her down: "Your foot isn't healed yet, so just sit here and rest."
Lu Fan was busy for a while, his figure shuttling back and forth in the shelter, his back soaked with sweat, but he showed no sign of stopping.
Finally, thanks to his efforts, the shelter was tidied up and everything returned to its former cleanliness and warmth.
Taking advantage of this time, An Lan also began to carefully examine Lu Fan's shelter.
The first thing that catches the eye is a fence about a meter high, which, like a loyal guardian, tightly protects the entire shelter.
Stepping through the fence, a large square bamboo house stands firmly in the center, simple yet sturdy.
Next to it was a warm and cozy little nest, clearly prepared for Big Black, with soft hay lining it.
To the left of the bamboo house is a spacious shed for Big Horn and Sheep. The shed is not only spacious, but also thoughtfully equipped with a feeding trough, showing that Lu Fan takes meticulous care of them.
Next to it was a small shed, inside which many ores were neatly piled up. Different types of ores were divided into two piles, shimmering with a unique light under the sunlight.
Next to it was a manure pile, cleverly covered with some large leaves, which served both a protective function and made the whole yard look less cluttered.
In front of the bamboo house, where An Lan is now sitting, there is a tall iron smelting furnace. Traces left from previous iron smelting remain on the furnace wall, as if telling a story of the past.
Near the entrance, there were three beehives, with swarms of bees busily flying in and out around them.
They were like well-trained soldiers, each performing their duties. Strangely, these bees were very friendly to An Lan and Lu Fan, never stinging them, but just now they showed no mercy to Kalba, which made An Lan very curious.
Behind the bamboo house was a small but very tidy storage room, which should contain all sorts of supplies that Lu Fan had painstakingly accumulated.
Next to the storage room was a tool rack filled with all sorts of tools, each one well-maintained, showing that they had played an important role in wilderness survival.
There was also a bamboo box whose purpose Anlan didn't yet know, quietly placed in the corner, as if hiding an unknown secret.
The shelter is well-planned and fully functional, like a hidden paradise in the wilderness, almost comparable to a well-equipped farmhouse.
The only thing that makes you want to complain is probably the bamboo house, which looks like a matchbox. Although it's practical, its appearance is indeed a bit...
Looking at Lu Fan who was busy, An Lan felt a surge of sincere admiration.
Her eyes were filled with admiration and praise. She thought to herself: No wonder he is known as the number one person in the wilderness. It is truly amazing that he was able to build such a warm and practical home in this desolate place.
While An Lan was lost in her thoughts, Lu Fan had already begun preparing dinner.
He skillfully took out the iron pot, his movements like those of a seasoned chef.
Considering that girls might like sweets, he decided to make blueberry lamb chops, taro seafood soup, and also specially made a honey coconut soup.
An Lan was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth. From the moment Lu Fan took out the iron pot, she was stunned by what she saw.
To see such a complete set of kitchen utensils and abundant ingredients in this desolate wilderness is like an incredible magic show.
Before long, a sumptuous dinner was freshly prepared.
Lu Fan carefully served the fragrant pan-fried lamb chops and delicious taro seafood soup to the table, and thoughtfully offered some plump and juicy berries as dessert.
"Come on, try my cooking," Lu Fan said to An Lan with a smile, a hint of anticipation in his expression.
Anlan picked up a piece of lamb chop and gently put it in her mouth. The tender lamb meat spread on her tongue, and the deliciousness instantly bloomed in her mouth.
Her eyes immediately lit up, like stars twinkling in the night sky: "It's so delicious! Your cooking is absolutely amazing!"
His tone was full of undisguised praise and surprise.
Lu Fan smiled, a satisfied smile on his face: "I'm glad you like it. Try this honey coconut soup, it's hot, it'll warm you up."
His voice carried a gentle quality that warmed people's hearts.
"Thanks."
An Lan said softly, a blush rising on her face, a blush of happiness from being infected by the delicious food and the warm atmosphere.
The two ate dinner while enthusiastically sharing their experiences in the wilderness.
An Lan vividly recounted how she searched for herbs in the dense jungle and how she dodged ferocious beasts on the edge of danger; those thrilling moments seemed to be right before her eyes.
Lu Fan then launched into a long and fascinating account of his miraculous experience of triggering a ten-thousand-fold return, as well as the adventures he had with Da Jiao and Da Hei. An Lan listened with rapt attention to those exciting stories.
By the time we finished dinner, it was completely dark.
Night fell like a giant black ribbon, gently covering the entire world.
The two sat at the entrance of the shelter, quietly gazing up at the twinkling stars in the sky, enjoying this rare tranquility and beauty.
"I've really been through a lot today," An Lan said with a sigh, her voice carrying a hint of weariness, but also a sense of relief at surviving a close call.
"Yes, but that's all in the past. As long as we're together from now on, we can overcome any difficulty."
Lu Fan spoke firmly, his eyes revealing a reassuring power, as if declaring to the world that they would be fearless in the face of any challenge.
Meanwhile, the argument in the live stream room continued in full swing.
Some people in the United States, like gamblers who have lost everything, are relentless in their attacks, constantly posting out-of-context and distorted statements online in an attempt to smear Lu Fan and China, pushing this already fierce propaganda war to an even greater climax.
Chinese netizens united and stood up to refute them with detailed facts and conclusive evidence, resolutely defending the truth and dignity.
This war of public opinion has intensified online, resembling a war without gunfire, and has even attracted widespread attention from the international community.
Seeing Lu Fan and An Lan looking peaceful in the shelter, host Wang Tao couldn't help but sigh, "These past two days have really felt like a dream. Suddenly danger struck, and then our contestants were all together."
His tone was filled with amazement at the dramatic events of the past two days.
Zhao Hangjun nodded in agreement: "However, what is certain is that Lu Fan's overall strength has significantly improved again."
The wild horse he tamed was of exceptional quality, greatly increasing his travel speed.
There's also An Lan, who is very knowledgeable about herbs and medicine; her help to Lu Fan will undoubtedly be immense.
Of course, Lu Fan was also able to protect An Lan very well, greatly improving China's resource security in this wilderness survival exercise.
His analysis was clear and logical, which gave people confidence in the combination of the two.
