Chapter 102
When the competition started, it was a bit chaotic for a while. Although it was called an individual competition, it was impossible for an individual to compete alone, so everyone was looking for people to form a team. It goes without saying that they were from the same team, but some people wanted to make the team stronger, so they started "recruiting".
Looking down at the entire arena from the live broadcast room, the most prominent teams were the Bears, Mali, Cuttlefish, and Blackhawks. They stood outside the crowd, each forming a team to discuss the map, seemingly with no intention of forming a team with the others.
The United States is the most popular, with the Aunties, Kangaroos, and the British Empire all surrounding them. They are so servile that the live broadcast room can't bear to watch. It really deserves to be the existence that licks the "mountain" from head to toe.
Chu Huaiqin didn't have time to pay attention to these people. He was scorching hot. If Xia En hadn't been holding a fan to keep him warm, he would have fainted. Besides that, there was another important matter: finding his sister.
In addition to the 56 contestants, there are also hundreds of staff members. All of them are wrapped from head to toe and wear the same clothes. It is really not easy to find someone.
"Look where there is a dwarf, that must be my sister." Chu Huaiqin said breathlessly.
In Chu Huaiqin's own live broadcast room, the audience almost laughed out loud. The shortest one was really right.
The four of them passed through group after group of people and when they passed by the Never-Setting Sun Corps, one of the men with his face covered made a throat-wiping gesture to Chu Huaiqin when the four of them looked over. Xia Entang almost rushed up to beat him up again.
The little monk angrily said, "Brother, they are too much. They don't even know each other, yet they are so arrogant."
Su Huaichen saw something different, "Huaiqin, you don't have a grudge against all of them, do you?"
Chu Huaiqin: "I have become a good person."
Live broadcast room: What have you done before?
"No way! Listening to my brother's tone, does he really have a grudge against you?"
"That guy from the United States is no ordinary guy either. Plus, the sun never sets. Oh my god, who else is there from which region? Tell me quickly so I can be mentally prepared."
"My brother was seventeen when he returned to China. How could a young boy like him mess with anyone? Don't make a fuss. It's obviously because of their violent personalities, especially that American Liman, who chopped off his finger."
"Don't worry! From the domestic competition to the Asian competition, I've never been wronged. Just wait for the slap in the face."
"It's a pity that the guy who was doing the neck-wiping gesture was wearing sunglasses and had his face covered, so I couldn't see him clearly. But I've already recognized his figure."
"Alas, am I the only one concerned about my brother's lack of footage in A1?"
There were too many teams, and the camera in A1's live broadcast room kept cutting back and forth. Chu Huaiqin and the others didn't get to watch for a few seconds. The Chinese audience and some of the Asian audiences who supported him simply came to his personal live broadcast room to watch.
"elder brother."
After searching around, the four were about to shout when Lin Zhinan's voice suddenly sounded behind them. They turned around and saw Lin Zhinan showing his face and smiled.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time," Chu Huaiqin waved. Lin Zhinan came over. Chu Huaiqin rubbed her head and asked, "How have you been these past two days?"
"Okay." Lin Zhinan nodded, her eyes red, and talked about her schedule for the next two days. She had been prepared to withdraw from the competition at any time from the beginning, but the scene at the airport made her waver. Her agent asked her to come to Chu Huaiqin, but she still hadn't made up her mind. So she sat outside the airport to think. This thinking made her miss her flight, but it also made her decide to return to the team.
I asked my agent for the equipment list sent by Chu Huaiqin, removed the duplicates, and asked my agent to purchase new equipment so that I could catch the second flight of the day.
"Director Anthony picked me up right after I arrived. He put me in the same room with Sam Country and the girls from the Bear Team. I wanted to look for you guys, but the assistant wouldn't let me go out." Lin Zhinan timidly glanced at Chu Huaiqin and lowered his head. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I'm glad I'm back." Chu Huaiqin supported himself with a trekking pole in one hand and blew a fan at Lin Zhinan in the other. Seeing him smile, he said, "Brother Desert Ke, I'm relying on you to take me flying this time."
"Well, I will try my best," Lin Zhinan nodded repeatedly, stuck his trekking pole into the ground, rolled up his sleeves, bent his hands and clenched them hard, "Brother, look, I've built muscles."
Lin Zhinan's move surprised the four people. The little monk stretched out his hand and poked it. It was really a muscle, and it was quite hard. For a moment, he didn't know what to say and looked at Chu Huaiqin.
Lin Zhinan didn't notice everyone's strange expressions, and said regretfully: "I have muscles and my strength has increased, but my agent told me that after the competition, I have to find a way to get rid of the muscles."
"If you like it, it's okay if you don't take it off. It looks good." Chu Huaiqin stepped forward, hugged Lin Zhinan, and patted her back. "Okay, put it down."
Chu Huaiqin had already noticed the gazes of the men around him, and some of them were really unpleasant.
"Yeah!" Lin Zhinan nodded and put down his sleeves. Chu Huaiqin pulled up the scarf to cover his face and pressed down his wide-brimmed hat.
"Brother, I prepared a bow and crossbow when I came here, but the director team said that we cannot bring any harmful weapons and we are not allowed to bring any." Lin Zhinan felt very sorry when he heard Director Anthony say that hunting was allowed.
"It's okay, we'll do it again."
"May I?"
"I use local materials. They have no right to stop me."
"Uh-huh!"
Lin Zhinan was happy. He moved closer to Chu Huaiqin and smiled happily.
The team gathered, Chu Huaiqin gave Lin Zhinan's things to her, and everyone began to study the map.
There was sand on all sides here, and except for the director team's tent, everything was exposed to the sun. With nowhere to go, the few people simply opened a tent, went in and sat in a circle, with two small fans blowing beside them. The others became jealous and ran to the director team to report Chu Huaiqin and others for violating the rules.
The director team’s response was: We didn’t stop you from bringing it.
Those who want to watch the fun: ...
Because of the special nature of Chu Huaiqin's team, the A1 camera gave them a close-up, causing the audience at home and abroad in the live broadcast room to exclaim: What's going on, are you here for tourism?
The Chinese audience in the live broadcast room laughed. Thinking about the Asian competition, Chu Huaiqin and his team had caused the audience in other regions to wonder several times whether he was here for tourism, and they laughed with joy.
"I've read the news. Someone took 35 days to cross the entire Sahara Desert. We have two months and only need to cross a part of the desert. We have plenty of time." Su Huaichen nodded and gave a thumbs up to the information he had looked up.
"He is a professional in wilderness survival. His daily food and accommodation are provided by someone specially. The situation is very different from us amateurs who have to rely on ourselves to find water and food. It cannot be used as a reference." Chu Huaiqin dispelled Su Huaichen's fantasy that it was easy.
"The directors didn't give us a fixed route, but anyone who knows how to read a map will only choose these two routes," Xia Entropy said, pointing to a spot on the map. "But since looting isn't discouraged, the majority of the group will likely move together."
"That's right. In addition to surviving, we must also be careful not to be robbed." The little monk nodded repeatedly, feeling that he had become smarter after listening to them.
The five of them discussed for a while and made a decision. The first thing they would do was to find a source of water. Since the race had just started and they were unfamiliar with the desert, they had to have water ready before setting off. If possible, finding food would also be helpful.
Chu Huaiqin was not allowed to leave the tent. Xia En carried Su Huaichen to find water, but was stopped by Lin Zhinan, who took out a large box of sunscreen from his bag. It was really a large box, weighing at least ten kilograms.
The four of them were all stunned and amazed at Lin Zhinan's attentiveness. They didn't expect it, but Su Huaichen thought of it. However, he thought that the space for equipment was limited and he was afraid that it would take up space for other survival equipment, so he didn't mention it.
Xia En and Su Huaichen applied a layer before going out and felt that the sunlight was not as harsh on their skin.
Chu Huaiqin also applied it. It felt cool and comfortable, and the faint medicinal fragrance was pleasant. After applying it, the little monk put the sunscreen in his bag. It was too heavy.
"Let's go out and take a look!" The competition had just begun and there was nothing to eat or drink. Chu Huaiqin couldn't sit still, but because they had food here, he asked the little monk to stay.
The game has just started and everyone is still observing their opponents, so there is no need to worry about anyone taking action.
Chu Huaiqin walked out of the tent with a trekking pole and looked around. He saw Xia En and Su Huaichen searching in an area with relatively abundant vegetation. It seemed that there should be a water source nearby.
"Brother, is this okay?"
Lin Zhinan's voice rang out, Chu Huaiqin turned around and saw Lin Zhinan took out a long piece of dry grass from the soil, and pulled it, and it was quite tough.
Chu Huaiqin was puzzled, "What?"
"Wait." Lin Zhinan smiled mysteriously and took the fan out of the tent. He cut the hay in two with a knife and tied it to the sides of the fan, one above and one below. He asked Chu Huaiqin to bend down and stand on his toes to hang the fan. After arranging it, the fan was at a 35-degree angle in front of his chest, and the wind blew just on Chu Huaiqin's neck.
"Brother, how is it?" Lin Zhinan took two steps back, looked it up and down, nodded, and was very satisfied.
Chu Huaiqin was both delighted and amused. The former was because he didn't need to hold the fan in his hands, and the wind blew towards him, which was very comfortable and convenient. The latter was because he felt like an elementary school student going to school with a fan hanging on his head in the summer. Well, there was also a sense of déjà vu, like a baby with a pacifier hanging on his head.
The people in the live broadcast room also made fun of Chu Huaiqin for this, and they laughed out loud: Chu is three years old.
The director team chose a place with good vegetation. Chu Huaiqin took Lin Zhinan for a walk and saw a cactus. It was fleshy and round, very easy to recognize. Nowadays, many white-collar workers always have such a cactus on their desks.
"This is called the Jade Cactus, right?" Lin Zhinan recognized it immediately and moved closer to the audience. "It has so many thorns."
"Well, be careful not to touch your skin," Chu Huaiqin instructed. This kind of cactus has a lot of small thorns, which are itchy and painful, and difficult to remove. "I'll get one to try."
Although Chu Huaiqin knew it was edible, he didn't know what it tasted like.
"I know. When eaten plain, it has a sticky, green taste," Lin Zhinan said, shaking his head. "It gives a cool feeling in the mouth. It's better fried."
"Did you do a lot of homework?" Chu Shaoqing asked.
"Well, I've tried all the edible cacti I could find on the market, both raw and cooked." Lin Zhinan nodded.
Chu Huaiqin's heart moved, he rubbed her head and smiled.
