Chapter 112
The appearance of the desert lion made the director team nervous, but according to the rules of the game, they could only be on guard and decide whether to rescue people based on the situation. If they took action, the person being rescued would automatically be eliminated.
Several emergency drones took off, and anesthesiologists and wildlife specialists stood guard. The tense atmosphere immediately gave the Sam Country participants, who were planning to roll around, a sense of something was amiss. Following the staff's gaze, they looked up and gasped.
Above the head is a majestic lion.
Now they face two choices: ask for help, or they're out. If they don't, they'll have to figure out how to resolve this dilemma on their own and avoid life-threatening situations. Otherwise, if the production team intervenes, they'll be out, too.
The expressions of the group of people changed like a palette.
The audiences of these teams in the live broadcast room cursed the program team's rules, while the Black Hawks fans shouted retribution, this is God's punishment, who told you to steal our team's water and get everyone out.
"Haha, I told you to take advantage of the Rolling Team. Don't you know that the Rolling Team has the main character's script?"
"Pfft, after following the national competition until now, I have this kind of illusion for some reason."
"Roller Team, come on! Defeat the United States and its vassal states."
"Yes, support the Rollers and defeat them."
"Support the Lions, go ahead!"
Fans of the Black Hawks and other teams whose cacti were stolen by the United States have hated them for a long time. Now that they see the United States facing a threat, they are saying all kinds of things.
Chu Huaiqin and his companions were still some distance away from the United States. They turned around and walked quickly.
The threatened teams were so upset that they wanted to catch Chu Huaiqin and the others and throw them onto the lion.
"Who goes first?" the people from Big Mom asked nervously.
He and the United States were the only two teams from their North American region to advance. In previous situations like this, someone had always taken the lead, blocking the way for the United States. As the younger brothers following closely behind, they had avoided danger several times. Now, it was natural that the others should go first.
The Kangaroo Nation's people looked at Sam Nation, then turned to the Sunset Nation team. This team had only one real contestant, an amateur; the other two were hired mercenaries. Now was his time to shine.
"David, I heard that two of your team members are mercenaries. It's time to use them." The amateur contestant from the British Empire spoke first coldly. There was no way he would fall into the trap of the Kangaroos.
"Chen, from what I understand, two of your team members are also mercenaries," David retorted without hesitation. This amateur was no ordinary amateur. Of the five contestants from the British Empire, he had taken up four spots, leaving only one British celebrity on the roster. During a mid-game event, he had even used a trick to push that celebrity out of harm's way, ultimately appeasing the opponent with money. During the European competition, rumors circulated that he held a British Empire Blue Card, was Chinese nationality, and was the son of a prominent family. It was unclear why he was participating in the show.
"Oh, they are only here to protect me, not you." The man surnamed Chen sneered.
The faces of several people from the United States turned red and blue in an instant.
"Spread out! If you can't escape, ask for help!" Will Smith couldn't stand being ridiculed. Since entering the competition, it can be said that domestic competitions are more difficult than international competitions, because domestic competitions are all about the same people. As participants from the United States, they do enjoy a lot of advantages in the North American competition.
Even after the global competition began, many teams were still praising them. After all, they had an Oscar-winning actress, a Hollywood actor, and a famous basketball player. Their fans made up a large portion of the audience, supporting them and promising benefits for their future international development.
"Run, how to run? How can a human outrun a lion?" Lina glared at Will Smith. Will Smith was a boxer and his physical fitness was definitely not bad, but she was a star and her physical strength was not good enough, so the lion was the first to catch up with her.
"Then you have no choice but to withdraw from the competition." Will Smith didn't want to praise her, and he really couldn't stand this team.
Even though it was Liman who was always the one stealing things, these people also received a lot of benefits and reaped the profits from Liman.
"Then let's run! Good luck to each other." Fili also agreed.
"Alright," Liman glanced at Will Smith calmly, "Run."
Liman, who has always been the one to take the lead, said so, and the others could not think of any other solution, so they had to make this choice.
More than a dozen people put on their backpacks and made to run, but one second, two seconds, three seconds...
Time passed little by little, but no one moved.
In fact, they all understood that whoever ran first would be the one chased by the lion.
"Bad review, run, why don't you run? Wasn't it awesome to grab cacti and water before?"
"Pfft, come to think of it, since the beginning of the wilderness survival, it seems that only Chu Huaiqin has confronted wild beasts directly."
"Tsk tsk, they're all hypocrites."
"Those bastards, Lina is a girl, as a gentleman, shouldn't you protect her?"
"That's right. Among these four teams, there are mercenaries, boxers, and athletes. Why does Lina have to run?"
"Since the Kangaroo Nation and the British Empire each have two foreign players, they should let them run! Aren't the foreign players here to prevent disasters?"
"You guys are kidding, this is a lion, it's a lion."
"No, it's not because of foreign aid, it's because the British Empire refuses to send foreign aid."
"Team Big Mom also has a foreign player. They refused to send him out, probably because Daley knew the script was for 'Star Wars'. After all, he always rushed to the front of the United States during the North American competition. After the script for the global competition came out, he must have been tempted!"
Various voices appeared in the live broadcast room, discussing the relationships between these teams. The selfishness displayed shocked people in the Asian region. The most shocking thing was that they said it was a matter of course.
No one in the four teams moved, and the atmosphere was frozen for a moment.
"Look, the lion is moving. Ahhhh, it's looking at Chu Huaiqin and the others."
"Damn, it's not going to chase after its own brother!"
The Chinese audience was stunned.
Chu Huaiqin and the others dared to move because there was still a long distance. There were people right before the lion's eyes, so why was it targeting the rolling team in the distance?
"Go, go catch the Rolling Team."
The foreign team in the live broadcast room shouted loudly, which made the Chinese audience very angry.
Just as everyone was worried, they saw the lion walking back and forth on the uneven rock formation, then it took steps downwards. When it reached a certain distance, it jumped directly down, right under the ridge where Sam and the others were hiding.
Unlike steppe lions, desert lions have short, dark brown manes, similar to their body hair, which are very similar in color to the Gobi loess. This allows them to hide in the desert for hunting. Desert lions are also slightly smaller than steppe lions, but they are more ferocious.
“Ouch!”
Roaring to the sky, the desert lion bent its powerful hind legs slightly, stepped forward with its front legs, and raised its head. Its sharp eyes were hidden between its half-closed eyelids, and it seemed that it was about to chase Chu Huaiqin and the others. The live broadcast room gasped, and the Chinese audience was boiling with excitement, shouting: "Behind, behind, behind, there is meat..."
The four teams immediately retorted, "In front, in front, in front, there's the smell of meat..."
Chinese audience, "The meat at the back is smelly, but you love to eat it..."
Passersby: ...
The live broadcast room was flooded with comments, as if a lion would bite the "enemy" of whoever had more comments.
“Ouch!”
With another long roar, the lion's slightly raised front legs moved. It did not chase Chu Huaiqin and others, but turned around and looked at the people behind it with cold eyes, its sharp claws protruding from its toes, and its sharp teeth slightly exposed.
"ah!"
Lina screamed and moved first, and then the lion pounced. The group of more than a dozen people was scattered, and some were thrown to the ground. Chaos ensued. At this time, the production team also took action. The staff and the drone fired anesthetic needles at the same time, instantly entering the lion's body. Before it could reach the crowd ten meters away, it fell to the ground.
The scattered people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Desert Lion fall, but what was the outcome now? Was everyone out?
The program crew was also a bit troubled. After discussion, Lina was eliminated. There was nothing they could do because she was the one who moved and screamed first.
Of course Lina was not satisfied and wanted to appeal, but was rejected and finally taken away cursing.
Live broadcast room:
"Those bastards couldn't even protect a girl."
"It's not fair. This is not fair to us Lina. Why isn't Chu eliminated? That squeamish guy can't even walk."
"Because my brother has a script, what's the matter?"
"Haha, come to think of it, Chu Huaiqin's leopards, wild boars, tigers, sharks, crocodiles, and giant snakes, oh, the comparison is so different, he really deserves to be the man with the script."
The live broadcast room was amused and didn’t mind the shouting of Lina’s fans at all, as they were all out.
Chu Huaiqin and his companions had already walked a distance and were not surprised to hear that Lina was out. They wanted to take advantage of the dark sky to find a water source. However, the situation in the Gobi Desert was only slightly better than that in the pure sand desert, and water sources were not easy to find.
"This is the third food point." Xia Entang compared the map.
"There should be water nearby," Chu Huaiqin licked his cracked lips and squinted his eyes to look around, "Let's go up the mountain!"
The hills here are connected. Since a lion appears, it is very likely that there is a water source nearby. However, they should also pay attention to one thing. Lions usually move in groups. Now only one appears, so there may be a group of lions nearby.
"But there's nothing we can do. Everyone, be careful." Chu Huaiqin reminded them.
"Don't worry! I've been practicing watch firing since I got back," Su Huaichen replied. Xia Huang had made the watch, and he'd said it would definitely be used in the global competition. He'd even given one to Lin Zhinan to practice with. Chu Huaiqin and the others were already proficient, so there was no need for them to use it.
"Yes, brother, don't worry!" Lin Zhinan clenched his fists and nodded.
Chu Huaiqin smiled at the confidence of the few people. This was a huge change compared to the situation in the domestic competition.
"Set off."
