Chapter 166
The appearance and disappearance of the big bear made everyone uneasy.
Some people in the director's office breathed a sigh of relief, but Anthony seemed to be thinking about something, as if waiting for something.
The livestream room erupted in excitement, with scores of data analysts scurrying out to analyze the situation. China itself was also buzzing with activity. Initially, when news of Chu Huaiqin and his team's withdrawal spread, there was a general groaning in China, and many had given up, not even wanting to log in to check. Now, Big Bear's sudden appearance had instantly rekindled everyone's disheartened spirits, and they rushed over to check in.
"Where's the bear? Big Bear?"
"He ran away again."
"Ah, why? Why did you run away? Come back. At least take your brothers and the others to a water source before running away. You didn't deliver the chicken before, so why not deliver some water?"
"An animal is an animal. You're counting on a bear to bring you water. You really think you're God!"
"Hahaha, the Chinese are so funny. They actually rely on an animal."
There were supportive viewers and mocking viewers in the live broadcast room.
When the little monk saw the big bear running away, he chased it with the chicken in his arms for a while, but in the end he still walked back to Chu Huaiqin crying.
"Brother, what's wrong with it? It comes and goes. Is it afraid that we will kill it?" The little monk had a sad face and sat next to Chu Huaiqin, leaning on the backpack and holding the chicken that was about to die. He felt very uncomfortable.
"Maybe it went back to find water!" Chu Huaiqin's throat was getting more and more painful due to the fever, and he was not in a good mood.
"Brother, should we wait?" asked the little monk.
Chu Huaiqin didn't know either. Although the big bear had given it berries before, it was not so smart as to give it water. Chu Huaiqin was not sure whether its IQ was so high.
“Ahem!”
Chu Huaiqin coughed lightly twice, stood up and walked towards Lin Zhinan, turned on the light of his watch, looked at her cheek from an angle, put his hand over her forehead, and found that nothing was wrong, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother," Lin Zhinan opened her eyes. She was actually very tired and wanted to sleep, but she was too thirsty and couldn't fall asleep. She had been waiting for Chu Huaiqin to announce the end of the game and drink water. "Brother, did you withdraw?"
Lin Zhinan's voice was hoarse and soft.
"No, it's just very uncomfortable, isn't it?" Chu Huaiqin pushed her messy hair aside, revealing her thin face, which was gray and darker.
"Hmm!" Lin Zhinan responded softly and closed his eyes again, trying hard to imagine sour things like plums and prunes to make himself drool.
Chu Huaiqin turned to look at the little monk, who was drooling over the hen. Perhaps he was still obsessed with the chicken blood. Walking back to Xia En's side, Chu Huaiqin squatted down and saw that Xia En's eyelids were moving. He seemed to be struggling to wake up, and his breathing became rapid.
Give up!
This thought echoed in Chu Huaiqin's mind again.
Seeing Chu Huaiqin's expression in the live broadcast room, everyone's heart tightened, knowing that he would withdraw from the competition in the next moment. The audience was about to give up, but at this moment, someone with sharp eyes saw a figure running towards them in the darkness in the distance through the image transmitted by the drone.
"Big, big, big bear, ah ah, dear brother, don't make a sound, don't make a sound."
"Oh my God, it's back, it's back, is it bringing something?"
"Ahhh, it's coming, it's coming, it's bringing water."
"Dear brother..."
Chu Huaiqin, who was debating whether to give up, seemed to sense something. Before he could utter those three words, he suddenly turned around and saw a big bear running towards him, carrying a tree. Because it had to hold the tree with its hands, it could only walk on two legs, so its speed seemed to be only average, but this also surprised Chu Huaiqin.
But the live broadcast room didn't understand. Bringing a tree, does that mean the brothers will eat the tree?
The big bear quickly gave the audience the answer. As soon as it rushed in front of Chu Huaiqin, the tree it was holding shook out of the water.
"Water, ah, water, don't waste it," the still conscious little monk saw the water rushing out of the tree, his heart aching. He rushed over to hug the tree, but seeing the big bear, he didn't dare to get close. He could only squat beside it anxiously, "Brother, brother, water."
"It's a traveler's palm," Chu Huaiqin murmured, and finally smiled. He didn't expect the bear to actually get some water. He should have talked to the big bear again, but the situation was urgent. Chu Huaiqin held out his hand to it, "Can you give me some water?"
The big bear blinked its eyes, whimpered, and handed the tree over. Chu Huaiqin reached out to take it, but he had a high fever and couldn't catch it. He stumbled a few times, but fortunately the little monk was there to help hold it tight.
"Thank you!" Chu Huaiqin stretched out his hand and rubbed the big bear's head, which was on all fours. It responded with two "wooooo" sounds. When Chu Huaiqin pulled out, the bear rubbed it, then wooooed and turned around in circles.
The live broadcast room was happy.
"Haha, if the big bear had no hair, would it blush?"
"Ahhh, it turns out Big Bear also likes to be rubbed. Xia Entropy, for the sake of the water, I'll let Big Bear rub his head from now on."
"Just now Chu mentioned the traveler's palm. What kind of tree is this? Why is there water there?"
"This is a tree that grows in the African desert. It provides water to travelers passing through. It is a sacred tree for many African natives. The fact that the giant bear can find this tree in such a short distance means that the water source is not far away."
"Ahhh, why are you guys so calm discussing the tree? The Rolling Team doesn't have to be eliminated. Shouldn't you be happy about that?"
"No, no, I'm very excited. My hands are shaking with excitement as I type. Those who can discuss this must be foreign audiences. They don't know what it means to us not to withdraw."
"That's right, I even cried behind the screen. Ah, from now on, I declare that Big Bear is also a member of the Rolling Team. He is the sixth member and the most important person in our Rolling Team."
"Agree."
"Agree."
The screen was filled with these two words. From that moment on, Daxiong was also one of their team members.
"Sister, sister, drink some water," the little monk hugged the tree, swallowing his saliva, but he didn't rush to drink it himself. Instead, he called out to Lin Zhinan who was still lying on the backpack, and then said to Chu Huaiqin: "Brother, drink some water, drink some water quickly, ah, Xia En is still sleeping."
Chu Huaiqin took out two pots from his backpack and asked the little monk to carefully fill them half full. "Sit down and hold them."
This traveler's palm is not a very big one and doesn't need much water, so you have to be very careful.
"Ah hey!" The little monk was afraid that he would accidentally knock the tree over, so he quickly sat up straight and leaned over to hug the tree.
Chu Huaiqin took a sip first, and when he felt that it was ok, he handed one of the pots to the little monk, "Drink it, you are so thirsty that you can't even speak clearly."
Little monk: "But my sister..."
Chu Huaiqin: "I'll go feed her."
Chu Huaiqin finished his words and turned to look for Lin Zhinan. The little monk drank a few sips, thought for a moment, and then moved towards Xia Entang with the traveler's banana. Turning around, he saw the big bear nudging Xia Entang with its nose, whimpering, and then licking him with its tongue. The little monk became anxious.
"Big Bear, Xia En can't eat it. He can't eat it. Don't eat it." The little monk held back, fearing that Big Bear would bite it off with a "woosh".
In the live broadcast room, I saw the little monk moving around and then standing up and dragging the tree while running. I was so scared that my heart almost jumped out of my chest.
"Oh my god, little monk, I'm even more worried that you'll knock over the traveler's palm. Don't run! It won't eat Xia Entropy. It's a vegetarian, you know?"
"Little monk, hold on, hold on."
"Oh my God, Xia En, wake up!"
The live broadcast room was very anxious.
As the live broadcast room wished, Xia En finally opened his eyes, and what he saw was the enlarged bear face. He gasped in fear, but saw that the big bear let out a "wooo" and sat down next to Xia En, raised its chin and touched its head with its hand.
Viewer A in the livestream: "I think it's showing off. What do you think? Or am I dreaming? Someone please wake me up with a slap."
Audience in Room B: No, I think so too.
Many viewers in the live broadcast room: Thank you for the invitation, we feel the same way.
When Chu Huaiqin approached Lin Zhinan with water, she happened to look up, but Chu Huaiqin looked a little confused, he was dizzy from thirst.
Chu Huaiqin passed the water to Lin Zhinan's mouth and said, "Drink water."
"Hmm!" Lin Zhinan responded as if sleepwalking, lowered his head and obediently drank a sip of water.
One, mouth, water!
Lin Zhinan was stunned for a moment, then swallowed it. Then he suddenly lowered his head and took another sip. It was really water.
"Brother, water." Lin Zhinan looked at Chu Huaiqin in disbelief.
"Yeah, water." Chu Huaiqin smiled and nodded.
Lin Zhinan's eyes instantly turned red, and he sniffed, "We've withdrawn from the competition, really withdrawn."
Even though he had known this earlier, Lin Zhinan still felt very uncomfortable when this moment came.
"Silly, what are you talking about?" Chu Huaiqin turned around and saw the little monk giving Xia Entang some water. He stopped worrying about him and took a couple of sips from the pot. He replied, "I didn't withdraw from the competition. Look..."
Chu Huaiqin pointed at the big bear, only to see it still whining and patting Xia Entang's head.
"It was Big Bear who brought us water. Haha, it was really Big Bear," Lin Zhinan also laughed. She laughed so hard that she started crying. She really thought she would be eliminated. "Brother, brother, Big Bear will also be our team member from now on, right, right?"
"Yes, it is the sixth member of our rolling team." Chu Huaiqin responded, turned to look at the big bear, and felt that this world was really wonderful.
The four of them quenched their thirst and drank until they were almost full before pouring out all the water into their water bags. It was as much as half a water bag. This was because the big bear had lost a lot of water when he took the tree. Otherwise, the water from one traveler's palm tree could have filled all three of their water bags. Even so, they were very satisfied.
The traveler's palm is not only juicy, but the inner core is also edible. Together with the remaining piece of bread, the four of us shared it. The chicken, which was almost dying, seemed to liven up a bit after eating the traveler's palm core.
"Brother, brother, I will name it Chicken Strong. Can it be our non-staff member in the future?" The little monk ran around happily holding the chicken.
"Okay, I'll be a non-staff member," Chu Huaiqin replied readily. He had eaten many of their eggs, and the chicken had accompanied them through the most difficult times. He had a lot of affection for this chicken.
The Rolling Team has added one more member, and with Su Huaichen withdrawing from the competition, the Rolling Team has a total of seven members.
With water, they could rest tonight. Lin Zhinan's legs were badly swollen, so he took anti-inflammatory drugs. Chu Huaiqin took antipyretics. Xia Entang had sunburned skin, so he applied a layer of plaster. Even the chicken was fed some unknown medicine, which the little monk had pestered the director's doctor to give it.
Among the wounded soldiers in the room, only the little monk was strong, resistant and flexible. He jumped up and down to set up the tent, and helped them into the tent one by one before he went back to sleep.
Big Bear, now a legitimate servant, slept next to Chu Huaiqin's tent. The young monk was originally going to carry the chicken inside to sleep, but Xia Entang reminded Chu Huaiqin of the abandoned tent. He gave in, tied the chicken's feet with a rope, and put it firmly outside.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the sound of even breathing could be heard from the tent.
The Chinese audience in the live broadcast room finally felt relieved. This stage was a close call.
