Chapter 194
The lake was surrounded by sand dunes, and a few trees grew by its edge, emerald green and beautiful. The shore was very short, so everyone stopped on the dunes to put down their luggage. The four members of the American and Russian teams quickly dropped their belongings and rushed into the lake. They hadn't dared to drink much water in recent days, but now that they saw the lake, they had to drink their fill.
"You sit down, I'll go get some water, Zhinan, you take a rest too."
Chu Huaiqin stopped Xia En from looking for water. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Although Xia En's arm injury has healed, his dislocated arm has not yet fully healed. If he moves around too much, it may become a habit, which will cause trouble.
"It's just scooping water, it shouldn't be a problem!" Xia En frowned, wondering if Chu Huaiqin was being too cautious with him.
"Be obedient." Chu Huaiqin patted Xia En's shoulder and walked towards the lake with two water bottles in hand.
Xia En looked at Chu Huaiqin's background and suddenly realized a very serious problem: Does he still think of himself as a child?
Chu Huaiqin carried two water bottles and chose a flat place to approach. He didn't want to get close to the four people with their heads stuck in the lake. He needed to drink the water, so he had to walk away.
The water was crystal clear, and even the rocks below were faintly visible, suggesting it wasn't very deep. Chu Huaiqin squatted by the lake, his kettle gurgling as he pondered. According to the schedule, they would reach their destination in a few days, yet the journey had been surprisingly peaceful. Had the production crew truly not been causing any trouble?
"Gurgle!"
The two kettles were finally full. Chu Huaiqin was about to stand up when he found his feet stuck in the mud. When he tried to stand up, Chu Huaiqin found that his feet were sinking at a terrible speed and his face changed immediately.
"Hey, look, is Chu descending?" Andrei pushed Vasily.
"Quicksand!" Liman shouted and ran towards Chu Huaiqin.
Xia En, who was on the sand dune, heard Liman's shout, stood up, turned his eyes to Chu Huaiqin, and rushed down the sand dune in horror. Lin Zhinan didn't react to what happened, but seeing Xia En's appearance, he was frightened and rushed down immediately.
"Brother." Xia En rushed down from above, so fast that he arrived almost at the same time as Li Man and the others. Seeing that the mud and sand had already overflowed to Chu Huaiqin's waist, he rushed over anxiously.
"Xia En, don't come over." Chu Huaiqin shouted, but Xia En was only thinking about saving him and was not listening at all.
Andrei, who was standing next to him, became anxious and instinctively kicked out to trip Xia En and stop his reckless behavior, but he didn't expect to trip him and he fell down with a "thump", and his outstretched hand just grabbed Chu Huaiqin's hand.
"Brother Xia En." Lin Zhinan was also frightened and grabbed Xia En's feet, trying to stop him from sinking. Andre and others next to him also hurriedly grabbed Xia En's feet.
This created a very ridiculous scene. A group of people behind him were pulling at Xia En's feet, while he was lying up to his chest in the quicksand, his hands stretched straight out, barely holding on to Chu Huaiqin, who was half-sunken.
All this happened so suddenly that the production crew was shocked and the staff rushed down immediately.
"You're out if you save me!" Chu Huaiqin looked at the staff member who extended the stick.
Staff: ...
The man who held out the stick turned his eyes to Anthony, who nodded. So many people before him had been saved by the show and were eliminated, so Chu Huaiqin couldn't be treated specially.
"Forget it." Chu Huaiqin was still sinking, but compared to the speed just now, it was much slower now. However, the mud and sand had already submerged his abdomen. Seeing the mud and sand overflowing to his chest, Xia En's eyes turned red.
"Quick, hold my hand." Xia En was so anxious that his veins popped out.
"No, let go first." Chu Huaiqin felt something faintly under his feet, and was about to step on it, but Xia En was trying to hold it with his hands, so he couldn't use enough strength.
"I won't let go, come up quickly." Xia En roared, and all that flashed through his eyes and mind were the reports he had read about quicksand before, such as how if you fall into it, you will definitely die.
Seeing Xia En's upper body sinking, Chu Huaiqin frowned and said, "I can't lend you any support like this. You're sinking yourself. First..."
"I won't let go. Come up here quickly," Xia En's eyes turned red with anxiety. "You haven't even celebrated my birthday yet! You said you'd come to my house to propose marriage on my twentieth birthday. Now, now I've finally found you, and I won't let go."
Chu Huaiqin: ...
"I originally said if you were a girl."
"Is there any difference? Can't men marry?"
Chu Huaiqin: ...
The audience in the live broadcast room were originally quite nervous, but they were all amused by the conversation between Xia En and Chu Huaiqin.
"That makes sense, marry me quickly."
"No, is this the time to talk about this? Oh my God, my dear brother is still sinking."
"Am I the only one who wants to know when Xia En's twentieth birthday is?"
"Data will tell you tomorrow."
"Oh my god, no way, it's really tomorrow. Ah, I remembered Xia Entropy's abnormal behavior two days ago."
"Hahaha, yeah, when I asked Chu Huaiqin about the time, it turned out that I had been reminding my brother both openly and covertly. It's a pity that my brother didn't get anything."
"Am I heartbroken?"
A large number of such questions suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room barrage, and everyone then remembered that Chu Huaiqin seemed to have a lot of girlfriends and boyfriends here. Although many Chinese viewers put Chu Huaiqin and Xia Entang together, they all treated it as a joke. Now, after hearing the conversation between Chu Huaiqin and Xia Entang, there was suddenly a subtle feeling.
"Xia Entropy, get on the stage and fight!"
audience:……
"I surrender to you. Come up first." Andre was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Is this a suitable time to talk about these things?
"Xia Entang, get out of the way. You can't pull him over." Liman also said from the side, looking at Xia Entang with a somewhat fierce look.
Xia En didn't reply, but just gritted his teeth and said nothing.
"What should we do? Go chop down a tree?" Andre was also a little anxious. Chu Huaiqin had helped them several times along the way. Although they were still competitors now, he had to rely on his strength to win the championship.
"Don't be ridiculous." Vasily kicked Andrei to stop talking nonsense. If word got out that he was cutting down trees in the desert, he would be cursed to death by environmentalists. Besides, Chu Huaiqin wasn't at the point of cutting down trees right now.
"Put the backpack on the quicksand and let Chu climb up?" Liman gave his suggestion.
"No, the backpack will become heavy if I put it in." Vasily objected again.
The people in the live broadcast room were also screaming in panic. Quicksand, the legendary devil's quicksand, how could Chu Huaiqin step on it?
"Ahhh, someone help me!"
"Damn it, damn it, the production team really won't save us?"
"Will I really fall in? I heard that if people fall into these traps, they will be carried away by the quicksand and float out at another mouth. No!"
"Don't talk nonsense, my dear brother must have a way to be so calm."
"Yes, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Chu will definitely find a way."
Although the audience in the live broadcast room were anxious, looking at Chu Huaiqin's expression, they felt that he should have a way. However, Xia En didn't know that. He heard what Liman and others said and was sweating with anxiety.
Seeing Xia En's anxious look, Chu Huaiqin said helplessly, "My foot is already on something. If you pull me like this, I won't be able to use the force."
This wet mud-like quicksand was not deep. Chu Huaiqin's feet were on something that looked like a tree trunk, and his body was stable.
"Well, you stepped on something, let go!" Chu Huaiqin comforted.
"No, what if I let go and you fall?" Xia En was still stubborn.
"Then tie my hands with a rope, is that okay?" Chu Huaiqin said softly.
Xia En thought about it and nodded.
Live broadcast room: Why did I suddenly find that my brother became gentle?
Lin Zhinan quickly found the ropes used to tie up the tent, and she pulled them out.
Chu Huaiqin's wrists were tied, and the next step was to see how Chu Huaiqin would get out. After all, if you are stuck in quicksand, outsiders can't pull you out. Someone once did an experiment and found that to pull someone out of the quicksand, you need at least ten tons of force, which is impossible for humans.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also paying close attention, and everyone wanted to know how he got out of the quicksand.
Chu Huaiqin took a deep breath, relaxed his body, and moved his feet slowly to loosen the wet mud around him. Then he slowly tilted his body, little by little. Chu Huaiqin's body seemed to have buoyancy and quickly got out of the quicksand.
Live broadcast room: Can you still save yourself this way?
After Chu Huaiqin came up, Xia Entang pulled him away from this place.
After walking for several days, we finally found a place with both water and food, so we all decided to gather here. Taking a shower was essential, especially for Chu Huaiqin, who was covered in mud. This time, though, he was much more cautious, first prodding the lakeshore with his trekking pole before approaching. Because of the quicksand, no one dared to go into the lake, so they could only wash by the lake. In broad daylight, the production crew even blurred out the images of several people.
Today's food is still sweet potatoes. Chu Huaiqin wondered why the sweet potato season has not yet passed. He was also wondering if there could be some special food today!
As the sun sets, it shines from the sand dunes into the lake, enveloping it and reflecting an orange sky. The colorful poplar trees by the lake complement the orange sky, and the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful.
After eating and drinking, the seven people lay on the sand dunes, looking at the sky, and at this moment they were unexpectedly harmonious.
Anthony looked at the seven people in the camera and had an idea. He asked the technician to move the drone over and took a photo at a very good angle, which was then released on the official website.
[Extreme Five Days is coming, among the top seven, who will be the king? ]
As soon as the official released this information, the whole world was excited. Starting from March and about to reach August, the competition that lasted for almost half a year has finally come to an end, and the top seven have come out.
The most surprising thing is that there is a girl among them. This is the first time in the past five sessions that a girl has appeared in the top seven. She is Chinese, and three people from China have entered the top seven.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”
The official Weibo account in China was filled with cries of "Ah!", with many fans of Wilderness Survival crying miserably. They had been thinking about and waiting for this day for five years, and it finally came true in the sixth year, achieved by the team led by Chu Huaiqin, known as the "squeamish one" in the entertainment industry.
