Chapter 216
The roster for the seventh season of Wilderness Survival, featuring the six previous champions and nine previous popular contestants, was officially confirmed in late February. Everyone was surprised to discover that after the sixth season, talent seemed to be even more important this time around. They also understood that this variety show only thrives when talented participants participate; too many stars would simply turn it into a showdown.
But some people still feel regretful that the person they wanted to push forward could not qualify. The people who qualified attracted the most attention in the Chinese arena. In addition to Chu Huaiqin as the champion, three people from China qualified out of the nine voting places, and fans from other countries were excited.
"What a joke! We only have four people from the entire North American region who qualified, and they alone have three."
"The three of them alone took the top three spots, with only Liman trailing behind. This is outrageous. They must have rigged the votes."
"Don't start throwing mud right away. You guys just frame others and find someone to take the blame whenever you can't compete with them. Don't you have any shame?"
"That's right. China's population accounts for one-sixth of the world's population. With one person, one vote, we can crush you under our feet."
"Why play if you can't afford to lose? Go home and drink milk!"
Although many foreign audiences argued with Chinese audiences over voting issues, they were still rational.
"All three of them qualified mid-last year, and their popularity is still there. Plus, with so many Chinese voters and other Asian votes, it's no surprise that they're in the top three."
Many rational people expressed their agreement, and at the same time, many foreigners said that they also voted for several Chinese people. Finally, the official came out and the number of votes was indeed real. One ID, one vote, and it could not be faked.
The voting incident has subsided and the competition system has been released. This year is a special year, there will be no global qualifiers, only a three-month survival competition.
There is no elimination in the survival competition, only automatic withdrawal. The program team has only one requirement: all contestants survive independently in the Arctic for three months.
The lack of an elimination round sounds far less exciting, but the concept of "self-sustainability" is captivating. Everyone knows that the Arctic, save for a little grass in spring, is almost entirely devoid of green. It's a vast expanse of white, with nothing but snowy mountains, majestic polar bears, and ferocious, voracious Arctic wolves. March is spring, their most active breeding and movement season. Are the contestants going to compete for food with these massive animals?
"Hahaha, it's so exciting just thinking about it. I can already imagine the scene of catching a polar bear and chasing them."
"I think among so many people, one person must be excluded."
"Pfft, Chu, hahahaha, I don't know why, but I want to see the polar bear carrying Chu and running."
"Xia Entropy will explode!"
"I'm just worried about one thing: will the production team provide food? You know, the Arctic is covered in ice and snow, there's nothing to eat."
"I don't know why, but I think given the nature of the show, this possibility is very low."
"Add ID number."
In addition to being interested in their survival, the audience is also curious about their team formation. Without elimination rounds, does it mean that the fifteen of them will live together?
The production team didn't give them this answer. In early March, contestants from around the world began gathering. Four contestants from the Chinese region, watched by reporters, boarded a flight to Greenland, the closest airport to the North Pole.
The news on the day Chu Huaiqin and his group set off also became a hot topic. Everyone was still very sad that Su Huaichen was unable to join Chu Huaiqin and his group. However, when the voting just started, Su Huaichen canvassed for votes for Lin Zhinan and his group, and frankly told everyone that he would not participate in this event, which made many fans almost faint from tears.
They always felt that Actor Su had changed a little and seemed less happy.
It took almost a day to fly from China to Greenland. The flight time was not that long, only thirteen hours, but a lot of time was spent on transfers.
The four of them walked out with their luggage. Before they left the airport hall, they heard cheers. Looking closely, they saw a group of Chinese people standing outside wearing down jackets, knitted hats, glasses and gloves. They were fully armed and holding banners to welcome them.
It's not uncommon for Chinese people to be spread all over the world, but the four of them didn't expect that someone would be here to pick them up. They were very happy for a moment and walked out happily with their luggage. However, the moment they opened the door and walked out, a cold wind with the smell of ice and snow blew, and the four of them, who hadn't even raised their hands to wave, were rushed back to the airport hall in a flash. It was cold.
The audience outside, who were about to cheer even louder, were dumbfounded.
Part of Greenland's territory lies within the Arctic Circle, so you can imagine how cold it is. Chu Huaiqin and his team had a major blunder at the airport, and the other teams weren't in much better shape when they arrived; some were already considering backing out.
After two days, everyone finally gathered. The production team didn't say anything, but just asked everyone to go back and rest, and gather at 7 o'clock tomorrow to go to the competition area.
The fifteen people gathered looked at each other, wanting to hear something about the competition from others, but unfortunately, no one knew.
Many people were so nervous that they unexpectedly went to bed late that night, and some people were still asleep at dawn the next day.
However, the audience got up early.
At seven o'clock, the live broadcast room is ready to start.
What meets the eye is the endless sea. In the distance, glaciers stand on the sea level. The camera flies down from a high altitude, and everyone sees pieces of snow-white ice floes dotted with the azure blue, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds in the sky. The sea ice and the sky are connected, and white clouds are swimming in the sea. No, that's not right, that's a polar bear.
The audience was moved and marveled at the wonders of nature.
The drone continued to fly towards the glacier. The endless white snow made everyone feel endless. As their eyes followed the drone forward, a white ice sculpture building appeared in front of them. The audience was stunned. How did it suddenly appear?
Before he could recover his surprise, the drone flew into the ice sculpture building, passed over the hall, and swept away from the corridor. The door was opened, revealing a large snow-white bed and a head of fluffy black hair.
"Well, it's daybreak."
A hoarse, sleepy voice came from under the snow-white quilt. A smooth arm stretched out, lifted the quilt, and an unparalleled handsome face appeared in front of everyone.
The audience's breathing tightened instantly, and they wanted to pull the quilt covering his chest away, pull it away...
"Chu Huaiqin."
Three words suddenly appeared, and the picture was forced to freeze. Then, the drone flew away and the picture began to move again.
"No, come back."
"I'll give you a hundred green coins in exchange for your return. Don't leave. I want to see more."
"Damn it, Anthony, you're not a human being. Let us watch this. What will happen if we continue to watch? Will we die?"
"Ahhh, brother, oh my god, it's my brother. I knew that every survival show would have a scene with the previous champion, but I never thought that one day I would actually see a 'sex scene' at the beginning of a survival show. Should I be happy or should I beat up Anthony?"
"Anthony, ahhh, hand Chu over. You stopped filming halfway. What's going on?"
The drone didn't hear anything and continued to open other people's doors. Some were half-dressed, some were rinsing their mouths, some were looking for tooth decay with their mouths wide open, some were using the bathroom, and some were talking to the snow-capped mountains outside the window...
Except for two girls who were already up and eating breakfast neatly, everyone else looked miserable.
When the gathering time was approaching, half of the contestants had red faces and the other half looked particularly uncomfortable.
Chu Huaiqin was the calmest. It was only when he took his breakfast and started eating that he realized something was wrong with Xia En.
"What's wrong with you? Did you do something bad?" Chu Huaiqin quickly noticed that Xia En's eyes were flickering when he looked at him.
"No, no." Xia En brought Chu Huaiqin the coffee and added milk and sugar to it. He lowered his head and pursed his lips, which showed that he refused to disclose anything.
"Brother, brother, this is terrible, terrible." The little monk ran to sit opposite Chu Huaiqin with breakfast, and was about to cry.
"What's wrong?" Chu Huaiqin took a bite of the sandwich and felt it was not to his appetite. However, this might be the most filling meal he had ever had, so he endured it and swallowed it. He then took another bite of the barbecue. He had to store fat.
"This morning when I was changing my clothes, a drone flew in and took some photos." The little monk held the fork with his five fingers, picked up a piece of meat and took a big bite. He wanted to make up for the emotional damage.
“Just shoot it.”
"But my pants are only half off."
"Hmm?"
"I'm wearing boxer briefs with big red flowers underneath."
"Ah, luckily I'm dressed and getting ready to go out." Lin Zhinan sat down with breakfast and breathed a sigh of relief. She was also scared when the drone flew in this morning.
What Lin Zhinan didn't know was that the two girls were deliberately placed last, and the staff had to confirm the situation before filming.
"Sister, sister, sister..."
The little monk looked at Lin Zhinan in horror. She heard it, she heard it—
"Bang!"
The fork fell onto the plate and the little monk lay on the table like a dead pig.
The audience in the live broadcast room were so amused by the little monk that they laughed like crazy, and the comments were all hahahaha.
"Is that so?" Chu Huaiqin seemed to be lost in thought. He must have been asleep when the drone came in. He turned his gaze to Xia Entang: "What about you?"
Xia Entropy: “…”
Live broadcast room
"Hahaha, I know, I know. He said to the snow outside the window: Today is another day for me to love you, and today is another day for you to love me."
"Hahaha, that's so funny, so funny."
"Oh my god, after last year's wilderness survival, Xia Entang appeared in front of the media in a suit and tie, looking calm and proper. I thought he had matured, but I didn't expect that, hahahaha!"
"Ahhh, I'm blushing. Let's see what he says. Will he lie to his own brother?"
"He wouldn't dare. Xia Entang would never dare to lie."
"Add ID number."
Xia En really didn't dare to lie to Chu Huaiqin. After he finished speaking, his face turned red.
Allen Chu chuckled: "Well, today is another day of loving you."
Live broadcast room
“So sour!”
"Refuse to eat this bowl of dog food and kick it over."
"It's so sweet it hurts my teeth. It's another day of dog abuse."
"I came here to see the joke, why did it become a sweet little romance? Is this a dog-killing scam?"
The live broadcast room is bustling with activity.
Soon, the program team blew the whistle and assembled.
The seventh wilderness survival competition is about to begin.
