Chapter 225
The incident of Group B cutting the net stunned both the competitors and the livestream. Of course, the livestream knew about it before the competitors did, as they were the only ones watching after everyone fell asleep. When Ilona emerged from the tent, everyone was quite surprised, wondering why she'd come out. Seeing her rowing out to sea, her fans were still loudly raving about how great their idol was and how hard they'd fought for the team. But when she reached the area where Group A had cast their nets and took out the scissors, everyone was stunned.
"God, if I remember correctly, Group A's net should be further back!"
"Hahaha, this is Group B's own network!"
"Is this your own fault?"
"Crack!" As the clip cut, Group B's fans were on the verge of tears. Wade and Liman's fans were lashing out at Ilona, while Ilona's fans were defending her. The clamor was so intense that other fans, infuriated, took to the internet to denounce Ilona, posting comments on the "Yan and Black Face" websites, drawing a large crowd.
Look, after Chu Huaiqin and the others woke up, the number of people online had exceeded 80 million. You know, except for the six champions, the other people selected are all very popular.
"Who was the idiot who put Ilona in the top nine? Come out."
"Ahhh, I used to think Ilona was cheerful and straightforward, but this is the first time I've discovered someone so stupid."
"It's all because of Chu from Group A. He put the fishing net next to Group B, which caused Ilona to make the wrong cut."
"What? Cutting Group A's net is justice?"
"That was because of Chu that Ilona was beaten."
"What a joke! Ilona has a bad temper and offended the indigenous people. It has nothing to do with my brother."
"That's right, I haven't settled the score with you about my sister yet!"
"Don't cue my dear brother, take him away, sprint the 100 meters, and you guys in Group B can handle the matter among yourselves."
"Who chose her to be in Group B in the first place? Troublemaker."
The fans of Group B launched a massive attack on Ilona's fans, and were so angry that their heads hurt. Fishing nets are their capital for survival in the Arctic. Without fishing nets, they would starve to death with only fishing rods.
The atmosphere in Group B was very low. Even the usually friendly Wade was silent, and Alexander's face turned black.
"What does this have to do with me? It's all Chu's fault. He set me up on purpose." Ilona screamed. She didn't expect these people not to stand up for her and even give her a cold shoulder.
Ali frowned and said, "If you hadn't had bad intentions to cut the net, how could he have set the trap..."
"How do you know Chu is setting you up?" Liman said unhappily, "Why are you putting the blame on others for your own mistakes?"
"Liman, you and I are on the same team, why don't you stand on my side?" Ilona was incredulous. "Don't you hate him too? You are..."
"Okay, now we have to figure out how to fix the net." Wade interrupted Ilona, not wanting to cause internal conflict. In this icy place, if everyone disagreed, they simply couldn't survive. However, he said, "Ilona, I hope you'll at least tell us if you're going to do anything in the future."
"That's right, and these methods are too bad. No matter whose net it is, it shouldn't be cut. If you want to beat them up, do it openly." Alexander clenched his fists and his muscles twitched. He really wanted to fight with Chu. He also watched the last outdoor live broadcast room and was very curious about his strength.
"I'll go and exchange the food later!" Ali was a professional explorer with experience in the Arctic and could speak a few words of the local language. This time, Ilona was asked to do the exchange because she couldn't just carry ice, she could only do logistics. Furthermore, Ali assumed that since the production team had asked them to exchange food, they would have told the locals about it. He didn't expect the show to be so slick that he didn't say anything.
"Aren't you going to take revenge?" Ilona couldn't believe that these people just changed the subject like that.
"Who are you going to take revenge on?" Wade was getting impatient.
"Of course it's Group A." Ilona said as a matter of course.
Liman glanced at Ilona, said nothing, and walked towards the ice rink. He must be crazy to be in the same group with this woman. He originally wanted to be in the same group with Chu Huaiqin, but he didn't expect that bastard Edward took it.
Alexander sneered and left.
"Ilona, you don't have to go to the ice rink, just fish here!" Ali didn't want to answer her question.
Ilona didn't want to stay at the beach all the time. How cold would that be? But...
"Let's fish!" Ilona put on a meaningful smile and turned to get the fishing rod.
Live broadcast room
"Fuck, sister, this is dangerous."
"Yes, my sister will be fishing at the beach. What do you want, Ilona?"
"Don't worry, my brother is a smart man and will handle it."
The Chinese fans in the live broadcast room could only comfort themselves in this way.
"What about the internet?" Wade was quite troubled.
"I'll go find the local residents and see if there's anyone who knows how to catch fish with a net." This was the only solution Ali could think of.
After this farce, everyone started to get busy again. The first thing Group A did was to pull up the net, but they only caught a cod half an arm's length and two smelts.
"Are there too few fish?" Chu Huaiqin looked at the ice and said to the little monk, "Let's row farther!"
"Okay, okay, there are no fish here. I wonder if they were all eaten by the polar bears." The little monk muttered. If this continued, they would faint from hunger.
The two continued to row the boat out. Not long after, a seal appeared in front of them. Its round body was lying on the floating snow with an enchanting posture.
The live broadcast room was filled with people screaming.
"This move is good, hahaha, is it because my brother is here?"
"Pfft, don't do that. Cross-species is not advisable, but this black line is so beautiful!"
"There should be fish here! It would be unsafe to go any further."
"Wait, I think I see something underwater?"
"What's the meaning?"
Someone in the live broadcast room was puzzled and looked down in the direction indicated. Sure enough, they saw a polar bear on the water. It was moving quickly towards the seal and just passed through the boat.
Chu Huaiqin also noticed it, "Little monk, hurry up, retreat."
"What's wrong?" The little monk was puzzled. He was looking around, trying to decide where to cast his net.
"The polar bear is going to hunt." Chu Huaiqin said in a deep voice.
The little monk blinked, not understanding.
"If a fight breaks out, it'll be troublesome," Chu Huaiqin explained. Seals have always been polar bears' prey, but even so, there would be a fight before the entrance. Their boat was too close, too small, and if it was hit, it would undoubtedly capsize.
The two men quickly maneuvered the boat backwards. Within two meters, the polar bear emerged from the water, sprang up with a crash, and bit the seal. The seal, resting carefree, hadn't anticipated such a move and immediately tried to flee, lashing its tail. But it was too late; the polar bear had already bitten its stomach.
"Bang!"
The two animals fell into the sea at the same time, and what followed was a desperate fight with splashing water. They rolled from the ice floe they had caught to the surface of the water where Chu Huaiqin and his team had parked their boat. After a while, they smelled blood. The polar bear surfaced with the seal's throat tightly in its mouth, and then dragged the seal towards the ice floe.
The audience in the live broadcast room and the little monk swallowed their saliva at the same time. It was so amazing.
The two men chose a distant spot to cast their nets and paddle back. Chu Huaiqin took Xia En and Edward to trade for food, hoping the other two would get to know each other and make it easier for anyone to come later. This time, they had a few precious grayling fish to trade for flour, not even oil. There were simply too few fish, and they had to make sure they had enough food first.
Paige and Zorro also set off behind them. The two of them were riding snowmobiles, making a "thump thump thump" sound as they drove beside Chu Huaiqin and the others. Seeing Xia Entropy pedaling hard, with Chu Huaiqin and Edward sitting on the iron sheet in the back, Paige laughed out loud, feeling a sense of happiness that surpassed Chu.
Live broadcast room: "You can only compete in this place."
Zoro said to Chu Huaiqin: "Chu, come to my car! I will take you faster and more comfortably."
Xia Entropy: "Thank you, but that's not necessary."
Zorro: "Xia, you can't do this. Beauty must be protected."
Chu Huaiqin: “…”
Live broadcast room: "You will be beaten."
Xia En's forehead twitched. "He's happy to ride my bike."
Xia Entang glanced at Paige's snowmobile. He had seen them driving it around for the past two days, so the gas must be almost gone!
After a few words, Group C distanced themselves. When Chu Huaiqin arrived at the village, he saw Ali from Group B, who was talking to the locals and seemed to be communicating well. When he saw Chu Huaiqin and the others, he nodded as a greeting.
The monk took Lin Zhinan fishing. With Chu Huaiqin's special instructions, he had been paying attention to Ilona's movements. When he saw her coming with a fishing rod, he immediately became alert. He shook the fishing rod in his hand, thinking that she dared to bully her sister, so he gave her a mixed doubles with a stick.
Ilona didn't do anything, but just squatted next to the two of them to fish, and pulled up the line from time to time, making the water splash, so that the little monk couldn't catch any fish.
The Chinese audience in the live broadcast room were angry, but Ilona's fans were laughing happily.
Ali from Group B left quickly, and the first stop for Group AC was the village chief's house. After talking, they found out that he was indeed the NPC from the program team. After handing over the things, Group C drove away first, and Chu Huaiqin and the others followed slowly behind. After passing the foot of the first mountain, when they reached the foot of the second mountain, the wolf howl heard yesterday sounded again.
The three of them looked at each other, feeling a little shocked.
However, the live broadcast room was about to explode at this time.
"Ahhhhh, dear brother, don't go, there are wolves, there are wolves!"
"Poor Peppa Pig, the car is out of gas right now and you're showing off!"
"God, luckily there are only two of them, Paige, come on and kill them and everything will be fine."
"These Arctic wolves are so thin, so terribly thin. They definitely won't move. They may not have eaten for many days."
"I think it should be fine. We've all participated in competitions and are pretty familiar with using watches. It will definitely be fine."
"Am I the only one wondering why these wolves are so thin?"
"Is this important? Ahhh, my brothers are here."
Chu Huaiqin thought the wolf howling would be the same as yesterday, on the other side of the mountain. What he didn't expect was that when the snow bike turned a corner, he saw two wolves about two meters long.
