Chapter 239
The Arctic fox was happily gnawing, and the two children, witnessing the law of the jungle for the first time, were terrified. The young monk took a deep breath and quietly pulled Lin Zhinan away.
The two of them had a lot to say, so they ran back to talk to Chu Huaiqin and the others, but they didn't expect to go out to sea to fish.
With the good results from the previous fishing, everyone set out again today with great ambitions, all on their minds was to catch more fish than before. The live broadcast room also believed so. However, at the end of the day, reality slapped them in the face. Each team only caught a pitiful ten or so smelts. In the words of the live broadcast room audience, this was like disturbing the smelt's nest.
"Strange! We used to catch so many, why is it so strange today?" Paige muttered, shaking her head from side to side until she finally fixed her gaze on Edward. "I remember you only caught three smelt once before, and haven't been out to sea since?"
Edward: “Nothing.”
Franco: “I clearly remember this.”
Edward: “…”
In order to prove that Edward was a "fish-seeking person", Paige rowed her own boat away and never played with Group A again. In the last net of the day, she indeed caught two cod.
Edward: “…”
"Look, Chu, I told you! That's right!" Peppa rowed the boat past Group A.
Wade from Group B also found it very strange. After they left Group A, they really caught cod again. Although there were still few fish, the cod were big and much better than smelt.
"Chu, I didn't." Edward was furious. Paige was insulting his personality.
"Maybe!" Chu Huaiqin nodded with difficulty.
Then, in the second and third days, in order to prove that he was not "Fish-Seeing Sorrow", Edward followed Chu Huaiqin and the others out to sea every day. And the sea seemed to verify Paige's words. Group A really didn't catch any big fish for several days. Seeing that the stored food was almost eaten, Group A finally took action.
"Edward, take a rest today!" Chu Huaiqin patted his shoulder and jumped onto the boat.
Edward: "Chu..."
Xia Entang grabbed Edward, who was about to run onto the boat, and said to the little monk, "Little monk, do you still want to fill your stomach?"
"Yes," the little monk replied loudly, hugging Edward tightly. "Go fishing!"
Edward: “…”
The fish suddenly dwindled, even without Edward. Not only Group A, but the other two groups also saw their food dwindle. From being able to eat their fill, they were back to starving. The audience watching the livestream felt pity for them.
One viewer said: "Fortunately there is still some green on the ground."
An audience member: “…”
No one found the reason for the food shortage, but the ice where they used to live had completely melted, and from time to time they could see floating ice. This was not surprising, but what was strange was that one day everyone got up and saw garbage on one side of the sea.
"What's going on?"
The three groups stood on the surface, dumbfounded by the floating cans, mineral water bottles, plastic snack packets, various unknown ropes, and scraps of paper. It was terrifying. It was as if the sea had turned into a garbage dump overnight.
"Can this still catch fish?" Xia En frowned, thinking that these things couldn't have suddenly appeared, and he couldn't tell where they came from for the time being.
"Then should we continue to catch them?" Paige was also very worried. The situation was not optimistic.
"If we don't fish, we won't have anything to eat." Chu Huaiqin said, "Let's go and take a look."
The three teams looked heavy-hearted as they got on a small boat and went out to sea. The seaside was not so bad, so they rowed farther away. The garbage was entangled on the oars, and they had to clean it up while rowing. They chose a place where there was not much garbage to cast their nets, and did not go back. Instead, they put up their fishing rods on the small boat, frowning at the large amount of garbage.
"Remember those birds that died before?" Ali suddenly said.
"It's the ones that swallowed the plastic." Xia En also remembered that they didn't care at the time.
"Brother, what are you doing?" The little monk saw Chu Huaiqin pick up the bottle and curiously came closer to take a look. Although he didn't understand what Chu Huaiqin was going to do, the little monk still helped.
"Boring." Chu Huaiqin replied and continued to put the garbage onto the boat.
The people from Groups BC looked at Chu Huaiqin. He looked sullen, his thoughts unclear. Xia Entropy knew he was angry. Ali and Caesar also looked unhappy. They were both professionals in wilderness survival, having traveled extensively and witnessed the human impact on nature. They knew the extent of the damage this caused to the environment.
It took some time before the net was put down and put back online, so everyone quickly started picking up garbage from the sea.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also furious.
"That's too much. Where did this garbage come from?"
"Is it because the water flows down from above?"
"Oh, right. I didn't see the ice completely melted before, but it came out. What's going on?"
"I don't care what the situation is. This pile of garbage makes me angry. Have some manners. Who threw it here?"
"That's right, I'm so angry. Find the person who threw the garbage."
The live broadcast was angry.
"Hurry, Peppa, poke it over here with your fishing rod." The little monk used a paddle to scoop the garbage over here, but it was getting farther and farther away, so he had to call Peppa on another boat for help.
"Little monk, that snack bag."
"Ah, why are there still watermelon rinds?"
On the sea, only the little monk and Peppa were left chirping.
After more than three hours, the crowd had actually filled up all three boats, and there was almost no place for people to sit. However, everyone was still very happy to see that there was a lot less garbage on the sea.
However, when they went to pull up the net, their faces turned green as they pulled up a net full of garbage.
The three teams came back in their boats with unfriendly faces. They were thinking about how to deal with the garbage when someone noticed a tent set up not far away with a sign on it that said "Garbage Exchange".
Everyone: “…”
"Brother, it's someone from the director team." The little monk exclaimed.
"I see." Chu Huaiqin thought that the director team had calculated this long ago.
Others also understood, but some people in the live broadcast room were dumbfounded.
"Was the garbage thrown away by the director team?"
"roll."
Since the director team wanted to exchange things, everyone didn't hesitate and started moving garbage to the "garbage exchange center". I don't know how the director team calculated it, but each group got more than six fish and could also use fish flour.
"Is the director team planning to exchange garbage for food?" Chu Huaiqin asked with a smile.
"Guess!" Anthony sat in the director's chair and smiled kindly.
Everyone: I really want to beat him up.
It is more convenient to be able to change it here with the director team, so we don’t have to go to the residential area. After lunch, everyone prepared to row out in the boat to fish out another one.
Chu Huaiqin: "Zhinan and the little monk stay, Edward come with us!"
Edward: "Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go, don't worry, I know how to pick up trash."
He was very depressed because he couldn't get on the boat a few days ago.
Edward went out to sea with great enthusiasm. It took him more than three hours to fish. He kept swinging the boat and bending down. He was so tired that tears came out.
When he came back at night, Edward lay in the tent and howled, which made the little monk very angry.
"Brother, I've been fishing with Xia Entang all day without making any noise. You're making so much noise." The little monk stepped on Edward's back and let out another long "Ao".
Everyone was tired that day, so they ate early and fell asleep instantly on the bed.
The humans here have quieted down, but the small animals are lively. The birds are singing sweetly, Arctic foxes are chasing mice, geese are bringing their goslings out of their holes, and Arctic grouse are digging for insects in the soil. The scene is full of vitality and it is a pleasure to watch. However, when everyone thinks of the image on the sea today, their mood becomes heavy again.
After a tiring day yesterday, Chu Huaiqin and Xia Entang slept very soundly. However, the little monk and Lin Zhinan got up early. The camera was set up not far from their tent, but the director team didn't see it. Lin Zhinan looked at the time and found that it was just past five o'clock.
Yesterday, Chu Huaiqin and the others went to bed at around 8 o'clock, and Lin Zhinan followed suit. They got up early this morning, but they didn't expect that the directors' team hadn't gotten up yet. However, outside the directors' tent, they saw two on-duty personnel sleeping on the table.
The little monk went out to sea yesterday morning and did not go in the afternoon. Lin Zhinan stayed on land all day. While cooking breakfast, he listened to the little monk talk about what he saw at sea yesterday. Curious, he put the dough back in the tent to ferment, and the two of them ran to the beach.
"Ah, why is there so much garbage again?" The little monk pointed at the sea, speechless. Why is there so much garbage? It was almost cleared yesterday, so why?
"Oh my god, there are so many," Lin Zhinan was also surprised. "Little monk, look, is there any garbage moving in the water?"
"The garbage is moving?" The little monk was surprised. He looked in the direction Lin Zhinan pointed. His pupils widened slightly. He saw a white and tender animal rolling in the water. He could also hear faint sounds. "Sister, sister, is that a baby crying?"
"No, no, that's the sound of a cow. Ah, it's a white whale." Lin Zhinan suddenly remembered this animal. Looking closely, it seemed to be being pulled underwater by something. "Yes, is something biting it?"
"Ah, it's barking again. What should I do? What should I do?" The little monk stamped his feet anxiously, wishing he could jump into the sea to see what was going on.
"Let's go save it." Lin Zhinan made a quick decision, ran to pull the boat, and pushed it into the sea. "Little monk, go back and call me, brother. No, go call the director."
Brother was exhausted yesterday, Lin Zhinan wanted them to sleep a little longer.
"No, you go, I, I will go to save it." The little monk climbed onto the boat in a panic. He heard the white whale's cries becoming more and more urgent, and knew that if he didn't go over, it would be finished.
"Aren't you afraid?" Lin Zhinan clearly saw that he was very scared just now.
"I, I'm not afraid, hurry up..." the little monk gritted his teeth.
"I'll go with you." Lin Zhinan climbed onto the boat. "Hurry, little monk, you row the boat."
Lin Zhinan took out a knife from the boat. She must have seen it right. The white whale must have been entangled in the rope.
Chu Huaiqin woke up out of habit. No matter how tired he was, he had to open his eyes when his biological clock arrived. However, his body was still a little sore, so Chu Huaiqin lay on the quilt and didn't want to get up.
"Chu, Chu, where is the little monk!" Peppa also got up and shouted outside the tent.
"Chu, the little monk and his sister are missing." Edward screamed.
Chu Huaiqin was enjoying Xia En's massage. He immediately sat up, put on his clothes and went out.
"What's wrong?" Chu Huaiqin looked at Edward's exaggerated expression and asked, "What do you mean the little monk and his sister are missing?"
"I looked for them, but I didn't see them." Edward shrugged.
"Let's go somewhere to play!" Xia En said.
Chu Huaiqin looked around and saw no one, but the pot outside was already set up, indicating that Lin Zhinan wanted to cook something. Chu Huaiqin opened Lin Zhinan's tent again and found that the dough was fermenting.
Chu Huaiqin: "Let's go to the beach."
A group of people walked towards the beach in a mighty manner. Anthony caught Edward and asked him, only to find out that Chu Huaiqin and the others were looking for Lin Zhinan.
"Direct the video and have a look." Anthony said to the assistant director. To be honest, he didn't see the little monk and Lin Zhinan after he woke up, and thought they were still asleep.
He usually reviews the videos that were recorded overnight at noon.
"They've been out to sea for an hour." The assistant director quickly rewound the video and found that after the two people got on the boat, they were no longer seen.
Their camp was some distance away from the seashore, separated by a rocky mountain and a small forest, which obstructed their view and prevented them from seeing the sea in all directions. Therefore, no one noticed Lin Zhinan and his crew after they went out to sea.
Anthony's heart skipped a beat, and he stood up immediately: "Hurry, lifeguards, film crew, and lifebuoys, follow us."
The director team's boat also docked at the beach, and everyone rushed to the beach.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also dumbfounded.
"Oh my god, did no one notice they went to the beach?"
"Ahhh, what's going on? Didn't the live broadcast audience see it?"
"They must have woken up, and the director on duty fell asleep again. When the two of them went out, no one followed them. There was no live broadcast room, so naturally we didn't know."
"An hour, I think it should be fine. They are both little adults now. Maybe they just want to go out to sea to catch fish."
"Yeah, why are you all so nervous? I don't understand."
The audience in the live broadcast room didn’t understand, but the people on the scene were anxious.
Chu Huaiqin and his group were walking in front. When they heard hurried noises behind them, they turned around and saw Anthony and his men running towards them.
"What's wrong?" Chu Huaiqin's heart sank and he asked loudly.
"They've been out to sea for almost an hour." The assistant director shouted as he ran.
Chu Huaiqin and Xia Entang exchanged a glance and immediately sped toward the beach. Before they even got close, they saw their group's boat was indeed gone. As they got closer, they were even more surprised. In the distance, on a sea of garbage, they saw Lin Zhinan and the little monk clinging to the overturned boat, shouting towards them. But the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, and the distance meant they could only hear the little monk's mouth moving, unable to make out his shouts.
"God, what are they doing?" Edward looked at the two people on the sea in disbelief.
"How could the boat capsize? How could it capsize?" Peppa Pig was also dumbfounded. He loved the little monk very much, and it was very sad to see him soaking in such cold sea water.
"Hurry, get on the speedboat," Anthony shouted.
"No, there is too much garbage. It will kill the speedboat engine." The driver quickly reminded.
“Crash!”
The sound of water was heard, and everyone turned their heads to see that Chu Huaiqin and Xia Entang had already pushed Group C's boat into the water. The two of them got on the boat, and Ali and Caesar also ran up.
"Throw the lifebuoy over here." Chu Huaiqin shouted to the staff.
The staff immediately threw the lifebuoy in their hands up, and the lifeguard was ready to get on the boat, but Chu Huaiqin and the others had already rowed out.
The little monk and Lin Zhinan had been away from the shore for an hour. They didn't know how long they had been soaking in the water. A few minutes could mean life or death.
