Chapter 59
The next day, the five of them woke up with dejected expressions, dark circles under their eyes, and yawning constantly. Xia En, sleepwalking, walked towards the seashore with a harpoon in hand, while the young monk and Su Huaichen climbed onto the half-finished raft and sat down.
"Brother, do you think it's because we haven't taken a shower for four or five days that we have attracted so many mosquitoes?" The little monk was so sleepy that he was about to cry.
Lin Zhinan blushed when she heard they hadn't showered in four or five days. Not only had they not showered in four or five days, they hadn't even brushed their teeth. She had spent the past two nights sleeping near the edge of the shed, fearing the odor from her body would bother others.
"If I can't find water to take a bath, I won't have to buy salt when I get home after the show. I can just shave it and use at least half a bucket." Su Huaichen no longer has the image of an artist. He says whatever he wants. Sometimes when he argues with the little monk, he almost breathes on him, intending to win.
Live broadcast room:
"I declare that starting today, I will no longer be a fan."
"Ahh, give me back the elegant and noble Actor Su. Who is this? I don't even know him."
"I'm about to cry. Is this human nature? Is this human nature?"
The live broadcast room howled loudly for the transformation of Actor Su.
Dragging their exhausted bodies, the men began tying up the raft. Chu Huaiqin sharpened a harpoon with a knife, said goodbye to Su Huaichen, and turned toward the beach. Based on their current progress, their raft should be ready by noon, at which point they would depart. It would be best to grab breakfast and lunch quickly, then return to help. They would rest for an hour or two at noon before heading out again.
When Chu Huaiqin arrived at the beach, Xia Entang had already entered the water, having taken off his clothes. Chu Huaiqin warmed up a few times and then joined the group. They'd all been covered in a layer of debris over the past few days, and the best way to avoid it was to go shirtless, which was more comfortable. Xia Entang did this, but there was a downside: his skin would easily peel off.
Chu Huaiqin didn't dive deep into the sea, but simply speared fish along the edge. He encountered Xia En and received a glare from him, leaving him feeling both amused and helpless. As long as he didn't fall into a large area of water, he didn't think he needed to worry too much.
Two people were much faster than one, and the area was rich in resources. After almost two hours, the shore had been shoveled dry with fish and shrimp. Chu Huaiqin saw that the number was almost enough and called Xia Entanglement up. As they walked back, there was a commotion ahead. The people from Peacock Nation seemed to be arguing with the director about something, their veins bulging, and they were about to fight.
Shinji Fujita happened to pass by with a fish in his hand and told the story.
Because Chu Huaiqin and his team had found a dagger in the water yesterday, many people also went into the water to look for it today. Among them, a foreign player from the Shenniu team swam too far and almost drowned. After being rescued, he was disqualified. They were dissatisfied and started arguing with the director team.
There were a lot of people watching, and it was completely different from when they came. Everyone's face was sunburned and darker, and some foreign players even had peeling skin on their faces.
Chu Huaiqin turned around and saw Xia En's red and black face, so he reached out and touched it.
"What, what happened?" Xia En was frightened by Chu Huaiqin. He jumped back a long way and looked at Chu Huaiqin warily.
"Nothing, thank you for your hard work." Chu Huaiqin was very sincere, but Xia En was as surprised as if he had seen a ghost. He had no idea why he suddenly said this.
The food was divided into two portions. One portion was cooked and eaten now, and then the raft could be made. The other portion was grilled and eaten after the raft was completed. It was already 11 o'clock in the morning.
Chu Huaiqin looked at the time and felt that it was almost time. "Rest for two hours, we will set off at one o'clock."
Noon in early summer is the most sleepy time. Those who didn't sleep well last night immediately fell asleep in the tent. Even though their bodies were sticky after five days, everyone still slept soundly.
The live studio was quite worried about these people. Would they really not oversleep like this? Everyone was waiting, but the A1 camera cut to something else. Many people ran to the split screen to see if Chu Huaiqin could really wake up so punctually.
It was almost one o'clock, and everyone held their breath. At exactly one o'clock, everyone was stunned to see Chu Huaiqin, who was resting against a tree, open his eyes. It was exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, no more, no less. It was amazing.
"The biological clock has reached a terrifying point."
"This person is poisonous."
This was the comment from the live broadcast room. After several people woke up, they began to pack up and set off. The results of the Peacock Country team had already come out. The results of the rescued foreign players had changed and they were eliminated. One of the foreign players who had a fight with the director team was also withdrawn from the competition. Only three stars were left in the Peacock Country team.
When the announcement was made, the contestants from other islands were shocked. They didn't expect that they would be the first to be eliminated.
The raft was tied to vines and dragged into the water. The backpack and the remaining two coconuts were loaded onto the raft. Finally, the five people, all soaked, arrived. But everyone was very happy. The young monk even turned around and waved to the teams behind them who had watched them leave. Chu Huaiqin was really afraid that those people would rush over and beat him up.
The two islands were quite far apart, and the sun was scorching. Even though they wore straw hats, they felt like they were in a steamer, stuffy and hot, and the sea water had no effect at all.
"It might rain." Chu Huaiqin said. The mosquitoes were so crazy last night, it might be related to this.
"Then we can take a bath." The little monk was very happy. He hadn't touched clean water for many days, and now he was drooling at the thought of clean water.
Chu Huaiqin remained silent. According to the information he had found, this place was prone to storms, and it was hard to say whether rain was a good thing or a bad thing.
The five of them paddled all the way until almost six in the afternoon before they approached Island B. By then, everyone was very tired and thought that if they just pushed harder, they could reach the island. Once on the island, there would be a source of clean water, and they could brush their teeth, wash their faces, drink water, and take a shower. It was a beautiful thought.
"Brother, what are they doing with those long sticks?" The young monk stood in front of the wooden basket, looking at the people who appeared on the shore and asked curiously, "Ah, there are a lot of stones around them."
There were three people standing on the shore, two of them looked to be of West Asian descent, and one of them looked Southeast Asian. They did not look friendly, but the little monk could not tell. He stood up and waved to them.
"Xia En." Chu Huaiqin called out and clenched the pulp in his hand.
"Yeah!" Xia Entang responded, and took out the harpoon from the backpack.
Su Huaichen and Lin Zhinan also noticed something was wrong. The former held the tactical knife tightly, while the latter hugged the backpack nervously.
The raft flowed along the current towards Island B. When it was about ten meters away, there was a chattering sound from the other side.
The little monk blinked and said depressedly: "Brother, what did they say?"
Chu Huaiqin didn't say anything. Xia En smiled coldly, looked at Chu Huaiqin, and when he nodded, he jumped into the water with a splash.
"Senior, I leave it to you."
"Here."
Su Huaichen handed over the tactical knife, Chu Huaiqin took it, patted Su Huaichen on the shoulder, and then went into the water.
The little monk said, "Ah, why do they want to go into the water? Swim across?"
"Idiot," Lin Zhinan pushed open his backpack and picked up the paddle, "They won't let us through."
The little monk exclaimed, "Ah, why?"
Su Huaichen replied: "This shows that there are many good things on this island!"
The little monk was angry, "That's too much! We insist on..."
“Plop.”
A stone hit them, but missed and landed on the water, splashing water. The little monk looked at the people on the shore who were throwing stones at their raft in disbelief, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Live broadcast room:
Chinese audience: "How shameless! Are they planning to occupy the island?"
Chinese audience: "I finally understand the significance of foreign aid. Their tactics are too despicable!"
Foreign audience: "Isn't this normal? They came first, and the Gun Gun team came later. We didn't even ask for their opinion."
Foreign audience: "That's right. Our team chose this place first, so of course we have the right to decide whether to accept newcomers."
Chinese audience: "Damn it! I didn't mean to curse, but you guys really don't deserve my respect. You're a bunch of muscular, simple-minded idiots. You want to occupy the island? Ask your father, the United States, first!"
Chinese audience: "Who are you? The director didn't even say we couldn't cross the island. Do you have any shame?"
Chinese audience: "I won't scold you anymore, I'll see how my brother will deal with you."
Some people in the live broadcast room were so shocked by the performance of the team on Island B that they were speechless. The Chinese audience was so angry that they felt dizzy and wanted to climb into the computer and beat them up through the Internet.
Someone will help them realize this wish soon.
Chu Huaiqin and Xia En entered the water and swam towards the shore. As they neared the shore, they both emerged. Several people on the shore were hurling rocks at them like crazy, and Chu Huaiqin was struck on the forehead by a stone, causing him to bleed instantly.
Xia Entang was stunned for a moment by his disbelief, then immediately rushed out of the water. His aggressive appearance made the people on the shore instinctively want to attack him, but they didn't expect Xia Entang to be fearless and actually rushed towards him, making the stones that hit him seem powerless.
When Xia En, who was furious, approached the shore, he first grabbed a long stick that was thrown at him and pulled the person into the water, then rushed up and punched the person who was throwing stones.
The shore suddenly became chaotic. Xia Entang was struggling with one against five. He took several punches before Chu Huaiqin got ashore. But after Chu Huaiqin got ashore, the situation was different. After one punch, the person who was hit almost couldn't get up.
It was only then that the people in the live broadcast room saw Chu Huaiqin’s ferocity. He had obviously shown mercy to the people of Peacock Country before!
“…Ah…Ah…”
Scream after scream was terrifying. A drone flew over and began to warn them. Xia Entang finally stomped on them hard before releasing them. His chest heaving violently, he glared at them fiercely. The men, their heads swollen like pigs from the beating, unleashed a barrage of curses at Chu Huaiqin and the others, their language unbearable to read.
Xia En was furious and took a few steps forward to attack but was stopped by Chu Huaiqin. Everyone thought that Chu Huaiqin wanted to let it go. After all, except for the Peacock Kingdom beating the little monk and making him angry, they had never seen him lose his temper. Look, he was still smiling!
His long legs stepped on the beach, he walked gracefully and leisurely, with a smile on his lips, looking very kind. But his next action scared everyone. He squatted in front of the swearing man, grabbed a handful of sand, and slowly moved his other hand in front of the man, pinched his chin in an instant, and stuffed a handful of sand into his mouth as he looked at him in horror.
The man who was cursing fell silent in an instant. Sand got stuck in his throat and he started coughing violently.
Live broadcast room: ...
Foreign audience: How can I look at his smile again?
Domestic audience: Well done. If your mouth is dirty, you have to wash it with sand.
The five people landed safely. Several teams watched them from afar, and no one approached. Just when Chu Huaiqin wanted to sigh about his loneliness, a team of five people rushed out from not far away. When they saw Chu Huaiqin and others, they waved happily and ran over. After all, they had good friends.
