Chapter 85
The hailstorm didn't last long, only five or six minutes. After it passed, everyone came out to discuss whether to set off, but the director team issued an announcement that the weather might last for about three days.
As soon as the announcement came out, everyone gave up on setting out. Several teams short of food took advantage of the three days without hail to start stockpiling provisions. However, this location was unique, and everyone was afraid of getting lost if they ventured too far. So they found a vine to stretch it out. One person stayed at camp, holding one end, and the other was tied around the waist of the person setting out to find food. This way, they wouldn't stray. It was a good idea, but it limited their route, making their search for food more difficult.
In addition to the lack of food, everyone also lacks water. Since they can't find water, hail and rain are the best sources of water. However, unboiled rainwater and hail are still harmful. Everyone's eyes are on Chu Huaiqin and the sheep team.
The former is frightening, no one dares to ask, no one dares to grab. In the words of the live broadcast room, Chu Huaiqin and his team are like the bullies of a survival village in the wild, the kind of people who others avoid when they see them.
Apart from Chu Huaiqin's team, only the Sheep Team was to blame. The Monkey Team and Goryeo Kingdom had their eyes on the Sheep Team, so they went to find the Peacock Team.
The people of Peacock Country were frustrated. Why boil the water when they could just drink it directly?
Live broadcast room: "As expected of a nation that drinks Ganges water, they have a strong physique."
Although the Peacock Kingdom thought so, they would not let the Sheep Team go now that they had an excuse to cause trouble for them. So the three teams came to the Sheep Team's wooden house when there was only one person left.
"Come and borrow the pot." The foreign aid from Goryeo said bluntly, but the stick in his hand kept hitting the pillars of the wooden house's door.
"We won't give it to you." Even if only one person was left behind, the Sheep Nation people refused to give in. They'd previously forced them to help find a boat, and now they were trying to steal their things. These people were truly bullying.
"We're just borrowing it, don't be so stingy." The two brothers from the Peacock Country tried to reach out to the people from the Sheep Country, but were avoided. The person who avoided him bumped into the person behind him, and the person from the Sheep Country was immediately pushed. The other party took the initiative and said, "You deliberately stepped on me."
The people of Sheep Country immediately retorted: "I didn't..."
"I saw it," said the Koreans. There were only two foreign players coming over, but the two stars didn't come. They were playing dead in their own cabin. "They just wanted to borrow the pot. Why did you do it?"
"Yeah," the Monkey Team member also chimed in, "Don't go too far."
Live broadcast room:
"What's going on? How is this different from bullying? These three teams are toxic!"
"Don't take us Shanyuan and Enhui with you. They don't know the situation and are just outsiders causing trouble."
"How can you be a white lotus in a live broadcast? The fans in Goryeo are really shameless."
"We just want to take the blame. Who should we blame for being so stingy? We in the Peacock Nation love peace the most. They were the ones who made the mistake first."
"That's right, this pot should be shared."
"Am I abnormal, or are the fans from these three countries abnormal?"
"I was so angry that I laughed. If you have the guts, just ask your brother for it!"
“It’s really here, haha!”
Someone in the live broadcast room suddenly burst into laughter, and everyone looked and saw that it was really coming.
"Oh, who did you say was being excessive?" Xia En brought the little monk with him. Chu Huaiqin felt bored and was making simple love for his sister in the wooden house. Although he assured the little monk, he was still wary of this place.
Su Huaichen rents out a pot at home to others to boil water in order to collect rent!
They were afraid that they would use the pot to burn something strange, so anyone who wanted to burn rainwater had to find firewood and burn it next to their wooden house.
His landlord-like attitude made the live broadcast room sigh: "This is the first time I have seen someone survive in the wild like this. Chu Huaiqin can be said to have created a new scene of survival in the wild."
The people of the Peacock Nation had not expected Xia Entang and the little monk to come. Their expressions changed again and again, and finally they asked angrily, "Why are you helping them?"
The little monk looked at Xia Entropy, who sneered, making the people from the three teams furious. They talked a lot, but Xia Entropy remained unmoved.
The live broadcast room was happy:
"Haha, the people of Peacock Country seem to be asking, why did you bring your parents when we were fighting?"
"Pfft, it feels like that."
Xia En's arrival forced the three teams to leave. The people of the Sheep Country breathed a sigh of relief. All four of them had gone out, and he was the only one left here. If Xia En hadn't come, those people would not only have to borrow the pot, but their food would probably have been taken away as well.
Sheep Kingdom said a few words of thanks to Xia Entropy, ran back to the house to get some tomatoes he had just found to give to him. When he came out, the man had already walked far away. He wanted to chase after him and see the food in the wooden house, but gave up and decided to wait for the others to come back.
The entire wilderness survival team stayed in this place for three days. The unknown sound rang on time every night, but those who had heard it for two or three nights had become accustomed to it and were not so scared.
Being trapped here for three days wasn't without its benefits. Besides finding a source of water, the other teams were also able to find some food, allowing them to eat until they were half full, sometimes with some left over. Chu Huaiqin and his men were also quite happy about being trapped. For one thing, after wearing clothes that had been soaked with sweat for days and were almost caked with sweat, they finally had water to wash and could even take a shower. It was like killing two birds with one stone!
On the fourth day, the sky cleared, and with nine days left until the competition, the directors lifted the hail warning. Lin Zhinan's □□ was not only ready but also well-practiced, so everyone packed up and set off.
But they still faced a problem: how to get out of this place.
"As long as we can find a way to the coast, we can escape from here." Xia En said in a deep voice.
"Can we determine the direction by listening to the sound of the waves?" Su Huaichen suggested.
"I tried it before the hail." Chu Huaiqin had walked this way before, but he found that the sound of the waves seemed to be moving like a living thing. Chu Huaiqin thought that it might be related to the strange sound at night, which was caused by the special terrain.
"Is there no actual method?" Su Huaichen asked.
"There is one, but..." Chu Huaiqin was not sure, but he had to try now, "I'll try and see if I can succeed."
When the others heard that Chu Huaiqin had a solution, they nodded happily. However, when they turned their eyes to the teams not far away who were carrying backpacks and pretending to be busy, their faces suddenly darkened.
"These people don't still want to follow us, do they?" Su Huaichen was unhappy.
"That's right, how can this be possible? It looks like a mouse." The little monk glared at them angrily.
"It's not impossible to get rid of them." Chu Huaiqin smiled. This terrain was special, and getting rid of them was easy as pie. However, "Where are the Sheep Team?"
"They left this morning, leaving with the camel team." Lin Zhinan woke up in the morning and saw a few tomatoes on the ground of the wooden house. The Japanese said that they were left there by the sheep team, and the people had already left. She forgot about this matter and even forgot to tell Chu Huaiqin and the others.
"Okay! Let's go." Chu Huaiqin gave an order, and several people carried their backpacks and headed towards the target.
When the other teams saw Chu Huaiqin and the others stand up, they hurriedly followed.
The island became hot as the weather returned to normal. Everyone was sweating profusely, but Chu Huaiqin seemed to be taking them shopping and kept going in circles. Following him was too tiring, and these people became angry and even had the urge to stop following him. In this situation, they didn't follow him very hard, so around 2 pm, Chu Huaiqin and his team successfully left all the teams behind, and officially only their own people were left.
Chu Huaiqin took out four leaves. When the others saw them, they were stunned. What were these?
"Huaiqin, what are you doing with this?" Su Huaichen asked as he got closer.
"To identify the direction, among the four leaves, the darker one is in the south," Chu Huaiqin explained.
"Isn't that because there's plenty of sunshine in the south and photosynthesis is stronger?" Lin Zhinan asked. She had just learned this from the textbook.
"Clever," Chu Huaiqin put away the four leaves and said to the four people, "But I'm not completely sure."
"Brother, let's go! We support you." The little monk didn't know anything about photosynthesis, and he believed in Chu Huaiqin unconditionally.
Chu Huaiqin looked at the trusting eyes of several people and smiled. He was glad that he met them when he participated in this survival program. If it was someone else, he might still continue, but he might not be as happy as he is now.
The five of them set out on their leaf-pulling journey, stopping every few steps to compare the colors of the leaves of the shrubs beneath them with those of the larger trees. This was especially true in areas where the directions were unclear. Su Huaichen thought this side was deeper, while the little monk thought that side was deeper, and they nearly came to blows.
The group walked, stopping and starting, until around 6 p.m., when the sound of the waves grew closer. The five of them smiled at each other and quickened their pace. As the vast ocean appeared before them, the young monk and Lin Zhinan cheered, leaping for joy. Su Huaichen was also delighted. He turned to hug Chu Huaiqin, but Xia Entang got there first. The smug young man gave Su Huaichen a provocative look.
Su Huaichen got angry and went to hug the little monk, making him scream.
"Eat seafood hotpot, eat seafood hotpot," the little monk's mouth was almost flowing out. After eating all kinds of food in there for a few days, he missed seafood very much. He took off his clothes and ran to the sea, "Brother, I'm going to catch fish."
"Xia En, go over there!" Chu Huaiqin asked Xia En to follow him quickly, and he and Su Huaichen and others began to set up the camp.
After training in domestic and international competitions, the few of them had gained experience in how to set up tents in different environments. When Xia En and the others returned, the tent was also set up.
The rich dinner once again made the live broadcast room feel that they were really here for vacation!
The other teams still in the forest were in a worse situation. After being thrown off by Chu Huaiqin and his men, they struggled to escape, eventually finding their way out of the previous forest, only to find themselves in another one, which was even darker than the previous one, with more unexplained bird calls. Most terrifyingly, the inexplicable sound was clearer than before, allowing everyone to more clearly hear it. It was crying, truly crying.
"elder brother!"
The little monk and Lin Zhinan rushed towards Chu Huaiqin at the same time, their faces pale as they hugged Chu Huaiqin, their whole bodies trembling.
"Huaiqin, what the hell is this thing!" Su Huaichen was also scared, and hurriedly moved closer to Chu Huaiqin, his hands shaking.
If the sound was faint in the woods before, it now seemed to be crying in my ears, as if a sad woman was crying and telling something to the passing ships.
For a moment, everyone's hair stood on end.
