Chapter 87
“It’s not within the scope of help.”
As the director team said this, the faces of the Monkey Team and the Goryeo Team almost cracked.
"You clearly said we could ask for help, why not?" The Monkey Team roared angrily. The increasingly strong wind around them made them emotionally unstable.
Director Huang said, "Please understand the meaning of the word 'help'. If you don't understand, I can give you a hint. You can ask friends or viewers of the live broadcast room for help. Requests for help include asking for directions, how to identify directions, and more..."
"Also, you can ask the director team to show you a map of the stadium."
The voice of the Peacock Country director suddenly came from the drone.
"You only have one minute to look at the map, so you can't copy it."
Director Li's voice appeared on the drone again.
Director Huang turned his head to glance at the drone, took a step back, and stopped talking.
Meanwhile, Director Li in the director's office looked displeased. He looked at Director Kongqueguo and said, "Director Brahmin, I hope you understand what fairness means. The demands you just announced are beyond our scope."
He was also able to name the map of the competition venue, but fortunately, the terrain of the island was complex, so even if they looked at it, it would be difficult for them to fully remember the route.
The island itself is not very big. If the contestants had a map and could reach their destination directly, then all their previous plans would be wasted.
"This is so unfair! Why can't we copy?" The people of Peacock Country were not happy one second, but were put into cold storage by Director Li's words the next second. They were totally unable to accept the roller coaster-like fluctuations.
"Yes, we asked to be able to copy." The members of the Monkey Team were arrogant and felt that their request was completely reasonable.
Except for their own fans, other people in the live broadcast room felt that they were in cahoots and were unreasonable.
The team over there was arguing with the director's crew, but Chu Huaiqin and his team had already reached the ship. The ship was very tall, and near the door there was a ladder for going up and down, which must have been left behind during the rescue. Some parts of the ladder were rusted. Chu Huaiqin raised his foot and kicked it, and with a clang, the rust fell off and landed on the ground.
After Chu Huaiqin finished kicking, he wrapped his hands with a cloth strip, grabbed the ladder and shook it a few times, then picked up a stone to hit the hull. The people in the live broadcast room were confused by his actions and asked him what he was doing.
The live broadcast of Chu Huaiqin is currently split-screen. Many people don't want to see other teams in a stalemate with the director team in the A1 live broadcast room, so they switch to Chu Huaiqin's side. The number of people increases little by little, and people are almost invisible because of the barrage.
"They're checking the ladder and the hull's strength, right?"
"There's another possibility. He might want to confirm whether there's anything strange inside. After all, this ship has been here for so long."
"Ah, I've heard that in some places, it's a custom that when you go to a hotel or rent a house, you knock on the door before entering to let the things inside know someone's coming."
"No way, I suddenly remembered someone said last night that they saw someone inside the ship. Ahhhh, I can't take it anymore. I have goosebumps."
"What nonsense! What I meant is that if the boat is left for too long, there might be snakes hiding inside, or a large number of lizards or other insects."
The person who said this is so tiring. Why does it feel like the style of the live broadcast room has changed recently?
After kicking the ladder and the back of the boat, Chu Huaiqin asked a few people to stay below while he went up first. Xia En didn't want him to go up alone, so he followed him up.
From the outside, the ship appeared to have three floors, forming a pyramidal ladder shape, with decks at the front and back. The ladder led up to the second floor, where the door opened, revealing a dark interior. Chu Huaiqin shone the light from his watch inside, revealing a large hall and rooms on the other side of the stone mountain.
The chairs and tables in the lobby were all over the floor, and there were a lot of debris on the ground. Some hermit crabs, lizards, unknown insects and other things ran away when they saw the light.
The environment inside is okay. Although there is some rust, most areas are still good. It is the best choice to hide from heavy rain.
"This place is pretty good, what do you think?" Chu Huaiqin looked at Xia En with satisfaction.
Xia En was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded, and then smiled foolishly: This is the first time Chu Huaiqin asked him what he thought!
The two returned to the bottom of the ship. After explaining the situation above, Chu Huaiqin continued, "Everyone, cover your hands with cloth when you go up, and try not to let your skin touch the rust. Be especially careful when walking, and don't fall, understand?"
Even a scratch on the skin by an ordinary rusty object can cause tetanus, let alone a ship that is exposed to sea breezes all year round.
Several people nodded and replied loudly, "I know."
Chu Huaiqin: "What is the most important thing?"
Four people: "Safety is the most important thing."
"Very good," Chu Huaiqin nodded, and continued, "We'll form a staircase. I'll go up first, and then one person will stand at a distance. We'll slowly pass the things up."
"Thunderbolt, bang!"
Suddenly, muffled thunder sounded in the gloomy weather. Several people turned their heads to look from afar, their eyes widened in fear. They saw lightning flashing continuously in the dark clouds, and one bolt seemed to split the entire sea. Several people felt a full sense of oppression in an instant.
"Come on, we agree."
Seeing that the weather was getting more and more terrible, the participating teams finally admitted defeat. They didn't want the director team to force them to withdraw from the competition on the grounds of safety.
At this time, the teams were divided into three. The Sheep Team and the Camel Team stood together, the Japanese Country and the Sang Country stood together, and the rest were the Gao Tongli Country, the Peacock Team and the Monkey Team. After the teams chatted for a while, they began to exercise their power. The first thing they did was to look at the competition area map. Whoever used the request for help could see it.
The teams weren't stupid enough to use the same request all at once. Instead, two members of the team watched. The request was for help from outsiders, and many people called their former mentors, friends, geography teachers, and wilderness survival experts. The invariable request was, "According to the competition map, where is there a place to hide from the rain?"
"Ship."
Almost all those who were asked for help responded with these two words. The Chinese audience was so angry that they couldn't speak up, but since things had come to this, there was nothing they could do.
According to the positions of the two groups, they were indeed closest to the ship, otherwise they would not be able to hear the "crying sound" as clearly as Chu Huaiqin and the others.
After two requests, the last group of people asked how to get to the ship.
This request actually included how to get out of the forest, but the person asking for help was smart. He didn't ask how to get out of the forest, but how to get to the ship. Director Li couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.
After Chu Huaiqin entered the hold, he found an iron plate and threw firewood into it to light a fire. Slowly, the light became brighter and the situation inside became clearer.
"Let's clean it up!" Lin Zhinan said. The boat windows were a bit broken, and the sea breeze kept blowing in. The air was pretty good, but it was dirty and dusty. I didn't know if I would live here for long, so I decided to clean it up to make it more comfortable.
"Okay, you guys go ahead and do your thing. I'll go outside and check on the lightning rod." After Chu Huaiqin finished speaking, he told everyone to look carefully when moving things or sweeping the floor, and not to reach into the dark, for fear of touching a snake.
The little monk and Lin Zhinan felt their hair stand on end when they heard this.
When Chu Huaiqin walked outside, the director's crew and a group of professionals had already climbed onto the top deck and were testing the old lightning rod to confirm whether it was usable. Chu Huaiqin saw that there was nothing for him to do, so he got off the boat and walked to a nearby place to break off a few branches and returned to the hold. The monk found a seat by the window, moved the rusty tables and chairs away, and was just worrying about how to sweep away the debris on the ground when Chu Huaiqin handed him a handful of branches. "Hey, this is easy to use, why didn't I think of it." The monk took it with great interest and picked up the branches and swept forward. The debris was cleared away in a snap. Unfortunately, Su Huaichen was pushing a chair in front of him, and the dust splashed all over him.
"Little monk." Su Huaichen threw the broken chair away angrily and rushed towards the little monk for revenge.
The two of them started to quarrel in the hold. Lin Zhinan was cooking sweet potato soup. It was about to rain, and their water supply was sufficient, so they wanted to reward themselves. Seeing the little monk and Su Huaichen quarreling, Lin Zhinan, who was squatting on the wood, laughed out loud.
Chu Huaiqin walked towards the first room in the lobby and tried to push it open. Due to its age, the door made a creaking sound when pushed, and the rust was quite stuck. Chu Huaiqin raised his foot and kicked it. "Bang!" A loud bang startled the director team and Xia Entang and others in the hold.
"Sorry, I used too much force." Chu Huaiqin turned around and smiled apologetically at everyone.
The directors waved their hands and said it was okay. The little monk ran past Su Huaichen to Chu Huaiqin and asked him what he was doing.
"See if the room is available." Chu Huaiqin replied. The door had been kicked open, and Chu Huaiqin turned on the light of his watch to look inside.
This is a small room of about five square meters, with a bed, weathered quilt and clothes, a table and two chairs.
"Brother, you can let my sister live here." The little monk said excitedly.
Besides them, the director crew was also staying in the hold, a mass of about twenty people, all tall and strong. Normally, they would have had a tent to hide behind, and besides the photographer, there wouldn't be so many people around during filming. Now, with everyone trapped in the hold, with my sister being the only girl, it was really tough.
"Now that you know, clean it up properly." Chu Huaiqin rolled up his sleeves and used a stick with the little monk to pick up the weathered quilts and clothes and drop them to the ground. He also threw other miscellaneous things on top, preparing to push them outside and throw them away later.
Su Huaichen ran over at this time. Seeing Chu Huaiqin cleaning the room, he wondered whether he should go to the next room to clean two more rooms. Chu Huaiqin thought about it and agreed. So Su Huaichen ran away happily. He was excited to think that after sleeping for so long, he could finally lie on the bed one day.
When Chu Huaiqin and the little monk came out pushing a pile of weathered quilts and clothes with sticks, the first drop of rain fell.
"It's raining," the little monk exclaimed, his eyes shining. "Brother, we can take a bath again. Oh, and we can use the rain water to clean the room."
Thinking of this, the little monk was very happy.
The two were about to go back when the drone suddenly issued an announcement, saying that several other teams had all used the help function. The announcement did not say where they used the help function, but Chu Huaiqin's face sank.
"Brother, what demands do you think they will make?" the little monk asked curiously.
"I don't know, but the room I want to clean up only needs one more." Chu Huaiqin walked back to the hold with a gloomy face, and saw Su Huaichen was about to kick the second room to stop him.
"Senior, two rooms will be enough."
"Ah, I looked at that one earlier. The bed is too small. It can't accommodate four grown men."
The room that was cleared at the beginning must be for Lin Zhinan to sleep in. If the four of them don’t occupy four rooms, then they should occupy at least two rooms!
"We'll have two people sleeping outside tonight, that's all."
"Why?"
Su Huaichen was confused.
"I just heard the announcement."
"I heard it."
"What recourse do you think they will use? And where?"
"You don't mean they're coming here!"
"Ninety percent probability."
Live broadcast room: Chu Huaiqin, have you really not read the script?
Su Huaichen quickly realized that if this was the case, he would have to sleep outside. In the middle of the night, who knew if someone would break into his sister's room?
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Several teams were brave enough to brave the downpour and drill through the forest. Everyone was soaked. The inexplicable crying sounded again. Someone was so overwhelmed by the weather and the ghostly howling cries that he broke down and burst into tears. These people were the camel team, and they cried so hard that the entire live broadcast room was filled with laughter.
A group of people were running out of breath in the rain, some fell in the mud, and some had pale lips. When compared with Chu Huaiqin and others who had finished cleaning and were sitting down to rest, the people in the live broadcast room sighed again: Is this how the protagonist team is treated?
Peacock Team, Monkey Team, and Goryeo fans: "The protagonist team has to go through hardships and difficulties, and they are just cannon fodder at best."
Chinese audience: Anyway, we are not the ones getting wet in the rain, as long as you are happy.
This attitude made the Three Kingdoms fans so angry that they couldn't swallow it or spit it out.
The six teams arrived at 2 pm. At that time, Chu Huaiqin and his friends were drinking sweet potato soup. When they looked up, they saw a group of people led by the Peacock Kingdom. The resentful look in their eyes made Chu Huaiqin frown.
It seems that it would be better if it is resolved.
