Chapter 138: Dirty Operation
Chapter 138
The eight guests were separated, and the live stream room was divided into eight different channels. Each guest had a follow-up PD, broadcasting their journey from all angles.
Viewers could choose the channel of the guest they were interested in, or switch back and forth. Except for Duan Mengyun and the new actor Yang Ze, the number of people in the other six’s livestream rooms was about the same. What surprised the program team was that the number of people in the two civilians' livestream rooms was on par with that of the celebrities. Such high popularity meant that the two tycoons had chosen right this time.
Zhong Ruanxing was standing at the intersection with a map given by the program team, studying it.
The irregular, circular-shaped island was marked in green, showing the area where guests could move around.
The east side where the island owner was located was marked in bright red, indicating it was absolutely prohibited.
Thoughtfully, the program team had marked the locations of the supply drops with small yellow circles on the map. After studying the route, Zhong Ruanxing headed towards the nearest airdrop.
Except for the island owner's daily activity area, the rest of the island was actually not fully developed yet. Upon entering the woods, one could clearly feel the primitive ecological environment here.
There were no man-made roads in the woods. As Zhong Ruanxing walked through it, it felt like traversing a primitive forest.
But she was also well prepared—long pants, long sleeves, hat, mask, ice yarn gloves that didn't affect movement. Except for a pair of eyes still exposed, her other skin was wrapped up tightly to prevent mosquito and insect bites.
She had also sprayed herself from head to toe with mosquito repellent, practically a mobile mosquito repeller. Wherever she passed, mosquitoes and insects retreated.
She also had a compass, so she easily found the first supply point. In the bushes was a yellow cooler with a box of fresh vegetables, the ice packs not yet melted, giving off a cool air.
To make it convenient for the guests to take the supplies, the program team had also placed tools for carrying supplies at each location. Zhong Ruanxing chose a cloth bag, put the vegetables and ice packs in it, then slung it over her shoulder and continued on.
Every five meters she would make a mark on the nearby tree trunks with the lipstick in her hand.
She didn't take a single wrong turn.
Viewers who had just jumped in from other guests' livestream rooms were shocked:
[So this is why she brought more than a dozen lipsticks when preparing her gear? I thought she was a beauty who loved to put on different shades every day.]
[I was too naive. I thought she brought so many lipsticks because she's a beauty who needs to apply different shades every day. I didn't expect she brought them to use as trail markers!]
[Makeup is considered basic equipment, not within the five designated items, so the program team didn't stop her at that time. They must be regretting it now, haha!]
[Program team: I didn't think she would use lipstick as supplies!]
[And they are all bright shades, perfect as markers. Mama will never worry about me getting lost again!]
[This is the right way to survive. Duan Mengyun has already been chased out three miles away by the mosquito swarm.]
...
Sure enough, the director team didn't expect her to be so crafty either. She brought so many lipsticks not to dress up beautifully to attract the male guests, but to use them as markers!
With the compass, map, and lipstick, Zhong Ruanxing's island exploration went very smoothly. While other guests got lost wandering around the complex terrain, she had already emptied five supply points.
No kidding, she now had supplies on her back, chest, left and right shoulders. She was practically a walking supply bag.
Seeing the footage sent back, Director Yan couldn't believe it and asked the staff next to him, "Isn't she bothered by the weight?"
To be able to move freely in the dense woods carrying so many supplies? They had set up thirty supply points on the island, but planned for each guest to find no more than three at most, because the weight of each supply point was not light. Three bags of supplies was already the maximum weight limit calculated that the guests could bear.
But Zhong Ruanxing was already carrying five bags!!!
She looked so slender, yet concealed such tremendous strength!
If Zhong Ruanxing knew the director team's thoughts, she would surely ridicule them for being naive.
Had she trained for at least two hours every day in vain? She had never pursued the beauty of frail and pale white since her debut. Her body didn't have an ounce of excess fat, all sturdy muscle, containing more vigorous strength than ordinary men in life.
Otherwise her action scenes wouldn't look so beautiful and crisp, because the explosive power of her muscles was too strong, only then could she present the beauty of strength!
Let alone five bags, if there were five more she could grit her teeth and shoulder them!
With the map, compass and lipstick, as long as she wanted, she could be the first to reach the safe house marked on the map, the base prepared in advance by the program team for them.
But after looking at the supplies scattered around the island, Zhong Ruanxing felt she could search a little more. So she turned and headed in another direction.
The audience had been completely convinced by her:
[I thought she would at least put down the five bags first before setting off again. I underestimated the beauty.]
[I feel Zhong Ruanxing could beat a cow to death with one punch, no kidding.]
[Her waist is thinner than mine, her legs thinner than mine, arms thinner than mine, but she's stronger than me? I don't get it!]
[Her arms look thin, but you can still see the bulging muscles when she flexes, even through the long sleeves! I'm in awe of this lady's figure!]
[This is what a truly healthy figure looks like! So girls, don't just pursue frail thinness, this looks so much better!]
[Wait! If Zhong Ruanxing goes in that direction, she might run into Miss Bai!]
[So the long awaited damsel rescue will end up with one beauty saving another?]
...
Bai Yinyue was a bit unlucky.
Less than an hour after landing on the island, she had sprained her foot.
The physique of an aristocratic young lady who spent 365 days of the year painting in her studio was really not great, not very suitable for this kind of outdoor survival hiking environment.
Although her father Bai put pressure on her mentally, her life was indeed that of a young lady who had never done any housework with her ten fingers. This kind of experience carrying supplies and exploring the woods was the first time in her life.
The first supply she found was a bag of rice, ten kilograms. For her, the large bag of rice was not easy to carry. Bai Yinyue selected a sling bag from the supply box and put the rice in, slinging it over her shoulder.
Then her body lost balance because of the bag of rice. She happened to encounter a steep slope concealed by thick grass. Stepping into empty air, she was brought down by the ten kilograms weight on her side.
Seeing the footage sent back then, the director team was shocked and was about to send medical staff to treat her. But after sitting on the ground for a while, Bai Yinyue crawled up again, cursing.
Her ankle was slightly red and swollen, her elbows a bit scraped, but it wasn't a big problem. She limped two steps and said to the camera, "Don't come help me, I'm fine."
Since the guest said so, the director team also let down their guard. But they still secretly sent medical staff to follow behind, to provide aid if necessary.
Although her sprain wasn't serious, it still affected her walking speed. Adding insult to injury, the second supply point she encountered was a bucket of oil.
Great, a ten kilogram bag of rice, a ten kilogram bucket of oil, both daily necessities, but the twenty kilogram weight was really too much for her.
The supplies would be taken away in the morning, and Bai Yinyue wasn't sure if she could find her way back next time, so she was reluctant to give up the supplies. She could only continue carrying the twenty kilograms, her already slow pace becoming even slower.
Her ankle was also worse than before due to the overload, and Bai Yinyue really couldn't persist. Sitting down on the ground, she said dejectedly, "Forget it, call the doctor to come help me."
The doctor had been following behind her all along. Hearing the director team's cue, he hurriedly quickened his steps towards her location.
Soon, the sound of shoes stepping on leaves came from the dense woods.
Bai Yinyue looked back dispiritedly, thinking it was the doctor. She didn't expect a familiar figure to emerge from the one-meter tall bushes.
Her dejection disappeared instantly, Bai Yinyue's eyes shone, "Ruanxing!"
Seeing her sitting on the ground clutching her ankle, Zhong Ruanxing was shocked for a moment, frowning as she walked over in two or three steps, "Injured?"
