Survival Game 2
Chapter 1784 Survival Game 2
Back inside, Liu Yan fell asleep immediately.
When Liu Yan woke up the next day, she remembered the impact of what had happened the day before.
Liu Yan wasn't worried about the murderer killing him. He only knew Liu Dong on the ship, had no grudges against anyone else, and had no money or power, so no one would kill him.
His only worry was whether the show would be canceled because of the murder.
The orphanage is waiting for them to take the money back.
He didn't expect to win the championship, but the show offered a prize of one million yuan for making it into the top ten. Although it wouldn't buy the land, it would be enough to rent a rural courtyard and relocate the orphanage there.
Liu Tong said, "Don't worry, the show won't be canceled."
Liu Yan: Are you sure?
Liu Tong: "The organizers of this program have invested so much. Putting aside everything else, just finding a suitable island must have taken a lot of manpower and resources. If the program is canceled, wouldn't all that initial investment go down the drain?"
Liu Yan: "That's true."
No longer worried, he took Liu Tong to the restaurant.
The contestants had all gotten up, but because of what happened in the middle of the night, many of them hadn't slept well, and they all had dark circles under their eyes and were yawning.
Liu Yan and Liu Liu looked quite well. The two went to the long table, took their favorite foods, and began to eat heartily.
The food served on the cruise ship was excellent; it tasted great and had a wide variety of options.
Perhaps thinking that the contestants would only be able to eat dry food and wild vegetables once they arrived on the island, they made sure everyone had a few good meals beforehand.
Liu Tong chose a fried dough stick, a bowl of soy milk, two steamed buns, and a tea egg. Liu Yan chose something similar.
There were several Western-style breakfasts on the long table, but neither of them had ever eaten them before—in this life, they didn't know what they tasted like, nor did they want to try them easily.
The two of them ate very quickly; there was no other way, it was a habit that every orphan had.
They finished their breakfast, while the rest of the people only ate half.
At that moment, someone suddenly screamed again.
Everyone looked over and saw a contestant clutching his own neck, falling from his chair to the ground, and soon becoming still.
The former police officer shouted, "Everyone else, don't move! Staff, go get the doctor!"
One staff member left.
The former policeman stepped forward, examined the person on the ground, sighed, and shook his head: "Dead."
The forensic expert stepped forward and said, "Leave it to me."
Forensic expert: "Blue lips indicate death by poisoning. A bitter almond smell in the mouth indicates cyanide poisoning..."
All the contestants felt a churning in their stomachs and couldn't help but vomit.
The food has been poisoned!
Did they also eat poisonous food?
You need to vomit it out quickly.
One contestant spoke up: "If it were poisonous, we would have been poisoned long ago. It should only be this person's food that is poisonous."
This person is named Cheng Xu, and he is a popular young actor in the entertainment industry.
However, he was previously exposed for drug use and was boycotted by many people, which caused his popularity to decline and made it impossible for him to continue in the entertainment industry. He never expected to participate in this program.
Is she trying to regain popularity through the show?
His calm demeanor was a complete departure from his previous image.
Liu Tong couldn't help but glance at Cheng Xu again.
Cheng Xu didn't notice Liu Dong's gaze, since many people were watching him.
The contestants recognized Cheng Xu, and because of the rumors circulating online, they had a very bad impression of him.
One contestant scoffed, "You think you can just say there isn't any? What if someone listens to you and keeps eating, and then gets poisoned? Are you going to pay for their life?"
Cheng Xu: "I'm not sure if the food on the long table is poisonous, but I'm sure the food you ate half of wasn't poisonous, otherwise you'd be in the same situation as this person on the ground right now."
Everyone: "..."
Everyone understood that Cheng Xu was right, but looking at the corpse on the ground and then at the food, no one had any appetite anymore. The staff moved the body away, and everyone left the restaurant.
They gathered in a group, talking about what happened last night and this morning, their faces full of fear.
If the cruise ship hadn't been sailing at sea, they would have wanted to leave immediately.
Liu Yan returned to her room with Liu Qiu, looking worried. She sighed, "I don't even dare to eat the food provided on the ship. There are still six days left. Are we going to starve forever?"
Liu Yan: "How about we cook for ourselves?"
Every child from their orphanage knows how to cook.
That's a good idea, but—
Liu Tong leaned close to Liu Yan's ear and whispered a few words.
Liu Yan blinked: "Really?"
Liu Tong nodded: "I saw it, that person moved their hand!"
Liu Yan laughed and said, "Oh, I see! Then I'm relieved."
When it was time for dinner, the two went to the dining room and found that there was no food on the long table.
In response to their questions, the staff explained: "Everyone is worried that the food might be poisoned again, so they don't want to eat ready-made food. Therefore, the kitchen has stopped cooking and instead provided instant noodles. You can take a few packs home and make them yourself."
Liu Yan and Liu Yan: "..."
The two of them each took a few packets of instant noodles.
Liu Yan: "Ah Qiu, let's go to the kitchen."
Liu Tong: "Okay!"
With so many good ingredients in the kitchen, only a fool would eat instant noodles.
The two of them went to the kitchen and found that they weren't the only ones; quite a few other contestants had also decided to cook for themselves.
Liu Dong saw Cheng Xu and was surprised; this person could cook.
Cheng Xu greeted the two of them: "Hello. I don't need to introduce myself, right? What are your names?"
Liu Yan and Liu Dong gave their names.
Liu Yan: "You can cook?"
Cheng Xu: "Yes, I can. I live alone and I don't know how to cook. Wouldn't I starve to death?"
Liu Yan: Don't celebrities all have assistants?
Cheng Xu gave a mocking smile: "I've been abandoned by the company, where would I get an assistant?"
Liu Yan: "You really did take drugs? You don't look like it."
He had seen drug addicts before; they were skinny as sticks and looked terrible. But Liu Yan had a rosy complexion and muscular arms, and didn't look like a drug addict at all.
Cheng Xu chuckled: "Capital says I've taken drugs."
Liu Yan indicated that she understood.
Although he is still young, he started working and navigating society after junior high school. He has seen a lot and knows many things very well.
Needless to say, Liu Dong is another one.
This is an old cucumber.
The other players, seeing that Liu Tong and the other person were actually chatting with Cheng Xu, cursed them in their hearts for being scheming and trying to use Cheng Xu's status as a minor celebrity to gain popularity, while also despising their choice.
Cheng Xu's reputation online is ruined. Aren't you afraid of being boycotted by the audience if you're with him?
Ignoring everyone else, Cheng Xu applied to join Liu Dong and Liu Yan's team to cook and eat with them.
Cheng Xu chuckled: "Well, although I can cook, my skills are just so-so; I can only cook the rice until it's cooked through..."
