Chapter 1786
Survival Game 4
The next morning, Liu Dong was the first to get up and went to the kitchen to cook congee with preserved egg and lean pork, and stir-fried a large plate of rice noodles.
Others couldn't get up that early, so most people ate bread and milk, and some even ate instant noodles.
The chubby boy and Cheng Xu were extremely satisfied with their meal.
The chubby boy is carefree; although he's always a little uneasy, he eats well, sleeps well, and is in good spirits.
His view was: if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. And the Liu brothers were the tall ones in his eyes.
Something else happened right after we finished eating.
One contestant discovered that her roommate was missing.
Her roommate didn't go back to the room to rest last night. This morning, the contestant sensed something was wrong and went to the staff to report the situation.
After searching for a while, the staff found a shoe on the side of the ship, which was confirmed to be the shoe of the missing person.
Staff concluded that the missing athlete had fallen into the sea.
It's uncertain whether he accidentally fell into the sea or was pushed in.
But the contestants all believed that she was pushed off.
Panic spread among the contestants, and several of them couldn't withstand the pressure and showed signs of breaking down.
"I'm quitting! I'm quitting this show!" a contestant shouted. It was the same contestant whose roommate had gone missing.
A staff member walked up to her and asked, "Are you sure you want to withdraw?"
"I want to quit."
This contestant participated in the show in order to enter the entertainment industry.
She was selected not because of her abilities, but because she bribed someone in charge of the audition process.
She wasn't very mentally strong, and she completely broke down when faced with the threat of death.
Staff member: "Please follow me!"
The female athlete left with the staff.
In the following days, she was surrounded by staff for protection, looking safe and comfortable.
In the remaining four days, one person will go missing or die each day.
The murderer has never been caught.
Many players broke down!
Seeing that the first contestant to withdraw was well protected by staff, several other contestants also chose to withdraw.
Liu Tong: "Tsk tsk."
Liu Yan: "A bunch of idiots, do they really think we're in a TV drama?"
Cheng Xu's eyes flickered, and he asked, "What do you mean?"
The cruise ship will arrive at the island tomorrow, so Liu Yan stopped trying to cover it up for the production team and told the two of them, "These deaths and disappearances are all fake."
Cheng Xu and the chubby boy: "Huh?"
Cheng Xu reacted quickly: "Was it all arranged by the production team? To eliminate a group of people first?"
Liu Yan nodded: "That should be the case."
The chubby boy said, "Is it all fake? But my intuition tells me that there is real danger."
Liu Dong: "Perhaps the danger comes from the island. After all, it's an undeveloped island."
Cheng Xu: "The production team must have removed any deadly dangers before the contestants arrived on the island, right?"
Liu Tong: "These isolated islands overseas must have hidden dangers. For example, what if a storm or tsunami suddenly occurs at sea during the competition? The islands could be submerged, right?"
other people:"……"
Liu Yan: "Ah Qiu, thankfully you don't have the 'jinx' attribute."
If a tsunami really happens, everyone will be doomed.
Even if he has now cultivated true qi and become a martial arts master like in the novel, he still cannot escape the face of natural disasters!
The cruise ship arrived at the island early the next morning.
The staff gathered the athletes on the deck.
The show's director appeared before everyone.
The director smiled and said, "Congratulations everyone, you have passed the first round of this competition."
All the contestants: "Huh?" Then they saw the former police officer contestant and the forensic doctor contestant walk over to the staff and stand in the staff's line.
Afterwards, the dead on the ship "came back to life" and stood on the side of the staff.
The contestants immediately understood.
They've been tricked.
The murders and disappearances were all arranged by the production team.
The fear and anxiety I've felt these past few days are exactly the effect the production team wanted.
Did they all get broadcast live?
The director smiled: Yes!
All the contestants: "..."
The contestants recalled whether they had behaved particularly poorly during these days.
Fortunately, they performed better than those who broke down and threatened to quit the show.
Some of them felt a sense of regret.
How can it be fake?
Why isn't it true?
Once everyone had calmed down, the director began to announce the competition rules.
After that, he ordered his staff to remove all the contestants from the boat.
The cruise ship set sail, carrying the crew and director away from the island.
They would stand ten nautical miles from the island to watch the crowd's performance until the game ended.
If any player is injured during the competition, they will rush over to provide medical assistance and remove any player who voluntarily withdraws from the island.
The chubby boy made up his mind to follow Liu Tong and Liu Yan.
His intuition reminded him that he would be safe only by staying with these two people.
Cheng Xu felt it would be better to travel with people he knew, so he followed along.
The four of them randomly chose a direction and walked there.
The production team provided each person with a dagger, a bundle of rope, a lighter, and some food, but not enough to last them a month.
To avoid going hungry, the contestants had to find ways to obtain food.
There are several banana trees on this small island, and they are already bearing fruit.
But to pick fruit, you have to climb trees. How many of the contestants can climb trees?
You can collect seashells and crabs on the beach, and cooking them will fill your stomach.
The island has been thoroughly cleared by the production team; there are no large wild animals, and while there might be venomous snakes, their numbers are small. Furthermore, there are antidotes on the boat, and the production team's medical crew can arrive immediately to rescue anyone.
Unlike the chubby boy, the contestants were not aware of the dangers; they all participated in the program with a relaxed attitude.
They thought it was just a month of hardship, and they would get through it.
If you manage to get into the top ten, you could win a prize of over a million.
Even if they don't make it into the top ten, if they perform well, they can still get a chance to enter the entertainment industry.
Before participating in the competition, these contestants had watched similar programs and had also learned some wilderness survival skills.
Therefore, upon arriving on the island, no one panicked; instead, they followed their learned experience and first looked for a place to stay for the night.
The island does have caves, but there are too few of them; they were all taken by the first people to find them.
Others had to build their own sheds.
Some athletes didn't know how to pitch a tent, so they had to sleep outdoors.
Liu Dong asked the chubby boy and Cheng Xu, "Aren't you afraid of heights?"
The two shook their heads.
Liu Dong asked again, "Can you climb trees?"
The two nodded.
Liu Tong: "Then let's live in the tree."
The chubby boy and Cheng Xu: "Huh?"
Cheng Xu: "You're not thinking of building a treehouse in a tree like the elves, are you?" (End of Chapter)
