Dire Waters (6): Program

Translated by Jev Kaez

Edited by Jev Kaez

As the time was getting late, more and more people poured into the hotel, and even the corridor could not be squeezed in. Under the impetuousness of people’s hearts, finally someone couldn’t help but start targeting the door of the room.

The door to the hotel room was solid, but that was when the intruder was too embarrassed to wreak havoc.

When the first person started to wreck the hotel room door, perseveringly chopped off half of the room door with a fire axe and finally entered the room, the others couldn’t help but follow suit. Even though the hotel corridors were carpeted, they were far from soft beds.

All of a sudden, the doors of the hotel rooms were destroyed one after another, and the ownership of some high-end rooms also sparked fierce competition.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian sitting on the roof.

The view from the roof of the hotel was very good, and they could have a panoramic view of the existing area of ​​Zhuoyuan City, the two were ready to stay on the roof.

Although they hadn’t figured out the situation yet, it was not good to set up the tent directly, but the two did not treat themselves badly. They moved two long sofas from the hotel corridor early, placed them opposite each other, and made a simple bed. Ready to rest here.

At nine o’clock in the evening, the last group of drowning people finally climbed ashore with their hands and feet after struggling to row the entire river.

They were finally able to leave the water. They were so exhausted that they didn’t even have the strength to continue climbing, so they went straight down and lay on the ramp, their eyes closed, and fell asleep.

There were only half of the ramps left in the entire Zhuoyuan City, and there were not many buildings on both sides. The hotels and various shops had long been scrambled for, and the drowning people who climbed ashore later had nowhere to go, so they could only go directly to the road and lie down.

The people who climbed ashore later struggled in the water for many hours. They were so tired that they didn’t want to move their fingers, and they didn’t bother to toss any more. They simply lay down on the ground and rested, so they lay on the sloping ramp with many people.

Suddenly, the sky was bright, the tourists lying on the road and Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian on the roof were stimulated by the bright light to subconsciously open their eyes, and saw a huge light curtain appeared above the sky, and inside the light curtain was actually playing a variety show.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian adjusted their direction and didn’t get up, they just lay down and watched.

The promotional video of the program flashed quickly, and then the name of the program appeared, which was “The Highlights of Zhuoyuan City Tourism Festival”.

Cheng Huaiqian held Xia Ruize’s hand tightly, and had a bad premonition in his heart. This trick was really unexpected.

Next, along with the host’s gag, the huge light curtain in the sky began to play the picture of the sudden water flow in the morning rushing all the tourists on the entire ramp into the water.

It was actually quite comical to see that morning’s accident from the perspective of a condescending bystander. If they weren’t one of the people who were washed away, they might be laughing with the host at this time.

After all, under the control of inexplicable reasons, the drowning people involved in the water didn´t have any casualties except for the embarrassment.

If there were no casualties, there was no worry, and naturally there was only schadenfreude when others made a fool of themselves. It could be seen from the laughter of the dubbing that the panicked expression of the drowning people and the struggle with their teeth and claws are very pleasing to the audience.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian had already prepared in their hearts before, so they could calmly look at the picture in the light curtain and carefully search for other details that they hadn’t discovered because they were in it.

But many tourists lying on the road couldn’t take it anymore, and they started clamoring.

They had encountered a strange disaster and were in urgent need of rescue. Who would have thought that this would turn out to be a joy in the eyes of others?

Looking at the panic-stricken self in the picture, listening to the host’s ridicule and dubbing laughter, many tourists were furious.

The noise on the street attracted the attention of tourists who were resting indoors. More and more tourists noticed the light curtain in the sky, ran to the road, found a place to lie down, and watched the giant screen show in the sky.

The picture had turned to a wooden paddle and a plank drifting down the water. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian got the paddle and plank first, so they got a few close-up pictures, which made them uncomfortable and the bad premonition in their hearts was getting stronger.

Sure enough, there were more and more pictures of the two after that.

Because they were the first group to paddle the board near the starting line, they touched the starting line and triggered the firework prompting task, which was clearly seen by all the tourists.

Later, although the camera also focused on other tourists who performed well or were in miserable state, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian found the low-level energy crystal hidden in the forest and meadow, arrived at the island at the end of the waterway first, drew four prizes in a row, and returned to the ramp first. All the pictures were not missed and were displayed in front of all tourists in a close-up manner.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian gradually calmed down from the awkwardness in their hearts at the beginning. Anyway, the exposure was a foregone conclusion, and they were more concerned about other information that they had not noticed before.

For example, Xia Ruize paid attention to the surrounding situation all the way, and only got five low-level energy crystals, but this did not mean that he took all the energy crystals. On the contrary, there were more than ten groups of tourists rowing boats that obtained energy crystals in the process.

Xia Ruize found that those energy crystals appeared one after another. On several occasions, the area he had already explored was discovered by others after he left.

In addition, the host’s jokes from time to time also explained a lot of doubts to Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian to another extent.

The two of them could calmly watch this program, which was interesting because of editing and commentary, but other tourists may not necessarily.

Many tourists didn’t know until after watching the show that there was a total of 2,000 tourists involved in the water, among all of them, not a single was a Zhuoyuan local! It turned out that there were low-level energy crystals hidden on the banks on both sides of the waterway! It turned out that the top ten tourist that reached the end of the waterway could get a chance to draw a lottery!

A lot of unexpected shocks made many tourists clearly remember the faces of Xia Ruize and others after the two-hour show ended.

“Looks like we’re going to experience the troubles of celebrities.”

After the show ended, the huge light curtain in the sky disappeared as suddenly as it appeared. Xia Ruize looked at the re-lit stars and laughed helplessly.

It seemed that no one was not interested in the rewards they got, but they didn’t know if they would face a situation of scramble tomorrow.

The corners of Cheng Huaiqian’s mouth twitched, and he said indifferently, “Then fight, maybe we will win if only the two of us are left.”

Cheng Huaiqian was in a relaxed mood. During the two-hour program, he noticed that the physical fitness of tourists varied greatly. In his opinion, the strength of tourists was distributed in a pattern of 2, 5, and 3.

That is to say, 20% of the 2,000 tourists had strong physical fitness and basically completed the task within five hours. 50% of the tourists were of average physical fitness, they could complete the task within eight hours.

30% percent of the tourists had poor physical fitness, and it took them ten to twelve hours to complete the task.

It was not ruled out that some people hid their clumsiness or some scenes were not shown due to the short program time, but Cheng Huaiqian believed that the real situation was not much different from the results of his statistics.

The two of them seemed to sleep with their eyes closed, but in fact, they were discussing through heart net those tourists with strength and characteristics that they discovered, after all, they were likely to become competitors in the future.

The tourists on the ramp below were very noisy. The tourists who were surprised by the show could not sleep. They kept talking until they saw a boat with flashing lights slowly swimming down from the top of the ramp.

That’s right, a boat “swam” over the road.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who heard the abnormal noise, were lying on the edge of the railing and saw the boat passing slowly below. The dazzling boat, decorated with colorful lights, was about eight meters long, three meters wide, and ten meters high.

There were no wheels on the bottom of the boat, but it drove smoothly on the road, as if it were on black calm water.

Surprised tourists ducked to both sides until the shiny boat stopped in the middle of the ramp, and a gate opened silently on the side of the boat, and there was no other movement since then.

Just as the surprised tourists looked carefully around the boat, Da Hu and Xiao Hu suddenly walked out of the hotel door, walked towards the shiny boat, and then walked into the black gate safely under the surprised eyes of everyone.

Some tourists wanted to follow their example and tried to enter the boat, but they were blocked by invisible obstacles and couldn’t get close to the gate at all.

Not long after, two more people squeezed out of the crowd and walked into the door of the hull.

“They were the ones who got the ‘Treasure Ship Rest Ticket’.”

Xia Ruize suddenly realized that in the show he just watched, two out of the top ten groups had drawn the inexplicable “Treasure Ship Rest Ticket”, which originally was to be used here.

“Yes, tomorrow you can ask the two who got the ticket how it felt resting.”

Cheng Huaiqian nodded, satisfied that the people who entered the treasure ship had someone they could talk to, and maybe they could learn the inside story of the so-called “treasure ship”.

After a long time, they saw that no one else could get close to the gate of the treasure ship, so the tourists watching the fun gradually dispersed. They lay down and rested in a place far away from the treasure ship. There was no way, the lights on the treasure ship were too bright to rest.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian also lay back and continued to chat. After chatting and chatting, the two fell asleep.

The next day, when the sky brightened, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who were lying on the spliced ​​sofa, gradually woke up.

The two people who hugged tightly still felt the cold, and when they got up and moved around on the roof a few times, they discovered the reason. Looking down from the roof, they saw ice floes floating on the water below the ramp. Beyond the starting line, it was no longer the scene of forest meadows, but the appearance of glaciers.

The cold air from the iceberg not only woke up all the tourists who were lying on the lower part of the ramp and then moved to the top of the ramp, even Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who were on the top of the five-story building, could notice the difference, which was enough to see its power.

The two sat on the roof watching the movement below, and took out a box of lunch to share.

The delicious and large box lunch made the two of them very satisfied. After eating, they felt warm all over, and they were much less affected by the glacier.

It didn’t take long for more and more tourists to wake up from the cold. Even tourists hiding at the top of the ramp farthest from the water, or tourists hiding in hotel rooms, were shivering and from the cold and had to wake up.
