The thunder was deafening, making one's heart palpitate.
Sheng Xi reached out and forcibly pulled Qin Zhao into her arms!
Qin Zhao's face was perfectly buried in Sheng Xi's chest.
The comfortable feeling made her give up the idea of kicking Sheng Xi out of bed.
She only said sullenly, "Thank you, I'm not afraid of thunder."
Sheng Xi said, "I'm scared."
As she said that, she even started shaking accordingly!
Qin Zhao: "..."
What to do, wanted to kick her again!
The thunder lasted for more than ten minutes before it stopped.
Soon after, it started to rain.
The rain was so heavy, it was like the sky had ruptured.
The curtain of rain was like a waterfall, obscuring the view.
Sheng Xi said, "At this rate, this place may be flooded tomorrow."
Qin Zhao closed her eyes, "Then let's hurry up and sleep, if this place gets flooded, there won't be a ready-made cabin for us to live in."
"Well, good night."
The next day, when the two came out of the cabin, there was indeed a thick layer of water outside!
The rain had eased off a bit, but showed no signs of stopping.
The two barely got by with the leftover dried meat they had.
On the fourth day, the crew arrived in front of the cabin in a speedboat.
When Qin Zhao and Sheng Xi heard the sound, they opened the door and came out to see.
Xu Lianggong held an umbrella and stood on the speedboat, "Miss Qin, Miss Sheng, this place will be flooded soon, you can't stay here.
The crew has decided to take you to a place with higher ground.
Please take your important belongings with you, a boat will come to pick you up later."
The two nodded and went back into the house to pack.
Xu Lianggong went on to inform the others.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone boarded the speedboat.
The speedboat sailed to the riverbank where a yacht that could hold about fifty people was docked.
A few people stepped onto the yacht one after another and entered the lounge on the second floor.
A middle-aged bearded man in a plaid shirt walked over to Xu Lianggong and said, "Director, three of our monitors went into the water and can no longer be used.
Some basic supplies and food were also flooded."
Xu Lianggong pondered for a moment and said, "I see, I will contact the person in charge of the show and explain the situation."
Just as the bearded man was about to leave, he suddenly fixed his eyes on Sheng Xi!
He stared at Sheng Xi for half a minute without her noticing his gaze as she was looking elsewhere.
Qin Zhao turned her head and found the bearded man's expression a bit strange. She raised her hand to block his line of sight.
"What are you looking at her for?" Qin Zhao asked.
Upon hearing this, the bearded man looked towards Qin Zhao, smiling to reveal a mouth full of black and yellow teeth stained by smoking, "I'm her fan. I accidentally got lost in her beauty."
Hearing their conversation, Sheng Xi turned her head.
The bearded man then said to Sheng Xi, "I'm your fan. Can I take a photo with you?"
For some reason, Sheng Xi always felt uncomfortable under this man's gaze.
But still nodded, "Okay."
The bearded man took out his phone and said to Qin Zhao, "Please help us take a photo."
Qin Zhao frowned slightly as she took the phone.
She saw that the wallpaper on the man's phone was a photo of a half-naked girl lying on a bed!
Her frown deepened even more.
But her expression quickly returned to being expressionless. She opened the camera towards Sheng Xi and the bearded man.
The bearded man deliberately leaned towards Sheng Xi. Sheng Xi imperceptibly dodged, but was still touched on the shoulder by him.
Qin Zhao quickly pressed the shutter button, then walked over to squeeze the bearded man away, "It's done, you can go now."
The bearded man said with a smile, "Thank you!"
Then he left with the phone.
Qin Zhao went to the bathroom and took out a clean handkerchief. She wiped Sheng Xi's shoulder over and over again.
Sheng Xi asked, "What are you doing?"
Qin Zhao replied, "Disinfecting, your shoulder was touched by filth."
Sheng Xi snatched the handkerchief and wiped it back and forth on Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao was puzzled, "What are you doing now?"
"I'm also disinfecting. You just touched something dirty."
Qin Zhao thought that it seemed Sheng Xi had also noticed something wrong with that man!
Their disinfecting actions were caught by An Hongyu's eyes.
The hatred in his eyes was almost tangible.
Wasn't Sheng Xi the woman he fancied? What right did Qin Zhao have to get ahead later?
He was both jealous and resentful, and vowed to snatch Sheng Xi away!
Clap, clap!
Xu Lianggong clapped his hands. After all four contestants looked over, he spoke, "Our boat will sail upstream.
It is expected that the rain will stop tomorrow. Please be prepared to continue living in the wilderness, honored guests."
Everyone responded, indicating no objection.
They spent a day and a night on the yacht.
As Xu Lianggong said, it really stopped raining the next day.
The yacht was docked on a relatively flat stretch of riverbank.
After disembarking from the yacht, Qin Zhao found an open area with good visibility and set up a tent.
With the tent, they didn't need to build a shelter, saving themselves a lot of trouble.
There were only 16 days left of the 50-day wilderness survival challenge.
Qin Zhao wasn't worried about whether she would be able to make it through smoothly. She was more concerned with how to overtake Sheng Xi's number of live viewers in the remaining half month.
From the looks of it, as long as Sheng Xi didn't make mistakes, she would definitely be able to maintain her popularity to the end.
No matter how hard Qin Zhao tried, she could barely keep up.
Should she really use that tactic?
If the secret of Sheng Xi's childhood and their relationship was exposed, what direction would things head towards?
Qin Zhao was both anxious and looking forward to it.
"502, what is the current number of viewers in everyone's live streams?"
502 answered, "Sheng Xi 12 million, host's livestream 8.9 million.
An Hongyu 5.3 million, Yu Xiao 1.4 million."
502 paused, then added, "An Hongyu's popularity has grown particularly fast!
During the few minutes we were talking, the viewer count in his livestream has reached 6 million!
While the host's only increased by 20 thousand."
Qin Zhao guessed that An Hongyu must have done something to attract the audience.
She walked out of the tent and saw An Hongyu carrying a log and climbing up a tree with thick trunk.
And on the branches, there was already a cuboid frame connected by mortise and tenon joints.
Qin Zhao immediately realized that he was trying to build a log house!
Audiences watch survival shows like Wild Seeking Life because they want to see what contestants can build for shelter, find food, defend against wildlife, etc. in the wild.
By directly using a tent, Qin Zhao solved the shelter issue easily, although the method was viable.
Besides, the tent was rightfully won by her, so she might as well use it.
Viewers had no objections to this, but compared to building a small wooden house on one's own, Qin Zhao's approach seemed boring.
So new viewers tended to prefer looking at someone actively building a challenging high wooden house.
Not only that, his wooden house was also high in difficulty, which made viewers even more expectant.
Qin Zhao looked around, at the tools on hand, and thought about what she could do to attract audiences.
Suddenly, her mind went back to those minutes from a few days ago when she tippy-toed to kiss Sheng Xi!
So she thought that maybe a sculpture of her and Sheng Xi could be made!
For some reason, humans just love seeing things related to love.
Even though there was no love between her and Sheng Xi, that didn't stop her from creating some false deep emotional illusions!
The thunder was deafening, making one's heart palpitate.
Sheng Xi reached out and forcibly pulled Qin Zhao into her arms!
Qin Zhao's face was perfectly buried in Sheng Xi's chest.
The comfortable feeling made her give up the idea of kicking Sheng Xi out of bed.
