Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Some People...
Just then, Gu Zhao noticed two drones tucked away in a corner of the helicopter.
She reached out, took one of the drones, and gave it a shake.
"Brother, do you think the director sent these to get back at us?"
Gu Xulin picked up the other drone with a smirk. "Director Guo~"
"Aren’t you going to explain?" His eyes were full of menace.
The director, who had been watching them, flinched. He grabbed a staff member, pushed him forward, and then ran off himself.
"Where’d he go?! If you don’t start talking, I’m gonna have Gu Zhao hijack the helicopter!"
The staff member wiped his sweat, forced to take the heat. "Hello, esteemed guests. Please don’t panic. Due to special circumstances, this episode of the show will be starting early."
"Also, please don’t worry about your other commitments. Director Guo has already spoken with all your agents and rescheduled everything. Big partners and little partners, please enjoy yourselves to the fullest!"
He hung up immediately after he finished, afraid that if he said one more word, the guests would crawl through the internet to beat him up.
And the guests really did want to beat someone up.
’So our agents sold us out?’
[HAHAHAHAHAHA, this is so shameless, just dumping the guests on a deserted island.]
[Director Guo: Just borrowing them. The agents: Take them.]
[The guests: So the love is gone, is that it?]
[So how are they going to get down?]
So how were they going to get down?
Gu Xulin suddenly had a bad feeling. He looked at the pilot and saw him guiltily opening the helicopter door.
"Um... the director said you have to figure out a way to get over there yourselves."
Gu Xulin laughed in anger. "How are we supposed to figure it out! Are we going to fly there or swim there?!"
The pilot silently took out a stack of life jackets and handed them over.
The guests: ...
...
"AHHHHHHH! SPLOOSH, GLUG GLUG GLUG... Brother... GLUG."
"AWOO!! SPLASH!"
One by one, they jumped from the helicopter and plunged into the sea.
"GLUG GLUG... Brother, I think I’m full from all the glugging..." Zhong Mingrui’s life jacket slowly started to work, bringing him to the surface.
He floated listlessly.
Next to him was Song Yi, who was also glugging away.
After Song Zhe surfaced, he worried Song Yi might sink, so he quickly pulled his little brother up.
In an instant, several miserable guests were left floating on the sea.
And the helicopter flew away without even a glance back!!!
It didn’t leave them a single thing!!
Fortunately, the spot where they had landed in the water wasn’t far from the beach, and they all managed to swim ashore with some effort.
The whole group collapsed onto the sand.
"It’s getting dark..." Jiang Yifeng said weakly, gazing at the sky.
"The temperature drops quite a bit after sunset... If we stay soaked like this, we might all be goners by tomorrow."
Gu Zhao looked utterly dejected. "In that case, why don’t we dig our own graves? Better to be prepared."
Gu Xulin: "I call dibs on that patch over there that still has some sun."
As they were joking around, Gu Jiao suddenly spoke up.
"There’s another helicopter!"
"Is it here to take us home?!"
Gu Jiao immediately stood up and started waving. She wanted to go home and eat spicy sticks!!
The others sat up and looked at the helicopter. It had the show’s logo on it; it was definitely one of the production team’s.
But aside from Gu Jiao, everyone else’s reaction was lukewarm.
’The production team would never do anything decent.’
Their only hope now was that the helicopter was here to deliver some supplies. Their backpacks had been confiscated when they boarded, and they had assumed the crew was just taking them to be sanitized.
Now it seemed it was a confiscation! Even the little wolf Bubai who had come, and the farewell gifts from the animals, were all gone!!
Now, apart from the soaking wet clothes on their backs, they had nothing.
And the clothes were the same thermal, windproof ones from the snowy mountain.
The helicopter flew over to the same area as before.
The helicopter door opened, and one tall and one short figure appeared in their line of sight.
The two figures jumped right out.
"Whoa, they’re jumping from that high up??" Song Zhe exclaimed in shock.
Zhong Siqi also frowned. ’A bad feeling. They’re not here to deliver supplies.’
While in mid-air, a huge object appeared behind the two figures.
A parachute!!!
The moment Gu Xulin and the others saw the parachute, they leaped to their feet. "That damn director!"
"Baldy Guo! I curse you to be bald in your next life too!!!"
"How come they get parachutes!!! Then what was our jump into the sea for?! Because we’re good at drinking seawater?"
Director Guo chose not to watch. ’If I don’t see it, I won’t know they’re cursing me!’
The live stream chat exploded in shock upon seeing the two newcomers.
[AHHHH, it’s actually Yu Weitao and his brother Yu Zhenghao!! They’re the famous survivalist brothers from Hualahuala!!]
[Never heard of them. Someone fill me in.]
[Yu Weitao is thirty and his little brother Yu Zhenghao is eleven! They love going to all sorts of undeveloped places to survive! The kind who don’t bring any supplies!]
[Eleven years old? Doesn’t he go to school?]
[At his young age, he and his brother are already bloggers with tens of millions of followers. With that kind of traffic, who needs school?]
[I’ve seen their videos before. The little brother is super hands-on and more capable than a lot of adults. I guess that’s a kind of growth too!]
[I don’t get it, but the brothers are willing, and their parents support them. What can we outsiders say? Let’s just enjoy the show.]
While the netizens were discussing, the two landed perfectly.
The pair stylishly fixed their hair, and Yu Weitao walked up to the group with a smile.
"Hello, everyone! I’m Yu Weitao!"
Yu Zhenghao looked at them disdainfully. "Yu Zhenghao."
Yu Weitao continued with a smile, "So, you all probably haven’t heard of us. My brother and I are survival bloggers over on Hualahuala. Our results aren’t that great, just a few tens of millions of followers. It’s a great honor to be invited to this show. My brother and I will use our survival knowledge and practical skills to lead everyone to survive safely for seven days!"
Yu Weitao’s lips curled up first, but his gaze paused for half a second as it swept past Gu Zhao before he slowly retracted it. "To be frank, I hope no one here ends up being the weak link and dragging everyone down."
He paused, tapping his fingers lightly on his knee. "I’ve also watched a few clips from this show and saw that some of the ’little partners’ like to get close to animals. I’m not trying to be a wet blanket, but wild animals are rarely that tame. If someone’s just trying to get some views by pulling flashy, dangerous stunts, it’ll be too late for tears when something goes wrong. Everyone should be more careful and keep an eye on the people around you. Don’t wait until it’s too late to feel regret."
After hearing this, Yu Zhenghao replied to his brother, his eyes full of contempt, "I’ve seen plenty of people like that. In the end, not even their bones were left."
Gu Xulin: ???
Gu Zhao: ??
’Some people? Me?’
Gu Jiao put her hands on her hips and faced them. "You’re so rude! Our Big King has real skills! She’s not the kind of person you’re talking about! Apologize to our Big King!"
Jiang Yuchen frowned. "Mister, you should have some evidence before you speak. You can’t just make assumptions based on a few clips."
"So thick-skinned!" Zhong Mingrui said angrily. ’Why do people always come along and question Big King!’
’Does he think he’s right just because he saw a few clips?’
Gu Zhao scratched her head. ’Why does my villain constitution attract so many idiots? Shouldn’t this be the kind of treatment reserved for the female lead?’
’Oh, right. Is the female lead still the female lead? I kind of miss her.’
Gu Zhao looked at the new guests’ disdainful expressions. "Alright then, you’re so capable. You can lead us."
’If I can get away with not doing anything, I certainly will. If some people want to act like mules, let them.’
Gu Jiao and the others felt wronged, but since Big King had spoken, they just gave a cold snort and ignored the two newcomers.
Seeing this, Gu Zhao comforted them, "Don’t be mad. We have to give the newcomers a chance to show off."
Everyone was still angry, but then Gu Zhao whispered something in their ears, and they all instantly broke into smiles.
The two Yu brothers were also feeling quite smug. ’A little kid getting on the trending charts just by acting? Does she deserve it?!’
’Only skilled people like us deserve it!’
"Thank you all for your cooperation. Our first step is to find a suitable location to build a shelter."
"You guys... go gather some thick branches. Don’t go too far."
"Zhenghao and I will go scout for a suitable terrain to build on." After saying that, Yu Weitao and Yu Zhenghao headed into the woods in front of them.
The guests: ?!
