Survive in the Wilderness with Celebrities

Chapter 18 Popularity Rises Again

"Yifei, have you received the announcement?" Li Zhien shrank her neck and held An Yifei, while her eyes wandered around, as if she felt that poisonous scorpions might appear around her at any time.

"Yes, I got it. This should be an announcement." An Yifei raised her eyebrows and also felt that the surroundings were full of crisis.

"Then what should we do? If we encounter a poisonous scorpion, we will be stung, right?" Li Zhien's original mentality was still relatively good. She thought that this show would not be dangerous. She just came here to eat and drink, and make some money and popularity.

As a result, the program team now told them that there were poisonous scorpions on the island and asked them to be careful around them to avoid being stung by them.

Is being careful useful?
If there are poisonous scorpions, then there must be poisonous snakes too, right?

She couldn't help but think of what Meng Chao said in the morning about being careful of snakes, and suddenly felt that there was no way to record this show.

When she was recording a program on Peninsula in the past, there were a large number of staff around her. It was a variety show.

Now this is completely a reality show. Apart from the people playing with the ball, there is no staff member, only the players in the same group.

Team members are also artists who need protection from others. We can’t always expect our teammates to protect us, right?

"Isn't the program crew afraid that someone will give up the challenge after hearing this news?" An Yifei still couldn't believe it.

She felt that such news would be detrimental to the recording of the program and would cause panic.

But why did the program team make such an announcement?
To create panic?

"Give up the challenge?" Li Zhien looked up at An Yifei, a hint of hesitation flashed behind her eyes.

Then she shook her head decisively.

In the temporary camp, Meng Chao and Cai Fankundun also heard the announcement.

"Did you hear that?" Cai Fankun jumped up immediately, not daring to sit on the ground covered with branches anymore.

Because he was afraid that there were poisonous scorpions inside.

"What is the production team doing? Why didn't they tell us there were poisonous scorpions on the island before we landed?"

"It's too dangerous. The production team has no bottom line. What if we get stung by a scorpion? What if our lives are in danger?"

"Who approved this program? They are playing with our lives to make a show. This is too much."

"Did you amateurs know this in advance? Are you saying that the production team is targeting us on purpose?"

Cai Fankun was so terrified that he wanted to slap the director a few times.

Meng Chao gave Cai Fankun a speechless look.

Targeting artists?

The program team makes money from artists, so they are stupid enough to target artists. The only people who will be targeted are ordinary people like me who have no foundation.

He retracted his gaze and sneered, "You probably don't know that many farmers catch scorpions at night to sell for money, right?"

"Aren't they afraid of being stung to death?"

"It's just a scorpion, not a very dangerous creature. Since the production team has notified us, they must have made some preparations. You don't need to be so scared."

"Scorpions will not attack people unless you threaten their survival or get close to their nests."

"Also, the program said that our shoes and pants are specially made to resist punctures. They shouldn't be unable to protect against scorpions, right?"

"I don't know what the program team's purpose is, but there is no need for us to panic."

Meng Chao didn't say anything harsher. After all, he didn't want to offend the other party too much, as it would make him appear to have low emotional intelligence.

[Good rebuttal, Brother Chao is indeed smart, he understood the program team's idea immediately. ]

[Scared to death, Aykun has already pissed himself, hahaha.] [This is indeed scary, but the scene where the production team just electrocuted the scorpion is still quite exciting. Did they not know that they could remotely electrocute the scorpion with a ball?]

[The production team is really bad. They put pressure on the artists and created panic right away. The expressions of these artists just now were so wonderful. This show is exciting and interesting.]

Meng Chao discovered that his popularity began to rise again, directly reaching 12,000.

Obviously, this is the effect of criticizing Cai Fankun.

Cai Fankun was speechless after hearing what Meng Chao said, and his fists hidden in his pockets were clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound.

"I'm fighting for our interests, not because I'm afraid. You're reacting too strongly." Cai Fankun did not forget that the company asked him to establish a tough guy persona, so he explained.

Meng Chao acted as if he didn't care about scorpions. If he was scared, wouldn't he become a coward?
Meng Chao did not respond, but continued to roast his squirrel.

Game must be roasted before eating, otherwise parasites and various viruses can torture people to death.

Although they were vaccinated and took immunity-boosting drugs before going to the island, they still had to rely on themselves for care.

Perhaps to ease the awkwardness, Cai Fankun continued, "Do you think they will gain anything?"

"Probably not." Meng Chao said truthfully.

He didn't think that An Yifei really had excellent archery skills, because practicing archery was much more difficult than practicing with a gun.

An Yifei has at most practiced simple movements for some role, and it is impossible for her to practice archery frequently.

This kind of archery only requires appearance, not practicality.

"Don't you think highly of Fairy Sister's archery skills?" Cai Fankun excitedly dug a trap for Meng Chao.

"I'm very optimistic. Her archery skills are very good. She even taught me archery this morning. However, hunting sometimes relies on more than just archery." Meng Chao did not jump in.

He sneered in his heart and thought: Haven’t you heard that sincerity is a killer move?

Moreover, it was An Yifei who taught me archery. When I reach the maximum level, An Yifei will be very happy.

Since Meng Chao said so, Cai Fankun didn't know what to say.

It was boring to stay here, but he was afraid to go out, so he was very depressed.

"I don't know what's going on with the other groups, but no one should give up, right?" Cai Fankun got bored and could only pick leaves for fun.

"If there is, there should be an announcement and we will be able to receive it." Meng Chao gave the answer.

He thinks the program team is doing this for ratings and will definitely make good use of this.

At the same time, he also knew that these artists would not give up easily.

If you want to give up, you will definitely find a suitable reason.

For example, if you are sick or injured, only by quitting the show can you avoid being criticized by the audience.

Because you can't endure hardship and are too timid, this will become a stain that will be difficult to wash away in the future.

The two chatted for a few sentences and then fell silent, because they really had no common topics and had no interest in chatting with each other.

After a while, the squirrel smelled a little bit of barbecue.

Although it tasted very bland, it made Cai Fankun, who was not full to begin with, swallow his saliva.

At this moment, there was a sudden 'bang' sound.

It seemed like something had hit their shed directly.
