Hunting Wilderness: Starting with the Butcher

Chapter 154 Intrigue and Crisis Approaching!

As the saying goes, one can never predict whether a surprise or an accident will come first. For the four teams that have chosen to remain on the deserted island, giving up may be easy, but persevering is difficult.

Just as Yuan Linghan, Son Ye-jin, and others began preparing for the upcoming rainy season, the situation for the Sakura and Siam teams, seemingly free of their burdens, did not improve. In particular, the three members of the Sakura team had new conflicts in private.

In the eyes of the two star team members, their captain, whose wilderness survival skills were indeed superior to theirs, completely failed to fulfill his responsibilities. Even though the three of them found a cassava forest, eating too much cassava would still become tiresome.

The captain of the Sakura team, however, found little success setting traps in the jungle or hunting in the mountains. Meanwhile, the two male celebrities who went beachcombing every day managed to find just enough food to fill their stomachs.

As a result, the two male celebrities suddenly felt that they, who should have been the ones being taken care of, were now the ones taking care of the more professional team leader. As time went on, the three of them engaged in a heated debate over the already limited amount of food.

The two male celebrities, in particular, noticed that their team leader, who went into the mountains every day, seemed to have forgotten to bring back the food he collected there. On one occasion, they clearly saw him appear to have eaten something in the mountains.

When questioned, the team leader replied firmly, "I did find some fruit in the mountains. But you all know how arduous it is to go up into the mountains. How can I maintain my strength to hunt without replenishing my food supply?"

"So, out of all the times you've gone into the mountains, how many times have you actually brought back food?"

When one of the male celebrities objected, the team leader seemed quite angry and said, "If you don't trust me, then you can choose to go into the mountains to collect food, while I go to the beach to collect seafood. You have absolutely no trust in me!"

After an argument, the food shortage problem remained unresolved. If initially the three men wanted to drive away the three female team members who were holding them back, now that their goal was achieved, they began scheming against each other for their own interests.

It has to be said that after these scenes aired, the three female celebrities who withdrew early and returned home safely suddenly felt very fortunate. If they had remained on the island, who knows what their fate would have been!

Another team that appears harmonious on the surface but is actually at odds is the four-person group from Siam. The Siamese team was originally divided into three sub-teams. Now that Mario and Pimchanok have left, the remaining four are arguing over food distribution.

Tony, who was trained in martial arts, was also unhappy that the captain had given him and another female team member more food. Meanwhile, the captain was clearly deliberately making things difficult for Tony and the other female team member.

Perhaps the captain and the other female celebrity thought that if they could force Tony and the other female team member to leave, the two of them could split the prize money from the four players. Keep in mind, that's a hefty reward of two million!

It must be said that the ugliest side of human nature finally erupted when food became a crisis. Only on Yuan Linghan's side, everything seemed peaceful and prosperous, with the three women doing what they could in the camp every day.

Yuan Linghan, who was in charge of collecting supplies in the mountains, always managed to bring back a variety of edible foods each time. Even if it was just fruit sometimes, the three girls were still happy. After all, fruit could fill their stomachs when they were hungry!

On the other hand, with the combined efforts of the five members, Kim Byung-man, thanks to the location of supplies provided by Yuan Linghan, was able to make some gains every time he went into the mountains with Ma Dong-hee. In a short time, their supplies became quite abundant.

Finding the giant banana grove made Kim Byung-man and the others realize that with these giant bananas, they could finally improve their meals. Son Ye-jin, Lim Chung-ah, and Lee Ji-eun were also working hard every day.

This atmosphere of unity and striving for the championship made the audience who had previously disliked their joint effort to remove and expel the captain suddenly feel that the team had become more united without the captain.

If you were to ask who least wanted to see this happen, it would undoubtedly be Park Geun-woo, who was impeached and expelled, becoming a pariah. He originally thought that he would receive the understanding and support of the people upon returning home, but instead, he was met with a chorus of condemnation.

As anger and resentment boiled over, Park Geun-woo quickly conceived a plan to take revenge on the five star team members who had humiliated him, as well as the indifferent members of the show's self-organized group. A wicked scheme soon formed in his mind.

After returning to Korea, Park Geun-woo faced a confrontation with several celebrity fans who blocked his home, ultimately choosing to leave the country. However, no one expected that he would quietly return to the uninhabited island area after leaving.

He found a group of armed forces he had dealt with in the past and quickly proposed a plan that appealed to them. The armed leader believed that with Park Geun-woo acting as an inside man, the plan had a high chance of success.

If the plan succeeds, they will not only become famous, but also acquire a large fortune. With money, even if they live in anonymity and flee to a distant land, they can still get away with it and live the life of the wealthy they have always pursued.

For these desperados, life was already a constant struggle, living on the edge. Even though they knew how risky it was, they were still willing to gamble with their lives to change their fate.

"Boss, Paradise Island is likely to be hit by a storm in a few days. In that situation, our chances of success will be much higher if we sneak over. Even if the news leaks out, with hostages in our hands, they won't dare to act recklessly."

"Alright, let's wait a few more days. We'll try our best this time and wipe them all out. After this job, we'll move far away, find a new place, and live the life of the rich."

Those who have dealt with this armed group know that they are essentially a band of pirates. In terms of familiarity with the surrounding islands and sea conditions, even the local maritime patrol teams probably don't know them as well as they do.

Most importantly, they were well aware of the complex sea conditions in the surrounding area. Several neighboring countries claimed sovereignty over the numerous uninhabited islands in the vicinity.

Perhaps this is why encounters with pirates lead to disputes and finger-pointing among various countries. Fortunately, this sea area is not considered a prime shipping route. As long as the disturbance isn't too significant, neighboring countries don't want to provoke these outlaws.

Over time, these armed men who risked their lives at sea have managed to survive to this day. Park Geun-woo knew of their existence because he had dealt with these pirates in his early years and had paid ransoms for his employer.

Now that he's retired from active duty, he still knows about these people. Before he came, Park Geun-woo knew that if he exaggerated the rewards, these money-grubbing pirates would find it hard to resist the temptation.

Through these pirates, he might have a chance to make a fortune and vent his anger at the same time!

Meanwhile, the production team and guests were completely unaware that a deadly crisis was about to unfold. These desperate individuals, dreaming of overnight riches, could never have imagined the deadly and terrifying fate that awaited them!
