“Why do you have those pistols? Isn’t the production team being too biased?” Ling Fei asked, full of resentment as she soon as she saw the pistols.
“Biased? When you were resting and sleeping during the night, we were carefully searching each and every building that we entered. These pistols are the fruits of our hard labour. Why didn’t you think about searching the buildings? Don’t you have four years of variety shows experience?” Jiang Yuning asked Ling Fei.
“I…”
“The four maps that we collected were only retrieved after we defeated the monsters that we intentionally lured to ourselves,” Jin Mingchen said, full of grievances. “We only got the maps after so much hard work and difficulty. How can you say that the production team is biased towards Sister Yuning? The production team gave you two maps without even making you work for it at all. Isn’t that more biased?”
“That is because I am the goddess of luck.”
She really knew how to twist and turn her words.
“You might be the goddess of luck, but at the same time, you are also the source of all evils. This is simply because you take everything that you have got for granted, and you were being too arrogant. If you did not rush to obtain success by stealing our maps without thinking through your own actions, perhaps you would still be in the race right now.”
“You guys can just wait and see. You will definitely suffer the same fate as us!”
“But does it really matter to you whether we succeed or fail in the end now? How would it concern you in any way?”
After that, Jiang Yuning held a pistol in her hand before she led her physically weak and frail team into the jungle.
At this time, Jin Mingchen followed behind Jiang Yuning before he said to Ling Fei, “Just admit defeat already.”
“I am really curious to see how you guys will do in the end.”
Ling Fei snorted as she stood at the edge of the jungle, but no one bothered to reply her.
…
After entering the jungle, Jiang Yuning determined the exact location where the key was hidden. However, she noticed that the key was placed on top of a bunch of wildflowers.
At this time, Tong Tong was about to step forward to pick up the key but at this time, Jiang Yuning stopped him immediately. “Tong Tong, have you already forgotten how you fell into the quicksand during the last issue?”
Tong Tong froze in his steps immediately.
“I will try something out first.” After that, Jiang Yuning picked up a stone before she threw it at the bunch of wildflowers. At this time, dozens of cobras suddenly swarmed in from every direction. “Be careful.”
Jiang Yuning quickly aimed her pistol at the cobras and after firing three consecutive shots, the three cobras nearest to them exploded immediately.
The production team had already known that Jiang Yuning’s marksmanship was impressive because of the monster hunting that they had done last night. However, they had not seen Jiang Yuning’s shooting posture before because she had always shot at the monsters from where she was hidden on top of the tree.
But at this moment…
All of them could see Jiang Yuning’s posture clearly as she fired her pistol.
“So cool!”
“Sister Yuning, you look so cool!”
“That was really cool…Sister Yuning, you are so manly!”
The production team could not help but to keep staring at Jiang Yuning through the cameras.
“Tong Tong, grab the key!”
Jiang Yuning pushed Jin Mingchen aside and instructed Tong Tong as she kept firing at the cobras.
At this time, only gunshots could be heard ringing throughout the forest. After a short moment, the four of them walked out of the jungle charismatically. Jin Mingchen had the dead bodies of two cobras in his hand and he threw one at Ling Fei before he said:
“Here, you can keep this as a souvenir. It is actually really realistic!”
Ling Fei’s face flushed red with anger immediately.
“Game over!”
The four of them then used the key to open up the iron gate and escaped the island successfully. At this time, both Ling Fei’s agent and Vera were already waiting for them at the gate.
The two agents were also having a fierce battle among themselves as they waited for their artistes outside the gate.
It was only until Jiang Yuning stepped out of the iron gate first that Vera quickly rushed over to greet her. “Is it over?”
“Yes.” Jiang Yuning and her teammates placed their backpacks on the ground before they sat down. “I am so tired.”
After the production crew picked up each and every one of the participants, the production team finally announced the final results of the race. “First of all, I would like to thank all of you for working so hard for the recording. Some of you really worked hard to defeat the monsters throughout the night. At this time, I would like to congratulate Yuning’s source of all evil team for their ultimate victory. The four of them have successfully accumulated fifty points each for this race.”
After a round of applause, Jin Mingchen took out the fake snake from his backpack before throwing it at the production team. “Where the hell did you get something like this? It is so realistic! Don’t you think that this is too scary?”
When the production team saw this, they quickly explained the situation to the puzzled participants. “All the monsters that you saw during the mission are bionic robots manufactured by Bobst Company. Even the snake that you just threw at us has been manufactured by that company.”
“Then, did the bionic robots kill the mice that we found dead on the island?”
“That was all fake. We placed them there to simulate a horrifying zombie apocalypse atmosphere for the race.”
Hmm!
Jin Mingchen could not help but sigh out loud. He was really scared to death earlier.
Alas, these strange creatures seemed to have reduced his phobia somehow.
“We are sorry to announce that those on the losing team would have fifty points deducted from the points that they have accumulated so far. We hope that everyone will continue to work hard and give it your best shot during the next issue of <Desert Island Rescue>. We would also like to thank Ling Fei for participating in our program this week. Your participation has really added a lot of joy and suspense to our program. Thank you once again.”
“No, no, no. I should be thanking the production team and all the members for taking such good care of me.”
After that, Ling Fei said goodbye to the production cast and crew before she got into her company car.
Jiang Yuning did not get on the bus that was going back to Luo City because Vera was already there to drive her home. After getting into the car, Jiang Yuning felt as though she could not move anymore because she was so exhausted.
Vera did not say anything because she did not want to disturb Jiang Yuning’s rest. However, Vera did not expect Jiang Yuning to suddenly open her mouth and speak. “Keep an eye on Ling Fei. I have a feeling that she is not a good person.”
“I would never have expected the production team to actually invite Ling Fei to participate in this issue of <Desert Island Rescue>. I cannot believe that they even made you and Ling Fei the team leaders of two opposing teams. However, you do not need to worry too much. I dug some information out of Director Mong’s assistant when you were not around for the past two days. I found out that after the candidate who secured the role of the first male lead in <Nameless Orphan> was announced, Ling Fei’s agent had contacted Director Mong privately and tried to ask him to give the role of the first female lead in the drama to Ling Fei instead.”
“Do they really think that this is a supermarket where they can come and go as they please?”
“Director Mong rejected Ling Fei on the spot directly. When I spoke to Ling Fei’s agent earlier, she was very scornful and it seems as though she really dislikes you. Fortunately, you are a strong contender for the role of the first female lead.”
This was because Vera noticed that when Jiang Yuning was the first person to walk out of the iron gate earlier, the expression on Ling Fei’s agent’s face was really ugly.
At the start, the agent had been boasting about how amazing Ling Fei was and how she would definitely be able to engage the audience.
She said that Ling Fei had always been the goddess of luck and that everyone else around her would only be plagued with bad luck.
My ass!
“The other party knows exactly what happened to Nan Xinyue and that is why they chose not to engage you in a direct confrontation. Instead, they chose to use some other despicable means to try and outdo you in your own comfort zone.”
“Sigh. Vera, you are so noisy. I just want to sleep,” Jiang Yuning complained as she yawned. She was extremely exhausted.
Ling Fei could do whatever she wanted to. Jiang Yuning would only react if she overstepped the boundaries.
“Alright then…go ahead and sleep first.” After a brief moment, Vera thought of something and she quickly turned around to look at Jiang Yuning. “Did you get hurt this time? I am always so afraid whenever you finish filming <Desert Island Rescue>.”
“Yeah, I injured myself…” Jiang Yuning pretended to cry. “Last night, I got a huge cut on my leg when I tried to climb up a tree.”
“Are you serious? Will I not live to see the sun tomorrow?”
…
On the other aside, Ling Fei’s agent could not understand what Ling Fei was feeling at this time.
“Xiao Fei…”
“Is there any way we can use to stop <Desert Island Rescue> from broadcasting this episode that we have just recorded? Can we just lodge a report stating that the recording is filled with violence and gore? Would that stop them from being able to broadcast the episode?”
