Let's just jump straight to Chapter 48.
Lu Yunjie's eyes widened even more: "We just finished eating bear meat, and now you're thinking about crocodile meat?"
To everyone's surprise, Wei Siqi didn't think he had done anything wrong at all. He blinked innocently and said, "Isn't life just about those ideals of eating and drinking?"
Lu Yining: "You're right!"
"How about we wait here for a while and see if any crocodiles appear around here?"
None of the four men objected to Lu Yining's suggestion. It was still early, so waiting a little longer wouldn't hurt.
Bullet screen section:
[Does everyone remember... what kind of variety show this was? Normally, participating in a wilderness survival show like this should be like a weight loss training camp, right? But the Buddha's group seems to be having a really easy time, eating and drinking all day long. The Warriors Alliance group next door seems more realistic though...]
[There's no way around it. It's because the Buddha's people, or rather... Lu Yining, are just too powerful. The other four men aren't a hindrance either; they're all extremely capable. Everyone works well together, so life is naturally easy.]
Some groups are still sharing three fish among five people, while others... have already eaten bear meat and are still dreaming of crocodile meat... How can there be such a huge difference!
"Let's go find some hazelnuts first," Ji Shiyan said in a deep voice.
The other three looked completely bewildered, but Lu Yining understood. She snapped her fingers: "Right, we need to find Hazelnut!"
"Are hazelnuts...used for anything?"
Wei Siqi was completely baffled, staring blankly at the two of them. It seemed that he hadn't done enough research beforehand! He would have to study more about wilderness knowledge after the variety show ended.
“There are worms inside hazelnuts. We can use those worms as bait to lure fish,” Ji Shiyan explained to Wei Siqi.
They thought they'd just stand there waiting, but it turns out this is how it works! Once Wei Siqi understood the purpose of the hazelnuts, he quickly urged, "What are we waiting for? Let's hurry and find some hazelnuts nearby!"
Lu Yining and the others were about to walk forward when suddenly, a voice belonging to Lu Yunjie came from behind them, filled with a hint of tension: "I think... we don't need to look for it anymore."
Ok?
The group turned around and saw a crocodile, almost the size of an adult human, slowly crawling ashore from the river. Its eyes were fixed on them menacingly, its mouth agape, its gaze filled with predatory intent.
"Holy crap! Speak of the devil and he appears? What do we do? I'm so excited! Should we pick a sturdy branch and stick it in the ground to kill it? Or should we just chop it with a knife? But our knife is only for close-range attacks, so it might hurt us as we get closer."
Wei Siqi rattled off a long string of words, but the excitement in his eyes was impossible to hide.
"Why bother with all that trouble? Just get right to it."
Lu Yining simply and directly said this and walked towards the crocodile.
The crocodile's gaze was originally fixed on the men, but because of Lu Yining's movement, it instantly shifted its attention from the men to Lu Yining.
Just as Lu Yining was about to reach it, the crocodile suddenly pounced on her. The crocodile had been so confident that it would have a good meal today.
However, at this moment... looking at his body pinned to the ground, unable to move at all, the crocodile shed a tear of sorrow.
Where did such a powerful guy come from!
Today... was an inauspicious start!
Bullet screen section:
I bet... it must be regretting it now, wondering why it swam up today, and why it didn't go back down immediately after coming up.
Kindness is often taken advantage of, and weakness is often exploited.
Don't you guys think... that crocodile looks a bit like a pig about to be slaughtered at a slaughterhouse?
[Look, look! Lu Yining has made her move!]
Lu Yining gave it a quick death with a single cut. After all, their initial intention was to eat it, not to cruelly torture an animal. Letting it go to heaven quickly would also be a way for them to accumulate good karma.
After killing the crocodile, Lu Yining went to the river to wash her hands. She then turned to look at the four men behind her and saw that they were extremely proactive this time. In the short time it took her to wash her hands, they had already walked forward and lifted up the crocodile's carcass.
"Let's go home first!" Lu Yining waved her hand. "Let's put our things away first, then we'll go look for pine needles!"
Bullet screen section:
【Huh? Why go home first? Can't two people carry the crocodile and the other three carry the pine needles? That would save a lot of time, wouldn't it?】
[Upstairs! What you're doing is tantamount to suicide! Are you carrying a crocodile carcass because you want to die even faster? There are all kinds of wild beasts in the forest! They'll smell the blood and rush at them, surrounding them, and then they'll be truly finished!]
The group carried the crocodile carcass back to the sanctuary, placed it next to the black bear carcass, and without lingering for a moment, hurried off to collect pine needles. Only when each of them had a large stack of pine needles in their hands did they return to the sanctuary satisfied.
The group worked until nightfall before finally stopping. Besides installing pine needles on the roof, they also built another house to store food. Now the bear and crocodile meat no longer had to sleep in the open, and their carcasses finally had a place to rest.
Looking at the food in the "storage room," Wei Siqi felt very gratified. It seemed that even if he didn't go out to find food for the next few days, this food alone would be enough to last until the end of the show's recording.
Of course, it would be even better if we could try some tiger meat or lion meat!
As he thought about it, Wei Siqi's mouth watered.
……
I don't know whether to praise those few people in the Buddha's group for their sense of crisis or what. They just used pine needles to make the shelter stable last night, and it started raining early this morning. And judging from the rain, there was no sign of it stopping. Although it wasn't heavy, it was continuous and never stopped.
Lu Yining and Ji Shiyan were on night watch last night. The moment it started to rain, they both returned to their respective shelters to avoid the rain.
After keeping watch all night, both of them were quite tired, and since it was raining and they couldn't go out, they simply lay down in the shelter and fell asleep.
The other three woke up to find it was raining and had the same thought. They closed their eyes again after only a few minutes and fell fast asleep.
It was almost noon when Wei Siqi woke up. Seeing that the rain had subsided, he sat up, went to the river to wash up, and when he returned and saw that the other four were still asleep, he started making lunch.
