117. I Survive on a Deserted Island
"Yan Chu, are you awake?"
When Yan Chu calmed down and went out, it was already dark. A bonfire had been lit outside the tent. A group of contestants were discussing how to deal with the food they had just caught.
The live broadcast time for Dou Xiong's promotion is 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, which will last for half a month. According to the original plan, they would have arrived at Forer Star last night. The one day in between was for them to adapt. After all, the program needs viewers. If these contestants were caught off guard soon after the start, it would also affect the popularity of the program.
It was just because of this accident that they did not arrive at Forer Star last night, but arrived at this strange planet after a long interstellar drift.
So at the beginning, 007 told him to hide carefully to prevent being filmed by the live broadcast ball, which was a lie to him. The live broadcast had not started at all, and the live broadcast ball would not be operating, otherwise those contestants would not have criticized him unscrupulously when he was about to accept the memory.
After all, no matter which era, the audience still likes truth, goodness and beauty. Disputes or quarrels to attract attention are indispensable, but vicious attacks on an injured contestant will definitely affect the accumulation of popularity.
The camp tents were brought to the spaceship by the contestants before departure. Each contestant had one, but because of the malfunction of the spaceship, many items inside were damaged. There are only five tents left for the nine contestants. At least eight of them need to share a tent. Yan Chu is a wounded person. It is estimated that the luck of living alone in a tent is left to him. Just before leaving the tent, he carefully checked the inside of the tent and found only his things.
In fact, this seemingly preferential treatment for the wounded is not necessarily a good thing.
Now they are stranded on a deserted island, and they don’t know whether there will be unknown species on this planet that is not registered in the Federation, and whether there are beasts with extremely strong attack power. In fact, at the beginning of the game, forming an alliance is the best way.
Two or even three or four people form a group, first jointly kill the strongest player, break through one by one, and then PK within the group. Usually, except for Gu Xixi and Gu Xihe, the contestants are not familiar with each other. Living in a tent, they must be more intimate than other contestants, and this advantage is no longer available to Yan Chu.
In addition, before the start of the game, he was a strong contender for the championship on Star Online, and many contestants regarded him as a strong enemy. At this moment, he was alone, which was probably what most contestants would be more happy to see.
Yan Chu suddenly felt that his injury was a good thing. At least in the minds of other contestants, an enemy with a broken hand and weakened attack power might not be worth mentioning, at least they would not be on guard against him like they did at the beginning.
Among so many contestants, the only one who clearly showed a good impression of Yan Chu was probably Sheng Xiaoxing, a round-faced girl. When she saw Yan Chu coming out, she patted the seat next to her without thinking and asked Yan Chu to sit over quickly.
The contestants beside the bonfire had different expressions, and they were secretly evaluating Yan Chu's current state.
"Yan Chu, how do you feel now?"
Sheng Xiaoxing looked at her idol up close. He was so handsome, and his skin was flawless. As a woman, she felt inferior. She finally experienced the feeling of being fainted by his handsomeness.
Seeing Yan Chu, who was ten thousand times more handsome than in the video, Sheng Xiaoxing suddenly felt that it was very right for her to participate in this game without telling her brother.
"My right arm is basically powerless, but I'm lucky to be alive."
Yan Chu's right hand was dislocated. Now the bone is connected, but gravity cannot be used, otherwise it may be dislocated again, which will be more troublesome.
It's not a critical moment yet. He doesn't want to use the only inner pill so soon. What's more, no one present knows that his original body is a left-handed person. The programs he broadcast live are all performed for the audience, so naturally there is no need to use the killer.
Except for Sheng Xiaoxing who is still a little worried, the other contestants are all grateful in their eyes, but they all feel that Yan Chu, even with a large fan base, will not pose too much threat to them in this competition.
"Just now when you were resting, we caught some shellfish and crabs in the shallow sea, and Xu Santong caught two snakes outside the jungle. We are thinking about how to deal with them?"
Now they lack the necessary seasonings and cooking tools. The only thing on the spaceship is probably the pot left by the previous people, and there is not much salt left. Apart from that, there is nothing else. It is basically impossible to cook food with these things.
So there are actually only two ways in front of them, cook in a pot, or roast directly on the fire. Of course, the taste will definitely not be much better.
"Shells and crabs can be boiled directly with seawater."
This is the skill he learned from the local residents when he followed Zhong Li to travel on an island in the world of the little wolf dog.
The seafood from the place of origin is directly boiled with seawater from the sea where it originally lived. It is not only not fishy, but also extremely fresh and fragrant, with the taste of the sea.
The problem they are facing now is not only the shortage of seasonings, but also the lack of drinking water. Boiling seafood with seawater can solve this part of the problem.
As for the snake, he had dozens of ways to cook it, but he obviously didn't have any seasonings, so he could only simply rub salt on it and roast it.
It seemed that he would have to search for some seasonings when the competition started tomorrow.
In the eyes of the audience, as an outdoor adventure live broadcaster, it is not very difficult for you to survive. How to live well, live exquisitely, and live in the wild like a seven-star hotel is the ability.
The original body's requirements include the desire to win the championship of this competition. Yan Chu certainly will not hide his shortcomings. Fortunately, the animal encyclopedia and plant encyclopedia he bought from the system mall before have come in handy.
It's a pity that these two skills are available in the current world. Now he has all the discovered and undiscovered animal and plant encyclopedias in the Federation in his mind. It can be said that he is a walking living dictionary. He also has confidence in surviving with so many people on this dangerous desert island.
"Can you eat boiled shells in seawater?"
In the interstellar era, many people don't care about food. They often use various flavors of nutritional supplements for three meals a day. When participating in the wilderness challenge, the official naturally cannot let them bring nutritional supplements.
So when Yan Chu said this, the blonde woman named Linda refuted that the seawater was so bitter and astringent, and the food cooked out of it would not be very delicious.
"Actually, this method should be feasible."
Gu Xihe glanced at Yan Chu, picked up the only pot in the camp and went to the beach to collect seawater, then poured seafood such as shells and crabs into the pot and waited for it to boil.
Gu Xihe is the best at swimming, so many of these shellfish were caught by him. Since he believed Yan Chu's suggestion, others could not say anything.
Seemingly afraid that Yan Chu would say something shocking again, Xu Santong did not bother about how to cook the snake. He peeled the snake skin, exposed the white snake meat, cut it into pieces, skewered it on the cut wood branches and roasted it in the fire.
Because of the accidental landing on the deserted island, all the contestants have not eaten for a day. No matter how it tastes, it smells fragrant in the nose, and the stomach can't help but growl.
Sheng Xiaoxing covered her stomach, which seemed a bit embarrassing in front of her idol.
"Now that such an accident has happened, Douxiong sent a message today saying that those who want to withdraw still have a chance. Among us, does anyone want to withdraw?"
David looked at the other eight contestants and asked with an inquiring look.
The roasted snake oil dripped onto the firewood, making crackling sounds and sparks. No one at the scene spoke.
"Yan Chu, you are seriously injured. Don't you plan to quit? In the competition, we are enemies, but in private, we are also friends. Before the federal search and rescue team finds us, I believe that other contestants will be responsible for your diet like me."
The contestants who do not participate in the competition only need to wait for the arrival of the search and rescue team. Yan Chu now has a broken arm. Even his haters can't find any reason to criticize him for quitting halfway. This is completely irresistible.
"This competition is very interesting. My fans have been looking forward to it for so long. If I quit like this, they will definitely be disappointed."
Sheng Xiaoxing, who was standing aside, wanted to say no after hearing Yan Chu's words. As his fan, his health and safety are the most important, but Yan Chu's firm and persistent expression under the candlelight made people more moved, and there was no chance to say a word.
It turned out to be the person she liked. Even if he encountered such a setback, he never thought of retreating. Such an idol makes people like him more and more.
Sheng Xiaoxing had a fangirl look on her face throughout the whole process, and even a fool could see what she was thinking.
She was able to participate in this competition entirely because of her reputation on the Internet as a walking plant encyclopedia, but when observing this deserted island, many people discovered that many of the plants on the island had never appeared in the Federation, so it was unlikely for the contestants whether Sheng Xiaoxing could fully understand these plants.
Moreover, the opponent's physical fitness was also notoriously weak. Such teammates might not necessarily provide help, but were more likely to hold back, so other contestants did not care much about her closeness to Yan Chu.
"In that case, after this meal and tonight, we will be competitors. Of course, I hope that we can still be friends after the game."
David said the official polite words. This live broadcast competition does not allow players to attack and hurt each other. The only creatures that can hurt the players are those dangerous creatures. Generally speaking, the possibility of casualties is not high. Of course, being stranded on a deserted island may add various accidents. In short, these players should be able to survive the end of the game. At that time, the prize money will fall on the champion. The others will no longer be in competition. If they have similar interests, they can be friends.
No one refuted David's words. Before the contradiction deepens, everyone needs to maintain harmony on the surface.

"Doctor, nine accidental intruders, should they be eliminated?"
A mechanical female voice came from the neat laboratory.
An old man with disheveled hair looked at the blurry figures in the dark night, pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and nodded yes without any fluctuations in his eyes.
