Director Niu did not seem to be lying, because the sky had already grown visibly overcast.
The guests could not help remembering the last prank on the deserted island, which had also involved a raging storm.
"You did this on purpose, didn't you? You knew the forecast called for a downpour, and you still brought us here for deserted island survival?" Qiu Chengye demanded angrily.
