Zhang Shengsheng shouted to Wen He from a distance. Wen He immediately turned around, stepped over the stone, and walked towards him. There was a long wooden box covered with dry grass. If you didn't look carefully, you would definitely not notice it.
The two opened the box together; inside were just two bottles of water, nothing else.
"Ah..."
I was feeling a bit thirsty...
Wen He took out one of the bottles and drank from it.
Zhang Shengsheng kicked the box in dissatisfaction, "What is this? Such a long box, and there are only two bottles of water inside? I thought there might be weapons."
Wen He unscrewed another bottle of water and handed it to him, comforting him, "It's good to have water. We can drink it when we're thirsty. We can't drink the water from the water gun, so we can only stay thirsty."
Zhang Shengsheng looked up at the bright sun overhead, then took the water and drank it.
" Xiao He, you're right. With such a hot sun, we'll get dehydrated if we don't have water to drink..."
As the pair with the weakest overall strength, the two discussed their options and then squatted behind a dilapidated wall, clutching their water bottles, to rest.
Oh dear, look how tired my two kids are!
[Get some rest, just wait to be wiped out in one fell swoop, anyway, don't come in first place.]
[Yeah, what can those two do together? Just a pair of best friends.]
[Pah, pah, pah! What best friend group? Have you forgotten that Xiao He is a top? She said it herself.]
[Um... that's how it is, Xiao He is 1]
[Where is 1?]
[1 is inside]
[?]
[??]
[???]
[It's been held!]
[This episode is a bit sexually suggestive, that's not allowed, we're a legitimate live stream.]
[A "Double 1" combination, where both people draw the number 1]
[I can't take it anymore, the two people with the lowest scores got 1.]
[What does that mean? It's what Xiao He himself said.]
[OK, can we get back to the main topic? I'm afraid of getting banned.]
[The program was also banned because the production team was banned.]
"We need water guns," Wen He, shielding her eyes with her hand as she looked at the distant woods.
"We need to get the water guns first, so we'll have a fighting chance!" Zhang Shengsheng thought the other person made sense, so he pulled Wen He along and headed deeper into the woods.
"Here's a box!" Duan Yueyang jogged forward and opened the long wooden box in front of him.
There happened to be a water gun inside, which was the only water gun the two of them had since the start of the game, meaning that they now had the ability to compete with other teams when facing other players!
Just as he was excitedly about to share this with Jiang Ye, Jiang Ye quickly stepped forward, bent over, and carefully squatted down, making sure the cameraman was also hidden.
"Shh..."
Duan Yueyang, holding a water gun, hid with Jiang Ye in the bushes behind a large tree.
To better conceal himself, Duan Yueyang pressed his back tightly against the dead tree, reaching out to grab Jiang Ye's clothes to make more room for him.
Jiang Ye looked down at his wrist at the hem of his dress but did not step forward.
Too close.
"Hey, Xiao He, are you tired? Why don't we take a break?" Zhang Shengsheng kicked aside the tree branch blocking their way and went over to hug Wen He's arm.
"Hmm, this is fine." Wen He looked around and found a large tree to sit down. It was the largest tree in the area, and its canopy completely blocked out the blazing sun.
"I've finished my water, Xiao He, can I drink yours?"
"Okay," Wen He handed the half-empty bottle of mineral water to Zhang Shengsheng.
Zhang Shengsheng stood up, avoiding her lips, and poured water into her parched mouth. Her gaze flickered, and she saw a glimmer of light emerging from the grass in the distance.
It looked exactly like the iron lock on a wooden crate reflecting the sunlight.
Zhang Shengsheng excitedly ran forward, turned around and waved to Wen He: " Xiao He! There seems to be a wooden box over here that hasn't been opened!"
Upon hearing this Wen He stood up, her entire body now fully exposed to the two people's view from behind the bushes.
It's a bit far... Wen He bent down and rubbed her aching calves and arms, standing still without moving forward.
Duan Yueyang, seeing the weakness exposed by the person in front of him, silently raised the water gun in his hand.
As long as his hand stays steady, he's guaranteed a hit from that distance!
With the gun pointed at Wen He's back, the fingertip pressed the trigger, and a stream of white paint sprayed all over Wen He's back, covering half of his body!
Wen He is eliminated!
The scene he had imagined did not appear. Duan Yueyang stared at the palm of the hand covering the muzzle of the gun and slowly put the water gun down.
He lowered his eyes, swallowed the acid in his mouth, his heart felt heavy like it was being punched, and managed a weak smile. He didn't look at Jiang Ye, but leaned against the tree trunk, holding a water gun in his arms, listening to the joyful sounds of the two people in the distance as they obtained supplies.
Jiang Ye gripped the hem of his shirt, wiping the damp paint from his palms. He didn't dare look at the other person. The two leaned silently against the giant tree, letting time pass, neither making a further move...
Until the distant figure disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Ye opened his chapped lips, got up and left the bushes, finally uttering only two words.
"Feel sorry..."
Duan Yueyang smiled, swallowing the tears welling in his eyes in the blink of an eye. He stared at the departing figure and spoke slowly in a voice only he could hear.
"It doesn't matter..."
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]
[I can't take it anymore, it's too cruel]
[This is so unfair to the Yangyang.]
[ Lawyer Jiang, please remember that Yangyang is your teammate and your date right now!]
[It's so heartbreaking to watch (இωஇ )]
[ Yangyang, what were you thinking when you saw the palm of your hand blocking the gun barrel...?]
[ Jiang Ye, when you two are leaning against the same tree, are you thinking of Yangyang beside you, or Xiao He in the distance?]
I'm crying so hard, he loves me so much.
[The four of you should stay together, I can't stand it anymore.]
[ Xiao He will probably never know this, so Lawyer Jiang, was it worth it?]
Duan Yueyang took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh air from the woods and exhaling the sour, stale air.
He smiled and ran to Jiang Ye's side, and the two walked in silence toward the opposite direction from Wen He.
" Jiang Ye, you take the water gun. I'm not as strong as you!" Duan Yueyang handed the water gun slung at his waist to the person next to him.
Jiang Ye shook his head. "You keep it. I'm wearing glasses, so my accuracy isn't as good as yours."
"Alright then..." Duan Yueyang hung the water gun back on his waist, the only sound between them being the crunching of dead wood.
"I'm sorry..." Jiang Ye apologized again.
Duan Yueyang looked at the person walking beside him with his head down and quickly stepped forward to catch up with him.
"It's okay, Xiao He and the others don't have water guns! It wouldn't be honorable for us to win; bullying two people who don't have guns is something only despicable people would do!"
"Hmm," Jiang Ye's lips slowly curved upwards upon hearing this, and the two strolled side by side in the sunlight.
As it turns out, despicable people only become more despicable.
"Ah! Who's there! Who's attacking us!"
Zhang Shengsheng, carrying Wen He, dodged everywhere, but the water guns that seemed to appear out of nowhere always managed to hit their limbs precisely while avoiding their vital points.
But there was a large open space in front of him, Wen He had nowhere to hide. Looking at his arms and legs covered in paint, he stood there with a bit of arrogance, while Zhang Shengsheng hid behind him, observing the people who might appear at any moment.
A burst of mocking laughter came from under a large tree in the distance.
"Why are you standing still? Hmm?"
