Meanwhile, An Xinian was really getting fed up with the noise, but at the same time he was glad that he hadn't suffered the same fate as Qin Fang, where he hurt himself as much as the enemy.
Is Qin Fang really bald?
He frowned slightly and looked at Qin Fang with a hint of disdain. After receiving An Xinian's gaze, Qin Fang finally understood what it meant to shoot himself in the foot. He looked up at the sky in despair.
This time, Ling Zhenyang had three people, which forced An Xinian and Qin Fang to retreat. If they continued fighting, they would definitely suffer heavy losses with Ling Zhenyang. Ling Zhenyang had an extra life, while the two of them would be eliminated.
Unable to afford to gamble, the two had no choice but to flee.
Xie Zhuzhou's group had already walked far away by this time.
The announcement said that the lap timer would be reduced again at 3 pm, and the final lap timer would be reduced to 5:30 pm, which would determine the winner within 15 minutes.
In the afternoon, the sea breeze carried a hint of heat, and the sun was scorching.
Zhang Yin hiking. The further he went into the area, the fewer supplies he had, and he even ran out of water.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at the tall coconut trees, his eyes filled with longing for water.
Zhang Yin regretted it; he thought the production team would continue to provide abundant supplies, but the supplies became increasingly scarce as the show progressed.
For lunch, they ate snacks that Chu Yanzhang didn't eat. Those snacks weren't filling at all, and they didn't drink enough water either.
As the sun grew stronger, he could only try to stay in the shade. But the trees on the island were strange; they all grew in their own way. Sometimes he could see coconut trees, and sometimes he couldn't.
Xie Zhuzhou noticed that Little Yan's lips were a little dry. He told everyone to step back, and using a slingshot as cover, several small stones, which sped up like bullets, hit the stems connecting the coconuts and the coconut trees with a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh".
One by one, the green coconuts crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
Xie Zhuzhou quickly picked up the coconut, then picked up the stone and easily opened a coconut for Chu Yanzhang.
"Drink up, I'll pick a few more if it's not enough."
Xue Lang: "..." Brother-in-law, are you calling that picking?
Xue Lang had witnessed Xie Zhuzhou's strength firsthand before, but when it came to actual combat, the difference between Xie Zhuzhou and ordinary people became even more apparent. If Xie Zhuzhou wanted to kill someone with a slingshot, it would probably be effortless for him.
Xue Lang only recently learned that he had a younger brother. His mother passed away from illness shortly after his birth, and his father went through a period of depression, indulging in pleasure and neglecting his family.
It's estimated that Chu Yanzhang came into being around that time.
Later, he investigated Chu Yanzhang's experiences over the years and was deeply distressed by what he read. How could the Chu Family dare to treat his own brother like this? He wondered how his brother had grown up... how he had survived all these years.
It's not that he developed any feelings for Chu Yanzhang after learning he was his younger brother; it's just that he didn't want his own brother to live an unclear and ambiguous life outside.
He already knew Xie Zhuzhou was a womanizer, so he planned to follow him to see for himself.
Thankfully, Xie Zhuzhou has reformed and stopped getting involved with other men. Although he is cold, he is still a polite person.
They treated Chu Yanzhang very well.
But if Xie Zhuzhou continues to act like a scumbag, he will definitely expose him and not let his brother be kept in the dark.
That was the original intention of Xue Lang's visit, but now it seems he underestimated Xie Zhuzhou's concern for Chu Yanzhang; Xie Zhuzhou's affection for Chu Yanzhang was subtle and unspoken.
When it comes to Chu Yanzhang, it's not just about words, but about actions; the care shown to Chu Yanzhang is evident in the details.
But his brother-in-law... is a bully, wouldn't he be abusive?
Xue Lang took the coconut Xie Zhuzhou handed him; it was heavy.
He suddenly couldn't help but worry about his younger brother's future. His brother looked so sickly and weak; could he even withstand a punch?
Unaware of Chu Yanzhang's strength, Xue Lang suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of worry, for Chu Yanzhang was, after all, his only younger brother.
Xie Zhuzhou looked at Xue Lang, wondering if he didn't know how to drive. What if his teammate died of thirst on the road? Their production team would definitely have to pay compensation, right?
So he casually helped his rival open the coconut. He grabbed the sharpest rock nearby and smashed it open. "Here you go."
Xie Zhuzhou was very dissatisfied with Xue Lang's attitude. He had condescended to open a coconut for his love rival, and his rival actually looked down on it?!
Xue Lang noticed Xie Zhuzhou staring at him coldly, so he could only force a smile and say Xiexie.
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhuzhou nodded indifferently.
Xue Lang: "..." Before, when Xie Zhuzhou lived next door to him, he was a cute and sunny junior. How did he mutate now??
Isn't that a little scary?
Previously, Xue Lang only considered Xie Zhuzhou's womanizing tendencies when judging whether he was suitable for his younger brother. Now, he could only consider whether his brother could withstand a single punch from Xie Zhuzhou.
Chu Yanzhang frowned slightly. He was a little unhappy that Zhouzhou was opening coconuts for others, but they were all teammates. What if something happened?
As long as teammates are alive, they can still be used as meat shields.
After resting, they began searching for clues. The broadcast said the clues were just out in sight, so everyone's necks were tired from looking up, and they barely managed to pinpoint the location of the safe zone before 3 o'clock.
On the way to the safe zone, you'll inevitably encounter other teams.
Those two lunatics had learned their lesson this time. Before Xie Zhuzhou could shoot them in the head, they quickly slipped away, though not very fast.
Xie Zhuzhou hadn't forgotten these two. They had acted like they were on top of the world after he shot them a few times before; they were truly twisted.
Xie Zhuzhou frowned slightly. Only after reaching the safe zone did he take out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat and find a rock to sit down. Because they had to "run from the poison gas," they didn't even have time to carry a few coconuts into the final circle.
The two perverts who had deliberately lured Xie Zhuzhou slowly stopped in their tracks.
Li Shanshan's expression suddenly turned dejected. "Why isn't Xie Zhuzhou chasing after us?"
"I don't know, is it because we're too bad at this?" Quan Wei hid behind a tree, looking regretfully at the trap the two of them had worked so hard to dig.
"Perhaps Xie Zhuzhou has seen through our scheme."
After the split screen in the live stream was reduced by half, Quan Wei and his partner gained attention from netizens.
[I also thought Xie Zhuzhou would catch up, after all, he's really fast!]
[Oh my god, I was so anxious watching that! I thought Bully Zhouzhou was really going to get caught, and I was about to set off firecrackers to celebrate!]
[Upstairs, aren't you a fan of Xie Zhuzhou?]
[Being a fan doesn't mean we'll watch our idol win; we just want to see them fail, haha]
Xie Zhuzhou is incredibly strong, so fans feel something is missing. Xie Zhuzhou is too perfect, which makes them feel too distant from him.
But if something like Zhouzhou getting kicked in the face by a rabbit happened, they would find Xie Zhuzhou adorable.
