After having lunch and resting for a while, everyone set off again.
Now everyone is more familiar with each other than when the show first started, and they have become more comfortable talking and joking. As a comedian with a background as a host, Dai Yang is even more eloquent and humorous along the way, which changes the atmosphere of the entire team. I felt relaxed, and the two female guests were even more amused.
At the same time, the program team also randomly distributed various strange tasks to everyone. If you complete the tasks, you can redeem daily necessities from the program team. Although the journey was long and bumpy, everyone had a good time, and there was no sudden incident like in the morning. Surprisingly, the atmosphere along the way was very relaxed, and even time seemed to pass very quickly.
Shen Kong is free from the situation throughout the whole process.
Except for occasionally participating in the interactions around him so as not to appear too obtrusive, he spent the rest of the time trying his best to marginalize himself.
But unfortunately, every time he wanted to reduce his presence, Ran Wan, who had saved his life in the morning, would always pull him into the topic and task without leaving a trace, and focus more on him. , giving him more exposure, and Duan Mingcheng, who has partnered with him once, seems to regard him as a junior who can be supported and is always very cooperative, not to mention Zhuang, who has instantly become a fan of him since he saw him throwing a knife. Zhuang Xiangyang was in love, and she would pester him and ask questions whenever she had the chance. The camera had been hovering around them since Zhuang Xiangyang approached them.
Shen Kong: "..."
It's really hard to be a transparent person.
Before the sun went down, the group arrived at the camping spot chosen by the program crew.
I saw six tents that had not yet been set up quietly lying side by side in an open space. Everyone stared at the open space in silence for a while, then turned their heads in unison and looked at the program director reproachfully. The director with eyes calmly walked forward, cleared his throat, and said:
"Now a new task is given to everyone. Whichever guest sets up the tent first will get a mysterious reward from the program team."
None of the people present had any experience in setting up tents, so of course they could only rely on their intuition to do whatever they wanted. Everyone was in a hurry and full of jokes. One moment they were trying to hold up the tip of the tent that had fallen over, and the next moment they were trying to pull the rope that suddenly collapsed. With two pairs of arms growing out, the camera recorded everyone's busy and embarrassing moments in detail. It will surely gain a lot of discussion after the broadcast.
Half an hour later, everyone collapsed on the ground exhausted, but the tents still had not been erected. They were all crooked, with one side tilted up and the other sunken in. They looked like six crooked faces.
Shen Kong was equally tired.
The tent was too easy to control in his hands, and it was really difficult to look unskilled. He even had to deliberately sabotage his own steps before he finally synchronized with everyone else's progress and set up the tent in a crooked way.
In the end, the instructor personally demonstrated for everyone, and everyone finally set up their tents in a standard look.
In the end, since everyone was unqualified, not only did no one get a special reward, but everyone was punished.
With a strange smile on his face, the instructor took out the mysterious punishment that he had prepared for a long time.
The huge leaves are covered with fleshy, soft and big insects that move around, squirming in the leaves that are gathered into a bowl shape, but every time they climb to the edge of the leaves, they are always shaken back down by the instructor with quick eyes and hands. .
Ran Wan, who was timid, couldn't help but scream at the first glance. Even the men couldn't help but look jealous. After a few cautious glances, they couldn't accept it and dared not look in that direction again. .
Only Shen Kong swallowed silently.
Four years ago, when he was on a mission in the jungle, he ate these bugs for a week. Under the conditions of food shortage at that time, these bugs were simply a delicacy. Not only were they rich in protein, but they were also juicy and tender, and the meat almost melted in your mouth. , it was delicious whether alive or cooked. He and the other three free mercenaries who traveled with him almost ate the bugs within a ten-mile radius until they became extinct before finally reluctantly switching to other species for exploitation.
I didn't expect to meet him again here, it was just fate.
After enjoying everyone's frightened eyes, the instructor finally mercifully told everyone that the insects would be divided into three parts, two cooked and one raw. In the next task, the group of guests who completed the slowest task would receive the food. Hearing the punishment of the insect, everyone ignored the restraint and tried their best to not fall behind others. Shen Kong continued to paddle all the way, trying his best to maintain his useless persona.
—It doesn’t matter to him whether it’s raw or cooked.
Because they are all delicious.
The sun slowly set in the west and finally sank in the sky. The golden red of the setting sun painted the dense primitive jungle with a beautiful paint color, and then was gradually replaced by the deep night. The color of the sky gradually deepened from a colorful light blue, and finally It precipitated into a dark deep blue, as profound and beautiful as spreading ink.
A day of shooting made everyone very tired.
The bonfire was lit in the center of the camp, making a crackling sound. The flames seemed extremely small under the vast sky.
Shen Kong picked up a dead branch from beside him and threw it into the fire.
The burning bonfire made a loud "crackling" sound, and the sudden fire light imprinted on Shen Kong's face, reflected in his pupils, and danced on his deeply contoured face, as if it were shadow and light. Floating and competing with each other, he seemed to be separated from the entire world.
Ran Wan, who was sitting next to him, folded her cloak tightly around her body, looked up at the clean and clear night sky, and sighed as if sighing:
"What a beauty… "
Shen Kong followed his gaze and looked up.
There are thousands of stars in the high sky, flashing slightly, gathering into a spectacular and moving picture.
"Yeah yeah."
"You can't see so many stars in the city."
The sighs in his ears seemed to come from the distant sky, as distant and blurry as through a layer of mist. Shen Kong stared deeply at the deep and vast boundless night sky in front of him, slowly squinting his eyes, amber-colored There was no trace of the jumping fire in his eyes, only a deep and cold silence remained.
Like a lightless abyss, a silent empty well.
Shen Kong suddenly called the system in his mind:
"System, are you there?"
The system that had been silent for a long time seemed to pop out of his mind all the time, and a monotonous mechanical voice sounded in his ears:
"Yes, do you need anything?"
Shen Kong lowered his head, his neck aching slightly from looking up for too long. He slowly looked around at the people sitting around the bonfire, his real eyes slowly looking at their faces with different expressions illuminated by the fire. Crossed it slowly, and then asked in my mind:
"I thought you said this was a world in a book, right?"
The system's answer was neat and without hesitation: "Yes, that's right."
Shen Kong reached out and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, twisting it gently with his fingertips. The fine particles of soil fell from between his fingers and merged silently into the soil in the night.
"I remember that when I first came here, you recited the content of this novel to me once. If I remember correctly, this is a cliché love story in the entertainment industry, and the protagonists are two men. The whole story The plot revolves around these two people and ends when they achieve enlightenment, right?"
The system's voice said without any fluctuation: "Yes."
Shen Kong's eyes darkened and he continued to ask:
"Then how does such a cliché third-rate love novel with a bloody plot as its main content build such a huge worldview?"
The system did not answer, and Shen Kong had no intention of waiting for its answer. Instead, he continued to speak on his own:
"It stands to reason that although Han Li is the villain with the most scenes in the novel, he is not the protagonist after all. However, his entire life since childhood has been shaped carefully and completely. From the kidnapper who kidnapped him to every classmate in his high school class, he has an independent personality. The same is true for the people sitting in front of the campfire with me. If I ask anyone about his life experience, he can tell me the whole story. In addition, there is the whole story. The political situation and geographical pattern of the world, and even the plants, trees, snakes and insects in these mountains and forests, some are the same as the world I used to have, and some are completely similar to the world I used to have, and it is obviously this Something unique to the world—"
There was still silence on the other side of the system, and Shen Kong had long been used to it pretending to be dead, so he continued talking without caring:
"But no matter what kind of thing, it is not something that a novel with love as the main line will spend space describing. It is the shaping of the world that is beyond the context of the story."
He paused, but there was still silence in his ears, and the system seemed to have disappeared from his mind.
Shen Kong lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on his palms illuminated by the bonfire. There were still traces of soil between the lines on his palms:
"I have noticed the sense of dissonance here before, but it is only now that I have entered this jungle that I finally have enough evidence. After all, I am familiar enough with the primitive jungle, at least familiar enough to distinguish species. The difference - I’m not surprised that things in the novel are exactly the same as in reality. After all, it can be explained by the default transplantation of realistic concepts, but why are there different background structures outside the main plot? "
He paused and asked calmly:
“So where did these things come from that the author could not possibly have taken the trouble to describe?”
—In other words, is the world I walked into really a book? "
The author has something to say: More updates
