A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A (GL) - Chapter 9
Led by the venomous snake, they arrived not at a dark cave, but at a crevice cave.
The cave was very spacious, with a huge inverted V-shaped entrance formed by the tilt of two mountains. At the top left corner of the entrance, about twenty meters high, there was a huge “skylight”. If it were daytime, the light would be very sufficient.
Walking inside, the crevice cave was very spacious, but the area where they could step was not large and was sandy.
There was a shallow pool of calm water around, with several rock pillars eroded by the crevice and water standing on the water surface, connected to the dome-like top of the mountain.
The shallow water was very clear, as if it was rainwater that had been blown in by the wind and rain, or accumulated from the “skylight”.
People looked particularly small in the cave.
With fresh water and a place to shelter from the rain and rest, this crevice cave was like a natural haven compared to the harsh outdoor survival environment.
After bringing people here, the venomous snake disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Di You looked up at the dome and looked around, exclaiming, “The conditions here are too good. There’s even fresh water, and we don’t even need to go out to find water resources.”
Fu Man still remembered the task, and asked the director through the lapel microphone and camera, “Has the other team finished building their shelter? Are we faster or are they faster?”
The director looked at the other screen. Chu Xingchun’s team was actually quite fast, but compared to Li Yingxue’s team, they were half a beat slower. They had just finished putting up the palm leaves on top, while Li Yingxue’s team was already standing in the natural crevice cave.
The director had no choice but to announce, “Li Yingxue’s team is the first to complete the task of building a shelter and has won the chance to draw a new rookie gift pack.”
When Chu Xingchun’s team heard this news, they were all stunned.
“How is that possible?!” A male member of Chu Xingchun’s team was puzzled.
“How could they be so fast? Not only did they find food, but they also built a shelter? It’s faster than a rocket.”
The other members had some opinions, and Chu Xingchun, as the captain, although he didn’t say anything, his expression was not very good.
They had failed two tasks in a row, and others had taken the lead, while they were still trying their best to build a shelter, which made them seem incompetent.
Seeing that someone had objections, the director had to tell the whole story, “They actually found a crevice cave, so they were faster than you.”
As soon as these words were said, the members of Chu Xingchun’s team looked a little embarrassed.
Soon, a violent storm came, breaking the awkwardness.
Chu Xingchun’s team could only rush to the small shed they had just built to take shelter from the rain for the time being.
A male member said, “Brother Chu, we’re not doing too badly. At least we’ve built a shelter to block the wind and rain. Let’s wait for the rain to stop tomorrow and then go find food and take on new tasks.”
Chu Xingchun felt a little better after hearing this, and he squeezed in with the others to prepare to go to sleep.
Who would have thought that a bucket of rain would be blown directly onto them, drenching them all. Although there were bamboos around to reinforce it, the wind and rain came from the side and then from the front, and almost all members of Chu Xingchun’s team were affected.
So, they awkwardly went out again, took some of the remaining palm leaves on the ground, and blocked them in front of the shed to barely resist the wind and rain.
In the eyes of the live broadcast audience, their team looked like a group of drowned chickens.
[Compared to Li Yingxue’s team, Chu Xingchun’s team is so pitiful]
[It’s a good thing that Li Yingxue didn’t team up with Chu Xingchun, otherwise she would have suffered too]
[One side is living in a luxurious “cave”, while the other side is struggling in a broken shed, who wouldn’t feel sorry for them]
Chu Xingchun’s fans were already restless when they saw that Li Yingxue had completed the first task by finding coconut tree. Now that they saw that Li Yingxue’s team had directly settled in a crevice cave and completed the second task, and had won two new rookie gift pack, they were completely broken. While trying to save face, they were also frantically smearing Li Yingxue:
[Chu Xingchun’s starting point was good, who knew what would happen later? If you can do it, you go ahead]
[If it weren’t for Fu Man understanding snake language, could Li Yingxue’s team have had this condition? Chu Xingchun’s team at least has a shed, and they built it together. Their cohesion is much stronger than Li Yingxue’s team. As for the other team, who was it that almost had internal strife? It’s so funny]
[Ordinary people can have Fu Man’s ability? Don’t come and scold us. You’ve gained so much and are still acting like a spoiled child, saying that in the end, you still rely on others]
And Li Yingxue’s fans were very happy now. Seeing their sister’s team living in a “cave” while the competing team was suffering from wind and rain outside, like a group of chickens, they were overjoyed.
As soon as they saw Chu Xingchun’s fans trying to save face and belittle Li Yingxue, they were not polite, and directly attacked them with sarcasm:
[Chu Xingchun is simply incompetent. Thinking that having a machete and a first-aid kit makes him invincible, when choosing a location, which big genius was showing off his star status, trying to get the two girls to agree with his opinion, who knew that the vote was against him, and he was slapped in the face]
[Chu Xingchun’s team has cohesion? I think the other three amateurs might, but Chu Xingchun is just a captain who talks loudly but doesn’t do much]
[Yeah, yeah, yeah, Chu Xingchun’s leadership is top-notch, and the team’s cohesion is strong, so your main character’s team is living in a broken shed, and you are huddled together in the wind and rain. Our Li Yingxue’s team has no leadership, no cohesion, and even has internal strife, but hey, we have food and drink, and we even live in a “cave”]
Li Yingxue’s fans have also learned to be smart. In the past, they would only fall into the trap of self-proof, explaining that Li Yingxue did not rely on others, and saying that she had her own considerations.
This would only go on and on. Now, they directly combined positive and negative statements, not only breaking the other side’s arguments and logic, but also stabbing the black fans in the heart.
They realized that the more obvious the contrast, the more the other side would be defeated.
The live broadcast room was in chaos.
On the beach of the deserted island, the small shed built by Chu Xingchun’s team was leaking more and more as the rain intensified. The ground was damp, and even the palm leaves used as a mat were torn.
A girl named Chai Qiuyan complained, “Are we going to spend the whole night like this?”
Another girl, Le Xi, said in a low voice, “Our clothes are all wet.”
The male member looked at Chu Xingchun’s expression, “Let’s wait a little longer. Maybe the rain will stop in an hour or two.”
Chu Xingchun glanced at them, “You two girls should move inside. It will be better inside. I and Li Shengkai will hold up the palm leaves outside.”
Chu Xingchun was showing his consideration, although he knew that the situation inside wasn’t much better.
However, he never expected that the two girls wouldn’t listen to him and directly stated, “It’s also leaking inside, we can’t stay like this all night, we can’t hold on.”
Chai Qiuyan agreed, “Yes, didn’t the director say that Li Yingxue’s team found a crevice cave? The crevice caves are very big, why don’t we go and join them?”
Le Xi nodded vigorously, “I agree, anyway, Li Yingxue’s team has completed both tasks, there’s no point in us insisting here, let’s go join them, save our energy, and we’ll have the energy to compete with them for other tasks later.”
“Li Shengkai, what do you think?” the two girls asked the male member.
Li Shengkai hesitated and looked at Chu Xingchun. In fact, when he was cutting bamboo with Chu Xingchun in the afternoon, he had made a deal with him. As long as he supported Chu Xingchun’s opinions in this variety show and followed his lead, he would give him a large sum of money after the show ended.
Of course, this kind of deal was done secretly without the cameraman, and neither the audience nor the director knew about it.
“Brother Chu, what do you think?” Li Shengkai didn’t dare to say directly that he actually agreed to join Li Yingxue’s team, so he could only leave the choice to Chu Xingchun, expressing his attitude, “Wherever you go, Brother Chu, I’ll follow.”
Chu Xingchun thought for a moment, then looked at the increasingly heavy rain, knowing that if they persisted, there would be no good results, “Since both girls have spoken, why don’t we go join them?”
With their agreement, the two girls were overjoyed and went directly to the director’s team to discuss. After getting the route, they headed towards the crevice cave where Li Yingxue was.
On the other side, after examining the cave, Li Yingxue planned to have everyone split up before the rain, with two people going to get some palm leaves to use as mats, and two people going outside to collect some dry branches.
To save trouble, Li Yingxue decided to assign people directly, “Fu Man, and…”
Before she could finish speaking, Fu Man interrupted her, “I’ll team up with Di You.”
Li Yingxue was stunned for a moment, and looked at her for a while, “Okay, you and Di You go get some palm leaves, and Tang Youyi and I will collect some dry branches.”
After assigning the tasks, the two small teams set off in different directions.
Li Yingxue and Tang Youyi’s small team were lucky and collected a lot of firewood, returning to the cave before the rain started.
Tang Youyi stood at the entrance, looking at the sky and the increasingly heavy rain, and couldn’t help but worry.
“Captain, what if they have trouble?”
Li Yingxue lit the dry branches with a matchbox and said indifferently, “I don’t know.”
Just then, Tang Youyi suddenly said, “Captain, they’re back!”
Li Yingxue looked in the direction of the sound and saw Fu Man and Di You dragging seven or eight long palm leaves back, followed by a cameraman carrying a camera.
They seemed quite happy.
Tang Youyi stepped forward and took the palm leaves from Di You, “Are you okay? Why did you come back so late?”
Di You waved her hand, “It’s okay, I’ll tell you, we caught a wild chicken in the forest! Really, Fu Man and I worked hard to catch it, otherwise we would have come back earlier.”
Hearing this, Li Yingxue subconsciously looked at what Fu Man was holding. Sure enough, she was holding a chicken in her hand.
Fu Man stopped in front of her, let go of the palm leaves she was dragging, and handed the chicken to her, raising her eyebrows slightly, “Captain, I caught a chicken.”
Li Yingxue looked at the plump chicken in front of her, and then silently looked at the woman in front of her, “Not bad.”
“Just not bad?” Fu Man was not satisfied with this answer.
Li Yingxue said, “What do you want me to say?”
