Chapter 16: The Captain was right!

~9 min read 1,617 words

"Dr. Xue, what is the specific physical condition of contestant Xiao Yi?"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Mengsan returned and asked the doctor who was examining Xiao Yi's body.

"All physical indicators are fine, and they are even far higher than the level of a normal person. As for whether there are any hidden injuries, we cannot detect them with the equipment we brought."

"However, I just took his pulse, and his pulse is steady and powerful, which does not look like a sign of hidden injuries. Overall, he is fine, and he might even be more robust than you."

When saying this, Dr. Xue couldn't help but look at Xiao Yi, unable to figure out how Xiao Yi, who was surviving in the wilderness, managed to keep all his physical indicators normal.

Finally, Dr. Xue continued to speak with a responsible attitude, "I still hope contestant Xiao Yi can withdraw from the competition and go for a comprehensive check-up to ensure his own safety. After all, he just faced a black bear."

Seeing Dr. Xue say this, Shen Mengsan immediately became conflicted, but finally looked at Xiao Yi and asked.

"Contestant Xiao Yi, how do you choose yourself?"

Xiao Yi, upon hearing this, was also overjoyed. Shen Mengsan's words at least proved that he had not lost his qualification to continue the competition.

For Xiao Yi, this was the best news. I've already faced a bear, who else is there in the Arctic wilderness? He was determined to win that ten million.

"No need for further check-ups. That black bear didn't even touch me..."

Then, recalling for a moment, it seemed his fist had made contact with the black bear's big face, so he changed his words.

"There were two brief contacts in a short time, but they were just touch-and-go. It's not a big problem. I know my own physical condition, everything is normal."

Seeing that Xiao Yi had already made his own decision, Shen Mengsan and the others didn't say anything more. After all, this was Xiao Yi's own choice.

Then Shen Mengsan continued, "Since that's the case, our mission today can be considered complete, so we will take our leave. I also wish contestant Xiao Yi all the best in his upcoming challenges."

When saying this, Shen Mengsan couldn't help but shake his head and smile lightly.

This was only the second day of the survival challenge, and this guy Xiao Yi had already summoned their rescue team twice, although both were passive summons.

Then, under Xiao Yi's gaze, Shen Mengsan led the search and rescue team away from here.

As for Xiao Yi at this time, he was also slowly following far behind, thinking to himself that this shouldn't count as cheating!

In Xiao Yi's view, whether it was air rescue or water rescue, Shen Mengsan would pass by his shelter today.

If it was water rescue, the road in front of his shelter should be the fastest and most convenient route to get here.

As for air rescue, there was only a large flat and open area not far from his shelter nearby where a rescue helicopter could land.

As for whether Shen Mengsan and his party discovered Xiao Yi's following movements, no one knew.

After all, strictly speaking, Xiao Yi's actions didn't count as a violation. Wilderness survival is about adapting to local conditions and adapting to people.

And Xiao Yi being able to follow Shen Mengsan and the others' arrival could also be considered a kind of adaptation to people.

As for the main control room at this time, Li Yong also discovered this point, but he didn't intend to remind Shen Mengsan.

After all, Xiao Yi choosing to follow Shen Mengsan was also the result of his own wisdom.

Of course, if Shen Mengsan hadn't taken the road in front of Xiao Yi's shelter, Xiao Yi would have had to accept his bad luck, and might even have had to take a longer detour. There was still an element of gambling on luck in this.

Obviously, Xiao Yi's guess was not wrong in the end. This time, Shen Mengsan and the others came by helicopter for the rescue.

And the rescue location for the helicopter was exactly the large open space not far in front of his shelter, where there was already quite a bit of accumulated water.

As for Xiao Yi at this time, he was in no mood to pay attention to the rescue team, but returned to his shelter to check today's losses.

When Xiao Yi checked, he found that it was not bad inside. Although there was some rain leakage, it was still within the range Xiao Yi could accept.

When the sun rises tomorrow, taking these water-logged items out to dry, all the moisture could be evaporated in about half a day.

Of course, the only thing Xiao Yi was glad about was that he chose to build his shelter in a relatively high location here.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about the location where the helicopter landed; after all, it was more open and easier to build there. However, after weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Yi still chose the higher ground.

Afterward, Xiao Yi planned to rest, after all, he had consumed too much energy today.

In the first half of his life, he, Xiao Yi, had never experienced such exciting and unlucky things as today.

Lying on his self-made simple little bed, recalling all the experiences of today, Xiao Yi himself felt it was magical.

As for the two quilts Xiao Yi chose from his items, one had been more than half soaked by the rain, fortunately, the other was only a bit damp.

This quilt that hadn't been soaked should be enough for him to get through a night that wasn't too cold today without much of a problem.

Finally, Xiao Yi spoke toward the direction of the drone.

"Friends, today was a day of exercising the mind, and also a day that makes us realize the dangers of the wilderness at all times. In the coming days, we should be more cautious and careful. Let's end our livestream here for today! Everyone, close the livestream room and go get some rest."

After speaking, Xiao Yi closed his eyes to rest. To be honest, two days ago, he was still wandering in the red lights and green wine of the city.

And today, he was in the remote wilderness of a no-man's land. To say that Xiao Yi had completely adapted would definitely be a lie.

"It looks like my Xiao Shen is indeed feeling tired. Since that's the case, I'm going to sleep too. Looking forward to Xiao Shen's even more exciting wilderness challenge tomorrow."

"How come I didn't see it? And I feel he should be full of energy right now. After all, he just beat up the bear cub."

"You can't just look at the surface of things. How dangerous it was just now, if you weren't the person involved, how could you understand?"

"That's right, it was indeed extremely dangerous just now. Fortunately, there was no direct conflict with the black bear. After all, no matter how strong Xiao Shen is, he only has a bit more strength. In the end, he is still a mortal body. How can his resistance to blows compare to that black bear?"

"That's well said. With the black bear's thick skin and flesh, even if it took a few punches from Xiao Shen, it would still have residual combat power. But what if Xiao Shen took a swipe from that black bear? The consequences are unimaginable."

"These are all things that didn't happen. Everyone, don't overthink or dwell on it. Everyone, go wash up and sleep now."

"Brothers who like to watch Xiao Shen sleep, you can continue. I'm leaving first. Brothers, see you tomorrow."

……

……

"Captain, I don't understand, how did that guy escape from the black bear's hands?"

At this time, inside the helicopter, a member of the search and rescue team couldn't help but curiously ask Shen Mengsan.

When they received the notice, the main control room told them that Xiao Yi was blocked by a black bear in a narrow area.

Basically, in this situation, it is impossible for a person to escape from a black bear alone.

In the view of these professional personnel, finding a corner favorable for defense and waiting for rescue while confronting the black bear might have been the most correct choice at the time.

After all, in terms of speed, an adult black bear's speed can reach 48 kilometers per hour, which is completely double that of a normal adult human.

Or rather, humans cannot outrun bears!

What's more, when they found Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi had already appeared in an open area, and there were no traces of the black bear around.

Obviously, how Xiao Yi escaped danger touched their knowledge blind spot.

Seeing someone ask, others also looked at Shen Mengsan in surprise. Obviously, he was not the only one who had doubts about this in his heart.

Everyone hoped to get a reasonable train of thought from this experienced captain.

Seeing this scene, Shen Mengsan himself was speechless. How would he know? In fact, he was also very curious in his heart.

If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Yi had just escaped danger, after meeting with Xiao Yi, Shen Mengsan would have couldn't help but ask Xiao Yi about the specific process.

Seeing everyone's eyes, Shen Mengsan could only speak and say, "Go back and watch the replay, won't you know what happened?"

"……"

"……"

"That's right! The Captain was right!"
