Wang Xing “……”
What’s going on? After hearing the voice of the producer Li Yong from the drone, Wang Xing froze in shock inside Live Room 1.
Looking at his swollen foot, he had previously believed he would be the first eliminated, but his soldier’s resilience made him choose to persevere.
“Activate Xiao Bing No. 1…”
……
……
At this moment, Wei Wenchang in Live Room 2 reacted with nearly the same expression as Wang Xing upon hearing the news.
He even secretly sighed in relief—he was an outdoor streamer, but everyone knows the truth about his actual outdoor skills.
There are so many outdoor masters out there, especially in this modern civilization.
The reason he appeared so skilled in his videos was naturally due to staged shots and predetermined routines.
Originally, Wei Wenchang had signed up for this show out of sheer desperation.
At the time, under fan pressure, every outdoor streamer online had registered—and no one dared refuse.
He was just unlucky—he was randomly selected by the note system, and he knew many colleagues were now waiting to laugh at his failure on the show.
So Wei Wenchang was truly afraid of being the first eliminated—not only would the grand prize be out of reach, but his streaming career might be over.
Fortunately, he wasn’t the first eliminated; now he could only push himself to hold on, at least until he reached the prize zone, to give his fans some answer.
As for Wu De in Live Room 7, upon hearing the news, he merely lifted his eyelids slightly.
The challenge had reached its fifth day, and in these five days, he had eaten only two meals—he was barely managing to survive himself.
Jiang Yiyi in Live Room 10 was somewhat surprised.
She had exchanged a few words with Mo De Kai En before the competition and believed that foreign uncle was undoubtedly an expert in wilderness survival.
She never expected he would voluntarily withdraw on the morning of the fifth day; this left her curious and slightly saddened, after which she activated the comment stream to check the details.
Mu Tingwei in Live Room 3 reacted with alarm upon hearing the news.
He hadn’t expected anyone to be forced out so early, and he didn’t know whether his own luck would hold in the days ahead.
These past few days, his traps had consistently yielded good results—he caught one snow rabbit every day.
Even on the third day of the wilderness, he caught three snow rabbits in a single day—truly a child of fate.
He deserved the nickname “Rabbit Lord” the netizens had given him.
But he didn’t know how long this luck would last; when winter arrived and his fortune ran out, where would he go then?
Mu Tingwei had considered searching for other food to store for winter.
But his fishing skills were worse than Xiao Yi’s, his archery worse than Liu Hong and Wu En’s, his wilderness knowledge worse than Jiang Yiyi’s, and his physical strength worse than Wang Xing’s.
Heaven had only bestowed its luck upon him in the form of rabbit catches.
Even the day before, while fishing, he hadn’t caught a single fish—he nearly tangled his precious fishing line around rocks in the lake.
Wu En in Live Room 5 paid no attention to the news.
He didn’t care who got eliminated first—his only goal was large prey.
As long as he could hunt a bear, even if he himself was eliminated today, he would feel completely satisfied.
Because this was his promise to his beloved son—and a warrior’s proof.
Liu Hong in Live Room 8 felt deeply conflicted after reading the comments.
She felt this person, like herself, was cursed by this land, evoking a sense of shared suffering.
At the same time, she was grateful she had survived—and even dared to aim higher.
As for Zhong Yicheng in Live Room 9, upon hearing someone had voluntarily withdrawn, he felt a deep pang of sorrow.
In the production team’s initial assessment, he, Mu Tingwei, and Xiao Yi were considered the three weakest contestants—some even privately called them the “filler trio.”
After all, Wu De had a special skill to endure hunger, and the others all had prior wilderness experience.
But through the comment section, Zhong Yicheng eventually realized—he was the only fool here.
As for Xiao Yi, his comment section was mostly filled with updates about him.
A hidden wilderness master, possessing strength to wrestle with bears, exceptional sense of smell, and more.
Meanwhile, he had been terrified awake all night by a wolverine.
Fortunately, after the wolverine left, it never returned—otherwise, he didn’t know if he could have survived these days.
And the chubby Mu Tingwei, though not as formidable as Xiao Yi, had incredible luck!
He hadn’t encountered any urgent dangers, and snow rabbits kept “throwing themselves” into his traps every day.
As for Xiao Yi in Live Room 6, he had just woken up.
But who knew that the moment Xiao Yi woke up, he received this shocking news.
Yesterday afternoon, after the woven grass basket he made had passed the weight test, Xiao Yi had hurried to make two more before dark.
After finishing both baskets, he ate some fish meat simply, apologized to his viewers, and went to sleep to rest up—yet this morning…
“Xiao Bing, activate the comment stream!”
Although he hadn’t interacted much with Mo De Kai En, his elimination still left Xiao Yi curious—and even uneasy.
Now that he knew the reason for Mo De Kai En’s elimination, Xiao Yi could only learn from the comment stream.
“Damn, Mo De Kai En is so tragic—four days in the wilderness, two and a half days of diarrhea—he’s cursed with bad luck.”
“Haha, with a stomach like that, how did he even sign up for the wilderness challenge?”
“The look in Mo De Kai En’s eyes as he left broke my heart—especially seeing those fish hanging by his door.”
“Who’s to blame? When he caught the Arctic trout yesterday, he ate the roe raw without heating it—any normal person would’ve been sick, let alone someone still recovering?”
“Yes, someone in the live room predicted today’s outcome, but no one expected it to happen this fast.”
……
……
Looking at the many morning comments, Xiao Yi picked out the key points.
He immediately put down the cold water he had just reached for and quickly started a fire.
In his heart, he mourned for Mo De Kai En—this guy’s bad luck was so extreme he got diarrhea even drinking cold water.
Then Xiao Yi shut down Xiao Bing; now that he knew how Mo De Kai En was eliminated, he naturally had to learn from it.
Indeed, the wilderness allows no mistakes—even an accidental small error can cost you your chance at the million-dollar prize.
……
……
“Boom, boom!”
In the sky, Helicopter 4 circled endlessly; inside it, Mo De Kai En, after initial treatment, looked much more alert.
But he still couldn’t shake the sorrow of being eliminated—until the helicopter landed and he saw two women on the grass, tears streaming down his face involuntarily.
“I’m sorry—I’ve disappointed you.”
“No, Kai En, you’ve done wonderfully—it’s not your fault. You’ll always be our hero, and Aly’s hero.”
