Chapter 62

Afterward, Li Yong hurriedly called the rescue team to notify them to head out for a rescue; Wu De was not a monster like Xiao Yi.

And as their wilderness challenge show became more and more popular, many official departments were also paying attention to this program, so they could not allow, nor could they afford, any major mistakes.

But after the call was connected, Li Yong's expression became even uglier.

The rescue team told Li Yong that in the weather with drifting heavy snow, the helicopter could not take off directly now; the danger index was too high.

Moreover, it was very easy for a speedboat to get lost in this Lake Ryan in the dark of the vast heavy snow.

Therefore, to safely head out to rescue Wu De, they would at least have to wait until dawn.

But now, there were about two hours until dawn, and by the time the rescue team reached Wu De, they would need to waste at least an hour and a half on the road.

However, if Wu De were truly crushed under the heavy snow and couldn't save himself, after such a long time, the rescue might be too late.

After all, this was the Arctic Circle where a blizzard had hit, and Wu De was someone who had been starving for several days; his physical condition should have already dropped to a low point.

In fact, at this time, it wasn't just Li Yong who had a headache; some of the audience in the broadcast room who liked watching Wu De starve were also anxious.

Although Wu De's broadcast room was relatively plain and boring compared to Xiao Yi's and Wu En's, they just liked this plainness in the broadcast room.

"My De wouldn't have really had an accident, would he? This snow is truly heavy!"

"I warned him long ago that his shelter was too simple and would be very dangerous in winter, but he just didn't improve it; he's truly too lazy."

"My De isn't what you think; doesn't repairing a shelter require physical strength? Doesn't physical strength require consuming food? Where would my De have the physical strength and food to support him in repairing that shelter?"

"Why can Xiao Shen build a heated brick bed log cabin, while Wu De doesn't even have the strength to repair his shelter? Can't he go hunting?"

"Are you new here? Do you think everyone is as abnormal as Xiao Shen? When my De had physical strength in the early stages, didn't he go hunting often? It's just that his area is too barren."

"To tell the truth, the wilderness area is actually quite barren, but compared to others, Wu De's wilderness survival skills are too poor, so it's not strange that he's in this situation today."

"That's true; Wu De's biggest advantage is being able to endure hunger, while other wilderness skills are not as good as others. Perhaps he's about the same as Zhong Yicheng, but in my opinion, Wu De is also the closest to us ordinary people. People like Xiao Shen are the mutants among humans, which is why I like watching Wu De's broadcast room."

"Everyone, shouldn't we be worried about Wu De's safety right now? What's the use of saying those things?"

"That's right, what we should be worried about now is Wu De's safety, but it's a pity; after this incident, Wu De will probably choose to withdraw from the competition."

……

……

"Wu De applies to withdraw from the 'Wilderness Challenge: 100 Days in the Arctic' competition."

Just at this moment, the control room received Wu De's distress signal. Upon hearing the voice of the smart Xiao Bing, Li Yong, who was in sorrow, felt a joy.

Now that Wu De could actively press the distress signal, it proved that he was still alive.

Afterward, Wu De's broadcast room was reconnected and began to show images again.

At this time, both the control room and the audience in the broadcast room saw Wu De's current situation.

Wu De, having just crawled out of the ruins, first simply used the wood from the collapsed house to support a triangular wooden frame, then used a tarp to block it on top.

Afterward, he found the dry wood and sand grass he had stored in the ruins to prepare for winter, and used the fire starter he carried with him to light it for warmth.

Seeing this scene, Li Yong couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief; with this wood for warmth, Wu De should be able to hold on for four hours.

Afterward, he said to the staff beside him, "Keep a close eye on Wu De's broadcast room; I'm going to call the rescue team again to think of a way."

But after Li Yong left, Wu De directly performed a "divine operation": to make himself warmer, he lit the ruins of his shelter next to him.

In Wu De's view, since he had already sent a distress signal, he believed it wouldn't be long before the rescue team arrived, so he didn't need to store wood anymore.

He even had the mood to sit there and smile at the drone's direction.

"Xiao Bing, turn on the bullet screen area; this should be the last time I chat with the audience on this show."

"Friends, it seems I still overestimated my wilderness survival ability. Actually, on the tenth day of the wilderness challenge, I had already started missing my wife and children."

"But once I thought about how I taught my son that a man must be able to endure loneliness and possess a firm character, I persisted, because I must be responsible for what I said, and I must set an example for my son."

"However, today I will use my own incident to tell my son one thing: if you encounter a situation where you know you might lose your life and still cannot change the status quo, then you must decisively choose to give up and not make a senseless sacrifice."

"Brother De is right; actually, you've already done very well!"

"That's right, although the segment of my De starving will be gone, and this challenge show will lose a lot of fun, safety comes first."

"Brother De, go back this time and prepare well, exercise, and see if you have a chance to be on this show again next time? Then you can win the final grand prize in one go."

"My De can be considered to have suffered a natural disaster; just come back if you have to!"

"Haha, my De's fans are indeed the most Zen! But it's quite good; I just like this atmosphere."

……

……

Just after Wu De finished saying these words, the bullet screens in the broadcast room were full of voices comforting Wu De.

But at this time, a voice suddenly came from the drone, interrupting Wu De, who was still looking at the bullet screens and chatting.

"Contestant Wu De, please try your best to ensure the fire keeps burning; our rescue team will need about 4 hours to reach you."

Li Yong was also a bit speechless at this time; he himself hadn't expected that in the time it took to make a phone call, Wu De had actually burned down the ruins of his shelter.

"Whoosh!"

After hearing this, the audience in the broadcast room only heard a "whoosh," and then saw Wu De disappear from everyone's sight.

When they saw Wu De's figure again, they saw him struggling to extinguish the ruins of the shelter he had just lit.

Wu De himself hadn't expected the search and rescue team to be so pit-like! It would actually take such a long time to arrive here.

This damn show, this damn weather!

"……"

"……"

After seeing this scene, everyone in the broadcast room couldn't help but tease him.

"Ahem, originally in this situation, one should feel sad, but I really couldn't help it and laughed uncharitably. Sorry, my De."

"Sorry, my De, haha, haha, let me laugh for a while; this production team is too wicked, only telling him the arrival time of the rescue team after my De lit the shelter."

"My De is truly too pitiful! You are the one who suffered the most damage from my Qingningzi's jinxing."

"My De is truly too difficult; who did my De offend? Sorry, my De, let me laugh for a while!"

"Sorry, my De!"

"Sorry, my De!"

……

……

Wu De's broadcast room was now covered with "Sorry, my De," and the number of people in his broadcast room broke 2 million for the first time, and this was even at night.

At this time, Li Yong in the control room was also a bit embarrassed; although this was the show effect he wanted, he really didn't have this thought beforehand.

Afterward, he couldn't help but glare at the intern next to him, and then he secretly prayed for Wu De in his heart.

Among these guests, there wasn't a single one who could save him any worry.
