Chapter 150: A Torture
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The next day, Zhou Guang and Lu Zhi resumed their journey.
Lu Zhi knew that the deadly animals released by the production team were all fake, so she was not afraid of the cobras and even tried to get herself killed to be eliminated as soon as possible.
Her face hurt from the wind at this horrible place. Three bottles of water were not much, and she had already finished them. There were five bags of food for each person, but the content was meager. After a day, she only had one bag left.
In this situation, if she was alone in the desert, she would either die of thirst or hunger—and that would get her eliminated. However, the process was too long, and Lu Zhi could not hold on.
When she saw a cobra by the stone, her eyes lit up and she ran over.
Zhou Guang frowned and grabbed Lu Zhi by the back of her neck. Lu Zhi turned around and scolded, “What are you doing? Can’t you talk things out properly? I was almost strangled to death by you.”
Zhou Guang usually presented himself as a gentleman, and when he showed his childish and cute side on the show, netizens did not think that his image was ruined. Instead, they felt that he was more approachable.
In spite of it, fact was that he had a bad temper. When he was studying music abroad, people often came to him for trouble because he looked like he would not say a word even if he was beaten up. In the end, he beat them up and sent them away.
After returning to the country, Zhou Guang had restrained himself a lot, but his fierce nature was still there. When he showed his displeasure, Lu Zhi, who had always looked down on him, did not dare to say anything.
“That snake is venomous.” Zhou Guang took a few deep breaths before he managed to suppress his anger. His beautiful and charming eyes were extremely cold. “Even if you want to die, don’t die now. We’ll talk about it after we find my sister.”
Lu Zhi bullied the weak and feared the strong. Seeing him like this, she said unwillingly, “Let go of me first. I just saw that I’ve finished my food and wanted to find something to eat. This snake is decent.”
Zhou Guang stared at her, and Lu Zhi felt an inexplicable fear. She added, “I know what I’m doing.”
Zhou Guang scoffed and moved away from her.
Lu Zhi caught the snake without a knife, and she had eaten her food so quickly. It was obvious that she had deliberately wanted to be eliminated.
There was no need for him to stop someone who wanted to die.
He stared coldly at Lu Zhi, prepared to strip her of her equipment after she was eliminated.
Lu Zhi reached for the snake with her hand directly. The cobra hissed and bit her hand.
The strong venom rendered Lu Zhi’s hand almost immobile. She knelt on the sand, rolling around in pain, as she clutched her wrist.
The cobra bit her a few more times before it quickly slipped away.
Lu Zhi’s screams became louder. She kept scolding people, and Zhou Guang even heard his name.
After a few minutes, Lu Zhi stopped screaming and moving.
Was she dead?
That should not be the case. Even though cobras were highly venomous and fatal, it would still take more than ten minutes for the venom to spread. It had only been five minutes.
Zhou Guang felt a little strange and carefully walked over, only to see Lu Zhi’s eyes wide open and tearing. She was lying on the ground motionless, only her lips moved as she muttered in a low voice, “It hurts so much… Why isn’t the helicopter here to pick me up yet? Shouldn’t I be eliminated already?”
After another five minutes, Zhou Guang patiently waited for some time only for Lu Zhi to be alive and well. He stared at her wound in disbelief.
The watch could determine a person’s physical condition, and those who did not have the ability to move could apply for elimination. Lu Zhi’s heart rate was currently stable. Other than the insignificant bite marks on her skin, she was no different from a normal person.
Zhou Guang looked at her. “You’re immune to snake venom? Or was that not a cobra?”
Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembering the director’s meaningful words before they rejoined the show.
“As the only two returning guests, we’ve prepared a small gift for you. You’ll know when you get on the show.”
So this was the gift? To prevent them from easily eliminating themselves?
When Lu Zhi thought of the last bag of food she had left, she could not help but break down. When she turned to look at Zhou Guang, though, she became spirited again.
Right, she was not alone. She still had Zhou Guang. They were in the same team, so they had to take care of each other.
Lu Zhi’s eyes flitted and she said with conviction, “Zhou Guang, how much water do you have left? Give me some, I’m going to die of thirst.”
Zhou Guang went speechless.
“What did you say?” he asked with difficulty.
“You’re so young. Why is your hearing so bad?” Lu Zhi glared at him. “I said I’m thirsty. There’s no water here, and we’re on the same team. What’s wrong with you giving me some?”
[Zhou-ge is so speechless about it.]
[What’s this woman doing? Why didn’t the snake eliminate her just now? She’s specially a.s.signed by the crew to torture Zhou-ge, right?]
