Chapter 1672: I thought you people were vegetarians?
Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
Several days later.
The news spread.
China.
“The first season is coming to an end?”
“No!”
“I haven’t had enough of watching it.”
“Yeah, give us some more episodes!”
“We still haven’t seen Face-smacking Zhang eat an aircraft carrier!”
…
America.
“What?”
“A Man vs. Wild Special?”
“What does that mean?”
“I heard many celebrities will be guest starring.”
“Are you serious?”
…
The UK.
“Lillian’s going too?”
“The UK’s most beautiful woman is participating in Man vs. Wild?”
“Jesus, I have a bad feeling about this!”
“Me too, but I’m also looking forward to it at the same time.”
“Good luck, Lillian! Lillian, you must endure!”
…
Japan.
“There are so many celebrities participating?”
“I must catch the upcoming episodes!”
“I like Xu Meilan.”
“I love Lillian! My goddess!”
…
Korea.
“He even managed to bring Lillian onto the show?”
“It seems like Zhang Ye’s got a pretty big influence.”
“It’s also because Man vs. Wild is super popular.”
“Jacques is another tough guy! Let’s see what kinda sparks fly when he meets Zhang Ye.”
“When does it air? I really want to watch the next episode!”
…
Meanwhile.
Somewhere abroad.
The filming started.
The entire crew had already set up camp in the wild.
Zhang Ye was recording his opening narration. “Today, I’ll be welcoming yet another adventure. But unlike before, I’ll be doing it together with a few friends of mine. For the next three days, I’ll be trying to survive together with them and find our way back into civilization. This will be an extremely tough test for them, as well as for me, so please wish us luck.”
Lillian.
Xu Meilan.
Jacques.
The three guests were already dressed in their full gear.
Xu Meilan asked, “Are we setting off now?”
Zhang Ye smiled and said, “Yes.”
Jacques looked left and right. “You guys are doing this for real?”
“What do you mean by for real?” Zhang Ye asked.
Jacques said, “Are we really going to depend on ourselves to survive for the next three days? There won’t be any food? Or water? Are we supposed to look for all of that ourselves?”
Zhang Ye nodded. “Of course.”
Xu Meilan smiled and said, “That seems like quite a challenge.”
Lillian spoke at this moment. “Zhang’er, did you bring any cigarettes?”
Zhang Ye said in amusement, “Believe me, in another two hours, you won’t be thinking about smoking. Let’s go, it’s time to set off. We need to look for a high point to observe the surrounding terrain. After that, we’ll decide on a plan to survive for the next few days. Everyone, get ready, our adventure is about to begin.”
Everyone started marching off.
An hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
Zhang Ye had to shoulder the responsibility as the team leader and take care of his teammates at every point in time. This was also quite a challenge for him because the team was made up of people who had no experience in surviving in the wilderness. They usually ate and drank well and were all more pampered than the last, so this made the challenge even harder for him.
On the first day.
The performance of his teammates was already leaving him speechless.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, “Look what I found!”
Xu Meilan rolled her eyes and said, “It’s a bug.”
But Zhang Ye said, “No, this is protein.”
Lillian had a look. “Nah, that’s just a bug.”
Zhang Ye corrected her, “It’s food. Come and have a taste.”
Lillian flipped her hair. “I wouldn’t eat something like that even if you tried to kill me.”
Xu Meilan also said firmly, “Count me out as well. I’m a vegetarian.”
Zhang Ye blinked. “Why don’t I roast it for you two?”
“We won’t eat it even if it’s cooked.” The two women expressed a firm stance against it.
Zhang Ye simply shrugged and looked to Jacques. “Jacques? Wanna have a bite?”
Jacques gulped. “I-I guess I’ll give it a try?” He took the unknown bug from Zhang Ye and brought it towards his mouth in fear.
The next second, the tough guy was kneeling!
Jacques started vomiting!
He vomited like he had never vomited before!
Zhang Ye facepalmed. “You didn’t even manage to bulk up on your protein intake and you’re already puking your guts out?”
Jacques yelled, “I’m not eating that anymore! Absolutely not! It’s too disgusting!”
Lillian laughed and said, “I told you not to eat it.”
Zhang Ye said, “Then are you guys just gonna stay hungry?”
Xu Meilan said calmly, “Scientific evidence shows that humans can go seven days without food.”
Lillian laughed and added on, “And three days without water.”
Hearing that, Zhang Ye laughed. “Well, alright.”
At night.
The three guests were each assigned a mission.
Xu Meilan and Lillian were in charge of setting up the shelter.
Meanwhile, Jacques would help Zhang Ye build a snare.
“It’s done!”
“We’ve caught something!”
“Haha!”
The two of them returned, having caught a rabbit.
Xu Meilan said, “What a cute bunny.”
Zhang Ye laughed and said, “I’ll leave the rabbit to you guys while I start the fire.”
Jacques was hungry. “Let’s eat it quickly. I’ll slaughter it.”
Lillian gave him a look. “I think you should set it free.”
Jacques said, “Huh?”
Xu Meilan chipped in, “Right, we can’t eat it. It’s too cute.”
Lillian curled her lips and said, “Jacques, if you eat such a cute rabbit, I’ll look down on you.”
“How cruel!” Xu Meilan harrumphed.
Jacques was extremely embarrassed. He immediately turned on Zhang Ye. “Zhang Ye was the one who caught it. It has nothing to do with me. Actually, I don’t want to eat it either. I don’t like taking lives.”
Lillian nodded and said, “That’s the spirit, quickly release it then.”
Jacques quietly released the rabbit under the egging of the two women.
Zhang Ye who was standing far off in the distance trying to build the fire noticed it as well, but he didn’t stop them and just smiled slightly. Sun Kuang, who was filming this, exchanged a look with Zhang Ye. They both smiled.
The shelter was built.
The four of them laid down on the dry grass bedding.
“The night is so beautiful.”
“Yeah, it’s just that I feel a little hungry.”
“It’s not just a little, I’m extremely hungry.”
“I thought that there would be some wild vegetation out here.”
“Let’s bear with it a little. It’s only going to be for three days.”
“Yeah, we’ll get used the hunger very quickly.”
“Only a fool would eat a strange bug like that!”
The three of them were encouraging one another.
Meanwhile, Zhang Ye was already fast asleep and snoring.
The next day.
Early in the morning.
When Zhang Ye woke up, he discovered that no one was around. Then he heard some shouting and cheering in the distance. It turned out to be from Lillian and Xu Meilan. It was only then that he realized that the three people had woken up earlier than him, or perhaps they had not slept a wink at all for the entire night? So he got up and went outside to have a look. If he didn’t do that, it would have been fine. But upon seeing them, he was utterly dumbfounded.
Lillian was shouting, “Catch it!”
Xu Meilan’s eyes were bloodshot. “It ran over there!”
Lillian yelled, “Jacques, what are you doing! Speed up!”
Xu Meilan said, “Don’t let it get away!”
Meanwhile, Jacques was pouncing around in the grass. “I can’t catch it! Ah! There’s a snake over here!”
Lillian’s eyes lit up. “The snake will do too!”
Xu Meilan roared, “Catch it! Catch them all!”
Zhang Ye said in a stunned manner, “What are you three doing?”
Jacques said, “Aiyo, Director Zhang, come over and give us a hand!”
Xu Meilan said, “Why did you only just get up!”
Lillian said, “Catch it, Zhang’er! We’re all depending on you for breakfast!”
Sun Kuang was capturing the entire scene from the side. He was laughing hard as he filmed them. This scene had tickled him pink.
Zhang Ye said in amusement, “I thought you people were vegetarians?”
“What vegetarians?!” Lillian swallowed and said, “If we have to eat meat, we’ll still eat meat!”
Zhang Ye asked again, “Didn’t you say that scientific evidence shows that humans can go seven days without food?”
Xu Meilan said, “Science can be wrong sometimes.”
Zhang Ye was speechless.
Feeling helpless, Zhang Ye could only help them out. When the expert got down to work, it was clearly very different from these amateurs. He caught a rabbit again today, which might have been the same rabbit from yesterday. On top of that, he also caught the snake.
The three guest hosts’ eyes were turning green from hunger.
“I’ll go and look for firewood!”
“I’ll start the fire!”
This time, there wasn’t a need for Zhang Ye to say anything more.
With their assistance, the first big meal since they came out into the wilderness was cooked.
Lillian gorged herself!
Xu Meilan also had no qualms for her image.
Jacques kept saying “this is so delicious” as he ate the food.
On the other hand, Zhang Ye did not even manage to eat a few bites of food. However, he had a smile on his face. That’s right, this is starting to feel more like a wilderness survival show.
