Chapter 134 Early Gathering
Wu Tao drove north for two hours and arrived at a military camp.
There was a security guard at the entrance. I asked around and found out that this was an abandoned military camp that had been contracted out to the TV show crew.
Upon entering, I saw many people in the courtyard looking at something.
Wu Tao got out of the car and saw director Yuan Zhenhai in the crowd.
"director"
"Wu Tao, you've arrived."
"This is?"
"Isn't this what everyone is learning about—how to make fire by rubbing sticks together?"
"Surely not? Didn't you get a flint and steel this time?"
Wu Tao was surprised to hear that they would have to learn how to make fire by friction. He couldn't very well not provide any survival tools this time.
"This time we're adopting an extreme survival mode, with each of your squads only having five survival tools."
Wu Tao was speechless. It seemed they were afraid everyone was having too good a life. Sure enough, the production team was truly ruthless when it came to ratings.
Yuan Zhenhai noticed the meaningful look on Wu Tao's face, patted him on the shoulder, and offered words of comfort.
There's absolutely no way they'll change it; that's a decision unanimously made by the three television stations.
This is to make things even more difficult for the contestants. I believe the audience will be very curious about how the contestants can persevere for three months, given how tough it is.
It has to be said that the production team is clever; they're clearly trying to push them to their full potential.
Wu Tao was stunned when he saw Nazha.
He genuinely didn't expect that the other party would participate in the second season of the survival show again.
"What, don't you recognize me?"
"No, you said last time that you would never participate in a show like this again."
Naza gave Wu Tao a haughty glare, seemingly blaming him for bringing up such a sensitive topic.
"Actually, it's because we have too much money. You know how it is for us female celebrities..."
"Stop, I understand. It's not easy being a female celebrity. So, for the sake of money, our Miss Nazha mustered up the courage to challenge herself again."
"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you. By the way, why haven't you contacted me since you got back?"
Naza glared at Wu Tao, somewhat unhappy. She hadn't expected that he wouldn't contact her again after the show ended.
Nazha called Wu Tao twice during the process, but Wu Tao never contacted Nazha.
Wu Tao was a little embarrassed to speak. He was actually intentionally avoiding the other person because he didn't want them to misunderstand.
Or perhaps Wu Tao hoped that Nazha would distance herself from him. Since he had no intention of starting a relationship with Nazha, the best way was not to start one at all.
Naza got really angry when she saw Wu Tao's expression, as if he thought she was unwanted.
She did develop feelings for Wu Tao, but as a beautiful female celebrity, Nazha had no shortage of outstanding men pursuing her.
If they hadn't gone through life and death together for a month, Wu Tao wouldn't have been on Nazha's shortlist of potential partners at all.
Originally, I thought I would give Wu Tao a chance, but I didn't expect Wu Tao to become pretentious instead.
"Hello, Nazha and Wu Tao, it's nice to see you again."
"Hello, Dilraba, you also participated in the second season?"
"Yes, it's not just me, my boss, Sister Mi, also came to participate."
After Dilraba finished speaking, a charming and alluring woman appeared behind her. It was her boss, Da Mimi.
"Hello Wu Tao, this is Yang Mi. We meet again."
"Hello, Mr. Yang."
"Oh dear, don't call me 'General Manager Yang,' it sounds awful. Just call me Sister Honey."
"Hello, Honey."
"Hmm, good girl."
Yang Mi casually joked with Wu Tao as she spoke.
The group knew each other, since they had all drunk alcohol in the first season.
Now that it's the second season, everyone's become teammates, so naturally they need to get to know each other as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, Dilraba, Gulnazar, and Yang Mi all understood that the two experts would definitely be the main force for this trip to the primeval forest.
The three of them were unfamiliar with the other expert, Liu Gang, and were also unaware of his character.
Wu Tao, being a semi-acquaintance, naturally became the person the three most wanted to win over.
Liu Gang was the last contestant to emerge victorious after going through multiple rounds of selection.
The other person was also a veteran, 25 years old this year. He was very tall, about 1.9 meters, and looked very strong.
When he speaks, his voice is like thunder.
Wu Tao, Gulnazar, Dilraba, Yang Mi, and the newly joined contestant Liu Gang stood there and chatted for a while.
Over the next week, everyone will need to learn a lot, as this is, after all, a competition between three countries.
The Great Eastern Kingdom naturally did not want to lose to the other side, which is why this emergency training was held.
Over the next few days, Wu Tao did indeed learn a lot from the hunters the program team had found.
Whether you can master it immediately is not important. At least with this learning experience, you will know how to deal with problems in the future.
As for the choice of the five survival tools, we have discussed it many times recently.
After several rounds of voting, the final choices were a kitchen knife, a wok, an axe, a tent, and a Tang sword.
Needless to say, Wu Tao was the one who chose the kitchen knife and wok; otherwise, everyone would have trouble getting food.
The axe was initially used for chopping trees, but later it was used for self-defense and hunting.
Tents are much simpler, and they were incredibly useful when we set up camp last time.
Tents are much simpler, and they were incredibly useful when we set up camp last time.
If the campsite is built with wooden planks and there is no tarpaulin to cover it, everyone inside will be soaked to the bone after a heavy rain.
The role of the Tang sword is understandable. In this five-person team, two important laborers are Wu Tao and Liu Gang.
They would need to go out hunting wild animals frequently, with an axe and a Tang sword to ensure that both of them had weapons.
As for flint, spices, and other miscellaneous tools, they had to be abandoned.
Fortunately, everyone has recently learned how to make fire by friction, so as long as the embers are kept, it is generally not necessary to start a fire every day.
The problem of seasoning is also easy to solve, as there are many herbs in the forest that can be used as seasonings.
Several people diligently memorized various kinds of knowledge, regardless of whether they were useful or not. At least they would have more knowledge to keep them from being at a loss in the future.
After a week of training at the military camp, the group boarded a plane again and set off.
The group of people had no idea where they would be taken. They had heard that it was a primeval forest, but they didn't know exactly where.
Wu Tao has become much more familiar with Liu Gang recently and has a good impression of this tough guy, thinking that he can be a good comrade-in-arms.
Five people were trying to survive together, and Liu Gang was the only one who could help him.
Naza, Dilraba, and Yang Mi are just decorative figures; they only move around the campsite at most.
Three months is not a short time, and it's really difficult for Wu Tao to manage alone. One oversight could cause the team to suffer heavy losses.
The rules for winning this time are similar to the last time: first, you have to survive; second, it depends on how many members of the three teams survive.
This prevents someone from thinking they are more capable and deliberately eliminating their teammates.
To put it bluntly, the production team isn't stupid; they won't let you win the championship so easily.
