Chapter 174 -157 Disagreement in Opinions
The brown bear seemed to have marked Jing Hao’s campsite, intermittently putting on a bear-on-the-loose show for him.
Moreover, Jing Hao had never imagined that Alex and Shen Jinghe, the team of two, barely had any tools together!!
And their house was much worse than the one he had built with Xu He before, not to mention its small size, it even let in drafts at night.
One windy night, the fire Jing Hao started outside his hut was blown out.
The not so normal bear, which should have been hibernating in its cave during the dead of winter but preferred to roam around, casually strolled over and with one sweep of its paw demolished Jing Hao’s shabby hut.
Jing Hao almost wet himself from fear at that moment, thankfully, he went to sleep holding a bear repeller in his hand.
The high-decibel alarm instantly drove the bear away.
Looking at the smashed roof, Jing Hao’s last line of psychological defense also collapsed.
The audience in the live stream wasn’t faring much better than him.
‘Damn, that bear’s back again, I’m about to die of fright just watching through the screen’
‘I really admire Jing Hao, seriously, he stayed for three more days. If it were me, the moment I saw that bear, I’d definitely throw in the towel and quit. I have megalophobia, I just can’t deal with such massive creatures’
‘Although it’s dangerous, the previous comment was so funny, haha, “a vehicle bear”‘
‘Isn’t it just, so big, indeed it’s like a “vehicle”‘
‘I think Jing Hao can quit now, there’s really no need for him to keep wearing himself out here alone. This is just a variety show after all, his life is more important!’
Wasn’t that what Jing Hao was thinking too?
If he continued to stay here, no one could guarantee his safety.
He relit the fire and wrapped in his sleeping bag, he stared at the flames for quite a while in a daze.
About a few minutes later, Jing Hao finally made a decision.
He called the production team and chose to withdraw.
While waiting for the production team’s helicopter to arrive, Jing Hao silently began dismantling the camp by himself.
It was the production team’s rule to try to restore the environment around the campsite as much as possible when leaving.
With the ‘help’ of that brown bear, tearing down the hut was much easier for Jing Hao.
By the time he had managed to sort out everything, the helicopter was almost there.
Looking back at the chaotic footprints he had left in this stretch of snow, Jing Hao wiped his face and turned toward the camera.
His nose was red from the cold, and his eyes were a little red too.
It wasn’t just because of the cold, but also because at this moment, he was overwhelmed with emotion.
“I knew since the first season that a lot of fans started following me because of this program, and there was strong anticipation for the second season even before it began filming. But I’m sorry to have let you down today; I didn’t make it to the end, and I’m truly sorry.
“For myself, I feel somewhat unwilling to give up so easily, but to tell you the truth, I was really scared today, and now I just want to go home. This may not be manly enough, but that’s the truth.
“I don’t know how many people are watching the live stream right now, but thank you, thank you for your attention and company these past dozen days. This is where I stop in the second season. If there’s an opportunity for a third season, I would still choose to take on the challenge again. Sorry!”
‘Wuwuwu, you don’t need to apologize, Jing Bro, anyone would be scared. You’ve been amazing, keep it up!’
‘Right, fear is natural, that’s a live bear we’re talking about, plus you’re very sincere, we can understand. We’ll still support you next season! This time it was just bad luck, nobody’s always smooth sailing.’
‘Men don’t easily shed tears, Jing Bro, don’t be sad, go home early and see your sister-in-law and the kids, they’re waiting for you at home, safety first’
“Safety first.”
“Safety first.”
Unfortunately, Jing Hao had to exit the game, and the first team was completely wiped out.
Their live broadcast room was also shut down after the helicopter took Jing Hao away.
Some viewers originally found Jing Hao alone somewhat boring while the live broadcast was on, but once the room was closed, everyone suddenly felt an empty, reluctant feeling.
Some viewers even criticized the show’s team, feeling they were unfair and did not protect the guests’ lives properly.
But many more viewers refuted this viewpoint.
Firstly, this was, after all, a wilderness survival program. Encounters with wild animals are possible in the wilderness, and the production team did not forbid the contestants from leaving. They had not signed a life-or-death agreement with the guests, and they had dispatched a helicopter to rescue the guest as soon as they received the distress call.
Then there’s the fairness issue.
This was Jing Hao’s own choice. If he hadn’t chosen to use the prop card, if he hadn’t been randomly assigned to Shen Jinghe’s group, he wouldn’t have encountered the brown bear.
With Jing Hao’s departure, the show once again climbed to the top of the trending searches, sparking heated discussions overnight.
After leaving the snowy mountains and getting his phone back, Jing Hao also made a sincere response immediately.
In this wave, both Jing Hao and the production team achieved a win-win situation, gaining more attention.
At this time, the second round of voting was also drawing to a close.
After Jing Hao’s exit, he firmly occupied the last place in the rankings.
Shen Jingchuan and Shen Jinghe were still second last.
However, the first and second place had changed at this moment.
Originally, the team ranked first in the voting was Wenyan and Jiang Wanwan, but as the difficulty of hunting increased, their votes were quickly surpassed by the team of Yin Haoyu and Qin Yan.
Because Yin Haoyu had incredible luck.
Just when the snow made the mountains impassable, he happened to find a moose that had died in the wild due to injuries.
The moose was large in size, and finding such a fresh carcass meant they wouldn’t have to worry about food for even three months, let alone thirty days in the snowy mountains.
However, Yin Haoyu alone couldn’t move such a big moose.
So after discovering the body, he immediately called over Qin Yan, who wasn’t far away.
When Qin Yan heard he had found something good, she got excited as well.
To be honest, at first, she was not used to the process of hunting herself, and even found it hard to accept having to kill fish.
But when her hunger became unbearable, she came to terms with it.
Now, in her eyes, the moose carcass was nothing more than food.
However, on the issue of how to deal with the moose carcass, Qin Yan and Yin Haoyu had a disagreement.
The sky was already growing dark, and in this season, the sun set quickly.
Yin Haoyu had brought an axe and some ropes when he went out.
After looking around, he said to Qin Yan, “Let’s chop down a few trees and make a sled. Otherwise, we won’t be able to move this big guy. It’s getting dark soon; we have to hurry.”
Qin Yan, however, had her own thoughts, “I think we should chop some branches first to cover the deer up. Let’s not bring it back.”
