[Did Chen Ying study this before?]
[She had already acted in Director Chen's film "Sniper" before applying to film school, so she probably had some training.]
[That's pretty impressive, but it makes me feel uncomfortable.]
[Well, I just got back from Xie Wang's place. He's pretty good too, clearly trained in this kind of sport, but he doesn't attack people unprovoked. Chen Ying, on the other hand, seems to deliberately hunt people down to beat them up.]
Cheng Jia, who only had one health point left, had already run away, leaving only Ling Shuangjiang and Chen Ying here.
Behind the tree, Ling Shuangjiang checked that the prop gun was correct and was ready to face off against Chen Ying at any moment.
Sure enough, Chen Ying walked towards his tree.
Just as Chen Ying was about to spot him, he turned to face her directly, giving her enough time to react. When Chen Ying raised her gun, he pulled the trigger, anticipating her turn to the left. Chen Ying's bullet veered past him, and her health decreased by one.
Ling Shuangjiang remained vigilant behind the tree and immediately left.
Chen Ying stood there stunned, then smiled innocently at the camera: "I didn't expect Shuangjiang to ambush me."
[Hmm, are there any surprise attacks during Frost's Descent?]
[I'm not saying this to be rude, but Shuangjiang clearly gave Chen Ying some time to react, so it was a fair duel.]
[Yes, Chen Ying only acted after raising his gun and firing at Shuangjiang; before that, he had only been aiming.]
For some reason, I feel that Chen Ying is a bit of a green tea bitch.
After running briskly across the grass for a long time, Ling Shuangjiang, panting, sat down to rest on a rock after confirming that no one was around. An hour had passed, and so far only Huang Shan had been eliminated. She didn't know how Xie Wang was doing.
As darkness fell, Ling Shuangjiang stroked Xie Wang's wristwatch, intending to find a relatively safe place to stay for a while.
There was the intermittent sound of flowing water not far away; where there is water, there are animals. Ling Shuangjiang was worried about danger and was about to leave in the opposite direction when she unexpectedly ran into Lu Shaoheng.
Lu Shaoheng slung his prop gun over his shoulder. "How's it going? How many health points do you have left?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "Full."
Lu Shaoheng: "That's right, shall we go together?"
The two were talking when an alarm suddenly sounded in mid-air.
A mechanical voice echoed through the jungle: "Danger is imminent. All guests, please take cover."
Ling Shuangjiang turned around and found that a dense crowd of people were indeed walking behind her. They wore terrifying masks, were dressed strangely, carried prop guns on their shoulders, and had bells jingling at their ankles.
Lu Shaoheng said, "Frost's Descent, run!"
Ling Shuang instinctively ran along the stream, but Lu Shaoheng quickly overtook him and ran ahead.
The announcements continued to ring in their ears:
Bai Xinyu has been eliminated.
Joey has been eliminated.
The sudden elimination of two guests must be related to the appearance of NPC characters. Ling Shuangjiang dared not relax and ran at top speed, the whooshing sound in her ears growing louder and louder.
Suddenly, he stopped.
Because an NPC appeared ahead and was walking towards the two of them.
Caught between two forces, with a river on the other side, they had no choice but to run in the fourth direction.
There are many bushes and thick branches in this direction, and thorny plants grow around it, which can easily scratch your body.
But he couldn't worry about all that; his dangerous situation also gripped the hearts of the audience.
Lu Shaoheng's physical strength was clearly superior to Ling Shuangjiang's; in just a few seconds, he had already fallen fifty meters behind Ling Shuangjiang.
[I must say, this jungle adventure episode was incredibly realistic.]
[Run! Run!]
[Oh my god, that feels so dangerous.]
"Currently, NPCs are moving to the North District. Guests in the North District are advised to take shelter as soon as possible."
From God's perspective, the red dots represent NPCs, and the densely packed red dots are moving in the direction of Ling Shuangjiang and Lu Shaoheng.
They were moving very fast, clearly using vehicles such as off-road vehicles or off-road motorcycles.
Lu Shaoheng knew he was in the North District. While catching his breath, he turned back to look for Ling Shuangjiang.
The two were far apart, and the NPC behind Ling Shuangjiang was getting closer and closer to them. Seeing this, he hesitated for a moment, a hint of struggle in his eyes, and then turned and left.
Viewers could already see the NPC appearing behind Ling Shuangjiang from the live stream footage, which was enough to prove that Ling Shuangjiang was in danger.
[My wife is good at drawing, but not at parkour; this segment on the show is a bit ridiculous.]
[Wife, run! Run!]
[I'm so scared, boohoo. If it really doesn't work, don't struggle anymore during Frost's Descent, so you don't get hurt.]
Just when the NPC behind her was only ten meters away from Ling Shuangjiang, Ling Shuangjiang was about to run out of stamina.
Suddenly, his wrist was grabbed by an arm that appeared beside him.
He looked up—
Before he could react, Xie Wang had already picked him up and rushed forward, quickly dodging the camera lenses and NPCs, and led him to a secluded cave.
[Where's my wife? Where has she been?]
[Did President Xie carry him away? President Xie was too fast, the camera couldn't keep up, don't worry.]
[Waaaaah, as danger looms, all the guests' names on the monitor are moving further and further away from the North Zone, only President Xie is desperately running this way.]
[Yes! After Mr. Xie deduced that Frost's Descent was around here, he kept running this way.]
[Waaaaah, if this isn't love, then what is it!]
Inside the cave, the two sat on the ground.
Xie Wang was panting heavily, and sweat dripped from his forehead onto his clothes.
Ling Shuangjiang was also exhausted, panting as she looked at Xie Wang.
How did you know I was here?
Ling Shuangjiang clearly saw that Xie Wang had come specifically to this side, so she was very curious.
Xie Wang: "I have basically figured out the situation in the South District, and the guests there also know about it, but I haven't seen you."
Ling Shuangjiang: "So, you came to find me?"
Xie Wang nodded: "I heard the broadcast on my way to find you. I was worried that you were in danger, so I quickened my pace and ran this way. I heard the sound of NPCs' footbells in your direction. I guessed that they were chasing someone, so I came along this road to check it out."
Ling Shuangjiang rested her chin on her knees, silently observing Xie Wang's sweaty appearance. She took out a tissue from her pocket and gently wiped his eyebrows, neck, and ears.
The unusual touch made Xie Wang a little uncomfortable, but he didn't stop him. He just stared at Ling Shuangjiang's face and obediently let him wipe his sweat.
"Are you hungry?" Xie Wang asked, looking down. "Running takes up a lot of energy."
“A little.” Ling Shuangjiang smiled and looked around the secluded cave. “I don’t know if it’s safe here. If it is, I’d like to conserve my energy and rest for a while.”
Xie Wang analyzed seriously: "It's probably not very safe. Our clothes have GPS tracking. If the production team can't find us for a long time, they'll send an NPC over."
Ling Shuangjiang agreed, "Indeed."
Xie Wang then smiled at him and patted his pocket: "Say something nice, and I can give you a surprise."
Ling Shuangjiang's eyebrows curved into a smile: "What surprise?"
Xie Wang: "You have to tell me first, then I'll give it to you."
Ling Shuangjiang actually knew what it was, but she still sweetly asked in a very cooperative manner, "Brother, what is that?"
Faced with Ling Shuangjiang's coquettishness, Xie Wang couldn't resist. He coughed twice, took out two bear-shaped biscuits, and handed them to Ling Shuangjiang.
"Eat."
Ling Shuangjiang said cheerfully, "Thank you." After unpacking the package, he didn't rush to eat it himself, but instead handed it to Xie Wang first: "Try it."
With limited pocket space, Xie Wang divided the bear-shaped cookies into smaller portions and only took two with him.
He shook his head: "I'm not hungry."
Ling Shuangjiang still held out her hand: "One for each of you."
Seeing his insistence, Xie Wang opened his mouth and bit down.
Ling Shuangjiang put some in her mouth as well, and just stared at Xie Wang.
Xie Wang asked, "Are you afraid of those NPCs? Their masks are ugly, I'm worried you'll be scared to tears."
Ling Shuangjiang chuckled: "I am a little scared, but I wouldn't cry."
The cave was quiet, and there were no cameras, so the two of them could say whatever they wanted.
Xie Wang stared at Ling Shuangjiang, momentarily at a loss for words.
"The dating reality show is almost over, right?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "Yes, there are still ten days left."
Xie Wang nodded: "The company has a huge backlog of documents. I estimate I'll be working overtime every day when I get back."
Ling Shuangjiang rested her head on her knees and tilted her head to look at him: "Keep it up, take care of yourself."
"And you? What are your plans for the future?" Xie Wang asked.
Ling Shuangjiang: "I'll go home first, then report to the company and start officially accepting gigs."
"I remember your company is in Bintan City? That's my home, so we can see each other every day again." Xie Wang didn't know why, but when he talked about parting, he felt a little sore and uncomfortable.
Ling Shuangjiang blinked: "It's probably not possible to meet every day. You're so busy with work, and I have to go on gigs too."
Xie Wang lowered his eyes slightly: "That's true. By the way, where do you live in Bintan?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "It hasn't been arranged yet. I'll probably stay somewhere close to the company for the time being."
"You can stay at my place." Xie Wang subconsciously reached for his phone to search for Ling Shuangjiang's company address, only to realize his phone wasn't with him. "Where exactly is the company located?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "On Exhibition Road."
Xie Wang's tone was noticeably more enthusiastic: "I have an apartment nearby, why don't you move in with me? Zhanlan Road isn't far from my company either, I can come over to visit you after work. If you're scared, I can move in with you too."
"Thank you." Ling Shuangjiang politely declined, "I may rent a place temporarily at first, but I will consider settling down after things stabilize."
