Chapter 18: You can lie to your brother.

Chapter 18

Shen Tang and Ao Ziping ran over and found that Ao Ziping was being carried on He Yuan's back, while the latter's legs were shaking badly.

"What happened?"

The two had rather awkward expressions on their faces. Should they say that they accidentally hurt their waist while trying to catch a chicken?

Ao Ziping felt so embarrassed that he buried his face in He Yuan's back.

He Yuan lightly coughed and said, "We accidentally got injured while catching chickens."

Zhao Zhe looked left and right, "Where are the chickens?"

He Yuan turned his face away: "......We didn't catch the chickens."

Zhao Zhe: "......"

So they failed at catching chickens and hurt themselves in the process.

Shen Tang urged: "Let's go quickly, it's going to rain heavily soon."

Zhao Zhe took over Ao Ziping, and the few hurried back.

However, before they could get out of the woods, the rain had already started pouring down.

The rain was extremely heavy, as if buckets were being poured from the sky. The four were instantly drenched like drowned rats.

With the visibility impaired, it became very difficult to keep going forward.

Shen Tang wiped the rainwater off his face and spotted a small cave in the distance. He shouted loudly: "Quick, let's take shelter from the rain over there!"

At this time, Zhou Hao and Huo Yingying at the campsite were not having a good time either. The heavy wind and rain rendered the tent shelter useless.

Fortunately, there were sleeping bags in the survival packs. The two huddled inside the sleeping bags, only sticking their heads out.

"Wuwuwu, the poor lady goose......"

"Damn program team, didn't they check the weather report!?"

"This is bad, looks like the rain won't stop for a while judging by how heavy it is."

Seeing so many bullet screen comments cursing him, the director almost burst into tears.

He wanted this show to become popular, but not this way!

However, it was only going from bad to worse.

Soon, the staff returned to report that due to the heavy storm, it was inconvenient to go out to sea.

That means they had no way to go rescue the guests who were now stranded on the island.

The director squatted on the ground, pulling at his little remaining hair in distress. "Wuwuwuwuwu......"

Those who heard of this grieved, and those who saw this wept.

"What should we do now?" the staff member asked.

"How would I know!"

They now could only contact the official rescue team.

After entering the cave, Shen Tang and the others were not having an easy time either.

Their wet clothes were sticking to their bodies, and shivers ran through them with every gust of cold wind.

Continuing like this, catching a cold would only be a matter of time.

Fortunately, this cave was relatively dry without traces of large animals having lived here. It was a good place to take shelter.

Shen Tang looked at the sky and said, "You guys wait here. Zhao Zhe and I will go bring Yingying and the others over."

Zhao Zhe didn't say anything, but He Yuan and Ao Ziping felt a little embarrassed.

Ao Ziping felt remorseful, "It's all because of me dragging everyone down......"

He Yuan stood up, "Or I can go with you?"

Seeing his still shaking legs, Shen Tang shook his head, "You stay here. We'll be back soon."

After psychologically preparing themselves, the two rushed out into the rain.

The way back was extremely difficult. With the heavy wind and rain, they might have gotten lost in the forest if not for Shen Tang's good memory.

After a while, the rain lightened up a bit, and Shen Tang let out a breath of relief.

The livestreaming cameras left behind at the campsite had all been damaged by the rain. The seawater had also risen, with waves continuously crashing into the shore, presenting a rather scary sight.

Huo Yingying hugged the sleeping bag tightly, feeling very anxious.

Seeing Shen Tang, she immediately burst into tears.

"Wuwuwu......Sis Shen Tang, I'm so scared......"

Shen Tang patted her head, "Don't be afraid. We've come to take you away. We found a dry cave just now and will be taking shelter there. The crew will probably come rescue us later."

Huo Yingying sniffled and nodded heavily.

Not knowing how long the rain would last, everyone took everything they could carry.

Supporting the injured Zhou Hao, Zhao Zhe didn't have much strength left. Huo Yingying could barely walk straight carrying two survival packs.

Shen Tang was carrying pots on her head, two survival packs on her back, and went to take Huo Yingying's survival packs. "Let me take them. I'm stronger."

Huo Yingying didn't let go, "I can do it."

"I'm really strong."

To prove her point, Shen Tang put an arm around Huo Yingying's waist and directly lifted her feet off the ground.

Huo Yingying's eyes widened, "!!!"

Zhao Zhe and Zhou Hao also opened their mouths in shock.

Could she really be that strong? After all, many male celebrities couldn't even carry female celebrities like that, let alone with one arm.

Shen Tang smiled, "Believe me now? Let's go quickly."

Close to nightfall, the group finally returned to the cave after some time.

By then, there was already a campfire burning inside the cave.

Shen Tang was rather surprised. "Impressive!"

He Yuan scratched his head, "The dry branches were already in the cave. Looks like people have been here before. Anyway, your clothes are still wet. Hurry up and change into something dry."

Fortunately, there were lots of extra clothes in the survival packs. After changing into dry clothes and sitting by the campfire to warm up, everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.

Out of the previous livestreaming devices, only the last one beside Ao Ziping was left working.

They didn't know if the signal was still good for the outside world to see what was happening.

Huo Yingying waved at the livestreaming camera, "Hello hello, can you hear me?"

The footage shook for a bit.

Huo Yingying was extremely excited. "There was heavy rain here and we got stranded. We need rescue!"

Right after she finished speaking, smoke rose from the livestreaming device before it dropped onto the ground.

Huo Yingying: "......"

She was stunned stiff. "This one's also spoiled. The program team should have seen it, right......"

Zhou Hao almost had a mental breakdown. First he hurt his leg, then they were caught in a heavy storm, and now they completely lost contact with the outside after the livestreaming device broke.

"Wuwuwuwu......" He directly demonstrated a macho man's tears on the spot.

Huo Yingying was startled. "What's wrong?"

Zhou Hao's eyes were bloodshot. "We won't starve to death here, right......"

Shen Tang carefully recalled the plot of the book. The book only briefly mentioned that this reality show became popular, but didn't specify why.

Her body shuddered. Could it be because of this incident that the show became a hit?

Seeing everyone's grim expressions, Shen Tang comforted: "Everyone, don't worry. Nothing bad will happen. Our location is quite elevated so even if the water level rises, it can't flood this cave. We still have some food and water to last two to three days if we're prudent. Also, the program team won't just leave us here. They will send people to rescue us."

Shen Tang's reasoning was sound and successfully calmed everyone down.

What she didn't say was, since the book described this reality show becoming a hit, then nobody should have met any real danger. After all, the show wouldn't have been aired if anything really happened to them.

Huo Yingying nodded in agreement. "Sis Shen Tang is right. What we need to do now is eat and rest well, conserve our strength."

Ao Ziping held his waist with one hand and weakly raised his other hand. "Hey, would you believe me if I said my dad is the CEO of Star Brilliance Entertainment?"

"Pfft!"

He Yuan patted his shoulder. "Bro, you can fool your buddies, but don't fool yourself too......"

After all, they didn't even share the same surname.

Shen Tang, however, looked at him rather incredulously.

That's right. She was a contracted artist under a subsidiary of Star Brilliance Entertainment.

Could the person Boss Wang mentioned back then be referring to him?

Shen Tang felt her mind muddled.

Ao Ziping scratched his head. "I'm telling the truth. With me here, my parents will surely find a way to get someone to rescue us all."
