Chapter 206: Had a Lion Protected Her Before?

Jin Mingchen was in the same team as the other buff and muscular guy and the two of them were very happy as they whistled and walked across the desert.

They also praised the production team for their generosity and humanity for allowing them to carry as much as they wanted with them. They thought that they would definitely be able to make it to the end since they were carrying so many items on them.

But…

Humanity from the production team of a variety show? Non-existent!

The funniest thing was that both of the members who were not the brightest were placed in the same team. After looking at the map and walking for about three hours, Jin Mingchen and his team mate thought that they had finally arrived at their destination.

They were particularly excited when the saw some of the production crew members sitting under a tent where they had set up camp.

However, the production team quickly questioned both of them.

Didn’t we already send both of you to your starting point earlier?

Why are you walking back here and wasting our fuel out in the desert?

Before they could even blink, a terrible thing had already happened to them. The production team placed Jin Mingchen and the muscular boy back into the car before driving them back to their starting point.

After sending both of them away, the production crew could not help but burst out in laughter!

Both of them were really hilarious.

Although the other groups were also struggling to find the hidden clues to complete their mission, at the very least, they were still heading in the right direction. If they used their own instinct and whatever they had learnt from the last episode, they would not be struggling so much. This was how people usually were in the desert anyway.

However, what was going on with Jiang Yuning’s group?

Did she have WiFi signal on her head? How could she have known everything that she knew even when they had already placed them in this kind of circumstances?

After watching Jiang Yuning, the producers and director of <Desert Island Rescue> could not help but shake their heads.

It seemed as though even the desert was not going to be a challenge for her. Did they really need to toss an alien at her to make her waver?

…

Very soon, the sun reached its peak and it was noon, which was the hottest time of the day.

Jiang Yuning crouched down before she touched the yellow sand under her feet. She could feel that the surface of the sand was probably around sixty degrees Celsius at this time.

“We should not continue walking now. We should find a small hill where we can set camp behind it. Otherwise, we would be losing salt and moisture from our body too quickly,” Jiang Yuning said as she dragged her heavy feet behind the other two people who were sitting down on the sand at this time. “We need to rest and replenish now.”

Both Xu Beishen and Tong Tong were also equally exhausted. It seemed as though no matter how far they walked, there seemed to be nothing in sight in this vast desert land. This left them feeling kind of hopeless.

Jiang Yuning took the opportunity to drag both of them up before the three of them supported one another as they walked towards a nearby hill to rest.

“We still have enough food to last us till night but we definitely do not have enough water to last till the end of the day,” Xu Beishen spoke up as soon as she checked the remaining items that they still had on hand.

“Alright then. Pass me the glass cup,” Jiang Yuning said as she reached out her hand to Xu Beishen.

Xu Beishen handed the glass cup over to Jiang Yuning and at this time, she saw Jiang Yuning taking out a roll of plastic wrap from her backpack.

“When did you take that?”

“When nobody was paying any attention to me,” Jiang Yuning replied.

After that, Jiang Yuning began digging a pit in the sand before she placed the empty glass cup within the sand. After that, she covered the cup with the clean plastic wrap before she sealed the edges of the plastic wrap covering the cup by surrounding it with sand. Finally, she placed a small rock above the plastic wrap covering the cup.

“Alright. We should be resting now.”

The three of them hid behind the hill and ate a little of their food supply as they rested. When Jiang Yuning saw that Xu Beishen had already gotten a few shades darker just by spending a few hours under the blazing hot sun, she could not help but laugh before she asked her, “Is it really worth being under the sun and getting so tanned just because you want to teach me a lesson?”

“Compared to this small issue, I am even more curious to know how you have all these skills to survive out here in the desert? Did you receive any insider information from anyone?”

This person was always full of speculations and doubts about anyone else.

“Who do you think has the ability to get me insider information about what the production team has planned for us?”

“Don’t you have…”

“I have never involved second brother in anything related to my work before. Don’t you know that?”

When Jiang Yuning saw the look of disbelief and the sceptical expression on Xu Beishen’s face, she continued speaking, “When you were busy being mad and jealous of me, I was spending that time watching all sorts of documentaries and survival shows that teach us how to survive out in the jungle or the wild. Though I do not know what kind of missions the production team would come up with, I am certain that since the theme of the show is focused on survival, there are only a few locations that they could place us in. To be honest, I am not entirely confident in what I am doing right now because this is also my first time experiencing this kind of situation.”

“However, I am already used to being fully prepared before I venture into anything new.”

“Therefore, if you think that the reason why I have gotten this far is entirely because I have been depending on second brother, then you are absolutely wrong.”

At this time, Jiang Yuning exuded a charm and confidence that most people would not possess.

She was being extremely frank about everything.

Xu Beishen lowered her head.

Xu Beishen knew that she would not be able to do anything in this barren desert if she did not stick to Jiang Yuning. Although she was a biology expert, she did not have any advantage in a desert. Furthermore, she did not have any real life experience out in the wild before. No, she could not even be compared to Jiang Yuning when they were filming the previous episode in the jungle because unlike Jiang Yuning, who had gone camping for two days to get accustomed to the wild, Xu Beishen had never experienced any of that before.

Although she was still reluctant to admit it, Xu Beishen could finally see why Jiang Yuning was so charming to some people.

“Anyway, it doesn’t really matter whether you believe me or not. You still have to spend a really long time with me…maybe you will start to understand me once you get to know me better, then. You should take a nap now. We will continue moving forward once it is cooler later in the evening.”

Xu Beishen did not say anything as she was already very exhausted from the journey. Therefore, she lay down and rested her head on a shady rock before she fell asleep almost immediately.

On the other hand, Jiang Yuning did not intend to sleep at all because the water vapor method that she was using to collect water could only be used during the day, as it was completely dependent on sunlight. Therefore, she did not want to waste this opportunity. Instead, she stayed awake so that she could check on the cup every now and then.

In addition, the desert was not exactly entirely safe during the day time. They also needed to be careful to avoid getting attacked by any rattlesnakes or venomous scorpions.

Therefore, Jiang Yuning spent the next three hours watching over Tong Tong and Xu Beishen as they slept.

The cameraman who was travelling together with this group felt as though Jiang Yuning was a goddess. After hearing about the encounters of the other groups, he was really very happy and grateful that he was able to follow and film Jiang Yuning’s group.

At this time, the cameraman was hiding behind the hill with Jiang Yuning and her group as they rested for a short while.

A few hours later, Tong Tong woke up and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Yuning sitting on the ground, watching over them as they slept. “Sister Yuning, didn’t you sleep at all?”

“If I had slept, then I doubt the both of you will be able to sleep so soundly,” Jiang Yuning replied immediately.

“Alright then. I can take over and keep guard over everything now. You should rest even if it is for a short while,” Tong Tong replied as he stood up immediately. “You cannot afford to continue moving forward without resting at all.”

“I know. Okay then, I will sleep for an hour. Make sure you wake me up on time.”

In fact, Xu Beishen who was lying down at the side had already woken up and at this time, she was staring at Jiang Yuning’s back as though she had suddenly understood something important.

Although Jiang Yuning was a girl, she was very reliable and trustworthy.

She was very organized and had already planned everything that she needed to do in advance.

It seemed as though there was nothing that Jiang Yuning could not solve in this world. Even though it was also her first time being in a desert, she was so calm and reliable, and this made the people around her feel extremely safe, comforted and reassured.

Had a lion protected her before?

A short while later, the sun began setting in the west and it was finally beginning to get a little cooler in the desert. Jiang Yuning started to keep the glass cup and equipment before she packed up her backpack and the three of them started moving again.

“Sister Yuning, how much water did we manage to collect earlier in the afternoon?” Tong Tong suddenly asked Jiang Yuning.

Jiang Yuning smiled before she passed a bottle of water over to Tong Tong.

“Wow…we really collected a lot of drinking water!” Tong Tong felt that this was a very magical time. He was travelling with a lot of interesting people and it was actually quite fun to be travelling in the desert.

The production team could not help but smile when they saw such a warm scenario.

They really felt like going home so that they could write a short blog post just to compliment Jiang Yuning on everything that she had already done. Was she a fairy that was sent here to save the world?
