BXBX NOVEL Chapter 111 - Mountain Climbing Contest
It was just that their relationship was not as close as Ruan Tang and He Yun Chen’s. Sharing a sleeping bag together was a bit too intimate. The two girls, Zha Panpan and Wu Shasha, didn’t mind. But for two big men to squeeze together in one sleeping bag was a bit difficult to accept. So most people spread out their sleeping bags on the ground or covered their bodies with it, and gathered close together to get a good night’s sleep.
Early the next morning, the guests woke up to a call from the program team. They were given today’s task without even having any breakfast.
They had to climb to the top of the mountain before 3 pm and pick some flowers growing there. The first three groups to obtain the flowers will be given survival items, while the last two would lose this opportunity. After yesterday’s events, they have all discovered the importance of the items provided by the program team and so they will definitely do their best to complete this task.
[Cold-blooded Moon: Hahahaha, when these groups came out of the house, they all looked like they hadn’t woken up yet.]
[Big Bright and Shiny: The show crew is really digging a giant pit for them. Making them climb up a mountain without anything to eat. Aren’t they tormenting them too much?]
The audience who got up early in the morning to watch the live broadcast could not help but sympathize with these guests. You must know that the mountain top designated by the program group was not easy to climb.
This ecological zone was built according to the design of a virgin forest. From the mountains to the trees, everything was a copy of the original. The mountain designated by the program group was more than 1,000 meters above sea level. It was at the northernmost part of the area where they set up their temporary camps. It was steep and cold. Halfway up the mountain, there was already ice and snow covering the ground. Not to mention roads, there weren’t even any footpaths up the mountain. All these would make this a considerably difficult climb. More importantly, the program group stipulated that both team members must reach the top for it to count.
For the soldiers who had undergone rigorous training, climbing a mountain, no matter how steep was a piece of cake. But for the chefs who were just ordinary citizens, this would be a bit difficult.
The people warmed up the leftover food from yesterday. They hurriedly took a few bites to pad their stomachs and then rushed over to the coordinates sent by the program group.
However, although they arrived late, the two groups were not to be outdone, and they quickly started to climb.
The climbing journey was smooth at first, but later, as time went on and the temperature continued to drop, the physical gap between trained soldiers and untrained chefs gradually emerged.
There was no road on the mountain, and the terrain was very steep. It was easy to miss a step or lose your footing with a little carelessness. Almost every chef were now using both their hands and feet, but still it was a struggle.
He Yun Chen has been protecting Ruan Tang carefully, removing all obstacles in front of him while paying attention to his footing. From time to time, he would help him up. His boyfriend power was full to bursting. Those viewers who had already secretly joined the “Lotus Pond” CP fans were constantly shrieking in excitement.
Time passed minute by minute. Overexertion, changes in air temperature, and hunger and thirst all put their wills to the test.
As the only female chef, Zha Panpan has already reached her limit. After careful consideration, Wu Shasha decided to give up on this challenge. She chose to give up not because she didn’t have a competitive spirit, but because she knew how to make a choice. Zha Panpan’s physical strength could no longer hold out. If she insisted on climbing, things might turn dangerous and the gains would certainly not make up for the losses. Anyway, they had already traded for their much needed tinder and kitchen knife yesterday. Even if they couldn’t get anything today, it wasn’t a great loss for them.
Seeing the guests so exhausted, the audience also expressed their understanding.
[Moon and Stars: Shasha is really considerate!]
[Little Saint’s Succulent Garden: Panpan’s face is all white. They’ll still need to climb down. She might faint. They really should give up!]
Wu Shasha helped Zha Panpan to rest under the shade of a tree. In addition to the light blade and the portable sleeping bag, she also brought a water canteen. Now it came in handy. She went to find a water source and filled it with some clear spring water and gave it to Zha Panpan to drink.
[Cold Night: Wow, the interaction between Panpan and Shasha is also very loving, I feel like there’s a budding CP here!]
Wei Yu Zhaozhao: But I still think Lotus Pond has the most CP feels ~]
The withdrawal of Zha Panpan and Wu Shasha’s group increased the success rate of the other four groups to 75 percent. However, if they wanted to obtain suitable materials, they still had to give it their all and reach first place.
After four hours of climbing, they finally reached the top of the mountain, but the more difficult test was still to come. They must find a way to a small platform less than 50 cm wide located below a cliff, where a cluster of blooming red roses grew.
Although Chen Ye and Cao Jun arrived first, Cao Jun’s body has reached its limit. Chen Ye had yet to figure out a suitable way to help Cao Jun climb below the cliff and so for the time being, he let Cao Jun sit down and rest.
Chen Yuanwu and Gu Yan were the second group to reach the top of the mountain. Yesterday, they obtained the rope. They must have expected that something like this would happen and so they slowly climbed down with the rope and became the first group to obtain a rose.
Ruan Tang and He Yun Chen were the third team to arrive. He Yun Chen surveyed the steep cliff and knew that without any rope or other auxiliary items, climbing down this precipice would be an impossible task for the already overtaxed Ruan Tang. He estimated the height of the cliff, and he had an idea. He would use the simplest and roughest way to solve this problem.
“I’ll go down for a while. You follow my instructions.” He Yun Chen said to Ruan Tang.
“Alight.”
He Yun Chen took out the light blade, cut out a few footholds on the mountain wall, and started climbing downwards little by little, like rock climbing.
When he got down to the bottom, he stood on the platform and stretched out his hands towards Ruan Tang, “Tang Tang, jump down.”
Ruan Tang’s eyes widened in disbelief. This was a precipice no less than 300 meters high. In case he fell off, it will undoubtedly result in his death, his body being torn and crushed. Not to mention, He Yun Chen was, right now, standing on a small platform only fifty centimeters wide.
However, when he looked into He Yun Chen’s deep eyes, the tension and anxiety in his heart gradually disappeared. He believed that He Yun Chen would never risk his safety...
He gritted his teeth, jumped towards He Yun Chen.
He Yun Chen’s arms firmly grasped him like iron tongs, and he pulled him into his arms. It was like his feet had been rooted to the ground. He hadn’t moved even half a step.
The two successfully got the second rose flower.
This display of mutual trust and close contact between the two people led to intense shrieks from their CP fans, and they all filled the live chat with “Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!”s..
This CP feeling was not wrong! !! !!
