Chapter 76 30 Days Of Survival
Kendall had only one small, black suitcase, and it was the smallest model.
It could be said that Kendall had the least luggage of everyone present.
When the suitcase was opened, it contained two changes of clothes, a windbreaker jacket, and a pair of clean shoes.
These few items already occupied eighty percent of the suitcase's space.
user @YogaMat: "Is that it?"
user @Materialistic: "That's less stuff than I take for a two-day business trip. Don't be ridiculous."
user @BrandConscious: "I'm a guy, and I bring more stuff when I go out than her."
user @IAmTheBest: "How can that be all? She must have cosmetics and skincare products, right!"
user @RipeCheese: "Heh, it's a show. She didn't bring other things, and she doesn't even have a phone charger? Who can live without a phone these days."
user @CluelessRobot: "Ah... the program team seemed to say before that it's a thirty-day enclosed live stream, and guests aren't allowed to bring any electronic devices. The phones... will probably be confiscated soon."
While the audience was chatting heatedly in the comments, Kendall had already packed all the items from her suitcase into the hiking backpack.
The program team was still conscientious, the backpacks they provided had a large capacity. After all, this was just a variety show, not an extreme survival challenge, and the program team certainly wouldn't want anything to go wrong.
Kendall folded her clothes skillfully. After putting everything in, the backpack still had one-third of its capacity remaining.
Kendall carried her backpack and walked towards the supplies provided by the program team.
As the guests packed their bags, Sean diligently reminded them, "It's a deserted island. Our program team staff have investigated it beforehand, there are no major dangers. There are many chickens, ducks, and geese that our program team put there in advance, as well as some supply bags."
"For this month, everyone's food, clothing, housing, and transportation must be self-sufficient.
You can also team up with each other to overcome difficulties.
Therefore, everyone must be careful when choosing what items to bring.
If you don't take these things now, you won't have them once you get to the island. "
The supplies prepared by the program team were very comprehensive. Kendall took two boxes of medicine, two lighters, a coil of rope, a thermos cup, a metal water bottle, a compass, a flashlight, and a headlamp.
Finally, she used the gaps to slide a survival knife and two daggers into the backpack.
Kendall originally wanted to take a set of pots and spoons, but her backpack was already full, and there was absolutely no room left.
Thinking that she could use other materials to substitute for pots and spoons, Kendall moved her eyes away from the titanium pot and spoon set.
Instead, she stuffed two rolls of toilet paper and some mosquito repellent into the backpack.
Zipping it up, Kendall casually picked up a tent nearby and skillfully fastened it onto the hiking backpack. While the other guests were still hesitating, Kendall had already finished packing all her things first.
user @WildlifeExpert: "People with outdoor experience here to tell you that just by watching how Kendall ties the tent, you can tell she's definitely an old hand at wilderness survival."
user @CalmMind: "The items she chose are all very practical and necessary for outdoor survival."
user @CruelWitch: "Heh, stop praising her. Tying a tent is something anyone with hands can do. Don't make it sound so difficult."
user @RingRing: "It's just a variety show. What's the deal? Is she really treating it like a serious wilderness survival trip?"
user @SkepticalKitten: "Scum Kendall should get out of the entertainment industry!
We cursed her on the top search for two days, and the program team still hasn't kicked her out.
She must have some connections. Look, it's only been on air for a little while, and people are already speaking up for her. "
user @CalmMind: "...I'm not her fan, nor am I a paid commenter for anyone. I'm just commenting objectively."
user @IDoNotUnderstand: "That sounds good, but what thief would actively admit they stole something?"
"Ah... it won't fit. Director, can you really not give me one more backpack?
" Sophia pouted her cheeks, somewhat pleadingly.
As a female artist, her first priority was to stuff clothes and cosmetics into her bag.
She felt like she hadn't even packed anything, and the backpack was already almost full.
"No, everyone only gets one backpack," the director shook his head, kindly reminding her, "Aren't you going to pack some compressed biscuits?" 'Who was it that said they were going to fill their backpack with biscuits?'
"Hold on, let me finish packing these supplies," Sophia replied, continuing her struggle with the skincare products in her hand.
The director just said that the program team put chickens, ducks, and geese on the deserted island, so there shouldn't be a shortage of food.
When traveling, how could she go without skincare products?
Besides Sophia, Mia also felt her backpack wasn't big enough. But unlike Sophia's isolated helplessness, Mia had her second brother Liam and her fiancé Jasper.
Mia looked at the two men beside her and said, "Brother Liam, Jasper, what should I do? My backpack isn't big enough either, and I haven't even packed the supplies the director provided."
"It's okay. You pack whatever you want, and I'll help you pack the supplies the director provided," Jasper said lovingly.
"Exactly," Liam also nodded. "You pack everything you like. Put whatever doesn't fit in my bag. I still have room in mine."
'How foolish.' Kendall walked away immediately when she heard their conversation.
user @GoddessMia: "Ahhh, so doting!"
user @KarmaBeliever: "Our Mia is truly the chosen one! Both her second brother and her fiancé are so indulgent towards her!"
user @FullOfEnergy: "I'm genuinely tired of saying the word 'enviable'."
user @UnbiasedOpinion: "Ah, no! The director just said this season is being recorded on a deserted island. Are you all really okay with her bringing so many clothes and skincare products?"
This doubtful comment was quickly covered by Mia's fan's comments.
Everyone finished packing one after another, and each person, like Kendall, strapped a tent onto their backpack.
Mia couldn't tie hers, so Jasper stepped forward to help her. Ezra, who had already finished packing, proactively helped Sophia tie her tent.
Once everyone was packed, the director smiled and led everyone to board the yacht.
The luxurious yacht was docked on the beach. Ezra couldn't help but praise it when he saw it. "The program team has such a big budget!"
Sean, following behind, said, "Haha, we recently got a new sponsor. You'll find out soon. The watches we are about to give you are also provided by the sponsor."
"Watches?" Sophia curiously asked, "Why would the sponsor provide us with watches?"
"Well, consider it advertising. I can't help it, our generous sponsors gave us so much money."
user @NailPolish: "Hahahahaha, what kind of answer is that? Is the director openly advertising?"
user @RedUmbrella: "Ridiculous! Which advertiser is so generous?"
user @CuteSlipper: "This investor seems like a huge pushover."
user @PoorPanda: "What kind of watch is it? I'm suddenly curious."
user @HopefulMan: "It should be a smart watch with satellite positioning or something. After all, the guests aren't allowed to bring extra electronic devices..."
Not only were the audience watching the live stream amused by the director's answer, but the guests also laughed, while feeling a little excited about the watch.
After everyone boarded the yacht, it quickly set off towards the deserted island. Producer Simon opened the box he had been carrying, revealing nine brand-new watches of different styles inside.
Sean said, "As we mentioned before, it's an enclosed live stream, and no one can bring their phone.
So, the investor thoughtfully prepared this watch for everyone.
It's waterproof, heat-resistant, and solar-powered.
It will automatically send an alert if you encounter danger or if your body experiences certain uncertain factors, serving as a monitoring and safety tool.
This watch is currently in internal testing, and other functions are pending exploration. "
The style and appearance of each watch were exceptionally beautiful. Not only did the viewers in the live stream post amazed comments, but the guests also voiced their praise and eagerly grabbed one each to try on.
"Wow! What material is this? The watch band automatically expands and contracts as soon as it touches my wrist!" Ezra exclaimed. As he spoke, he couldn't help but hold the watch up to the camera to show the live stream viewers.
The other guests, after trying it on, also discovered its marvel and enthusiastically showed off the watches on their wrists to the camera.
Although the director didn't name the investor, its quality and the subtle high-tech features suggested it was definitely a new product from a major brand.
Everyone thought to themselves that it would be an incredible opportunity if the sponsor selected them to be the brand spokesperson for this watch. With this thought, they praised the watches on their wrists even more vigorously.
Kendall received a black watch. The strap of the women's watch was relatively thin. When she wore it, the black watch complemented her slender wrist and cool, fair skin. The high-quality, textured dial sparkled in the sun.
Kendall didn't talk much, and the cameraman gave her very little screen time, but after she put on the watch, the camera briefly lingered on her wrist for a few seconds.
user @KinkyMan: "Ahhh! That hand! The skin is so white and delicate!"
user @BeautyAdmirer: "The skin is too fair!! Every frame could be used as an official promotional photo for the watch."
user @TypaGirl: "Scum Kendall, get out of the entertainment industry! The industry doesn't need artists with poor character!"
user @AlwaysBusy: "Can you people, who are idolizing her, open your eyes? You're a fan of someone like this?"
After the director distributed the watches, it was time for everyone to voluntarily hand over their phones.
Sean said with a smile, "To prevent anyone from cheating, after you hand over your phones, the staff here will use equipment to check if anyone is secretly carrying a second phone."
With his warning, no one dared to secretly hide a phone on their body. They all handed over their phones.
Ezra, after turning off his phone, hesitated. "Our assistants and agents aren't here. Who should we give our phones to?" The phone is a personal item and contains too much private information. Especially for public figures like them, some things in their phones absolutely cannot be leaked.
"Put them here," Sean seemed to have anticipated this question and magically pulled a box out from behind him.
He said sternly, "We have a total of nine boxes here.
After you put your phones in, the boxes will be locked, and the keys will be kept by you.
The boxes will be placed in a safe and collectively supervised by the program team. "
With the director's explanation, everyone was immediately relieved. They turned off their phones and handed them over. Sean also put the locked boxes into the safe in front of everyone, and the key to the safe was kept by Simon.
The deserted island was quite far away, so Sean thoughtfully prepared lunch for everyone.
After the meal, he provided a separate room for each guest to rest. The guests had all woken up early to catch the plane today and were probably genuinely tired.
Moreover, with no phones, they only thought of sleeping once they entered the small rooms.
Kendall always had the habit of taking a nap, but for some reason, Kendall felt something wasn't right. She cautiously walked around the small room once, then lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.
user @LovesToRead: "Wait, the other guests immediately lay down or sat on the bed when they entered, but Kendall... inspected the small room??"
user @HeadWitch: "What kind of environment does she usually live in? She seems to have so much on her mind."
user @QueenBee: "That's not a big deal, is it? When I stay in a hotel alone outside, I always check the room for cameras first."
user @PickMe: "Daniel is so handsome even with his eyes closed! Mature and charming!"
user @ApplePie: "Hahaha, Ezra is so cute. He seemed to fall asleep instantly."
user @LongevitySerum: "The director said the deserted island is very far, it must take at least an hour or more to sail on the sea. I'm logging off now and will come back later."
Just as the audience was debating whether to keep the live stream running or log off and come back later, the live stream screen suddenly went black.
user @AngryTeen: "?????"
user @RiceCake: "Is the live stream off, or did my phone turn off?"
user @PeterPan: "Why did it suddenly go black? I wanted to keep watching Daniel! I'd watch even if he was sleeping! Program team, what are you playing at!"
Under the cries of countless netizens, the live stream suddenly resumed two or three minutes later. Nine live rooms, each showing a separate guest. Since everyone was in a separate room, splitting the live stream into nine was normal.
However, something abnormal happened within this normal picture!
The audience in front of the screen watched in disbelief as the guests who had just fallen asleep briefly moved their bodies and then woke up one after another.
user @DogLover: "Huh? Why did they wake up?"
user @CatPoop: "Can someone tell me? What happened during those two or three minutes of black screen?"
No one could answer the audience's confusion, especially after seeing the look of satiety on Ezra and Sophia's faces, as if they had just had a long sleep. Everyone felt even stranger. But that wasn't all.
An even more surreal thing happened next. After the guests came out of their rooms, the yacht, which had been sailing on the sea just two minutes ago, had already docked on the shore of a deserted island!
The audience: "???"
'This is just too ridiculous!'
