Chapter 79 The Unscrupulous Program Team
The number of viewers in the live stream room surged. After Simon finished speaking, the camera returned to the deserted island.
At this moment, the nine guests on the deserted island still didn't know the program team's gimmick, nor did they realize the program team had deliberately abandoned them and didn't plan on returning.
Watching the yacht quickly speed away, Ezra sighed, "Ah, how could this happen..."
"Exactly. I'm so worried about them. We should have gone with the program team. There's strength in numbers, and maybe we could have helped somehow," Mia said, following up with a worried frown.
"Oops! I didn't react fast enough!" Sophia raised her hand and smacked her forehead, looking annoyed. "I'm so stupid!"
Daniel's voice was deep and slightly magnetic. "We shouldn't blame ourselves for reacting slowly. Our backpacks are so heavy, getting on and off the yacht is slow. The program team was in a hurry to save people. Not carrying us saved them a lot of time."
Elijah put his hands together, lowered his head, and closed his eyes. "I'm praying. I hope director Sean and his team can save the other staff members."
user @DriedRadish: "Hahahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. They actually believed it!"
user @HotSauce: "Hahaha, looking at them now, why does it make me want to laugh more and more?"
user @StiffBamboo: "No wonder they all looked well-rested after waking up. Did the technicians speed up time for them?"
user @IAmHungry: "Oh my goodness, if the program team hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have been able to tell at all that they are actually virtual bodies!"
user @WaitingForSpring: "They're not exactly virtual bodies, are they? After all, when they raise their hands to touch themselves right now, they have a sense of touch, body temperature, and a heartbeat. Otherwise, they wouldn't be unaware that their physical shells have been swapped out."
user @IHateWinters: "Geez, shell swapping... that sounds creepy!"
user @IcedCola: "Ahhh, I'm here. Where's the holographic game? I want to play!"
user @PrincessRuRu: "Huh? What holographic game? This is a virtual reality variety show live stream..."
user @SiSiOnTop: "A friend recommended me here! They said this variety show is very unique. I'm here to see how unique it is."
user @NatureLover: "Is this the variety live stream mentioned on TikTok? Are these nine guests fake people?"
The comments were a chaotic mess. Many of the old viewers who had been in the live stream room patiently explained the situation to the new viewers.
The guests on screen didn't know they were still being watched like monkeys.
They stood silently until they watched the yacht carrying the program team disappear from sight. Only then did they look away, inevitably starting to examine the deserted island before them.
"Ah! What a big fish!" Sophia suddenly raised her hand and pointed to a puddle on the shore. In that puddle, a big fish, which had been stranded for who knows how long, was showing its white belly.
"There's so much seafood on these rocks," Henry said softly.
Mia lowered her head, looking at the dense mussels and oysters stuck to the rocks, feeling a little scalp-tingling.
"We don't know when the program team will return. We can explore the nearby area first," Jasper suggested.
Everyone agreed with his suggestion. A yacht sinking... sounded extremely dangerous.
If director Sean and his team arrived in time and safely rescued all the staff, that would be fine. But if they arrived late and there were casualties, the show would definitely be suspended for rectification, and the program team might even face a lawsuit.
However, none of this really concerned the guests, as they were only hired under a contract with the program team.
user @RainDrop: "Hahahaha, it's so funny watching them all being kept in the dark."
user @BlackDress: "The program team is seriously unscrupulous!"
user @BrightestStar: "Ezra, Daniel, don't wait. Hahahaha, you won't see them again. The director and producer of the program team are comfortably sitting in a luxury cabin sipping tea!"
