Chapter 64
Domestic time, ten o’clock in the evening.
On the government’s official video website, a banner window quietly popped up, labeled “Survival of the Fittest.”
If one clicked on it, they would find a big live room with nine sub-rooms on the side. Some were still blank, while others were already broadcasting.
But who the hell would visit this governmental video sile?
In this digital age, there were all sorts of video websites popping up everywhere, with a ton of TV shows, variety shows, you name it.
Under these circumstances, the interface of this governmental video site was almost primitive, like it was thrown together at the last minute. Against the backdrop of other diverse video websites, it’s barely noticeable.
But this governmental video site did have its perks. It’s the only place people can find some old-school TV dramas or political shows that weren’t available anywhere else.
But did that really matter? Who’s going to watch old-fashioned state TV dramas and dead-serious political shows in this day and age?
Survival was a live show, but since it wasn’t advertised, it only had a hundred viewers ten minutes after it started broadcasting.
-“Is anyone here?”
-“Wait, there’s a live show here?”
-“What show is this? Can anyone explain?”
A few random comments popped up.
Suddenly, a stunningly beautiful girl appears on the screen.
She stepped out of a car and stood alone, surrounded by primitive plants and cliffs
She’s in a camouflage outfit like she’s been abandoned in the wilderness.
-“Am I seeing things? Is that Eileen?”
-“Wow, I was just going to watch some old drama before bed, happened to click on this live room, and suddenly saw my favourite
actress.”
Confused comments appeared just as the girl decided to venture into the jungle.
Suddenly, a
person appeared out of nowhere and attacked her. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
-‘Watch out”
She dodged quickly retaliated
On-screen, two girls in matching camouflage outfits started fight fiercely in the damp jungle.
They fought very hard, which was shocking.
-“What on earth is this show?”
-“Oh my God! Eileen looks so badass!”
-“Wow!”
-“Did you see that kick, that dodge? Did you hear that crack? Did she just break that person’s wrist?”
-“I just did a search, Survival, there’s no info about this show. The description says it’s a military adventure show in collaboration with celebrities?”
-“Only 200 viewers?”
-“Eileen is here, and there are only 200 viewers? I don’t believe it! I’ve just recorded that fight and posted it on Twitter!”
The people in the living room had no idea what’s happening far away in the Brazil rainforest.
Eileen beat Elaine, looking down at the panting girl on the ground, who’s staring back at her.
She squatted down, picked up a branch from the ground, poked the other girl’s face, and said, “Hey.”
Elaine tumed her face away, frowning and looking very angry
Eileen chuckled, “Your fighting skills are just so-so, but you have quite a temper.”
“Who are you calling ‘so-so?’ Elaine struggled to get up.
But her hands hurt so much she yelled in pain and had to lie down again.
Eileen used the stick to scratch her neck, asking. “Are you part of the crew? How come I didn’t see you before?”
Elaine, frowning, reluctantly said. “I’m your teammate!”
*Teammate?” Eileen scoffed, “You attacked me as soon as we started, and you’re my teammate?”
Elaine’s cheeks turned red. She clenched her lips and remained silent.
Eileen looked at her for a moment, then squatted down and lifted up her right hand.
“What are you doing?”
Before she can finish, she felt a sharp pain in her arm, and Elaine instantly broke out in sweat.
Eileen picked up a thick branch from the ground, shook off the mud, stuck it in Elaine’s mouth, and said, “Bite this, don’t yell.”
Elaine’s eyes widened. She tried to spit out the stick, but the next second, her arm was twisted again, and she can’t help but nearly bite
the stick in two.
Three minutes later, Elaine is soaked wet with sweat and spits out the pulverized stick!
She weakly looked at Eileen, stayed silent for a while, then said, “Thank you.”
Even though it was Eileen who hurt her hand, at least she helped her reset it.
Eileen stood up, still holding the thin branch, and casually asked Elaine, “Are you a soldier?”
Elaine wasn’t surprised that Eileen guessed it. After all, she did give off a soldier vibe.
Then she heard Eileen say, “Your fighting skills are so poor. You’re not from a combat unit, are you? Are you in the band?”
Elaine lifted her head angrily, feeling insulted, “Who are you calling a band member?”
Eileen raised on eyebrow, “So, you look down on the band?”
Elaine was, taken aback, quickly said, “That’s not what I meant
“So, what did you mean?”
Elaine didn’t know what to say. She opened her mouth but ended up telling the truth, “I’m. a recruit.”
Eileen snorted, ‘No wonder you’re so reckless. Get taught a lesson by a veteran a few times, and you’ll learn to behave.
Elaine kept her mouth shut, but something about Eileen’s tone felt off
It’s like she’s the veteran.
“Why did you attack me?” Eileen asks again.
Elaine felt awkward. She wanted to say, because I wanted to teach you a lesson, you know since you’re fighting over a guy with my aunt! But now that she’s been taught a lesson by Eileen instead, she definitely can’t tell the truth,
Elaine wasn’t good at lying. She thought for a bit, carefully looked at Eileen, and countered “Why do you think I attacked you?
Eileen raised an eyebrow, “Were you testing my skills?”
Elaine’s eyes lit up, and she quickly went along with it, “You got it!”
Eileen was speechless.
How can this girl be so naive?
Eileen looked at Elaine carefully for a while, then extended her hand and said, “Get up.”
Elaine glanced at her hand, hesitated for a moment, but eventually took the hand offered to her. With a little help, she got up and introduced herself, “Ill be your partner for the next two weeks. Call me Elaine.”
Eileen withdrew her hand and stuck it in her pocket, ‘Name’s Eileen,” she responded.
Elaine studied her for a moment before heading towards a tree and started to climb it. Her hands weren’t exactly nimble, but she managed to clamber up and fetched a military backpack from its branches.
The backpack hit the ground with a thud. Elleen eyed it but made no move to pick it up.
When Elaine got back down, she hoisted the backpack onto her shoulders and explained, ‘This is our supply pack, it’s heavy, I got it. I go first. You trail behind. The boss told us to look out for you celebs.”
Eileen raised an eyebrow, “What’s this show about anyway?”
Elpine realized that many of the stars might not have the full picture, so she gave a brief rundown.
Afterward, Eileen scratched her face with a twig and said, “Didn’t know it was this kind of gig when I signed up. I don’t mind, but if the other guests find out, they might get a little peeved.”
Elaine chose to remain silent, knowing that the production team would handle any issues with the guests.
“So, what are we supposed to do now?’ Eileen asked.
“We need to find a map, Elaine replied. “In two weeks, we have to locate the map and follow the route marked on it to get out of this rainforest. That’s how we complete the mission.”
“And what’s in it for us if we complete the mission?”
“There’s a cash prize. The amount depends on how well we do.”
Just as she finished, Elaine noticed that Eileen had stopped moving.
