Chapter 75: The Heaven-Chosen Scapegoat
Song Jin’an and Zhou Lan walked over.
After learning Ye Zuiyi and the others’ location from Yu Xiaowei, they had decided to come find them.
After all, their supplies were in their hands.
The two of them would have a hard time surviving without supplies.
"Huh, why is there a beggar here?" Song Jin’an said, glancing at Yu Zimo with contempt.
Yu Zimo instantly exploded, rushing forward and slapping Song Jin’an across the face.
Song Jin’an froze for a moment, clutching her face with reddened eyes. Just when everyone thought she was about to cry, she lunged forward and clawed at Yu Zimo’s face!
Gu Zhao’s jaw dropped. ’Damn, she’s fierce!’
[Does Yu Zimo really not have some kind of manic disorder? Why is he always so quick to hit people?]
[I feel so bad for our Queen Lan and An’an. Why are they always getting bullied on this show?]
[Get him, An’an! I couldn’t stand him from the start. He’s so young but already has the aura of a total dumbass.]
[Gu Zhao’s shocked little expression is killing me. She looks exactly like me watching a fight break out in the village square.]
Little Huang, Xiao Lu, and Little Black were also stunned. ’Why are you guys fighting amongst yourselves??’
Gu Zhao, loving the drama, cheered, "Go, go, go!"
Zhong Mingrui and Song Yi also recovered from their shock and started shouting boisterously, "Big King, Big King! Who do you think will win?"
Gu Zhao: "I’m betting on Song Jin’an! Her nails are longer! I’ll wager one rotten egg."
"I think Yu Zimo is good at slapping people. I’ll bet one green onion on him to win," Song Yi said excitedly.
Zhong Mingrui hesitated. "Then... I’ll go with Big King! I’ll put down one can of pepper spray."
Gu Xulin was helpless. Zhong Siqi and Song Zhe were also at a loss.
Ye Zexi looked at Gu Zhao, his gaze as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to carve her up. "You really are a menace, just as you’ve always been."
"Did you gargle with an enema? ’Cause you’re spouting an awful lot of crap," Gu Zhao said, giving him a lazy glance.
’When is he going to get written off the show! It’s like his brain is missing.’
"You have no class," Ye Zexi snorted coldly.
Gu Zhao put her hands behind her back and secretly made the "Thousand Years of Death" hand sign to Big Eagle.
Big Eagle was confused, but Little Eagle got it!
It stealthily crept behind Ye Zexi and, while he wasn’t looking, jabbed its claws right into his rear end.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Ye Zexi yelped, clutching his butt as he jumped into the air.
His face was contorted in pain as he squatted down, still clutching his behind.
Little Eagle looked at the sky, then at the ground, and finally turned to face everyone’s stares with a look of pure innocence.
’What’s wrong?’
’Nice weather we’re having.’
Even the ones fighting and the ones trying to break it up stopped, all turning to look at Ye Zexi.
This time, everyone felt a sense of shared empathy. They all felt a phantom ache in their own rears...
"Brother!" Ye Zuiyi ran over with a bewildered expression and helped him up.
Little Huang, Xiao Lu, and Little Black: ’This is so chaotic.’
Zhou Lan’s expression was complicated. ’What is even happening anymore...’
Song Jin’an wasn’t afraid of the chaos; she decided to add to it. "Give us back our supplies. You’re all so kind, you wouldn’t covet our things, would you?"
Song Jin’an looked at Ye Zuiyi. She had figured it out—all these idiots doted on Ye Zuiyi.
And those *other* idiots spoiled Gu Zhao.
Ye Zuiyi was in no mood to deal with her and just threw a bag at her.
Song Jin’an caught it and checked its contents. Nothing was missing.
Then, Song Jin’an and Zhou Lan decided not to leave. Since there was a shelter, they would wait out the rain here too.
Besides, this must have been prepared by the production team. Where else would a shelter come from in the middle of a vast grassland?
She pulled Zhou Lan straight into the shelter.
Gu Zhao and her group: ??? ’Are they trying to take over our home now?’
Yu Zimo had several bloody scratches on his face. He wore a cold expression; any change in it sent a jolt of pain through his face.
"Hello, we are here to explore. My name is..." Seeing another little girl arrive, Little Huang immediately decided to test the waters.
Song Jin’an frowned. "What is he jabbering on about?"
Zhou Lan gave an embarrassed smile. "Sorry, my daughter doesn’t speak much English. I’m Zhou Lan, and this is my daughter, Song Jin’an."
’She doesn’t speak English!’
Little Huang’s face was all smiles. "No problem, no problem. She’s still young, she’ll surely speak well in the future."
’As if! How could there be a future for her!’
’Found her!’
Little Huang, Xiao Lu, and Little Black exchanged a look, smiles in their eyes.
’This money is too easy! Next, we just need to avoid the drones and take the kid away.’
They thought no one would know, completely oblivious to the strange expressions on the faces of Gu Zhao and her group.
Ye Zuiyi also had a strange expression. ’Aren’t they the people Big Brother mentioned?’
’Idiots! They found the wrong person and they’re happy about it! A bunch of useless trash!’
A group of netizens were also laughing their heads off.
[Hahahaha, where on earth did these three come from? Is the world of assassins this... naive now? I feel like even I could do their job.]
[I’m curious what their hiring fee is. A single dollar, maybe?]
[Fifty cents, and not a penny more. Any more and it’ll go to their heads.]
Gu Zhao didn’t mind them being in the shelter anymore. They were heaven-sent scapegoats!
Ye Zuiyi was getting anxious, but she couldn’t just come out and say, ’You’re after the wrong target.’
The group huddled together in the shelter, each with their own ulterior motives.
Except for Yu Xiaowei, all the other guests were now gathered together.
After a day of turmoil, the sky darkened. There were still five days until the end of the show.
But Ye Zuiyi’s group didn’t have enough food to last. Yu Zimo originally had three compressed biscuits, but Yu Xiaowei took one, and the other two, along with his backpack, had been snatched by Gu Zhao!
He had nothing to eat now!
They had been starving for almost two days!
Ye Zuiyi took a sip of water, then passed it to Ye Zexi for a drink.
Yu Zimo watched, and Ye Zuiyi couldn’t very well not give him any.
All they had to consume was half a bottle of mineral water.
Song Jin’an took a self-heating rice meal out of her bag and poured half a bottle of water into it.
Ye Zuiyi’s group swallowed hard.
Seeing this, Song Jin’an couldn’t help but taunt them. "Oh my, why hasn’t Fubao had any prey fall from the sky for her~"
Ye Zuiyi’s face was pale, and she looked pitiful with her head lowered.
[Song Jin’an is so annoying. What an ungrateful wretch. When Ye Zuiyi found prey, she didn’t say a damn thing, and now she’s mocking her.]
[Why are you all so malicious towards a child?]
[If it weren’t for her movie star mother, a kid like that would’ve been beaten into shape by society long ago.]
Ye Zexi’s eyes filled with rage. He wanted to beat up this kid who was just as annoying as Gu Zhao!
Yu Zimo, his face covered in bloody scratches, glared at Song Jin’an. But he didn’t dare say a word, afraid the little maniac would lunge at his face again.
’Fubao??’ Gu Zhao studied Ye Zuiyi with curiosity.
’Is the female lead activating another cheat code?’
"We still have a lot of food. Let’s all share," Little Huang said with a smile.
"Thank you," Ye Zuiyi said, her face full of gratitude.
Ye Zexi and Yu Zimo also thanked him.
Song Jin’an was really getting irritated. ’What is he even saying?’
’Can’t he speak Chinese!’
Little Huang politely asked Gu Zhao’s group as well.
Zhong Mingrui craned his neck, his eyes full of longing as he saw the contents of their bag.
"Big King, they have a pot!" Zhong Mingrui whispered in Gu Zhao’s ear.
Gu Zhao’s eyes lit up. ’I’m going to get constipated from eating grilled meat every day! After we get them sent to prison, it’d be great if we could snag that pot.’
"Sure, sure! Let’s eat together!" Gu Zhao chimed in.
Gu Xulin’s brow furrowed tightly. ’How can she dare to eat just anyone’s food! They’re here for you.’
’Isn’t she afraid they’ll poison it?’
’But the kid wants to eat...’
Gu Xulin: "My cooking is decent. I’ll do it."
’That way, they won’t be able to poison anything!’
