The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits
Chapter 623 - 627

Chapter 623: 627

At that instant, its animal instinct surged powerfully, making all the hair on its body stand on end, and it unconsciously bared its sharp teeth and assumed an aggressive stance.

With its teeth bared, it growled lowly.

It was as if, in that moment, it had been targeted by some ferocious predator.

Da Pan and Xue Guo were scared stiff in an instant, dropping the fish from their hands.

But before more fear could rise in their hearts, what happened next left them not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Their faces alternately showed expressions of after-fear and wanting to laugh, contorting their features grotesquely.

"Smack smack smack..." Several heavy slaps landed on the enormous head of Monkey Xiaodi, leaving it utterly baffled.

"Roar roar roar, roar what the hell, you scared me..."

Su Li’s gentle voice didn’t match her actions at all, but mysteriously conveyed a chilling sense.

"You’re the worst lackey I’ve ever taken on, no sense of awareness..."

Da Pan and Xue Guo stared at Su Li with their mouths agape, as she scolded a monkey twice her size as if it were her grandchild.

So funny~

This interjection made it somewhat awkward for Da Pan to further pursue the previous question.

Meanwhile, Xue Guo maintained an attitude of disinterest throughout the ordeal.

Her demeanor actually made Su Li look upon her more favorably.

However, the live stream audience hadn’t forgotten that they were still eager to know the answer.

Su Li’s uncooperative attitude immediately irritated many viewers.

"What’s she playing at, she’s just a nobody, what secrets does she have to hide, are they shameful?"

"Exactly, I was thinking of becoming a fan because of her looks, but didn’t expect her to be so arrogantly dismissive of her seniors."

...

Su Li was like a magnet for controversy, no matter what she did, the shroud of malicious speculation and denigration seemed inseparable from her.

But not everyone engaged in mindless criticism; a few rational souls, disappointed though they were at not satisfying their curiosity, spoke some words of fairness.

"To those hurling insults, isn’t it her right to speak or not? Even if she remains silent, that’s no reason for your malicious attacks."

"Eh, the guy upstairs must be her lapdog. Well, when someone is attractive, they naturally draw attention. It’s just an advantage."

Soon, another melee ensued.

It seemed the production team had also realized that this novice named Su Li was predisposed to scandals. Anything related to her inevitably sparked a storm of controversy, big or small.

This was only the first day on the island, and all the spotlight had been stolen by this girl.

Compared to the disheveled states of Wang Bai, Xie Susu, and Lang Erping, Su Li, Da Pan, and Xue Guo appeared quite presentable.

The clothes they changed into that morning were still clean and untouched by even a speck of dust.

When everyone had almost finished eating, Su Li looked up at the darkening sky and said, "Alright, let’s move the fire inside the cave, it’s going to rain."

"She really believes she’s a God Stick..."

The comments in the live stream had only half-loaded when the real-time footage swiftly captured a long bolt of lightning, followed by several loud booms that seemed as if the sky might crack open any second.

"..."

"Don’t dare to comment anymore, face-slappings come swiftly and ferociously, it’s toxic."

Da Pan and Xue Guo were also stunned, exchanging looks of shock in their eyes. They hadn’t expected that the nonsense Su Li had been spouting would actually come true.

Just a second ago, the sky looked dark but showed no signs of impending rain, yet in the next second, lightning flashed, and thunder rolled one after another.

Immediately after, large raindrops smacked against their faces, causing a surprisingly stinging sensation.

"What are you dazing for? Get to work."

"Oh, oh."

Da Pan clumsily reduced the size of the fire, then carefully moved it inside the cave.

Speaking of the fire, they largely had Little Monkey to thank for it; it had swiped a small lighter from Wang Bai’s jacket.

The production team had rules that guests couldn’t carry extraneous items, but small tools weren’t prohibited—it was up to you whether you wanted to obtain them or not.

He had hidden a small knife on his person, small enough to fit in a pocket, and he had observed that Xue Guo had brought a small knife as well.

Basically, in such a situation, most people would opt for a few essentials: a small knife, lighter, fresh water, etc.

However, according to the production team, the island was supposed to have sunny weather for the next half a month, and the nights wouldn’t be too cold. Plus, based on previous experiences, the production team usually provided supplies, so there was no need for them to make fire and cook for themselves, which made choosing a utility knife more practical.

But they hadn’t anticipated that Wang Bai would hide a lighter, and now... they were benefitting from it.

Da Pan thought of this and mimicked Su Li by throwing an approving glance at Little Monkey.

But what vexed him was that Little Monkey returned his gaze with a look of disdain, flaring its large nostrils and blowing a breath in his direction.

Infuriating...

Not only that, Little Monkey strutted around Da Pan with its chest puffed out, blatantly mocking Da Pan’s incompetence.

Da Pan: "....."

The reality that he was inferior even to a monkey gave rise to a tremendous sense of crisis in Da Pan.

The thighs of the big shots didn’t seem so easy to cling to after all.

Soon, the cave became warm. Leaning against the stone wall, basking in the fire, with the storm raging outside, the inside of the cave felt exceptionally tranquil.

At such times, it would be nice to have a cup of tea.

But there was no tea, only plenty of Monkey Wine.

It was absurd that a wilderness survival outing was turning out to be as comfortable as a leisurely, pastoral life.

Leaving Su Li’s situation aside, the moment his premonition came true, the production team nearly lost their minds.

The director’s phone was blowing up.

Wang Bai, Xie Susu, and the companies behind them were sending furious messages of inquiry to the production team. Even the assistant of that sickly mighty figure who had recently connected with Sister Xue and Qin Qing made a call.

Regardless of how much they cared about these guests, no one wanted to see them come to harm.

Otherwise, everyone involved in the production would be doomed.

In the live chat, viewers were in an uproar, unable to believe that the storm had really struck.

No matter what the production team did to salvage the situation, circumstances had escalated beyond their control.

Even the director issuing a halt to the show and coordinating with various rescue teams, intending to evacuate the island’s inhabitants as quickly as possible, was to no avail.

The storm was too fierce.

The actual conditions at sea prevented the cruise ship from approaching, and the helicopters couldn’t operate in the air, lest they cause even more casualties.

The only consolation was that, as of now, all the guests were still free of life-threatening dangers, but that could change over time.
