The night, the rainforest, the chirping of insects and birds.
The surroundings, not exactly quiet, played a cheerful tune.
As if performing for these two silent contestants.
Compared to the others, these two were incredibly at ease.
Collecting water when it rained, starting a fire with stakes, and even finding a divine artifact like a parachute for a tent!
"Damn, what kind of god-tier treatment is this? Director, did you see this? Are you really letting these two live so comfortably?"
"If it were me, I'd definitely pull some dirty tricks at this point. Who could tolerate this!"
"Hiss hiss, Brother Jiang is truly Brother Jiang, able to think of what others can't, plus Sister Zhou's luck buff, this pair has a bright future!"
Before getting the parachute, everyone doubted if they would be eliminated tonight.
But after getting the parachute, it was like gaining a powerful artifact.
The audience could only admire Jiang Fan's agile thinking and envy Sister Zhou's good fortune.
Because of the poisonous fruit as a precursor, they naturally thought that a lightning strike breaking a tree and obtaining the parachute was Sister Zhou's doing.
Jiang Fan was unaware of the audience's thoughts at this moment, nor did he care.
He looked at the boiling water, but was thinking about the system's voice just now.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the [First Camp] achievement.]
[Reward: 10 Survival Points, Talent [Beast Intimidation].]
As the inorganic notification sound echoed, Jiang Fan, without a second thought, added the Survival Points to his weakness, speed.
Then, he opened the system interface.

...
As usual, there were many talents but no skills.
Obtaining Survival Points was within Jiang Fan's expectations.
After all, the Survival Points he had obtained so far all came from so-called 'achievements'.
But the initial achievements would eventually all be completed.
One had to plan for the future.
Jiang Fan's mind raced, but the system was an external entity, and he couldn't find anyone to ask, so he could only explore slowly.
The crackling of burning wood was in his ears.
He took down the boiling water to cool and placed a new bamboo tube on the fire to boil water.
On this peaceful night, Jiang Fan spoke first.
"I observed the surroundings this afternoon. There are several obvious animal dens."
"We can go check those places to ensure we have enough food."
"This competition will definitely use the rainforest as the venue. If we can familiarize ourselves with this place, it will be of great help in future competitions."
Although it was only the first day on the island, preparations had to be made.
He had never forgotten that this was not just a wilderness survival, but also a competition.
As long as it was a competition, he had never thought of losing.
His plan was simple and clear; even without Zhou Niannian, he could complete it independently during the day.
If Zhou Niannian wanted to rest, Jiang Fan would not be surprised.
After all, she was a pampered female streamer.
However, Zhou Niannian did not sit and wait for food. She nodded and sniffled at her stuffy nose.
"I'll go with you. We still need to hunt at night."
As she spoke, the woman stood up.
A strong and familiar dizziness washed over her.
It was like the feeling she had when struggling through the bushes.
But it was even more uncomfortable.
Her body swayed, and Zhou Niannian involuntarily took a step back, shaking her head in an attempt to clear her mind.
Her limbs felt drained of strength, her body alternately hot and cold, as if it was about to explode.
"There are bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest that are edible, and possibly bamboo rats. I think I saw some bamboo rat nests today."
"Since it's not too late yet, we can quickly..."
Before she could finish, Zhou Niannian felt a wave of dizziness, and the red firelight became blurred.
Her brain finally couldn't bear the strain and shut down.
Along with it, her body fell backward.
About to hit the tangled ground, spilling blood.
In the dormitory, Lin Yang exclaimed when he saw Zhou Niannian in trouble.
He couldn't bear to see Zhou Niannian get hurt, so he averted his eyes.
But he didn't hear a heavy thud.
Looking again, he saw Zhou Niannian's collar being lifted, holding her up and preventing her from falling.
Following the hand upwards, Jiang Fan, who had stood up at some point, was holding Zhou Niannian's collar with one hand.
With one hand!!!
"Holy crap! Is this Popeye?!"
Lin Yang blurted out, marveling at Jiang Fan's arm strength.
Zhou Niannian had once said she was 162 cm tall and weighed over 90 jin.
Although light, being lifted by one hand was truly outrageous!
Let alone others, Lin Yang in front of the computer was stunned.
He couldn't help but pat Zhou Ye, who was working overtime beside him, and said excitedly.
"Zhou Ye, hurry up and look! Brother Jiang is a straight man without a doubt. Shouldn't he be doing a princess carry at this moment? What's with him holding her by the collar?!"
"Princess carry what!!!"
Zhou Ye, sitting at the table on the right, his expression changed instantly upon hearing this. He braced himself and immediately turned to look.
He saw Zhou Niannian, flushed with a feverish complexion, being held by Jiang Fan.
The action, it had to be said, had too many points to critique.
Zhou Ye, who was initially aggressive, his expression turned very strange after seeing their actions.
After a pause, he muttered sourly.
"Where is Jiang Fan's hand going? Men and women shouldn't touch."
"But why does Sister Zhou have a cold?"
Zhou Ye's reaction was a bit strange.
However, Lin Yang was already used to his roommate being sensitive about Sister Zhou.
He initially thought the other person was Sister Zhou's fan, but later found out he wasn't.
Given their similar surnames, their relationship was obvious. Lin Yang didn't pay too much attention, but the other person's words surprised him.
He turned back to the screen. Zhou Niannian's flushed face indeed looked like she had a cold or fever.
"She probably didn't dry her clothes promptly after getting wet earlier."
After saying this, he realized what he had said and immediately hissed.
"No way, how did she catch a cold? Getting sick in the wild has very serious consequences."
If he had caught a cold in the past, he could have endured it with his immunity.
But today's young people were pampered; if they had a minor illness, they would go to the hospital immediately.
If one got sick in a place like the rainforest, it was basically hopeless, and they could only choose to withdraw.
Even Bear Grylls shook his head upon seeing Zhou Niannian's condition.
"This is a severe cold. She needs to be sent to the hospital as soon as possible. In severe cases, respiration and circulation can fail, endangering her life."
