Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Misunderstanding Resolved
After a moment of silence.
Chen Wen suddenly said, "Are you from Hua Country?"
Perfect Mandarin Chinese.
Yan Bian looked at Chen Wen in surprise, "Yes, you... too?"
"Mm."
Clearing his throat, Chen Wen asked again in Chinese, "Are you really here to film a survival show? Not a drug dealer from Southeast Asia?"
"It’s truly for survival!"
Yan Bian was so excited he almost cried, "Brother, I’m not lying to you. I’m really here for survival. I used to work at a travel agency in the Southwest, and I can even speak the dialects from there."
As if to prove himself.
Yan Bian spoke several dialects in succession.
Chen Wen was shocked.
Could he really be one of us?
But he didn’t completely trust the other party.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Wen asked, "Palace Jade Liquor?"
"One hundred and eighty a cup!"
Yan Bian answered without hesitation.
"Holy shit! Really one of us?"
Chen Wen suddenly stood up.
Yan Bian was so excited he was about to cry, "Holy shit, brother, I’m not lying to you! We’re really here to film the show. If you don’t believe me, look at the camera I have."
"Mm."
Chen Wen nodded calmly, but inside he was extremely excited.
If the other person is genuinely a good guy, then I’m definitely saved!
Finally able to escape from the deserted island!
Seemingly aware of Chen Wen’s strangeness, Yan Bian curiously asked, "Brother, may I ask what do you do? Why are you on the island?"
Suppressing his excited heart, Chen Wen explained, "I... am a fisherman."
"I can’t remember how many days it’s been, maybe a week? Our boat encountered sea fog and hit a reef and sank."
"I was lucky to survive and swam to this island. I’ve been waiting for rescue on the northeast coast of the island these days."
Hearing Chen Wen’s words.
Yan Bian leaned back tactically.
Good man, we are here faking survival, and this brother is for real?
"Brother, you’re not lying to me, are you?"
Yan Bian hesitated and said, "To be honest, we’ve been surviving on the southwest corner of the island, but it’s really tough! There are ten of us in total, and we encountered countless accidents, you this..."
Of course, Chen Wen couldn’t mention the system.
He said excitedly, "I’m not lying to you. I’ve been working on the boat, so my physical strength and experience are definitely richer than yours. Let’s do this, seeing is believing, come with me to the camp and you’ll see!"
After communicating, Chen Wen believed Yan Bian’s words about seventy to eighty percent.
On one hand, Yan Bian was always looking at Chen Wen without showing any signs of lying or guilt.
On the other hand, through simple conversation, Chen Wen confirmed the other person was definitely from Hua Country.
Because many of Yan Bian’s verbal habits are unique to Hua Country people.
And Chen Wen could more or less understand Yan Bian’s dialects.
There were some from Chuan Province, and others from Gui Province.
If he hadn’t worked there for a long time, he definitely couldn’t speak so fluently!
Chen Wen tore off the vine and helped Yan Bian up.
At this moment, the sky had darkened significantly, and it had already started to rain lightly.
Chen Wen hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Those two just now..."
"They’re my companions, they should be fine, the rescue team has already gone over, Zhang Hu, the big guy you knocked out with a punch, he was quite innocent, the middle-aged fat guy, he deserved it."
Yan Bian snorted and continued, "The one who shot at you with the crossbow was him! And he did it without mine and Zhang Hu’s agreement."
Hearing this, Chen Wen didn’t say anything.
After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Should we go back? The helicopter went over a while ago, can we catch up?"
"Unlikely! In this weather, the rescue team probably won’t stay long after picking them up, let’s head to your camp and take a break, wait for the rain to stop and make a fire, then they can spot us."
Yan Bian said nonchalantly.
After confirming that Chen Wen posed no danger, he became extremely curious about Chen Wen.
How did he survive on this desolate island?
Was that Black Panther taken down by him alone?
As a tour guide and guide, Yan Bian had a very strong curiosity.
Plus, the current weather was indeed not good; the helicopter wouldn’t stay long.
Yan Bian thought he might as well go along with the flow and planned to check out Chen Wen’s camp.
...
In the pouring rain, under Chen Wen’s lead.
The two quickly arrived at the edge of the rainforest.
"Brother, you walk... wow... really fast!"
Yan Bian panted, keeping up with Chen Wen.
Wiping the rainwater off his face, Chen Wen paused to wait.
He really didn’t feel like he was walking fast, just a normal speed.
"Have you lived in the rainforest?"
Yan Bian asked after catching up.
"No, it’s my first time in the rainforest."
Hearing this, Yan Bian was secretly amazed.
This brother, could he be a natural rainforest guide Saint Physique?
Upon exiting the rainforest, Chen Wen slowed down.
Waiting for Yan Bian was one thing, and the end of the trait bonus was another.
The Black Panther’s trait could only take effect inside the rainforest; what a pity.
Chen Wen shook his head in regret.
Leading Yan Bian back to the camp.
Yan Bian’s attention was instantly captured by the smoldering campfire.
"Do you have any companions?"
Yan Bian asked instinctively.
Chen Wen shook his head sadly, "No, just me."
"This campfire... what did you put on it? Why hasn’t it gone out?"
Yan Bian didn’t notice Chen Wen’s mood.
His gaze was drawn to the campfire.
"Oh, it’s simple, add some sand, or burnt ash will do."
Chen Wen had discovered many good ways to preserve embers lately, and he directly told Yan Bian.
Hearing this, Yan Bian thought of the campfire at his own camp that had gone out countless times.
This brother is truly a remarkable person!
...
"Yan Bian wasn’t found; his locator was removed by someone."
The rescue team captain reported the situation to Xiao Yong with a troubled face, "The rain is too heavy, and the wind is too strong, we didn’t dare to stay, so we just brought Ding Decai and Zhang Hu back first."
Xiao Yong pinched the corner of his eye and asked, "How are the two of them?"
"Zhang Hu is alright; he just got punched and knocked out, but he woke up on the plane, no fractures, but his forehead is swollen."
"Ding Decai... is in serious condition, probably internal injuries, he was in so much pain on the plane that he was rolling around, medical staff are checking him."
Upon hearing about their injuries, Xiao Yong let out a sigh of relief.
But soon, with a look of disdain, he said, "Serves him right! This Ding Decai, he’s really a hassle!"
"As for Yan Bian... once the rain stops, go look for him again."
"Okay."
...
Hanging up the phone.
The rescue team captain felt somewhat helpless.
Looking for someone on such a large deserted island is a bit easier than finding a needle in a haystack, but not by much.
"Let’s rest first, tomorrow will be busy."
Just as the captain planned to grab some sleep.
A team member, glued to the computer screen, seemed transfixed.
The captain, feeling a bit anxious, wondered why the team member was looking at the computer at this time.
Just as he was about to remind the team member.
The team member suddenly said, "Captain, there’s a discovery!"
"What?"
The captain was taken aback.
The team member quickly turned the laptop screen toward the captain, "I just looked at the information sent by the show’s production crew, the person who attacked the challenger and the missing person reported by the maritime bureau, Chen Wen, look very alike!"
"Wait, I don’t understand, say it again."
The captain said in a daze.
The team member, helpless, had to point at the two photos and explain to the captain.
A moment later.
The captain frowned, showing an expression reminiscent of a subway elder struggling with a cell phone.
